weekend. we don't want to be heading home on the fourth of july, but we don't want to be in the eye of the storm either. >> i hope they're wrong. i'm not taking any chances. we have six kids and we want to make sure we're home and safe. >> reporter: an attitude the governor wants everyone to adopt. >> people get too comfortable when there's still potential danger. >> reporter: hurricane arthur is expected to skirt the outer banks, but that's enough to bring the high winds and heavy rain and it is the rain that's the biggest concern. anthony? >> craig, thanks. because of arthur, the boston pops will hold its famous orchestra concert and fireworks one day early. eric fisher of our affiliate wbz has the latest.

>> here's the latest with arthur. now a hurricane has happened during the overnight hours. the pressure is down to .985. that's the sign of a healthy storm. there are hurricane warnings up from surf city to virginia beach. in terms of track, we're expect a track to the north and east and in the first part of the overnight, a landfall potential over the outer banks as a category 1. as we move north and east tomorrow, closer to nantucket. it should stay offshore but close enough to bring impact to new england. in terms of storm surge, one to two feet from south carolina to the coast. there will also be a lot of heavy rainfall in particular eastern, south, and north carolina. earlier in the hurricane season but a lot of folks seeing

disruptive weather when you don't want to see it. >> brace yourself. eric, thank you. here's a closer look at the stormy weather in the northeast. lightning lit up the manhattan sky last night hitting one trade center. there's damaging flooding near portland maichblt po portland, maine. flooding has closed some roads. intelligence officials are worried about al qaeda's efforts to create a bomb that can slip through checkpoints and they're warning about a terror threat from western militants trained in the middle east. mike morell, former director of the cia. good morning, mike. >> good morning, anthony. >> mike, where is this threat coming from?

>> it sounds like it's coming from one of three places. the first possibility is yemen where we have seen al qaeda in yemen try to bring down a u.s. airliner or three different occasions during the past five years. the second possibility is from al qaeda and syria. as you know, there's a large number of foreign fighters who even gone to syria. some of them might be thinking of coming home and conducting terrorist attacks. the third one i'm worried about is the coming together of al qaeda and syria. that would be the worst scenario here. >> some intelligence officials are telling cbs this is now an al qaeda group out of syria. officials have been warning about this potential blow bam from well over a year now. how prepared is the u.s.? >> what usually happens to foreign fighters goh to battlefields like this is they end up dying on the battlefield.

that's what happened in yemen. there's what happened in somalia. so most of them never come home. but so many have gone to syria, 100 from the united states. thousands from western europe. some percentage of them will come home and it is very difficult to monitor them because we don't even know they're there because it is so easy to slip into syria across the turkish border. >> i was in europe last week and sources are telling me there's some real concern not just about tracking but also targeting. when you have your team of civilian citizens, they've got rights. you can't arrest without warrant, you can't target them. how hard is it to protect against this kind of threat? >> the reason i'm worried about the coming together of them is the guys in syria, right, the foreign fighters who have gone to syria can travel freely from western europe to the united

states. they have western passports or they live where they don't need a visa to come to the united states. very difficult to track them. then the reason you're worried about the yemen piece is because of the very sophisticated bombs that yemen is capable of. you bring those together and you worry about somebody getting on an airliner with sort sort of explosive device who can travel to the united states. >> the report is about nonmetallic bombs that can go undetected through airports. what do you hear about this? >> that's the al qaeda piece. yemen has the capability of producing nonmetallic bombs. it's a couple bottles of liquid and a nonmetallic initiation device, so when you kuo go through an airport screener, it is very difficult to attack because there is no metal.

the only group that we're interested in is a guy in yemen. >> mike morell, looking forward to you tracking that story. thank you. >> you're welcome. a colorado woman is being held in a denver jail this morning. she's charged with trying to help the militant group, isis. 19-year-old shannon maureen conl conley. she wants to start a holy war. she was allegedly heading to syria. she met a man online. she first drew attention to the fbi when she started talking about terrorism at a church in colorado. president obama talked with saudi arabia's abdullah.

immigrants will arrive hoping to ward off further protests. major league baseball reportedly allowed alex rodriguez to use performance-enhancing drugs in 2007 and 2008. that's one of the bombshell allegation in a new book about the biogenesis scandal. don dahler is here. good morning. >> good morning. alex rodriguez won the most valuable player award for his staggering numbers he put up in 2007. it now means his two mvp seasons -- may have, three -- was aided by performance enhancing it. he led the american league in home runs are, rbis and extra-base hits and hit h his .500th home runs.

>> it puts the yankees in front. >> reporter: but those historic achievements according to the new book "blood sport" were aided by test t osterone. 111 were grant add tue. only two, apparently including rodriguez received an exemption for medications, the category that would include testosterone. he said they're granted for medical reasons and he may have needed the hormone because his body may have stopped producing its naturally, a side effect of past use. >> we're not sure why he need it

medically but that's often the case. we know he was using because we know he failed. >> reporter: he denied to "60 minutes" that he ever used performance-enhancing drugs. >> have you ever used steroids or other growth performance enhancing substances? >> no. >> have you ever attempted to use any of those things? >> no. >> reporter: the book said he got another exemption in 2008. in a mem yeo baseball said all decisions regarding whether a player shall receive a therapeutic use exemption, are made by the independent program administrator in consultation with outside medical experts.

with no input by either the office of the commissioner or the players' association. the process is confidently administered by the ipa. >> his spokesman said we're turning the page, looking toward 2015, and getting back on the field. anthony. >> don, thanks. next week the authors of "blood sport" will be on our show. that will be tuesday right here on "cbs this morning." it's 7:19. ahead, we're going to check headlines from around the nation. plus,

performance-enhancing drugs. >> a mother gives a candid account of what it's really like to be parent while running a fortune 500 company. >> it's crude. we have no -- we cannot have it all. >> tim howard's world cup performance still inspiring many americans even though the u.s. was eliminated. >> i'm sure his agent is fielding a lot of calls right now. >> a giant whale rose out of the water and capsized their boat. >> i said to myself, keep yourself safe, but if you can save the camera, save the camera. >> i love that. dale, do what you've got to do. save the camera. how about save your life? >> announcer: today's "eye opener" at 8:00 is presented by comfort inn. >> i'm gayle king with anthony mason and margaret brennan. charlie rose and norah o'donnell are off today. arthur may force thousands

along the east coast to rethink their holiday plans in a big hurry. the satellite view shows how big the storm is. arthur is moving toward north carolina's outer banks. >> evacuation orders and hurricane warnings are in place there. chief meteorologist eric fisher of cbs station wbz says conditions will get rough never just hours. eric, good morning. >> good morning. yes, they will. we have a new advisory in from the national hurricane scepter just a couple of seconds ago. arthur continues to strengthen. the winds have increased. the pressure is down to .983. it's strengthening as a category 1. you always want to prepare for the worst-case scenario. close look, you see the center of circulation. the eye of the storm and the eye wall rotating arounde it. hurricane warnings are up from surf city to the virginia border with tropical storm warnings on

either side of that. the track does bring it over the outer banks. it should make landfall as a category 1 or plan for the worst, category two storm. passing about 100 to 150 miles southeast of nantucket. close enough to bring some impact in the form of rain to southern new england. in terms of wind, tropical force winds coming to shore this weekend. crossing the outer banks tonightnd a chance for tropical force winds into cape cod and nantucket. right when you don't want it on a holiday week. >> absolutely. eric, thank you. another storm from the west hit new york hard last night. lightning strikes created a brilliant show along the manhattan skyline. it caused serious flooding. five people were hurt when a wall collapsed underneath the

brooklyn bridge. the benefit of a routine back treatment. millions of people receive steroid injection every year. it's called spinal stenosis but the study suggests the shots might not be worth the trouble. dr. holly phillips is here with you. good morning, hole li. >> good morning. >> shots in the back sound painful to me. >> about 10 million or 11 million are looked at every year. the way spinal stenosis works it happens when the open spaces smarts to shut down. it puts pressure on the spinal cord and the nerve roots coming out of your spinal cord. it leads to pain in your arms, weakness, tingling and in your low back, you can feel pain in your legs.

>> what are they called? >> the shots are called epidural steroid injections. it's where the doctor puts the needle right into the open space. they use it in an extra so we can guide the needle where it needs to go. the idea is it will cut down on inflammation and pain. the study found after six weeks people who hat injections of both a steroid and anesthetic were no better off than people who had the anesthetic only. >> bad enough to get the shot. now we know the shot doesn't work. what should you do? >> i have to say in some ways this was a disappointing study because we really hoped the steroid injections were benefiting people. it's so disappointing because so many have back pain, 65 million americans. as doctors we feel helpless. exercise is the biggest in terms

of strength and pain leechlt medication plays a role and surgery as a last resort but we wish the steroid injections had some benefit. >> i'm starting to think exercise cures everything. >> it does. >> in the meantime -- exercise isn't saying that's what you're to do. they're saying go out and get these injections. >> that's a really important point. before a person can have surgery, a lot of the insurance company say you have to try these injections first. now the study is really calling into question whether or not the steroid injections are, in fact, beneficial. so maybe we're going to see insurance companies changing their policy on that. >> holly phillips, thanks so much. since world war ii has ended 12 men have been president of the united states. the quinnipiac poll puts president obama on the bottom of that list. 33% of americans rate him as the worst since the war.

28% give that distinction to president bush and 13% say richard nixon, the only one to resign. tomorrow malia obama is 16. what it's like to raise a teenager when your address is 1600 pennsylvania avenue. bill plante has more. she's grown so much. good morning. >> good morning. that's right. here's a fun fact. seven of the last nine presidents have had daughters who were teenagering during their time at the white house, so they've all had to deal with trying to give their teenager a normal life. but that's a challenge as president obama admits. >> with the fourth of july on friday, also malia's birthday, she will be 16, a little worrisome. >> reporter: worrisome because

as anyone who has a teen knows, they have a mind of their own. >> they want nothing do with us. they want normalcy. the white house isn't normal. they go other places. i'll say don't you want to invite your friends over to watch a movie. she says no one wants to come here. >> reporter: malia's lived in the white house since she was 10. she's been in politics since she was a toddler. but the obamas try to keep their daughters' lives and rights of passage private. >> malia did have her first prom. >> reporter: he wouldn't say whether she had a date but he has one advantage over other fathers. >> i've got men with guns following them around all the time so that kind of makes me a little less nervous. >> reporter: and tomorrow malia becomes eligible with a learn 'eers permit. >> when we're out of here in a few years, they've got to

function as normal people so driving is a part of that. we're going have to figure that out. >> reporter: anita mcbride spent many years as an aide to first lady laura bush. she watched the bush daughters grow up. >> that's an adjustment for teenagers to know that the secret service is there. they can be very unobtrusive. they're also given a fair amount of direction to let the kids live as normal a life as they possibly can. >> reporter: and as mcbride points out, despite that, there are some perks. >> a birthday party in the bowling alley, the swimming pool, at camp david. birthday celebrations are with family and friends and you just happen to have one great address to host them. >> reporter: well, that's a good list of possibilities but the white house won't say what is planned for malia's birthday. that is part of the usual cone of silence around the activities of ma ley and her sister sasha.

but in the past she's celebrated at camp david. that's not a bad place for a party, gayle. >> i would think it would be a good place but you heard the first lady. nobody wants to come here. >> it must be hard to invite your friends to your house and they have to go through a metal detector. >> i remember when the first lady got there she said they're going to keep as normal as possible, make their own beds and do chores. >> it will be interesting to see what they do when they're out of the white house. >> happy birthday. what made the duchess of

dr. cooper, the physics department is telling me you're refusing to take a vacation. >> i don't need one.

>> the often suggested suggestion that you installed without asking me is can dr. cooper take a vacation. okay. i'll see you all on monday except for you. >> if i don't come in to work, what am i supposed to do? >> read, rest, travel. i hear afghanistan is good this time of year. >> i'm going to pass on that one. the guys from "the big bang theory --" orin, can you roll that back. the u.s. is one of the only advanced economies that does not require companies to pay millions to take off. >> there are 429 million vacation days every year. there's a bunch of mine on that list. the consulting firms help organizations improve employee engamingment. tony, good morning to you. >> good morning to you.

>> why are we so bad at taking vacations? >> several reasons. one, people are in po post-traumatic stress from recession and they still believe if they come back to work and miss -- after missing a few days, there'll be no seat at the desk they used to sit in. that's number one. >> and employers don't discourage that thought at all. >> not at all. which is one of my pieces which is stockholm syndrome. employers are telling pleas we don't really love it when you vacation, i've been chatting with all of you and folks in the room over here, and nobody takes vacation. so clearly employers are not making it a positive thing to do. and then finally people really do feel overwhelmed because you're expected to do more with less and you genuinely feel i can't leave. so that's the stockholm syndrome part of it. we start to identify with the oppressed. >> i'm thinking i need to give you a drink with an umbrella in it. you look like you -- please let

people see your socks. >> oh, wow. >> please let people see tony sh shwartz's socks. >> i thought it would be hard to talk about vacation coming here in a suit. there are many benefits to taking vacation. >> you work better. >> exactly. look. you are able to focus better, you're feeling better about being back at work. you're genuinely speaking after a hire level after you've had time to renew. >> how long does it take to get to a renewal point. does a day here or there add up to anything? >> really not much. we were just talking about it. you really need to take, in the best of all words -- i recognize not everybody can do this. more than a week because if you take four or five days, you spend the first few days chilling out, trying to chill out and you spend the fourth and fifth day trying to get back to work.

i really think the sweet spot is probably about ten days, you know, over that period of time. i think you can start to renew. now, i'm about to take all of august off. >> but you're the boss, tony. >> i know, you say that. >> yes, i say that. >> in the energy project, you get five weeks. in your second, you get five, fifth year, seven weeks. i'm the boss. i'm paying the bills. why would i do that if i didn't think it led to higher productivity? >> why don't companies take your advice? >> they don't understand. it's more continuously if not longer, better. we have lived by that since the industrial revolution. it's not right. when you're working, really work. when you're fueling, refuel. do not work in the grey zone. >> can you work for cbs? thank you very much. he lost a quarter of a century due to a wrongful conviction but michael morton

are dealing with in the last say two hours or so. but as we go toward in time we will see temperatures in the mid 70's, heat up to near 90 or hitting 90 which we will get to in the city. outside lower merion high school more clouds at the moment but depend ing on location we have sun, mix of sun and clouds or just straight up clouds. it just depend. it will still be hot and team i across the board and everybody will deal with more storms as the day goes on. clearing out through friday, bob. >> good morning, everyone. 8:26. light volume so far. here's a live look at route one in bucks county. roads are still damp that we had last night and earlier this morning. lets go to the schuylkill expressway, live look right here near montgomery drive, folks on the right not bad at all, hardly seeing a rush hour so far this morning. i think that is a sure sign that the holiday is upon us here on the right heading inbound in toward city. mass transit septa running with 20 minute delays on the media elwyn regional rail

most extraordinary part of his jury may may be what he's accomplished since. good morning. >> good morning. you don't often meet mike people like michael morgan. he walked away from prison without bitterness. instead he wanted to change the law. we wanted to see what michael had made of his life and the freedom he fought so hard for. at the end of a small lake tucked away in east texas, the air smells of pine. a warm breeze carries across the water and michael morton relishes his new home. >> i get to watch the world wake up every day and i get to do that on my terms, not anybody else's. >> reporter: it could not be more different from the cell where michael spent much of his time in prison. >> i've lost so much. it takes very little to make me happy. i'm married now, and my wife loves its that i think she's a

great cook. she said, after what you've been eating i could serve you anything. >> what is happiness for you? >> happiness is normalcy. i'm not in that cage anymore. >> reporter: michael morton's nightmare began in 1986 when his wife christine was bludgeoned to death in their home in austin, texas. despite no direct evidence linking him to the crime, he quickly became the prime suspect. at his trial, williamsson county district attorney ken anderson painted a piks of him as a violently sexually depraved murderer who showed no remorse for his crime. >> it got sickening to watch him cry at the wrong time and he only seemed to cry for himself r the jury believed anderson and sent morton to prison frn life. he lost his wife, his freedom, and now his son eric. this home video was taken just months before they were

separated. a heartbreaking moment morton described for us on "60 minutes. ". >> they literally pulled my son out of my arms. he was screaming for me. his little hands were out and he was being pulled away. it was one of the worst parts. >> reporter: eric was 3 years old when his father was arrested and grew up believing he was a murderer. over the years he gradually erased him from his life and even changed his name. so the news that dna evidence had proven morton was innocent was at first hard for eric to accept. >> i was a little scared because it just meant, you know, something was going to change. >> reporter: everything was going to change. >> pretty much. >> reporter: and it has. we met eric and his dad at the houston home of his lawyer and close friend john. it was here on this bench in november 2011 that eric and his father were reunited.

they had not seen each other for 15 years. >> the cool thing about us getting back together is nobody, nobody can tell him the things about his mother they can and that's been a real strong link between us. >> so in a way she's brought you two together even in depth. >> yeah. >> reporter: not long after morton came out of prison, eric and his wife maggie had their first child, a baby girl. they called her christine after his mother. what was it like for you the first time you held your granddaughter? >> oh, man. i thought she was the golden child, you know? everything she did was perfect. but i also cannot not see my late wife's eyes in her too because she had those same eyes. >> reporter: christine is now 2

years old and has a little brother patrick. they live a few hours away from their grandparents who try to see them as much as they can. >> every day's good. there's not much we could do that i'd be disappointed in. >> you can't believe you're sitting next to him. >> yeah. >> it's quite incredible. the last time we met, you were just getting to know him again. >> barely, yeah. in fact, it was a little overwhelming because i was getting to know everyone. >> reporter: he credits john and the team for his freedom. he and his attorney say he would have never have been convicted if his former prosecutor ken anderson had not withheld evidence during his trial. they worked hard to see him held accountable, and last year anderson was sentenced to prison for ten days, resigned from the bench, and was banned from

practicing law in texas. it was regarded as an unprecedented outcome, but it was not morton's only victory. he also lobbied successfully for a new law that requires entire files get handed over, not just evidence that the prosecution deems favorable to the defense. it's called the michael morton act. >> before that the prosecutors were the gatekeepers. they got to decide, i may or may not want to turn this over. >> and now? >> now, they must turn over all offense reports which are the investigation of the police officers and the deputies. they have to turn those over, the complete file. it's a different world now. >> reporter: morton has also been the subject of an award-winning documentary. >> there's a lot of evil residing within these walls. >> reporter: and written a book about his life pub lived by cbs subsidiary, simon & schuster.

he and his wife cynthia are now living the life he was denied for so long at the end of that small lake in east texas. >> being in the water is like flying, and so water's kind of freedom. >> are you at peace? >> oh, yeah. i'm a blessed man. >> last year morton saw his wife's real killer sentenced to life in prison. that man mark allen norwood has since been charged with another murder that took place another month after he killed christine morton. meanwhile the innocence project is conducting a review of all cases by ken anderson in the county. >> such a great story for michael morton. i'm so glad fortunate that he was people believed in him. how difficult has it been for the father and son to reconnect? i'm have interested in that relationship. >> that's been a fragile and somewhat painful journey. michael spent all those years in

prison with one thought, to see his son again and yet eric spent his whole life trying to erase his father from his life. it shook his foundation. everything he believed in was not true. it's like telling us the world is round and somebody else saying it is not. >> you have to go bark on o all your thought sneefrsing. everything. it would seem a little cold but at first he didn't want him. he didn't want to have anything to do with him. >> how did he meet his new wife? >> at church. >> it's funny. they went out for coffee a few times. she said he was so dense she had to ask him out. they are very, very happy. >> they look it. it's great story. thank you, lara.

advice which was don't mess up. and he went and did it and he was sneesk but you did have to bribe him to learn his line? >> he had one line. i had to bribe him not to get shy, miss his mark or come plachbl basically i said you have to be nicer than everybody else on the set and i told him he could buy a spider-man at the end. >> he got the spider-man. >> with his own money he earned for doing his one line. his one line, it's super memory woman. >> this is what i read about you. you arrived in hollywood with a book that said -- >> -- how to make it in hollywood. i bought it as a samuel french bookstore in hollywood and i didn't have anything else. u read about julia roberts' manager and called him up and he's a kind guy. he didn't think i was a stalker crazy nut guy and he represented me and i started going on auditions and i think my first

mail. the letter sent out when hoover was in the white house. how it finally got delivered just days ago next on "cbs this morning."

this letter gives new meaning to the term "snail mail." a 23-year-old school teacher wrote in 1931 and mailed it to her mother. the writer's niece received it in pittsfield, maine, last week. >> the very first part i love because she said, and it's so ironic, she said i'm sorry i haven't gotten to it later. i know you've been waiting all weeks. here it is 83 years later and it's just being delivered. >> a postal worker found it. it stood out because it was mailed with a 2-cent stamp. so far no one knows how it disappeared for decades. it had to be stuck under something. >> i guess i'd want to know,

margaret, where was the letter, and in pretty good shape we showed people a survey that stacked fios up against comcast. what's it like paying for internet that's rated 6th out of 7 in customer satisfaction? not good. it's not the best. no, that's not fun. look at it this way, you're kind of on top. if i was like this, all day. switch from the bottom to the top and see why millions of satisfied customers have made fios #1. sign up for a verizon fios triple play with a 2-year agreement and get $300 back. plus, a free lg tablet or up to $200 off any tablet from verizon wireless.
