we made it to friday, everybody. congratulations. good morning and welcome to t"te early show". >> julie will be mehere in a little while. this morning we're seeing that well that's gushing oil into the gulf of mexico in real time. this picture shows you the oil and gas that is spewing out which bp now acknowledges what a lot of people have been saying for a long time, that it's a lot more than originally estimated. that's just one of several new developments this morning and we'll ask a bp official about all of them. >> and it took a month to get that picture. first the latest from wall street. not good news as financial reform takes a giant step forward. late last night, the senate approved tough new rules on banks and other institutions which could be put in place by the fourth of july. cbs news business and economics correspondent rebecca jarvis is
7:02 am
at the new york stock exchange. good morning. >> reporter: and we've seen two big questions lately spooking the markets. one is the future of financial regulatory reform. the other is the status of the global recovery and with the senate's vote last night, we have an answer or a closer answer to one of those big questions. >> the bill as amended is passed. >> reporter: with those words, the senate approved the most sweeping financial regulation of wall street since the great depression. the financial regulatory reform act passed the senate by a 59-39 vote. four republicans voted in favor. two democrats opposed it. coming just two months after health care reform, it's viewed as an important achievement for president obama. >> our goal is not to punish the banks but to protect the larger economy and the american people from the kind of upheavals that we've seen in the past few years. >> reporter: some of the key provisions create a financial stability oversight council that would identify risks to the
7:03 am
financial system, set up a bureau of consumer protection to curb abusive lending, particularly with mortgages, ensure that troubled companies no matter how big can be liquidated at no cost to taxpayers. >> because of financial reform, the american people will never again be asked to foot the pill for wall street's mistakes. there will be no more taxpayer funded bailouts.pill for wall street's mistakes. there will be no more taxpayer funded bailouts. period. >> reporter: the bill still needs to be reconciled with the house version passed in november. and senators like chris dodd are pushing for a vote on that reconciled version by july 4th. >> let's and you can about ttal a and the bill. the volatility down there is nutty. >> reporter: and uncertainty and instability, that's the key
7:04 am
word. it's not just about this financial regulatory reform. which is a big component. it will definitely determine how banks in the future do their businesses and some things can really change about how banks conduct business. but also this question about the global recovery. the fears over what's happening with europe's debt right now are certainly playing in to that uncertainty, as well. >> rebecca jarvis on wall street this morning. thank you so much. this morning a jet blue pilot is in deep trouble after allegedly threatening to crash the plane that he was scheduled to fly. eileen curran of our boston station, wbz tv is at logan airport where he was taken into custody. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. this appears to stem from a bad breakup. sources tell us the jet blue pilot's girlfriend contacted authorities after she received an e-mail from him where he threatened to crash the plane he was about to flyoncile with him.
7:05 am
it was the most unsettling news for passengers about to take off on jet blue last night in boston. >> i don't think it's appropriate, especially with what's going on rn at world. >> reporter: a source tells wbz a pilot, so personally distraught, he e-mailed his girlfriend threatening to crash the plane he was about to fly if h they didn't reconcile their relationship. >> it's ridiculous, but people say things and they don't always mean it. >> reporter: but this was taken seriously. the tsa confirms the pilot was taken into custody, admitted he wasn't fit for duty, and needed help. and taken to a local hospital for a psychiatric evaluation. >> i would think given all the training that they've had, that they would have been given all sorts of warnings about the implications of anything that they say to anybody. >> reporter: the airline released a statement saying, quote, a jet blue pilot was removed from duty for health related reasons. at no point were any customers
7:06 am
or aircraft in danger. and jet blue calls reports the pilot threatened to crash his plane, quote, pure speculation. >> if that's something that's on his mind, you know, you can't -- that can't be taken too lightly. >> reporter: and jet blue also says it is working closely with boston authorities to make sure that the pilot gets the proper medical attention. maggie, back to you. >> eileen curran of wbz tv, thanks. now for the latest on the massive oil spill in the gulf. this morning bp is conceding that the size of the spill is bigger than its original estimate. oil has now washed ashore in populated areas along the louisiana coast and people there are getting angry. cbs news correspondent mark strassmann is in empire, louisiana with more. good morning, mark. >> reporter: good morning, harry. as you just mentioned, as more oil does wash ashore, a deepening frustration and fury and gloom is also settling here.
7:07 am
harsh feelings dreblgts s dire bp and the federal government. a feeling that this disaster will only get worse. oil has finally washed up where louisianians live. people had wanted it the feds to build sand barriers. they're still asking, but less politery. >> wasn't them to get our their butts. you've got to give us a permit. >> reporter: thursday bp allowed the first real time images of the gushing well, but only under pressure from congress. company officials admit the leak is much great every than earlier estimates. the black tube with stripes is the straw-like device syphoning up 200,000 gallons of oil a day, but hook how much isn't being collected. congressman ed markey, a bp critic. >> bp has lost all credit ability. now the decisions will have to be made by others.creditability. now the decisions will have to be made by others. it's clear that they have been
7:08 am
hiding the actual consequences of this spill. >> reporter: unit der orders from the epa, bp has to switch to less toxic chemicals to break up oil in the water. this video obtained exclusively by cbs news shows the chemicals in a light colored cloud mixing with the oil may 2nd. bp has already used 655,000 gallons of the toxic dispersants. none of it's good news to jeff gallet. he worries about the oyster areas his family has fished for four generations. >> this is going from oyster shrimp from birds, fish, everything. >> reporter: bp's credibility is a major frustration, a complaint here, a sense that the company will not give people here the straight story about the magnitude of this disaster. homeland security secretary napolitano agrees. she has sent a letter to the company demanding a full and
7:09 am
public disclosure. maggie? >> mark strassmann in louisiana. thanks, mark. joining ugs now from robert, louisiana is chief operating office doug suttles. good morning. we've learned bp grossly underestimated the size of the leak, that congress had to pressure you to reveal the live video. can you can understand why a congressman told thaws bp has lost all credibility? >> well, maggie, i understand the frustration. i know people want more information. they want this thing to come to an end, they want us to be able to clean it up very, very quickly and we're rye to go do these things. i can tell you we're trying to give the data as quick as we. we've tried to upload the video to our website. i think that's up now. the chemicals we're using for dispersants are actually approved by the epa.
7:10 am
>> but it seems like every day we hear new allegations that bp had been cutting corner respect. the most recent one is that the company that was hired by bp to test the integrity of the well says that they were told to stop before the explosion, before they were finished. so many of these keep mounting. how can you keep responding to this? >> maggie, i understand that people are very concerned and they're trying to find what's wrong. and i can understand that. lots of things are being looked at. as you know, there's many investigations taking place. i know they'll get to the bottom of what caused this and i know they'll figure out what needs to change. but at the moment as you know, what i'm trying to do is figure out how do we get the thing stopped, how do we minimize the impact and how do we fight this thing at sea. >> so as the individual most focussed on the response to this cleanup, what is the best case scenariond and the worst case scenario? >> i think the best case scenario is actually either late
7:11 am
sunday or early monday this top kill procedure works and the flow stops. i know we all want that to occur. i know everyone is behind that. i think the worst case is it takes us until the relief well gets down, which will probably be about early august. but between now and then, we'll try every technique available to to us actually get this flow stopped. >> there are a lot of people who say they're not sure if the environment will survive this. are you confident that it it will, are you confident that bp will survive this? >> it's hard to actually know for certain because i'm not an expert, but i do know there have been larger spills and gulf has survived. the experts tell me that there are many things going for us in this case. it's a large body of water, it's a warm body of water, it has natural oil seeps which the environment deals with, but we'll put a lot of effort into monitoring this and do everything we can to minimize it
7:12 am
impact. but i'm optimistic that the gulf will fully recover. >> and as for your company? >> you know, maggie, there are over almost 100,000 employees for bp, i think about 40,000 if the united states. we're the largest invest authorize in oil and gas in the united states, the biggest producer. i believe we will. we have a great team of people that are very dedicated, their commitment has shown up. i'm very, very proud what have they're actually doing. and i believe we will. i believe -- >> our satellite seems to have frozen up, but we thank doug suttles for his time morning. betty nguyen is at the news desk. good morning. this morning a top obama administration official is paying the price for mistakes that almost led to disaster. he's dennis blair, director of national intelligence. bill plante has more. >> reporter: blair leaves after a series of intelligence
7:13 am
failures and serious doubts about whether the job itself has any real relevance. in a written statement, president obama said of blair during his tenure, has performed admirably and effectively at a time of great challenges. but still blair's resignation was not a surprise. u.s. intelligence failed to identify the terrorist ties of army major nidal hasan who killed or wounded more than 40 people at ft. hood. and then there was the christmas day airline bombing attempt. there were 14 separate int intelligence failures. the agency has been under increased scrutiny in that the ranking member of the senate intelligence committee said of blair's resignation it must have been challenging to be forced on the sidelines by the attorney general but still catch all the
7:14 am
blame for the failings. counterterrorism analyst philip mudd says the post of director of national intelligence needs to enter defined. >> he's leaving because if you look at the position that he was assigned to, it's a very difficult position. you're trying to manage the intelligence community, which is a community of hundreds of thousands of people, when you don't actually own those people. >> reporter: blair was also on the losing side of tur it of battles with cia director leon panetta, but his one white house official put it, his job was to connect all the dots and we only had bits and pieces. betty? h. >> bill plante at the white house. thank you. a follow-up now on deportation fears for a second grader who met the first lady, michelle obama, this week. the 7-year-old girl hinted to mrs. obama that her mother is an illegal immigrant saying she doesn't have papers. so is her mom in trouble? apparently not. homeland security says immigration authorities won't pursue the little girl's family. now to professional cycling's latest doping scandal.
7:15 am
disgraced cyclist floyd landis finally admits he used drugs and he claims lance armstrong did, too. cbs news correspondent ben tracy has more. >> reporter: before crashing during a race in california thursday, lance armstrong fired back at accusations that he used performance enhancing drugs. >> it's all a bunch of [ bleep ]. >> reporter: he questioned the motives of his former teammate. >> it's his word versus ours. we like our word, we like where we stand. >> reporter: after four years of doping denials -- >> did you use any -- gr no. >> reporter: and $2 million trying to clear his name, landis now admits he cheated for years. >> only reason i'm doing any of this is because i want to cheer my conscience. i don't want to lie to anybody, including high mom. >> reporter: in a series of e-mails, the former tour de france champion said he used banned substances. he says his doping began when he joined lance armstrong's team in 2002 and says the seven time
7:16 am
tour winner gave him the blood boosting drug epo. >> only lance armstrong knows whether he has something to hide or not. >> reporter: because armstrong has never tested positive. >> he's bit of a pariah among the racers and among the staff. they feel like he lied about whether he was doping or not. >> reporter: the question is whether or not landis is now telling the truth. ben tracy, cbs news, los angeles. dave price is here now with the first check of the weather. good morning, dave. >> good morning, everyone. let's go to the maps and take a look at this morning's headlines. we've got wet weather, hot weather and then the best weather. let's get to it. first let's talk about the hot weather. look at these numbers. these are not heat indices. they're actual highs. phoenix, in the triple digits. lo laredo at 101.

8:10 am
we want to wrap up our series on this devastating disease with a look at how the warning signs compare to the normal signs of aging. dr. jennifer ash ston is here t help. how you can tell the difference? >> it's completely normal to forget things from time to time almost on a daily basis. really we're talking here about memory loss that interferes with your daily activities, so especially short term. if you're in a conversation, someone says something, you usually lock that into your short term memory. if you find that someone around is you repeating that question in a same conversation, that can be an early sign. >> what if someone forgets the day of the week? >> also very common. usually, though, you can get command of that fact when you think about it. you'll remember it later. but losing track of general dates and seasons, not normal. and, again, that can be something that is subtle about you if you find you're getting it, you want to get evaluated
8:11 am
seern rather than later. >> what about i can't find my car keys or glasses. >> just because you misplaced your car key, again, not something that would typically trigger a thought that you're progressing to alzheimer's. that's part of our daily hectic life. but if you find that you cannot retrace your steps, that's something that leaves the normal realm and goes in to something that could potentially be a sign of alzheimer's. the other thing that we hear again and again is if you find that you're putting those things or the person around you is putting those objects in strange places, so if you find a tooth brush or hair dryer in your car, the keys in the refrigerator, not normal. >> what about a lot of times people with alzheimer's, they struggle with speaking. they can't find the right word or they can't remember -- what is the word for that? >> exactly. that can be very common in the course of a normal day for anyone. we're multitasking. this is a little more subtle.
8:12 am
we're talking about if i'm speaking to you and i don't remember what this is called. and i say to you give me that thing you're holding in your hand or instead of saying something's watch, you call it a wrist clock. that's a little more subtle. so forgetting words in speaking and in written language that can be an early sign. >> are there other early warning signs we haven't talked about that we should know about? >> they're subtle. talking about changes in judgment or withdrawing from work or your social life, those can be things that you might not necessarily notice in yourself, but you might notice it in other people. and the key is see someone early. you want to get evaluated by a doctor, whether a neurologist, a si psychiatrist, internist, and they will start to run through with you key things. when did the symptoms start, what kind of symptoms, and how often. if you have one of these things once in a blue moon, not usually a problem. if you're occurring with increasing frequency that can be a sign.
8:13 am
and are they staying stable or gettings worse. a the sooner evaluated, the sooner they can get intervention, treatments and planning can start for those around them. >> dr. jennifer ashton, all good advice. thank you so much. up next, from miss usa's past to the travolta family's future, we'll take a look back at the week that was. >> announcer: "cbs health watch" sponsored by dannon activia. try the great new taste of active i can't light to help you feel. ce but to eat ce on the run... and to eat whatever happens to be around. heavy greasy food that's hard on my diet... and my digestive system. so i eat activia light every day. activia light, with bifidus regularis is clinically proven to help regulate your digestive system. mmmm. the new taste is better than ever. and with only 70 calories activia light helps make it easier to watch my weight. it helps me feel good and look good too! ♪ activia!

8:33 am
this out and more water fills in. >> do you have a name for this? >> smart toilet. >> let's their for the smart toilet! maggie, can you stop the smart toilet? >> we yes, i think we can. this is 13-year-old matthew huber. and his invention is different from all y'all's. it's called petri bubbles because it makes use of each individual bubble in a very clever way. >> my invention, it can be used it like test for contaminated water or to test for diseases because it you can grow the bacteria inside of it and test for different diseases and it's really helpful for like disaster victims. >> so instead of individual petri dishes, he uses the bubbles which are the perfect size. a great idea. good luck to you. good luck to all of you guys. isn't that awesome?

8:37 am
mother's arms. >> but do i look good in these white pants? yes, you do. there do you ever have to lie in your marriage? >> lie, no. omit, occasionally it doesn't hurt. >> and thing about your character this week, he just really wants to be a normal guy. wants to go to the block party, he wants to leave his old life behind. >> that's it. it's just the idea of having a normal life sounds very good. sometimes i just want to go fishing. sometimes i just want to go for a walk down the street and get a coffee. >> do you ever get to be a normal guy in. >> yeah. occasionally. >> what do you do that's normal? >> i go get coffee. >> another they think you do is you interact with so many regular people on twitter, right? >> yeah. >> i'm in a tweet right now.

8:40 am
because outdoor space is where it's at in the summertime. it's really about the barbeques sometimes with friends, family, but having the space outdoors. if you don't have the space, they don't want to hang out outdoors. so you want it to blur that line. >> because so often we think outdoors and you gee to tyou go furniture store and get a folding chair. >> it's really progressed. taking those elements that you have, the style, and make it inviting and comfortable for your friends. for instance this couch. i have the same sofa at home back up in michigan. it's made from a synthetic fibers, but also a teak frame. so very durable.
8:41 am
>> you're in traverse city, which is way up it there. does this stuff hold up? >> actually, this fabric is an outdoor material, but in the springtime, take the sofa outside, the cushion, they will come in if it rains, but the rest of the summer, the whole thing winter comes about glp there's coffee table, your japanese lanterns. >> this string costs about $25, so very cheap. so if you're not a master electrician, you want to just string some up like this. very inexpensive. but even lamps that are very inexpensi inexpensive. >> i leak this whole idea of taking the living room, moving it outside. people hang out there forever. don't forget the scitronella
