7:03 am
welcome to "cbs this morning," and good morning, norah. >> good morning to you, charlie. >> as you wake up in the west, we begin with a lifeline in california, desperately needed wayne made it to many of you battling severe drought. >> look at some of the totals across the bay area in the last five days. in kentfield, nearly 12 inches. san francisco got more than 3 inches. and in mill valley, about 10.5 inches, and that's where we find john blackstone with a look at the rain's impact on the drought emergency there. john, good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning, charlie and norah. well, as the sun rises in mill valley, the fast-flowing muddy creek is big news, because we haven't seen anything like this in northern california in more than a year. since this pineapple express storm moved in on friday, we've had to deal with something we're just not used to here. rain. so much rain, falling so quickly, it did cause problems.
7:04 am
there were small-scale flooding in a few communities, trees knocked down, and a landslide that closed a road north of san francisco. the slick streets sometimes meant trouble for drivers unaccustomed to wet pavement, and main routes to the wine country in napa and sonoma counties, were under water, but the vineyards like the rest of california are in bad need of the moisture. a storm that might have brought complaints of trouble and inconvenience was instead largely being welcomed by those getting soaked. >> we need the rain. so i'm all for it. >> reporter: for weeks now, california residents have been warned to do all they can to conserve water. those who planned ahead are saving some of what's been falling for a not-so-rainy day. a lumber store in fair tax, california, has been selling plastic barrels to collect rainwater. >> it's as simple as this. >> absolutely. it's been here a few hours and it's almost full. free. there you go. fill it up with water, and have at it. >> thank you very much.
7:05 am
mother nature! >> reporter: nowhere was the precipitation more welcomed than in the ski areas around lake tahoe that until now depended on snowmaking machines. >> whew! first powder of the year! >> reporter: mountain ski areas reported getting two to four feet of new snow over the weekend. >> it's better late than never, and we couldn't be happier. >> reporter: while every drop of water that's arrived is appreciated here, weather forecasters warn they cannot declare the drought over by any means, and most of california, rainfall totals are still only about 25% of normal. charlie, norah? >> thanks, john. storm brought snow and ice to those of you in the pacific northwest. seattle saw up to 3 inches of snow, freezing rain turned roads in portland into sheets of ice. and this morning, the southeast is preparing for new winter blast. meteorologist megan glaros of our chicago station, wbbm, is tracking it all. >> good morning, charlie and
7:06 am
norah. talking about bitter cold for the great plains and the midwest again. the high in chicago, 20 degrees below average, same for minneapolis today. while it's 52 in atlanta today, tomorrow the high temperature in the 30s. a problem, because another storm system is moving into the deep south, creating the possibility of sleet, ice, and snow potential from now, likely all the way through the day on wednesday. and this is going to be a long-term situation, creating an icy mix from the heart of texas on off to the carolina coastline. northern extent of the storm system on average, 1 to 3 inches of snow. this will be a longer period of ice and snow than the storm system we had in late january there. as the low emerges off the coastline, it does bring about the potential for a northeast snowstorm, but we're not sure yet if the low tracks out to sea or stays along the coast. charlie, norah? >> all right, thank you, and now to a potential watershed moment in american sports. the top prospect for this year's nfl draft revealed sunday that he is a gay man. michael sam is a defensive lineman from the university of
7:07 am
missouri. he is likely to become the first and only openly gay player in pro football. james brown is the host of "the nfl today" on cbs. he's in washington. j.b., good morning. >> good morning, norah and charlie. well, michael sam says he decided to come forward now because he knew there were already rumors about his sexuality, and he wanted to come out proudly and on his own terms. but in a sport where no other player has done so before, it's a bold move and a potential risk. >> came to tell the world that i'm a gay, proud man. >> reporter: at 6'2", michael sam led the s.e.c. in sacks last year. but it may take a different kind of tough to break down one of the biggest barriers in professional sports. >> i'm not afraid of who i am. i'm not afraid to tell the world who i am. >> reporter: after sam came out in interviews with "the new york times" and espn, many players
7:08 am
expressed support on social media. including super bowl mvp malcolm smith, who tweeted, quote, there is no room for bigotry in american sports. it takes courage to change the culture. saints linebacker jonathan vilma talked about the prospect of a gay teammate. >> i think that he would not be accepted as much as we think he would be accepted. i imagine if he's the guy next to me and, you know, i get dressed naked, taking a shower, the whole nine, and it just so happens he looks at me, how am i supposed to respond? >> reporter: former vikings punter chris kluwe says he thinks it cost him his job. >> i think there are players that are reluctant to come out. i think it's something that's changing with time.
7:09 am
>> reporter: michael sam could test the league. his credentials include first-team all-america, s.e.c. defensive player of the year and team mvp. but a spot in the nfl is not guaranteed. >> you talk about a very good player. but you can't be naive, and i'm sure there are some teams who are very high on him, who at this very moment are kind of weighing, do we really need this? >> reporter: sam says it's what he does on the field that should matter. but he knows coming out could be a game changer. >> i probably will be the first, but i won't be the last. i think only good things are going to come from this. >> reporter: charlie and norah, the nfl released a statement saying, quote, that we admire michael sam's honesty and courage and look forward to welcoming and supporting him in 2014. i think it's important to note, as well, that no current nfl players have publicly come out, and the same also goes for the nba, nhl, and major league baseball.
7:10 am
charlie, norah? >> j.b., thanks. at the winter olympics, norway leads with seven meddle as. canada and the united states both have five medals, including two golds. the u.s. added a bronze this morning. mark phillips is at sochi olympic park where the competition is matched only by cameos from president vladimir putin. mark, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, charlie. good morning, norah. well, for olympic games that had such a controversial run-up, the games themselves, remember them, have gone pretty smoothly. in fact, over the weekend, there were two brand-new and for the united states very successful events. team figure skating is a new event at these games, brought in because the olympic organizers know tv audiences can't get enough of it. men and women drawn to the irresistible combination of athleticism, drama, and sequins. for skaters like ashley wagner, a controversial choice for the u.s. team, because she only finished fourth in the trials, it was a good shakedown for the real thing.
7:11 am
>> competing in the team event was really just a nice little warm-up for us, and we were able to just get out onto the ice and figure out how the olympic ice feels. >> reporter: it felt pretty good for the dance pair of charlie white and meryl davis, who skated last and had to perform to guarantee an american medal. bronze it was. >> it's always fun when you can come from behind and win a medal. >> reporter: the u.s. golds over the weekend were in another new olympic sport chosen to juice up the games, slope style. >> this could be it for jamie anderson. >> reporter: jamie anderson helped bring snowboard to the event. >> hit the first rail, no slide, 50/50, back 180 off the second feature, cab 180 to back 180 off the cannon, switch seven, switchback five, and front seven. >> reporter: sage kotsenburg
7:12 am
brought the other u.s. gold. >> great to be here and represent the usa, for sure, and being a part of the first slope style team for the u.s. is pretty cool, and bringing home the gold is just icing on the cake. >> the best at the top of the hill. >> reporter: there was no icing on the cake for bode miller in the men's downhill. he had been fastest in practice, but it wasn't bode's day. >> how can you explain this, todd? >> reporter: every day, though, is vladimir putin's day, it seems. the russian president is prominently featured in his country's coverage. he's everywhere. putin's games continue. and these have been a very russian games, maybe because of soc sochi's remote location, maybe because of the terrorism warnings that preceded the games, but very few foreigners around here. as for the russians, they won the first gold over the weekend. they'll have to win lot more for the games to be a success.
7:13 am
>> all right, mark, thank you. and francois hollande arrives for a three-day visit. he is coming to washington by himself thanks to a scandal back in paris. as bill plante reports, that news forced the white house to make some adjustments. bill, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. and good morning in the west. you know, when the white house first announced this trip back in november, president hollande was living with his longtime girlfriend valerie, which made her france's unofficial first lady. at the time, the official white house announcement of the visit, even the printed en eed invitat the state dinner included both of their names, but now they've broken up, and the french president is coming stag. >> it is my great pleasure to welcome president hollande to the united states. >> reporter: the first time francois hollande visited the white house in may 2012, he was fresh off his presidential victory in france. and he was with his partner,
7:14 am
valerie trivelere. more than a year and a half later, their relationship is over. the tabloids report an affair between the president and an actress. hollande is begging for privacy. "these are painful moments," he said, "but personal affairs should be treated privately." but hollande's u.s. trip goes on. he has meetings with president obama. france is a key supporter of american foreign policy, working closely with the u.s. to curb iran's nuclear program and to pressure the assad regime in syria. issues that will likely come up during a joint press conference tuesday. that evening, there's a state dinner. >> certainly that photo, that iconic photo that we see at every state dinner on the north po portico will be different. anita says the invitations and seating may have changed, but
7:15 am
she strongly doubts that the u.s. ever considered postponing the trip. >> the decision is made based on important strategic decisions that the two leaders need to discuss. >> reporter: president hollande arrives today, but the official welcome with troops and trumpets on the south lawn of the white house is tomorrow, because early this afternoon, president obama takes president hollande to visit monticello, the home of thomas jefferson. jefferson loved france. he spent four years there as u.s. ambassador and brought home a lot of wine. charlie, norah? >> as you would know, bill. thank you very much. and a new report this morning says the obama administration is looking for a legal way to kill an american al qaeda suspect. officials say the man is planning deadly attacks on fellow americans. the justice department is preparing a case to allow a drone strike. the suspect is hiding in an undisclosed country where u.s. troops are not allowed to go. a suicide car bombing in
7:16 am
kabul, afghanistan, killed two contractors this morning. the explosion targeted a caravan in the capital. charlie dageda reports. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. our colleagues at the scene say the attack happened after the contractors left a meeting with officials at a prison in eastern kabul. what we're about to show you is the taliban video planning an attack back in june with a message meant to extend beyond the borders of afghanistan. the video shows men wearing what appears to be u.s. fatigues getting prepped for a suicide mission on what they say is the cia compound. it's clearly aimed at an audience outside that room, in english. >> we are not the uneducated people, and we're not the backwards people.
7:17 am
>> reporter: later, some fighters are shown using fake u.s. i.d.s and driving the keend of suvs used by american security personnel in afghanistan. it doesn't show any of the attack itself except news coverage, our cbs team shot this footage of the aftermath. for all that planning, the fighters were never able to get past the final gate. once the guards realized the i.d.s were fakes, the suicide bombers detonated themselves and there was a gunfight with afghan security forces. there were no reports of americans who were killed or wounded in the attack. charlie and norah? >> all right, charlie, thank you. now to a pair of highway tragedies on both ends of the country. the crashes claimed 11 lives. outside los angeles this morning, a driver accused of causing one collision facing charges of dui and manslaughter. another accident, tampa, killed four members of a college fraternity. as jeff reports, each case is part of a growing trend wrong-way drivers.
7:18 am
>> what is he doing? >> reporter: around 2:00 a.m. sunday, a driver shot this cell phone video of a car going the wrong way on a florida highway. >> he's on the wrong side. >> reporter: the suv was headed south in a northbound lane. >> he's in the right lane. where is he going? >> reporter: then, disaster. the driver of the suv died at the scene along with four young men in the other car, all members of the same fraternity at the university of south florida. that same night, in diamond bar, california, 21-year-old woman driving more than 100 miles an hour eastbound on a westbound freeway hit two cars head-on, killing six. >> it's horrific. four of them were deceased on the scene. two of them passed away at the hospital. >> reporter: police believe the driver who survived the crash was intoxicated. mark, the former chairman of the national transportation safety board. >> these are extremely rare
7:19 am
accidents. unfortunately, though, when they do occur, the results are catastrophic. >> reporter: in a 2012 report by the ntsb, one study found the death rate for these types of wrong-way collisions was 27 times higher than other accidents. the report goes on to say that alcohol was involved in 60% of fatal wrong-way crashes. >> most of the time it's alcohol or drug-related. however, the study's indicated that even older people who get confused can sometimes get into the situations. >> reporter: the report lists a number of ways the ntsb believes these accidents could be prevented, including changes to highway designs. many of the board's recommendations still haven't been implemented. >> what is he doing? >> reporter: for "cbs th,,

7:31 am
where the crowds are nt filling the venue with it in its fifth full day. this morning they return with a major reversal. tim armstrong said the blame on benefits could be blamed on parents with children. one parent is taking them head on. >> she certainly is. armstrong said two babies cost millions of dollars and changed their major retirement plan. he was forced to bid a hasty retreat and now the mother of one of those babies is speaking out. little mila took her first steps last week, no small feat when her mother didn't know if she'd live to see her first birthday.
7:32 am
>> we were told she might not live a week, a month, a day. >> reporter: mila was born four months premature. weighing just 1 pound, 9 ounces, she spent three months in the neonatal intensive care unit fighting for her life. >> one day when her right lung collapsed, one day when she actually stopped breathing, one day when they discovered she had a bleed in her brain. >> reporter: faye's husband working at "the huffington post" which is owned by aol. during an employee town hall meeting armstrong reportedly said we had two aolers distressed babies that were preborn that we paid a million dollar each to make sure the babies were okay. he added those expenses along with obamacare would force the company to cut benefits like 401(k) matching benefits and
7:33 am
replacing them with a lump payment. >> to me it was life a whiff of judgment with what he said like we had been sort of selfish or greedy consumers of health care benefits that saving her life was this extravagant option. >> reporter: the controversy erupted when armstrong's words became public. >> well, if he hadn't brought up distressed babies and singled out two employees. >> it's hard for me to control my rage. >> reporter: on saturday, armstrong, whose 2012 compensation package was $12 million reversed course. in an e-mail to employees he said we have decided to change the policy back to a per-pay period matching contribution. on a personal note, i made a mistake and i apologize for my comments last week at the town hall when i mentioned specific health care examples. >> we never wanted to talk publicly about what happened to
7:34 am
us, but i felt the need to saying okay, well, if you're going to single us out, then let me tell her story. >> deana faye says tim armstrong personally called to apologize. this is not the first time his comments to employees have landed him in hot water. last year he fired the creative director of patch, its network of local news websites during a company-wide news conference call. his offense, taking photos of armstrong during that call. frank, good morning. >> good morning. >> with armstrong, will this satisfy his critics. >> in some ways no it won't and it will never fully go away. there are certain lessons in this, two in particular. number one, you never personalize a decision for a corporation. you've got thousands of employees. if you think they're being victimized, they'll never for
7:35 am
forgive you and second that you don't politicize. and he used the word obamacare. as a ceo you want to call it the affordable care act. the language that he used was ineffective and got him into an awful lot of trouble. >> first in an interview on cnbc he seemed to blame obamacare and then in a conference call with employees he blamed these two distressed ba distressed babies for the reason that everyone in the company's 401(k) plan would be changed. is his apology going to be enough? >> i'm not sure. i want to broughten this. cbos go through this every week. every politician, it's like a buzz saw, the ceo of whole foods got into a lot of trouble and he's on the left criticized the president's health care act. the first thing you have to do is prove your intentions, that your intentions are good, that it's really about the welfare of the employees and the company. second, you've got to address
7:36 am
the bigger picture. they just don't want to look at it in terms of 401(k) and health care. they want know wait means in the future, five, ten years, and beyond, and, third, you have to respect those who disagree with you. what armstrong did in the town hall was give a declaration. what he should have done is listen and learned, explained without politics and then pull in what they think. >> you mean listen before you speak? >> they think they have more to answer, better promise offers than elected officials and over 80% trust their own leadership when it comes to policies like this. so you've just got to do it carefully. >> are a lot of ceos concerned about the cost of obama care? >> almost everyone i'm dealing with. and they're running through the same issues as armstrong did which is how to explain it so
7:37 am
they don't cause an uproar but how to deal with it so they don't have the ramifications of it. don't forget. there's certain promises made about the health care legislation three years ago that have proven not to be true. nevertheless, no one wants to be in a cbs profile like we just did of tim armstrong which is going to make them very nervous about what they say and how the minimal enunciation necessary to communicate the schematic texts. >> they joined forces to honor one of the most historic moments in music. anthony mason was there. anthony, good morning. >> good morning, charlie. pop culture has. been the same since beatles took

8:21 am
sit not the case that you're going to end up with on average a lot more negative side effects in women than men? it basically has to happen. >> and it does. a gao report from 1997 to 2001 posed greater health risks for men than women. today when it comes government funded studies on humans, women must be included by law, but many researchers don't then take the next step and analyze the results by sex, which some argue defeats the whole purpose. we have come upon studies where they do use both male and female, but they then don't analyze how the two respond differently. if they have the two but no analysis of the difference. >> if you do the two together and you think females are here and males are here or vice versa, then you're going to get

results that are height here, so they're not predictive of either, males or fee mails. >> dr. paula johnson is director of the women's center of health and biology. good morning. >> good morning. >> your report fans nate and scared me at the same time because don't we already know the differences between men and women? we know there are differences. i don't know why we're getting short end here. >> we know there are differences but remember it was only 20 years ago in 1993 that there was a law passed that mandated the incluns clooufgs women and minorities in nih trials and it's really been over the past 20 years that we learn that these sex differences occur and really occur across all diseases. >> but they don't do anything with the data. >> well, there's a real lack of focus, which is we're not actually including women in another enough bers to really understand the impact and then we're also not analyzing the data across all types of research and then there's the research that comes before a
8:23 am
clinical trial. so really from stem cells to animal studies to human studies, we're really not focusing in on these sex differences across the board. >> why not? >> well, i think there's been a real lack of focus on this issue. and i'm so pleased to see that the awareness is being raised. you know, it took a law 20 years ago to include women and minorities. i think that there's been some focus, but we really haven't done enough. >> what kinds of drugs are we talking about? lesley talked about ambien as being the first. >> aspirin. something as simple as an aspirin. we learn it varies differently. we knew it prevented heart attack. now it prevents stroke, but only in women over the age of 65.
8:24 am
statins, very commonly used. older women will tend to have more muscle aches and pains that might inhibit them getting the full benefit of these drugs and we don't know why. >> what should we do? >> the first thing you can do is ask your doctor is this treatment, diagnosis, disease different in women. >> do the doctors know the answer to that question? >> they may not know but they'll start looking. >> can i ask you a follow-up on charlie's question why? do you think it's ignorance or discrimination? >> well, i won't go so far as to say discrimination but there's a lack of understanding. >> why? there are so many women in medicine. we all know this. this is so simple. >> i don't think it's just gender in medicine. i think there are both men and women investigators. they have shown scientifically that these differences are pervasive and now we have to

anncr: at jennie-o we heard of a place in iowa where every thursday people ride 10 miles for tacos. we thought we'd show up and surprise them with a better kind of taco made with jennie-o ground turkey cooked thoroughly to 165. i feed my kids turkey tacos over regular tacos any day. i think they are light and they are just fresh tasting.

animals are headed toward their demise. elizabeth colbert is an author of "the sixth extinction." she joins professor michio kaku from the university of new york. you were talking about us as human beings. we could be the sixth extinction caused by our own hand. >> i guess one of the lessons we have learned from the extinctions of the past. there have been five other major extinctions. the rules of the game changed so that you really don't know what's going to happen would be what i say to that. >> when we hear extinction, we think dinosaurs, catastrophic. are you predicting something catastrophic? >> dinosaurs, it's a pretty confirmed consensus that dinosaurs were willed by an

asteroid impact. now i hear we are the asteroid, humans are the asteroid and could have that sort of effect. >> just for the record -- >> they're talking five skpin extinctions. that's the last ones they did do. >> was it instant or did they die off over a period of time? >> when you go back that far, you know, everything gets compressed down to lair. sort of csi on something that happened 65 million years ago. >> what are you saying here? that we're going to be extent due to the planet. what is it that extincts us? >> it's the very rapid change in the planet. a lot of animals can't keep up. a lot of organisms can't keep up with that. the reason it is comparable or potentially comparable is we're
8:47 am
changing the planet very, very fast. how are we doing that? >> we're putting a lot of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. we're putting a lot of carbon dioxide into the ocean, we're changing chemicals. we're moving things around the planet. things that haven't been in contact for a million years. every day 10,000 species are being moved around the planet. >> professor kaku, do you think we need to do something and we need to do it now? >> well, some people say why should i care about some icky spiders and young can worms and the amazon rainforest. the thing is we humans are at the top of the food chain and it would. take much to topple us. for example, as the oceans become more acid feed, that means a die-off in the coral reefs, a die offin the fish population or the amazon forest.
8:48 am
these are the lungs of the earth. carbon monoxide gets recycled. we're endangering the very air we breathe and so the next endangered species could be us. >> deforest a rainforest, you mean cutting down the trees. the carbon dioxide we put in the air is destroying the coral reefs. >> that's right. it's happened before. in part, the mayan civilization, the eastern islanders. in part declined because they overforested, they overfished and they de fforested their environmental. >> elizabeth, this is reversible. >> well, if you're one of the species already gone, clear let's not reversible. the question is what are we going to do now that we have this sort of understanding of what we're doing? can we mitigate the effects of whew we're doing? the answer is yes. there are many things we could do. for example, we could stop
