HIGHLIGHT: On day 104 of the Gulf oil spill, news that a key step to seal the well could begin Tuesday as evidence mounts that B.P. used too many chemical dispersants to clean up the Gulf. President Obama may not be welcome on the campaign trail this fall as Democratic candidates fight to win their seats. Worries of drug violence in Mexico could spill over the border to the U.S. as National Guard`s troops get set to beef up border security.

RUSS MITCHELL, CBS NEWS ANCHOR: Tonight on day 104 of the Gulf oil spill, news that a key step to seal the well could begin Tuesday as evidence mounts that B.P. used too many chemical dispersants to clean up the Gulf. I`m Russ Mitchell. Also tonight, campaign concerns. Why President Obama may not be welcome on the campaign trail this fall as Democratic candidates fight to win their seats. Border patrol, worries of drug violence in Mexico could spill over the border to the U.S. as National Guard`s troops get set to beef up border security. And just married, an inside account of the wedding yesterday of Chelsea Clinton and Marc Mezvinsky. And good evening. It is shaping up to be a very important week in the Gulf oil spill. On Tuesday, engineers are expected to launch a so-called static kill, making it easier to plug up the gusher. But there are new concerns tonight about the chemicals used by B.P. to break up the oil. Don Teague has the latest now from Grand Isle, Louisiana. Don, good evening. DON TEAGUE, CBS NEWS CORRESPONDENT: Good evening, Russ. There are lingering questions about the safety of using so much chemical dispersant to break up the oil in the Gulf even as life on some beaches is getting back to normal. (BEGIN VIDEOTAPE) TEAGUE (voice-over): In Pensacola, Florida, crowded beaches for the first time in months, a welcome sight for business owners who say the worst of the oil spill depression may have passed. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: I think we have more tourists. I noticed a lot of people from out of town being here. TEAGUE: The reality for most Gulf beaches is that oil from the B.P. blowout hasn`t reached shore and probably won`t. The massive effort to skim, burn and break down the oil with chemical dispersants proving effective. ED OVERTON, PROFESSOR: Oil, particularly fresh oil globs to itself and dispersants themselves, they break the oil into tiny little droplets and allow the bacteria to degrade it. Page 2 For August 1, 2010, CBS CBS News Transcripts August 1, 2010 Sunday

TEAGUE: Still, there are serious concerns about the possible toxic effect of correxant, the primary dispersant used by B.P. A congressional subcommittee says documents show Coast Guard officials allowed B.P. to use much more dispersant that previously reported, despite an order by the EPA to use it rarely. REP. EDWARD MARKEY (D), MASSACHUSETTS: There has been an unprecedented underwater scientific experiment going on for months, where toxic chemicals have been shot into toxic oil. TEAGUE: But B.P. officials say the company did cut back on dispersant used after the government order and has worked closely with federal agencies since. DOUG SUTTLES, COO, BP: We`ve had a formal process with the unified command on use of dispersants since the very beginning. And that was based on a set of protocols that were agreed. TEAGUE: In hard hit Louisiana where oil is still coming ashore and beaches are barricaded against even more, fishing guide Danny Ray (ph) worries about the long-term effects the dispersants will have on marine life and ultimately his livelihood. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: It`s one of my biggest concerns. Everything that`s happened here on the bottom, only time will tell. (END VIDEOTAPE) TEAGUE: And we have reports this evening that a new wave of oil is actually coming ashore on the beaches here at Grand Isle. I can tell you everyone here will be watching that static kill procedure on Tuesday and hoping it finally kills this well for good. Russ? MITCHELL: Of course, Don Teague in Grand Isle, Louisiana, thank you very much. As election season draws near, there is a surprising announcement from President Obama to his fellow Democrats and it`s advice that some candidates are likely to follow. Sharyl Attkisson has more on that. (BEGIN VIDEOTAPE) BARACK OBAMA, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: And if you do. SHARYL ATTKISSON, CBS NEWS CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): President Obama has taken his fund-raising machine to pivotal races like this one in Nevada where he is campaigning for the Senate`s top Democrat, Harry Reid. But these days, not all Democrats are so eager to embrace the president. With his disapproval numbers now equal to his approval and midterm elections just three months away, some prefer to keep him at arm`s length. One of President Ob- ama`s biggest problems is dissatisfaction with the economy. He acknowledged in an interview with CBS`s Harry Smith, it`s not where he wants it to be. OBAMA: But I also knew this was going to be a bumpy road ahead. And I don`t expect the American people to be satisfied when we`re only half of the way back. ATTKISSON: It is a stark change from two years ago. Back then, a campaign appearance by Barack Obama was considered the ultimate weapon in the Democrats arsenal. Today Republicans are using the president`s face and policies to attack. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: How about the architect of Obama spending? ATTKISSON: President Obama and his staff are said to be well aware that his presence might actually hurt more than it helps. "The New York Times" quotes Mr. Obama as telling vulnerable Democrats, quote, "You may not even want me to come to your district." At least 65 House seats, most held by Democrats, are at risk of changing hands. But House Speaker Nancy Pelosi today insisted she`s confident. REP. NANCY PELOSI (D-CA), SPEAKER: We have a solid plan, messaging and mobilizing the grass roots level and management of our campaigns. And we have a 2-1 advantage moneywise. ATTKISSON: When it comes to raising money, President Obama appears as effective as ever. He`s done 29 fundraisers so far this year, generating at least $51.8 million. Page 3 For August 1, 2010, CBS CBS News Transcripts August 1, 2010 Sunday

SHIRA TOEPLITZ, POLITICO.COM: You know, the president might not be the campaigner in chief anymore, but he is certainly still the fundraiser in chief. (END VIDEOTAPE) ATTKISSON: Today, a White House spokesman told us the president will do more as the election draws closer and will quote, "help as much as he can everywhere he can." Russ? MITCHELL: Sharyl Attkisson at the White House. Thank you very much. Growing concerns over the course of the Afghan war are reflected in recent dramatic covers for both "Time" and "Newsweek". Earlier today, I spoke with the author of the "Newsweek" article. He is Richard Haass, president of the Council on Foreign Relations and the U.S. government`s coordinator for the future of Afghanistan under President George W. Bush. (BEGIN VIDEOTAPE) MITCHELL: Richard, thanks for joining us. We appreciate it. You said in "Newsweek" magazine recently that it`s time to dramatically scale back in Afghanistan. Why? RICHARD HAASS, COUNCIL ON FOREIGN RELATIONS: Well first of all, I`m not sure it is really worth it in the sense that Afghanistan is no longer the unique center of global terrorism like it was at the time of 9/11. Secondly, I certainly don`t think this level of effort is going to succeed. You`ve got a sanctuary in Pakistan. You`ve got a weak central government in Afghanistan. I would narrow the mission, not leave, going after terrorists, using cruise missiles, using drones, using special forces, using covert operations people but not try to remake the society. That is a bridge too far. MITCHELL: It is August 1st. The president has vowed that by July of next year, troops will begin to leave Afghanistan. Is that realistic? HAASS: Well, it`s realistic, but there is leaving and there`s leaving. Are we talking about 1,000 leaving, 10,000, 25,000, 50,000? What really matters is the scale and pace of the withdrawal. What sort of role do we give the residual forces who stay behind? So to say that we are going to begin to leave which is all the president is committed to doesn`t really answer the question. MITCHELL: Is negotiating with the Taliban an option in your mind? HAASS: I think it is. I would certainly try. Why don`t we see if the Taliban might not invite back al Qaeda like they did last time? Maybe they have learned some of their lessons. Maybe they would respect certain red lines, I don`t know. But that`s certainly something we ought to explore and we ought to do it ourselves. We ought not to do this through Pakis- tan or through the Afghan central government. This is something the United States should do directly. MITCHELL: What are the dangers of the U.S. leaving Afghanistan, in your opinion? HAASS: Well again, I don`t want to leave. I want to scale down. MITCHELL: Right. HAASS: But we have to assume that whether we stay or not and whatever numbers we stay or not, some Taliban are going to regain power in parts of the country. And where they regain power, it`s not going to be pretty. But that`s the nature of things in Afghanistan. I don`t believe it`s realistic to turn to 100,000 young American men and women in uniform and say you continue to put your lives on the line forever in order to prevent human rights atrocities in Afghanis- tan. That is simply not something we can sustain. MITCHELL: Richard Haass, president of the Council on Foreign Relations. Thanks a lot. HAASS: Thank you. (END VIDEOTAPE) MITCHELL: And the "CBS Evening News" continues after a break. Page 4 For August 1, 2010, CBS CBS News Transcripts August 1, 2010 Sunday

MITCHELL: National Guard troops began getting into place today for what would eventually be the deployment of an additional 1,200 guardsmen to the U.S.-Mexico border. It comes amid the raging illegal immigration debate and growing concerns about violence in Mexico spilling into this country. Seth Doane has more. (BEGIN VIDEOTAPE) SETH DOANE, CBS NEWS CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): In the vicious battle against drug cartels in Mexico, the last several days brought a few welcome bits of news. Mexican police showed off the two journalists they freed yesterday in a pre-dawn raid. They had been kidnapped by members of a drug cartel. On Thursday, Mexican authorities in Tijuana arrested 62 police officers with alleged links to organized crime and drug cartels, the biggest such roundup in years. And on the same day, a major Mexican drug trafficker was reportedly killed in an army raid. ERIC OLSON, SR. ASSOCIATE, MEXICO INSTITUTE: There`s good news, but the bad news is the violence continues. DOANE: Eric Olson of the Mexico Institute says it`s hardly a turn around. More than 24,000 people have been killed since Mexican President Felipe Calderon began a crackdown on drug cartels in 2006. In the July 15th deadly car bombing at the border city of Ciudad Juarez, one of the most violent places in the world, border the hallmarks of an al Qaeda style attack. OLSON: The cartels seem to be getting more desperate, more violent. DOANE: On Friday, the U.S. government indefinitely closed its consulate in Ciudad Juarez, just across the Rio Grande from El Paso, Texas. P.J. CROWLEY, STATE DEPARTMENT: We are reviewing our security posture at the consulate. There is some threat information that we`ve received that we are evaluating. DOANE: On the U.S. side, border cities remain relatively safe. Still some like Arizona Senator John McCain worry the violence could spill over to the U.S. making it a national security issue. SEN. JOHN MCCAIN (R), ARIZONA: We are very concerned. And those who say that things have improved, really don`t quite understand what is going on on the other side of the border. DOANE: To beef up security along the U.S.-Mexico border, the Obama administration ordered the deployment of Na- tional Guard troops. Some started deploying today. By late September, roughly 1,200 soldiers are expected to be in place to assist federal agents looking for people illegally crossing the border. OLSON: This is an acknowledgment that the border, despite all the fences and the increase in border patrol agents, still is a pretty porous place. (END VIDEOTAPE) DOANE: President Obama is also asking for $600 million to enhance border protection. Now this is not the first time large numbers of National Guard troops have been deployed to the border. President George W. Bush sent 6,000 soldiers there for two years back in 2006. MITCHELL: Seth Doane, thanks a lot. And still ahead on tonight`s "CBS Evening News", another look at Chelsea Clin- ton`s wedding from an insider. MITCHELL: One day after hosting the biggest wedding of the season, you probably know the one we are talking about, things are slowly starting to get back to normal in the town of Rhinebeck, New York. That`s where Elaine Quijano is tonight. Elaine, we are talking about the Chelsea Clinton wedding, correct? ELAINE QUIJANO, CBS NEWS CORRESPONDENT: What`s that, Russ? I`m sorry. MITCHELL: we are talking about the Chelsea Clinton wedding, is that correct? QUIJANO: That`s exactly right. Yeah, it really has been buzzing here in Rhinebeck. And we now, actually, have some of the official photos showing Chelsea Clinton getting married to her long-time beau Marc Mezvinsky. (BEGIN VIDEOTAPE) Page 5 For August 1, 2010, CBS CBS News Transcripts August 1, 2010 Sunday

QUIJANO (voice-over): It was the first look at a married Chelsea Clinton wearing an ivory organza strapless ball gown by designer Vera Wang. The 30-year-old bride was walked down the aisle by her father, the 42nd president. The groom wore a dark suit and in keeping with his Jewish faith, a yarmulke. The ceremony included elements from both families religious tradition, a rabbi and Methodist minister jointly conducting the ceremony. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: How`s the wedding? QUIJANO: Despite the throngs of media digging for details, few were leaked in keeping with the bride`s request. SALLY QUINN, WASHINGTON POST: When you grow up in the public eye like that you don`t really belong to yourself totally. It`s a constant battle. QUIJANO: It`s a battle Chelsea Clinton seems to be winning. The only wedding photos released so far came from the family. This morning, a caravan of Land Rovers and black sedans ferried guests past the security check point to the wedding weekend finale, brunch at the 500 acre Grasmere Estate outside downtown Rhinebeck, where guests were given souvenirs. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: The whole theme of the brunch was the invitation had this on the brunch invitation. It`s just a regular New York coffee cup, really. QUIJANO: And the wedding`s best moment? UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Seeing the bride and you know, groom and how incredibly in love and happy they are. (END VIDEOTAPE) QUIJANO: Now despite rumors of a star-studded event, in the end few celebrities were actually spotted. And now that the Clintons have left town, so too have the crowds hoping to catch a glimpse of them. Russ? MITCHELL: Elaine Quijano in Rhinebeck, New York, thanks a lot. We`ll have more in just a moment. MITCHELL: President Obama left the White House to watch some basketball this afternoon. Mr. Obama took daughter Sasha and a friend to a Washington Mystics WNBA game. Older daughter Malia is away at camp. And that is the CBS EVENING NEWS. Later on CBS, "60 Minutes." Thanks for joining us this Sunday evening. I`m Russ Mitchell, CBS News in New York. Kathleen Couric will be here tomorrow. Good night.

HIGHLIGHT: B.P. says it will try again to insert a mile-long tube into the Gulf oil spill after an unsuccessful attempt late last night. Government troops fire live ammunition at protesters in Bangkok, Thailand, killing more than 20.

JEFF GLOR, CBS NEWS ANCHOR: Tonight, B.P. says it will try again to insert a mile-long tube into its out-of- control Gulf oil spill after an unsuccessful attempt late last night. I`m Jeff Glor. Also tonight, street battles in Bangkok, Thailand. Government troops fire live ammunition at protesters, killing more than 20. Mixed forecast: why some TV weather forecasters are disputing global warming. And Memphis magic: a new Broadway show relives a once-in-a- lifetime jam session by four rock `n` roll legends. (MUSIC) ANNOUNCER: This is the CBS EVENING NEWS with Jeff Glor. GLOR: Good evening, 25 days now after that drilling rig explosion, another new approach by B.P. -- so far with the same old result. Here is the latest from the Gulf tonight: B.P. says it`s trying again this evening to siphon oil to the surface through a mile-long tube. They already tried once last night. Oil washed ashore today for the first time in Mississippi. And the White House is stepping up its criticism of B.P. Our coverage begins with Mark Strassmann in Venice, Louisiana. Mark, good evening to you. MARK STRASSMANN, CBS NEWS CORRESPONDENT: Good evening, Jeff. These deep sea remedies are complicated stuff and a misalignment snag set back today`s operation for hours. But B.P. got past it and work is under way on the sea floor. (BEGIN VIDEOTAPE) Page 7 For May 15, 2010, CBS CBS News Transcripts May 15, 2010 Saturday

STRASSMANN (voice-over): By the morning, B.P. hopes its latest deep sea fix is in place -- a narrow tube threaded into a mile down to the sea floor and inserted into gushing pipeline. That tube would act like a straw, sucking leaking oil to a surface ship. But B.P.`s trying to keep expectations in check. DOUG SUTTLES, B.P. EXPLORATION AND PRODUCTION: This doesn`t stop the flow but it contains the flow. We hope to have that tool inserted by some time late tonight. STRASSMANN: In Port Fourchon, southwest of New Orleans, cleanup crews scraped beaches and hauled away 300 trash bags filled with tar balls that had washed ashore. CHETT CHIASSON, RESIDENT, LAFOURCHE PARISH, L.A.: It kind of gave you a pit in your stomach -- you know, kind of -- oh, Lord, here we go. STRASSMAN (on camera): As more oil spills on to the coast, more people here grow more frustrated, more angry. They`re afraid waves of oil coming to shore could kill their livelihoods. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: B.P. did this. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: They destroyed us. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: They destroyed us. STRASSMAN (voice-over): With a fishing ban in place, many local fishermen are out of the water and out of patience, hoping B.P. will hire them for cleanup work, but frustrated by B.P.`s red tape. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: They want us to jump through hoops like freaking puppy dogs. We`re not puppy dogs. We are commercial fishermen. STRASSMANN: In southern Louisiana, life changed April 20th when the Deepwater Horizon exploded and its crew scrambled for their lives. MICHAEL WILLIASM, FMR. CHIEF ELECTRIC TECH, DEEPWATER HORIZON: I heard this awful hissing noise, this shhhhh (ph). STRASSMANN: Michael Williams was the Horizon`s chief electronics technician and had to jump from the rig into the water to save his life. He said in this interview to air tomorrow night on "60 MINUTES." WILLIAMS: I remember closing my eyes and saying a prayer, and asking God to tell my wife and little girl that daddy did everything he could, and if I survive this, it`s for a reason. STRASSMANN: Now, many people along Louisiana`s coast worry about their community survival. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: I like the way we live here, and I hope it doesn`t have to change. (END VIDEOTAPE) STRASSMANN: Now, as a fix, that tube is an experiment, never tried before in waters this deep. But if it works, B.P. would capture oil on the sea floor for the very first time -- Jeff. GLOR: Mark Strassmann leading our coverage in Louisiana tonight -- Mark, thank you very much. The White House today stepped up its effort to hold the oil industry at fault for this spill. Our senior White House correspondent, Bill Plante, joins us with that story this evening. Bill, good evening to you. BILL PLANTE, CBS NEWS SR. WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT: Good evening, Jeff. It didn`t take long after the blowout for the White House to start a gusher of its own -- a torrent of updates about everything it was doing to stay on top of the disaster. But as the crisis has dragged on, the White House has shifted into attack mode. (BEGIN VIDEOTAPE) Page 8 For May 15, 2010, CBS CBS News Transcripts May 15, 2010 Saturday

PLANTE (voice-over): Today, the administration made public a letter to B.P.`s chief executive from the secretaries of interior and homeland security. It demands that the company clarify the commitment it has already made to paying the full cost of cleanup and damages. The letter says the spill may prove to be one of the most devastating environmental disasters this nation has effort faced, and requests immediate public clarification of B.P.`s true intentions. At issue -- an existing law which caps oil spill damages at $75 million per incident. The letter comes a day after the president hammered oil executives for passing the buck on responsibility during congressional hearings. BARACK OBAMA, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: It is pretty clear that the system failed and it failed badly. For that, there`s enough responsibility to go around. And all parties should be willing to accept it. PLANTE: And the longer the underwater well continues to spew into the Gulf, the harder the White House works to avoid any piece of the blame -- well aware of the price of thing the Bush administration paid for its handling of Hurri- cane Katrina. JONATHAN MARTIN, POLITICO.COM: From a P.R. standpoint, this White House recognizes they`ve got to be more aggressive and got to be seen by the public as holding B.P. accountable. (END VIDEOTAPE) PLANTE: Two U.S. executives of B.P. have already said that the company will ignore the $75 million cap and pay all costs and claims. But some members of Congress feel that they`ve carefully qualified those remarks. So, today`s letter, along with the president`s angry comment of yesterday, are an attempt to hold B.P. to its word -- Jeff. GLOR: Bill Plante tonight at the White House -- Bill, thank you. Overseas this evening, there is open warfare on the streets of Bangkok, Thailand, following more violent clashes between the Thai government and protesters. More than 20 are dead. The U.S. embassy in Bangkok is evacuating staff family members who wish to leave and the State Department has issued a travel warning. Celia Hatton has more. (BEGIN VIDEOTAPE) CELIA HATTON, CBS NEWS CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): After three days of fighting between government troops and red-shirted protesters, more than 20 people have been killed, scores wounded, and the streets of Thailand`s capital, Bangkok, resemble a battlefield. The antigovernment protesters, who call themselves the Red Shirts, have burned tires, fired slingshots, and tossed Molo- tov cocktails to defend their encampment from the troops who were using tear gas, rubber bullets and live ammunition as they try to seal off the protesters` camp. The situation escalated Thursday after a rogue army general who was advising the protesters was shot in the head, pre- sumably by government snipers. He`s in critical condition, reportedly near death. It`s some of the worst violence in nearly two months of unrest. The Red Shirts, mostly poor, rural people, want the return of their former leader, Thaksin Shinawatra, who was ousted four years ago in a coup. The government has offered a peace deal agreeing to elections in November, but this latest outbreak of violence puts that in doubt as the government says it will no longer negotiate with the Red Shirts. The number of protesters is shrinking from a peak of 10,000 to just a few thousand now as food and water supplies dwindle. Many who have stayed are vowing to sacrifice their lives. Current Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva claims he`s trying to end the standoff with minimum bloodshed -- though with the violence only escalating, that goal`s already long gone. Celia Hatton, CBS News, Beijing. (END VIDEOTAPE) Page 9 For May 15, 2010, CBS CBS News Transcripts May 15, 2010 Saturday

GLOR: For a firsthand account was what`s happening on the ground in Thailand, I spoke with "New York Times" reporter Thomas Fuller. He was interviewing the rogue general on Thursday night, standing only two feet away from him when those sniper shots were fired. (BEGIN VIDEOTAPE) THOMAS FULLER, REPORTER, NEW YORK TIMES (via telephone): I was talking with him alone with my inter- preter, and we were firing questions at him, and there was a loud blast. He dropped to the ground, looking pretty life- less, and he was carried away by his people. And at this point, he`s-- I think on death`s door. GLOR: Are the soldiers tonight using live fire on the protesters? FULLER: Yes, they are. And the military has said as much. They said they`re using it in self-defense. GLOR: How bad is the situation there tonight? FULLER: It`s a very, very eerie night. The public lights have been turned off. Bangkok usually kind of twinkles at night and it`s quite dark and still. But then every few minutes, there will be a blast, there will be gunfire. From my window here I can see flashes. Bangkok has not been this racked by violence in a long time, if ever. GLOR: Is it a stretch to call this a civil war right now or would you say the country is much closer to civil war? FULLER: There`s a lot more of Thailand that is stable. I think it`s probably premature. No one would say we`re there yet. But are we close? I`ll leave that up to the experts. (END VIDEOTAPE) GLOR: That was reporter Thomas Fuller of the "New York Times" in Bangkok, Thailand. In California tonight, legislators and millions of residents are still reeling, following the massive budget cuts announced by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger on Friday. He is hoping to close a $19 billion shortfall. Here`s Bill Whitaker. (BEGIN VIDEOTAPE) UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: This is the car I used to sleep in. BILL WHITAKER, CBS NEWS CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): Stephanie Grotewold (ph) wound up homeless after she was laid off from her customer service job three years ago. Then she got pregnant and grew desperate to find work. STEPHANIE GROTEWOLD (ph), UNEMPLOYED: There was nothing. Nowhere anywhere was hiring. WHITAKER: Life changed a few months ago when California`s Welfare to Work Program helped her finds a place to live and a marketing job with a construction firm. GROTEWOLD: It helps you to work because, I mean, just sitting at home collecting welfare, you`re not going anywhere. WHITAKER: But on Friday, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger called for eliminating welfare to work and drastically reducing other social services -- a last-ditch effort to solve California`s nearly $20 billion budget deficit. GOV. ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER (R), CALIFORNIA: It is painful to make those cuts, but we`re forced to do it. WHITAKER: The Welfare to Work Program serves more than 1 million people, cutting it would save more than $1 billion. The state`s in-home health care program would be slashed by a third, saving another $637 million. Nearly all state-subsidized childcare would be eliminated. SCHWARZENEGGER: We do not have to be in the position we are in today if we would have fixed the broken system. WHITAKER: It`s like a horror show rerun for the actor-turned- governor. He`s faced massive budget shortfalls the last three years. Last year, he cut some spending and raised some taxes to close the gap. But this year, he`s joining state Re- publicans and refusing to raise taxes. Democrats accuse him of balancing the budget on the backs of the needy. Page 10 For May 15, 2010, CBS CBS News Transcripts May 15, 2010 Saturday

(on camera): But in recession-wracked California, income tax revenue came up $3 billion short this year. An infusion of federal funds fell short, too -- only $3 billion instead of the almost $7billion the state expected. (voice-over): Policy experts say the governor is sending Washington a not-too-subtle message. DANIEL MITCHELL, PROF. EMERITUS OF PUBLIC POLICY AND MANAGEMENT, UCLA: I can`t make the numbers add up unless I make really drastic cuts in various programs that that you folks in Washington would not like to see cut. What are you going to do to help me? WHITAKER: Stephanie hates to think what would happen if she loses welfare to work. GROTEWOLD: I go back to exactly how I was probably, back on the streets. WHITAKER: For her, this budget crisis is personal, the difference between being hopeful or homeless once again. Bill Whitaker, CBS News, Los Angeles. (END VIDEOTAPE) GLOR: Still ahead on tonight`s CBS EVENING NEWS, you trust his weather forecasting. Can you trust what he believes about global warming? GLOR: Most Americans get their forecasts from TV weathermen and viewers usually trust they`re getting the right information. But there`s a big split among forecasters right now, not about the next rain shower, but over whether greenhouse gases are causing global warming. Elaine Quijano has more tonight. (BEGIN VIDEOTAPE) DAN SATTERFIELD, CHIEF METEOROLOGIST, WHNT-TV: We`re in for another warm day today. ELAINE QUIJANO, CBS NEWS CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): TV weatherman Dan Satterfield finds himself in the middle of the heated debate over man`s role in global climate change. SATTERFIELD: It used to be a mountain of evidence. It`s now a mountain range of evidence. QUIJANO: For a long time, Satterfield, the chief meteorologist at CBS affiliate WHNT in Huntsville, Alabama, was skeptical that human activity was accelerating climate change until he studied the data. SATTERFIELD: You put greenhouse gases into an atmosphere, the planet`s going to get warmer. That`s just done and said. It`s a fact. QUIJANO: Satterfield`s beliefs were bolstered by his own travel to the Arctic. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Welcome to the North Pole. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I feel like I`m there, I`ll tell you. QUIJANO: In 2007, he saw firsthand the glaciers that scientists say are shrinking dramatically. SATTERFIELD: That`s the coast of Greenland behind me. It`s one of the only two ice caps left on Earth. QUIJANO: He returned convinced of his position, but a recent survey shows that among his fellow weathercasters, his view is in the minority. (on camera): The survey by George Mason University and the University of Texas found that while more than half of TV weathercasters believe global warming is happening, less than a third say it is caused mostly by manmade carbon emissions. JOHN COLEMAN, WEATHERCASTER, KUSI-TV: And here are today`s high temperatures. QUIJANO (voice-over): San Diego weathercaster and Weather Channel cofounder John Coleman is one of the more prominent doubters. COLEMAN: Everything they do has been based on the carbon dioxide is a pollutant. Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas. So if that`s invalid-- which it is, and I know it is-- then all of the others falls by the wayside. Page 11 For May 15, 2010, CBS CBS News Transcripts May 15, 2010 Saturday

QUIJANO: The doubters are also strong right in Satterfield`s hometown of Huntsville. ROY SPENCER, UNIVERSITY OF ALABAMA-HUNTSVILLE: It`s my view most of global warming has been natural. QUIJANO: Former NASA climate scientist, Roy Spencer, admits his view is out of the scientific mainstream. But Spencer argues naturally occurring weather patterns leading to massive cloud changes are causing climate change. SPENCER: Nature is perfectly capable of producing its own global warming or global cooling. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Speaking about climate change -- QUIJANO: In an effort to bridge the gap, climatologists and meteorologists gathered in Miami today for a conference organized by Yale University. BEN SANTER, LAWRENCE LIVERMORE NATIONAL LABORATORY: Most of the warming observed over the last 50 years is attributable to human activities. QUIJANO: Dan Satterfield was there. SATTERFIELD: I try to figure out what the weather is going to do for the next three to five, seven days, and that isn`t easy. Your natural thing to think is: how can they possibly tell me what the weather is going to do in 100 years. QUIJANO: It may take 100 years to see who`s right. Elaine Quijano, CBS News, New York. (END VIDEOTAPE) GLOR: Overseas tonight: ash from that volcano in Iceland is again threatening air travel. Britain and Ireland both say they might have to close their airports tomorrow and Germany may close its airspace on Monday. We`ll be right back. GLOR: The 9-year-old who is the only survival of this week`s plane crash in Libya was flown home to the Netherlands today and taken to a hospital. Ruben van Assouw`s parents and brother died in a crash along with the 100 others. Sixteen-year-old Australian Jessica Watson is now the youngest person ever to sail around the world nonstop, solo, and unassisted. She sailed in a Sydney harbor today after a seven-month journey. Jessica says her next challenge is to get her driver`s license. For the 32nd straight year, horseracing will have no Triple Crown winner. In a thrilling finish today, Lookin at Lucky won today`s Preakness, the jewel in the crown. Kentucky Derby winner Super Saver faded and finished eight. Next is the Belmont Stakes in three weeks. Still ahead on tonight`s CBS EVENING NEWS: Rock and roll`s Million Dollar Quartet. One incredible jam session recreated on Broadway. GLOR: It was the stuff of legends. Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis and Carl Perkins jamming together on a December day in 1956. Now, that famous afternoon is getting attention all over again through a Tony-nominated play on Broadway. And that is the focus of tonight`s "Weekend Journal": four legends remaking music 54 years ago -- still influencing what we hear today. (BEGIN VIDEOTAPE) GLOR (voice-over): It maybe the most famous jam session in music history -- Presley, Cash, Lewis and Perkins at Sun Studios in Memphis, a night captured on film by one single photo, and later, audio recordings. But the lone surviving member of the Million Dollar Quartet, the whole thing seemed like an accident. JERRY LEE LEWIS, ENTERTAINER: Carl Perkins was hanging out. Johnny Cash was hanging out. I couldn`t figure out what they were doing hanging out then, and what (INAUDIBLE) Elvis. GLOR: The music they made is now on Broadway, reinforcing the impact all four had, blending country, rhythm and blues, and gospel and helping to invent rock and roll.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: All the music before it and since it is really (AUDIO BREAK) built these guys did back in the mid-`50s COLIN ESCOTT, CO-AUTHOR, MILLION DOLLAR QUARTER: The Beatles took that a little further, punk rock took it a little further, thrash crunch took it further. But the beats of wildness in pop music already right here. GLOR: For Levi Kreis who plays the 21-year-old newcomer, Jerry Lee Lewis, the physical challenge of reenacting Lewis` explosive performances led to two torn knee ligaments. (MUSIC) LEVI KREIS, ACTOR, MILLION DOLLAR QUARTER: I have given two ligaments (ph) to this production. I have had an ACL surgery, doing a bolt over the piano one time, and another ACL surgery on the right knee. GLOR: Musically, he was in familiar territory. Growing up in tiny Oliver Springs, Tennessee, Kreis listened to his mom`s old 45s. KREIS: Besides gospel music, we were allowed to listen to Jerry Lee, Brenda Lee and Elvis Presley. (MUSIC) GLOR: All four singers had learned gospel music in their youth. Lewis remembers how he and Presley bonded on spiri- tuals. LEWIS: I can hit one. He`s go right in. (INAUDIBLE) is like I need. (INAUDIBLE) GLOR: Though the men`s religious roots often left them conflicted. ESCOTT: They truly believed that they were going against the will of God making this music, but we`re just so inexor- ably drawn to it that they knew nothing else to do. KREIS: Some might have said it was the devil`s music. I think it`s God coming right at them. GLOR: Despite controversial marriages, tax problems, and health issues, after a life of very hard living, at 74 years old, Jerry Lee Lewis is still performing. LEWIS: Absolutely, I would look (ph) at the past. I look to the future. KREIS: When you see him up there still pounding the keyboard, I`m still 8 years old and in awe. (MUSIC) (END VIDEOTAPE) GLOR: That is the CBS EVENING NEWS tonight. Russ Mitchell will be here tomorrow night. I`m Jeff Glor, CBS News, in New York -- good night.

HIGHLIGHT: On day 89 of the Gulf oil spill, the newest cap appears to be holding after its 48-hour test, with no sign it`s triggering new leaks. Another wave of broiling heat grips much of the country. President Obama and his family are on vacation in Bar Harbor, Maine.

JEFF GLOR, HOST: Tonight: So far, so good. On day 89 of the spill, the newest cap appears to be holding after its 48- hour test, with no sign it`s triggering new leaks. I`m Jeff Glor. Also tonight: Sizzling summer. Another wave of broiling heat grips much of the country. When will it end? Access denied: The international passport dispute that`s preventing one nation from competing overseas. And, meet the Beatles. She tracked them down when she was just 15. Now, her famous photos are up for auction. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) SUE BAKER, BEATLES FAN: Then I took a camera, a terrible old camera it was, just to prove that I`d, you know, seen the Beatles. (END VIDEO CLIP) (MUSIC) ANNOUNCER: This is the CBS EVENING NEWS with Jeff Glor. GLOR: And good evening. There is optimism tonight, but no one is declaring victory. The Gulf oil spill has entered a third day with no fresh oil flowing from the ocean bottom. On day 89 now, here is the latest tonight: the test of BP`s latest well cap will be extended for another 24 hours. Pressure readings are slowly rising, suggesting there are no leaks, and that huge A Whale oil skimming ship -- it turns out it`s too big for the job. Kelly Cobiella is in Grand Isle, Louisiana, tonight. Hey, Kelly. KELLY COBIELLA, CBS NEWS CORRESPONDENT: Jeff, good evening. Page 14 For July 17, 2010, CBS CBS News Transcripts July 17, 2010 Saturday

The government`s man in charge says this test will end eventually and some oil will flow into the Gulf again. But for now, they`re content to wait, test and watch. (BEGIN VIDEOTAPE) COBIELLA (voice-over): A mile undersea, BP`s runaway well is still quiet, except for this: bubbles coming from a valve around a pipe. BP says it`s normal to see bubbles on this part of a well, but they`re testing them just in case. KENT WELLS, BP SENIOR V.P.: We`re going to go down and take a sample and make sure that`s not any gas from deeper down. COBIELLA: Engineers have been looking for leaks since Thursday. A leak would explain why the well pressure is on the low side. So far, there`s no sign of one. Another explanation: so much oil already escaped that the reservoir is low so the pressure is low. BP says the data they`re seeing now, pressure just over 6,700 pounds per square inch and rising very slowly -- 2 PSI an hour -- seems to back up that model. WELLS: At this point there`s no evidence we don`t have integrity. The fact that the pressure is continuing to rise is giving us more and more confidence. COBIELLA: They`ll keep watching the well for another 24 hours. Eventually, they will open the valves again to collect and burn oil at the surface, though they haven`t said when. Some oil will flow into the sea, at least for a few hours. As much as 219 million gallons of oil have spilled already. The Coast Guard says the super skimmer A Whale could have helped if it had arrived earlier. REAR ADM. PAUL ZUKUNFT, FEDERAL ON SCENE COORDINATOR: This type of an oil spill which is very dispersed in this camouflage pattern does require maneuverability to attack it. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I`m in the losing my own fish. COBIELLA: In parts of the Gulf, some things seem to be returning to normal. Some beaches are clean. Recreational and sport fishermen are coming back. (on camera): This water is open to fishing now, giving people hope that the worst may be over. But not far away, old booms and a soiled marsh are constant reminders there`s a long fight ahead. (voice-over): Even so, the customers are starting to call and the fish are biting. TOMMY FAVALORO, RECREATIONAL FISHERMAN: We`ll clean it all up. You know, we`ll be all right here. But it`s a shame, you know, it`s a shame it took so long. (END VIDEOTAPE) COBIELLA: Of course, it`s not over -- certainly not for the commercial fishermen. Thirty-five percent of the Gulf of Mexico, nearly 84,000 square miles, is still closed to fishing -- Jeff. GLOR: Wow. All right. Kelly Cobiella on Grand Isle tonight -- Kelly, thank you very much. Even by mid-July standards, it is very, very hot across most of the country this weekend. And that continues a pattern that saw the hottest first six months of a year on record. Elaine Quijano is in the sun tracking the temperatures in sunny Central Park -- Elaine. ELAINE QUIJANO, CBS NEWS CORRESPONDENT: Hello to you, Jeff. Well, as you can see behind me, New Yorkers today have flocked to Central Park as people from coast to coast searched for relief from the excessive heat. (BEGIN VIDEOTAPE) QUIJANO (voice-over): Across the country, cities roasted under scorching temperatures. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: It`s unbelievably hot. I`m overheated. QUIJANO: Temperatures climbed well above 90 degrees from Phoenix to Philadelphia. Factor in the humidity, and it felt like the 100s in much of the country. Page 15 For July 17, 2010, CBS CBS News Transcripts July 17, 2010 Saturday

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Get your money ready, guys. QUIJANO: That follows a first half of the year, which was the warmest ever on record. This weekend, five people were treated for heat exhaustion at a Special Olympics event in Lincoln, Nebraska. In Los Angeles, firefighters battled flames and heat at a scrap yard fire. In Arizona, rescue workers braved triple-digit temperatures as they searched for hikers. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Nice and slow, nice and slow. QUIJANO: In Philadelphia, ultra marathoners pushed through punishing heat, determined to break a record of running 146 miles in 24 hours. High temperatures combined with a lack of rain in some areas means some farmers have faced less-than-ideal growing conditions. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: The ground was like powdered sugar when you walked on it, it`s brown powdered sugar. I don`t think it`s been worse than this. 1980, I think, `80,`81, we had a drought, but it wasn`t like this. QUIJANO: The dry restrictions have led to water restrictions in parts of California, Massachusetts and New York. In this New York City park, the water was turned off. But Amber Decker`s (ph) 4-year-old son Sammy didn`t seem to mind. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Kids make the best of any situation, don`t they? QUIJANO: And for farmer Jim Van Hooten (ph), there are worse things that high heat. JIM VAN HOOTEN (ph), FARMER: Mother Nature is cruel. But if she`d be only cruel one in a guy`s life, he`s pretty lucky. (END VIDEOTAPE) QUIJANO: Now, experts say all of this warm weather does have a bright side. Meteorologists are calling for an endless summer, meaning they think much of the country will enjoy above-normal temperatures through October, possibly into November -- Jeff. GLOR: All right. Elaine Quijano, from New York tonight -- Elaine, thank you very much. Temperatures only reached the mid-80s today in Bar Harbor, Maine, where President Obama and his family are on vacation. Our chief White House correspondent, Chip Reid, is there, as well. Chip, good evening to you. CHIP REID, CBS NEWS CHIEF WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT: Well, good evening, Jeff. You know, presidential vacations have a long history of generating criticism, and this one is no different. (BEGIN VIDEOTAPE) REID (voice-over): For the Obama family, vacation means non-stop activity. (AUDIO BREAK) two days on the Maine coast, they`ve been seen touring a lighthouse, taking in scenery from a mountaintop, boating in the harbor, going for a hike, and getting ice cream. BARACK OBAMA, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: This one is terrific. REID: Off camera, they`ve also gone biking, swimming and played tennis. But whether they`re in public view or not, presidential vacations are always under a microscope. The first President Bush was criticized over his passion for fast, gas-guzzling boats; President Clinton about his hob- nobbing with wealthy friends on Martha`s Vineyard. Earlier this week, First Lady Michelle Obama raised questions when she urged vacationers to come to the Gulf. MICHELLE OBAMA, U.S. FIRST LADY: One of the best ways that fellow Americans can help is to come on down here and spend some money. Page 16 For July 17, 2010, CBS CBS News Transcripts July 17, 2010 Saturday

(CHEERING) REID: Some Republicans say the Obamas should vacation there instead of wealthy New England resorts like Bar Har- bor and later this summer, Martha`s Vineyard. The White House says the president plans to visit the Gulf soon, but there are no plans for a family vacation there. They chose Bar Harbor, officials say, because of its proximity to Acadia National Park, continuing a family tradition that includes last summer`s trip to Yellowstone. And whatever criticism there may be of the president`s vacation choices, he`s spent 33 days on vacation in his first 18 months. His predecessor, George W. Bush, spent 96 in the same period. Here in Bar Harbor, there`s hardly a whiff of resentment. DR. ROBERT COX, BAR HARBOR TOURIST: He needs time off. We all need time off. PAT DONAHUE, BAR HARBOR TOURIST: I think he`s entitled to it, and he`ll be refreshed and get back on the program. I`m sure it`s not far from his mind even now. (END VIDEOTAPE) REID: Now, that is certainly true. In fact, since the president`s been here, even though he`s technically on vacation, he`s received numerous briefings on everything from the economy to national security to the oil spill -- Jeff. GLOR: Chip Reid in Bar Harbor -- Chip, not a bad background there. Thank you very much. In California tonight, one leading poll shows the candidates in the governor`s race there between wealthy newcomer Meg Whitman and veteran politician Jerry Brown are neck and neck. But whoever wins there may wind up wondering why they wanted that job in the first place -- as we hear from Bill Whitaker. (BEGIN VIDEOTAPE) ANNOUNCER: The Jerry Brown story -- BILL WHITAKER, CBS NEWS CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): Turn on any TV in California -- ANNOUNCER: Forty years in politics, and failure has followed him everywhere. WHITAKER: -- and you`ll see the two leading candidates for governor slugging it out. ANNOUNCER: For decades, she didn`t follow the issues, couldn`t spare a moment to vote. WHITAKER: California`s next governor could be Republican billionaire and former eBay CEO, Meg Whitman, or former two-term Democratic governor and lifelong politician, Jerry Brown. But the question on many voters` minds is: why would anyone want the job? UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I couldn`t do it. I wouldn`t want to do it. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: It`s so much work. WHITAKER: Just check out the to-do list for California`s next governor. First and foremost: fix unemployment. The state`s unemployment rate is a whopping 12.3 percent -- well above the national average of 9.5 percent. Next: shrink the deficit. California`s budget deficit is $19 billion and counting. Social programs are at risk and taxes could be raised yet again. (on camera): Add to that list: failing schools, overcrowded prisons, massive foreclosures. And once again, you have to wonder: who would want to be governor of California. JACK PITNEY, POLITICAL SCIENCE PROFESSOR: The only person who would want this job is a person with a very large ego. WHITAKER (voice-over): Political science professor Jack Pitney says, a super inflated ego does not guarantee success. Page 17 For July 17, 2010, CBS CBS News Transcripts July 17, 2010 Saturday

PITNEY: Nobody on the planet has more self-confidence than Arnold Schwarzenegger, and yet, he has run into a great deal of difficulty and has had a lot of disappointments as governor. WHITAKER: "Los Angeles Times" political editor, Cathleen Decker, says it`s no surprise why both candidates are in the race. CATHLEEN DECKER, LOS ANGELES TIMES: Successful people like a challenge, and that`s what drives a lot of them. WHITAKER: They also have access to large amounts of money. DECKER: It costs an awful lot of money to reach 38 million people. So, you have to have tens of millions of dollars at your disposal. WHITAKER: The job of governor of California, only those with loads of cash and confidence need apply. Bill Whitaker, CBS News, Los Angeles. (END VIDEOTAPE) GLOR: Oscar-winning film director, Roman Polanski, was seen in public today for the first time in nine months. Po- lanski was at a Swiss jazz festival after being freed from house arrest last Monday. Swiss officials this week refused to deport him to the U.S. where he`s wanted for a 1977 child sex case. Still ahead on tonight`s CBS EVENING NEWS: the military changes tactics in its fight against suicide. GLOR: Officials in Afghanistan today reported the deaths of five NATO soldiers, including two Americans -- one killed by a roadside bomb in eastern Afghanistan, the other one in the south. A record 60 Americans were killed in Afg- hanistan last month. And the military is also grappling with an equally devastating problem, suicides by service members. Here`s David Martin. (BEGIN VIDEOTAPE) DAVID MARTIN, CBS NEWS CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): June was not only the worst month ever for Ameri- can combat deaths in Afghanistan. It was the worst month ever for suicides in the Army. A total of 32 soldiers, both active duty and reserve, took their own lives in those 30 days. So far this year, 145 soldiers have committed suicide compared with 130 during first six months of last year, which at the time was the worst on record. In an attempt to reverse the trend, the Army released a suicide prevention video in which Specialist Joseph Sanders, distraught over the breakup of his marriage, described how he tried to kill himself. SPEC. JOSEPH SANDERS, U.S. ARMY: I put my rifle up to my chin, put it on semi and pulled the trigger. MARTIN: He was saved by a buddy who had spotted the warning signs. SANDERS: He says, "Yes, I took your firing pin, I took it last night." He says, "You were worrying me." MARTIN: The new video replaces this earlier attempt at suicide prevention using actors which Army officials now admit soldiers viewed as a joke. The Army hopes hearing real soldiers talk about their close encounters with suicide will help remove the stigma of admitting to mental problems. UNIDENTIFIED SOLDIER: I laid on the floor of my bedroom while my wife pleaded with me not to take my life. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: If you do this, who benefits? MARTIN: Not all the soldiers who committed suicide in June had served in Iraq or Afghanistan. But there is no doubt it is the stress of nine years of war which has driven the Army`s suicide rate above the national average. Sergeant Coleman Bean had done two tours in Iraq. LINDA BEAN, MOTEHR OF SGT. COLEMAN BEAN: I`m also grateful that he came home in one piece, that I was willing to say that drinking too much was blowing off a little bit of steam. MARTIN: Until the day in 2008, he killed himself. Page 18 For July 17, 2010, CBS CBS News Transcripts July 17, 2010 Saturday

For his mother Linda, the latest suicide numbers confirm the tragic lessons she learned: For all the efforts the Army is making to prevent suicide, soldiers need more help than they`re getting. BEAN: We are going to continue to lose young men and young women and daughters and sons -- and I think it`s a damn shame. MARTIN (on camera): Like the wars themselves, Army suicides seem like a problem with no end in sight. David Martin, CBS News, the Pentagon. (END VIDEOTAPE) GLOR: The Supreme Court gave final approval today for the U.S. to return two detainees at Guantanamo Bay to Alge- ria against their will. The two say they fear being tortured at home. The U.S. says they`ve been assured by Algeria the men will not be abused. Just ahead on tonight`s CBS EVENING NEWS: Going nowhere. The passport impasse keeping lacrosse teams here at home. GLOR: The World Lacrosse Championships are currently underway in Britain minus the North American team that is one of the best in the world. Their story is the focus of tonight`s "Weekend Journal": Age-old principles of pride and sovereignty colliding with modern-day security demands. (BEGIN VIDEOTAPE) UNIDENTIFIED MALE: One, two, three! GLOR (voice-over): They are the pride of a nation: 23 lacrosse players representing the Iroquois Confederacy, a council of six Native American tribes living in Upstate New York and Canada -- 125,000 people in all who consider themselves a nation apart from the United States. With a host of former collegiate stars, including Syracuse`s Sid Smith, the Iro- quois Nationals are the number-four ranked team in the world. They were supposed to be playing right now in the World Lacrosse Championships in Manchester, England, against 30 other countries, including the U.S., England and Canada. SPENCER LYONS, IROQUOIS NATIONALS GOALIE: We`re trying to stay positive, trying to stay as positive as we can and just stay focused. GLOR: But last week, both the U.S. and the U.K. said they wouldn`t honor these Iroquois-issued passports used by the tribe since the mid-1970s because they didn`t meet new post-9/11 security standards. PERCY ABRAMS, EXEC. DIR., IROQUOIS NATIONALS: We`ve been traveling on this for 30 years. GLOR: The State Department offered to expedite U.S. passport. But the team`s executive director and players said, no, calling it an affront to their national heritage. ABRAMS: It`s matter of national identity at this point. We`re traveling as the Iroquois Nationals. GLOR: Hopes were temporarily raised when Secretary of State Hillary Clinton personally intervened on Thursday and issued a one-time travel waiver. But officials in Britain rejected the compromise and the Nationals were left in limbo. The closest they got to real competition was this scrimmage on Long Islands. LYONS: We`re excited to be on the field finally. GLOR: All of this highlights a still simmering standoff between the United States and more than 500 native tribes over I.D. documents. Many have issued their own for decades that are no longer valid. TONYA FRICHNER, UN REP. FOR NORTH AMERICAN INDIANS: So, this will be an ongoing discussion. GLOR (on camera): And right now, there is no end to it? FRICHNER: No, no. There is no end to it. So, it will continue:. GLOR (voice-over): After forfeiting two games and getting turned down again today by the U.K., the Nationals are officially heading home. Page 19 For July 17, 2010, CBS CBS News Transcripts July 17, 2010 Saturday

S.L. PRICE, SR. WRITER, SPORTS ILLUSTRATED: They believe that lacrosse is their game, they invented it, and it`s their gift to the world. GLOR: Scott Price of "Sports Illustrated" says, even though they didn`t play, they still won. PRICE: Mission accomplished for the Iroquois in one sense. They wanted to show the world we`re still here. And that was the point of the Iroquois Nationals in the first place. (END VIDEOTAPE) GLOR: The Iroquois Nationals are now heading home, but they hope to have their passports issues resolved in time for the World Indoor Lacrosse Championships in the Czech Republic next year. Still ahead on tonight`s CBS EVENING NEWS: She really did meet the Beatles, and she has the pictures to prove it. GLOR: Finally tonight, it probably wouldn`t happen with today`s security-conscious rock stars, but things were different back when a British band called the Beatles were just getting their start. Here`s Mark Phillips. (BEGIN VIDEOTAPE) (MUSIC) MARK PHILLIPS, CBS NEWS CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): The Beatles in the mid-`60s at the height of their popularity. And Beatle maniacs at the height of their enthusiasm. One of them may now be about to cash in from her infatuation. Sue Baker was 15 at the time, and she`s about to auction off her remarkable set of pictures of her and the Beatles that she took through pure adolescent nerve. SUE BAKER, BEATLES FAN: I was reading in I think it was "Beatles Monthly," and it mentioned Paul had bought this house in London and it was Georgian and had a black electric gate and an old-fashioned lamp stand in the ground. PHILLIPS: So, not being able to afford to see them perform, Sue and a friend decided to try to visit them where they lived. A little detective work and -- BAKER: There we were in front of this house that Paul McCartney lived in. We were just gobsmacked. PHILLIPS: Which is British for "stunned." Their gobs were smacked even more when he came out. BAKER: And he just opened the gate and came and talked to us. And we were gobsmacked, absolutely gobsmacked. We couldn`t believe it. PHILLIPS: Couldn`t believe it again when he gave her the addresses where John and George and Ringo lived. (on camera): You think he was trying to get rid of you? BAKER: Probably. And he said, "Would you like them?" And I said, "Oh, yes, please." I grabbed this old envelope out of my bag and then just wrote down the addresses. PHILLIPS (voice-over): Sue says she took the photographs to prove to her disbelieving friends that her stories about meeting the Beatles were true. She kept up her visits for about two years. It seems impossible now, but things were simpler then. BAKER: I said once to John, "Sorry to trouble you on a Sunday." And he said, "If it wasn`t for you and people like you, we wouldn`t be living in these houses and we wouldn`t have all this success. So, we`re always happy to see our fans." And we were just so thrilled with that. PHILLIPS: Beatles memorabilia sells for big money these days. Sue will keep the memories and use the proceeds to pay for her daughter`s wedding. Mark Phillips, CBS News, London. (END VIDEOTAPE) Page 20 For July 17, 2010, CBS CBS News Transcripts July 17, 2010 Saturday

Double Trouble as Hurricane Alex Heads for Land; Hanging Up the Suspend- ers: Larry King Ends Show After 25 Years; Teen Dies of Suspected Drug Over- dose at LA Dance Party, CBS

HIGHLIGHT: Hurricane Alex is expected to bring high winds and heavy rain to the Texas coast as early as today. As Alex heads for land, it`s also slowing down efforts to clean up the Gulf oil spill. Larry King hangs up the suspenders after twenty-five years of interviewing the famous and infamous. Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan faces more questions this morning from the Senate Judiciary Committee. It`s likely to be her last day of testimony. A fifteen-year- old girl has died of a suspected drug overdose after a big dance party last weekend in Los Angeles. Now authorities are saying these raves have gone too far.

EMILY SMITH: Taking Aim: Hurricane Alex is expected to bring high winds and heavy rain to the Texas coast as early as today. Double Trouble: As Alex heads for land, it`s also slowing down efforts to clean up the Gulf oil spill. And, Calling it Quits: Larry King hangs up the suspenders after twenty-five years of interviewing the famous and infamous. This is the CBS MORNING NEWS for Wednesday, June 30, 2010. Good morning, thanks for joining us. I`m Emily Smith in for Betty Nguyen. We begin in the Gulf of Mexico, where this morning the first hurricane of the Atlantic season is disrupting the oil spill clean-up efforts. Hurricane Alex is the first Atlantic hurricane in June, since 1995. The storm is currently located about two hundred and fifty miles southeast of Brownsville, Texas. Alex is expected to make landfall somewhere near the Texas-Mexican border by tonight or early tomorrow. Whit Johnson is on South Padre Island, just off the Texas coast. Good morning, Whit. WHIT JOHNSON: Emily, good morning. The good news for people here is it looks as if this hurricane is going to make landfall about a hundred miles south. But as you can see, there have already been downpours and high wind and the next twenty-four hours will be much more intense. (Begin VT) WHIT JOHNSON: Tourists on South Padre Island are moving out before Alex roles in. EDDIE SALAZAR (Evacuating South Padre Island): I think it`s just the best thing to do right now. The storm doesn`t look good and it`s coming this way, so-- Page 22 Double Trouble as Hurricane Alex Heads for Land; Hanging Up the Suspenders: Larry King Ends Show After 25 Years; Teen Dies of Suspected Drug Overdose at LA Dance Party, CBS CBS News Transcripts June 30, 2010 Wednesday WHIT JOHNSON: Forecasters expect the first hurricane of the Atlantic season to slam into the Gulf Coast sometime tonight, near the Texas-Mexico border. While it`s not expected to turn into a major hurricane, people are still treating it like one. BRIANA DIETRICH (Tourist): I`m not a big storm person. So, yeah, kind of freaks me out being stuck on an island, so we`re heading out. WHIT JOHNSON: Alex is packing eighty-mile-per-hour winds. It`s expected to dump a whopping six to twelve inches of rain in southern Texas, and as much as twenty inches in some areas. The governor of Texas has already issued a disaster declaration allowing the state to free up resources. President Obama has also declared a federal emergency for a number of South Texas counties. WOMAN: Ready. WHIT JOHNSON: The Bonaparte (ph) family posed for one last snapshot before they headed home Tuesday, cutting their vacation short by five days. WOMAN: We were going to head to San Antonio, actually, but I don`t even know that we`re going to do that. WHIT JOHNSON: In the Gulf of Mexico, the Coast Guard ordered oil-skimming ships back to shore because of the storm. The system is far away from the spill zone but its winds are producing waves up to twelve feet. Alex is the first June hurricane in the Atlantic in more than fifteen years. Residents here hope what`s beginning as a busy storm season won`t stay that way. (End VT) WHIT JOHNSON: And there`s also a threat of some flooding and even some small tornadoes in this area. The mayor of South Padre Island is urging people to evacuate, although no mandatory evacuation has been ordered. Emily. EMILY SMITH: All right. Whit Johnson on South Padre Island. Thank you, Whit. As Alex churns through the Gulf, oil and gas operations on the western edge of the Gulf are being evacuated. Nearly one quarter of the Gulf`s oil production has been halted because of the storm, adding to the devastating economic impact the oil spill has had on the Gulf Coast. Sandra Hughes has that part of the story. (Begin VT) SANDRA HUGHES: Rough seas forced the Coast Guard and BP to order their oil- skimming ships back to shore. Tropical Storm Alex is churning some five hundred miles away from the spill, but waves as high as twelve feet made skimming operations unsafe and ineffective. Wind and waves are already battering the booms stretched out to protect the beaches. Vice President Biden got the latest on the approaching storm as he toured the Unified Command Center in New Orleans. VICE PRESIDENT BIDEN: We`re doing everything we can to make sure all the-- all of our response personnel are safe while continuing with our containment efforts. SANDRA HUGHES: With Alex sidelining skimming boats and booms, beaches are even more vulnerable to oil. And the oil that`s already washed ashore, is keeping tourists away. That means trouble for the well-known seafood restaurant Bahama Bob`s in Gulf Shores, Alabama. Manager Dianne Barron says her beachside hotspot has turned cold. DIANE BARRON: This time of year we`re usually open until ten o`clock. And right now, it`s-- it`s-- it`s straggling in. SANDRA HUGHES: Even though Barron flash froze a season`s worth of Gulf seafood before the spill closed off fishing, she can`t convince all her customers to eat it. DIANE BARRON: They`re afraid, you know. But that`s why we`re trying to get people to come down here to see that our seafood is safe, our beaches are clean. SANDRA HUGHES: While so many businesses wait for compensation for their losses, BP just gave the government sixty-nine million dollars as a first payment for the oil spill recovery effort. Sandra Hughes, CBS News, Pensacola Beach, Florida.

At least twelve countries and international aid organizations will lend a hand. They`ve offered skimmers, booms and dispersant chemicals, but ships from twenty-four countries are already in the Gulf providing assistance. A powerful earthquake struck southern Mexico, early this morning. The magnitude 6.5 quake was centered more than two hundred miles south of Mexico City near Oaxaca, a popular tourist destination. The quake was felt in Mexico City, where buildings shook. So far there are no reports of injury or damaged. Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan faces more questions this morning from the Senate Judiciary Committee. It`s likely to be her last day of testimony. There have been no real surprises during her confirmation hearings. But during Tues- day`s nine-hour session, Republicans tried to paint her as too liberal and too inexperienced. Tara Mergener is in Wash- ington with the latest. Good morning, Tara. TARA MERGENER: Good morning, Emily. Well, during testimony yesterday, Kagan appeared confident and asser- tive, reassuring skep-- skeptical lawmakers, she would be an impartial judge. (Begin VT) TARA MERGENER: Republicans attacked almost immediately, hitting the nominee hard on charges, she limited military recruiting while Dean at Harvard Law School. SENATOR JEFF SESSIONS (R-Alabama): I-- I`m just a-- a little taken aback by the tone of your remarks, because it`s unconnected to reality. I know what happened at Harvard. I know you were an outspoken leader against the military policy. TARA MERGENER: Kagan denied it. ELENA KAGAN (Supreme Court Justice Nominee): You know, I respect and indeed, I revere the military. My father was a veteran. TARA MERGENER: Kagan has called Supreme Court confirmation hearings a charade, because nominees say so little, but she didn`t hide from her background. ELENA KAGAN: I`ve been a Democrat all my life. I`ve worked for two Democratic presidents. And those are-- you know, that`s-- that`s what my political views are. TARA MERGENER: Still, like many nominees before her, she took care to dance around questions that could derail her track to the nation`s highest bench. SENATOR JOHN KYL (R-Arizona): Do you agree with the characterization by some of my colleagues that the current court is too activist in supporting the position of corporations and big business? ELENA KAGAN: I would not want to characterize the current court in-- in any way. I-- I hope one day to join it. SENATOR PATRICK LEAHY: Do you want to override that? TARA MERGENER: And provided, Kagan doesn`t make any major mistakes, Democrats have enough votes to make that happen. (End VT) TARA MERGENER: And if confirmed, Kagan would unlikely change the balance of the court since she`d be replacing John Paul Stevens, a liberal. Emily, back to you. EMILY SMITH: Okay. Tara Mergener in Washington. Thank you, Tara. The Senate is expected to vote on General David Petraeus nomination to run the war in Afghanistan, later this week. The Senate Armed Services Committee voted in favor of Petraeus Tuesday, following his testimony. Petraeus is cre- dited with turning around the war in Iraq, but he warned lawmakers that progress in Afghanistan will be slower. Pe- traeus did not rule out a significant U.S. withdrawal beginning in July of 2011, as proposed by the President but made it clear it was not the military`s idea. Page 24 Double Trouble as Hurricane Alex Heads for Land; Hanging Up the Suspenders: Larry King Ends Show After 25 Years; Teen Dies of Suspected Drug Overdose at LA Dance Party, CBS CBS News Transcripts June 30, 2010 Wednesday Attorney General Eric Holder arrived in Afghanistan, this morning. He`s meeting with Afghan officials to discuss law enforcement issues, including how to fight corruption. Also in Afghanistan this morning, there was a car bombing at an airport in eastern Afghanistan. Eight militants were killed in the gun battle that followed. Just ahead on the MORNING NEWS, jitters on Wall Street send the Dow plunging. Plus, TV host Larry King calls it quits after twenty-five years in primetime. But first, Erica Hill has a preview of tonight`s CBS EVENING NEWS. ERICA HILL: They kill thousands of Americans each year. But what`s being done to fix our nation`s most dangerous roads? Our special series Where America Stands, tonight, only on the CBS EVENING NEWS. (ANNOUNCEMENTS) EMILY SMITH: On the CBS MoneyWatch, another miserable morning for Asian stocks. Ashley Morrison is here in New York with that and more. Good morning, Ashley. ASHLEY MORRISON: And good morning to you, Emily. While Asian markets slid for the second straight day on new worries about the global economy. Japan`s Nikkei gave back nearly two percent, finishing with its worst quarterly performance since 2008, while Hong Kong`s Hang Seng was also lower. A very nervous Wall Street opens this morning with stocks at their lowest level of the year. A huge drop in consumer confidence helped fuel the big selloff on Tuesday. When it was all over, the Dow had dropped two hundred and sixty- eight points, that`s about three percent, while the NASDAQ lost eighty-five. It looks like financial reform will have to wait until after the Fourth of July. The House could vote as early as today on the bill and is expected to pass easily. But the Senate is likely to wait till after the holiday. To help keep Republicans on board, Democrats eliminated a nineteen-billion- dollar fee on big banks and hedge funds. And said money from the government bailout fund will pay for the legislation. The House has passed and sent to the Senate a bill giving homebuyers an extra three months to cash in on a tax credit. Under current laws, homebuyers who signed purchase agreements by the end of April, have until the close of business today to close the deal to qualify for tax incentives of up to eight thousand dollars. The bill would also give buyers till the end of September to seal their deals. Homes in foreclosure accounted for thirty-one percent of all residential sales in the first three months of the year. Ac- cording to RealtyTrac, foreclosed homes sold for twenty-seven percent less than other properties. Home prices did rise in April for the first time in seven months. And, iPhone users can now get their phones insured but it probably isn`t worth it. AT&T`s insurance cost twelve dollars a month and has a nearly two-hundred-dollar deductible. The new iPhone costs anywhere from two to three hundred dollars, but customers would need to pay six to seven hundred dollars to replace the phone while in the middle of a contract. Consumer Reports says it`s just cheaper to buy a phone used until the contract is up. And, Emily, I think that makes a little bit more sense to me, too. EMILY SMITH: Yeah, I think so, too. Ashley Morrison here in New York. Thank you so much. After twenty-five years, Larry King says he`ll be leaving his primetime show on CNN. The seventy-six-year-old King will depart this fall. He holds the Guinness Record for hosting the longest-running show on the same network in the same timeslot. And he`s interviewed thousands of celebrity and newsmakers. LARRY KING (Larry King Live, CNN): Twenty-five years ago, I sat across this table from New York Governor Mario Cuomo for the first broadcast ever of Larry King Live. And now, decades later, I talked to the guys here at CNN and I told them I`d like to end Larry King Live. EMILY SMITH: CBS News was the first to speak to him just after his show last night and he says it was a tough decision. Page 25 Double Trouble as Hurricane Alex Heads for Land; Hanging Up the Suspenders: Larry King Ends Show After 25 Years; Teen Dies of Suspected Drug Overdose at LA Dance Party, CBS CBS News Transcripts June 30, 2010 Wednesday LARRY KING: Yeah, bittersweet. It was my decision. I`m glad I made it-- frees me up to do other things. I can still do specials. I`ll still be here. Larry King Live will be doing another two-three months. But it was hard to talk to staff. And, I know down the road I`m going to miss it. EMILY SMITH: King says he wants to spend more time with his family. CNN has not announced who will take Larry King`s place. Straight ahead, your Wednesday morning weather. And in sports, South Carolina and UCLA in the deciding game of the College World Series. (ANNOUNCEMENTS) EMILY SMITH: All right, a check on the national forecast. The latest satellite picture shows skies clearing out across the Northeast. Later today, severe weather is expected in portions of the Northern Plains. In the Southern Plains, parts of the Southeast, Hurricane Alex is making showers and storms move inland from the Gulf of Mexico. And in the South- west, many areas will be dealing with hot and dry conditions. In sports, South Carolina captured its first College World Series. With the score tied, South Carolina`s Whit Merrifield singled in the bottom of the eleventh inning for a 2 to 1 victory over UCLA and the celebration began. South Carolina won the series, two games to none. In Major League Baseball, extra innings in Cincinnati in the tenth inning, Philadelphia`s Raul Ibanez hit the ball off the right field wall and it was bobbled and dropped. The Phillies went on to beat the Reds, 9 to 6. In Boston, David Ortiz smashed his seventeenth home run to give the Red Sox an 8 to 5 win over Tampa Bay. Boston has won ten out of their last thirteen games. And now trail the Yankees by only a game in the American League East. There will not be a third straight Williams sisters final at Wimbledon. Venus Williams committed twenty-nine unforced errors as she lost in the quarterfinals, but younger sister Serena Williams easily advanced to the semifinals. When we return, another look at this morning`s top stories. And, dangerous dance parties, new questions about raves after a drug overdose death of a young girl. (ANNOUNCEMENTS) EMILY SMITH: Here`s another look at this morning`s top stories. Hurricane Alex with sustained winds of eighty miles an hour is expected to make landfall somewhere near the Mexico-Texas border as early as tonight. Alex is the first hurricane of the Atlantic season. Alex is not near the oil spill but the storm is affecting clean-up operations in the Gulf. Oil skimming ships battling twelve-foot waves have been ordered back to shore. A fifteen-year-old girl has died of a suspected drug overdose after a big dance party last weekend in Los Angeles. Now authorities are saying these raves have gone too far. Ben Tracy reports. (Begin VT) BEN TRACY: It was billed as the largest dance party of its kind in North America. But when one hundred eighty-five thousand people piled into the L.A. Coliseum this past weekend, many couldn`t stay on their feet. Two hundred twenty- six were injured, one hundred fourteen taken to the hospital. These mega parties called raves are all-night dance fests with electronic music, often fueled by drugs such as ecstasy and cocaine. DR. MARC FUTERNICK (California Hospital Medical Center): And, obviously, it`s not advertised that this is a drug fest but I think it`s well understood certainly to those in the health profession what`s going on at these raves? And I would be very surprised if the county officials weren`t aware of it as well. BEN TRACY: Raves began in the late 1980s and were mostly held in abandoned warehouses. Now many are large organized commercial events often in public facilities. At a rave at another state-owned arena near San Francisco last month, two young men died likely from drug overdoses. Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has ordered a review of event guidelines at all state facilities. Nationally, several major cities have cut down on raves by enforcing curfew laws and fire codes. Los Angeles County emergency responders now prepare for raves as multi-casualty incidents, similar to planning for major injuries such as commuter train crashes. Page 26 Double Trouble as Hurricane Alex Heads for Land; Hanging Up the Suspenders: Larry King Ends Show After 25 Years; Teen Dies of Suspected Drug Overdose at LA Dance Party, CBS CBS News Transcripts June 30, 2010 Wednesday The people who run the coliseum here in Los Angeles say they try to minimize drug use and injuries and that most people are just having a good time. But for far too many, that good time is ending far too badly. Ben Tracy, CBS News, Los Angeles. (End VT) EMILY SMITH: And some Jetsons Technology is now a reality, a flying car called the Transition was given a go ahead by the FAA this week. It holds two passengers and can transform from plane to car in about thirty seconds. The Transi- tion requires a runway a third of a mile long to take off. The retail price, two hundred thousand dollars. And according to the company, about seventy customers have already lined up. I`m Emily Smith. And this is the CBS MORNING NEWS.

(Crowd cheering) ERICA HILL: Welcome back this morning to a fun-filled, hat-filled edition of THE EARLY SHOW. We are wearing today. CHRIS WRAGGE: No. JULIE CHEN: I`m not. Can I explain why I`m not? ERICA HILL: Because you`re smart, Julie. Let`s be honest. Why mess up the hair? JULIE CHEN: Well, that too but I just have to say, I love you guys, but you look all very untrustworthy, right now. (Cross talking) ERICA HILL: Even me? HARRY SMITH: Untrustworthy? JULIE CHEN: You two guys. ERICA HILL: I thought I was looking ridiculous. CHRIS WRAGGE: Feels like a smooth cri-- feels like a "Smooth Criminal" video. JULIE CHEN: Yes. You look very untrustworthy. ERICA HILL: And that`s not-- HARRY SMITH: Well, that-- he looks like likes Rhett Butler. That`s-- CHRIS WRAGGE: Now you-- HARRY SMITH: --Mister Rhett-- Mister Rhett. (Erica Hill, Harry Smith, and Julie Chen laughing) CHRIS WRAGGE: Now you wonder why I`m in country club casual today just to say, you know-- ERICA HILL: He was-- he was-- he was all waiting this segment. CHRIS WRAGGE: --it`s hat-- a hat day in the sun to promote wearing the right hat to protect your skin. Page 28 For June 15, 2010, CBS CBS News Transcripts June 15, 2010 Tuesday

HARRY SMITH: Do you know what you`re-- ERICA HILL: There you go. CHRIS WRAGGE: That`s why I`m wearing this hat. HARRY SMITH: Do you know who looks really good in his hat, though, this morning just take a look at this young guy over here. JULIE CHEN: Well, that is gracious. CHRIS WRAGGE: Yeah, look how happy he is. HARRY SMITH: Yeah. That-- JULIE CHEN: Indiana Jones, you are not. DAVE PRICE: Why is it-- HARRY SMITH (overlapping): That it hat handsome. DAVE PRICE: --always the case. HARRY SMITH: Yeah. DAVE PRICE: You guys get nice things. HARRY SMITH: Yeah. DAVE PRICE: You don`t have to wear one and look at me. JULIE CHEN: I don`t even have one. ERICA HILL: That`s part of the weather guy job. DAVE PRICE: It`s part of the weather guy job. ERICA HILL: You didn`t-- you didn`t get that information, did you? DAVE PRICE: Why didn`t you give me your hat? ERICA HILL: It`s not easy-- it`s not easy being Dave Price. DAVE PRICE: Give me your hat. HARRY SMITH: All right. Hang on. DAVE PRICE: Give me your hat. Give me your hat WOMAN: Ninety-seven hat pins. You-- you-- DAVE PRICE: Come on. Oh, ninety-seven hat pins? WOMAN: Yeah. DAVE PRICE: All right. We`ll work on that for next week. CHRIS WRAGGE: (INDISTINCT) ERICA HILL: Maybe tomorrow. All right. Coming up on THE EARLY SHOW, we will meet four animals that are among the species most affected by the Gulf oil spill. Of course, this is a disaster for wildlife across the region from birds to bobcats, some crocodiles. We`re going to talk about not only the short-term, but the long-term effects on these birds. HARRY SMITH: That`s a spoonbill. You know how-- why you can tell it`s a spoonbill? JULIE CHEN: Wow. ERICA HILL: The Roseate spoonbill? HARRY SMITH: Because it`s bill-- because the bill looks like a spoon. Page 29 For June 15, 2010, CBS CBS News Transcripts June 15, 2010 Tuesday

JULIE CHEN: Aha. HARRY SMITH There you go. JULIE CHEN: Oh, it sure does. HARRY SMITH: About that. JULIE CHEN: I want to stir some soup. HARRY SMITH: Mister Science. On a lighter note, the very funny Jonah Hill is here to tell us about the strange and devious character he plays in the new movie Cyrus--a real about-face from the kind of roles that first brought him to our attention. We`ll hear from him in a bit. JULIE CHEN: Also Father`s Day is on the way. Do you care if your kids get you Father`s Day gift? HARRY SMITH: Not at all. JULIE CHEN: That`s where men and women differ. And we have the coolest gifts for any dad-- ERICA HILL: I love Julie. JULIE CHEN: --assuming he`d be interested in flip-flops with headlights or touch-screen watches. And if he is really traditional, we`re going to help him brew some beer at home. CHRIS WRAGGE: Nice, Harry`s kids just got bailed out. Daddy doesn`t need a gift. But hey, guess what? You know what it`s time for? Another check of the weather. The man who looks good in any Chapo, Dave Price. DAVE PRICE: Oh, yeah. You look like the guy who threw me off the golf course and told me to play municipal. I mean that-- (LAUGHTER) CHRIS WRAGGE: Is that right? DAVE PRICE: I think you are the guy who threw me out in the golf course. CHRIS WRAGGE: Extremely accurate. DAVE PRICE: Nice to see you everybody. It is hat day. Again, here`s a really simple tip. You can look good, not particularly like I do right now, and protect yourself from the dangerous elements of the sun just by preparing yourself when you go outside. Your skin will look great and you`ll stay safe, right. Hat day in the sun. Nice to see you. All right. Let`s take a check of the weather and see what`s happening all across the country, shall we? We`ll go to the maps. We see plenty of sunshine in the Northeast into New England. We are going to see some beautiful weather in the Desert Southwest as well. It`s typical for this time of the year. But let`s say from the northern Panhandle of Texas in through the Southern Plains, up through sections of the Ohio Valley, it is going to be a really rough day weather-wise. You could you see some heavy rains, you could see some municipal flooding, some flash flooding. We`ll keep an eye on it. And remember, and what we saw yesterday in Oklahoma City, all of this can happen so quickly. Keep a heads up. Dial 911 if you need help, don`t attempt to-- again to rescue anyone on your own. You can wind up in trouble yourself. That`s a quick look at your national map. Hey, everybody from Missouri. Here`s an early look at what`s going on in your area. (LOCAL WEATHER BREAK) DAVE PRICE: Shout-out to the Perryville Pirates. Go Pirates. That`s a quick look at your weather picture. Erica, tip of the hat to you. ERICA HILL: Ah. Dave, you`re too kind, thank you. It is impossible to put a price tag whether financial or the environmental on the damage being done to wildlife in the Gulf these days. Doctor Pam Yochem is a senior veterinarian at SeaWorld. She`s brought several species of animals affected by the oil spill with her this morning. Also joining us our resident vet Doctor Debbye Turner Bell, who spent some time at an animal rescue center in Louisiana. Good to have both of you with us this morning. DEBBYE TURNER BELL: Good morning. Page 30 For June 15, 2010, CBS CBS News Transcripts June 15, 2010 Tuesday

ERICA HILL: And where you were, were some-- were some of the pelicans were where there we-- that we-- that we want to talk about. DEBBYE TURNER BELL: Yes. ERICA HILL: Because that seems to be for many people really the symbol of the danger and the damage to the animals. (INDISTINCT) just the way Louisiana state bird just came off the endangered list. Doctor Yochem, when we look at the pelican, though, why-- what`s your main concern for them when you see them coated in oil? DEBBYE TURNER BELL: And while she`s talking, let`s bring the pelican out. Everybody wants to see. ERICA HILL: I`m in the pelican`s way. DEBBYE TURNER BELL: No, he`s Okay. ERICA HILL: Those are some wings. DEBBYE TURNER BELL (Resident Veterinarian): He`s like Hello. Dr. PAM YOCHEM (Senior Veterinarian at SeaWorld): Definitely and this is-- this is actually what you want to see is a pelican that`s able to flap its wings and fly. Unfortunately, when they get coated with oil that does affect their ability to fly. It also affects their ability to thermo- regulate, keep themselves warm. And then as they preen as they groom, they can actually ingest some of that oil and swallow it. ERICA HILL: So and-- and we`re looking I know you have some of the feathers here. So give us some idea as you I know, Debbye, you are going to coat some of these sort of to show us what happens when the oil gets on there. DEBBYE TURNER BELL: Well, they have a very fluffy down which is sort of like an undercoat, under the-- the wa- terproof feathers that are on top. And this is how they thermal regulate. ERICA HILL: Wow DEBBYE TURNER BELL: Stand back here with me. ERICA HILL: Thank you for sharing your feathers with me. DEBBYE TURNER BELL: Hi, honey. Where is the-- hey, David, bring that little piece of fish in. So when the oil coats this down-- ERICA HILL: Right DEBBYE TURNER BELL: --it collapses the air pocket in there, which is what keeps them warm. So Doctor Yochem going to pour this on your. DR. PAM YOCHEM: Of course, I have my nitro gloves on to protect human safety. But you can see how it just flattens it down immediately. (Cross talking) DEBBYE TURNER BELL: We have a lot down there but-- ERICA HILL: How sticky this is. DR. PAM YOCHEM: Yeah. ERICA HILL: And you were-- you were at this rescue center, Debbye, and we see how sticky this-- this oil is to try to get them off. Once it comes off, though, they`re not in the clear. DEBBYE TURNER BELL: Well, first of all, there`s the stress of being coated in the oil. They can`t feed properly, they can`t thermo regulate properly. And then the stress of the cleaning process. It takes an hour to clean each of these birds. And so just that process itself and stress. And I don`t mean like you know, oh, how do I balance work and the kids. I mean-- ERICA HILL: Or like there`s a pelican going out of the studio. DEBBYE TURNER BELL: --I mean stress for them which can lower their immune system and make them more-- more-- what`s the word I`m looking for? Susceptible to disease. Page 31 For June 15, 2010, CBS CBS News Transcripts June 15, 2010 Tuesday

DR. PAM YOCHEM: Susceptible. ERICA HILL: Okay. DEBBYE TURNER BELL: And also when you put them back out. There have been some studies that show that some of these clean pelicans then don`t reproduce as well. ERICA HILL: Mm-Hm. DEBBYE TURNER BELL: --Ah and then if they`ve ingested some, there`s some danger to their internal organs as well. ERICA HILL: And-- and how many we`re talking about that we know that were affected right now? DEBBYE TURNER BELL: Well, they`ve found oiled alive five hundred and eighty five so far. They`ve found a hundred and sixty-five oiled and death and they`ve released forty. But that`s just the tip of the iceberg. We don`t really know how many-- ERICA HILL: And it`s really and it`s not just the pelicans that we are about to say because we also have with us, it is the-- tell me if I`m saying correct, the roseate spoonbill-- DEBBYE TURNER BELL: That`s exactly right. ERICA HILL: Which here we saw a little bit of in the break. It`s a beautiful bird. DEBBYE TURNER BELL: This is a beautiful bird and look at those beautiful pink feathers. ERICA HILL: And, wow-- DEBBYE TURNER BELL: Lot of people think-- (LAUGHING). It`s okay. ERICA HILL: What is it with me and the birds this morning? What did I do? DEBBYE TURNER BELL: It`s the pretty shiny necklace. You know, they like the shining thing. ERICA HILL: So what-- why is this one particularly susceptible when it comes to the oil? DR. PAM YOCHEM: Well this birds, when they feed, you see that sort of spatula-type bill, they move that back and forth in the shallow water so these are waiting birds, whereas the Pelicans would get affected in the open water. ERICA HILL: Um-hmm. DR. PAM YOCHEM: These birds get affect more when the oil moves on shore. So they move that-- that sort of spoon- shaped bill back and forth in the-- in the marshes and snap up whatever food items they find there. DEBBYE TURNER BELL: Just what it`s doing right there. ERICA HILL: So they could potentially of getting even more than just a-- an oily fish, they`re getting it from all of that sort of the muck that they are digging around in. DR. PAM YOCHEM: They literally put in the beak down in it and then what they feed on, the-- the crayfish, the shrimp, and the small fish that have been contaminated by the oil, then they eat that as well. ERICA HILL: Which is just-- it`s-- it`s terrible when you think about all-- how all of this is interconnected because this is such-- part of such a larger ecosystem. One of-- one of the animals we have with us as well the American crocodile, I believe? DEBBYE TURNER BELL: We do. ERICA HILL: Which isn`t necessarily in the Gulf, but in those marshlands. DEBBYE TURNER BELL: Yes. ERICA HILL: And why-- why is that so, I mean as the oil creeps in there it looks like it`s almost more difficult to get it out of there than it is to out of the Gulf? DEBBYE TURNER BELL: Well, the crocodile in here? Oh, here they`re coming from this side. ERICA HILL: Hello, little guys. Page 32 For June 15, 2010, CBS CBS News Transcripts June 15, 2010 Tuesday

DEBBYE TURNER BELL: Here we go. Hi. Do you want one? DR. PAM YOCHEM: Hi, little fellow. DEBBYE TURNER BELL: You don`t have to. ERICA HILL: I can. DOCTOR PAM YOCHEM: You can? ERICA HILL: I mean I just got hit by a pelican, why not. DEBBYE TURNER BELL: I`ll let you help. Just-- just put your hand behing the-- the legs and keep-- ERICA HILL: Behind the front legs? DEBBYE TURNER BELL: --the front legs. ERICA HILL: The front legs-- the front legs. DEBBYE TURNER BELL: You see how I`m holding him like that. Just do that. ERICA HILL: He feels a little strange, okay. DEBBYE TURNER BELL: Okay. Well, maybe-- maybe you just touch. ERICA HILL: I`ll stop being jittery. You tell us why this is important because that`s the important stuff. DR. PAM YOCHEM: Well, crocodiles are already actually having a bad year this year. A number of-- this is an endangered species and the only place that they breed is at the very southern tip of Florida. And you`ve heard a lot of discus- sions about how the oil slick may make its way around. ERICA HILL: It`s going to move down and around. DR. PAM YOCHEM: And so because the cold snap this winter already about hundred of a population of only about a thousand has been lost. And so if the oil gets around there to their breeding area, when these youngsters are coming out then that could be doubly devastating. ERICA HILL (overlapping): And isn`t this-- this-- this is just about the time too that they`re hatching, correct? Do they just lay the eggs-- DEBBYE TURNER BELL: Well, they`re start-- they`re going to begin to lay their eggs in July and August and then they`ll hatch soon thereafter. So if it the oil contaminates the environment, it also contaminates the eggs where they had where they lie down. ERICA HILL: And then they, of course, could also carry anything into the marshlands since they move in there. I`m guessing. DEBBYE TURNER BELL: That`s exactly right. ERICA HILL: You also had as you showed us a little bit early the Florida bobcat. DEBBYE TURNER BELL: Yes. So we`ll hand these off. ERICA HILL: Because it`s not just animals that live in the water. And this is so important to point out that this continues up inland in so many different areas. DEBBYE TURNER BELL: Yeah, It`s important for people to understand it`s not just the oil pelicans that we see. The entire ecosystem is affected. So these are bobcats and they feed on small mammals that live in the Marshland. ERICA HILL: Okay. DEBBYE TURNER BELL: So if the small mammals like the mice and the rats and the rabbits eat the contaminated food and then the bobcat eats them, then we`ve taken the oil contamination right up the food chain. ERICA HILL: And on and on it goes. DR. PAM YOCHEM: That`s right. Page 33 For June 15, 2010, CBS CBS News Transcripts June 15, 2010 Tuesday

ERICA HILL: Doctors, Pam Yochem and Debbye Turner Bell, good to have you with us this morning. One thing that makes it better is looking at these cute faces about. DEBBYE TURNER BELL: They are cute. But they are wild animals, not pets. DR. PAM YOCHEM: That`s right. They are not pets. ERICA HILL: Definitely not. All right, now here`s Harry. HARRY SMITH: Jonah Hill has quickly made a name for himself in comedies like Super Bad for getting Sarah Mar- shall in Knocked up. Now he takes on a more dramatic role in the new movie, Cyrus, as a man who competes for his mother`s love with her new suitor. (Excerpt from Cyrus, Fox Searchlight Pictures) HARRY SMITH: And Jonah Hill is with us this morning. Good morning. JONAH HILL (Cyrus; Actor): Hello, sir. How are you? HARRY SMITH: Good to see you. JONAH HILL: You as well. HARRY SMITH: I love just the very premise of this. JONAH HILL: Right. HARRY SMITH: You, John C. Riley, Marissa Tomei. I`m not even sure you needed a story line. JONAH HILL: Yeah. Well, the story line is-- is interesting because it`s, you know, it`s a-- it`s a love triangle of sorts in a very odd way, you know, but it`s basically someone starts dating my mom who is played by Marissa Tomei and John C. Riley starts dating her. And our relationship is all too close and it`s sort of difficult for him to make his way in there, which could be the premise of a very broad comedy but the way that you prosper they also decided to make it as very grounded, and real, and it`s got sort of this great comedic and traumatic tone to it. HARRY SMITH: The question becomes are you fighting him for your mother`s affection because you just don`t want your life to change or is it because this guy is not good enough for your mom? JONAH HILL: It`s not even about him in any way. That`s the kind of interesting thing. I think it`s more, you know, I play Cyrus and the movie is called Cyrus. And it`s a-- you know, really about this guy has been raised, you know, in a way where he-- he`s the closest to his mother out of all people in the world. So it`s-- it`s a very odd relationship in that. She never, you know, forced him to go out in the world and make other friends and-- and form other relationships. So they`re almost in a weird marriage type of thing where they live together-- HARRY SMITH: Right. JONAH HILL: --and they-- they`re best friends and they-- they hang out all the time. And they have a really, you know, seemingly really it`s special relationship-- HARRY SMITH: Yeah. JONAH HILL: --because they`re so close but then, you know, when another guy tries to take her affection away-- HARRY SMITH: Hmm. JONAH HILL: --it`s you know, what would do to defend the thing you care about most in the entire world. HARRY SMITH: But I mean if you`re going to have a dream sort of (INDISTINCT) relationship it would probably be. JONAH HILL: Be with Marissa Tomei, exactly. Yeah. HARRY SMITH: But you are going to be twenty-one years old and to be in love with your mother JONAH HILL: Exactly, exactly. HARRY SMITH: That`s pretty good. That`s pretty good. How great is it for you to get a part like this? Page 34 For June 15, 2010, CBS CBS News Transcripts June 15, 2010 Tuesday

JONAH HILL: It`s fantastic. You know, honestly, I really love all the, you know, I-- first of all, I`m just appreciative to be in movies in the first place. I know it`s very much so a privilege and not a right for anybody, you know. And so I really appreciate that and I`ve gotten to work with a lot of great comics and-- and being in a lot of these comedic movies and Cyrus was definitely a chance to try something else and stretch in a different way. HARRY SMITH: Yeah. JONAH HILL: And-- and, you know, Mark and Jay Duplass who gave me this opportunity, it was just very special. And, you know, the way I look things about is, which is the most it kind of sounds cheesy, but it`s a lot of ways like life, where no conversation is like just funny or just sad. It`s just however it goes it goes and the movie allows us to feel like real life which is cool. HARRY SMITH: We`re going to write that down for the trailer-- JONAH HILL: Right. HARRY SMITH: --you want us to emphasize. JONAH HILL: Yeah. Okay, great. HARRY SMITH: This movie is a lot like life. HARRY SMITH: Jonah hill. JONAH HILL: Yeah. HARRY SMITH: We`re fans of yours. We`re very much appreciate you stopping by. JONAH HILL: Cool, thank you so much. HARRY SMITH: Very good, very good. JONAH HILL: Yeah, I appreciate it. HARRY SMITH: All right. Now here`s Julie. JULIE CHEN: All right. Thanks a lot, Harry. Well, if you still haven`t found the perfect gift for Father`s Day, never fear. From speakers to suds to super tools, we have great ideas from Joel Weber, senior associate editor of Men`s Health magazine. Joel, good morning. JOEL WEBER: Yeah, thanks for having me. JULIE CHEN: Thanks for being here. What did you bring us? JOEL WEBER: So this is really neat. You know, dad loves remote controls and he`s got a million of them and that`s kind of the beauty of this. It`s a device that syncs with your-- your iPhone or iPod Touch. And it`s called an L5 Remote Control. So it has this little infrared thing that docks and then you`re able to actually control one thousand different remote controls-- TVs, ACs, whatever uses infrared. And one hundred thousand buttons. So we`re going to turn that on. Turn up the volume. JULIE CHEN (overlapping): Wait. I buy this one little device for fifty dollars. JOEL WEBER (overlapping): Yeah, fifty bucks and it does all that. And the plaza is out there. There we go. Pretty neat for fifty bucks. JULIE CHEN: Oh. Pro-- programming it-- JOEL WEBER: Does it all, all online. It`s free software. It`s amazing. So you have until tomorrow to actually order that one, the L5 remote, fifty bucks. JULIE CHEN: All right. I like it. Okay. JOEL WEBER: Totally takes the clutter off the coffee table. JULIE CHEN (overlapping): Now you-- JOEL WEBER: Mom likes that, too, right? Page 35 For June 15, 2010, CBS CBS News Transcripts June 15, 2010 Tuesday

JULIE CHEN: --you`re speaking my language. Okay. JOEL WEBER: I know, I know. So this is the OrigAudio. They`re little speakers made of cardboard. And the cardboard actually folds; it comes flat and it almost it`s like an orgamy folds into a little box. And then it`s got a little speaker inside of it so that you can play your favorite songs for dad. McCartney, Crosby, Stills & Nash. JULIE CHEN: Wait, so how much are these? JOEL WEBER: This is twenty dollars. JULIE CHEN (overlapping): Twenty dollars. JOEL WEBER: Yeah and you can-- you have to order this one today actually in order to get it in time for Father`s Day, but twenty dollars totally affordable. You got really neat designs on the sides. JULIE CHEN (overlapping): For one speaker? JOEL WEBER: No, they come as pairs. JULIE CHEN: They come-- JOEL WEBER: And they dock into any head phone jack. JULIE CHEN: Wow. This is good for traveling with-- JOEL WEBER: Yeah. The plaza is still making noise. JULIE CHEN: Should we make them-- JOEL WEBER: I`m going to make them go away. (Julie Chen Laughing) JULIE CHEN: He`ll-- he makes them disappear. Right. JOEL WEBER: Okay. So this is a-- a touch-screen watch by Kenneth Cole. It would makes this really interesting is literally everything is via the touch screen, which you can just operate it all by holding it down. JULIE CHEN: Let me just tilt it forward so the camera get a nice shot. So if I want to change the date or anything-- JOEL WEBER: Yeah, you just hold it like that and then change all through this. It`s got thirty-two different cities around the world. So if dad`s a jet setter, he can just toggle through everything. No manuals or anything. It`s all via your fingers. JULIE CHEN: Between a hundred twenty-five-- JOEL WEBER: Hundred twenty-five, one fifty depending on the features you want to get that today or tomorrow. JULIE CHEN: All right. JOEL WEBER: Kenneth Cole. This is really-- this is a-- Teva made these sandals called the illums. JULIE CHEN: Oh, it`s pronounced Teva. JOEL WEBER: Yeah, Teva, yeah. JULIE CHEN: I`ve been saying Teva. JOEL WEBER: Teva. JULIE CHEN: It`s Teva. I`ve been-- no wonder-- okay go ahead. JOEL WEBER: So what`s really neat about this, though, is that it comes with these little lights on them. So that if dad is out walking around the yard, going to the beach-- JULIE CHEN (overlapping): Let me just press one. JOEL WEBER: Hit that on there. JULIE CHEN: Okay. So you just press it. Page 36 For June 15, 2010, CBS CBS News Transcripts June 15, 2010 Tuesday

JOEL WEBER: Going to the beach, he can see where he`s going. He doesn`t have to carry a flashlight or anything. JULIE CHEN: Do they make these for women? JOEL WEBER: They do, actually. So but this is Father`s Day, remember? JULIE CHEN: Oh, sorry. JOEL WEBER: Mothers are going to laughing at. JULIE CHEN: You mean it`s not always all about us? Okay. JOEL WEBER: So, what`s really need is that you can twist that off and it attaches to your key chain. JULIE CHEN: I like that feature. JOEL WEBER: So really practical. JULIE CHEN: Okay, these were again fifty dollars. JOEL WEBER: Fifty-- fifty bucks. Yep. JULIE CHEN: Talk to me about what this is. JOEL WEBER: So this is Brooklyn Brew Shop makes this do-it-yourself home brew kit. And for Father`s Day you can get a father a World`s Greatest Dad blend either in ale or a dark. All of it`s-- all included, so you just get one little attractive bundle that dad can take home and turn into a chemistry experiment. Within four weeks, he`s got his own beer. JULIE CHEN: So how do you make it? I mean it comes with-- JOEL WEBER: All the different ingredients. JULIE CHEN (overlapping): It`s this. JOEL WEBER: Yeah. JULIE CHEN (overlapping): Glass. JOEL WEBER: And then you combine everything you just follow the instruction. JULIE CHEN: Wait, I pour all of this-- JOEL WEBER: Well, that`s-- you got to follow the instructions. You got boils and stuff. This-- keep it to dad, keep it to dad. He`s going to make it. You`re going to drink it. JULIE CHEN: Dad`s never making anything in the kitchen except when it comes to brewer. JOEL WEBER (overlapping): Well, we can try. This is a sample of-- of kind of what you would make. Fa-- Happy Fa- ther`s Day. JULIE CHEN: Okay, Happy Father`s Day. JOEL WEBER: This is a-- a summer ale. That`s a German ale. JULIE CHEN: This is good. JOEL WEBER: Yeah, totally. JULIE CHEN: It`s so-- JOEL WEBER: We`re drinking before nine 0`clock. This is pretty good. JULIE CHEN: Well, it`s for the purposes of work. Okay. If this is-- JOEL WEBER: We can get away with anything. JULIE CHEN: This is so good it tastes like coffee. JOEL WEBER: Yeah, yeah. So that-- that`s the worlds greatest dad blend and you can make other ones if you`d rather do it, but that`s perfect for Father`s Day. Page 37 For June 15, 2010, CBS CBS News Transcripts June 15, 2010 Tuesday

JULIE CHEN: Okay. JOEL WEBER: So last but not least, this is for handy dads. It`s a Leatherman tool. They`ve redesigned it, came out about six months ago. It`s got larger pliers then usual. It also got a larger grip so that it does without wearing gloves or anything if it`s cold out. He can still handle it really well and this is to show you that this is actually a really practical tool. It`s got, you know, its maybe six inches, but the saw is totally practical. JULIE CHEN: You need help to hold this. Oh that is sharp. Wow. JOEL WEBER: That is how it works. JULIE CHEN: And how much is this? JOEL WEBER: That`s eighty dollars. JULIE CHEN: Eighty dollars. JOEL WEBER: And you can actually find it cheaper online. We`ve seen it as low as fifty-seven on Amazon. So it actually does work and, you know, HAPPY FATHER`S DAY. Here`s some-- JULIE CHEN: Thank you. I don`t want to splinter. Wait, so it has-- tell me all the features. JOEL WEBER: You got-- it`s got nineteen different tools. You got pliers, you got knives, you got saws, you got files. JULIE CHEN: Phillips head. JOEL WEBER: Phillips head, everything. Bottle openers could go well with that. Pretty neat. JULIE CHEN: I might-- I might want this. JOEL WEBER: Yeah, absolutely. JULIE CHEN: This is a good thing just to keep around the house. JOEL WEBER: You might want the belt attachment, too. JULIE CHEN: That`s where you lose me. Okay. JOEL WEBER: For dad, for dad. Okay. JULIE CHEN: I mean, if we could put something like Chanel cease on it and make it a fashion accessory. JOEL WEBER: I`ll leave that to you. JULIE CHEN: All right. Joel Weber from Men`s Health magazine. JOEL WEBER: Thank you very much. JULIE CHEN: Thank you so much. JOEL WEBER: Yep. JULIE CHEN: Happy Father`s Day to everyone out there for more on these great Father`s Day gifts, go to our website earlyshow.cbsnews.com. We`ll be right back. You`re watching THE EARLY SHOW on CBS. (ANNOUNCEMENTS) JULIE CHEN: Okay. So earlier I asked Harry-- HARRY SMITH: Mm-Hm. JULIE CHEN: --if he cares if his two son`s get him anything for Father`s Day. HARRY SMITH: Mm-Hm. JULIE CHEN: And you said not at all. HARRY SMITH: No way. JULIE CHEN: That`s the difference between Mother Day`s and Father`s Day. Page 38 For June 15, 2010, CBS CBS News Transcripts June 15, 2010 Tuesday

HARRY SMITH: Right, right. Because men will say they don`t want anything and they mean they don`t want anything. DAVE PRICE: Right. HARRY SMITH: Whereas a lot of times if you ask a mom or spouse or whatever you say, do you want anything for Mother`s Day, they will say, oh, don`t bother. DAVE PRICE: Right and then they hold it against you for the rest of your living days. HARRY SMITH: If you don`t, right. JULIE CHEN: Let me just say this normally I`d be offended by this sexist conversation and comment-- HARRY SMITH: Mm-Hm. JULIE CHEN: --but being that this was my first Mother`s Day, I became one of those women. CHRIS WRAGGE: So true. JULIE CHEN: I said-- I said-- (Harry Smith laughing) JULIE CHEN: I love my husband but he better have a gift. I became-- I became that girl. DAVE PRICE: I saw your baby crawling through Neiman Marcus the other day. (LAUGHTER) JULIE CHEN: Erica, how do you feel about this? ERICA HILL: I love getting-- although I did say to Harry. Honestly, my-- my perfect gift and I mean this-- is like a-- now that my oldest is old enough to make them, a card that he draws for me. But jewelry on the side isn`t bad. CHRIS WRAGGE: And don`t believe it`s the thought that counts. HARRY SMITH: Have a great day everybody.

SECTION: NEWS; Domestic

LENGTH: 3457 words

KATIE COURIC, CBS ANCHOR: I`m Katie Couric aboard the Helix Producer, one of the ships piping in oil from the massive spill. And a mile beneath the surface of the Gulf, after a day long delay, BP is getting ready to test the new well cap. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) ADMIRAL THAD ALLEN, NATIONAL INCIDENT COMMANDER FOR GULF OIL SPILL: I was gung-ho for this test, and I remain gung-ho for this test. (END VIDEO CLIP) COURIC: Also tonight, government health experts recommend keeping the popular diabetes drug Avandia on the market despite continuing safety concerns. And the NAACP accuses the Tea Party movement of tolerating bigotry. ANNOUNCER: This is the CBS EVENING NEWS with Katie Couric reporting tonight from the Gulf Coast. COURIC: Good evening, everyone, we are in New Orleans tonight just back from the Gulf of Mexico where BP is about to take a big step in trying to get control of the oil leak. It will test the new containment cap it installed on the well head to see if it can handle the pressure of the oil pushing into it. That test had been delayed today out of what the government called " ... an abundance of caution." The concern was that putting more pressure on the already damaged wellbore could do more harm than good and could even create more leaks. But late today, BP got the go- ahead for the test to begin. Meanwhile, the siphoning operation continues above the well and we went out there today for a first-hand look. (BEGIN VIDEOTAPE) COURIC: I headed out to the disaster site with the government`s point man, Admiral Thad Allen, and interior secretary Ken Salazar. We landed on the helix producer. Unlike a rig, it`s not moored to anything on the ocean floor, it`s a ship and a GPS keeps it in place. It`s a dramatic sight. Oil is pumped in through a riser then after it is separated the natural gas is burned off. Ever since the HP1 which is called a floating production unit, arrived here on June 19th it`s been ramping up its capacity to collect oil. Its target is to be able to collect some 30,000 barrels or 1.26 million gallons of oil every single day and then pipe it into that tanker right nearby. The Helix Producer will get an assist from three other vessels. (on camera): Ultimately, four vessels will be charged with really siphoning up the total amount of gas or oil that`s coming up? Page 40 EVENING NEWS for July 14, 2010, CBS CBS News Transcripts July 14, 2010 Wednesday

ADM. THAD ALLEN, NATIONAL INCIDENT COMMANDER FOR GULF OIL SPILL: And we believe that will give us 60,000 to 80,000 barrels a day, which is above our current flow rate estimate. COURIC: So that will at least stop it, right? ALLEN: It will contain all the oil. COURIC: But then obviously the relief wells will actually stop it for good. ALLEN: Stop it for good. Exactly right. COURIC (voice over): This is really plan B. Ideally, the latest device, the so-called capping stack, a massive piece of equipment weighing 75 tons, will stop the flow completely. But testing was delayed because scientists were worried about putting too much pressure on the drill pipe and wellbore below the sea floor. ALLEN: As we`ve now cede it had capping stack. (ph) COURIC: But after a day of intense review and debate, the test was green lighted late this afternoon. ALLEN: And at this time we`ll be releasing an order to BP to proceed with the well integrity test. COURIC: Engineers will first close off the valves on the capping stack which should trap the leak inside. With all three valves closed, they can measure the well`s pressure. A high-pressure reading of 8,000 pounds per square inch means the well is in good shape, but a low reading means oil is still coming out somewhere below. ALLEN: If we get to a point where we`re around 4,000 or 5,000 PSI and it does not rise, that`s like a garden hose where not as much water is coming off so where is it going? That might be an indication that the ... COURIC (on camera): That there are holes in that garden hose. ALLEN: The oil is going someplace else. So we won`t know until we actually close the system and start bringing the pressure up what that will tell us. It`s 8,000 on the "Q4000. COURIC (voice over): Meanwhile, a symbol of both man`s engineering ingenuity and corporate hubris, this industrial city on the water is a massive show of force waiting for its next mission. ALLEN: I don`t think there`s ever been an aggregation of drilling vessels, production vessels and vessels supporting remotely operating vehicles probably at least in the history of the Western hemisphere. Maybe the world. I think we`re really going to have to think about the systems that support offshore production and how we`re going to respond to (ph) these in the future. (END VIDEOTAPE) COURIC: Capping the well and containing the spill are a temporary fix. The permanent solution will be when those relief wells are completed in mid-August. And the leak can be plugged with drilling mud and concrete. Meanwhile, the Gulf coast is fighting a public relations battle. Mark Strassmann is in Grand Isle, Louisiana, tonight. And, Mark, there`s some misconceptions about conditions down there. MARK STRASSMANN, CBS CORRESPONDENT: Costly misperceptions, Katie, so for Gulf coast residents hearing that the well`s testing is finally on the way is good news because every delay and setback is the last thing this region`s image needs. (BEGIN VIDEOTAPE) STRASSMANN: After 11 weeks of BP`s disaster, this may come as a surprise: Mitch Jurisich still dredges perfect oys- ters because Louisiana does have some oil-free waters. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: That`s a beautiful oyster. STRASSMANN: But in New Jersey, Cheryl Stavola (ph) is afraid to order it. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: And I think as time passes I`m going to be even more afraid of it. STRASSMANN: And this seafood restaurant has redone its menu. Page 41 EVENING NEWS for July 14, 2010, CBS CBS News Transcripts July 14, 2010 Wednesday

JIM FLIP, RESTAURANT OWNER: I don`t buy Gulf products. I don`t buy Gulf shrimp. I just don`t do it. STRASSMANN: This leak`s growing stain has become the Gulf`s stigma. The reality: BP`s massive spill has blackened a fraction of the Gulf coastline. The perception, from Louisiana to Florida hotels up to 20 miles inland report a 40 percent cancellation rate. This spill has smeared the Gulf brand, including coastal communities without a drop of oil. The challenge now, convincing the rest of America that in most places here the coast is clear. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: But I know it`s all BP`s fault ... (cheers and applause). STRASSMANN: Gulf tourism is fighting back in ads ... UNIDENTIFIED MALE: There are plenty of places in Florida where you can enjoy crystal-clear waters. STRASSMANN: And personal appeals from VIPs. MICHELLE OBAMA: It`s pristine and everybody should come here. STRASSMANN: But marketing experts say this image has become the Gulf`s billboard. SCOTT PIERGROSSI, V.P. CREATIVE DEVELOPMENT, BRAND INSTITUTE: I don`t believe anything can be done from a public relations or tourism standpoint until that well is capped. STRASSMANN: But even once BP`s crisis is over, Mitch Jurisich`s anxiety could go on. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: It`s going to be very tough to get people`s confidence back in our product. STRASSMANN (on camera): No matter how good that product may be? UNIDENTIFIED MALE: No matter how good that product is. (END VIDEOTAPE) STRASSMANN: Even for Gulf Coast residents, that perception battle will take some time. Mitch Jurisich told me, for instance, right now he wouldn`t want a vacation on Florida`s beaches either. Katie? COURIC: Mark Strassmann in Grand Isle tonight. Mark, thank you very much. Now as the oil continues to spread through the Gulf, the damage grows by the day. At least 110,000 claims have been filed with BP so far and $183 million paid out. But as Kelly Cobiella tells us, tens of thousands of people are still waiting, running out of patience and money. (BEGIN VIDEOTAPE) KELLY COBIELLA, CBS CORRESPONDENT: 12 weeks into the oil spill, Karen Hopkins is desperate. KAREN HOPKINS: For the first time in my life I applied for food stamps. COBIELLA: In better days, Hopkins made $4,000 a month working for Blanchard Seafood in Grand Isle, Louisiana. But because of the fishing ban, work here has come to a halt. BP paid her $2,500 for lost wages last month and another $730 for rental assistance. Tuesday morning she was told the rental help is going away. HOPKINS: He said things are changing and we can`t do that anymore. COBIELLA: All of the employees at Blanchard Seafood live in company housing like this. It`s part of their salary. But because it doesn`t show up in income tax returns, under new BP rules, it`s not factored into compensation. HOPKINS: They`ve taken away every ounce of security that I`ve had. COBIELLA: 42,000 claims are on hold or being adjusted downward because of what BP calls insufficient paperwork. Another 13,000 are stalled because of bad contact information. DARRYL WILLIS, VICE PRESIDENT OF RESOURCES, BP AMERICA: We`re intent on getting the money out but we`ve got to continue look for ways to do it faster and we will. COBIELLA: Yet even people who keep meticulous records are battling BP. Dean Blanchard owns Blanchard Seafood. He`s lost over a million dollars in net profit already. BP has paid him a fraction of that, $165,000. It`s not nearly enough. Page 42 EVENING NEWS for July 14, 2010, CBS CBS News Transcripts July 14, 2010 Wednesday

DEAN BLANCHARD: I don`t know anybody in my business that has lost something that believes that BP made an attempt to make them whole. COBIELLA: In about three weeks, Kenneth Feinberg will be the ultimate authority on claims instead of BP. And people like Karen will have a decision to make: take a settlement or sue. HOPKINS: I feel like a criminal that`s being sentenced for a crime I didn`t commit. It`s scary. COBIELLA: With her job, her home, and her future on the line, like thousands of others here, this may be just the beginning of Karen`s nightmare. Kelly Cobiella, CBS News, Grand Isle, Louisiana. (END VIDEOTAPE) COURIC: Here in New Orleans, another story is making headlines. Three police officers pleaded not guilty today to federal civil rights charges in the shooting deaths of two unarmed men in the chaotic days following Hurricane Katrina. National correspondent Jim Axelrod has more on the investigation. (BEGIN VIDEOTAPE) JIM AXELROD, CBS CORRESPONDENT: The three policemen plus a former officer could face the death penalty if convicted on federal charges in the killing of James Brissette, shot six times on the Danziger Bridge. The fourth officer is also charged in the death of Ronald Madison, a mentally impaired man shot in the back. SHERREL JOHNSON, JAMES BRISSETTE`S MOTHER: Oh, Lord. It ripped my heart out. Even now. Excuse me. AXELROD: Some of their colleagues celebrated when the officers twice beat state charges in connection with the shooting, which happened when they responded to reports of gunfire on the bridge in the chaotic days after Hurricane Katrina. They claimed they were shot at, though no gun was found on Brissette. Since February, federal prosecutors have charged 16 current or former NOPD officers for crimes committed following Katrina. Five have already pled guilty for covering up the Brissette shooting. MAYOR MITCH LANDRIEU, NEW ORLEANS: We`re going to try to build the best police department in the country. We have a very long way to go. AXELROD: The mayor has asked the federal Justice Department for help cleaning up the New Orleans police, long plagued by what many see as a culture of corruption, including allegations of unconstitutional searches, racial profiling, and a failure to protect certain neighborhoods. There are now eight federal probes under way in New Orleans, where the mother of James Brissette wants justice. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: You killed my child, you deserve to die, too. AXELROD: And where an alarming number of those trusted to enforce the law stand accused of breaking it. Jim Axelrod, CBS News, New York. (END VIDEOTAPE) COURIC: I`ll be back from the Gulf later in the broadcast. Right now, Harry Smith in New York has more of the day`s news. Harry? HARRY SMITH, CBS NEWS ANCHOR: All right. Thanks, Katie. Tonight, we learned an FDA panel has finally made its recommendation about the controversial diabetes drug Avandia, and that is that it remain on the market but with even greater restrictions. The decision was far from unanimous, and as Dr. Jon LaPook explains, the battle over this drug is not over yet. (BEGIN VIDEOTAPE) UNIDENTIFIED MALE: So the voting results... DR. JON LAPOOK, CBS NEWS CORRESPONDENT: Today`s vote culminates years of debate over Avandia`s safety, and still opinions are deeply divided. Among patients. CHUCK KEYSERLING, PATIENT: Please think about those of us that have flourished on Avandia. LAPOOK: ...and doctors. Page 43 EVENING NEWS for July 14, 2010, CBS CBS News Transcripts July 14, 2010 Wednesday

DR. DAVID GRAHAM, AVANDIA STUDY AUTHOR: We still have increases in stroke, in heart failure. LAPOOK: In the end, a majority of the committee voted that Avandia should remain an option for patients with diabetes. In the 33-member panel, 12 voted to pull the drug off the market; 20 voted to keep it on the market, with most suggesting further restrictions. One abstained. DR. ALLISON GOLDFINE, FDA PANEL MEMBER: I did not think that the evidence was strong enough to suggest that the drug should be taken off the market. DR. RICHARD PLATT, FDA PANEL MEMBER: I think that it`s pretty clear that the public would be best served by not having the drug available. LAPOOK: The public is already speaking. Avandia sales plummeted following a 2007 study suggesting a higher risk of heart attack. The ultimate fate of the drug lies with the FDA, which usually follows the recommendations of advisory committees like this. DR. JANET WOODCOCK, FDA: I will evaluate the regulatory options available to us and will come to a decision as soon as possible, and we will announce that publicly. LAPOOK: Despite being reluctant to prescribe the drug, diabetes expert Dr. Robin Goland understands today`s decision. DR. ROBIN GOLAND: Having the drug remain on the market continues to allow an individual practitioner to weigh the possible risks-- which are now kind of long-- against the benefits in an individual patient. LAPOOK: Another question is whether the Avandia controversy will change the way the FDA approves and monitors drugs. Dr. Steven Nissen, the cardiologist who published the first warning about Avandia, wants the drug to be pulled. DR. STEVEN NISSEN, CARDIOLOGIST: The problem is the people that approved drugs in the first place are not able to dispassionately decide that they made a mistake and take the drugs off the market. (END VIDEOTAPE) LAPOOK: Dr. Nissen told me today`s vote could effectively be the end of Avandia anyway, because at the very least the FDA is expected to put such severe restrictions on its use. And there are many alternatives to this drug for people with diabetes, Harry. SMITH: Dr. Jon LaPook, thanks. Former Vice President Dick Cheney is in the hospital again, recuperating from surgery. Doctors last week installed a pump to assist his heart, damaged by coronary artery disease. Cheney, who is 69, put out a statement today saying he`d been experiencing increasing heart problems, and the pump, known as an LVAD, will allow him to resume an active life. This has been an especially deadly 24 hours for American troops in Afghanistan. Five U.S. servicemen were killed today. Three others died last night in a brazen attack by Taliban forces. In that attack, a car loaded with explosives pulled up outside police headquarters in Kandahar. It blew a hole in the exterior wall. Taliban fighters came in through the breach. A firefight went on for 20 minutes, leaving three Americans and five of their Afghan allies dead. With 36 Americans killed so far this month, July is on track to become the deadliest month in Afghanistan since the war began. Coming up next on the CBS EVENING NEWS, the NAACP accuses the Tea Party of racism, but Sarah Palin comes to the movement`s defense. SMITH: Race and politics now. The Tea Party movement has come under fire from the NAACP. The accusation: The party tolerates racism in its ranks. Here`s John Dickerson. (BEGIN VIDEOTAPE) JOHN DICKERSON, CBS CORRESOPNDENT: The Tea Party tolerates racists, says the NAACP, and these signs, allegedly made by Tea Party supporters, are proof. Members of the civil rights organization passed a resolution at their Page 44 EVENING NEWS for July 14, 2010, CBS CBS News Transcripts July 14, 2010 Wednesday annual convention calling on Tea Party leaders to repudiate those in their ranks who use racist language in their signs and speeches. REV. AL SHARPTON: The Tea Party as a political philosophy is to reverse what civil rights did, and that is saying the federal government must protect people. DICKERSON: The NAACP also claims activists shouted a racial slur at Congressman John Lewis during a health care protest last March. On her Facebook page, Sarah Palin, a supporter of the movement, called the charge false, appalling, and a regressive and diversionary tactic. Organizers of the antitax, antigovernment Tea Party movement like Matt Keabey (ph) say they have already made it clear they do not tolerate racism. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: We will not tolerate any kind of hate in our groups, and that if you see it in the community, you need to call them out. DICKERSON: But sometimes it`s the community`s leaders who go too far. The Iowa Tea Party purchased a billboard in downtown Mason City comparing Barack Obama to Hitler and Vladimir Lenin. The group has since covered it up, saying it was counterproductive. But partisans comparing a president to Hitler is not unique to the current president. And Tea Party activists say the NAACP is making this incendiary charge for political reasons. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: They`re trying to mobilize voters in an election that looks very bad for Democrats. (END VIDEOTAPE) DICKERSON: The core supporters of both political parties are now in a battle with each other over race, one of the country`s most sensitive issues, and now an already contentious election year has gotten more so. Harry? SMITH: John Dickerson in Washington tonight. Thanks. The acrimonious split between Sarah Palin`s daughter Bristol and Levi Johnston is over. In fact, they told "Us" magazine they`re engaged and hope to get married within six weeks. They say they reconciled while working out a custody plan for their 18-month-old son Tripp. SMITH: If any of us needed a reminder, news tonight that suggests it`s really not smart to be overweight. Researchers at Northwestern University say excess weight could equal less brain power. Their study of women over 65 found obesity can weaken memory, reasoning, and orientation skills. In Los Angeles, firefighters got a terrifying surprise as more than 200 of them were fighting a factory fire early this morning and explosions suddenly ripped through the building. Three firefighters were hurt. Investigators say the blast happened when water from fire hoses hit stacks of heated titanium used for making the golf clubs. Some never-before-seen photos are bound to make Beatles fans jealous. Sue Baker was just 15 years old in 1965 when she tracked down the London addresses of John, Paul, George, and Ringo, and knocked on their doors. She became a regular visitor over the next two years, using money from her paper route to finance her train trips from outside London almost every weekend. The photos, which had been gathering dust in her attic, will be sold at auction next month. A story tonight that might leave you clucking. British researchers claim they have an answer to the age-old question: Which came first -- the chicken or the egg? The scientists say they`ve discovered a protein necessary for the creation of an egg, a protein that comes only from, yes, a chicken. So, they say, the chicken had to come first. And the chicken came from? Up next, more from Katie in New Orleans. COURIC: Back now from the Gulf. It`s been nearly three months since the disaster began. Three months with progress measured in gallons of oil collected and damage claims paid, but also in the tragedies and triumphs of the Gulf`s extraordinary wildlife. Just look at Raccoon Island off the coast here in Louisiana. Last month, Cornell University researchers found it teeming with a healthy colony of pelicans and terns. But this week, a growing number of birds-- an estimated 10,000-- were tainted by oil. They may just look dirty, but for many it could be deadly. But there is also hope, the kind that fits in the palm of your hand. Using sensitive camera lights, biologists recorded 22 newly hatched baby turtles being released into the Atlantic near the Kennedy Space Center. They`re the first of about Page 45 EVENING NEWS for July 14, 2010, CBS CBS News Transcripts July 14, 2010 Wednesday

7,000 rescued from the Gulf as eggs. Under normal circumstances, one in a thousand would survive. But scientists say in the oil-smeared waters of the Gulf, all the turtles would surely die. But now these hatchlings have a fighting chance. That`s the CBS EVENING NEWS for tonight. I`m Katie Couric, reporting from New Orleans. Thank you for watching. I`ll see you tomorrow. Good night.

HIGHLIGHT: The Tropical Storm Bonnie downgraded to a depression but its path brings efforts to permanently plug the BP oil well to a halt. A major Pentagon investigation has found that dozens of military officials and contractors some with top secret clearance allegedly bought and downloaded child pornography on private and government computers. While some of the offenders have been convicted, others have never been prosecuted. Shirley Sherrod is home in Georgia, this morning quietly pondering her next career move. But the ousted Agriculture Department official does says that she would like President Obama to as she put it promote togetherness in America. Legendary newsman Daniel Schorr has died after a brief illness. He was ninety-three.

ERICA HILL: Bonnie Sits over the Ocean: The Tropical Storm Bonnie downgraded to a depression but its path brings efforts to permanently plug the BP oil well to a halt. We have the latest from the Gulf. Pentagon Porn: A shocking report finds dozens of military officials were surfing the web and downloading child pornography, although they were supposed to be defending the nation--how did it happen. We`ll take a look. Plus a look at how National Security was put at risk. That Sinking Feeling: A Milwaukee man driving his SUV plunges into a sinkhole filled with electrical wires and rising water. He is rescued with just seconds to spare. We`ll speak with the driver and his savior in an EARLY SHOW exclusive. And Ride It Like Rio: Ever have a tough time commuting in rough weather? This Brazilian guy figured a way out, his story just one of those flying Under the Radar, early this Saturday morning, July 24, 2010. ANNOUNCER: From CBS News, it`s THE EARLY SHOW on Saturday morning with Chris Wragge and Erica Hill, live from Fifth Avenue in New York City. ERICA HILL: And welcome everyone to THE EARLY SHOW on a Saturday morning. CHRIS WRAGGE: Yes, boy I tell you. It seems like every time we`re sitting here together, we`re talking about the heat outside because once again it`s going to be triple digits here-- ERICA HILL: Nonstop.

CHRIS WRAGGE: --on the East Coast. It`s going to be really tough. Hi everybody. I`m Chris Wragge along with Erica Hill. Our top story this morning, though, some good news on the storm known as Bonnie. Now this storm has been downgraded to a tropical depression but there is still a chance it could pick up steam as it heads back over the Gulf. And right now it is on a course straight for the now nearly abandoned BP oil site. ERICA HILL: And, of course, that is what everybody is watching. Bonnie was, of course, a weak tropical storm and it hit Miami. It broke up across over Florida moving into the Gulf area. So where does it stand right now? We want to get the latest from Lonnie Quinn, who`s standing by with the look at that. Lon. LONNIE QUINN: All right, Erica, then. Issues like you guys are hinting at, it`s a good news/bad news situation. Now the good news is, take a look at the satellite and radar picture--Bonnie not very impressive. Let`s talk the winds. Nation- al weather-- it`s National Hurricane Center, excuse me, has reported thirty-five mile per hour winds around the center of circulation. This is the 5 AM update. It`s moving to the West, Northwest at fifteen. Putting that center of circulation, if you can find one, about a hundred and eighty-five miles to the south of Apalachicola, Florida. Now that`s good news, not a real strong system. The bad news, that you heard Chris and Erica hinting at, is it`s moving directly over the oil slick, really curtailing the efforts there. National Hurricane Center says it could very well re-strengthening to a low- grade tropical storm. They`re talking maybe winds around forty-five miles per hour. Thirty-nine miles per hour or above you have a tropical storm. That`s what we think will be happening possibly later today making landfall somewhere around the Louisiana coast; best bet would be late tonight into early tomorrow morning, looks like about 2 AM Sunday morning. That`s the very latest on what is now Tropical Depression Bonnie. We`ll continue to follow everything. We`ll be back to a bit. But right now, Chris, let`s go back to you. CHRIS WRAGGE: All right, Lonnie. Thank you. Most of the ships working on the Gulf oil spill have now moved to safer waters ahead of that storms system, but the main concern right now is onshore. By later today, the stormy seas could trigger a surge of oil into the sensitive marsh areas along the coast. And CBS News correspondent Kelly Cobiella is in Grand Isle, Louisiana, with the very latest on that situation. Kelly, good morning. KELLY COBIELLA: Good morning, Chris. This marina is usually buzzing with oil cleanup crews getting their boats ready to go out for the day. This morning it`s just sport fisherman that`s because those cleanup operations, nearly all of them across the Gulf, have been put on hold for forty-eight hours until Monday morning as this storm moves through. The well is still shut in. But there`s a lot of oil on the water. (Begin VT) KELLY COBIELLA: The small army spread across the Gulf Coast to stop the oil cleared out in a day. Nearly all the work on the water is on hold and at BP`s well a mile undersea, some cameras have gone to black. THAD ALLEN (National Incident Commander for Gulf Oil Spill): The intention right is to put the vessels in a safe place so they can return as quickly as possible to resume their operations. KELLY COBIELLA: No new oil has spilled in more than a week but millions of gallons are still in the water. Late Fri- day, a patch loomed five miles from Louisiana`s Coast with larger slicks farther out and nothing to stop it. Even more is hidden beneath the surface. Government scientists say it`s diluted. STEVE MURAWSKI (Chief Science Advisor, NOAA Fisheries Service): If you held up a glass of this, it would look like clear seawater. KELLY COBIELLA: The oil from that undersea cloud is thirty-three hundred feet below the surface, within twelve miles of the well. Florida researchers found two more clouds in May--one forty-five miles from the well, another twenty-four miles away. And they say tests confirm the oil is from BP`s spill. The water in this bay of Grand Isle, Louisiana, looks clean now. So do the blue crabs charter fishing captain Craig Bielkiewicz caught for dinner but like so many here, he`s worried the storm could spread oil beyond the bays and marshes. Are you concerned about that? CRAIG BIELKIEWICZ (Fisherman): That`s-- yeah, most definitely. I-- you know, I don`t want it on my property. (End VT) Page 48 Bonnie Halts Plug Plans; Pentagon Porn Scandal; Sherrod Asks Obama to Promote Togetherness in America; Legendary News Reporter Daniel Schorr Passes at Age 93, CBS CBS News Transcripts July 24, 2010 Saturday

KELLY COBIELLA: Captain Craig`s concerns are shared by a lot of people here and the-- they`re hoping that this storm stays weak and if anything the waves help to break up some of that oil on the surface. Chris. CHRIS WRAGGE: CBS`s Kelly Cobiella in Grand Isle, Louisiana, for us this morning. Kelly, thank you. Now here`s, Erica. ERICA HILL: Joining us now from Houston is Doctor Don Van Nieuwenhuise. He`s director of petroleum geoscience programs at the University of Houston. Good to have you with us this morning. So as we look at Bonnie--we know it is not a severe hurricane--but even still with a storm of this size, with this power moving into the area of the oil spill, what will this do to not only the size of the spill but also to cleanup efforts there? DR. DON VAN NIEUWENHUISE (Director of Geoscience programs, University of Houston): What this strong storm will do, again it`s-- it`s not as strong as they were thinking that it might be but-- but still there will be some wave energy and wind energy that will push the-- the oil around and in a large scale the-- the action of this will actually help disperse the oil. And as it`s dispersing the oil it will actually help the bacteria degrade it even better. So in a large scale it`s a good thing. In a more local scale, it could actually push a lot of oil pockets onto shore, which could cause problems. And some of those pockets could be pushed up into the heads of estuaries and over top some of the-- the barriers that they`ve put in place to try to hold the oil back. ERICA HILL: Some of those boom barriers what`s you`re talking about-- DR. DON VAN NIEUWENHUISE (overlapping): Right, exactly. ERICA HILL: What are some-- what are some of the areas that you`re most concerned about then on that local level? DR. DON VAN NIEUWENHUISE: It would be things like the-- the small bays that you have there like mobile bay and-- and those particular areas besinds-- behind some of the barrier islands, then along the Mississippi Delta. You don`t want to get that oil pushed too far up into the-- into the marsh because again that`s a delicate environment. But there are bacteria in all of these environments that will biodegrade this oil but you don`t want large volumes of it-- ERICA HILL: Right. DR. DON VAN NIEUWENHUISE: --because that makes it hard. ERICA HILL: Vessels are going to be need to be moved out of the area, both BP and the Coast Guard working on that. How was that going to affect, though, efforts moving forward? What`s the-- what`s the time frame impact? DR. DON VAN NIEUWENHUISE: Well, based on the size of this tropical storm, it`s actually still a tropical depression, it`s probably not going to be more than forty-eight hours. It could be even less. Many of the vessels can withstand the winds, the sustained winds that they have there at this point in time. The biggest danger is when you have a lot of vessels anchored or moored near one another and the-- and the wind can change direction and cause problems with col- lisions and that sort of thing. So, basically, in this case, they probably just need to stay away from each other more than anything. But most of the vessels can withstand thirty-five knots wind and again it always depends on the sea conditions. Sometimes with these storms we get gentle swells and those aren`t too much of a problem. ERICA HILL: Hm-Mm. DR. DON VAN NIEUWENHUISE: But if you get swells with-- with choppy water that can be more difficult. ERICA HILL: A lot of factors at play here. Doctor Don Van Nieuwenhuise it was good to have you with us, this morning, thanks. DR. DON VAN NIEUWENHUISE: Thank you. ERICA HILL: Now here`s Chris with this mornings other top story. CHRIS WRAGGE: E, thank you. A major Pentagon investigation has found that dozens of military officials and contractors some with top secret clearance allegedly bought and downloaded child pornography on private and government computers. Well, some of the offenders have been convicted others have never been prosecuted. And joining us now is former internet child crimes prosecutor Hemanshu Nigam. Mister Nigam good morning to you. HEMANSHU NIGAM (Former Internet Child Crimes Prosecutor): Thanks for having me, Chris. Page 49 Bonnie Halts Plug Plans; Pentagon Porn Scandal; Sherrod Asks Obama to Promote Togetherness in America; Legendary News Reporter Daniel Schorr Passes at Age 93, CBS CBS News Transcripts July 24, 2010 Saturday

CHRIS WRAGGE: You would think the employees of the DOD would be a little bit smarter than this. HEMANSHU NIGAM: You would and what`s amazing about this is they were five thousand individuals being investigated and it turns out that dozens were top secret clearance holding government employees using government computers on government time. CHRIS WRAGGE: How vulnerable does this make our country to cyber terrorism when guys in the Department of De- fense are up to no good like this? HEMANSHU NIGAM: Well, what it does is it puts our country`s security at risk and that risk for the people watching at home. And I say that because now you`re vulnerable to bribery. You may have downloaded a virus that puts a back- door into a government system that can be used on a cyber terrorist attack or by an enemy foreign state. CHRIS WRAGGE: Now, some employees are downloading pornogri-- child pornography using their Dotmail, e-mail addresses. Did they not think that this would be traced and that`s no one would find out about this? HEMANSHU NIGAM: Well, I mean, I think the easiest way to put is you got to be an idiot doing it on government time. CHRIS WRAGGE: So what now happens and why did it take so long for the government to actually find out about this? This has been going on for quiet sometime. The SEC had a sam-- similar issue. HEMANSHU NIGAM: Well, it has been going on for some time and there`s two things that come out of it. One is--is the government using the proper monitoring, filtering, blocking systems on the government computers; and second, it takes a while to prosecute. You have to put the forensic evidence together. There were people across the country--from Dayton, California, Oklahoma, New York, Virginia--all over the country who were government contractors or top- secret cleared employees. CHRIS WRAGGE: So will there now be more prosecution ahead or-- or what happens now? HEMANSHU NIGAM: Well, from the report that came out that was redacted, a lot of areas were treated as top secret. It`s hard to tell but there`s no question. It takes a while and five thousand individuals to go after. You will continue to see more prosecutions. CHRIS WRAGGE: One of the most egregious abuses of-- of office equipment that you`ve seen in-- in your time prose- cuting cases like this? HEMANSHU NIGAM: It`s one of the worst. CHRIS WRAGGE: One of the worst. So, Nigam, thank you very much. Sobering thoughts. Too hard to believe something like this is actually going on-- HEMANSHU NIGAM: Yes. CHRIS WRAGGE: --in the government. But thank you. We do appreciate it. HEMANSHU NIGAM: Thanks for having me. CHRIS WRAGGE: All right. Now let`s check on the rest of the headlines of the day. Betty Nguyen is at the news desk for us this morning and joins us now. Hi, betty. BETTY NGUYEN: Good morning, Chris. And good morning to you at home. Shirley Sherrod is home in Georgia, this morning quietly pondering her next career move. But the ousted Agriculture Department official does says that she would like President Obama to as she put it promote togetherness in America. CBS news our correspondent Joel Brown is at the White House with more on this. Good morning, Joel. JOEL BROWN: Betty, good morning to you. The dust finally starting to settle here at the White House after this dramatic week that turned Shirley Sherrod into a household name. (Begin VT) ERICA HILL: Something greater. How does that make you feel as a person? JOEL BROWN: After a rapid-fire week of interviews-- SHIRLEY SHERROD: I made the statements. Page 50 Bonnie Halts Plug Plans; Pentagon Porn Scandal; Sherrod Asks Obama to Promote Togetherness in America; Legendary News Reporter Daniel Schorr Passes at Age 93, CBS CBS News Transcripts July 24, 2010 Saturday

ERICA HILL: Mm-Hm. SHIRLEY SHERROD: I told the story. It was just unbelievable, unbelievable to me. This has been a whirlwind, you know, so much has happened. JOEL BROWN: --and apologies. ROBERT GIBBS (White House Press Secretary): Without a doubt, Miss Sherrod is owed an apology. I would do so certainly on behalf of this administration. TOM VILSACK: I started off by extending to her my personal and profound apologies. JOEL BROWN: Shirley Sherrod returned home to Georgia, and went silent as the U.S. Department of Agriculture waits to hear what`s next in her career. Sherrod became the center of attention when conservative blogger Andrew Breitbart posted an edited tape of a speech she gave to NAACP. Sherrod was forced to resign her position at the USDA; but when the full tape emerged, the apologies began mounting culminating with a call from the President. SHIRLEY SHERROD: I`ve been dealing with some of the same issues he`s had to deal with. JOEL BROWN: Now the administration and the nation wait to see whether this formerly obscure government worker will return to a job with the department that once let her go. SHIRLEY SHERROD: --within-- (End VT) JOEL BROWN: And the Sherrod affair overshadowed much of the White House agenda last week. Look for the Presi- dent Obama to try and turn the page next week with a major speech on education reform and a trip to Detroit to talk about jobs. Betty. BETTY NGUYEN: Joel Brown at the White House this morning for us. Thank you, Joel. Well, four American service members were killed this morning in a bombing in southern Afghanistan. That`s where U.S. forces are leading a major offensive against the Taliban. Today`s deaths bring the number of Americans killed in Afghanistan this month to fifty-two. The former commander of U.S. forces in Afghanistan has retired. General Stanley McChrystal was given a hero`s send- off Friday at Fort McNair in Washington. His career spanned thirty-four years. President Obama relieved McChrystal off the Afghan command last month after McChrystal was quoted in Rolling Stone magazine criticizing administration officials. And we at CBS News want to note the passing of a former colleague-- legendary newsman Daniel Schorr has died after a brief illness. He was ninety-three. Jim Axelrod has his story. (Begin VT) DANIEL SCHOOR: This is Daniel Schorr in Moscow. JIM AXELROD: Daniel Schorr was an old-school broadcast journalist. In fact, he was the last working reporter who`d been one of Edward R. Morrow`s boys. DANIEL SCHORR: My territory is Central Europe, the region that straddles the Iron Curtain. JIM AXELROD: He joined CBS in 1953, opened the Moscow Bureau in `55 and left in 1957, after his application for a new visa was denied by the Soviets following his interview with Nikita Khrushchev. DANIEL SCHORR: I bring this down to a concrete question because it leads towards disarmament. JIM AXELROD: He continued working for CBS in Washington, ending up on Richard Nixon`s enemies list during Watergate, which he always called his greatest achievement. DANIEL SCHORR: And at one point he got so mad at me that he called J. Edgar Hoover, and had had Hoover launch an investigation of me trying to get some dirt on me. JIM AXELROD: Born in the Bronx, son of Russian immigrants, Schorr clashed not only with government officials, but news management and left CBS in 1976 after an uproar over his reports on the CIA. Schorr was the first reporter Ted Page 51 Bonnie Halts Plug Plans; Pentagon Porn Scandal; Sherrod Asks Obama to Promote Togetherness in America; Legendary News Reporter Daniel Schorr Passes at Age 93, CBS CBS News Transcripts July 24, 2010 Saturday

Turner hired when he started CNN in 1979. And Schorr joined NPR in 1985 as a senior news analyst. He never stopped working there. His last week in review was just two weeks ago. Scott Simon, the host of the NPR program where Schorr delivered his analysis, said Dan Schorr was around from the Russian Revolution to the digital revolution. Simon could have added and we were all better informed for it. Jim Axelrod, CBS news, New York. (End VT) BETTY NGUYEN: And he will be missed. Let`s shift gears now. Lonnie Quinn is here with the first check of the weather on this Saturday morning. Good morning, Lonnie. LONNIE QUINN: Yeah. You know, you heard Chris and Erica talking about it a little bit earlier in the news cast that it`s going to get really hot out there. That`s all part of the story, but what I to touch upon, the headlines out there. Bon- nie is in the Gulf of Mexico. Now a tropical depression right now. All right. It is forecast to strengthen to a weak tropical storm later today as it pushes right over that area of the oil slick. Things heat up in the East. Monsoon rains taking place in the Southwest. You can see a little bit of that moisture in the Southwestern that I`m referring to. But it`s up around the Great Lakes, where we see the heaviest rain. You want to talk, though, the eastern half of the country because that`s where we see the big-time heat today. I`m talking New York City, over to Pittsburgh, Nashville, Charles- ton. We are talking about feels-like temperatures out there between a hundred and a hundred and ten degrees. This entire area shaded in red is under a heat warning with the exception of the very spine of the Blue Ridge Mountains eleva- tion of cooling keeping it a little bit below that warning level. High humidity is the cause of temperatures soaring on your thermometers. That`s a quick look at a portion of the country. Here`s a closer look at the weather for your weekend. (LOCAL WEATHER BREAK) LONNIE QUINN: Wherever you are-- I will say where we are-- CHRIS WRAGGE: Yeah. LONNIE QUINN: --got a little dicey last night, it happens very rarely, but New York City had a tornado warning. I mean it`s tough to get like rotation because of the big buildings-- ERICA HILL: Right. CHRIS WRAGGE: Yes. LONNIE QUINN: --in the city. We had a tornado warning in effect until one o`clock in the morning. ERICA HILL: Wow. LONNIE QUINN: This is like never happens in-- ERICA HILL: With incredible thunderstorm, too. It is great to watch walking in my apartment. I loved it. (Cross talking) LONNIE QUINN: What a light show, huh? I mean, unbelievable looking at. ERICA HILL: Sheets of water-- LONNIE QUINN: Hot today. CHRIS WRAGGE: Yeah. ERICA HILL: --if only it cooled it off, Lonnie, but no. LONNIE QUINN: We`ll Chris at the beach, the beach. CHRIS WRAGGE: Staying-- staying inside today. Page 52 Bonnie Halts Plug Plans; Pentagon Porn Scandal; Sherrod Asks Obama to Promote Togetherness in America; Legendary News Reporter Daniel Schorr Passes at Age 93, CBS CBS News Transcripts July 24, 2010 Saturday

ERICA HILL: Still ahead this morning, we have an exclusive interview with the man who survived this sinkhole in Milwaukee. Had just filled up the car, he sees a streetlight sinking into the ground and before he knows it, he and the Cadillac, down they go. How did he get out? He`s here with his rescuer to tell us. CHRIS WRAGGE: Which way did he go? Which way did he go? And also know the President of the United States, how about the receptionist of the United States? The gatekeeper to the West Wing, Ava Brown, is with us this morning and she has an exclusive behind-the-scenes view of this incredible position. ERICA HILL: Talk about a position of power. CHRIS WRAGGE: And you know what, where`re you sheltering your money these days? ERICA HILL: Under my mattress. CHRIS WRAGGE: We`ll you know that may not be our top five, but we`re going to give you five foolproof ways to actually put your money in a spot where you can see some growth. ERICA HILL: We`ll make a little money in this economy. I like it. CHRIS WRAGGE: Say nice. ERICA HILL: Stay with us. This is THE EARLY SHOW on CBS. (ANNOUNCEMENTS) CHRIS WRAGGE: Let`s talk a little money right now and a very bumpy ride on Wall Street this past week with the Dow dropping more than one hundred points on Wednesday, but then surging more than two hundred on Thursday, ending the week one hundred two points on the upside. And as always in volatile times people look for safe havens for their money. And CBS News and economics correspondent Rebecca Jarvis is here with some suggestions for you. Eve- rybody thinks, okay, how do you protect that principal? So how do you protect your principal in volatile times like this? REBECCA JARVIS (CBS News Business and Economics Correspondent): Well, first off, Chris, you really have to be selective and you also have to give yourself a broad basket of things. Don`t put all your eggs in one basket. And also know that when you give that money up beyond the bank, beyond-- underneath the mattress, principal protection is not always easy to do and it`s not one hundred percent guaranteed. CHRIS WRAGGE: And don`t forget you have no control over your money once you relinquish it. So we now have five safe havens for your money and let`s start with Blue Chip stocks. REBECCA JARVIS: Yeah, Blue Chip dividend-paying stocks are some of the more conservative stocks out there. There`re companies like Johnson & Johnson, Walmart--companies that have withstood the test of time. These companies they tend not to give you know major upside to investors but they also tend not to give major downside. And that`s what you are looking for in a market and in economy like this. Also if you have a struggle in terms of picking out which dividend play you are looking for you can find a fund or an ETF that will give you access to all the dividend stocks out there and that`s a good thing to do too. CHRIS WRAGGE: And dividends for the folks at home that maybe aren`t familiar with that, that`s a little kick-back, right? REBECCA JARVIS: So little bonus payment, yeah. CHRIS WRAGGE: Right, a little kickback. REBECCA JARVIS: Exactly. CHRIS WRAGGE: But also even with these Blue Chip stocks, you still have to be subject to a little even follows. So you have to be a little patient out there as well. REBECCA JARVIS: You do. CHRIS WRAGGE: Let`s talk about corporate bonds now. That`s position two. REBECCA JARVIS: Yeah, corporate bonds are IOUs from companies-- CHRIS WRAGGE: Yeah. Page 53 Bonnie Halts Plug Plans; Pentagon Porn Scandal; Sherrod Asks Obama to Promote Togetherness in America; Legendary News Reporter Daniel Schorr Passes at Age 93, CBS CBS News Transcripts July 24, 2010 Saturday

REBECCA JARVIS: --they`re saying we`ll pay you back your principal over a period of time with a particular rate of return on that period of time. And what you want to think about when you`re looking at corporate bonds on the conservative side is look for companies with a rating of A or higher. This is their rating from the financial overseers in the markets and they`re telling you these are companies that are healthier than some of the companies out there. CHRIS WRAGGE: Think if you`re going to a restaurant in New York or Los Angeles. Look for that. REBECCA JARVIS: Exactly. CHRIS WRAGGE: Okay, floating rate funds. What are these? REBECCA JARVIS: Okay, so floating rate funds are funds that are going to pay you more as interest rates go higher. Right now, interest rates are at all-time lows. So what you can, basically, safely bet is that out in the future, rates are going to be going higher and you will make money on these funds over the course of time. CHRIS WRAGGE: Stable value funds? REBECCA JARVIS: Okay, these are something that you are going to find in your 401(k). So if you are invested in a 401(k), your company, look for a stable value fund. They are one step above your cash savings, your money market savings. They tend to return a little bit more. Last quarter, they did about three percent in terms of their returns and they`re stable. CHRIS WRAGGE: Yep, Okay. And this is a good, too. High-yield savings because I know my man, Lonnie Quinn, actually just went got himself a high- yield savings at a local bank and you think that`s the kind of the way to go. REBECCA JARVIS: Yes. We all eat locally; we can bank locally, too. And that`s a really good thing in terms of keeping your money and growing it a little bit faster. High-yield savings accounts can also be found beyond your community bank at bankrate.com. So check it out because there are about double what you would get from a normally savings account. CHRIS WRAGGE: Wasn`t there a little fear, though, about a year and a half ago that some of these banks would go under so everyone went with really the more popular, big brand banks? REBECCA JARVIS: Yes. Well, there was, but now under the new financial regulatory reforms we have a guaranteed protection on two hundred and fifty thousand dollars in the bank at any bank in the United States that`s FDIC- insured. CHRIS WRAGGE: Great. Rebecca Jarvis. Thank you very much. REBECCA JARVIS: Thanks, Chris. CHRIS WRAGGE: And great tips right there. Up next, from a putrid plant to a South American street surfer, we are taking you Under the Radar. You talk about a safe place to put your money Under the Radar is where it`s at folks. You`re watching THE EARLY SHOW, next here on CBS. SUSAN KOEPPEN: Hey, did you know, saving money on gas can be as easy as changing the way you drive. Driving the speed limit and using cruise control can reduce your gas consumption by up to fourteen percent. For THE EARLY SHOW this Saturday morning, I`m Susan Koeppen. (ANNOUNCEMENTS) CHRIS WRAGGE: As we get our papers ready, are you ready to go? We need to be buckled in-- ERICA HILL (overlapping): I did a lot of preparations for this segment. CHRIS WRAGGE: --be buckled in for this segment. It`s what, well, we feel and I know many out there feel one of the most famous segments in all of morning televisions and we`re just basically-- ERICA HILL: One of the mostly anticipated. CHRIS WRAGGE: --we are the gatekeepers for it. We call it Under the Radar. And let`s begin with Japanese beatbox- er, Hikakin, whose his new video features an incredible medley Super Mario by the same music. Now listen to some of these sensational sounds for just a moment (INDISTINCT). (YouTube video) Page 54 Bonnie Halts Plug Plans; Pentagon Porn Scandal; Sherrod Asks Obama to Promote Togetherness in America; Legendary News Reporter Daniel Schorr Passes at Age 93, CBS CBS News Transcripts July 24, 2010 Saturday

CHRIS WRAGGE: (LAUGHING) I`d say that was a little-- little confusing. I apologize for that. That`s Hikakin. And so far three million views on YouTube for this vocal virtuoso. ERICA HILL: And just beginning I think. Check this out, professional kite surfer. This guy is ranked sixth in the world. This will give you an idea of why. CHRIS WRAGGE: Hmm. ERICA HILL: Reno Romeo didn`t let a little rain dampen his spirits. What do you do when it rains like that? Umm, why don`t you just take to the streets? CHRIS WRAGGE: Yeah, right. ERICA HILL: Here he`s in his native Rio de Janeiro doing a little wakeboarding. (INDISTINCT) whether he broke Brazilian traffic laws on his wet-- CHRIS WRAGGE: Did-- ERICA HILL: --and wild ride. Is he wearing a seat belt? CHRIS WRAGGE: Do they have traffic laws in Brazil? ERICA HILL: Did you investigate that? CHRIS WRAGGE: We may have to look into that for next week. ERICA HILL: I think we should go to Brazil to find out. CHRIS WRAGGE: He`s got it going on, though, that was pretty good. ERICA HILL: Not bad. CHRIS WRAGGE: All right. And in Tokyo, a story that really, really stinks. Thousands are lining up this weekend to see and smell a rare giant flower that`s blooming for the very first time in twenty years. And when we say smell, we mean smell because the plant with its pungent odor has been described as cross between raw cabbage and rotting meat. ERICA HILL: Lovely. CHRIS WRAGGE: I don`t know if it`s something worst than that. Now, do not think of getting this flower for Mother`s Day, Valentine`s Day or any other special occasion unless you`re really trying to send an unpleasant message. I have not smelled something that bad since we got a whiff of Lonnie`s new cologne this morning-- ERICA HILL: Oh-- CHRIS WRAGGE: --which was probably as putrid as they get when it comes to cologne. I don`t even know if it`s actually an official cologne. I mean, we may have to go check it out. ERICA HILL: You bet. LONNIE QUINN: You did Pepe Le Pew. ERICA HILL: All of the Pepe Le Pew says Lonnie. CHRIS WRAGGE: Yes. So that`s-- that`s this week`s Under the Radar. I hope you enjoyed it. ERICA HILL: Good stuff as always. CHRIS WRAGGE: Yeah. Guess what? When we come back, this sinkhole story, incredible pictures. We`re going to talk exclusively in just a couple of minutes. (ANNOUNCEMENTS)

SECTION: NEWS; International

LENGTH: 3408 words

HIGHLIGHT: Examining STDs. Teens and YouTube videos.

JULIE CHEN: Welcome back to THE EARLY SHOW. I`m Julie Chen with Harry Smith and Erica Hill. Coming up, our doctor Jennifer Ashton is here to set the record straight about a very common sexually transmitted virus but one with lots of misinformation and myths surrounding it. HARRY SMITH: Plus, we all know that teens can do some stupid stuff but there is a growing concern that some are trying to copy more dangerous video on sites like YouTube. We`re going to talk to a child psychologist about what you can do to make sure your kids don`t do dumb things. ERICA HILL: First though, Chris Wragge is standing by at the news desk with another check of the headlines. Hey, Chris. CHRIS WRAGGE: All right, guys. Thank you very much. Good morning and good morning to you. President Obama meets with BP executives this morning at the White House. It`s their fist meeting since the Gulf oil spill began. Gov- ernment scientists now estimate up to two and a half million gallons of oil a day are spilling into the Gulf. That`s an amount equal to the Exxon Valdez spill every four days. Now, during his speech last night the President pushed for a new energy policy and the President says he`ll tell BP to set aside a compensation fund to pay for the disaster it`s created. PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA: I will meet with the chairman of BP and inform him that he is to set aside whatever resources are required to compensate the workers and business owners who`ve been harmed as a result of this company`s recklessness. CHRIS WRAGGE: For how the people of the Gulf reacted to the President`s speech last night let`s go to CBS News correspondent Kelly Cobiella who is standing by in Orange Beach, Alabama, for us this morning. Kelly, good morning. KELLY COBIELLA: Good morning, Chris. Reaction across the Gulf Coast was mixed but most people agree on one thing: they want action, not promises. (Begin VT) KELLY COBIELLA: At Wintzell`s Restaurant in Orange Beach, the oil is on the marquee, on the TV, and on the minds of customers. DAN BRADY: He is right at one point. BP does need to be held accountable. Page 57 For June 16, 2010, CBS CBS News Transcripts June 16, 2010 Wednesday

KELLY COBIELLA: Dan and Jessica Brady are on vacation for Mississippi. JESSICA BRADY (Stringer, MS): We`ve been in the water today and when we get out of the water there`s oil on our legs and so, there`s tar balls on the beach. KELLY COBIELLA: The threat of oil and the random wash-ups on the Gulf`s white sand have killed this region`s tourist season. CLAY SUTER (Louisville, KY): It`s taking a toll on, you know, the restaurants and the golf courses and pretty much anywhere you go. KELLY COBIELLA: When President Obama promised the federal government is doing all it can to fix BP`s mess, fifty-seven days into the spill, many here wished he had said it about fifty days earlier. SHERMAN LAKE (Orange Beach, Alabama): I`m glad he came out but you know little earlier would have been nice. KELLY COBIELLA: They`re worried about dispersants in the water, claims going unpaid and seeing action after the President`s speech. MIKE STANFIELD (Huntsville, Alabama): And I didn`t listen to it. I`m not interested in the words. I want to see what happens to try and stop this. (End VT) KELLY COBIELLA: BP released a statement after the President`s address saying they share his goals of stopping the flow, cleaning the oil, and mitigating the impact on the people and environment of the Gulf Coast. Chris? CHRIS WRAGGE: CBS`s Kelly Cobiella in Orange Beach, Alabama, for us this morning. Kelly, thank you. In other news now Gary Faulkner, an American who is said to be on a mission to kill Osama bin Laden remains held in Pakistan this morning. His family is defending him. DR. SCOTT FAULKNER (Gary Faulkner`s Brother): He`s not insane, as a physician I can attest to that. He`s not psy- chotic, he doesn`t schizophrenia, he doesn`t have pictures of Osama bin Laden plastered all over his apartment. He`s as normal as you and I. He`s just very passionate. CHRIS WRAGGE: Faulkner, a devout Christian, is being questioned in Pakistan. Officials there say he`s being ex- amined by a doctor after his family warned he had kidney problems and needed dialysis. Now, Katie Couric has a preview of tonight`s CBS EVENING NEWS. KATIE COURIC: Good morning. Business is booming, literally. How the desperate need to contain the Gulf Oil spill has rescued one small town`s economy. We`ll have that story and more, tonight only on the CBS EVENING NEWS. Now, back to THE EARLY SHOW. CHRIS WRAGGE: And now it is time for another check of the weather today and let`s head outside to Dave Price. Hey, Dave. DAVE PRICE: Chris, how are you? Got a bunch of lovely ladies out here you know, a lot of people bringing Flat Stan- ley. They brought Flat-- WOMAN: Urho. DAVE PRICE: --from Minnesota. Nice to see you. Where in Minnesota? WOMAN: Menahga, Minnesota. DAVE PRICE: Menahga, Minnesota. Nice to see you. WOMAN: Thank you. DAVE PRICE: All right. Let`s take a check of the weather. Oh, I`m glad. Make yourself at home. Let`s put up the graphics right now. See what`s happening all across the country, shall we? Looks like we`ve got some high heat in places still like Georgia. It is not as steamy as it was but, keep in mind, it is going to be warm. Temperature ninety-two degrees in Atlanta. It`s going to be ninety-four in Miami, ninety-one in New Page 58 For June 16, 2010, CBS CBS News Transcripts June 16, 2010 Wednesday

Orleans, so still high humidity. And look at that Dallas, just up close and personal to one hundred degrees but not getting there. In the Northeast you`re going to see some rain rolling. That`s coming from the Ohio Valley. Western Penn- sylvania, you`re going to get it earlier in the day. Down to the Carolinas as well and some rough weather potentially in, again, areas right around the Tetons. Keep in mind, some of that stuff could be on the rough side. Southwest looks gorgeous, though. That`s a quick look at our weather. Hello to everyone, in making Georgia this morning on Houston Avenue. Here`s an early look at what`s going on in your area. (LOCAL WEATHER BREAK) DAVE PRICE: That`s quick look at our weather picture. Beverly and I are going to send it into you, Harry. HARRY SMITH: Thanks, Dave. Every day more than two billion video clips are viewed on YouTube. And while it`s fun to share the latest viral video, some experts fear sites like YouTube may be hazardous to your children`s health. CBS News correspondent Betty Nguyen has the story. And we want to warn you some of the video you`re about to see is disturbing. (Begin VT) (Excerpt from a YouTube video) BETTY NGUYEN: From fireballs to car surfing, these daredevil stunts may be entertaining to watch but they`re dangerous and doctors say they`re inspiring a growing number of copycats who want to post their own videos. So, when it comes to injuries from stunts like these, how much are they increased? DR. HANI MANSOUR (St. Barnabas Medical Center): Yeah. Four folds. BETTY NGUYEN: That increase is a concern to burn specialist Doctor Hani Mansour. The injuries he sees from kids trying to pull off these outrageous acts can be quite severe. DR. HANI MANSOUR: They usually have their face or their hands that are burned so, there is disfigurement and there is loss of function. BETTY NGUYEN: Ten-year-old Ryan Gooding of Florida suffered a fractured nose, second-degree chemical burns, and need of reconstructive surgery. This, after he tried to copy a YouTube video like this one, an experiment mixing vinegar and baking soda. RYAN GOODING (Attempted to Copy a YouTube Stunt): My friend actually made it in my kitchen which then he told-- we went outside and he told me to throw it and I threw it and then it blew out on my face. BETTY NGUYEN: A quick internet search shows how easy it was for Ryan to find. The term fire tricks leads to over five thousand dangerous demos. So, what he`s doing? Is he actually teaching people how to swallow flames? DR. HANI MANSOUR: Right. BETTY NGUYEN: Well, Doctor Mansour is quick to point out that teens have always flirted with danger looking for the next thrill, it now seems they`re upping the stakes all in the name of internet glory. SONYA GOODING (Ryan`s Mother): It just broke my heart into pieces you know that something like this you know could happen. You know, maybe that-- that wouldn`t have happened had we had a little bit more control. BETTY NGUYEN: For Ryan`s mother Sonya it`s a lesson she hopes others won`t have to learn. Betty Nguyen, CBS News, New York. (End VT) HARRY SMITH: Joining us now child physiologist and EARLY SHOW contributor Doctor Jenifer Hartstein. Good morning. DR. JENNIFER HARTSTEIN (Child and Adolescent Pyschologist): Good morning. Page 59 For June 16, 2010, CBS CBS News Transcripts June 16, 2010 Wednesday

HARRY SMITH: This-- from time immemorial teens have done dumb stuff, right? DR. JENNIFER HARTSTEIN: Correct. Teens are always doing it. HARRY SMITH: Because why? DR. JENNIFER HARTSTEIN: There`s a developmental reason. It`s part of the brain development-- HARRY SMITH: Mm-Hm. DR. JENNIFER HARTSTEIN: --it`s not quite totally there in their judgment and in their ability to not make impulsive choices. HARRY SMITH: Right. DR. JENNIFER HARTSTEIN: So, they are doing lots of risky things. HARRY SMITH: Mm-Hm. DR. JENNIFER HARTSTEIN: And they have done it, you know, for all time-- HARRY SMITH: Time immemorial, right? DR. JENNIFER HARTSTEIN: --exactly. HARRY SMITH: Does it seem to you, though, because of, what we have access to in terms of wow, I want to try that, because of the internet that they`re-- they`re trying more dangerous things? DR. JENNIFER HARTSTEIN: I think so there`s more excess. HARRY SMITH: Hmm. DR. JENNIFER HARTSTEIN: When, you were, you know, ten fifteen, twenty years ago, you had your group of friends and you came up with crazy stunts. HARRY SMITH: Mm-Hm. DR. JENNIFER HARTSTEIN: Now, you can say, I wonder, if or you can google fireballs or fire tricks and all of this stuff comes up. So, they have access. And then they`re learning or figuring out or knowing how to one up and then that`s really where the risk comes in. HARRY SMITH: Sure. DR. JENNIFER HARTSTEIN: Oh, if they can do it, well, I can take it to the next level and post it on YouTube and get some fame or notoriety. HARRY SMITH: Yeah. And this one looks so innocent, for instance, the kid, they like the basketball, and further see what`s going to happen, the guy kicks the ball, the next thing you know, the guy is on fire. DR. JENNIFER HARTSTEIN: Right. HARRY SMITH: And no one is really sitting around there saying, well, what do we do, when we catch on fire. They-- they may think what about the stunt and this is crazy and it`s dangerous. Nobody is thinking about the next step. DR. JENNIFER HARTSTEIN: No, it`s all in the moment. Adolescents feel like they are invincible. HARRY SMITH: Mm-Hm. DR. JENNIFER HARTSTEIN: We know this. And they are really in the moment a lot of the time. HARRY SMITH: Right. DR. JENNIFER HARTSTEIN: So, hey, this sounds like a good idea right now. Ten minutes later when they could stop and think about it, they might realize not such a good idea. HARRY SMITH: All right. So, the ante has been upped because of access to all these kinds of information. DR. JENNIFER HARTSTEIN: Right. Page 60 For June 16, 2010, CBS CBS News Transcripts June 16, 2010 Wednesday

HARRY SMITH: As parents then, how do you counsel your children to say, I know you`re a teenager, you`re going to do some stupid stuff but don`t be this stupid because you can really get hurt. DR. JENNIFER HARTSTEIN: Right. It`s so hard, because teens aren`t always going to listen. HARRY SMITH: Mm-Hm. DR. JENNIFER HARTSTEIN: And what you really need to do is figure out what they`re watching and talk to them about why this is risky, why this might not be a good idea. HARRY SMITH: Right. DR. JENNIFER HARTSTEIN: And how they really could get hurt, because they are not thinking long term. HARRY SMITH: Right. DR. JENNIFER HARTSTEIN: Burns, scars, all that stuff. HARRY SMITH: Poke your eye out, right? I mean, is that sort of refrain but at the same time kids get to be, you know, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen years old, they come home, they`re after school. They look this stuff. They`re just out-- I mean they are in it. It`s not like they went off miles away to try this. The guy is right in his backyard. DR. JENNIFER HARTSTEIN: In his backyard. And so parents need to stop them immediately if they see any of it happening and talk about how to keep himself safe. HARRY SMITH: All right. Doctor Jennifer Hartstein, thank you very much. Up next, a look at the most common sexually transmitted infection and why people don`t want to talk about it. This is THE EARLY SHOW on CBS. (ANNOUNCEMENTS) JULIE CHEN: In this morning`s HealthWatch understanding HPV, the human papillomavirus. The numbers are alarming. It affects about eighty percent of all women by the age of fifty. Our Doctor Jennifer Ashton is here with more. Good morning, Jen. DR. JENNIFER ASHTON: Good morning, Julie. You know, HPV may be the most common sexually transmitted infection, but it`s also the least understood. So we sat down with four young women to talk about their thoughts and concerns. (Begin VT) WOMAN #1: I think it`s important that people start talking about it and start being honest. WOMAN #2: How are you? WOMAN #3: I`d like to ask the doctor, if you do get HPV, is it curable or will it always be there? Coffee and HPV discussion? WOMAN #4: This is something that we all need to know because in the end eighty percent of us are going to get it. DR. JENNIFER ASHTON: What do you think some of the myths are about HPV? WOMAN #4: That you`re promiscuous, if you have it because it just takes you know one time, one person, and you don`t even have to have sex. DR. JENNIFER ASHTON: Exactly, and not even necessarily actual sexual intercourse but just skin to skin contact, you can get it. WOMAN #1: Up until a year ago, I thought none of my friends had had it. And when I started talking to them, you know four or five of my friends said, you know, oh, I have HPV or I had HPV. DR. JENNIFER ASHTON: Does it make you feel better now knowing that HPV is so common. Do you think it-- it lessens the social stigma? ELIZABETH BRIDENSTEIN: I think it does because it made me less embarrassed. Page 61 For June 16, 2010, CBS CBS News Transcripts June 16, 2010 Wednesday

DR. JENNIFER ASHTON: So you have HPV? It was picked up on routine GYN, does it? ELIZABETH BRIDENSTEIN: Yeah, I just went and got a pap smear and then, you know, everything is fine and then they just say, Hi, Elizabeth, you have precancerous cells on your cervix and I`m like I don`t know what this means. This was like three years ago, like I had no idea. DR. JENNIFER ASHTON: How did you feel emotionally when you got that call? What was-- ELIZABETH BRIDENSTEIN: I was shattered. I like, I just started sobbing. I didn`t know if my life is over. I didn`t know if I had cancer. DR. JENNIFER ASHTON: The good news is most people ninety percent of healthy people clear this virus on their own, might take up to three years which is why they probably said we`re going to follow you really closely but the majority of cases go away on their own, they don`t become cancer. REBECCA BOWE: Well, from everything I`ve heard, once you have HPV you have it the rest of your life. Is that true, like can it go away? DR. JENNIFER ASHTON: Well, remember, also that HPV, you may have heard or learned that there`s over a hundred different subtypes. So, sometimes it can stay latent in your body. You know, dormant, kind of a sleep and be reactivated much later in life. But, most of the time, you know, you clear that type. But then again there are ninety-nine pulse other types that you can still be exposed to. WOMAN #1: What are the effects on fertility with HPV? DR. JENNIFER ASHTON: Well, that`s another great question. Obviously, in extreme cases if it goes on to cause cervical cancer that going to have an impact on a woman`s fertility. But just being infected or exposed to the HPV virus in an of itself for the vast majority of young women when they clear the virus on their own, doesn`t really have any known impact on fertility down the road. ELIZABETH BRIDENSTEIN: But what if it`s been three years and it comes back, does that mean? DR. JENNIFER ASHTON: When you`re talking about something, that`s microscopic that can have no symptoms that is so, so common then you see why it`s so easy for people to get it and that`s why I think one of the biggest take homes is you have to see a gynecologist every year, it`s really important. Thanks so much. You guys were really, really great. WOMAN #1: Thank you. (End VT) JULIE CHEN: I have more questions. What are the symptoms of HPV if you have it? DR. JENNIFER ASHTON: Well, that`s the thing, Julie, most of the time it`s microscopic and asymptomatic, so it might not give you any symptoms unless there`s an overt or obvious genital wart there. JULIE CHEN: So, does a routine Pap smear show you have this or is there a specific test, you should be asking your doctor for to test for it? DR. JENNIFER ASHTON: Well, yes and yes. They`re-- the vast majority of Pap smears done in women over the age of thirty automatically will test for the HPV virus; however, there is a separate test which you can ask for but mot of the time in younger women, women in their twenties, gynecologists don`t even test for HPV because it`s presumed or as- sumed that so many of those young women will have it. JULIE CHEN: My goodness. Can you prevent it? DR. JENNIFER ASHTON: Well, that`s the million-dollar question, right? The only way to prevent it for sure is complete abstinence because again it can be passed by skin to skin contact, not just sexual intercourse but other ways for prevention, delaying onset of sexual activity until older age, minimizing your lifetime number of sexual partners. Ob- viously, using condoms are important and then there is the vaccine as well. JULIE CHEN: What`s the treatment if you get it? Page 62 For June 16, 2010, CBS CBS News Transcripts June 16, 2010 Wednesday

DR. JENNIFER ASHTON: That`s actually the bright spot in this whole thing, Julie, is that the vast majority of cases will go away with no treatment. They need follow up by a physician but they don`t need treatment. Some cases, however, of HPV or their manifestations like things like warts or pre-cancer of the cervix will need treatment and it could be anything from creams to acid to laser to in some cases surgery. So, it could be significant. JULIE CHEN: Now, obviously, men get it too, right, because aren`t they the one spreading it? DR. JENNIFER ASHTON: That`s right. It`s not just a women`s issue and they-- they are the vectors for transmission, as we say in medicine. So men need to be aware of this and HPV we have to remember is the cause for not just cervical cancer, most of the time, but throat cancer, anal cancer, vulvar cancer, penile cancer. So, this is an issue that men need to be aware of. And recently, the vaccine was approved for boys and young men. JULIE CHEN: Wow. So it can be deadly, potentially, it could be deadly in both men and women. DR. JENNIFER ASHTON: Exactly. It`s a real significant health issue, Julie. JULIE CHEN: A lot to learn about. Doctor Jennifer Ashton, thank you. DR. JENNIFER ASHTON: You bet, Jules. JULIE CHEN: We will be right back. You`re watching THE EARLY SHOW on CBS. (ANNOUNCEMENTS) JULIE CHEN: Woo, I like the music ERICA HILL: It`s club EARLY SHOW. JULIE CHEN: Yeah, Harry is getting down, okay. So in our next half hour, we`re doing this story. We`re doing a segment, rather-- HARRY SMITH: Mm-Hm. JULIE CHEN: --on how things everyone has in their home. HARRY SMITH: Common household items. JULIE CHEN: Common household items can be used as cleaning products. HARRY SMITH: Mm-Hm. JULIE CHEN: So who is ready for little Julie Chen quiz? DAVE PRICE: Oh yes, we`re-- we`re-- we`re ready ERICA HILL: Always ready. JULIE CHEN: Okay, true or false. CHRIS WRAGGE: False ERICA HILL: Wragge, stop peeking. CHRIS WRAGGE: I`m not looking. ERICA HILL: He can`t be trusted. JULIE CHEN: True or false, ketchup can be used as a cleaning product in the home. DAVE PRICE: True. ERICA HILL: I say true. JULIE CHEN: (INDISTINCT) or false CHRIS WRAGGE: I`m going to stay with false. HARRY SMITH: False. JULIE CHEN: True. Page 63 For June 16, 2010, CBS CBS News Transcripts June 16, 2010 Wednesday

ERICA HILL: The acidity in the tomato. JULIE CHEN: I`m not going to tell you why I`m going to move on to the next- - the next question true or false. JULIE CHEN: Worcestershire sauce can also be used as a cleaning product in the house. DAVE PRICE: True. JULIE CHEN: Erica? ERICA HILL: I`m going to go false. DAVE PRICE: False. HARRY SMITH: False CHRIS WRAGGE: False. JULIE CHEN: Also true and they both clean the same product and we are going to reveal. DAVE PRICE: I use it in my toilets. HARRY SMITH: And wait, wait, wait. And-- and so-- and your beautiful waitress, can we put some ketchup and Wor- cestershire sauce on-- on the dressing and-- (ANNOUNCEMENTS)

EMILY SMITH: Landfall: Hurricane Alex roars ashore near the Mexican border, swamping South Texas and disrupting cleanup operations in the Gulf. Police Probe: Authorities reopen the investigation into sex allegations made against former Vice President Al Gore. And Courting The King: With millions of dollars and championship gold on the line, LeBron James hits the open market. This is the CBS MORNING NEWS for Thursday, July 1, 2010. Good morning. Thanks for joining us. I`m Emily Smith. This morning, Hurricane Alex is losing some punch as it moves inland over Northeast Mexico. Alex came ashore last night with a hundred and ten mile an hour winds on the Mexican Gulf Coast, about a hundred and ten mile south of Brownsville, Texas. Alex triggered two tornadoes in Brownsville but no injuries or severe damage is reported. Whit Johnson is on South Padre Island just off the Coast of Texas. Good morning, Whit. WHIT JOHNSON: Emily, good morning. Well, today the rain has died down but the wind continues, gusts up to fifty miles per hour still batter the coast, and people here are eager for this slow-moving storm to finally move on. (Begin VT) WHIT JOHNSON: The outer edges of Alex are leaving South Texas, wind-whipped and soaked. JUAN ORDUNA (Store Owner): Oh, this is nothing, man. No, Dolly was way worse. WHIT JOHNSON: The storm roared ashore Wednesday night as a Category 2 hurricane, packing winds near one hundred ten miles per hour. It spawned at least two tornadoes in Brownsville and pounded the region with heavy rain. JACOB WEISFELD (South Padre Island Resident): We thought it`d be sweet to go check everything out with the rain. Oh, my God. Page 65 Hurricane Alex Roars Ashore; Police Probe Sex Allegation Against Al Gore; Courting the King; The Spies Among Us, CBS CBS News Transcripts July 1, 2010 Thursday

WHIT JOHNSON: Alex may have spared Texas a direct hit but Mexico`s Gulf Coast wasn`t so lucky. The powerful system flooded roads and forced thousands of people to evacuate fishing villages. Hundreds of miles away rough seas sidelined cleanup boats, skimming oil in the Gulf of Mexico, but crews were still able to capture oil and drill relief wells. As the storm begins to fall apart over land, forecasters say the main threat now will be tornadoes and heavy rain. The nasty weather is making David Wooten`s first trip to South Padre Island one he`ll never forget. DAVID WOOTEN: It`s a great way to bring in the Fourth. We-- it`s just a little added experience to the vacation, so. WHIT JOHNSON: But many business owners fear not everyone will be as optimistic. STEVEN MURPHY (Captain Murphy`s Charter Services): We`ve lost probably like seventy percent of our people already. They`re not-- they`re not going to come down, and-- and it was a sold-out weekend. WHIT JOHNSON: During one of the biggest weekends of the year, Alex is one guest everyone wants to see leave. (End VT) WHIT JOHNSON: In Mexico, at least, three people have died as a result of this storm. But, so far, in the U.S. early reports indicate no deaths, serious injuries or major damage. Emily. EMILY SMITH: Okay. Whit Johnson, thank you, on South Padre Island. Thanks, Whit. While Alex stayed south of the Gulf oil spill, the big storm whipped up high waves that stalled cleanup efforts and pushed more oil-polluted water inland. Mark Strassmann has that part of the story. (Begin VT) MARK STRASSMANN: Leoda Bladsacker walked on to Grand Isle beach worried. What do you see? LEODA BLADSACKER: What do I see? I see Alex just churning up that Gulf and churning up that oil and I know before it`s over we-- we`re going to get a bunch of it, just when? MARK STRASSMANN: When? Right away. Bladsacker looked behind her, one tar ball, then hundreds more, some actually washing over the boom in churning waves like this one. See this oil? It`s also new, pushed to shore by Alex. All summer long that spill out on the Gulf will be the wild card in what forecasters say will be a very active hurricane season. The good news--a hurricane`s force should help break up or weather the oil. BILL READ (Director, National Hurricane Center): With the higher waves, especially the wind waves, you get more mixing of the water and it weathers quicker that way. MARK STRASSMANN: But there`s also bad news. ADMIRAL THAD ALLEN (National Incident Commander for Gulf Oil Spill): We can see oil moving in further inland or in the marshes where we hadn`t-- had-- hadn`t experienced that before. MARK STRASSMANN: One more worry for BP`s containment and cleanup plan that never even took hurricanes into account. REPRESENTATIVE EDWARD MARKEY (D-Massachusetts): If you look for the word "hurricane" in their response plan, you won`t find it in BP`s contingency plans. MARK STRASSMANN: So even a distant storm like Alex makes Leoda Bladsacker fearful. LEODA BLADSACKER: What, where, when, and how in the hell are we going to face this thing if a storm comes? Look, just what Alex is doing. Look at this. I mean, can you imagine something gets even a little bit closer to us what we`re going to have? MARK STRASSMANN: Alex`s winds are also too strong for BP to keep using its aerial dispersants. So for the course of the storm, new oil gushing from the well and heading to shore will be that thicker stuff.

Mark Strassmann, CBS News, Grand Isle, Louisiana. (End VT) EMILY SMITH: A spokesman for Al Gore says the former vice president emphatically denies making unwanted sexual advances towards an Oregon woman. The incident allegedly took place four years ago, but Portland police say they`ve reopened the case. Tara Mergener is in Washington with details. Good morning, Tara. TARA MERGENER: Good morning, Emily. Well, this case was considered closed, but now police are taking another look. (Begin VT) TARA MERGENER: In a story the National Enquirer broke a week ago, Molly Hagerty accuses the former vice president of groping her and pinning her down at a bed in a Portland hotel in 2006. She filed a complaint, but later told police she did not want to pursue criminal charges. But in January of 2009, she went to police again, repeated the allegations and gave a two- hour statement. MOLLY HAGERTY: "He began demanding that I go lower and massaging on the abdominal area. I was shocked and I did not massage beyond what is considered a `safe, nonsexual` area of the abdomen. He further insisted and acted angry, becoming verbally sharp and loud. I went into much deeper shock as I realized it appeared he was demanding sexual favors or sexual behaviors." TARA MERGENER: Police won`t say why they`ve reopened the investigation or if they have additional evidence. Ha- gerty told the Enquirer, she has DNA evidence and surveillance tape that backs up her story. The former vice president has strongly denied the accusation. His office released a statement last night saying, quote, "Further investigation into the matter will only benefit Mr. Gore. The Gores cannot comment on every defamatory, misleading, and inaccurate story generated by the tabloids." (End VT) TARA MERGENER: And the Gores separated last month. The split is said to be amicable. Emily, back to you. EMILY SMITH: Okay. Tara Mergener in Washington. Thank you, Tara. Well, Senate confirmation hearings for Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan resumed this afternoon with public wit- ness testimony. Kagan won`t be on hand. On Wednesday, she finished two days of intense questioning. Even Republi- can opponents on the Senate Judiciary Committee expect her to be confirmed. A committee vote is expected by the middle of this month. General David Petraeus is now officially the U.S. commander in Afghanistan. He was unanimously confirmed by the full Senate Wednesday. He`s scheduled to visit NATO headquarters in Brussels today before heading to Kabul. One of this nation`s most wanted terrorists has been tied to last year`s plot to bomb the New York City subway system. Adnan Shukrijumah is in line to be the man in charge of planning al Qaeda attacks worldwide. Counterterrorism officials say he met with one of the would-be suicide bombers, Najibullah Zazi, and two alleged accomplices were arrested last year. Zazi and one other have admitted to planning the subway attack. In an apparent effort to recruit aspiring terrorists in the U.S. or England, al Qaeda has launched an English-language online magazine. Previously, al Qaeda has depended on Arabic websites to spread its message. The new magazine is called Inspire. It includes articles such as, How to Make a Bomb in the Kitchen of your Mom. Anwar al-Awlaki, the radical U.S. cleric, is a guest columnist for the first issue. It`s titled, May Our Souls be Sacrificed for You. Just ahead on the MORNING NEWS, new trouble for Toyota as it considers another big recall. Plus, Elian Gonzalez, all grown up and speaking about his custody battle ten years ago. You`re watching the CBS MORNING NEWS. (ANNOUNCEMENTS) EMILY SMITH: In California, a dramatic rescue by air. A fire department helicopter lifted a firefighter and a stranded hiker out of a steep ravine on Wednesday. The hiker had fallen about seventy feet and couldn`t climb back out. The chopper brought them safely out and the hiker was able to walk away. Elian Gonzalez says he`s happy that he was returned to Cuba ten years ago. Now sixteen years old, the former refugee attended a celebration last night with Cuban President Raul Castro. Gonzalez is a member of the Communist Party and Page 67 Hurricane Alex Roars Ashore; Police Probe Sex Allegation Against Al Gore; Courting the King; The Spies Among Us, CBS CBS News Transcripts July 1, 2010 Thursday is studying to become a Cuban military officer. In June 2000, Gonzalez was seized by U.S. immigration agents and sent back to Cuba. He says he is not mad at his Miami relatives who had refused to give him up. On the CBS MoneyWatch, stocks in Asia continued their slide this morning. Ashley Morrison is here in New York with that and more. Good morning, Ashley. ASHLEY MORRISON: And good morning to you, Emily. Well, Asian markets took a dive again this morning after China reported its economic growth was slowing. Japan`s Nikkei dropped two percent to a seven-month low. Today, Wall Street gets the weekly jobless claim numbers as well as reports on construction spending and auto sales. Tuesday was a bad end to a bad quarter, the worst since the financial crisis. The Dow lost another ninety- six points for the quarter. The Blue Chips are down ten percent. The NASDAQ lost almost twenty-six points and gave up a whopping twelve percent from March to June. More trouble for Toyota. The Japanese automaker says two hundred and seventy thousand of its vehicles have faulty engines that could stall while the vehicles are moving. They include Crown and Lexus sedans. Toyota says there`ve been no reports of accidents linked to the faulty engines. They have not announced a recall, but Japanese media reports suggest they are strongly considering one The fate of the financial overhaul bill remains up in the air. The House has passed the bill. However, the Senate will not vote until mid-July. Republican Senator Scott Brown says he`s not ready to support it. That could leave Democrats short of the sixty votes they need to pass the bill. Congress has sent the President a bill giving home buyers an extra three months to finish qualifying for tax incentives that helped boost the housing market this spring. The legislation would give buyers until September thirtieth, to complete their purchases. The extension only applies to those who already have signed contracts. And a huge start for the latest twilight movie, Eclipse. Eclipse took in more than thirty million dollars at its midnight showings yesterday, breaking the record set by the previous, Twilight flicking. Emily, I`m no expert, but I think they may have a big hit on their hands. EMILY SMITH: You think? ASHLEY MORRISON: I know it. EMILY SMITH: Yeah, I think so, too. Thank you, Ashley. Ashley Morrison here in New York. Straight ahead, your Thursday morning weather and superstar for sale, LeBron James is now officially up for grabs. (ANNOUNCEMENTS) EMILY SMITH: Time now for a check on the national forecast. The latest satellite picture shows the Northern Plains has clouds and storms rolling in. And in the Northeast, scattered clouds are pulling out to the East. Later today, rain and storms from hurricane Alex will continue to come down on the Southern Plains and the Southeast. The Northeast will be cool, dry and sunny. And in the Northwest, it`s cool and pleasant. The bidding war begins in pro basketball. LeBron James and many other top NBA players are now free agents this morning and can sign with any team. James begins meetings with teams today, and for the cities involved, it`s a very big deal. Jeff Glor reports. (Begin VT) JEFF GLOR (CBS News National Correspondent): To understand the LeBron James effect just look at this number, 2.7 billion dollars. That is the estimated economic impact in just one city--Chicago if James signs with basketball`s Bulls. RICK HORROW (Author, Beyond the Box Score): This is the biggest free agent hunt in the history of the NBA, maybe in sports. He is a walking, talking, free-throw shooting stimulus plan, LeBron himself. MAN #1: Chicago Bulls. JEFF GLOR: The Bulls, though, were just one of many teams hoping James leaves the Cleveland Cavaliers where he spent the last seven seasons. James has gone from a teen prodigy in Akron, Ohio-- MAN #1: Look at the pass. Page 68 Hurricane Alex Roars Ashore; Police Probe Sex Allegation Against Al Gore; Courting the King; The Spies Among Us, CBS CBS News Transcripts July 1, 2010 Thursday

JEFF GLOR: --to grace the cover of Sports Illustrated as a high school junior. He graduated in 2003, skipped college and has now become a sporting world superstar. He`s shown he can carry a team largely on his back, maybe, even an entire city. MAN #2: Come on, LeBron. JEFF GLOR: Everyone, it seems, is taking their shot. There`s talk of the Miami Heat, the Dallas Mavericks, New Jersey Nets and L.A. Clippers. But leaving Cleveland might be tough. LEBRON JAMES (Excerpt from Larry King Live, CNN) (June 4): For me it`s comfortable. So, I`ve got a lot of memories here and so it does have an edge. CHRIS MANNIX (Sports Illustrated): It would be incredibly devastating for Cleveland if LeBron left because I mean, I`ve heard jokes that LeBron-- you know, Cleveland is willing to move to New York to satisfy LeBron`s-- LeBron`s appeal to go there. JEFF GLOR: No matter where he goes, he`ll have fame and he`ll have fortune. Last year James made close to forty- three million dollars and his new deal will pay him even more. What it really comes down to is this, where can he win? CHRIS MANNIX: To cement himself as one of the greatest of all time, you have to win championships. MAN #3: NBA Championship. JEFF GLOR: Michael Jordan, the greatest of all, has six NBA titles. Kobe Bryant, five. King James is still searching for his crown. Jeff Glor, CBS News, New York. (End VT) EMILY SMITH: When we return, another look at this morning`s top stories and the alleged spies next door. Were they the real deal? And what did they find out? (ANNOUNCEMENTS) EMILY SMITH: Here`s another look at this morning`s top stories. Hurricane Alex is losing strength as it moves inland over Northeast Mexico. Alex came ashore on Mexico`s Gulf Coast last night, about a hundred miles south of Browns- ville, Texas, packing a hundred and ten mile an hour winds and heavy rain. And Portland police have reopened an investigation into allegations that former Vice President Al Gore made unwanted sexual advances towards an Oregon woman. Nine of the ten people who allegedly made up a Russian spy ring in this country are scheduled to appear in court today. Another suspect who was arrested in Cypress was released on bail and has now disappeared. Bob Orr has more on the, somewhat, baffling espionage case. (Begin VT) BOB ORR: They`re gaining fame as the spies among us. Eleven alleged Russian agents who federal prosecutors charge were trained my Moscow and sent to infiltrate America. Most posed as couples and quietly set up house in the suburbs, around New York, Washington, and Boston. But one opted for the spotlight--Manhattan parties, Facebook, and You- Tube. Anna Chapman, socialite, real estate entrepreneur and now accused spy is the face of the caper that has intelligence experts a bit baffled. We caught up with former CIA officer Peter Earnest, who spent twenty-five years running spies during the Cold War. He says the Kremlin invested heavily in the alleged suburban spies. PETER EARNEST (Former CIA Officer): It is a serious spy effort. It is a se- - now, this is not-- this is not being done for comic relief. BOB ORR: The accused spies were directed to mingle with policymakers and think-tank experts. One of the suspects chatted up a former U.S. government official. Another met a staffer working with nuclear weapons. But officials say no state secrets were stolen. Page 69 Hurricane Alex Roars Ashore; Police Probe Sex Allegation Against Al Gore; Courting the King; The Spies Among Us, CBS CBS News Transcripts July 1, 2010 Thursday

In fact, much of the information collected would be readily available on the internet, a resource that did not exist when the snooping program began. The suspects were also instructed to look for potential recruits--Americans who may be willing to sell secrets. There`s no public evidence they ever identified a real source. DAVID WISE: Well, the Cold War ended, yes, nineteen years ago. But the KGB never stopped working and they never will stop working, nor will we. I mean this is what countries do. They spy on each other. BOB ORR: There have certainly been more notorious spies who have done crippling damage, Aldrich Ames, Robert Hanssen. But the FBI spent ten years on this case, a clear sign the government still views espionage as a leading threat. Bob Orr, CBS News, Washington. (End VT) EMILY SMITH: I`m Emily Smith and this is the CBS MORNING NEWS.

HIGHLIGHT: That monumental leak of classified documents on the Afghanistan war. The White House in damage control mode while the leaks raise more questions about that war back here in the U.S. BP has finally confirmed what everybody expected, which is that CEO Tony Hayward, the man who had become very much the villain of the Gulf oil spill piece, is leaving effective October 1st. If BP wanted to preserve its American business, it really had no choice. Just four days left until Chelsea Clinton`s wedding. One report this morning says the lavish affair could cost as much as five million dollars.

ERICA HILL: Damage Control: The White House tries to contain the fallout from the leaked documents on the Afgha- nistan war. Thousands more set to be released. Do these documents compromise the safety of troops on the ground? We`ll get reaction from the Pentagon. Starting Over: After months of speculation, CEO Tony Hayward given the boot and replaced by American Bob Dudley as the company reports a whooping seventeen billion dollar loss. Hospital Mix-Up: New details in the tragic case of mistaken identity. Two families, their lives turned upside down. We`ll speak with the aunt of one of the survivors. And Chelsea`s Big Day: Just four days until Chelsea Clinton`s lavish wedding that will now reportedly cost as much as five million dollars. We`re live from the spot where the wedding is set to take place early this Tuesday morning July 27, 2010. ANNOUNCER: From CBS NEWS, it`s THE EARLY SHOW live from Fifth Avenue in New York City. ERICA HILL: And good Tuesday morning to you. I`m Erica Hill. HARRY SMITH: I`m Harry Smith. Good morning everybody. ERICA HILL: A lot of activity. HARRY SMITH: Yeah. ERICA HILL: Couple hours away from us here. HARRY SMITH: Right. Page 71 Leaked Documents Raise Questions About War; It`s Official: Dudley to Replace Hayward; Chelsea`s Lavish Wedding Plans, CBS CBS News Transcripts July 27, 2010 Tuesday

ERICA HILL: Rhinebeck, New York, where it is all but official, I guess, that Chelsea Clinton and Marc Mezvinsky will be getting married this morning and now the price tag we`re hearing--according to the daily news-- HARRY SMITH: Yep. ERICA HILL: --three million dollars. HARRY SMITH: Yeah. ERICA HILL: We`re hearing it could go as high as five. One of my favorites in The Daily News this morning, they say potential costs for a media consultant, a hundred thousand dollars which is interesting because there`s not a lot of talking going on. HARRY SMITH: Didn`t the people have to like sign confidentiality agreements and what have you? And-- and this three to five million dollars for Rhinebeck, that`s its own stimulus package. ERICA HILL: Very nice. There you go. HARRY SMITH: I know. ERICA HILL: So you`re welcome. We`ll have more on that ahead this morning. We begin though with that monumental leak of classified documents on the Afghanistan war. The White House in damage control mode while the leaks raise more questions about that war back here in the U.S. CBS News chief national security correspondent David Martin is at the Pentagon this morning with the latest. David, good morning. DAVID MARTIN (CBS News Chief National Security Correspondent): Good morning. You know, the dust has yet to settle on that first avalanche of secrets and already the head of WikiLeaks is talking about releasing fifteen thousand more classified documents. (Begin VT) DAVID MARTIN: The Pentagon says it will take days if not weeks to assess the damage caused by what`s already been posted on the WikiLeaks website. White House spokesman Robert Gibbs says people`s lives have been put in danger. ROBERT GIBBS (White House Press Secretary): If somebody is cooperating with the federal government and their name is listed in an action report, I don`t think it`s a stretch to believe that that could potentially put a group or an individual at great personal risk. DAVID MARTIN: U.S. Military officials assume the documents were leaked by twenty-two-year-old Private First Class Bradley Manning, who is already charged with illegally downloading a classified video of a helicopter gunship shooting civilians in the streets of Baghdad, a video which ended up on WikiLeaks. MAN#1: Engage. MAN #2: One, engaged. Clear. DAVID MARTIN: The documents cover the years 2004 to 2009 and describe in detail why the U.S. is in so much trouble in Afghanistan. The U.S. has been fighting with too few troops and causing too many civilian casualties. The Afghan government is corrupt and inefficient. Pakistan is an uncertain ally, which at times has supported the same Tali- ban that is killing American soldiers in Afghanistan. The head of WikiLeaks calls it one damn thing after another. JULIAN ASSANGE (Founder, WikiLeaks): This is the story of the war since 2004. Most of the deaths in this war are as a result of the every day squalor of war, not the big incidences. (End VT) DAVID MARTIN: The White House is trying to downplay the substance of these documents as old news but Congress will have a say on that when a spending bill of the Afghan war comes up for a vote before the August recess. And, Eri- ca, in-- in another war development, one of those two missing sailors has now been identified. He is thirty-year-old Jus- tin McNeley whose body was recovered Sunday. The other sailor remains missing and unidentified. ERICA HILL: David, thanks. CBS`s David Martin this morning at the Pentagon.

Joining us this morning is Pentagon spokesman Geoff Morrell. Good to have you with us this morning, sir. Do you know at this-- GEOFF MORRELL (Pentagon Spokesperson): Good morning, Erica. ERICA HILL: Do you know at this point who`s responsible for this leak? GEOFF MORRELL: We do not. We have a very robust investigation that`s under way to try to determine who`s responsible for breaking the law here and leaking this classified information that could endanger the lives of our forces and imperil our nation`s security. But at this point, we`re in the early stages of that. Our focus really frankly right now is to try to determine if there is anything in these ninety thousand pages of documents that could indeed endanger our forces. We got a team doing that round the clock. This was dumped on us like it was dumped on you all Sunday night. It would have been nice had this organization have the decency to come to us and work with us to try to figure out if there`s anything in here that could endanger our forces. ERICA HILL: And-- GEOFF MORRELL: But we were not given that luxury. ERICA HILL: And there is more to come as we`ve been told, some fifteen thousand additional documents. How many people have access to this type of information? GEOFF MORRELL: Yeah, we`re not going to get into sort of the-- the-- the-- the -- the scope of what was involved here in terms of the databases that may have been breached. Suffice it to say, this information-- ERICA HILL (overlapping): So, is it a large-- but is it a large number of people? GEOFF MORRELL: --classified for a reason, Erica. This involves secrets that should not be disseminated into the public domain and could potentially endanger our operations and our forces in Afghanistan. ERICA HILL: There is understandably some concern as you-- as you have mentioned a couple times here over the troops on the ground and how this could affect them. There`s also some concern as to going forward about all the relationships that are in the region. President Karzai coming out with the response, quote, "The recent documents leaked out to the media clearly support and verify the success over terrorism does not come with fighting in Afghan villages but by targeting its sanctuaries and financial and ideological sources across the borders." It seems to allude to Pakistan and some support to the Taliban there. Is there any way to be sure that the billions of dollars in U.S. aid being sent to Pakis- tan is not being used to support terrorists? GEOFF MORRELL: Well, Erica, I think that the-- this shows that this information, though, new and unprecedented in the scope and the shear size of this leak, the information itself, the substance, the content of these documents is not particularly new or illuminating. It points to issues that we`ve identified as being problem areas for months if not years. The under resourcing of these conflict, the President`s now tripled our number of forces there, the fact that civilian casualties has been a problem which we`ve been trying to deal with. U.S. caused civilian casualties down by a third this year. Taliban casualties-- civilian casualties nearly doubled this year. And the fact-- and the Pakistani partnership that is so vital to our success in Afghanistan is one that has been trending in the right direction for months if not a couple of years now. So, the most recent of these documents, Erica, is at least six months old by-- by now and that is clearly out of step with where this relationship is and has been heading for some time now. ERICA HILL: So you`re saying it`s trending obviously to a better place. But is there-- again, is there any way to know whether or not U.S. money being sent to Pakistan as aid money is in fact supporting terrorists who could be endangering U.S. troops? GEOFF MORRELL: Well, we have as many controls as we can have on our aid to Pakistan. The Kerry-Lugar, Berman Amendment provides 1.5 billion dollars a year over the next five years. And-- but remember, this is a sovereign country who we are partnering with in the war on terror. We are working with them together to go after the terrorists in their midst who not only threaten their government and our forces in Afghanistan, but our well being here stateside as well as our allies around the world. ERICA HILL: Geoff Morrell joining us from the Pentagon this morning. Thanks for your time.

GEOFF MORRELL: My pleasure. ERICA HILL: Harry. HARRY SMITH: Erica, thanks. Now to the big shakeup at BP. It is finally official--embattled CEO Tony Hayward is stepping down and for the first time, an American will take the helm of the for-- firm-- firm formerly known as British Petroleum. CBS News correspondent Mark Phillips is in London with the latest. Good morning, Mark. MARK PHILLIPS: Good morning, Harry. Well, BP has finally confirmed what everybody expected, which is that CEO Tony Hayward, the man who had become very much the villain of the Gulf oil spill piece, is leaving effective October 1st. If BP wanted to preserve its American business, it really had no choice. (Begin VT) MARK PHILLIPS: Tony Hayward is the bone being thrown to the angry dog of public opinion. The Gulf oil spill happened on his watch and whatever other talents he brought to the cleanup and well capping effort, a public relations touch wasn`t one of them. One comment in particular stuck to him like an oil slick on a Gulf beach. TONY HAYWEARD: There`s nobody wants this thing over more than I do. You know, I`d like my life back. MARK PHILLIPS: As sacrificial lambs go, Tony Hayward is an expensive one. The golden handshake from BP will involve a year`s salary of 1.6 million dollars, a pension of about a million dollars a year and BP shares that could be worth millions if the stock price recovers. Hayward will also sit on the board of BP`s joint venture in Russia. ROBERT DUDLEY: It is very tragic. I`d like to get more people out here to see it. MARK PHILLIPS: His replacement, Robert Dudley, will give the company an American face and an about-face of BP`s image is something the company`s chairman admits it badly needs. CARL HENRIC SVANBERG (Chairman, BP): I think it became cheer that you needed in-- in this case a-- a new face, a new-- new man to lead this and, of course, especially America is our-- our biggest market so that is also important. And so I think it became difficult for him to take on that task. (End VT) MARK PHILLIPS: BP estimates that its losses in relation to the oil spill will top thirty billion dollars. Billion with a B. And that`s only if it isn`t found guilty of glot-- gross negligence, a battle which it is yet to fight. Harry. HARRY SMITH: Mark Phillips in London this morning. Thank you very much. Joining us now, CBS News business and economic correspondent Rebecca Jarvis. Good morning. REBECCA JARVIS (CBS News Business & Economics Correspondent): Morning, Harry. HARRY SMITH: I want to put pictures up of Hayward and-- and Dudley. REBECCA JARVIS: Bob Dudley. HARRY SMITH: Let`s talk about Dudley and why this guy. REBECCA JARVIS: So what BP faces ahead is a PR battle. The issue for BP is that Americans have lost trust in the company. The company does forty percent of its business here. Dudley came from America. He was born in New York. He grew up in Mississippi. They like that about him. He fits the right profile for regaining trust from Americans in BP. HARRY SMITH: Let`s talk a little bit about BP losses because this is a company-- big company, used to making lots of profits. The profits from a year ago, this quarter, versus the losses of this are just-- were-- they`re almost breathtaking. REBECCA JARVIS: Yeah, we`re looking at massive losses for the quarter, seventeen billion dollars in losses. This quarter versus last year this time, the company was making 4.4 billion dollars. But what`s most important about all of this is what shareholders have lost in the bargain. Shareholders have lost seventy billion dollars as a result of all this. HARRY SMITH: And in the end of the day, does BP-- this is a question that`s come up in the first weeks and then the-- after the first month and the second month, do they have the resources to back up what has to be thirty billion or more in funds to pay for-- pay for this ongoing? Page 74 Leaked Documents Raise Questions About War; It`s Official: Dudley to Replace Hayward; Chelsea`s Lavish Wedding Plans, CBS CBS News Transcripts July 27, 2010 Tuesday

REBECCA JARVIS: Yeah, they have set aside now thirty-two billion dollars. They`re selling some of their assets to pay for the cleanup costs. And as we know, the Obama administration has requested that they put aside that twenty billion dollar fund. They`re going to make the first five billion dollar payment into that shortly. HARRY SMITH: All right. Rebecca Jarvis, as always, thank you very much. Betty Nguyen is right over there and-- BETTY NGUYEN: Good morning. HARRY SMITH: --has the rest of this morning`s news. Good morning. BETTY NGUYEN: Nice to see you, Harry. And, good morning to you at home. At least six homes have been burned by a wildfire in California this morning. That fire is in the mountain town of Kern- ville, northeast of Bakersfield and near the Sequoia National Forest. The flames have already burned over two thousand acres. Some people have been forced to evacuate, but no one has been injured. Also in California, more highly paid officials in a Los Angeles suburb have bowed to the demands of furious residents. Protestors in the blue-collar town of Bell had already succeeded in getting rid of three top officials. At a meeting yesterday, they went after City Council members who were being paid one hundred thousand dollars a year for part-time work. MAN #1: You failed to do your job. You failed to listen to us about our taxes. And you guys do not deserve to be running the city. BETTY NGUYEN: The council members voted to slash their salaries by ninety percent. Some residents say they should just quit. Overseas this morning, day three of a joint exercise by the U.S. and South Korean navies. The carrier George Washing- ton is one of about twenty U.S. and South Korean vessels taking part. The show of force is aimed at North Korea which sank a South Korean warship in March. In Havana, a surprise appearance by Fidel Castro. Yesterday he marked the anniversary of the revolution with a wreath laying ceremony. The eighty- three-year-old Castro stepped down as president four years ago. A singer Wyclef Jean might be trading hip-hop for politics. Jean is considering a run for President of Haiti, but as of yesterday he has not made a final decision. Born in Haiti, Jean has been a prominent fund-raiser following the country`s earthquake disaster. And, another no-hitter in baseball`s Year of the Pitcher. Tampa Bay`s Matt Garza faced only twenty-seven batters giving up only one walk followed by a double play. The five-nothing win over Detroit, is the first no-hitter in team history and the fifth in the majors this season. Congratulations to him. All right, up to bat now, Dave Price with the first check of the weather. Good morning. DAVE PRICE: Nice to see you, Betty. Hello, everybody. Let`s go to the maps and see what`s happening all across the country, shall we? Got some troubles in the Northern Plain states, and as we take a look at the Dakotas, for this afternoon and into sections of Minnesota, then into the evening, we widen out that area. Minnesota, Iowa, into Wisconsin and Michigan, stretching back to places like Nebraska, watch for the hail, the high winds, the rain, could see upwards of two inches in some loca- tions. We`ll keep an eye out. In the meantime, nice right along the Northwest coastline, high pressure`s been some a-- actually, Pacific cool air downward. But keep in mind, the high pressure system so far out that inland we`re still talking about high temperatures and high heat as well. That`s a quick look at some of the issues on our national map. Here`s an early look at what`s going on in your area. (LOCAL WEATHER BREAK) DAVE PRICE: Carbon copy of the weather in the Northeast as we head into the rest of the day today. And some storms brewing in the four corners area. We`ll talk about that at 7:30. Erica. ERICA HILL: We will check in with you then. Dave, thanks.

DAVE PRICE: Okay. ERICA HILL: Just four days left until Chelsea Clinton`s wedding. One report this morning says the lavish affair could cost as much as five million dollars. CBS News correspondent Elaine Quijano is in Rhinebeck, New York, this morning for us with more on the big event and a plenty of buzz there, I`m sure, Elaine. ELAINE QUIJANO: Plenty of buzz that`s exactly right, Erica. And you know some people might be wondering what kind of person wins the heart of Chelsea Clinton and the approval of her prominent parents. Well someone who has a lot in common with his bride-to-be. (Begin VT) ELAINE QUIJANO: His name may not ring a bell, but Chelsea Clinton`s fiance, thirty-two-year-old Marc Mezvinsky, is about to become the man of the hour. WOMAN #1: They`ve been together for a long time. So I don`t know, I`m-- I`m thumbs up on him. ELAINE QUIJANO: Is he kind of a cutie, though? WOMAN #2: Oh, very cutes. She has very good taste. ELAINE QUIJANO: Mezvinsky and Clinton first met as teenagers at a leadership retreat in 1993. They both attended Stanford University. He now works as an investment banker at a hedge fund and lives in this building in a four million dollar, three-bedroom apartment on New York`s Fifth Avenue. But his family has faced some adversity. Mezvinsky`s father, former Iowa congressman Ed Mezvinksy, pleaded guilty to fraud and served five years in prison. He was released in 2008. Observers say as children of politicians who faced public turmoil. Both Marc and Chelsea understand how harsh a negative spotlight can be. SALLY QUINN (Washington Post): I think it`s huge. I think both of them understand each other in a way that no one else can. They understand what the other one has been through. ELAINE QUIJANO: Now, though the details are shrouded in secrecy, their wedding is the talk of the town in upstate Rhinebeck, New York. WOMAN #3: --that nothing`s happening. (Crowd laughing) ELAINE QUIJANO: Despite no official confirmation that the wedding will happen at the nearby Astor Courts, the Rhi- nebeck town board voted to approve extra funding for additional police on Saturday. MAN #2: I`d like to make a motion to allocate twenty-five hundred dollars for the possible event.

HIGHLIGHT: President Obama meets BP officials at the White House.

MICHELLE GIELAN: Face to Face: A show down at the White House as President Obama holds his first meeting with BP execs since the disastrous Gulf oil spill. PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA: We will make BP pay for the damage their company has caused. MICHELLE GIELAN: Caught on Tape: A jaywalking incident in Seattle escalates when a policeman lashes out. And, A Cut Above: A man who tried to amputate his own arm to save his life tells his story. This is the CBS MORNING NEWS for Wednesday June 16, 2010. Good morning. And thanks for joining us. I`m Michelle Gielan. Last night, President Obama called BP reckless. This morning he`ll meet with company executives for the first since the Gulf oil spill began and there are new estimates of just how bad the leak is. A government panel now says the well is leaking as much as sixty thousand barrels a day, that`s equal to 2.5 million gallons. That means every four days an amount equal to the Exxon Valdez spill is gushing into the Gulf. Tara Mergener is in Washington with more details. Tara, good morning. TARA MERGENER: Good morning, Michelle. Well, eight weeks into this disaster, President Obama offered no immediate solutions to stop this spill and a very frustrated public. But he did promise the whole BP accountable for the devastation. (Begin VT) TARA MERGENER: This morning President Obama will demand BP pay for the disaster it created. PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA: I will meet with the chairman of BP and inform him that he is to set aside whatever resources are required to compensate the workers and business owners who have been harmed as a result of this company`s recklessness. TARA MERGENER: In his first Oval Office address he announced the energy giant would be required to pay into a compensation fund but BP won`t be running it. PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA: In order to ensure that all legitimate claims are paid out in a fair and timely manner, the account must and will be administered by an independent third party. TARA MERGENER: Gulf Coast residents watching the speech remained cautiously optimistic. Page 78 For June 16, 2010, CBS CBS News Transcripts June 16, 2010 Wednesday

WOMAN: I appreciate him wanting to get BP to-- to put money and a fund for us. Whether or not he can do that or whether or not that can help happen, I don`t know. TARA MERGENER: BP`s chief executive Tony Hayward isn`t expected at today`s meeting but he will likely face a tough grilling from lawmakers when he testifies on Capitol Hill tomorrow. New government estimate show the ruptured well is leaking far more oil than previously thought, as much as two and a half million gallons a day. BP has only had moderate success in trapping the crude, but that could soon change once more equipment is in place. PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA: And in the coming weeks and days, these efforts should capture up to ninety percent of the oil leaking out of the well. TARA MERGENER: But plugging the leak is only half the battle. BP will also have to fund a restoration plan to get the Gulf Coast back to normal however long that takes. (End VT) TARA MERGENER: And BP says it looks forward to meeting with the President today, and that they share his goal of stopping the gush and cleaning up the mess quickly. Michelle, back to you. MICHELLE GIELAN: And Tara, it seems the President feels that this is his opportunity to get energy legislation passed, doesn`t it? TARA MERGENER: Well, Michelle, he did spend a lot of time on this last night. As you know this is a key domestic priority. Republicans immediately came out and said he`s exploiting the spill for a political gain and even some Demo- crats say this speech was a missed opportunity to show a sense of competency and urgency. MICHELLE GIELAN: All right. Tara Mergener in Washington. Tara, thanks. When the President meets with BP execs today he says he`ll inform them that they need to set up a compensation fund. Tuesday, on Capitol Hill some very hostile congressman confronted BP and other oil execs. Sharyl Attkisson has that part of the story. (Begin VT) MAN: Do you each solemnly swear. SHARYL ATTKISSON (CBS News Investigative Correspondent): With BP`S Lamar McKay on the far right, the other top oil executives stood shoulder to shoulder for the oath, then tried their best to distance themselves from BP. REX TILLERSON (Chairman/CEO, ExxonMobil): We would not have drilled the well the way they did. JOHN WATSON: We have multiple systems to prevent a tragedy like the Deepwater Horizon. SHARYL ATTKISSON: But some members of Congress weren`t satisfied. REPRESENTATIVE HENRY WAXMAN (D-California): The record does not support that the other companies here today had been more prepared than BP. SHARYL ATTKISSON: Waxman says their spill response plans are strikingly similar to BP`s--flaws and all. They even refer to protecting walruses in the Gulf. REPRESENTATIVE ED MARKEY (D-Massachusetts): As I am sure you know, there aren`t any walruses in the Gulf of Mexico and there have not been for three million years. SHARYL ATTKISSON: Some of the plans list the same go-to marine biologists in case of a spill--too bad he died five years ago. REPRESENTATIVE ED MARKEY: Mister Lutz died in 2005, four years before the plan was actually filed. JAMES MULVA: Well, the plans need to be updated more frequently. REX TILLERSON: The fact that Doctor Lutz died in 2005 does not mean his work and the importance of his work died with him. Page 79 For June 16, 2010, CBS CBS News Transcripts June 16, 2010 Wednesday

SHARYL ATTKISSON: As for BP, President McKay wasn`t about to say he`s sorry for allegedly low-balling the amount of oil coming from the well at the start, leading many to underestimate the predicted impact. REPRESENTATIVE ED MARKEY: Are you ready to apologize for getting that number so grossly wrong? LAMAR MCKAY (Chairman/President BP): We have provided every bit of data we`ve got into the Unified Area Command. REPRESENTATIVE ED MARKEY: They with your cameras, your technology, your expertise that the American people were relying upon and you got it completely wrong. Please, one final chance. Apologize. LAMAR MCKAY We-- we are sorry for everything the Gulf Coast is going through. We are sorry for that and the spill. REPRESENTATIVE CLIFF STEARNS (R-Florida): I really think you should be resigning as chairman of BP America. I`m not asking for an apology. I`m asking you to resign. REPRESENTATIVE JOSEPH CAO (R-Louisiana): In the Asian culture we do things differently. During the Samurai Days we just give you a knife and ask you to commit Hara-kiri. SHARYL ATTKISSON: And that`s just for starters. BP CEO testifies at the hearing here on Thursday, and will face the most pointed and specific questions yet about whether BP took risks to save money. Sharyl Attkisson, CBS News, Capitol Hill. (End VT) MICHELLE GIELAN: General David Petraeus returns to Capitol Hill this morning after his testimony Tuesday was cut short by a fainting spill. Petraeus, who oversees the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, was responding to a question about the U.S. planned withdrawal from Afghanistan. GENERAL DAVID PETRAEUS (U.S. Central Command): July 2011 is not the date where we raise for the exits. SENATOR JOHN MCCAIN: That an arbitrary timeline-- and the best way to-- MICHELLE GIELAN: Petraeus slumped over for a few seconds left the room, but then return about twenty minutes later. He says he`s fine just dehydrated and jetlagged. On the CBS MoneyWatch, stocks in Asia got a lift this morning and Emily Smith is here in New York with that and more. Emily, good morning. EMILY SMITH: Good morning, Michelle. Electronics stocks let the way in Tokyo. Japan`s Nikkei gained nearly two percent. Markets in China were closed for a holiday. Well, today, Wall Street gets the latest on inflation and housing. Well, Tuesday, tech stocks pulled the market higher with the major indexes adding two percent or more. The Dow gained two hundred and thirteen points, the NASDAQ was up to sixty-two. Help is on the way for credit card users tired of tricky late fees. Beginning August 22nd, credit card companies cannot charge more than twenty-five dollars for a late payment unless the customer is chronically late paying on time. The new rules approved by the Fed also ban inactivity fees. That`s when a customer is charged for not using their card for a period time. The credit rating agencies appeared to have dodged the bullet on the Capitol Hill. Lawmakers have stripped a measure from the financial reform that would try to eliminate conflicts of interest between the rating agencies and the banks, whose investment they evaluate. The credit rating industry has been widely criticized for the high grades they gave risky mortgaged-backed securities that helped sparked the financial meltdown. If you couldn`t preorder the new iPhone yesterday, you certainly were not alone. Many would-be-buyers reported getting error messages on the online order form, neither AT&T or Apple would comment. The new iPhone goes on sale on June 24th. And, American Airlines will let you board early for a price. The carrier`s new Your Choice fee package allows U.S. travelers to pay from nine to nineteen dollars to board right after premium passengers. This is just the latest in a trend to Page 80 For June 16, 2010, CBS CBS News Transcripts June 16, 2010 Wednesday that has airlines charging for everything from check bags to switched flights. But it might help you find some room in that overhead bin. Michelle, personally I like to get on the plane last. MICHELLE GIELAN: Oh, man. EMILY SMITH: I`m in no hurry. MICHELLE GIELAN: They`re going to charge-- charging for air from those little vents. EMILY SMITH: Yeah. MICHELLE GIELAN: All right. Emily Smith, here in New York. Emily, thanks. And just ahead on the MORNING NEWS, Bloody Sunday victims are exonerated after nearly four decades. Plus the police punch seen around the world, details on the ugly assault. First Katie Couric has a preview tonight CBS EVENING NEWS. KATIE COURIC: Business is booming--literally. How the desperate need to contain the Gulf oil spill has rescued one small town`s economy. That`s tonight only on the CBS EVENING NEWS. (ANNOUNCEMENTS) MICHELLE GIELAN: In London, a homecoming parade of British soldiers returning from Afghanistan was interrupted by a group of Muslim protesters, Tuesday. Police tried to maintain orders as scuffles broke out. Two men were arrested. An extraordinary apology by the Britain`s prime minister, the government released a long-awaited report on what`s known as the Bloody Sunday. The 1972 attack by the British soldiers on protesters in Londonderry, Northern Ireland, set of decades of violence between Catholics and Protestants and left nearly four thousand people dead. The families of thirteen victims got what they`ve waited for, for so long--vindication. KATE NASH: My brother William, we know he was innocent, we`ve always known, now the world knows. DAVID CAMERON (British Prime Minister): There is no doubt, there is nothing equivocal, there are no ambiguities. What happened on Bloody Sunday was both unjustified and unjustifiable. It was wrong. MICHELLE GIELAN: But, apologies may not be enough, the inquiry protected soldiers against criminal charges. But experts say that some civil lawsuits might still be filed. The family of an American construction worker Gary Brooks Faulkner has spoken out about he`s being detained in Pa- kistan, on a solo mission to kill Osama bin Laden. Doctor Scott Faulkner says the family supports his brother`s passion in his mission of tracking down the world`s most wanted man. DR. SCOTT FAULKNER (Gary Faulkner`s Brother): He`s not insane, as a physician I can attest to that. He`s not psy- chotic. He doesn`t have schizophrenia. He doesn`t have pictures of Osama bin Laden plastered all over his apartment. He`s as normal as you and I. He`s just a very passionate-- MICHELLE GIELAN: Authorities in Colorado released a photograph of Faulkner from 2006. He`s being questioned by intelligence officials in Pakistan, but has not been charged with anything. Seattle police say they are reviewing tactics after an officer was caught on video punching a young woman. (Begin VT) MICHELLE GIELAN: The officer is seen hitting a seventeen-year-old woman dress in a pink shirt after she pushes him. He`s also seen struggling with a nineteen-year-old young woman in the Monday incident. Seattle Police Officers Guild president Rich O`Neill defended the officer. RICH O`NEILL (President, Seattle Police Officer`s Guild): Because I-- I think he was trying to defuse the situation and calm people down. MICHELLE GIELAN: After she was charged with assaulting an officer, the seventeen-year-old was released. The nineteen-year-old was also arrested and faces charges as an adult. The officer actions are being investigated. Straight ahead your Wednesday morning weather. Page 81 For June 16, 2010, CBS CBS News Transcripts June 16, 2010 Wednesday

And in sports, Shannon Brown goes airborne and the Lakers force Game 7 in the NBA Finals. (ANNOUNCEMENTS) MICHELLE GIELAN: It`s time now for a check on the national forecast. The latest satellite picture shows clouds moving towards the Northeast, while the skies over the Southwest are clear. Later today, the heat and humidity will be on the rise again in the Southeast. The Northwest sees more scattered showers and the Southwest can expect another round of dry heat. In sports, the winner of the NBA Finals will be decided in Game 7. Kobe Bryant scored twenty-six points as the Lakers dominated the Celtics and cruised to a 89 to 67 victory. Both teams have three to wins. The shoot out for the title is Thursday night in Los Angeles. In baseball, more interleague games. In New York, the Yankees blasted three homeruns and pounded the Phillies` Roy Halladay. And in the World Series rematch, the Yankees beat Philadelphia 8 to 3. In Boston, David Ortiz smacked a two-run homer to deep right center field in the first innings against Arizona. And Red Sox went on to a 6 to 3 victory over the Diamondbacks. And, in St. Louis, the Cardinals Albert Pujols homered in the fifth inning. He`s gone six for ten with five RBIs in his last three games. And St. Louis beat Seattle 4 to 2. When we return we`ll take another look at this morning top stories. And a peek at the future of video games how 3-D is the next big thing at E3. (ANNOUNCEMENTS) MICHELLE GIELAN: Here`s another look at this morning`s top stories, President Obama meets with BP execs at the White House today. During an Oval Office address last night, the President called BP reckless and vowed to make the oil giant pay for the spill in the Gulf. And, another big increase in estimates of the oil flow, a government panel now says as much as sixty thousand barrels a day are flowing into the Gulf. That equals the Exxon Valdez spill every four days. If you are a gamer, this is heaven. The E3 Electronic Entertainment Expo in Los Angeles this week is where you`ll find the latest gaming technology. Manuel Gallegus reports. (Begin VT) MANUEL GALLEGUS: Video game characters come to life, three-dimensional virtual realities, thousands of screens blasting action both realistic and fantastic. This year, Nintendo unveiled its DS 3-D game player, portable and three- dimensional without glasses. The Sony PlayS- tation is also going 3-D with twenty new games. Sony`s also investing big in its move technology-- handheld wands that control the action from archery to back-up dancer for Whitney Houston. MANUEL GALLEGUS: I mean you broke a sweat out there? TRACEY IGNACIO (Gamer): I did. It`s a workout, forget the gym. MANUEL GALLEGUS: One of the biggest draws here at the show is Microsoft`s Xbox Kinect, which actually uses a camera to mimic the body`s movements. The trend in gaming is definitely getting off the couch and moving around and they want everybody to do it. BRIAN EKBERG (Senior Editor, GameSpot): Game companies are trying to appeal to a hardcore audience, but they`re also still attempting to broaden out and attract female gamers, younger gamers, older gamers. MANUEL GALLEGUS: And to do that, there`s newer version of the familiar like, Star Wars, James Bond, and even a darker side of Disney called Epic Mickey. More than two hundred fifty exhibitors are showcasing their hardware, software and fantasy worlds to give us a break from reality. Manuel Gallegus, CBS News, Los Angeles.

(End VT) MICHELLE GIELAN: A Connecticut man, who tried to free himself by amputating his arm after it got stuck in his furnace, is speaking out. Thirty-one- year-old Jonathan Metz said on Tuesday, he started to cut his arm with a hacksaw blade after being stuck for eighteen hours. It took him six hours to psych himself up to do it. But he began loosing hope when he could not complete the cut and was bleeding a lot. JONATHAN METZ (Trapped in a Furnace/Arm Amputated): Things began get blurry and breathing started to slow- down and then speed up. And then, images flashing and-- and really being as close as I think I`ve ever been to death. MICHELLE GIELAN: After three days, concerned friends called police, who found Metz in the basement. Doctors plan to fit him with a prosthetic arm next month. JONATHAN METZ: I obviously-- MICHELLE GIELAN: This morning on THE EARLY SHOW, actress Helen Mirren. I`m Michelle Gielan.

HIGHLIGHT: The Gulf crisis may be about to take a new turn. Tropical Storm Alex has now formed in the Caribbean and could disrupt the round-the-clock efforts to contain the gushing spill. President Obama, meantime, is in Canada this weekend where this afternoon he will meet with world leaders of the G-20 Summit. In Peru a judge has ruled that Joran van der Sloot`s confession to killing a young Peruvian woman is legally valid. Soccer, surprisingly, it`s become one of the summer`s most popular pastimes thanks to the U.S. teams excellent showing in the World Cup. Today, the Ameri- cans have their next big test against Ghana. One in five women of child-bearing age are now opting not to have kids. Those new numbers from a new Pew Research study and it`s a figure that`s doubled in the last thirty years.

ERICA HILL: Oil and Water: The Gulf crisis may be about to take a new turn. Tropical Storm Alex has now formed in the Caribbean and could disrupt the round-the-clock efforts to contain the gushing spill. Midwest Twisters: Tornados touched down in Minnesota downing trees and power lines, as summer storms wreak havoc flooding streets, cutting power and hurling hail, the size of golf balls. (Joran van der Sloot speaking foreign language) ERICA HILL: The Confession Stands: A judge in Peru says Joran van der Sloot`s confession to the murder of twenty- one-year-old Stephany Flores will stand, if convicted. The man still considered the prime suspect in the disappearance of Natalee Holloway faces thirty-five years in jail. And, America`s New Boys of Summer: Today, the U.S. plays an extremely rare second-round World Cup soccer match. And Americans are getting a big kick out of our new heroes. So do they have what it takes to continue this magic run? We`ll tell you early this Saturday morning, June 26, 2010. ANNOUNCER: From CBS News, it`s THE EARLY SHOW on Saturday morning with Chris Wragge and Erica Hill. Live from Fifth Avenue in New York City. ERICA HILL: And good morning on a beautiful Saturday. Welcome to THE EARLY SHOW. I`m Erica Hill. ANTHONY MASON: And I`m Anthony Mason in for Chris Wragge, great to be here.

ERICA HILL: Good to have you with us this morning. Our top story this morning is of course what`s happening in the Gulf. ANTHONY MASON: Yeah. A new problem may be brewing for the troubled oil clean-up effort in the Gulf of Mexico. Bad weather--Tropical Storm Alex, the first storm of the session is located at two hundred and twenty miles, east of Belize City in the western Caribbean. ERICA HILL: And forecasters say the storm will not cross the oil spill area at least for now, but they are warning that could change. CBS News correspondent Kelly Cobiella is in Gulf Shores, Alabama this morning with the latest. Kelly, good morning. KELLY COBIELLA: Good morning, Erica. People in this Gulf region had survived to two major hurricanes in the past six years--first Ivan, then of course, Katrina. It`s not the idea of a storm that scares them. It`s the uncertainty of what it would do to all that oil in the Gulf. (Begin VT) KELLY COBIELLA: With oil still streaming to shore and spewing at sea, Deborah Davis can`t help but worry about the storm brewing hundreds of miles away. DEBORAH DAVIS: Oh, I`m scared. Yeah, I`m very scared. You`re constantly being told that the worst hasn`t come yet. KELLY COBIELLA: As in the worst of the oil. BP is capturing nearly twenty- four thousand barrels and making progress on a bare of relief wells. They need five days warning before the storm to shut everything down. ADMIRAL THAD ALLEN (National Incident Commander for Gulf Oil Spill): We will start to redeploy the-- the equipment from the well site, redeploy other equipment to safe venues. KELLY COBIELLA: The problem is hurricanes are always hard to predict. DAVE PRICE (EARLY SHOW Weather Anchor): It`s moving slowly towards the west at about ten miles per hour. The map though, will show multiple possibilities from where the storm can track--north, south, east, and west. KELLY COBIELLA: For now, boats are skimming the water and clean-up crews are scraping the sand. In Louisiana, some are even fishing again. Craig Bielkiewicz has brought in thirty-five speckled trout from a fishing spot near his home in Grand Isle, Friday. CRAIG BIELKIEWICZ: I`m just glad to be out on the water now. There`s not dealing with no oil. KELLY COBIELLA: Deborah Davis wants to work as well. She`s trying to drum up business for her salon among the crowds of clean-up crews in Alabama for the summer, and praying her home is spared another disaster. DEBORAH DAVIS: Half an hour, okay. (End VT) KELLY COBIELLA: If a storm heads this way, it could put efforts to capture oil on the sea floor on hold for as long as two weeks. Erica. ERICA HILL: Kelly, two weeks seems like an awfully long time. Why so long? KELLY COBIELLA: Well first of all, it`s like a floating city out at that spill site. There are a lot of ships out there and there`s a lot of equipment to disconnect. BP says it needs five days to move all of those ships out of the way and into safer waters. And then, needs more time yet again to re-hook this containment system once the threat passes. They`re now working on a plan to shorten that time frame to about two days, and trying to develop a different system that would be easier to disconnect and hook back up. ERICA HILL: Even at two days, still tight, especially when you`re working under these conditions. Kelly, thanks. President Obama, meantime, is in Canada this weekend where this afternoon he will meet with world leaders of the G- 20 Summit. CBS News chief White House correspondent Chip Reid joins us live from Toronto this morning, with the latest. Chip, good morning. Page 85 Oil and Water; Obama Attending G-20; Murder Confession Stands in Peru; Soccer Stars in American Summer Sports; More Women Choosing Against Parenthood, CBS CBS News Transcripts June 26, 2010 Saturday

CHIP REID (CBS News Chief White House Correspondent): Well good morning, Erica. They`ll be discussing a wide range of issues here in Toronto today, but the focus will be on rescuing the global economy. (Begin VT) CHIP REID: Before leaving for the summit, the President won a major victory--the House and Senate agreeing to his historic legislation to reform Wall Street. PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA: This weekend, in Toronto, I hope we can build on this progress by coordinating our efforts to promote economic growth, to pursue financial reform, and strengthen the global economy. CHIP REID: Today, he begins that effort meeting with the leaders of China, South Korea, and the newly-elected prime minister of the United Kingdom. The President will use those meetings not only to work on the economy but also to address the Mission in Afghanistan, following a week in which the President changed leadership there. PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA: We are in full-- CHIP REID: He`ll talk about the Gulf oil spill in his first face-to-face meeting with the UK`s David Cameron. The President will reiterate that BP, a British company, will be expected to cover all costs. On the economy, Mister Obama will push all leaders to do their part to continue stimulus programs when many feel the increasing need to reduce their mounting debt. STEWART PATRICK (Council on Foreign Relations): The crux of the challenge in Toronto is for each of these countries in the-- including the United States, to independently figure out where to strike that balance between domestic stimulus packages and a return to fiscal sanity. (End VT) CHIP REID: Now some European countries are so spooked by that Greek debt crisis that-- that they`re cutting way back on their stimulus programs. They`re raising taxes and cutting spending. The President will urge them not to move too quickly on that front out of fear that will slow down the global economic recovery. Erica. ERICA HILL: So clearly Chip, in that respect, two very different camps. Any chance that there will be some sort of a middle ground there, a meeting of the minds? CHIP REID: I think that the President`s going to do his best to find some middle ground. But I think in the end, they`re going to agree to disagree. ERICA HILL: Here in U.S., of course, news of financial reform yesterday on the bill on Friday--banks stocks soaring. It seemed like investors were happy that it wasn`t a little more strict apparently. CHIP REID: They were. At the last minute there were some changes that made it a little less tough on banks. It`s still a very tough bill but not quite as tough as they had feared. Also banks were very happy that at least now there`s some kind of certainty so they can plan for the future. ERICA HILL: Before we let you go, the President will be meeting for his first, I believe, face-to-face meeting with Prime Minister David Cameron of Great Britain. Any idea on how that meeting is expected to go especially in light of everything that`s happening with BP right now? CHIP REID: Well, I don`t think it will be tensed or contentious. I think the President will make clear that he expects BP to pay all the costs here. But this is a really important meeting and they want to get off on the right foot. And I think it will be full of all sorts of diplomatic niceties. Erica. ERICA HILL: And a lot of people would like to be little flies on the wall there-- CHIP REID: Oh yes, absolutely. ERICA HILL: --even with the diplomatic niceties. Chip, thanks. CHIP REID: You bet. ERICA HILL: Rebecca Jarvis is standing by at the news desk this morning with a look at the rest of the day`s headlines. Good morning. Page 86 Oil and Water; Obama Attending G-20; Murder Confession Stands in Peru; Soccer Stars in American Summer Sports; More Women Choosing Against Parenthood, CBS CBS News Transcripts June 26, 2010 Saturday

REBECCA JARVIS: Good morning Erica, good morning Anthony, and good morning to everybody who`s standing by at home. Former Vice President Dick Cheney has been admitted to a Washington, DC, hospital after experiencing discomfort. He`s expected to spend the weekend there undergoing tests. The sixty-nine-year-old Cheney has a long history of heart trouble but it`s not known if this latest issue is related to his heart. He has five heart attacks, the most recent of which was in February. Parts of Minnesota are cleaning up and drying out after getting battered by severe weather. A tornado took down trees and power lines in the small town of Revere in the southwestern part of the state. Not far away, a tornado caused minor damage in New Ulm and heavy rains drenched the Twin cities, stalling cars and knocking out power to thousands. In Peru a judge has ruled that Joran van der Sloot`s confession to killing a young Peruvian woman is legally valid. CBS News correspondent Dave Browde reports. (Begin VT) DAVE BROWDE: The decision is a serious blow to Van der Sloot. Though his lawyer promises an appeal, the Peru- vian judge refused to throw out his confession to the murder of twenty-one-year-old Stephany Flores. Van der Sloot had claimed Peruvian police violated his rights and that he signed the confession in a panic. The judge said, no, that Van der Sloot had been given an attorney and a translator. (Enrique Flores speaking foreign language) DAVE BROWDE: The brother of Van der Sloot`s alleged victim hailed the decision and said his family has been in touch with the family of Natalie Holloway, the Alabama teenager who disappeared in Aruba in 2005. Van der Sloot has been described as the suspect in that disappearance. But Van der Sloot has not been charged in the Holloway disappearance. Peruvian police say Van der Sloot computer contained e-mails relating to the case. In his confession, Van der Sloot said he killed Flores after she read one of those e-mails. Dave Browde, CBS News, New York. (End VT) REBECCA JARVIS: The newly-chosen commander of U.S. Forces in Afghanistan paid a visit to his hometown region north of New York. On Friday, General David Petraeus paid tribute to more than four hundred veterans, including one hundred recipients of the Purple Heart. Later, he gave the commencement speech at the nearby Cornwall High School where he graduated in 1970. GENERAL DAVID PETRAEUS (Commander of U.S. Forces in Afghanistan): Now planning and acting will get you a reasonable distance in life, but they`re not enough. To accomplish truly meaningful tasks, you have to allow yourself big dreams. And you have to believe you can turn them into reality and then ensure that the other members of your organization believe the same. REBECCA JARVIS: President Obama picked General Petraeus for the job in Afghanistan after General Stanley Mc- Chrystal resigned in the wake of critical comments made about the President`s war team. It`s about a quarter past the hour. Here`s Lonnie Quinn with our first check of the weather. And Lonnie, good timing for Petraeus on that speech. LONNIE QUINN: Well, you know what? Yes. There`s no doubt about that. But what there is a doubt about? I have to jump right into this, Tropical Storm Alex. Where is it going? ERICA HILL: Where is it going? LONNIE QUINN: This is the first-named storm in the Atlantic hurricane season. It`s one of my big headlines here. Yes, the Central Plains are heating up around Dodge City. I see temperatures up around hundred degrees. The Midwest remains unsettled. Minnesota, a tough day yesterday, another tough day again today. This is Tropical Storm Alex, right now, about two hundred miles to the east of Belize City. That`s where we find the close center circulation. That`s what I`m talking to Rebecca about. Where is this thing going? As of right now, we`re pretty convinced it`s going to make its way across the Yucatan Peninsula and probability says it remains in the western half of the Gulf of Mexico. The oil spill is of course, in the eastern half of the Gulf of Mexico. However, this is not a guarantee. This is what we believe is going Page 87 Oil and Water; Obama Attending G-20; Murder Confession Stands in Peru; Soccer Stars in American Summer Sports; More Women Choosing Against Parenthood, CBS CBS News Transcripts June 26, 2010 Saturday to happen. There are some of the models that will take it, once it emerges off the Gulf, off the Yucatan right toward Florida City. Just a really tough go-- actually, I`m sorry, it`s around Panama City. But you do not want an oil slick and a tropical storm anywhere close to each other. And we have that right now. And this is the situation we`re going to stay on top off, that`s the current situation. We have more coming up a little bit later in the show. But here`s a closer look at the weather for your weekend. (LOCAL WEATHER BREAK) LONNIE QUINN: Great day wherever you are. Anthony, over to you. ANTHONY MASON: Thanks, Lonnie. Soccer, surprisingly, it`s become one of the summer`s most popular pastimes thanks to the U.S. teams excellent showing in the World Cup. Today, the Americans have their next big test against Ghana. CBS News correspondent Elaine Quijano reports. (Begin VT) ELAINE QUIJANO: For American soccer fans, hopes are soaring. A win for the U.S. national team against Ghana would mean advancing to a quarterfinal match-up. Could we be seeing the new boys of summer here? JEFF AGOOS (Scouting Director, New York Red Bulls): I-- I hope so. We`re a little bit of the underdog. You know, we`ve had several calls that have gone against us. ELAINE QUIJANO: Americans are paying attention with interest fueled by soccer star Landon Donovan and social networking sites. STEPHEN MASTER (Vice President, Nielsen Sports): Seven days prior to World Cup was the most-talked about and most-buzzed about thing on the internet, much more than even the NBA Finals, U.S. Open Golf, the Stanley Cup. ELAINE QUIJANO: And television viewership is going up, up, up. Seventeen point one million people tuned in for the first U.S. World Cup match and overall viewership in this country is up sixty-eight percent in comparison to the last World Cup in 2006. The sport is becoming popular enough to bank on. This newly-built two- hundred-fifty-million-dollar arena seats twenty-five thousand people and has already sold out three times since the season kicked off in March. JEFF AGOOS: It is the most popular participatory sport of-- of all the sports. You have millions of kids playing it. ELAINE QUIJANO: New generations boosting the sport`s popularity, helping to cheer on the U.S. national team to victory. Elaine Quijano, CBS News, New York. (End VT) ANTHONY MASON: In 1999, Brandi Chastain was immortalized after her game- winning goal clinched the victory for American women in the Women`s World Cup final. She`s been following every game of this World Cup and joins us from Mountain View, California. Good morning, Brandi. It`s great to see you. BRANDI CHASTAIN (1999 Women`s World Cup Champion/Reach UP! Foundation): Good morning. Thank you very much. ANTHONY MASON: Now you`ve been watching this. How do you think the Americans were doing? BRANDI CHASTAIN: Oh, I-- I think we`ve been doing an amazing job. Number one, because I-- I heard in the report, you know, we`ve had a few calls not go our way. And we never gave up. And I like what the team-- where the team is mentally. That they`ve-- they`ve understood that they`re going to have to battle for every minute in these games. And-- and they`ve never-- they`ve really never conceded to the other team. And I think the game against Ghana today, is going to prove how strong they are as a unit but also how talented they are as individuals. So I`m very excited. ANTHONY MASON: Of course, in the last World Cup it was Ghana who eliminated the U.S. BRANDI CHASTAIN: Right. Page 88 Oil and Water; Obama Attending G-20; Murder Confession Stands in Peru; Soccer Stars in American Summer Sports; More Women Choosing Against Parenthood, CBS CBS News Transcripts June 26, 2010 Saturday

ANTHONY MASON: How far do you think this team can really go? BRANDI CHASTAIN: I-- I believe they`ll win this game today and perhaps even make it to the semifinals. You know, this-- this next game will prove that we may not be as fast and strong as Ghana in a physical sense. But I think in terms of teamwork, as a unit moving up and back, we`ve got one of the world`s best, if not the world`s best goalkeeper in Tim Howard. We`ve got center midfielder who`s kind of gone under the radar in Michael Bradley who I think, has a kind of composure to be the midfield general that we need to support players like Clint Dempsey and Landon Donovan and Jozy Altidore. So I feel that we`re a team that maybe at this stage now people will overlook and I think we`ll get a victory. ANTHONY MASON: Brandi, Landon Donovan who you`ve just mentioned had an extraordinary moment in the last game, of course. BRANDI CHASTAIN: Yeah. ANTHONY MASON: You know, in scoring the-- the winning goal in the final moments. You`ve got to be able to re- late to this. What is-- you scored a goal like that. What-- what do you think he was feeling then and what`s he feeling now? BRANDI CHASTAIN: Well, I think number one, he was feeling the joy that comes along with being able to contribute on such a huge level and push your team to that victory. That`s-- that`s something you dream about as a young child on the playground. So I`ve seen Landon score many important goals before, but probably none more important than the one he scored the other day. And, you know what, having watch Landon mature as a player over the years, I`m-- I`m so happy for him because he`s carried the weight of the national team for a long time on his young shoulders and-- and he`s done a fabulous job. But he has got teammates I think who support him and-- and really help him be able to do the things he`s best at. And I think today Clint Dempsey is going to score a goal that`s going to-- to really wow the fans. So, I`m very excited for him as well. ANTHONY MASON: Brandi, quickly, one last question for you. Soccer has made a number of runs at popularity in this country but never really fully broken through. Do you think this can do that? BRANDI CHASTAIN: You know I don`t-- I don`t think us winning the World Cup is going to make all of a sudden soccer bigger than the NFL in this country. However, what is this-- this team is doing, this players are doing is it`s changing the perception about how exciting soccer is and that are young American players are worth going to the stadium to watch. And like-- like your report said, there`s millions of young soccer players in this country participating in the sport. And now, it`s as if they have somewhere to look to dream of-- to-- to-- you know, set their future on. And really to enjoy the-- the virtues and values of teamwork and-- and all the other lessons that I`ve learned-- ANTHONY MASON: Yeah. BRANDI CHASTAIN: --playing on the field. So, I think what it will do will escalate the MLS. It will also shine a light on the players that are playing overseas in different leagues-- ANTHONY MASON: Okay. BRANDI CHASTAIN: --and it will grow the sport. ANTHONY MASON: All right, Brandi. Thank you so much for joining us this morning. BRANDI CHASTAIN: Absolutely. ANTHONY MASON: And we`ll be looking forward we know you have a benefit game for your Twin Foundation on October 2nd with Mia Hamm joining you there. We`ll be looking forward to that. BRANDI CHASTAIN: Wonderful. Thank you. ANTHONY MASON: Erica. ERICA HILL: All right. Still ahead, Anthony, why more women are now choosing not to have children. ANTHONY MASON: Plus, all kids get scared, but is your child, too afraid of certain things? Child psychologist Doctor Jennifer Hartstein tells us what`s appropriate and what could signal a problem. That`s all coming up. You`re watching THE EARLY SHOW on CBS. Page 89 Oil and Water; Obama Attending G-20; Murder Confession Stands in Peru; Soccer Stars in American Summer Sports; More Women Choosing Against Parenthood, CBS CBS News Transcripts June 26, 2010 Saturday

(ANNOUNCEMENTS) ERICA HILL: One in five women of child-bearing age are now opting not to have kids. Those new numbers from a new Pew Research study and the numbers have some people really popping their eyes at this one. It`s a figure that`s doubled in the last thirty years. So for some insight this morning and to why women are making this choice, we`re joined by Doctor Jenn Berman, who`s a marriage, family and child therapist and the host of Sirius XM`s Cosmo Radio and a good friend of THE EARLY SHOW, nice to have you back, this morning. DR. JENN BERMAN (Psychotherapist): Thanks so much. ERICA HILL: Is there one simple reason you can point to that-- that this number has actually doubled that more women are saying, you know what, I don`t think I want to be a mother. DR. JENN BERMAN: Well, there are a number of reasons. And, according to the Pew study, sixty percent of adults surveyed said that they don`t think that having a child is necessary to have a happy marriage. We also have so many more birth control options so that having a child has become a choice as opposed to something that just sort of happens to us. And also families are waiting and making more responsible decisions, economically and emotionally. ERICA HILL: You bring up two good points. There are not only the waiting, but the more choices for women. So there isn`t as much pressure to have a child. How much of this may have to do with that challenge of-- of having it all? DR. JENN BERMAN: Well, I think that we can have it all. And I think that there are so many great role models. You`re certainly one of them. We see politicians. We see CEOs. And I think that there are more and more great role models for women. But I also think that we`re also trying to figure out how to do it and how to make it happen and what it likes like and if we want it, because having a child used to be something that wasn`t a choice. It was kind of a cultural mandate. But now we have choices. ERICA HILL: Eighteen percent of women ages forty to forty-four have never given birth. Now, that-- that number is up as well. And-- and you mentioned it used to be that we didn`t have the choice. It was sort of this cultural pressure. Are women happier, you think? DR. JENN BERMAN: I do think that women are happier because we have more choices. I think that in the past we just did it because that was what-- what was expected of us. We didn`t have that many choices so it just kind of happened. But now, women are really thinking very carefully about whether they want to have children. ERICA HILL: There`s also-- there were some-- there were some interesting figures in here to-- when it comes to marriage that forty-one percent believe now that children are important for a successful marriage. That`s down from sixty- five percent. Marriage really isn`t just about children. DR. JENN BERMAN: It`s not. And more couples are realizing that. And more couples are realizing that they don`t have to have children to have a great life and that there are so many other things that they can enjoy and that relationships can be complete without children, if that`s what you want. ERICA HILL: And, you mention that in some ways this is a more responsible choice, because obviously, if you don`t think you`d be a good parent. Then, maybe it`s not a good idea to have a child. Is there anything wrong with a woman saying, I choose not to have a child. DR. JENN BERMAN: There is not. I commend any woman who has the insight to know that motherhood is not for her. I think it`s a-- it`s a great choice and I`m glad that more and more women are taking a look at the options and saying, hey, this isn`t for me. ERICA HILL: And it-- the thing that`s interesting is, because I do have a few-- a few friends who have said, look, I don`t-- I don`t think kids are for me. I don`t-- but it`s amazing the pressure, even though there`s less societal pressure, they still do get a lot of pressure when people say, oh, you`ll change your mind. I mean is there ever a point where women finally knows, okay I`m not going to have to regrets, this is my choice. DR. JENN BERMAN: Well, I think that there are no guarantees when it comes to regrets and you want to kind of attempt to look into the future and think about what it is that you want. And having a child because you don`t want to grow old alone is not a good reason. ERICA HILL: Mm-Hm. Page 90 Oil and Water; Obama Attending G-20; Murder Confession Stands in Peru; Soccer Stars in American Summer Sports; More Women Choosing Against Parenthood, CBS CBS News Transcripts June 26, 2010 Saturday

DR. JENN BERMAN: You want to have a child because you want, you have that love to give and you`re willing to put that energy out and want to be a parent. ERICA HILL: Doctor Jenn Berman, always great to have you with us. Thank you. DR. JENN BERMAN: Thanks so much. ERICA HILL: Just ahead, prisoners of love for the King of Pop, it is a new twist on a famous "Thriller" dance, which was done behind bars--they`re out, and you can`t hold them back. We`re taking the Under The Radar, next on THE EARLY SHOW on CBS. (ANNOUNCEMENTS) ERICA HILL: It is time now for our weekly trip Under The Radar, which I know is why you agreed to be here-- ANTHONY MASON: This is it. ERICA HILL: --this morning. ANTHONY MASON: Well, actually it was what`s here in front of us here, but we`ll talk about that later. First up from the website funnyordie.com, two Milwaukee cousins named Jack and Jake, who call themselves Almost Twins. They like to high-five at big event like the World Cup in South Africa. You can see locals and soccer stars alike, get into the act. Jack and Jake have also high-fived their way through Hollywood, President Obama`s inauguration and the Super Bowl in Miami. ERICA HILL: You know they actually stopped by our platform when we`re at the inauguration into the low high-five. ANTHONY MASON: These guys need a job, sorry. ERICA HILL: Up next, one man`s trash is another man`s tree house, and what a tree house it is. Linnie Woods of Dick- son, Oklahoma, has used scraps of wood from nearby construction sites to build an eighty-foot palace in the sky. He says he`s used more than a million nails, claims the house is structurally sound. I don`t know if I want to be the one to test it, however. ANTHONY MASON: Last, but not least, you may remember those Philippine prisoners and their homage to Michael Jackson`s "Thriller" dance. Fifteen hundred convicted murderers, rapists and drug dealers strutting to the King of Pop. Forty-two million people watched it on YouTube. ERICA HILL: Forty-two million and counting I think. Well, turns out that the man who played Michael Jackson, no longer in jail. He says his fame actually won him a release from prison, but he has not forgotten how he got there. There you see him on Friday. There he was with some of his former inmates honoring the first anniversary of Jackson`s death with another "Thriller" tribute. I like they`re channeling the orange jumpsuit from prison. By the way, ANTHONY MASON: Yeah. ERICA HILL: The prison is going to open at the doors to about three hundred people as the inmates once again perform an homage to Michael Jackson. Paid off, really paid off. I had no idea it would work out that way for them. Still ahead, we`re making your favorite summer cocktails with a fraction of the calories. Bring on the bikini. It`s THE EARLY SHOW. (ANNOUNCEMENTS)

HIGHLIGHT: As BP reports record losses following the Gulf oil spill, CEO Tony Hayward is on his way out. A huge leak of military secrets has the White House and Pentagon scrambling to tighten security and save face. After getting rid of three top officials, angry voters in California go after the city council. French nuns score a big record deal.

BETTY NGUYEN: Shakeup: As BP reports record losses following the Gulf oil spill, CEO Tony Hayward is on his way out. Damage Control: A huge leak of military secrets has the White House and Pentagon scrambling to tighten security and save face. And, Up in Arms: After getting rid of three top officials, angry voters in California go after the city council. MAN: You failed to do your job. You failed to listen to us about our taxes. And you guys do not deserve to be running the city. BETTY NGUYEN: This is the CBS MORNING NEWS for Tuesday, July 27, 2010. Good morning, everybody. And thanks for joining us. I`m Betty Nguyen. We begin with a change in command at the top of BP forced by the oil spill at the bottom of the Gulf. Tony Hayward who said he wanted his life back will have a chance to find it, in Russia. He`ll be replaced by an American. Let`s get the latest now from Charlie DÀgata in London. Good morning, Charlie. CHARLIE DÀGATA: Good morning to you Betty. BP has finally given boss Tony Hayward the boot, though the company said it was deeply saddened Hayward would be stepping down, but he walks away with a year`s salary, plus benefits, plus a retirement worth a million dollars a year for life. (Begin VT) CHARLIE DÀGATA: Tony Hayward won`t be BP`s CEO much longer. Early this morning, the company announced he`ll step down October 1st and will be nominated for a new role at BP`s joint venture in Russia. The energy giant released this statement saying the decision was made by "Mutual agreement." For nearly two months, Hayward was the face of BP`s response in the Gulf. TONY HAYWARD: I`m devastated by the accident, absolutely devastated. CHARLIE DÀGATA: But he came under fire after his many missteps and misstatements. Page 93 Hayward Out as BP Reports Record Losses; Military Leak Spurs Scramble to Tighten Security; Angry Californians Look to Oust Overpaid City Council, CBS CBS News Transcripts July 27, 2010 Tuesday

TONY HAYWARD (May 18): I think the environmental impact of this disaster is likely to have been very, very mod- est. (May 31): There`s no one who wants this thing over more than I do. You know, I`d like my life back CHARLIE DÀGATA: BP also announced Hayward`s replacement, current chief operating officer and Mississippi native Bob Dudley. BOB DUDLEY (June 7): It`s tragic and it`s very apparent that it`s very tragic CHARLIE DÀGATA: Dudley is a newcomer to BP`s Board, joining just eighteen months ago. He was considered for CEO in 2007, but lost out to Hayward. He`ll be BP`s first American CEO. MIKE PAUL (President, MGP and Associates PR): He`s not only American. He is someone from the district, from the Gulf area, which is a big thing. He is someone who is actively involved with cleaning up the mess. CHARLIE DÀGATA: The personnel shake up may also help BP`s bottom line. The company reported a loss of seventeen billion dollars for the second quarter and plans to sell up to thirty billion dollars worth of assets to cover damages and claims in the Gulf. (End VT) CHARLIE DÀGATA: Now Bob Dudley has risen quickly at BP since the oil spill. As analysts put it, he`s got two things going for him. He speaks with an American accent and he`s not Tony Hayward. Betty. BETTY NGUYEN: Well, Charlie we know the reaction here to news of Hayward`s departure. But what`s the reaction over there? CHARLIE DÀGATA: Well, there`s been a great deal of sympathy as Brits look across the Atlantic to the disaster in the Gulf and the ecological situation there. But not to put it callously, there`s a lot of Brits, millions of Brits, who have their pensions tied up in BP, so the sooner BP can get past this disaster, get past the cleanup and get to a healthier bottom line, the better for everybody. Betty. BETTY NGUYEN: Charlie DÀgata in London for us, joining us live. Charlie, thank you. In other news, in Afghanistan this morning, NATO confirmed it has recovered the body of a U.S. navy sailor killed in a- - a Taliban ambush. He`s identified as Petty Officer Justin McNeley, age thirty, the nephew of a Colorado state`s legis- lator. McNeley was one of two Americans who went missing on Friday. Their shot-up vehicle found eighty miles south of Kabul. The Taliban claimed they captured the other sailor alive. Also this morning, continued fallout from a NATO airstrike Friday in southern Afghanistan. NATO command is denying Afghan government claims that the helicopter cat-- attack killed fifty-two civilians. A NATO spokesman says it investigated the incident and found that six Taliban fighters were killed, but no civilians. In Washington, the Obama administration is in full damage control mode following that huge leak of military secrets. More than ninety thousand field reports from U.S. troops in Afghanistan were released by the WikiLeaks website, which says it will post even more soon. David Martin reports. (Begin VT) DAVID MARTIN (CBS News National Security Correspondent): Most of the reports document what is already well known. For years, the U.S. has not had enough troops in Afghanistan, resulting in this record of a remote outpost calling for help as they are nearly overrun. We are taking casualties, enemy in the wire. The Afghan government has been corrupt and inefficient. According to this document, the general view of the Afghans is that the current government is worse than the Taliban. American air strikes and commando raids have killed too many civilians. This report describes a raid that was intended to take out a high-ranking al Qaeda operative but ended up killing children instead. The Pentagon says it will be take days, if not weeks, to determine the damage done by the massive leak of classified material. Bruce Reidel, who directed a review of the Afghan war at the start of the Obama administration, says the sight of so many secret documents on the web is likely to discourage Afghans from risking their lives to help the U.S. for fear of winding up on the internet and becoming targets. BRUCE REIDEL (Brookings Institute): Intelligence collection in Afghanistan has been hard from the get go. And to the extent this makes it harder, it makes the challenge of winning in Afghanistan even harder than it was. Page 94 Hayward Out as BP Reports Record Losses; Military Leak Spurs Scramble to Tighten Security; Angry Californians Look to Oust Overpaid City Council, CBS CBS News Transcripts July 27, 2010 Tuesday

DAVID MARTIN: Military officers assume this was done by twenty-two-year-old private first-class Bradley Manning, who has already been charged with downloading this classified video of a helicopter gunship killing civilians in Bagh- dad. MAN: Come on. DAVID MARTIN: That video subsequently showed up on WikiLeaks. MAN: Clear. DAVID MARTIN: And there`s more to come. WikiLeaks claims it`s getting another fifteen thousand documents ready for release. David Martin, CBS News, the Pentagon. (End VT) BETTY NGUYEN: A short walk from the Pentagon is Arlington National Cemetery and the scandal there is growing this morning. Arlington is the resting place for more than three hundred thousand Americans. And a U.S. senator investigating the cemetery now says thousands of graves may be mislabeled. She calls it, quote, "heartbreaking incompe- tence." On the CBS MoneyWatch, it was downhill for most stocks in Asia this morning. Alexis Christoforous is here in New York with the latest on that. Good morning, Alexis. ALEXIS CHRISTOFOROUS: And good morning to you, Betty. We`ll begin with the Asian markets where stocks edged down today after a very light day of trading. Japan`s Nikkei lost a fraction and Hong Kong`s Hang Seng saw a late day rally. Today, Wall Street gets the latest on consumer confidence. On Monday, better than expected news about home sales gave stocks a boost. In the end, the Dow gained almost one hundred one points, its third straight triple- digit rally. The NASDAQ added nearly twenty-seven. Both indexes are now in the black for the year. BP has set aside thirty-two billion dollars to cover the costs of the Gulf oil spill. That led the company to post a record loss of seventeen billion dollars for the second quarter. BP stock rallied nearly five percent Monday, after the company said Tony Hayward will resign as head of the oil giant in October. iPhone owners can now legally jailbreak their phones. Jailbreaking means changing the electronic locks to download apps and other software not sanctioned by Apple. Millions of users had already been doing this without permission, but Monday the government changed its copyright law to allow the practice. The ruling is seen as a major victory for con- sumers, but Apple warns if you damage your phone trying to unlock it, your warranty probably won`t hold. And, Continental is the first U.S. airline to introduce self-boarding. It`s testing the procedure at a gate in Houston. In- stead of handing their pass to an agent, travelers can scan their tickets at an automatic boarding gate that opens a door to the jet bridge. Self-boarding is common in Europe and transportation officials say it doesn`t impact the safety of the public. I don`t know about you, Betty, I`m all for getting on the plane quicker, but I think I`d actually like a person to be there for this part. BETTY NGUYEN: Yeah. And when you think about it, okay, so we go online and we can book our tickets there by ourselves, right? ALEXIS CHRISTOFOROUS: Right. BETTY NGUYEN: And then when we get there, we check in by ourselves. Now we can board by ourselves. So does that mean our ticket prices are going to go down? ALEXIS CHRISTOFOROUS: Oh, I somehow, I just don`t think so. BETTY NGUYEN (overlapping): I don`t think so, unfortunately. ALEXIS CHRISTOFOROUS: You got it. BETTY NGUYEN: All right. Alexis Christoforous joining us live here in New York. Thank you, Alexis. Page 95 Hayward Out as BP Reports Record Losses; Military Leak Spurs Scramble to Tighten Security; Angry Californians Look to Oust Overpaid City Council, CBS CBS News Transcripts July 27, 2010 Tuesday

ALEXIS CHRISTOFOROUS: Sure. BETTY NGUYEN: Just ahead this morning, new pay cuts for a city council in California. Plus, Sister Act. French nuns score a big record deal. First though, Katie Couric has a preview of tonight`s CBS EVENING NEWS. KATIE COURIC: It`s not just happening in the state of Arizona. Why a town far from the border is also pushing for controversial new immigration laws. We`ll have that story and more, tonight, only on THE CBS EVENING NEWS. (ANNOUNCEMENTS) BETTY NGUYEN: Check it out. In California, a wildfire has destroyed six homes northeast of Bakersfield, in the mountain community of Kernville. The former gold rush town is near the Sequoia National Forest. And it`s a popular whitewater rafting destination. The fire has grown to two thousand acres and has forced some evacuations. But no injuries have been reported so far. Outraged residents have forced the overpaid members of city government in Bell, California to slash their pay. But that`s not enough to satisfy some of the town`s voters. Sandra Hughes reports. (Begin VT) SANDRA HUGHES: An angry mob gathered outside city hall ready to face off with city officials. This meeting is packed because four out of five of Bell City Council members, including the mayor, make one hundred thousand dollars a year for their part-time jobs. The Bell City Manager who made almost eight hundred thousand dollars a year and his assistant resigned last week. So did Bell`s police chief who took home an annual salary of more than four hundred fifty thousand dollars. This crowd wanted more resignations. MAN: You failed to do your job. You failed to listen to us about our taxes. And you guys do not deserve to be running the city. SANDRA HUGHES: The council unanimously voted to take a ninety percent pay cut. MAYOR OSCAR HERNANDEZ (Bell, California): Yes. And I`m willing to give away my pay to-- to zero. TERESA JACOBO (Councilwoman): I will resign to my salary, but I will not resign to my position. WOMAN: We don`t want you here and we aren`t your people. SANDRA HUGHES: California`s attorney general is investigating how a community with sixteen percent unemployment could legally give such salaries. JERRY BROWN (California Attorney General): We want to find out exactly how they ever came to the conclusion that city officials should make so much money. In one case, in two cases, more than the President of the United States. SANDRA HUGHES: Over the weekend, residents marched through town to the council members` homes demanding action. They didn`t get it, so they showed up here at the meeting where Bell City Council members had said they would discuss the future of the city. Instead they ended up deciding their own. Sandra Hughes, CBS News, Bell, California. (End VT) BETTY NGUYEN: And we`ll continue to follow that story for you. But in other news, a group of French nuns has signed a record deal with Lady Gaga`s label. (Nun singing) BETTY NGUYEN: They sound pretty good. The nuns sing Gregorian chants and they were chosen over seventy other convents from around the world. They live in seclusion from the world and any contact with the sisters is made through a grill. They have taken a vow of poverty. So royalties from the album will go into running their abbey in southern France.

Straight ahead, your Tuesday morning weather. And in sports, and the year of the pitcher, another no-hitter. (ANNOUNCEMENTS) BETTY NGUYEN: Time now for a check of the national forecast. The latest satellite picture shows storms moving across the Southeast, while clouds stretch from the Rockies all the way into the Northern Plains. Later today, severe thunderstorms will roll through the northern half of the country. High heat and humidity will be felt from the Southeast through the Plains while back at-- back along the West Coast, temperatures are cool and comfortable. In sports, the fifth no-hitter in baseball this season, Tampa Bay`s Matt Garza got a fly ball in the ninth inning for the last out of his no-hitter against Detroit. He faced only twenty-seven batters in the five-nothing win. Garza says he was happy to pitch the first no-hitter in team history. MATT GARZA (Tampa Bay Rays Pitcher): It`s the first no-hitter I`ve ever had so. And I`m pretty pumped about that and it`s great that-- that-- you know yeah, I was the first one to do it. It`s a young franchise. I have a feeling that they are going to have many more to come. BETTY NGUYEN: Tampa Bay`s first no-hitter leaves only two Major League teams that have never had no-hitters--the New York Mets and San Diego Padres. The Yankees` Curtis Granderson blasted a two-run homer to right field against Cleveland, and New York pulled out a 3 to 2 win over the Indians. And Boston`s David Ortiz hit two home runs against the Angels in Los Angeles. Newly-acquired Angels` pitcher Dan Haren was hit by a line drive and had to leave the game. The Red Sox beat the Angels, 6 to 3. When we return, another look at this morning`s top stories, and national security challenges in the wake of the Wiki- Leaks controversy. (ANNOUNCEMENTS) BETTY NGUYEN: Here`s another look at this morning`s top stories for you. BP Shakeup: The CEO is on his way out and an American will take over the job of trying to make good on the Gulf oil spill disaster. And, War Secrets: The Obama White House faces new troubles in the already- troubled Afghanistan war after a huge leak of secret Pentagon documents. The leak of classified documents marks the latest chapter in the age-old conflict between freedom of the press and national security. Jeff Greenfield takes a closer look at the issue in the age of the internet. (Begin VT) JEFF GREENFIELD (CBS News Senior Political Correspondent): The massive release of documents came not from a news organization but from WikiLeaks, a three-and-a-half-year-old online site with no headquarters, no physical presence anywhere, and with a history of releasing secrets of all sorts, from rulebooks for Guantanamo Bay to Icelandic bank records to sorority initiation rituals. JULIAN ASSANGE (Founder, WikiLeaks): Publicity is based on the truth. JEFF GREENFIELD: WikiLeaks` founder, thirty-nine-year-old Australian Julian Assange acknowledges that he has an agenda. JULIAN ASSANGE: We hope the release of this material will result in the significant reforms in U.S. and allied policy in Afghanistan. JEFF GREENFIELD: Traditional media outlets don`t talk that way, but then WikiLeaks is completely unlike traditional media. For instance, newspapers often consult governments before publishing potentially-damaging secrets. JIM HOAGLAND (Chief Foreign Correspondent, The Washington Post): I think it requires a lot of judgment on the part of people who are gatekeepers.

JEFF GREENFIELD: WikiLeaks released its Afghan war diary with no consultations. And there`s another key distinc- tion. Back in 1971, when the Nixon administration tried to stop the New York Times from publishing The Pentagon Papers, a classified history of Vietnam, the public had the paper`s history and reputation as a measuring rod. WikiLeaks is anonymous. FLOYD ABRAMS: We`re moving toward a society in which no secrets are safe, even though there is a need for some secrets. And to some extent, but we`re just going to have to get used to that. JEFF GREENFIELD: The press used to describe itself as a gatekeeper, deciding what information is solid enough, reli- able enough to make public. Now there are no gates. Jeff Greenfield, CBS News, New York. (End VT) BETTY NGUYEN: On a lighter note--what`s up, doc? How about a birthday? Bugs Bunny, the wisecracking cartoon rabbit turns seventy-years-old today. The carrot-chomping Looney Tunes staple made his starring debut in a short in 1940 called A Wild Hare. Well, since then Bugs has been in more than one hundred cartoons and even a few Hollywood movies. For many kids, though, he is simply the highlight of Saturday morning cartoon watching. I know he was for me as a kid. Well, this morning on THE EARLY SHOW, Julie Chen takes her-- on her dream job and goes to work at one of the world`s best restaurants. I`m Betty Nguyen. This is the CBS MORNING NEWS.

HIGHLIGHT: Gulf oil spill details. Parents of victims speak at a murderer`s sentencing.

CHRIS WRAGGE: Deepening Disaster: The oil in the Gulf gushes out, some estimating nearly three million gallons a day--where is it going, how soon will it get there? We`ll talk with a man who says he knows how big the spill really is. BRENT KING (Chelsea King`s Father): Since I learned of your arrest for Chelsea`s murder, I refused to speak your name. I have called you monster, sociopath, serial killer, animal. You are all of those things. CHRIS WRAGGE: Facing a Fiend: Double-killer John Albert Gardner is sentenced, as the parents of his teenaged victims speak openly about their pain. Miracle Boy: The nine-year-old sole survivor of the Dutch plane crash heads back home to Holland this morning, just hours after being told he`s lost his parents and brother, but still incredibly lucky to be alive. (Excerpt from Annie The Musical) CHRIS WRAGGE: No More Tomorrows: The little redheaded orphans formed a legendary cartoon strip, a famous Broadway musical, and a hit Hollywood movie. Now the cartoon is coming to an end after eighty-five years--so where`s the sun going to come out now. We`re asking early this Saturday morning, May 15, 2010. ANNOUNCER: From CBS News, it`s THE EARLY SHOW on Saturday morning with Chris Wragge and Erica Hill, live from Fifth Avenue in New York City. CHRIS WRAGGE: And, hi everyone. Welcome to THE EARLY SHOW here on a Saturday morning. I`m Chris Wragge. BETTY NGUYEN: Good morning, Chris. I`m Betty Nguyen, in for Erica Hill who is on maternity leave. CHRIS WRAGGE: If you haven`t seen this video yet-- BETTY NGUYEN: Uff. CHRIS WRAGGE: --you are missing out on a great national debate. (LAUGHING) BETTY NGUYEN: People are talking about-- I mean here, just take a look. CHRIS WRAGGE: The tiny dancers. I guess the big question is-- is it too much or too little? They are fantastic dancers, but the wardrobe and I guess some of the moves are coming in to question and it`s something everybody`s talking about. We`re going to continue to address it here this morning. BETTY NGUYEN: Yeah, the gyration and all of that. Page 99 For May 17, 2010, CBS CBS News Transcripts May 15, 2010 Saturday

Also talking about this clothing drive, asking folks to come on out and bring their clothes. Goodwill is looking for donations. We know you have clothing in your closet that you`re just not wearing, don`t know what to do with it--well, put it to good use. CHRIS WRAGGE: Wait till you hear how many clothes-- how many pounds of clothing-- BETTY NGUYEN: Mm-Hm. CHRIS WRAGGE: --every person throws out a year. We`re going to talk about that. It`s goodwill Saturday here, on THE SATURDAY EARLY SHOW, so if you do have some clothes and you`re in the area, come on down. And we`re also going to tell you how you can contribute nationwide. But first, we want to get to our top story this morning. BP technicians making yet another attempt to control the massive oil leak in the Gulf of Mexico. Meanwhile, the growing spill is taking a disastrous toll on the environment and the people who depend on the Gulf waters for their livelihood. CBS News correspondent Mark Strassmann live in Venice, Louisiana, with the very latest for us this morning. Mark, good morning to you. MARK STRASSMANN: Good morning to you, Chris. Thousands of tar balls have now washed up on one beach here. It`s the single biggest landfall of oil in Louisiana since this spill began. And one more reason why pressure and anger are both rising here to find a fix. (Begin VT) MARK STRASSMANN: The story of this spill lies in four million gallons floating in the Gulf or in the face of one fisherman kept out of the waters. MAN: I`ve been crabbing for almost forty years. It`s first time I couldn`t make a living. PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA: I saw firsthand the anger and frustration felt by our neighbors in the Gulf. And let me tell you, it is an anger and frustration that I share as President. MARK STRASSMANN: President Obama again lashed into BP, the oil giant responsible, and promised to overhaul what he called Big Oil`s cozy relationship with government regulators. PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA: For that there`s enough responsibility to go around. MARK STRASSMANN: And enough oil in a blob now the size of Delaware and Rhode Island combined. BP`s latest best hope to contain the spill threading a tube a mile down into the hole of the gushing pipeline. Once in place, it would funnel most of the oil to a surface ship. But no one`s gushing confidence it will work. DOUG SUTTLES (BP): So to my knowledge, it hasn`t been done before. MARK STRASSMANN: And this image of the ruptured pipe has poured more suspicion on BP. Several scientists believe the actual leak has been grossly underreported. Not five thousand barrels a day, but as much as fourteen times higher, seventy thousand barrels a day, which BP denies. (End VT) MARK STRASSMANN: If that tube doesn`t work, BP does have a handful of other possibilities in mind to try to get this oil under control. But none of them comes with a guarantee. In fact, none of them has ever even been tried before in waters this deep. Chris. CHRIS WRAGGE: CBS`s-- CBS News correspondent Mark Strassmann for us this morning. Mark, thank you. Frustrating to even hear this stuff. So just how much oil is pouring into the Gulf of Mexico? For that we turn to Ian MacDonald in Berkeley, California. He`s an oceanographer at Florida State University and an expert on measuring oil slicks. Mister MacDonald, good morning to you. IAN MACDONALD (Oceanographer, Florida State University): Good morning, Chris. CHRIS WRAGGE: When-- when you hear this, you hear this-- this new threading measure that they`re going to try, never been tried before, so it`s not a guarantee, and then a handful of other ideas that are actually out there that they could try, if this doesn`t work. What-- what does this tell you about their preparedness for dealing with a disaster right now, the people of BP? Page 100 For May 17, 2010, CBS CBS News Transcripts May 15, 2010 Saturday

IAN MACDONALD: Well, this is an unprecedented emergency. We`ve never had a spill of this magnitude at this depth and-- to go on for so long. And they have to be trying everything they can and they also have to understand that this is their-- beyond their previous experience. CHRIS WRAGGE: I want to show you this picture right now, just to remind the folks at home exactly, what`s going on as you and I are speaking right here--thousands and thousands of barrels and gallons of oil leaking into the Gulf. Now in an interview with The Guardian yesterday, the CEO of BP said the oil spill is quote, unquote, "tiny" in comparison to the entire size of the Gulf of Mexico. What is (LAUGHING) your response to a-- a quote like that? IAN MACDONALD: That is scandalous. We don`t need a filthy rich executive in his London penthouse telling the people of Louisiana and Florida that the Gulf of Mexico is tiny. CHRIS WRAGGE: It`s incredible. And you just saw a statement there that we just put on your screen a second ago and that said in quote and I`ll just review it for the folks, "...from the beginning the USCG, the NOAA, the BP have called the volume of oil released an educated estimate...whether 1,000, 5,000 or 10,000 barrels a day we have mounted a response to a worst case scenario." But how-- I mean, in your estimation it would help to know the accuracy of just how much oil is leaking into the Gulf? They seem to just kind of throw these numbers out each day--could be a thousand, could be ten thousand--what`re your thoughts on that? IAN MACDONALD: Well, we could be doing much better at estimating these rates both on the seafloor and on the surface. But the point is what surgeon would-- trying to save the life of a patient on the operating table would say I don`t need to know how bad the bleeding is? Of course, we need to know how bad the leak is because we need to know if these measures are working. So it`s essential to know how fast the oil is coming out of this leak and how much of it is reaching the surface. CHRIS WRAGGE (overlapping): We want to-- IAN MACDONALD: That`s the only way we`ll know if these measures that we`re taking are having any positive effect. CHRIS WRAGGE: We want to take a look at a satellite image we have from skytruth.org. With such a large amount of oil that`s leaking, is there, I guess, the possibility that we`re not seeing all of the damage or all the oil that`s out there? I mean, could this be a heck of a lot worse than what this picture just demonstrates? IAN MACDONALD: Well, the picture is frightening in and of itself. But they have sp-- they have sprayed-- coming up on half a million gallons of a dispersant--this is a chemical called Corexit; it`s a powerful detergent. And what it does is it breaks the oil down into tiny droplets that then stay suspended in the-- in the water and the underwater. So a- - a large fraction of the oil that`s been released is actually under the water at this point and we`re not entirely clear where it`s going as oceanographers. CHRIS WRAGGE: Mister MacDonald, thank you very much for taking the time this morning. It is a-- a sobering thought to think of the damage that is out there. Thank you. IAN MACDONALD: Thank you. CHRIS WRAGGE: All right. Now here`s Betty with our other top story this morning. BETTY NGUYEN: Convicted sex offender and confessed-killer John Gardner was sentenced Friday in a California courtroom for the rapes and murders of two teenaged girls. And as CBS News correspondent Ben Tracy reports, Gard- ner got quite an earful from the victims` families. (Begin VT) KELLY KING (Chelsea King`s Mother): And you now have to spend the rest of your life, an eternity in the worst and deepest parts of hell. BEN TRACY: The families of Chelsea King and Amber Dubois unloaded on the man who killed their daughters--John Gardner. Page 101 For May 17, 2010, CBS CBS News Transcripts May 15, 2010 Saturday

BRENT KING (Chelsea King`s Father): I want you to feel every day the same pain you inflicted on my daughter. That would be justice. BEN TRACY: The convicted killer could barely face them-- KELLY KING: Look at me. BEN TRACY: --and was emotional as the families gave him a reminder of exactly what he took from them. MAURICE DUBOIS (Amber Dubois` Father): I truly hope you suffer a hundred times the amount of pain you caused our families. You will burn in hell for the acts you have committed. BEN TRACY: In a phone interview, Gardner said he doesn`t think he will last long behind bars. JOHN GARDNER (April 2010; From KFMB-TV; on phone): I`m going to be dead within the next five years. You don`t know how prison works, do you? BEN TRACY: A fate his victims` families feel he deserves. BRENT KING: You will go from the hell of prison on Earth to the real hell. You should fear death. BEN TRACY: Ben Tracy, CBS News, Los Angeles. (End VT) BETTY NGUYEN: So does it help the family of a victim to confront their loved one`s killer? Joining us this morning criminal profiler Pat Brown in Washington, DC. Good morning, Pat. PAT BROWN (Criminal Profiler): Good morning, Betty. BETTY NGUYEN: We saw the parents of Chelsea King and Amber Dubois confront the killer, John Gardner. Is that really a good idea, does it bring closure? PAT BROWN: Well, for some families it just-- just the ability to be able to get that rage out, to get it out to the public as well as to the person who victimized their children, it feels good for them to do that. But they want to make-- they don`t want to make a mistake to believe that he actually gives a darn. Everything that John Gardner did in that-- that courtroom is an act. He doesn`t care what they say to him. He`s not feeling bad about what they say to him. He doesn`t feel bad about what he did to-- to their children. In the words of the serial killer Clifford Olson, "If I gave a damn about the parents, I wouldn`t have killed their children." John Gardner does not care. He`s looking for sympathy. And that`s what his whole game in the-- in the courtroom was, a sympathy ploy. BETTY NGUYEN (overlapping): Well, Pat, look at this video right now because we`re seeing Gardner sob a little there. PAT BROWN: Oh, yeah. BETTY NGUYEN: You`re saying that besides that there`s no remorse, this is simply an act? PAT BROWN: Exactly. That sobbing, he does not-- think about it, this is a man who could brutally murder two beautiful little girls and while they were looking up at him screaming, no, don`t do this to me, I want my mommy. He didn`t care one bit. Do you think he really feels bad for them now? No, no, no. He feels bad for himself and he wants everyone out there to realize he`s a victim, too. He`s suffering, too. And he`s going to have as to go to prison and he might get killed in prison. Feel sorry for me. Ladies, you can write me in prison, you know, you can help me out. BETTY NGUYEN: Yeah, he went on to say he is going to be dead in five years-- PAT BROWN (overlapping): Oh-- BETTY NGUYEN: --just a ploy for attention-- PAT BROWN: --poor John. BETTY NGUYEN: --in some sick way. Does he enjoy this limelight? PAT BROWN: Absolutely. Well, he`s already-- he`s-- he knows he`s caught. He knows he`s not going to be outside anymore. So this is his new game. He`s going to prison and he`s going to get as much sympathy on the way-- he`s a Page 102 For May 17, 2010, CBS CBS News Transcripts May 15, 2010 Saturday victim of society, he`s a victim of his raging chemicals into the-- in his brain, he feels bad about what he did; so everyone, you know, have some pity on me. So now he`s going to play his new game in prison and he will get lots of letters from ladies. I can guarantee you. May get a girlfriend, may get married. He`s going to have his fun in prison and that`s the sad part about it all. Don`t feel sorry for John Gardner. He doesn`t feel sorry for anything he`s done. BETTY NGUYEN: Pat, quickly, the parents went in there to find some kind of closure to confront him. Amber Dubois` mother said that it`s been fifteen months and she now has closure and can sleep at night. Do you really believe that, or is this something that`s truly going to be haunting for the rest of her life? PAT BROWN: Eh-- there`s really no such thing as closure. It`s a-- it`s a really silly word in a sense you-- you don`t close the door on your child who has been murdered. What you have are answers and a-- and a level of acceptance, and, hopefully, she`s got some answers because she knows what happened to her daughter. But, you know, when you wake up in the morning, your daughter`s not there and you still have to live with it. And all you can hope is that they find some way to deal with this, maybe, to help other families and, you know, fight against the criminal justice system, and keep guys like this behind bars. So, maybe, they`ll get some, you know-- some good positive feelings from that. But it`s a-- it`s a long road and they didn`t really, you know, closure never really, really happens. I don`t think so. BETTY NGUYEN: A long and difficult road. Pat Brown, thank you so much. PAT BROWN: Thanks, Betty. BETTY NGUYEN: Now over to Rebecca Jarvis for the rest of the morning headlines. Good morning, Rebecca. REBECCA JARVIS: Good morning, Betty. Good morning, Chris, and good morning to everyone at home. We begin with some breaking news this morning. The sole survivor of Wednesday`s plane crash in Libya is being flown home to the Netherlands this morning. Earlier doctors gave the nine-year-old Dutch boy the okay to fly and CBS News correspondent Elizabeth Palmer is in London with the latest information. Good morning, Liz. ELIZABETH PALMER: Good morning. Yes, young Ruben, four days after the crash, is finally being judged strong enough to fly. He had surgery on his legs and feet that were quite badly hurt after the crash. He has been told that he`s now an orphan by his aunt and uncle who went to see him in the hospital in Libya. And now they`ve left all together for the airport to board a specially equipped Medevac flight to take him back to the Netherlands, accompanied also by the Libyan doctor who has been treating him. (Begin VT) ELIZABETH PALMER: Ruben will be coming home to Tilburg, a town still in shock, where a book of condolences has been open for those who knew the family as friends and neighbors. Ruben`s parents, Patrick and Trudy van As- souw, and his eleven-year-old brother, Enzo, all died in Wednesday`s crash. The mayor of Tilburg asked that the world now respect Ruben`s privacy. (Mayor of Tilburg speaking foreign language) ELIZABETH PALMER: "Everyone wants to know what`s going to happen to him," he said, "but I ask you please leave him in peace." Condolences also flooded onto the family`s online blog which Ruben`s father had been keeping as a record of their holiday in South Africa. At Ruben`s school, parents and pupils are getting ready to welcome him back to as normal a life as possible. (Woman speaking foreign language) ELIZABETH PALMER: "We`re hoping he`ll come back soon," says the principal. "And we`ll all take care of him and organize professional support to help him cope with his intense sorrow." As Ruben continues his recovery from physical and psychological trauma, the grim work of identifying the bodies at the airfield in Libya goes on. And aviation experts in Paris are looking at the plane`s black boxes now to determine the cause of the crash. Page 103 For May 17, 2010, CBS CBS News Transcripts May 15, 2010 Saturday

(End VT) ELIZABETH PALMER: Now as you can see, he will be going home to a profoundly moved and welcoming, loving community. But it`s still not clear who is going to take care of him, whose family he`s going to join. Rebecca. REBECCA JARVIS: Elizabeth Palmer in London. Thank you, Elizabeth. The U.S. embassy in Bangkok is offering to evacuate family members of its staff, as violence rocks Thailand for a third day in a row. About ten thousand demonstrators demanding the prime minister`s resignation continue to fight with government troops, today. The latest round of clashes began Thursday in an upscale area of Bangkok, and since then at least sixteen have died and one hundred and sixty have been wounded. Sixteen-year-old sailor Jessica Watson sailed into Sydney Harbour today becoming the youngest person ever to sail solo, nonstop and unassisted around the world. The teen took seven months to make the twenty-three thousand-mile trek all done in a thirty-four-foot pink yacht. It`s about fifteen minutes after the hour. Here`s Lonnie Quinn with our first check of the weather. And, Lonnie, if I had to go around the world, I`d do in a pink yacht, except that I`d probably crash it. LONNIE QUINN: There-- I mean, do you-- what in seven months, you should bring like DVDs, or something? REBECCA JARVIS: Yeah, well, you got to have something to keep you company, if you are alone. LONNIE QUINN: Hey, a movie-- you don`t bring Titanic. Let`s get right to the map. This is how I see it out there. All right. Top to bottom, the East Coast, you`re looking pretty good out there. Little bit of problem, possibly around the Mid- Atlantic States, but that`s the big problem, okay. Let`s talk about Texas to Missouri. I see a lot of rain, three to five inches of rain possible with flood watches in effect. That`s a quick look at the national picture. Here`s a closer look at the weather for your weekend. (LOCAL WEATHER BREAK) LONNIE QUINN: All right, everybody. You make it a great day wherever you are in this fine country of ours. Chris, over to you. CHRIS WRAGGE: All right, Lonnie. (INDISTINCT) adventure would not have been a contributor. LONNIE QUINN: Another bad one. CHRIS WRAGGE: Ready to get your groove on here? BETTY NGUYEN: Let`s do it. CHRIS WRAGGE: Okay. Still ahead, little ladies, big controversy--the viral video that has some parents seeing red. BETTY NGUYEN: Mm-Hm. CHRIS WRAGGE: Are these eight- and nine year-old girls acting a little too sexy for their age, what do you think? BETTY NGUYEN: I think so. Just wait till you see the gyrating, it`s coming right up. CHRIS WRAGGE: (LAUGHING) We`re going talk to a child psychologist-- BETTY NGUYEN: There you go. CHRIS WRAGGE: --when we come right back. (ANNOUNCEMENTS) BETTY NGUYEN: I know you`ve probably seen it by now that viral video of eight- and nine year-old girls dancing to Beyonce continues to get millions of hits and generates tons of controversy by now. Yep, there it is. You`ve seen it. They`re performing a dance routine to the hit song "Single Ladies" at the World Dance Competition in Los Angeles. And it has created a firestorm. Is the routine appropriate for such young girls and could it lead to promiscuous behavior when the girls hit their teens? Joining us to discuss just that, EARLY SHOW contributor and child psychologist, Doctor Jennifer Hartstein. Good morning to you. Page 104 For May 17, 2010, CBS CBS News Transcripts May 15, 2010 Saturday

DR. JENNIFER HARTSTEIN (Child & Adolescent Psychologist): Good mooring. BETTY NGUYEN: All right. Millions of hits. People are watching this, all kinds of people, with all kinds of records, as well. DR. JENNIFER HARTSTEIN: Right. BETTY NGUYEN: We`re talking about kids that eight, nine-- eight, nine years-old out there. DR. JENNIFER HARTSTEIN: Mm-Hm. BETTY NGUYEN: Is this appropriate? DR. JENNIFER HARTSTEIN: No, it`s not. Would we have-- be having this conversation if they were more dressed, right? They`re less dressed than Beyonce is in her video. My friend`s seven-year-old daughter said, "What are they wearing?" So, even the young kids are noticing that this is a problem. If they were in a unitard, would we be having the same conversation? Who knows? But they`re so provocatively dressed and dancing so provocatively. Do they really understand what`s happening? It`s really not okay. BETTY NGUYEN: Well, Beyonce even had more clothing on than these little girls do-- DR. JENNIFER HARTSTEIN: Absolutely. BETTY NGUYEN: --and this. Okay, besides the clothing, the dancing, the gyrating, the pumping and all of that. I was really shocked to see that from such, you know, seven-, eight- and nine-year-old girls. DR. JENNIFER HARTSTEIN: Right. And-- and we have to kind of look at who is teaching this to them. Their dance instructors, their parents are watching this happen. So who`s really monitoring what`s okay. BETTY NGUYEN: Mm-Hm. DR. JENNIFER HARTSTEIN: And we have to be careful. I was a dancer. I did dance recitals at seven, eight and nine. I didn`t dance like that. Kids are seeing this everywhere. They`re inundated with the sexualized images. So in a certain way it`s normalized for them. And that`s also something we have to worry about. BETTY NGUYEN: Well, there`s something that I-- I want to ask you about to be-- because we see so much of this, are younger children thinking, hey, it`s okay, because it`s natural. Isn`t it natural for a child to want to act and look older than especially girls than she is? DR. JENNIFER HARTSTEIN: Mm-Hm. Well, they do play dress up and they do play all of these games where they want to wear their little heels and they want to wear makeup. BETTY NGUYEN: Mm-Hm. DR. JENNIFER HARTSTEIN: And there still is a limit. We still have to put limits on what that is. We don`t know who`s watching this video. We don`t know what this is meaning to these girls and what`s it`s going to take to them, "Oh, all I have to do is dress sexy and I get attention. I have to, you know, shake my tush, and wiggle my shoulders and everything`s going to be all exciting and everybody`s going to love me." We don`t want that to be the message to our young girls. We want to empower them in other ways as well. So it`s a really fine line of what`s okay and what`s not okay. BETTY NGUYEN: And something I mentioned earlier, we don`t know who`s watching, we don`t know what kind of record they have? It could be pedophiles. It could be anybody out there. DR. JENNIFER HARTSTEIN: Mm-Hm. BETTY NGUYEN: Millions of hits. Does this kind of dancing, this kind of mindset, possibly lead to promiscuous behavior down the line? DR. JENNIFER HARTSTEIN: It may not. We don`t know. You know, it`s-- it`s too early to say and I think it really goes back to parents and adults and strong role models saying, this is dancing, this is what this is, this is an arena for this. And this is how you act in the real world with other people. You know, people can invade your space. You have to be mindful of how much, how close you get to other people. So it`s a mixed message in a lot of ways that we have to be very careful to tell our kids. Page 105 For May 17, 2010, CBS CBS News Transcripts May 15, 2010 Saturday

BETTY NGUYEN: All right. Doctor Hartstein, thanks so much for your insight today. DR. JENNIFER HARTSTEIN: Thank you. BETTY NGUYEN: We do appreciate it. DR. JENNIFER HARTSTEIN: Thanks. BETTY NGUYEN: And coming up, no more tomorrows for Little Orphan Annie. After eighty-five years, the legendary comic strip is coming to an end. Reaction from Broadway`s first Annie, Andrea McArdle, she is next. You`re watching THE EARLY SHOW on CBS. (ANNOUNCEMENTS) CHRIS WRAGGE: Next month will mark the end of an era. BETTY NGUYEN: Mm-Hm. CHRIS WRAGGE: More than how-- after more than eighty-five years there will be no more tomorrows for the syndi- cated comic strip Annie. BETTY NGUYEN: But that doesn`t mean that everybody`s favorite redhead is saying good-bye forever. CBS News correspondent Dean Reynolds has more. (Begin VT) DEAN REYNOLDS: Conceived in the roaring twenties when Calvin Coolidge was President, the comic strip featuring the redhead waif will end its daily newspaper run next month. The life of Little Orphan Annie, her adoptive father, Daddy Warbucks, and her trusty dog Sandy, were chronicled for decades not only in print, but also on the radio, on stage and, of course, on the big screen. (Excerpt from "Little Orphan Annie: Hard Knock Life") DEAN REYNOLDS: In that first strip way back when the little heroine expresses hope that some nice folks would adopt me. (Excerpt from "Little Orphan Annie: Hard Knock Life") DEAN REYNOLDS: For eighty-five years, across numerous generations, she was adopted by millions of faithful read- ers. (Excerpt from "Little Orphan Annie: Hard Knock Life") DEAN REYNOLDS: But Tribune Media Services, which distributes the strip made the call to pull it from everyday circulation, saying the cost to produce it was greater than the revenue it brought in. Still, company officials say they will try to seek new audiences in some digital medium, in cartoons or graphic novels. (Excerpt from "The Sun Will Come Out Tomorrow") DEAN REYNOLDS: The sun will come out tomorrow, but for Little Orphan Annie, on Sunday, June 13th, her day will be done. Dean Reynolds, CBS News, Chicago. (End VT) BETTY NGUYEN: Mm-Hm. CHRIS WRAGGE: Can you believe it? Eight-five years-- BETTY NGUYEN: I can`t believe it`s been that long but I remember growing up as a little girl. CHRIS WRAGGE: (LAUGHING) Grew up with the very first one? BETTY NGUYEN: No, no, no, I sure don`t, unfortunately. CHRIS WRAGGE: Let`s bring in Lonnie and Rebecca here. Page 106 For May 17, 2010, CBS CBS News Transcripts May 15, 2010 Saturday

BETTY NGUYEN: Yeah. I mean, don`t you remember, Rebecca, growing up as a little girl, singing that song Tomor- row. REBECCA JARVIS: I do. I wanted to be Annie. She was my dream come true-- CHRIS WRAGGE: Yeah. REBECCA JARVIS: --and then when I got a-- a perm just to look like her. BETTY NGUYEN: I can never get the hair to work. CHRIS WRAGGE: I can`t believe they`re saying that the cost to produce the comic strip-- LONNIE QUINN: Yeah. CHRIS WRAGGE: --you know outweighs the revenue that it brings in. How much can it cost to produce a comic strip? And somebody`s got I-- I-- I don`t know, I have no idea. REBECCA JARVIS: It`s a good point but that`s what`s happening to the whole industry right now. LONNIE QUINN: The comic industry is just-- BETTY NGUYEN: But it`s going to come back in a different form-- LONNIE QUINN: --it`s coming down. CHRIS WRAGGE: Do-- do you guys remember-- BETTY NGUYEN: We`re not going to lose it forever. CHRIS WRAGGE: Do you-- I mean, do you remember when you first saw it? I mean, did you see-- BETTY NGUYEN: No. CHRIS WRAGGE: --it on Broadway? Do you remember how old were you? BETTY NGUYEN: No. I was in Texas-- LONNIE QUINN: Absolutely. BETTY NGUYEN: --I didn`t see it on Broadway. REBECCA JARVIS: Probably about age three or something like that and then-- LONNIE QUINN: Yeah. BETTY NGUYEN: --we watched it on repeat every day until age nineteen. LONNIE QUINN: Yeah. CHRIS WRAGGE: When did you-- BETTY NGUYEN: Till nineteen. LONNIE QUINN: I remember watching-- watching Mike Douglas doing an interview with Andrea McArdle-- CHRIS WRAGGE: Yeah. Yeah. LONNIE QUINN: --who was the very first Annie-- BETTY NGUYEN: Mm-Hm. LONNIE QUINN: --and this little girl walks out. She is like booming voice. I have no idea what year that was, but she was fantastic. REBECCA JARVIS: And then she-- she was nominated for a Tony, the youngest person ever. BETTY NGUYEN: That`s the youngest at thirteen years old. It wasn`t until it got into the movie theaters when I first saw it, but I just remember it distinctly, you know, Daddy Warbucks-- LONNIE QUINN: Yes. Page 107 For May 17, 2010, CBS CBS News Transcripts May 15, 2010 Saturday

BETTY NGUYEN: --and all the other orphans. REBECCA JARVIS: It`s a good thing there was no weatherman though in the movie because that would have kind of ruined things. It could have been a real buzz kill, you know, tomorrow there`s a chance of showers. LONNIE QUINN: Oh, I`m getting you. REBECCA JARVIS: Yes. LONNIE QUINN: You know what-- (Cross talking) CHRIS WRAGGE: Ask me to watch this. BETTY NGUYEN: I know we`re trying to fall with that one. REBECCA JARVIS: Stay with me, folks. Stay with me. LONNIE QUINN: I will say, "Thank goodness, the camera`s not on me because I have the greatest blank look on my face." CHRIS WRAGGE: More so than normal. Yeah, it`s like-- REBECCA JARVIS: It means I was good. CHRIS WRAGGE: It`s like Andrea-- Andrea McArdle is actually coming back. Now, no longer, obviously, playing Annie but will be playing the role of Miss Hannigan. BETTY NGUYEN: Mm-Hm. REBECCA JARVIS: Hm. LONNIE QUINN: Oh, the evil one. REBECCA JARVIS: Yes. CHRIS WRAGGE: She`s coming back later, so you think about-- REBECCA JARVIS: Diametric opposite. BETTY NGUYEN: Do you believe it still in the play? It has been a part of her life for all this time. CHRIS WRAGGE: Yeah, which is incredible and she, like, we said, was just brilliant, I mean there-- there had been other good Annies-- LONNIE QUINN: No, you`re right. REBECCA JARVIS: That`s the way. CHRIS WRAGGE: --but she was-- BETTY NGUYEN: First. LONNIE QUINN: She set at the bar, man, that was amazing. BETTY NGUYEN: Mm-Hm. LONNIE QUINN: Absolutely. CHRIS WRAGGE: Yeah. In a class-- in a class all by herself. All right. BETTY NGUYEN: Mm-Hm. CHRIS WRAGGE: All right. We`re-- we`re going to miss it. BETTY NGUYEN: But we have a lot more coming up-- CHRIS WRAGGE: Yeah. Let`s get it out. Page 108 For May 17, 2010, CBS CBS News Transcripts May 15, 2010 Saturday

BETTY NGUYEN: --too, including-- including clothing. We know you get lots of it at home and especially many of it that you don`t wear. I know, you`re holding on to it. Well, don`t because there`s a way to give it away and help others. We got the Goodwill clot-- Clothing Drive coming up. Stay with us. (ANNOUNCEMENTS) +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ (7:30 AM, EDT) CHRIS WRAGGE: And, hi, once again. Welcome back to THE EARLY SHOW. You`re on a Saturday morning. In the next half hour, life-saving information about strokes. We`ll talk about the recent close calls with Beau Biden and Bret Michaels, what the warning signs are and why every second counts when calling 911. Good morning, once again. I`m Chris Wragge. BETTY NGUYEN: Good morning, Chris. Good morning, everybody. I`m Betty Nguyen, in for Erica Hill. Also ahead, our EARLY SHOW clothing drive. Goodwill is here to pick up old closet stuffers. Our green living expert reveals the biggest mistakes people make when donating clothes. And we`re celebrating Armed Forces Day with music by some veteran artists. CHRIS WRAGGE: Wait. BETTY NGUYEN: They are great. CHRIS WRAGGE: Awesome. BETTY NGUYEN: Yeah. I`m looking forward to that. CHRIS WRAGGE: Wait until you hear them. We got all that coming up. But first, let`s get another check of the latest headlines. Rebecca Jarvis, over at the news desk for us this morning. Beck. REBECCA JARVIS: Hey, guys, good to see you again. An orbiting piece of space junk threatens to come too close to the International Space Station, but NASA says that will not delay the station from docking with the space shuttle At- lantis tomorrow. The Atlantis is on its last mission delivering spare parts and a Russian docking module and the only two space shuttle flights remain, NASA is ending the program by the end of the year. An apology from a former science teacher at a Houston-area alternative school, who was recorded on cell phone video, beating a student. SHERRI LYNNDAVIS (Teacher Accused of Abuse): I am without excuse for my actions because I know this has been a painful situation, an incident that I truly regret. REBECCA JARVIS: Video of the attack was made public last month. The thirteen-year-old boy suffered bruises and a black eye. His mother is suing the school. New allegations of sexual abuse are being leveled against film director, Roman Polanski. British actress Charlotte Lew- is now says Polanski abused her, quote, "in the worst possible way" in his Paris apartment when she was sixteen years old. Lewis claims the alleged attack took place some time during the 1980s. Polanski is fighting extradition from Swit- zerland to face sentencing for having sex with a thirteen-year-old California girl in 1977. Those are the headlines, time now for another check of the weather with Lonnie, who is standing outside. LONNIE QUINN: Oh. Look at me in the big picture behind you. Hey-- REBECCA JARVIS: Little Lonnie. LONNIE QUINN: Do you-- what-- what`s that, Rebecca? REBECCA JARVIS: You`re very little, Lonnie, tiny little Lonnie. How much is that, Lonnie in the window? LONNIE QUINN: Yeah, well, you know-- REBECCA JARVIS: I do hope that Lonnie is for sale. LONNIE QUINN: I`m Lonnie in the window. All right. You know what I`ve got for you? I`ve got a bunch of screaming kids behind me. Now you go. Page 109 For May 17, 2010, CBS CBS News Transcripts May 15, 2010 Saturday

(Crowd cheering) LONNIE QUINN: Boy, they can do it right on cue, right? Hey, you guys say it look Empire State of Mind--you`re from Kentucky, right? GIRL: Yes. LONNIE QUINN: Now, where-- what is it? Is it a high school organization? What`s going on here? GIRL: We are the business department from Bullitt Central High School. It`s in Shepherdsville, Kentucky. LONNIE QUINN: Who`s-- who is hooting and hollering down here? (Crowd cheering) LONNIE QUINN: Well, they all are basically. I`m going to talk a little weather out there. You know what, Kentucky, oh, you know what guys back home today, a little of this, a little of that. We do have a system out there. Let`s take a look at the big picture. Here`s what the maps look like: The East Coast looks just fine and right. The West Coast looks just fine. It`s the Mid- Atlantic States, you`re going to find a little bit of rain that could be nipping at Kentucky. The big rains will be around Texas and stretching up into Missouri. Hot spot, I`m talking of Laredo, Texas, today. You are going to be up around ninety-eight degrees. Your cool spot, Steamboat Springs, Colorado, at forty-seven. That`s a quick look at the national picture. Here`s a closer look at the weather for your weekend. (LOCAL WEATHER BREAK) LONNIE QUINN: Oh, yes. CBS cougars become stars. And that`s-- that`s your mascot, the cougar, right? WOMAN: Yes. LONNIE QUINN: Although the older gals out there. All right. That`s it out here. Let`s get over to Betty. BETTY NGUYEN: Yeah, not to be confused with the other kind of cougar. All right, coming up, following the recent health scares for Bret Michaels and Beau Biden, what you need to know about strokes, vital information that can save a life. Our HealthWatch is next. This is THE EARLY SHOW on CBS. (ANNOUNCEMENTS) BETTY NGUYEN: Good morning and welcome back. If a family member was having a heart attack, of course, you will call 911. But, what about stroke cases like the recent closed calls with Beau Biden or Bret Michaels. A new study found that many do not call 911. And instead, drive the victim to the hospital themselves, a delay that can lead to irreversible brain damage or even death. Joining us now with life-saving information, you should know about strokes, the director of the St. Luke`s Roosevelt Stroke Center here in Manhattan, Doctor Carolyn Brockington. Good morning to you. DR. CAROLYN BROCKINGTON (Neurologist): Good morning. BETTY NGUYEN: Well, first help us understand what people experience when they go through a stroke. DR. CAROLYN BROCKINGTON: Certainly. A stroke is an injury to the brain, so it`s caused from an interruption of blood flow. If not enough blood gets to the brain, you develop symptoms and they`re usually very sudden. BETTY NGUYEN: Who is most at risk for this? DR. CAROLYN BROCKINGTON: Well, the interesting thing is everyone`s at risk for stroke-- BETTY NGUYEN: Yeah. DR. CAROLYN BROCKINGTON: --right. But the incidence, meaning the risk increases as someone gets older because of the risk factors, high blood pressure, diabetes, etcetera. Page 110 For May 17, 2010, CBS CBS News Transcripts May 15, 2010 Saturday

BETTY NGUYEN: Mm-Hm. DR. CAROLYN BROCKINGTON: In fact, the incidence of stroke doubles every decade over the age of fifty-five. BETTY NGUYEN: Okay. So to know if you`re having a stroke, let`s go through some of the symptoms-- DR. CAROLYN BROCKINGTON (overlapping): Sure. BETTY NGUYEN: Because there are five, indeed, that you need to know about; one, numbness in the face, arm or leg; trouble speaking; difficulty walking; trouble with vision; severe headache. Now, some people may see that and say I`ve had a few of those. How do you know if it`s indeed a stroke? DR. CAROLYN BROCKINGTON: Well, usually the symptoms are very sudden, right. This isn`t something over days and months and weeks. This is over seconds to minutes and so many times it`s severe, all of a sudden you can`t move your arm, your face may drag, you might have difficulty garbled speech, you might have difficulty understanding what`s someone saying to you, so all of a sudden, something like that. It`s a concern about that it`s a stroke. BETTY NGUYEN: And time is truly of the essence. DR. CAROLYN BROCKINGTON: Mm-Hm. BETTY NGUYEN: How much time do you have between when you first get the symptoms and when you actually need to get that help before it`s just irreversible? DR. CAROLYN BROCKINGTON: Well, we say in stroke treatment, time is brain, right. Every second that ticks by, the brain`s not getting enough blood flow so you could have permanent injury. BETTY NGUYEN: Mm. DR. CAROLYN BROCKINGTON: So you need to go and right away. It`s not a time to call your doctor, look things up in the internet, it`s time to call 911, get to closest emergency room for treatment. BETTY NGUYEN: So, is that study correct when it says, don`t drive the person to the hospital? DR. CAROLYN BROCKINGTON: That`s right. Nine-one-one is appropriate because there are things that they do on the way to the hospital etc to try to stabilize things, as well. So, it`s very important to get to the hospital immediately. BETTY NGUYEN: We`ve heard about a lot of people having this, including the vice president`s son, Beau Biden, a mild stroke, only forty-one years old. Does this happen to people who are seemingly young and healthy? DR. CAROLYN BROCKINGTON: You know, everybody is surprised because he was so young. But it`s not unusual that someone young has a stroke. We-- we really look for different things when people are younger. Sometimes people have a problem with their artery and injury to the artery, which is the blood. BEAU BIDEN: Please join me and walk with me. DR. CAROLYN BROCKINGTON: Vessel that brings blood to the brain, sometimes a problem with the heart, sometimes a blood clotting problem. So there are a lot of different things that might produce it when people are younger, maybe less than fifty-five. BETTY NGUYEN: I found this really interesting that by going to, say the chiropractor or maybe even doing yoga that could possibly be the onset or spark, a stroke? DR. CAROLYN BROCKINGTON: Well again, because if you cause an injury to the blood vessel, not allowing enough blood to get to the brain that can cause a problem. BETTY NGUYEN: But you`re not advising people not to do the yoga, right? DR. CAROLYN BROCKINGTON: No. No. (Betty Nguyen and Doctor Carolyn Brockington laughing) DR. CAROLYN BROCKINGTON: Not yoga. Absolutely not. You have to have exercise. But, you know, you need to know that if you develop these symptoms, certainly while doing something like that. There`s a concern and certainly it should be checked out. Page 111 For May 17, 2010, CBS CBS News Transcripts May 15, 2010 Saturday

BETTY NGUYEN: No doubt. A very good information, lifesaving information. Doctor, thank you so much for your time today. DR. CAROLYN BROCKINGTON: Thank you for having me. BETTY NGUYEN: For more on stroke causes and warning signs, go to our partner in health coverage, WebMD.com and search for stroke. Doctor Brockington, thank you for that. Now we want to take you over to Chris who is outside this morning. Good morning. CHRIS WRAGGE: Betty, Thank you very much. I got a surprise. If you`re in the area, come down to Fifth Avenue. I`m here in the truck outside the plaza doing everybody`s laundry. I`m kidding, of course. It is our clothing drive. We`ve got the big rig out here on the plaza. Like I said, if you`ve got any clothing, bring it on down. We`re going to show you in the next couple of minutes exactly how to throw out that old stuff, bring in the new stuff, how to prepare it, what clothes are best for Goodwill and what clothes aren`t, how to prepare them, so they`re great for the next person that wears those duds. You no longer have anything to do with. We`ll be right back. You`re watching THE EARLY SHOW here on CBS. There`s the truck. Come on down. (ANNOUNCEMENTS) CHRIS WRAGGE: And welcome back. Here`s a little known fact, the average American throws away almost seventy pounds of clothing a year. So, why not donate your old clothes to charity? If you`re in the neighborhood, come on down, Goodwill Industries is right here on Fifth Avenue, taking your unwanted clothing this morning throughout the show. Now, for the rest of you at home, green expert Danny Seo is here with-- guess what--more do`s and don`ts of donation. How to make sure your clothes go to the people who really need them. Danny, good to see you. DANNY SEO (Green Living Expert): Hi. CHRIS WRAGGE: As always. DANNY SEO: Good cause today, right? CHRIS WRAGGE: There are no bad clothes for go-- I mean, if you`ve got something at home, just bring it all, correct? DANNY SEO: You know what, of all the clothes that`s collected by Goodwill, only about forty percent of it is actually resold in stores but they take everything because sixty percent of it is then sold in textile recyclers. CHRIS WRAGGE: Got it. DANNY SEO: So, even things like, this really, really dirty shirt, you know, this is like torn shirt right here. CHRIS WRAGGE: Yeah. DANNY SEO: --this stained shirt, they`ll take it because they can recycle it. We`ve got, uh--- CHRIS WRAGGE: This is what I brought this morning. DANNY SEO: We`ve got your old-- (LAUGHING) your old jeans. CHRIS WRAGGE: Some denim shorts but again the-- they`ll work, right? DANNY SEO: The surprising fact is that denim is the number one resold item at Goodwill. So if you have lots of jeans, donate as many jeans as you can. CHRIS WRAGGE: And how many people, I mean, literally go department stores and spend two hundred dollars on jeans and, "Can I have something that looks like it`s been used and worn?" DANNY SEO: Which is why it`s the number one resold item. So, definitely don`t be afraid to donate everything and anything to Goodwill. CHRIS WRAGGE: Let`s talk about baby clothes right now because there`s a lot of people that think-- who are probably with some baby clothes because they make such a mess of them that they probably wouldn`t be good donations. Page 112 For May 17, 2010, CBS CBS News Transcripts May 15, 2010 Saturday

DANNY SEO: These are also a little bit different because most charities that take baby clothes actually re-gift them to moms in needs. CHRIS WRAGGE: Okay. DANNY SEO: So, what you don`t want to do is donates soiled clothes. If you got a shirt like this one with all these bar- beque stains or choco stains-- CHRIS WRAGGE: Yeah. DANNY SEO: --make sure you use like a fragrance-free detergent product on it because baby skin is most sensitive. So wash them, dry them, and choose something that is absolutely zero fragrance or dyes because you don`t to hurt the baby you donated to. CHRIS WRAGGE: Yeah, but with everything across the board, always nice to wash the clothes before you do donate, right? DANNY SEO: If you can-- if you can. CHRIS WRAGGE: Okay. Well, it`d be nice. Bath towels? DANNY SEO: Bath towels are a little different. Animal shelters love them. We have our little prop dog here. CHRIS WRAGGE: Yes, of course. DANNY SEO: Threadbare towels are great thing to donate to animals shelters because they`ll use them as bedding, they use to dry off dogs. So, don`t throw this away. CHRIS WRAGGE: Yeah, and some classics right here, huh? Some vintage? DANNY SEO: If you want to-- if you want to get a receipt for your clothing donation, people are very confused of the value of their clothes, simple thing to do is take a post-it note and write down the value. Like this might be a fifty dollar shirt you pay for it at retail. CHRIS WRAGGE: Yeah. DANNY SEO: What you`ll get actually is thirty percent of the retail value for tax deduction purposes. CHRIS WRAGGE: And that`s the one thing people don`t understand. DANNY SEO: It`s too confusing. CHRIS WRAGGE: It`s a nice-- but it`s a nice little tax write-off and it adds up the more generous you are. Actually, if you-- DANNY SEO: You get the receipts, save money and your taxes, and this is a simple way of saving money. CHRIS WRAGGE: You got that folks? About one-third of what you paid. So it`s not a bad idea. As far as drop-off lo- cations, we see those boxes that are in, you know, shopping department, parking lots, and things like that. Is that the way to go? I thought some different-- DANNY SEO: They`re-- they`re a little bit tricky, and I will show you as I got some cloths for you to donate here, Chris. CHRIS WRAGGE: Okay, let`s do it. DANNY SEO: It`s like here this is from your personal closet, thank you very much. CHRIS WRAGGE: Well, we brought this morning. Come on down. DANNY SEO: Those drop-off boxes are a little bit tricky because a lot of them are actually for-profit ventures. CHRIS WRAGGE: Yeah. DANNY SEO: And even though it`s very convenient to do it, you probably don`t want to do that because you don`t know the charity. CHRIS WRAGGE: Yeah. Page 113 For May 17, 2010, CBS CBS News Transcripts May 15, 2010 Saturday

DANNY SEO: I always say donate to a reputable charity like Salvation Army or like to Goodwill. CHRIS WRAGGE: Yeah. DANNY SEO: And they`re actually making it easier, too. Because people love the drop boxes because they`re so easy. Now, what we have here. It`s from method in Goodwill; it`s a glass truck traveling through New York-- CHRIS WRAGGE: Yeah. DANNY SEO: --collecting clothes for people on the go. And then they`ll actually wash the clothes, too. That`s really cool. CHRIS WRAGGE: You saw the washing machines before. I was in there helping the gang doing some laundry earlier. But, yes, if you`ve got anything, and we want to really employ the people especially if you`re here in the city right now, come on down. If you`re anywhere in the area, come on down here. The truck will be here and you`ve got Goodwill, and they do such a great, great job and it`s-- it`s so important for people. And they`re all good sports. DANNY SEO: And they`re doing this really innovative collection things now so that the whole process of donating has got more modern, and more fresh, and easier. CHRIS WRAGGE: Yes. DANNY SEO: That`s the key thing. CHRIS WRAGGE: That`s the thing. They`ve made it so easy for you. And like we said, there`s tax incentive, too. So-- DANNY SEO: Save money, go green. CHRIS WRAGGE: --there`s a great-- there`s a great benefit for everybody. Danny, great to see you. DANNY SEO: Thank you. CHRIS WRAGGE: As always some great advice. DANNY SEO: And thank you for the donation. CHRIS WRAGGE: No, it`s always our pleasure, and everybody at Goodwill, thank you guys for coming out here this morning. (Crowd cheering) CHRIS WRAGGE: You want to see something great folks. Up next, a group called 4Troops soldiers singing to help other soldiers. They`re in our Second Cup Cafe. We are so honored to have them and they`re up next when we return. This is THE EARLY SHOW here on CBS. Come on out and donate. (4Troops performing live in the studio) (ANNOUNCEMENTS) CHRIS WRAGGE: Today is Armed Forces Day, the official finale to Armed Forces Week, a time to honor American servicemen and women at home and overseas. BETTY NGUYEN: And every war has its soundtrack, and before most of today`s war movies had even been written, four combat veterans of the war in Afghanistan have come together to create the music which tells their story. They are called 4Troops. CHRIS WRAGGE: And for every CD they sell, they`re donating fifty cents to veterans organization and we`re going to tell you how to get their CD in just a moment. But first, we welcome to our Second Cup Cafe today. 4Troops performing a song made famous by Rascal Flatts, "Bless the Broken Road." (4Troops performing live in the studio) BETTY NGUYEN: Fantastic.

CHRIS WRAGGE: I`ve only got a month left. BETTY NGUYEN: Thirties are good, though. They are. CHRIS WRAGGE: But you guys are Super Bowl. Really. So-- it`s such an honor to have you here and it`s really great to hear you. We can`t wait to hear more from you later on in the broadcast.

After twenty year, one of TV`s most beloved shows hanging up its badge. Life after Law & Order and much more early this Saturday morning, May 15, 2010. And welcome back to THE EARLY SHOW here on a Saturday morning. You talk about a hyped up crowd here on the plaza, Betty. BETTY NGUYEN: This is one rowdy crowd this morning. And you know hey, the weather is just perfect for them come on out and we have got a lot-- CHRIS WRAGGE: Yeah. BETTY NGUYEN: --to talk about some really juicy topics coming up including the science of marriage. Why actually arguing is a good thing? CHRIS WRAGGE: Yeah. BETTY NGUYEN: Believe it or not. CHRIS WRAGGE: And that whole thing about fifty percent of all marriages ending in divorce. BETTY NGUYEN: Divorce. Not true. Page 115 For May 17, 2010, CBS CBS News Transcripts May 15, 2010 Saturday

CHRIS WRAGGE: Totally not true, folks. It is a myth and we are going to dispel other marriage myths. We`ve got scientists, we have got hardcore research to back up their reasons. And we are also talking about beach bikini bodies. Who doesn`t love a good bikini at the beach? Right guys? (Crowd cheering) CHRIS WRAGGE: You don`t have to be from Canada to enjoy a little time at the beach, of course. And we are going to show you at home exactly what you need to do to get yourself in tip-top shape, I mean-- BETTY NGUYEN: It takes a village. CHRIS WRAGGE: It`s about-- about three hours before I hit the old-- BETTY NGUYEN: The Memorial weekend`s right around the corner. Lots of us want to make sure that we look okay. CHRIS WRAGGE: Yeah. BETTY NGUYEN: Some of that say, your light is not there anymore. There`s a fast fix for that. CHRIS WRAGGE: Yep. The pool coming up, beautiful day here in the city. So you know what you need to do, we`re going to tell you. You`ve got a lot coming up. But first let`s see what`s making headlines this morning. Rebecca Jarvis is at the news desk for us right now. Hi, Jar. REBECCA JARVIS: Good morning guys. Who doesn`t love a good potato sack at the beach? That`s my motto, all right. BP is again trying to cap the massive oil leak from its blown out well in the Gulf of Mexico, but even as it does, the economic and environmental damage from disaster is mounting. CBS News correspondent Mark Strassmann is in Ve- nice, Louisiana, with the latest. Mark, good morning. MARK STRASSMANN: Good morning, Rebecca. In a Louisiana coastal community called Port Fourchon, which is about an hour away in a fast boat from where I`m standing, thousands of tar balls have washed up on a beach. Some of them are eight inches across and it`s apparently just a mess, the kind of mess BP is now trying to stop with its latest fix on the Gulf. It is trying to thread a tube a mile under the oc-- ocean and put it in to the leaking pipeline. The idea would be to funnel as much oil as possible up the-- the tube and into a surface ship, try to get a handle on this spill that is now thirty-six hundred square miles across, the size of Rhode Island and Delaware combined. It is what has made President Obama extremely angry and frustrated, he said. But out here today, again Rebecca, BP is going to try once again to try to get a handle on this mess that so far no one has been able to try to get a handle on. REBECCA JARVIS: And Mark, is there an option that BP has that officials have the most confidence in? MARK STRASSMANN: All the options that they`re-- they`re talking about right now are sort of stop gap solutions. The real one, the permanent one is this relief well that they`ve been started drilling on, but that`s going to take another couple of months. And in a couple of months of course Rebecca, you could have millions more gallons that are already out in the Gulf. REBECCA JARVIS: We`ll continue following it. Thank you so much, Mark Strassmann. Today, the University of Virginia men`s Lacrosse team will take to the field; tomorrow, the women`s. It is two weeks after the murder of their beloved friend and teammate. And CBS News correspondent Bill Plante has the story. BILL PLANTE: The number one ranked men`s UVA Lacrosse Team preparing for their most important game of the season, the start of the NCAA Tournament. ARADHYA NIGAM (UVA Student): Everybody`s going to be watching to see if they can bring it together. BILL PLANTE: The men tonight will have the home field advantage hosting Mount St. Mary`s. The sixth-ranked women`s team gets their turn tomorrow as they open their tournament at home against Townsend. This is the first game for either team since Lacrosse player Yeardley Love was murdered in her apartment two weeks ago. Police arrested and charged men`s Lacrosse player George Huguely, her ex-boyfriend with first degree murder. While police investigate the crime and Huguely`s alleged history of violence, Yeardley Love`s friends and teammates are pushing through finals and preparing for their first game back. For the students on campus, the games this weekend are an important part of the healing process. Page 116 For May 17, 2010, CBS CBS News Transcripts May 15, 2010 Saturday

MOHAMMAD CHOHAN (UVA Student): To see them outplay and do well, it`s something which will, you know, like bring up the mood a bit I think. BILL PLANTE: The athletic department expects a high turnout this weekend as Yeardley Love`s memory is honored with a moment of silence. Members of both Lacrosse teams and all UVA sports teams will wear a patch to remember Love on their uniforms for the rest of the year. BRITTANY CARTER (UVA Student): They need to get back up on their feet and show that they have united as a team. BILL PLANTE: Bill Plante, CBS News, Washington. (End VT) REBECCA JARVIS: Investors are hoping Monday will be a better day after Wall Street stocks tumbled on Friday on a combination of weak retail earnings reports and new worries about Europe`s one trillion dollar bailout of Greece. The DOW Jones Industrials average lost more than a hundred and sixty-two points Friday, closing out at ten thousand six hundred and twenty. But the DOW was up more than two percent on the week. And Heinz has fifty-seven varieties. Soon, its ketchup will have something else, less salt, fifteen percent last to be exact. Heinz says this is the first significant change in its formula in nearly forty years. And the new ketchup hits shelves this summer. Well folks, you`re not going to hear this sound much longer. After twenty seasons, the final episode of Law & Order will air on May 24th. (Excerpt from Law & Order) REBECCA JARVIS: The other line-- the other Law & Order spinoffs will continue and plans are in the works for a new addition to the franchise, Law & Order Los Angeles. It`s about six minutes after the hour. Time now for another check on the weather with Lonnie. And Lonnie, I don`t know what I`m more upset about, the new Heinz recipe or Law & Order going away. LONNIE QUINN: Yep, but there`re so many Law & Orders, right? I mean, how many varieties are there? You got the Special Victims Unit-- REBECCA JARVIS: My DVR is full of them. LONNIE QUINN: --you got-- you got Law & Order Little Rascals. There`re a thousands of them. Hey, we got a lot of people out here raising awareness for breast cancer, the Judi Shesh Organization. You`ve got your memorial walk-run coming up on June the fifth, so good luck to you guys. Another organization right down here. Check them out. This is the Young Survival Coalition and Jenna Glazer joins me right now. Jenna, explain to me what is that for your group is. JENNA GLAZER: Young Survival Coalition is an organization that provides support and education to young women who have breast cancer. LONNIE QUINN: We`re talking like women under forty, right? JENNA GLAZER: Yeah, young women, women in their twenties and thirties, a lot of survivors are here with us this morning. LONNIE QUINN: Two hundred thousand people in your organization all across the country. So good luck to you gu-- and hey, listen, I know there`s a big event you`ve got coming up, a gala this Thursday, right? Who by chance is your emcee? JENNA GLAZER: Well, Chris Wragge is going to be our emcee. LONNIE QUINN: Of course, it going to be Chris Wragge. Hey, you know what, he`s a good man. Let get right to the weather picture because here`s how we see it out there. There`s a front and there`s some really rough weather, okay, in the midsection of the country. So, the weather headlines break down like this: flooding for the Plains, nice in the North- east. Great Lakes, you get the best weather, some of the best weather in the country. But again, it`s around that low pressure system from Texas up to portions of Missouri. That`s where I see the roughest weather. Possibly, three to five inches of some flooding rains. Kind of a bad hair day, don`t you think? All right, that`s it for the national picture. Here`s a closer look at the weather for your weekend.

(Crowd cheering) (LOCAL WEATHER BREAK) (Crowd cheering) LONNIE QUINN: All right, so you guys are all going to be dulled-up this Thursday, right? And I`m sure Chris Wragge is going to be looking his best. Chris, over to you. CHRIS WRAGGE: Thank you, Lonnie. Work on the old tux for this week. Thanks so much for taking care of them. I appreciate it. Okay, this is one of those incredible stories with a very happy ending. A Florida mom swerves to avoid a tire while driving on I-95 and her car flips other several times throwing her eighteen-month-old-baby from the car. The toddler flies over a nearly twenty foot retaining wall and lands in a nearby backyard crying and screaming but otherwise, mira- culously okay. The baby landed in a yard of Bob and Jan Blount who join us now from Dania Beach, Florida. Good morning to the two of you. What in the world did it you think? JAN BLOUNT (Called 911): Good morning. BOB BLOUNT (Called 911): Good morning, Sir. CHRIS WRAGGE: What in the world did you think when you saw this baby in your backyard? JAN BLOUNT: I to-- I felt it was totally unbelievable, unbelievable. BOB BLOUNT: I actually saw him land on the ground. He bounced once, flipped over on to his back, and landed again. I thought when I went out there that he would be dead. CHRIS WRAGGE: Did you had-- JAN BLOUNT (overlapping): I went with my husband to make sure that he-- there would-- was a child and I could saw his eyes open and he was whimpering. So I knew that I had to rush back to the house and call 911, but at least I could tell them he`s alive. CHRIS WRAGGE: Did you think that, oh, this much-- this has got to be some type of miracle baby? I mean, did you realize what had happened, that there had been a car accident on the other side of the retaining wall and that by some-- JAN BLOUNT: Well-- BOB BLOUNT: We-- we did hear the crash. CHRIS WRAGGE: --strange chance the baby flew over the wall? JAN BLOUNT: The crash-- we`ve lived in this house for ten years. And I can measure the type of accident by the sounds I hear. This was the most violent that I-- we had ever heard. It even shook a-- a picture on our wall. So I knew immediately this is a violent crash. I was getting up to go to the phone until I heard my husband say a child flew over the wall. I-- CHRIS WRAGGE: So-- JAN BLOUNT: --I couldn`t believe it. CHRIS WRAGGE: So now you guys are both, let me-- for the people at home, you guys are COPs, you`re-- you`re citizens on patrol. So, how did your train, I mean, did you training help you? I mean, it sounds as though you were able to-- to spring into action pretty quickly. BOB BLOUNT: Oh, definitely. JAN BLOUNT: Our training is unbelievable. Our sheriff`s office down here is incredible, just incredible. CHRIS WRAGGE: And let me ask you-- JAN BLOUNT: We are so grateful that we are volunteers. CHRIS WRAGGE: And the-- the little baby`s obviously grateful, too. Can I ask you real quickly, have you heard about his progress, do you plan on checking up on him to-- to see how he`s doing at some point? Page 118 For May 17, 2010, CBS CBS News Transcripts May 15, 2010 Saturday

BOB BLOUNT: Well, I guess-- JANICE BLOUNT: We understand he may-- we understand he may get out of the hospital today. He was just an absolutely adorable, well-- well taken care of baby. And the mother is still in the hospital-- CHRIS WRAGGE: Yeah. JANICE BLOUNT: --and what I would like to do is go there, right after we leave here and find out if she will talk to us. CHRIS WRAGGE: Well, that`s great. You guys did what you-- JANICE BLOUNT: Because I think she-- CHRIS WRAGGE: You guys-- JANICE BLOUNT: --she needs the assurance from the two people who saw to her baby. CHRIS WRAGGE: You got it. You guys did you a wonderful job. She`s very lucky that she got you guys with her the ones that were there. Jan and Bob, thank you both very much. We do appreciate it. JAN BLOUNT: Okay. BOB BLOUNT: Oh, you`re more than welcome, Sir. CHRIS WRAGGE: And keep up the good work. Just ahead, twelve best sellers and counting, Early Coffee with one of the most popular women authors of our generation, Anna Quindlen is next. You`re watching THE EARLY SHOW here on CBS. (ANNOUNCEMENTS) CHRIS WRAGGE: Most authors dream of having one best seller. Anna Quindlen has twelve. This is the first writer ever to have books on the New York Times fiction, nonfiction, and self-help bestseller`s lists. BETTY NGUYEN: And she`s also a Pulitzer prize-winning columnist whose latest novel, Every Last One, is in books- tores now. We are thrilled that Anna Quindlen joins us this morning for Early Coffee. Good morning to you. ANNA QUINDLEN (Author/Columnist): Thank you. It`s good to be here. BETTY NGUYEN: Well, it`s great to have you here. This latest book, Every Last One, you say you dedicated it to your children for helping save your life. How so? ANNA QUINDLEN: Oh, I think both my husband and I feel that our worlds would have been much narrower and less rich had we not had these three fantastic people in it. And as a writer also having kids helps you to re-experience the world. And that`s a great gift because it gives sharp edges once again to all the experiences that sometimes adulthood blunts a little bit. CHRIS WRAGGE: You`re a mother of three very much like Mary Beth, the-- the character in the book. And so fearful of something tragic happening to-- so you do all you can to prepare and to shelter your children from the harms that exist out there but you can`t protect them from everything. ANNA QUINDLEN: Hm. CHRIS WRAGGE: Is it similar to the way you are as a mom, this character? ANNA QUINDLEN: I think Mary Beth is a little more nervous-- CHRIS WRAGGE: Yeah. ANNA QUINDLEN: --than I was. My kids are all pretty out there and there was a moment in which they said this far and no farther-- CHRIS WRAGGE: Yeah. ANNA QUINDLEN: --but I mean, I`d be lying as a mother if I didn`t say anytime they got in a car or walk-- walked out the door I didn`t think "come back home safe." CHRIS WRAGGE: Yeah. Page 119 For May 17, 2010, CBS CBS News Transcripts May 15, 2010 Saturday

BETTY NGUYEN: Mm-Hm. CHRIS WRAGGE: I got to say this but I didn`t mean to interrupt you but sure I do have a happy life, I probably had about-- I`m going to say the fifteen e-mails yesterday people saying that book changed my life. BETTY NGUYEN: Really? ANNA QUINDLEN: Oh, that`s so nice-- that`s so nice to hear. CHRIS WRAGGE: But-- when they found out that you`re going to be here so I mean you talk about having an impact. And do you ever-- do you ever sit back and-- and kind of assess the impact that you have had on other writers, on women in general, I mean, just all the things that you`ve done? ANNA QUINDLEN: Oh. I-- I think you`d become a monster if you did that. But-- but, you know, you can`t help but notice when you`re on a book to alike the one that I just finished, when people come up and say that to you, you just think well, okay, I earned my place on the planet for a couple more weeks. CHRIS WRAGGE: Yeah. BETTY NGUYEN: Mm-Hm. It`s got to feel especial though, one of just three women to write an Op Ed for the New York Times, the column there, what is it about you and your writing that has broken through not only barriers but really speaks to people out there? ANNA QUINDLEN: Honestly, I think it`s that I`m really average at some level-- CHRIS WRAGGE: Yeah. BETTY NGUYEN: Mm. ANNA QUINDLEN: --that I think about things and I have the experiences that most ordinary people have. And so when I write about them, they say as they`ve often said to me when I meet them, "I feel like you`re inside my life. I feel like you`re inside my head." It-- it`s not that sense of, oh, she`s different than I am. It`s that I`m the same. CHRIS WRAGGE: Do you have anything that you were able to kind of figure out how you were able to draw that connection and how are you able to have that connection different than some others? ANNA QUINDLEN: You know, I`m kind of extroverted. I was a reporter for years. I love to connect with people. I love to talk to them and hear their stories. And when I finally got to do a column, it was as though we were having a conversation except that we weren`t in the same room. CHRIS WRAGGE: Yeah. When we-- if-- when you look back and you say to yourself, okay, had the Op Ed column, won a Pulitzer back in ninety-two- - BETTY NGUYEN: The other is that. CHRIS WRAGGE: --been in news with a Pulitzer, then in news week, and had a couple of books that they made-- BETTY NGUYEN: Right. CHRIS WRAGGE: --movies of that, I mean, what do you look back and what do you really like, did you like the part of being a journalist, did you like, you know, writing books that were turned in to movies, did you like working in news week, was there-- what did you like more than the other? BETTY NGUYEN: Yeah. What part of your fabulous life is your favorite? CHRIS WRAGGE: Because it all sounds great to me. BETTY NGUYEN: I know, all right. ANNA QUINDLEN: You know, Chris, when my kids were little, and we had a place in the city and a place in the country, people used to say to them all the time, which one do you like better and they used to say, we like both. CHRIS WRAGGE: Yeah. ANNA QUINDLEN: And the truth of the matter is the thing that I`ve loved is that I`ve been able to work in all these different forms that I haven`t had to box myself in. That`s been fantastic. Page 120 For May 17, 2010, CBS CBS News Transcripts May 15, 2010 Saturday

CHRIS WRAGGE: Yeah. BETTY NGUYEN: Mm-Hm. You had this latest book out, what`s next for you? What do you do now? ANNA QUINDLEN: I`m-- I`m actually going to write a memoir about aging. BETTY NGUYEN: Mm. ANNA QUINDLEN: Pay-- pegged to my sixtieth birthday. Since I was born, we`ve gained about fifteen years in life expectancy-- BETTY NGUYEN: Mm-Hm. ANNA QUINDLEN: --which has given us an entirely new time of life to wrestle with and I`m going to wrestle with it on a personal level. BETTY NGUYEN: What do you do with those fifteen years, huh? ANNA QUINDLEN: Well, that`s-- that`s what I`m going to talk about. I used to write a column called Life in the 30s. This is life in the 50s. BETTY NGUYEN: Love it. CHRIS WRAGGE: We`re going to look forward to that as well. Anna, thank you. Really, it`s such a pleasure to talk with you and so nice to have you with us here this morning. ANNA QUINDLEN: Thanks. BETTY NGUYEN: Congratulations. ANNA QUINDLEN: It`s good to be here with both of you. CHRIS WRAGGE: Well, guess what? Coming up, the science of a good marriage. BETTY NGUYEN: Mm-Hm. The latest research on attraction, sex ooh, and commitment. CHRIS WRAGGE: Yeah. BETTY NGUYEN: Studies that reveal the secrets behind marital bliss. This is THE EARLY SHOW on CBS. (ANNOUNCEMENTS) CHRIS WRAGGE: If you`re married or thinking about getting married-- BETTY NGUYEN: Mm-Hm. CHRIS WRAGGE: --you want to listen to this. Don`t believe everything you hear about marriage. New researchers finds that much of what we think, we know about the institution of marriage is dead wrong. BETTY NGUYEN: Ooh. CHRIS WRAGGE: For example, half of all marriages do not end in divorce. BETTY NGUYEN: But we`ve heard that for years and years, right? Believe it or not, single people do not have more sex than married couples. Oh yeah, joining us to explain is Tara Parker-Pope, author of For Better: The Science of a Good Marriage. Good morning to you. TARA PARKER-POPE (Author, For Better: The Science of a Good Marriage): Good morning. CHRIS WRAGGE: A lot of eyebrows have just been raised in the studio. BETTY NGUYEN: Oh, yes. (Chris Wragge laughing) TARA PARKER-POPE: (LAUGHING) Yeah. BETTY NGUYEN: So let`s get back to that. The fifty percent of all marriages ending in divorce. We`ve heard that time after time. You say, "No, that`s not true." Page 121 For May 17, 2010, CBS CBS News Transcripts May 15, 2010 Saturday

TARA PARKER-POPE: You know it`s really a murky statistic and it`s really not true. I believed it. I was going through a divorce and sort of felt like I was on the unlucky side of this coin toss. And as I pursue the research, I realized that statistic does not apply to most of us. BETTY NGUYEN: Mm-Hm. TARA PARKER-POPE: It does not apply to people getting marriage today. Divorce is getting less common and marriage is getting stronger. So couples getting married now, married in the nineties have much lower divorce rates than their counterparts in the seventies. BETTY NGUYEN: Why-- why is that? TARA PARKER-POPE: Marriage is changing. People are getting married a little later. They`re waiting longer. Mar- riages after twenty-five tend-- typically are stronger. We are seeing weaker relationships that will washout before you say I do. So, all of these trends are really quite good for marriage. CHRIS WRAGGE: I want to give people at home some tips that we`re going to have-- TARA PARKER-POPE: Sure. CHRIS WRAGGE: --let them follow along with us. We`d do this. And you say, one of the keys for the strong marriage here is to avoid conflict and-- and how do you avoid conflict in marriage without, of course, telling me, don`t get married? (Betty Nguyen laughing) TARA PARKER-POPE: Well it`s not so much to avoid conflict. Conflict is inevitable and every couple-- every married couple knows that they`re going to have conflicts. They`re going to have disagreements. It`s just normal. What you want to avoid is-- is sort of a hostile and negative conflict. CHRIS WRAGGE: Yeah. TARA PARKER-POPE: Conflict can be very productive for a relationship. So you want to learn how to-- it` not what you fight about, it`s not how often you fight. If you never fight, that doesn`t mean things are great. If you fight all the time, that doesn`t mean things are bad. It`s how you fight. CHRIS WRAGGE: Right. TARA PARKER-POPE: Are you making accusations, are you saying you never do this, you never do that? That`s a very good word to avoid during an argument. Don`t use the word you. CHRIS WRAGGE: You. BETTY NGUYEN: So, conflict, arguments are actually kind of good for a marriage. It`s healthy. But, you say in the first, what, three minutes of an argument, you know exactly what`s wrong with that particular marriage? TARA PARKER-POPE: Well that`s a research from a Seattle marriage researcher named John Gottman. And he does say that he can look at couples and see. And again, it`s how you start the fight that not only sets the tone for the argument but really for the whole marriage. BETTY NGUYEN: Hm. CHRIS WRAGGE: And as far as making marriages last, you say warmth and affection is key. I mean, it`s almost (IN- DISTINCT). TARA PARKER-POPE: It is really essential. And one thing we`ve learned from studying marriages is, you know, we focused a lot on the negative things that go on in relationships-- CHRIS WRAGGE: Yeah. TARA PARKER-POPE: --but there`s this new shift to really study the positive things. CHRIS WRAGGE: Mm-Hm. TARA PARKER-POPE: And you see that having a lot of positives, you know, a lot of compliments. They actually say a five to one ratio of positive to negative, showing warmth and affection, predicts a stronger relationship. Page 122 For May 17, 2010, CBS CBS News Transcripts May 15, 2010 Saturday

BETTY NGUYEN: How do you avoid boredom and keep that attraction alive? TARA PARKER-POPE: You know, there are studies that showed that boredom is a big predictor of marital unhappi- ness and they find that just simply doing new and different things together can really tap into some of those early romantic feelings that actually can release brain chemicals that makes it feel like your, you know, in the butterflies of early romantic life. So just go do something new and different. Take a class, go to a lecture, don`t do the same old thing. CHRIS WRAGGE: Is there any-- is there any truth to the theory that commitment is genetic? BETTY NGUYEN: Mm-Hm. TARA PARKER-POPE: Well, it`s really quite fascinating. We`ve seen this in-- in animal studies, there`s something called the prairie vole and-- CHRIS WRAGGE: Yeah. TARA PARKER-POPE: --and they know there`s a genetic component to that critter and to monogamy to-- to fidelity in-- in the wild. With humans, they`ve seen that there is a genetic trait that seems to predict happy or unhappy relationships. We`ve seen this in women. Women are less happy if they have certain genetic compatibility with their-- with their partners. So we do-- we do see these patterns. CHRIS WRAGGE: Tara, thank you very much. BETTY NGUYEN: Good stuff. Thanks. CHRIS WRAGGE: Good to see you. We`ll be right back. (ANNOUNCEMENTS) +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ (8:30 AM, EDT) CHRIS WRAGGE: And good morning once again everyone. As you can see, lots of energy. BETTY NGUYEN: Listen to them. (LAUGHING) CHRIS WRAGGE: Lots of energy on this Saturday morning. Welcome back to THE EARLY SHOW. I`m Chris Wragge. BETTY NGUYEN: Good morning everybody. I`m Betty Nguyen. Coming up, if you`re scared to-- (Crowd cheering) BETTY NGUYEN: (LAUGHING) This crowd is fabulous. Hey, but listen to this. Are you ready to bare it all at the beach? CHRIS WRAGGE: There you go. BETTY NGUYEN: That bikini body is ready? (Crowd cheering) BETTY NGUYEN: The youngsters do. But for some of us, we`re not so ready for that. So if you`re scared to bare it all, especially the rare area, we`re going to have some stuff that`s going to fix that right up for you. (LAUGHING) CHRIS WRAGGE: What area were you talking about? BETTY NGUYEN: (LAUGHING) The rear area. CHRIS WRAGGE: What, your back? BETTY NGUYEN: (LAUGHING) Yeah, that too. CHRIS WRAGGE: Did-- does the plaza, did you people know that there was a little prerequisite in order to be a part of our plaza here today, you had to come with a bathing suit. We got the big bathing suit fashion show coming up. Every- body-- Page 123 For May 17, 2010, CBS CBS News Transcripts May 15, 2010 Saturday

BETTY NGUYEN: (LAUGHING) Did you see the looks-- (Chris Wragge laughing) BETTY NGUYEN: --that went across their faces. Say what? CHRIS WRAGGE: (INDISTINCT) people. (Crowed cheering) CHRIS WRAGGE: Also there`s-- you know, they`re psyched. They`ll do it. They still do this in high school, right? They love this type of thing. BETTY NGUYEN: It`s true. CHRIS WRAGGE: Also, our Chef on a Shoestring will be making a delicious chicken milanese, part of the big three course dinner for under forty dollars. And an encore from our Second Cup Cafe guest, 4Troops. How about it for 4Troops, huh? (Crowd cheering) CHRIS WRAGGE: Awesome. But first, Betty, do you know what it`s time for? BETTY NGUYEN: It`s time for a little bit of news. CHRIS WRAGGE: You got it. Our last check of the morning`s headlines. RJ is at the news desk. Rebecca. REBECCA JARVIS: Good morning, Chris. Good morning, Betty. And, good morning to everyone at home. The U.S. is warning Americans not to travel to Thailand, which is in the grips of deadly political violence. For a third day, Bangkok, the capital, is a warzone between government forces with demonstrators trying to topple the government. At least, sixteen people have been killed in the clashes since Thursday, and the U.S. embassy in Bangkok is now offering to evacuate the family members of its staff. In Washington State, nine teenagers were arrested after causing quite a scare at an elementary school. Police say the teens were spotted with what appeared to be rifles inside the school. The guns turned out to be airsoft rifles, a type of pellet gun. Authorities are still investigating and don`t have a motive, yet. Nine-year-old Ruben van Assouw, the only survivor of a plane crash in Libya, returns to his homeland, the Netherlands, this morning on a medical evacuation flight. Doctors say the boy`s recovering well from multiple fractures. On Friday, he was told his parents and his brother died in the crash that claimed the lives of one hundred other victims. Those were the headlines at this hour. Now, let`s go back outside to Lonnie with our last check of the weather. Hey, Lonnie. LONNIE QUINN: Hey, Rebecca, good morning to you. Hey, look at our man Chris Wragge, huh? Look at this, look at this. Is this a nice guy? Help, little picture taking (LAUGHING). Didn`t know you were on camera, did you? CHRIS WRAGGE: Are we still on? I thought we were off the air, I`m sorry. LONNIE QUINN: Hey, just real quickly, we want to thank everybody for being out here today. Teresa (ph), right here. You have a whole slew of graduates. Now, these are your children and your nephews and your nieces, right? TERESA: Yes. LONNIE QUINN: Well, these are-- I got to tell you this top one here from Rutgers University graduates Monday, Jeff- rey Thomas. TERESA: Jeffrey. LONNIE QUINN: Jeffrey`s one of our technicians. Come over here Jeffrey, give your-- wait on, give-- give your mom a hug while I talk about some weather because here`s how I see it out there. Look, right back to work he goes, mom. You trained him well. I got to talk about the weather because I see wet weather right now around the Central and Southern Plains. The East Coast looks okay with the exception of around the Mid-Atlantic States. The West Coast is just fine. Page 124 For May 17, 2010, CBS CBS News Transcripts May 15, 2010 Saturday

Tomorrow, for your Sunday forecast, nothing`s really going to change too much. It`s still the same trouble area, right there, at the Central and Southern Plains out to the Mid-Atlantic. That`s a quick look at the national picture. Here`s a closer look at the weather for your weekend. (LOCAL WEATHER BREAK) (Crowd cheering) LONNIE QUINN: Hi everybody, it`s time now for one of my favorite times. It`s Lonnie`s Shout Out. And this week my shout out is going out to Oxnard, California, host their annual-- 27th Annual Strawberry Festival. So, this weekend, they`ve got all kinds of strawberry treats. They`ve got fun rides for the kids, like, get this, the berry-go-round. They`ve got spaberry treatments for the older set. Cook-offs, music, arts and crafts, and all kinds of good stuff. And did we mention, hmm, a strawberry or two, how about 1.6-million will be eaten today and tomorrow in Oxnard. And best of all, much of the proceeds go to charities. We would like to thank all our viewers in Oxnard, California, who watch the EARLY SHOW on Saturday on CBS 2, (foreign language). All right, Betty, we`re talking bikinis, right? (LAUGHING) BETTY NGUYEN: Yeah, just ahead, get your body beach ready by summer. The latest gadgets to zap cellulite, smooth wrinkled skin, and even curd-- cure that bacne. You know, we`re talking about acne on the back. Yeah, that`s next. You`re watching the EARLY SHOW on CBS. (ANNOUNCEMENTS) BETTY NGUYEN: Good morning and welcome back. It happens every year. You promise yourself you will diet and exercise. Yes, I do. Well, can you really get into that skin-tight bathing suit like you wanted to? Well now, it`s nearly Memorial Day and those winter pounds, they`re still there. But don`t fret. We`ve got the latest and greatest devices to get your body beach ready and looking just perfect in no time. And that means, you too, guys, listen up, we have to treat you as well. Joining us, our favorite plastic surgeon Doctor Anthony Youn. Good morning. DR. ANTHONY YOUN: Hi, Betty, how`re you? BETTY NGUYEN: All right, there`s no time to spare; Memorial Day right around the corner. First up, those under arms, what do we do about that hair that you just can`t get with the razor? DR. ANTHONY YOUN: Well, this is the newest devices called the Silk`n SensEpil. And the great thing about this is, it`s-- what we use-- similar to what we use in doctor`s offices to get rid of hair, you know, for long, long periods of time. BETTY NGUYEN: Okay. DR. ANTHONY YOUN: Or, you can take it home. You can use it on yourself while you watch TV. So, I`m going to show. It`s based on very similar technology, and you can see that flashing. What that does basically is it targets those hair follicles to give you long-term hair removal. BETTY NGUYEN: Do we need protective goggles for this? DR. ANTHONY YOUN: After this-- no. BETTY NGUYEN: No, okay. DR. ANTHONY YOUN: It`s not powerful enough that you need that. This is literally something you can buy at the department store. BETTY NGUYEN: How much? DR. ANTHONY YOUN: You can buy it online. About five hundred dollars. BETTY NGUYEN: Uh. DR. ANTHONY YOUN: But you can use it for long periods of time. They-- there`s recently-- recent study showed after six months fifty percent or more hair loss in a lot of people. Page 125 For May 17, 2010, CBS CBS News Transcripts May 15, 2010 Saturday

BETTY NGUYEN: Really, and is it permanent? DR. ANTHONY YOUN: Well, it`s called long term. So, there`s nothing to say permanent or-- BETTY NGUYEN: You have to ask the right questions, folks. DR. ANTHONY YOUN: --long term. Exactly. BETTY NGUYEN: And here`s another question for you. How did that feel? WOMAN #1: It`s just a warm tinkling sensation. BETTY NGUYEN: Not a pinch. WOMAN #1: Not a pinch, not painful at all. BETTY NGUYEN: You`d be able to do it on both arms by yourself, do you think? WOMAN #1: Absolutely. BETTY NGUYEN: Okay. And-- and no kind of creams or anything afterwards to make sure that the pain is numbed? DR. ANTHONY YOUN: Very mild treatment but it does seem to work, yeah. BETTY NGUYEN: All right, let`s move on to this because we want to get that derriere in shape for our bikinis, you know what we`re talking about. Um, but here`s the problem, I don`t see any dimples, any cellulite, any yielding, it`s just like hard. DR. ANTHONY YOUN: She`s like the after. There`s before and after, here`s the after. BETTY NGUYEN: This is the after? Okay. (LAUGHING) DR. ANTHONY YOUN: Yeah. You could say after. Well, this is the Wellbox. And this, like the Silk`n SenEpil, is a take-home device that you can use with this. It actually helps to smooth and tighten the buttocks. And what it is, and I can have you take a feel on your hand, is it`s a combination of suction-- BETTY NGUYEN: Yeah, it sucks it in. DR. ANTHONY YOUN: --as well as micropulsations to help to smooth and tighten the buttocks. BETTY NGUYEN: How does that feel? WOMAN #2: Feels like a massage. BETTY NGUYEN: Hey, we may want that. How much does that cost? DR. ANTHONY YOUN: This, not cheap. It`s about fifteen hundred dollars. BETTY NGUYEN: Okay, all right. DR. ANTHONY YOUN: But you can buy it online at wellbox.com or at department stores. BETTY NGUYEN: All right. And how long will it last? DR. ANTHONY YOUN: Well, the results, basically-- they typically recommend two to five treatments a week, do it for about a month and then you want to do maintenance treatments maybe once every month or two to keep it up. BETTY NGUYEN: Got you. DR. ANTHONY YOUN: And as long as you`re doing it, it should continue. BETTY NGUYEN: And for the folks who have acne on their back or as some like to call it bacne-- DR. ANTHONY YOUN: Bacne. BETTY NGUYEN: Both men and women have this. DR. ANTHONY YOUN: Yeah. BETTY NGUYEN: What do you do for that? Page 126 For May 17, 2010, CBS CBS News Transcripts May 15, 2010 Saturday

DR. ANTHONY YOUN: Well, this is called the Dermaglide Microdermabrasion System. And people think, well, baking soda, what you use it for? You use it in the kitchen. BETTY NGUYEN: Mm-Hm. DR. ANTHONY YOUN: Well, you can actually use baking soda to make your back look better. BETTY NGUYEN: Really? DR. ANTHONY YOUN: So this is a Microdermabrasion System that uses all natural baking soda crystals to actually lightly sand the skin. It can help clear bacne. It can help improve fine lines and just give yourself a nice smooth back for that bathing suit. BETTY NGUYEN: It feels kind of rough, though, doesn`t it? WOMAN #2: Not really. BETTY NGUYEN: No, not like sand paper on your, not bad. All right. As long as it produces results. How much is that? DR. ANTHONY YOUN: Those treatments, these are done in a doctor`s office. Treatments are approximately eighty dollars a treatment. You do it once every other week until you`re happy, then maintenance maybe once every month or two. BETTY NGUYEN: Okay. And quickly, this is one of my favorite products. DR. ANTHONY YOUN: All right. BETTY NGUYEN: I know a lot of people out there when they wave, their arm keeps waving long after they stopped. DR. ANTHONY YOUN: We call it a bat wing. BETTY NGUYEN: Yes. DR. ANTHONY YOUN: Yes. BETTY NGUYEN: How do you prevent that? DR. ANTHONY YOUN: Well, this is a newest, newest spray. It`s called the Retinoid Spray, and you can actually spray it over any part of the body besides the face and-- and mucous membranes, technically-- BETTY NGUYEN: Mm-Hm. DR. ANTHONY YOUN: --that you want to tighten up. And it`s new on the market. It actually hasn`t hit the market yet. It`s based off of something very similar to Retin-A. BETTY NGUYEN: Okay. DR. ANTHONY YOUN: And Retin-A is a cream that you can use to tighten up the skin of the face real nicely. This is especially formulated for the body; should be hitting doctors` offices, hopefully, within the next few months. BETTY NGUYEN: You say for the body, for all parts of the body, say the stomach area-- DR. ANTHONY YOUN (overlapping): You can do the tummy. You can do the arms, typically you do the arms. But like-- you know, like anything else, expex-- expectations are keys. BETTY NGUYEN: Mm-Hm. DR. ANTHONY YOUN: So this isn`t going to turn my grandma`s bat wings into Michelle Obama arms, but it can definitely create a nice change. BETTY NGUYEN: Do you want to wave for us? Are you ready to do that just yet. That`s okay. We will wait for you. DR. ANTHONY YOUN: Not immediate results. WOMAN #3: I don`t know. BETTY NGUYEN: Do you feel the tightening, though? Page 127 For May 17, 2010, CBS CBS News Transcripts May 15, 2010 Saturday

WOMAN #3: Yeah, actually I do. BETTY NGUYEN: Very good. Doctor Youn, as always we do appreciate. DR. ANTHONY YOUN: Thank you. BETTY NGUYEN: Great products out there, fast fixes. Thank you. DR. ANTHONY YOUN: Thank you. BETTY NGUYEN: And still ahead, we are going to take you over to Chris, who has our Chef on a Shoestring. Hey, Chris. CHRIS WRAGGE: Betty, thank you very much. Matt Accarrino is here. He`s our Chef on a Shoestring today. After that segment what we`re now going to do is bring some bread and chicken your way. Doctor, you can stick around. We`ll be right back. You`re watching THE EARLY SHOW here on CBS. (ANNOUNCEMENTS) (Crowd cheering) CHRIS WRAGGE: Yes, we are. And yes, it is. When in Rome, do as the Romans do, an adage, this week`s Chef on a Shoestring took to the heart as a young apprentice in Italy, visiting local farms and forage for the freshest ingredients every single day. Since then, Matthew Accarrino has brought his love of rustic cuisine to the finest restaurants in Amer- ica, like Per Se here in New York, and now, SPQR in San Francisco. His challenge today--prepare a three-course meal for four for under forty dollars. Matthew, good to see you. How`re you doing? MATTHEW ACCARRINO: How`re you? CHRIS WRAGGE: Good. How`re you? MATTHEW ACCARRINO: Thanks for having me. CHRIS WRAGGE: It is SPQR, right? It`s not Spqr? MATTHEW ACCARRINO: Correct, yeah, not Spqr. CHRIS WRAGGE: Let`s talk about what`s on the menu right now. So the folks at home know what we`re going to preparing for them. MATTHEW ACCARRINO: Okay. CHRIS WRAGGE: What do we have? MATTHEW ACCARRINO: So today we`re going to make split pea soup, chicken milanese, and banana walnut bread. CHRIS WRAGGE: All right. So everybody`s set. MATTHEW ACCARRINO: Yeah. CHRIS WRAGGE: Let`s start with the salad and the soup. MATTHEW ACCARRINO: All right. We`re going to start with the soup first. So we got a Dutch oven here. CHRIS WRAGGE: Yep. MATTHEW ACCARRINO: Put some oil. We`re going to sweat some vegetables. We got carrots. CHRIS WRAGGE: Just a little-- a little vegetable oil. MATTHEW ACCARRINO: Yeah, yeah, olive oil. CHRIS WRAGGE: Olive, okay. MATTHEW ACCARRINO: Carrots, celery, onion. We got garlic, bay leaf. I`m going to give that a quick stir. Season it. CHRIS WRAGGE: Smells good already. You got us there with it? MATTHEW ACCARRINO: This is a really simple soup. Page 128 For May 17, 2010, CBS CBS News Transcripts May 15, 2010 Saturday

CHRIS WRAGGE: Yeah. MATTHEW ACCARRINO: You know something you can make. It`s in one pot. Doesn`t take a lot of time. We`re going to add in the split peas now. Could you just stir it a bit? Today, we`re going to use ham hock. Ham hock. CHRIS WRAGGE: Exactly what is that? MATTHEW ACCARRINO: Yeah, exactly. It`s like a smoke-- smoked pork`s foot. CHRIS WRAGGE: Yeah. MATTHEW ACCARRINO: It`s kind of like a cheaper alternative to bacon. CHRIS WRAGGE: Okay. MATTHEW ACCARRINO: Spray it after you cook it. You can-- CHRIS WRAGGE (overlapping): There is-- there is actually a cheaper alternative to bacon. MATTHEW ACCARRINO: Yeah. Probably-- you know, bacon I`d rather eat it. CHRIS WRAGGE: Yeah, yeah. MATTHEW ACCARRINO: So this gives a great earthy flavor to the soup. And so we`ll sweat those vegetables. CHRIS WRAGGE: Yep. MATTHEW ACCARRINO: Ham hock goes in. Water. You don`t even need to use chicken stock so. CHRIS WRAGGE: Yeah. MATTHEW ACCARRINO: And then there we go. And keep doing that. When it`s going to cook it-- CHRIS WRAGGE: How long is this cooking up for? MATTHEW ACCARRINO: It takes about an hour. CHRIS WRAGGE: About an hour, really? MATTHEW ACCARRINO: We want to make sure-- sure all the peas are cooked, all the vegetables are cooked. CHRIS WRAGGE: Got it. MATTHEW ACCARRINO: And we end up here. CHRIS WRAGGE: Hour later, there we are. MATTHEW ACCARRINO: Yeah, hour later. And then we puree it. If you puree it, nice and smooth. You don`t have to puree it if you don`t want to-- CHRIS WRAGGE: Yeah. MATTHEW ACCARRINO: --you know, rustic. You got a spoon there? CHRIS WRAGGE: Let me try, yeah. Here we go. MATTHEW ACCARRINO: So-- I mean, I like the puree, it`s nice texture. And then I got-- I took the meat from the ham hock and diced it. So, you know, I`m not going to throw anything away. And then got some have croutons that we made. CHRIS WRAGGE: Can I have a nice little bacon soup? MATTHEW ACCARRINO: There you go. CHRIS WRAGGE: I think you made it before, huh? MATTHEW ACCARRINO: That`s it. That`s the soup. Super simple. All right. And then-- CHRIS WRAGGE: It`s fantastic. Really good. MATTHEW ACCARRINO: All right. Main course. Page 129 For May 17, 2010, CBS CBS News Transcripts May 15, 2010 Saturday

CHRIS WRAGGE: On to the chicken now. MATTHEW ACCARRINO: Yeah, on to the chicken. So chicken cutlets. You know-- I mean, I don`t know, I grow up eating chicken cutlets. Not-- not so hard to make. CHRIS WRAGGE: Yeah. MATTHEW ACCARRINO: But, you know, this is an-- CHRIS WRAGGE: Got to pound them? MATTHEW ACCARRINO: I bought them, pounded. CHRIS WRAGGE: Yep. MATTHEW ACCARRINO: I mean that-- that`s what I would suggest to them because this whole meal is about making something that`s easy, that`s simple. CHRIS WRAGGE: Yeah. MATTHEW ACCARRINO: And then-- and the trick I like is-- to use a fork. CHRIS WRAGGE: Okay. MATTHEW ACCARRINO: You don`t want to touch, I mean, you can-- CHRIS WRAGGE: Yeah. MATTHEW ACCARRINO: --then you got to wash your hands but this one`s for you. You`re going to do it. CHRIS WRAGGE: I`ll do it. MATTHEW ACCARRINO: So-- CHRIS WRAGGE: I don`t mind the hands to be honest with you. MATTHEW ACCARRINO: Really? CHRIS WRAGGE: Yeah. MATTHEW ACCARRINO: All right. Go-- CHRIS WRAGGE: That`s why I got the apron on here, you know what I mean? MATTHEW ACCARRINO: Flour, egg, easy, huh? CHRIS WRAGGE: Piece of cake, bread it up. MATTHEW ACCARRINO: Yeah, bread it up. CHRIS WRAGGE: So this is how we do it. MATTHEW ACCARRINO: Ha-ha-ha. CHRIS WRAGGE: Back in the old country. MATTHEW ACCARRINO: Pat those bread crumbs in. (Chris Wragge laughing) MATTHEW ACCARRINO: Back in the old country. CHRIS WRAGGE: Say when. MATTHEW ACCARRINO: Olive oil-- in. All right. Look at that. Easy, so-- CHRIS WRAGGE: Yeah. MATTHEW ACCARRINO: Right in the pan, it`s going to cook like this. We`re going to get it brown on one side. CHRIS WRAGGE: That`s how it`s done, folks. Yeah. Page 130 For May 17, 2010, CBS CBS News Transcripts May 15, 2010 Saturday

MATTHEW ACCARRINO: All right. Clean your hands. CHRIS WRAGGE: Let it go. MATTHEW ACCARRINO: And then flip it to the other side. Amazing. I have one already. CHRIS WRAGGE: Look at that. MATTHEW ACCARRINO: So here we are done. I got-- we`re going to grab that salad. We got tomatoes, cucumbers over there, dump them both right in. CHRIS WRAGGE: Ready? MATTHEW ACCARRINO: Yeah. I`m ready. I`m ready. All right. And then we`re going to put a little bit of olive oil-- CHRIS WRAGGE: Oil on there. Can`t enough of olive oil-- MATTHEW ACCARRINO: Yeah. CHRIS WRAGGE: --little vinegar. MATTHEW ACCARRINO: --balsamic vinegar-- (Crowd cheering) MATTHEW ACCARRINO: Seasoning with salt-- CHRIS WRAGGE: Little salt. MATTHEW ACCARRINO: --pepper. CHRIS WRAGGE: Garnish it up. MATTHEW ACCARRINO: Do you mind if I take the other fork there? CHRIS WRAGGE: You got it. MATTHEW ACCARRINO: Take out these cutlets, yeah. We`re going to go right on the plate here. So a quick toss of the salad. So we go right on there. CHRIS WRAGGE: Over on there. MATTHEW ACCARRINO: Yeah. Little tomatoes. Nice and fresh. CHRIS WRAGGE: And then you`ll have it. MATTHEW ACCARRINO: This is something you can do year round. The cutlets are great technique because it`s something-- it`s really, really simple. If you did it with radicchio and oranges in the winter-- CHRIS WRAGGE: Yeah. MATTHEW ACCARRINO: --you could do-- add corn to it in the summers-- CHRIS WRAGGE: Perfect. MATTHEW ACCARRINO: --or something and this makes a great sandwich the next day. CHRIS WRAGGE: And as far we have for dessert here? MATTHEW ACCARRINO: Dessert? Banana bread. Recipe from a woman I grew up next to-- CHRIS WRAGGE: Yeah. MATTHEW ACCARRINO: --gave me the recipe, nice enough. I still use it. It`s a great recipe. Easy. Mashed bananas, walnuts, sour cream. CHRIS WRAGGE: A little dollop of whip cream on there? MATTHEW ACCARRINO: Now then, what we do and it`s nice as we toast it in the pan so we got that and then-- CHRIS WRAGGE: It stays fresh. Page 131 For May 17, 2010, CBS CBS News Transcripts May 15, 2010 Saturday

MATTHEW ACCARRINO: --we`re going to add a little butter. CHRIS WRAGGE: You do that, huh? It`s kind of like with a-- (Matthew Accarrino laughing) MATTHEW ACCARRINO: --with any type of bread. Little butter on there. MATTHEW ACCARRINO: Yeah. A little butter in the pan and then the bread goes in right in the oven. And when it comes out, you got it right here. CHRIS WRAGGE: Fantastic. MATTHEW ACCARRINO: Here`s Lonnie? (Cross talking) BETTY NGUYEN: That`s what I`m talking about. MATTHEW ACCARRINO: Yeah. LONNIE QUINN: Oh, ladies and gentlemen, this is just in, Chris Wragge`s hair will move. (Cross talking) CHRIS WRAGGE: It happens in the kitchen, folks. All right. Hey, let`s talk about exactly how low you can go because we have this little competition week to week. It`s been a while since we`ve had anybody crack the top three. BETTY NGUYEN: True.

HIGHLIGHT: Seeking the Times Square bomber. Cleaning up the Gulf oil spill.

HARRY SMITH: Manhunt: Police say this newly released surveillance video could point to the man behind the botched Times Square car bomb. We`ll bring you the latest on the desperate search to find him. As oil from a ruptured well continues to gush into the Gulf of Mexico, President Obama vows that British Petroleum will pay. We`ll speak with the CEO of BP. Severe southern storms leave at least fifteen dead as thousands are forced to evacuate the raging floodwaters--is relief in sight. And United and Continental get set to become the world`s largest airline-- is that good news or bad news. We`ll take you inside the three-billion- dollar merger, early this Monday morning, May 3, 2010. ANNOUNCER: From CBS News, it`s THE EARLY SHOW with Harry Smith and Maggie Rodriguez, live from Fifth Avenue in New York City. HARRY SMITH: On this very wet Monday morning, Maggie is off this morning and sitting in for her is Betty Nguyen. Good morning, Betty. BETTY NGUYEN: Good morning, Harry. Good morning everybody. HARRY SMITH: We got a lot of news to get to. First, the hunt is on for the man who may have been behind the wheel of that botched car bomb in Time Square on Saturday. CBS News national correspondent Jim Axelrod is there and has the latest. Jim, Good morning. JIM AXELROD (CBS News National Correspondent): Well, good morning, Harry. And the key to that hunt may be in one or two of the thousands of security cameras here in Times Square. Since the bombing attempt, police have been combing through hours of surveillance video looking for a suspect. (Begin VT) JIM AXELROD: The NYPD is focused on finding a white man in his forties, seen here changing his shirt in an alley near the vehicle with the bomb. In the video, he`s looking back at the SUV as he leaves the scene just at the time the bomb was set to go off. Sources tell CBS News the bomb found in the Nissan Pathfinder smacked in the middle of New York`s Theatre District, was crudely built with little chance of detonating. But the people packing Times Square Satur- day night certainly didn`t know that. MAN: We heard an explosion sound. We didn`t know what it was, but we just started-- everybody started running and they made us run, too, because we were scared. We didn`t know what to do. Page 134 For May 3, 2010, CBS CBS News Transcripts May 3, 2010 Monday

JIM AXELROD: The Pathfinder had three propane tanks inside, two red five- gallon containers filled with gas, two clocks with batteries and electrical wire, fireworks, and a hundred pounds of fertilizer; though not the kind that could explode. COMMISSIONER RAYMOND KELLY (New York City Police Department): It would have caused a significant fire- ball. Clearly, it was the intent of whoever did this to cause mayhem, to create casualties. DUANE JACKSON (Street Vendor): All right, sweetie. WOMAN: Thank you. DUANE JACKSON: Yeah. JIM AXELROD: Duane Jackson was one of the heroes, a street vendor selling t-shirts just eight feet from the car. He called over a mounted cop when things didn`t seem right to him. DWAYNE JACKSON: Looked inside the window and there were the keys in the car and the car was running. And then you heard this little pop, pop, pop, which was almost like a firecracker going off and stuff. And then the sparks, inside the car, you could see them. JIM AXELROD: The SUV had Connecticut plates that did not match the vehicle and were traced to an auto repair shop there. (End VT) JIM AXELROD: And U.S. officials tell CBS News they are not putting very much stock in claims from the Taliban in Pakistan taking credit for the attempted bombing. Harry. HARRY SMITH: Jim Axelrod in Times Square here in New York this morning. Thank you. Joining us from Washington is the secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, Janet Napolitano. Madame Sec- retary, good morning. JANET NAPOLITANO (Secretary of Homeland Security): Good morning. HARRY SMITH: Does this feel like a solo act or do you believe a conspiracy might be involved? JANET NAPOLITANO: I think that we don`t know enough yet to conclude one way or the other. I think we know that there are investigative leads that need to be pursued. They are being pursued through a Joint Task Force, including the New York City Police Department; plus, the FBI and law enforcement officials from our department. So every lead that has been generated is being tracked to its source. HARRY SMITH: This has been described as sort of amateurish, almost Rube Goldberg-like. We think about Najibullah Zazi, who was planting a terrorist attack for the subways of New York. Had there been a little more planning, had there been a little more forethought, one of these is going to be successful. Is a successful terrorist attack inevitable in the United States? JANET NAPOLITANO: Well, listen, we-- we, every time an event like this occurs, send information out to state, local law enforcement. They are the eyes and ears of the law enforcement community around the country. Watching out for abandoned vehicles, or in this case, there`s a very alert pedestrian noticed, you know, smoke coming out of a vehicle. HARRY SMITH: Mm-Hm. JANET NAPOLITANO: Everybody needs to be, and-- and it is a-- a part of the process here of-- of being watchful, of being vigilant. But can we give you a hundred percent guarantee that one of these things might not be successful? No. We can only work as we are to make sure risk is minimized. HARRY SMITH: Because it`s interesting. One of the newspapers said it`s eleven times that New York has been, at least, the target of an attack since 9/11. Most of these, you know, failed, clearly, failed attempts. But that-- that-- the-- ke-- as long as the door keep-- gets knocked on enough, it seems like at some point something`s going to happen. Do you think the country is mentally prepared for this? JANET NAPOLITANO: Oh, I think we have a very strong, mentally-prepared country. And I think New York City has one of the most robust law enforcement and security structures of the entire country. And so, yes, we work together to minimize risk. And if one of these attacks were to, in fact, succeed we would be prepared to respond very quickly. Page 135 For May 3, 2010, CBS CBS News Transcripts May 3, 2010 Monday

HARRY SMITH: Secretary Janet Napolitano, we thank you very much for your time this morning. I appreciate it. JANET NAPOLITANO: Thank you. HARRY SMITH: Now here`s Betty. BETTY NGUYEN: Now to the growing disaster in the Gulf. It is a race against the clock to try and stop the massive oil flow from turning into what President Obama calls "a potentially unprecedented environmental disaster." CBS News correspondent Mark Strassmann is in Empire, Louisiana, with the latest. Good morning, Mark. MARK STRASSMANN: Good morning, Betty. The U.S. Navy admiral in charge of emergency operations here says that this oil leak could get as much as twenty times worse, that`s a hundred-thousand barrels of oil a day or four million garr-- gallons, which is why President Obama came here urging the fastest possible fix. (Begin VT) PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA: How do we plug this hole? MARK STRASSMANN: This is now a race against time. So, President Obama came to Louisiana to inspect this emergency operation and to remind everyone, especially BP, about the top priority: seal that gushing well. PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA: So let me be clear. BP is responsible for this leak. BP will be paying the bill. But as President of the United States, I`m going to spare no effort to respond to this crisis for as long as it continues. MARK STRASSMANN: Every day another five thousand barrels of oil leaked into the Gulf of Mexico. BP, the oil giant responsible here, blames a faulty piece of equipment it`s trying to repair. LAMAR MCKAY (Chairman, BP): This is like doing open-heart surgery at five thousand feet within the dark with robot-controlled submarines. MARK STRASSMANN: This growing spill now stretches a hundred thirty miles long, seventy miles wide--the size of Puerto Rico. Landfall is projected in the next seventy-two hours somewhere between Louisiana and Alabama. PETE YOUNG (Fishing Boat Captain): I mean all this is my office. MARK STRASSMANN: Pete Young is a fishing boat captain in Venice, Louisiana, worried that waves of oil could kill fishing in these marshlands and his livelihood. PETE YOUNG: Without this, we have nothing. We`re in-- we`re going to be in a lot of trouble if something doesn`t happen. (End VT) MARK STRASSMANN: For fishermen like him, this spill just went from bad to worse. They`re all out of work for at least nine more days because a fishing ban is now in effect from Louisiana to part of the-- the Florida Panhandle. Betty. BETTY NGUYEN: CBS`s Mark Strassmann in Empire, Louisiana. Thank you. Joining us now from Houma, Louisiana, is the CEO of BP, Tony Hayward. Good morning to you. TONY HAYWARD (CEO, BP): Good morning, Betty. Thank you for the opportunity. BETTY NGUYEN: Sure. We`ve heard the President say BP is responsible for this. Does your company take one hundred percent responsibility for this leak and really the costs that are associated with it? TONY HAYWARD: The-- this is not our accident, but it`s our responsibility to deal with it, to arrest the leak, to deal with the oil on the surface, to ensure that there is no or minimal environmental damage. And where there are legitimate claims for business interruption, we will make them good. BETTY NGUYEN: So you`re talking about people who have been affected, whether it be the fishermen, people associated-- TONY HAYWARD (overlapping): Yeah. BETTY NGUYEN: --with businesses that will definitely be affected by-- by this oil spill. TONY HAYWARD: That-- that is correct. Page 136 For May 3, 2010, CBS CBS News Transcripts May 3, 2010 Monday

BETTY NGUYEN: And when it comes to those livelihoods, can you give the folks who are affected any indication of how long it might take for this leak to be contained? TONY HAYWARD: We`re working on three options in the subsea. The first is the intervention on the-- what`s called the blowout preventer, which is the valve system at the top of the well, which has failed. It`s unprecedented, the failure. But it has failed. We`re using submersible robots to work on that. It`s a bit like doing open-heart surgery at five thousand feet beneath the surface. The second operation we`re working on is to install-- you can think of it is as the hood of your oven, across the top of the leak to channel the oil to surface and deal with it on the surface. That will be in the field next weekend. And the third thing that we`re doing is we`re drilling a relief well to intersect this well and that began operations yesterday. So that`s the leak arresting. In addition to that we clearly have a massive, massive operation on the surface to contain the spill. We`re doing something that`s never been done before. We are deploying dispersants on the seabed at the source of the leak. That appears to be having a significant impact on the amount of oil that is getting to the surface. On the surface, we have a fleet of a hundred vessels to contain the spill. We are dispersing dispersants from a-- almost-- on Air Force of- - planes. We got five planes, including two Hercules C-130s, deploying dispersant. And thus far, we have been successful in not letting this get to the shore and we are absolutely focused on that. In the event that it does get to the shore, we have launched an enormous effort with the local communities and the National Guard to defend the beaches. BETTY NGUYEN (overlapping): All right. TONY HAYWARD: And in the last forty-eight hours, we`ve signed up seven hundred fishing vessels. We`ve trained three and a half thousand people in how to deal with oil if they find it on the shore and that effort will continue to ramp up. BETTY NGUYEN: All right. TONY HAYWARD: And we`re working very closely with the local communities to ensure that they are prepared should oil reach the shore. BETTY NGUYEN: And we appreciate your information this morning. The CEO of BP, thank you for your time. TONY HAYWARD: Thank you very much. Thank you. HARRY SMITH: So much in unchartered territory here-- BETTY NGUYEN: Mm-Hm. HARRY SMITH: --with an unprecedented amount of oil coming out of this. BETTY NGUYEN: And it`s growing by the day. HARRY SMITH: Indeed. And since you`re here, right-- BETTY NGUYEN: Mm-Hm. HARRY SMITH: --and Maggie is off, Chris Wragge-- BETTY NGUYEN: Musical chairs. HARRY SMITH: --is at the news desk. BETTY NGUYEN: Good morning, Chris. CHRIS WRAGGE: Lots going on out there this morning. HARRY SMITH: He`s left, right? CHRIS WRAGGE: That`s it. HARRY SMITH: Good morning, Chris. CHRIS WRAGGE: All right. Good to see both of you and good morning to you at home. This morning in Nashville, the Cumberland River is at its highest level in nearly fifty years. The deadly flooding has forced thousands to evacuate. It`s part of a weekend storm front that left at least fifteen dead in the Mississippi Valley; Tennessee and Mississippi also hardest hit. Now CBS News national correspondent Jeff Glor is in Gulfport, Mississippi, for us this morning and he joins us now. Jeff. Page 137 For May 3, 2010, CBS CBS News Transcripts May 3, 2010 Monday

JEFF GLOR (CBS News National Correspondent): Hey, Chris, good morning to you. Here in Gulfport, the relentless rains continue this morning. But as you mentioned, the situation even worse farther north in Nashville. (Begin VT) JEFF GLOR: Floodwaters closed Interstate-24 near Nashville, stranding cars and sweeping away at least one structure, a Christian school building. Just two days into the month, it`s already the wettest May on record in Nashville with thirteen and a half inches of rain by Sunday night. And in some areas southwest of Nashville, almost twice as much rain fell--more than twenty-four inches. Near Memphis, the storm hit Annie Beasley especially hard. ANNIE BEASLEY (Atoka, TN Resident): It`s destroyed our home. It`s our first home. And we`ve got a baby coming in a few weeks. JEFF GLOR: Two hundred miles west in Scotland, Arkansas, a tornado Friday night flattened Michael Stobaugh`s home. MICHAEL STOBAUGH: Our living room is in our neighbor`s house. (End VT) JEFF GLOR: The people from the Florida Panhandle to the Carolinas are bracing for more of these storms today with the possibility of more flooding and more tornadoes. Chris. CHRIS WRAGGE: CBS`s Jeff Glor in Gulfport for us this morning. Jeff, thank you very much. A police officer in Detroit has been killed, four others wounded this morning. The officers were responding to a 911 call overnight. They were met with gunfire as they approached the home. And the officers and a suspect were taken to the hospital. A handgun and drugs were recovered at the scene. And an investigation is currently under way. The FDA is investigating a drug company following the recall of very popular children`s medications. Johnson & John- son`s consumer division voluntarily recalled over forty children`s liquid medications. The drugs include Tylenol, Tyle- nol Plus, Motrin, Zyrtec, and Benadryl. Some of the drugs may have a higher version of the active ingredient than is listed on the bottle. But the FDA says the chance of a serious problem is remote. And actress Helen Wagner, star of As the World Turns has died. (Excerpt from As the World Turns) CHRIS WRAGGE: Wagner spoke the first words on the show in its premiere on April 2, 1956. As the World Turns completes its run with its last episode to air this September. She played Nancy Hughes for more than fifty years, holding the Guinness World Record for playing the same role in a television series for the longest amount of time. Helen Wagn- er was ninety-one years old. Let`s switch gears right now and talk a little weather and bring on Dave Price with the first check of this morning`s weather, lots of weather all around the nation. DAVE PRICE: We`ve got a lot going on. Not a great travel day everyone. And let`s talk about our weather headlines for the morning. The Southeast soaker, what we`re dealing with. Of course, we just heard from Jeff Glor, it`s continuing to advance eastward. And a soggy situation in the Northwest. So to the maps we go. We`ll start out in Seattle. We`ll bring out these numbers. The Pacific Northwest, you`re talking about, about an inch of rain stretching from Seattle to Portland. We`ll watch that. It is really going to continue for the next twelve to twenty-four hours. We`ll keep an eye on it and then it`s going to continue to advance eastward. Now, we`ll go to Atlanta. This is part of the same system that brought all that deadly weather just twenty-four hours ago, flooding downpours, damaging winds, hail stretching from Mobile up to Atlanta, where you could see upwards of let`s say an inch and a half of precipitation. So we`ll keep an eye on that. As far as our nation`s high temperatures today, it is going to be seventy-nine degrees as we head to New York, eighty-three in Raleigh. Keep in mind, in the Northeast, though, scattered thunderstorms, some of those could be strong if you`re traveling within this corridor by air. You are going to see some delays. Out in the Southwest, things look very nice-- seventy-one degrees in Los Angeles and sixty-six in Albuquerque. Back up to the nineties as you head to some places in the desert Southwest. That`s a quick look at our national maps. Here`s an early look at what`s going on in your area. (LOCAL WEATHER BREAK) Page 138 For May 3, 2010, CBS CBS News Transcripts May 3, 2010 Monday

DAVE PRICE: Sixteen minutes past the hour. That`s out first look at the weather picture this morning. Harry and Betty, back to you. HARRY SMITH: Thanks very much, Dave. BETTY NGUYEN: All right. Thank you, Dave. DAVE PRICE: Yep. BETTY NGUYEN: Coming up, a new picture of Maddie McCann. We will have the latest on the search for the little girl, who vanished three years ago today. HARRY SMITH: Also United and Continental plane to create the world`s largest airline--what does that mean for you. We`re going to find out from our travel expert, Peter Greenberg. BETTY NGUYEN: And Conan O`Brien breaks his silence and takes some shots at Jay Leno. This is The EARLY SHOW on CBS. (ANNOUNCEMENTS) HARRY SMITH: Well, there`s a big merger going between Continental and United-- BETTY NGUYEN: Yep. HARRY SMITH: --it has all kinds of ramifications. Everybody around here first said what happens to my frequent flyer miles? BETTY NGUYEN: That`s the number one thing people want to know. HARRY SMITH: But it will have other kinds of ramifications in terms of regional airlines and how they get fed in to the hubs and everything else. Our Peter Greenberg who knows all will be along in a couple of minutes-- BETTY NGUYEN (overlapping): Yeah. HARRY SMITH: --to help explain it to folks and let them know how-- how it might affect them. BETTY NGUYEN: We`re also going to be talking about Madeleine McCann. You may remember her. Three years ago, she disappeared at a Portuguese resort. Well, there is more information as to possibly what may have happened to her. Her parents are worried that the case may have gone cold. But we have a new image today on what she may look like. Again, she disappeared three years ago. We`ll have the latest. HARRY SMITH: We`ll be back right after this. (LOCAL NEWS BREAK) HARRY SMITH: Oh, man, ought to be young. I don`t mind standing in the rain. Welcome back to THE EARLY SHOW. We`ll go meet those folks in about half an hour or so as we welcome you back to THE EARLY SHOW. Mag- gie is off today. Betty Nguyen is filling in. BETTY NGUYEN: Great to be here. HARRY SMITH: Coming up, it could become the world`s largest airline--United and Continental announced planes to join forces today. But what does that mean for you, especially, if you`re a frequent flyer. We`re going to ask our travel expert, Peter Greenberg. BETTY NGUYEN: And Conan O`Brien broke his silence and spoke with 60 MINUTES`s to Steve Kroft. It was his first interview since being booted as host of the Tonight Show. And Conan doesn`t hold back at all talking about Jay Leno and his quit from NBC. We will bring you that in just a bit. But first, today marks an unfortunate anniversary. It was three years ago that little Madeleine McCain, McCann, I should say, disappeared from her parent`s holiday resort in Portugal. But so far there are no real leads on what happened to her. CBS News correspondent Elizabeth Palmer is in London with more on this mystery. Good morning, Elizabeth. ELIZABETH PALMER: Good morning. Yes, over last three years, there have been literally hundreds of alleged sight- ings of little Madeleine but not one has panned out. Still her parents, who are both doctors, hope that one day they will find her alive. And to mark this anniversary, they`ve released a new video. Page 139 For May 3, 2010, CBS CBS News Transcripts May 3, 2010 Monday

(Begin VT) ELIZABETH PALMER: Its focus, the McCanns` search for their daughter, three years nonstop, handing out posters and photos, combing the internet, and responding to tips from the public. The couple have also spoken out in an interview on Portuguese TV about what they saw the night Madeleine vanished. KATE MCCANN (Madeleine McCann`s Mother): The shutters which had been down all week and when I went in and there was like ghosts that blew the curtains open. That`s when I noticed that the shutter had been pulled up. ELIZABETH PALMER: On the night of May 3, 2007, the McCann`s left their three children sleeping in the family`s vacation condo and went to dinner at a restaurant a hundred yards away. Around ten o`clock when Kate McCann went to check on the children, she found Madeleine was gone. The McCanns have dismissed the theory that she wandered off. They`re convinced she was abducted. GERRY MCCANN (Madeleine McCann`s Father): If you`re saying, is it theoretically possible Madeleine left the apartment? Then, yes. Do we believe it and do we think she was capable of leaving the apartment the way it was found, and by which exit did she leave? Then, obviously, absolutely not. ELIZABETH PALMER: Since 2007, photos of Madeleine have been widely publicized. One shows her distinctive right eye. Another is a projection of how she might look two years on. All of them designed to provoke someone somewhere to come forward and shed some real light on a little girl`s fate. (End VT) ELIZABETH PALMER: The McCanns are now saying that they`re going to ask the Portuguese police to reopen their investigation to follow-up leads that private investigators have uncovered, investigators working for the family. Betty. BETTY NGUYEN: CBS`s Elizabeth Palmer in London. Thank you. Joining us now from Washington is Pat Brown, author of The Profiler. Good morning to you. PAT BROWN (Criminal Profiler): Good morning, Betty. BETTY NGUYEN: There`s been some criticism by the McCanns about the investigation, specifically saying that not much has been done. Is that truly the situation or is it an instance where the leads have just gone cold in this case? PAT BROWN: Well, Betty, I think it`s a combination of a lot of things. One is that one-- one theory was that the child was abducted. And another theory was that she died in the apartment. And this, of course, is the theory the McCanns aren`t too happy about. And they don`t want that one out there. And so they`re-- they`re still angry at the Portuguese police. And this is one thing I don`t think they should bring up at this point in time. You know, after three years that they`re looking to get the cooperation of the police, it`s not the time to say you`re not following up our leads and you`re-- and they also mentioned that it`s possible they aren`t following up the leads because they don`t want the child to be found alive because that would be embarrassing. Not really. What you want to say, you just want to keep it positive and say, you know, ask for somebody`s help and not bring anything negative into the conversation. BETTY NGUYEN: How important is this new picture of what possibly Madeleine looks like today going to be to that investigation? PAT BROWN: Well, I think it`s very important to have both pictures out there. One, of course, so that the people remember her at the time so if they`re looking back and they remember seeing something, they will be able to say, oh, yes, that was Madeleine. And the other picture is terribly important because if she were still alive out there, then they would, obviously, want to have people looking for the child as she is today. BETTY NGUYEN: Have private investigators found any significant leads that you know of? PAT BROWN: Not that I know of. Even since the very beginning when they have believed that the private investigators had great leads that weren`t being followed up on, I never saw that they really panned out to be anything and they`re saying there`s other leads that aren`t being followed up. And I don`t know what those are and I don`t think anybody really does. I don`t know what leads they could be finding at this point in time. BETTY NGUYEN: So at this time should it be more about closure for the family or truly is there a-- a situation where possibly she could be found alive? Page 140 For May 3, 2010, CBS CBS News Transcripts May 3, 2010 Monday

PAT BROWN: Well, for the McCanns, I mean, if they`re-- if they`re innocent of any wrongdoing in this whole situation, of course, they`re going to continue to want to search for their child. They`re always going to believe their child is out there. That would be normal for any parent whose child has gone missing. They`re not going to give up on her. So they`re doing the right thing in that sense that they`re trying to keep her in the public eye. And quite frankly, this child has been seen everywhere. I mean, as far as missing children go, she`s one of the most publicized missing children in the world. So that`s one of the most unusual things about this. With her picture out as much as it`s been out there, she would have to be pretty well hidden for not-- her not to have shown up anyplace at this point. BETTY NGUYEN: The parents are definitely holding on to hope as would any parents. Pat Brown, thank you for your time today. We do appreciate it. PAT BROWN: Thanks, Betty. HARRY SMITH: All right. We`re going to switch gears, time to get a look at the weather outside and lots to look at. Dave Price is standing by. Good morning, sir. DAVE PRICE: Sloppy stuff all over the country. Good morning, Harry. Good morning, Betty. Let`s go to the maps rights now and see what`s happening all across the country. Let`s take a look, first, we`ll kind of highlight New Orleans and the area right around the Gulf Coast. Two major battles today--one is containment, and the other is advancement. Twenty- to thirty- mile-per-hour wind is still blowing. Keep in mind, eight to twelve foot waves. That`s going to be problematic. Things should calm over the next twenty-four hours. Let`s wind back now. Let`s highlight one of the cities affected by some rain today. Keep in mind, New York City if you`re flying into the metro area, Newark, LaGuardia, Kennedy, you`re going to see some potentially heavy thunderstorms. Very warm temperatures around the eighty- degree mark. And, finally, we`ll take a look at the next twenty-four hours. Sloppy weather, strong stuff rolling through areas of the Southeast today, especially in Georgia. Keep in mind, Hartsfield Airport, you could see some significant afternoon delays building as well and rough weather. That`s a quick look at our national maps. Here`s an early look at what`s going on in your area. (LOCAL WEATHER BREAK) DAVE PRICE: Seven thirty-seven right now. That`s a look at our weather. Guys. HARRY SMITH: Seven thirty-seven. Airline mergers. DAVE PRICE: Right. HARRY SMITH: I just kind of all-- (Cross talking) DAVE PRICE: You`re good. You are good. BETTY NGUYEN: All come together? HARRY SMITH: (INDISTINCT) How it happens. Up next, the billion-dollar merger of United and Continental. We`ll find out if it`s a good thing or a bad thing for travelers when we come back. (ANNOUNCEMENTS) HARRY SMITH: After rejecting the idea a couple years ago, Continental and United Airlines announced plans this morning to finally merge. It will create the world`s largest airline. But is it a good deal or a bad deal for passengers? Let`s ask CBS News travel editor Peter Greenberg who joins us from Washington. Peter, good morning. PETER GREENBERG (CBS News Travel Editor): Good morning, Harry. HARRY SMITH: Well, you and I have been talking about this now for a couple of days. Overall, does this feel like a good thing? PETER GREENBERG: Well, they`ve been trying to merge United for a long time, about ten years. Now, this new airline is going to have ten hubs, it will fly to three hundred and seventy destinations over fifty-nine countries. It will take the third-largest carrier United, merge it with a fifth-largest carrier Continental, call it United, and it will become the largest carrier in the world. However, let me put this in prospective, Harry, the fact that it`s a largest carrier now doesn`t Page 141 For May 3, 2010, CBS CBS News Transcripts May 3, 2010 Monday mean it`s going to be the largest carrier. Every airline executive you will talk to will tell you the key to their survival lies in shrinking their airlines. So we`re going to see some cuts. HARRY SMITH: Yes. Shrinking and then merging and-- and marrying up with-- with other ones. What-- what do you think it`s going to mean to airfares? PETER GREENBERG: Well, you know, it`s the law of supply and demand. Right now they only compete on thirteen long-haul routes. But it`s the short-haul routes that`s make the difference here in smaller American communities. You take Bozeman, Montana, or Grand Rapids, Michigan, a number of other destinations where both airlines service those communities, you`re going to see a reduction in service. It is inevitable. HARRY SMITH: Reduction in service which will probably end up meaning an increase in-- in fares. What everybody were-- was asking around here, so what happens to frequent flyer miles? PETER GREENBERG: I`m shocked if someone would ask that question. Bottom line is this, initially nothing is going to happen because remember United and Continental already combine their frequent flyer programs because they`re both members of the Star Alliance. HARRY SMITH: Hmm. PETER GREENBERG: However, availability is the key here. And if you`ve got fewer flights and fewer seats that means fewer available frequent flyer awards. But, remember, this doesn`t kick in until at least the fourth quarter of this year. It`s got a lot of hurdles to get over before it happens. HARRY SMITH: Umm. The other question that`s interesting is years ago United had the kind of a sterling reputation. Continental was great, then it went into some bad times, it`s in better times now. You make a choice between United and Continental. What did you think of the choice of the name? PETER GREENBERG: Well, it`s interesting as well as confusing. It will be the United name, but the planes will be painted in Continental livery. It`s a little confusing. They have a new model called Let`s Fly Together. I guess they will be for a while. The bottom line is United doesn`t have a stellar service reputation in terms of customer service. This is the airline that intentionally disconnected its customer complaint phone lines. So they have got some work to do. HARRY SMITH: (LAUGHING) Okay. Peter Greenberg, thank you very much. PETER GREENBERG: You got it. HARRY SMITH: Up next, lashing out at Jay Leno for the first time. Conan O`Brien tells his side of the late night story wars-- war`s story that is what I`m trying to say. This is THE EARLY SHOW on CBS. (ANNOUNCEMENTS) HARRY SMITH: In his first interview since leaving NBC, Conan O`Brien compared the split to a marriage breaking up suddenly and violently. As for Jay Leno, well, listen to what O`Brien told 60 MINUTES` correspondent Steve Kroft. STEVE KROFT (60 MINUTES): Was in the back of your mind that look, if I don`t do that well, they can just pop Leno back in? CONAN O`BRIEN: I`m a paranoid person. I`m the kind of person that can come up with lots of negative scenarios. But I remembered thinking that seemed like a-- that was a stretch even for me. STEVE KROFT: You`ve got this non-disparagement agreement. CONAN O`BRIEN: Do you have a copy because I haven`t read it in awhile. I keep one-- STEVE KROFT: I have a copy somewhere in my bag? CONAN O`BRIEN: I keep one in my wallet. STEVE KROFT: You do? (Steve Kroft and Conan O`Brien laughing) CONAN O`BRIEN: Funny. STEVE KROFT: In the statement-- Page 142 For May 3, 2010, CBS CBS News Transcripts May 3, 2010 Monday

CONAN O`BRIEN: Anytime people come up to me, hey, so what`s the deal with-- with Jay Leno? Hold on a second. He`s a fine and good man. I have so many people say this to me, hey, partner, you got screwed. I don`t, and I always tell them, no, I didn`t. I didn`t get screwed. I`m-- I`m fine. It just-- it didn`t work out. STEVE KROFT: Most people think you got screwed. I mean, Jay Leno thinks you got screwed. Jay Leno thinks he got screwed. CONAN O`BRIEN: How did he get screwed? (LAUGHING) Explain that part to me. (LAUGHING) Jay`s got The To- night Show. I have a beard and an inflatable back. And I`m touring city to city. Who can say who won and who lost? (LAUGHING) I`m laughing because crying would be sad. STEVE KROFT: Has Jay reached out to you? CONAN O`BRIEN: No. STEVE KROFT: No calls? CONAN O`BRIEN: No. I do not-- I do not think I will be hearing from him. STEVE KROFT: Do you believe he acted honorably during all of this? CONAN O`BRIEN: (GASPING) I don`t-- I don`t think I can answer that. I can just tell you, maybe, how I would have handled it. And I would do it differently. STEVE KROFT: You wouldn`t have come back on The Tonight Show? CONAN O`BRIEN: Had I-- If I had surrendered The Tonight Show and handed it over to somebody publicly and wished them well and then, I don`t-- would not have come back a coup-- six months later. But that`s me. HARRY SMITH: Absolutely fascinating part of the inter-- interview where Conan says, you know, this-- the-- the Irish catholic in me believes things happen for a reason-- BETTY NGUYEN: Mm-Hm. HARRY SMITH: --and Kroft says I think that`s Lutheran. (Harry Smith and Chris Wragge laughing) BETTY NGUYEN: I found it interesting that Jay Leno-- HARRY SMITH (overlapping): And to finish the point-- and to finish the point he says I feel like this-- I`m where I ought to be. BETTY NGUYEN: Right. HARRY SMITH: Sorry. BETTY NGUYEN: Al-- although they haven`t spoken even after all of this you would think-- HARRY SMITH: Mm-Hm. BETTY NGUYEN: --they`re going to come across each other at some point in time. DAVE PRICE: Here`s the deal, you can`t forget. They`re very funny people. It`s a business. BETTY NGUYEN: Mm-Hm. DAVE PRICE: It`s a business. And there are winners and there are losers. And-- and that`s the stark reality in-- HARRY SMITH (overlapping): And there`s the godfather and people get killed. CHRIS WRAGGE: That was very diplomatic. (LAUGHTER) CHRIS WRAGGE: This is a-- (INDISTINCT) HARRY SMITH: We`ll be back right after this. (ANNOUNCEMENTS) Page 143 For May 3, 2010, CBS CBS News Transcripts May 3, 2010 Monday

HARRY SMITH: Wow. I tell you this morning when I woke up about four o`clock, looked out the window, the rain coming down, it was almost tropical. BETTY NGUYEN: I didn`t even hear the rain until I stepped outside and I thought, oh, no. Happy Monday, folks. HARRY SMITH: Ooh. Well, welcome back to THE EARLY SHOW. I`m Harry Smith along with Betty Nguyen. Mag- gie is off this morning. BETTY NGUYEN: It`s great to be here. Coming up, important information on how women can reduce their risk of getting uterine cancer and it could be as simple as a couple of cups of coffee every day. HARRY SMITH: Plus, we`re going to get an in-depth look at just why experts are so worried about the oil slick and its effect on wildlife along the Gulf of Mexico. We`re going to talk with animal expert Jeff Corwin in just a little bit. BETTY NGUYEN: But first, here`s Chris Wragge at the news desk this morning. Here you go, Chris. CHRIS WRAGGE: Betty and Harry, thank you. Good morning to you guys and good morning to you at home. At this time, it`s not believed Saturday`s attempted car bombing in New York`s Times Square is tied to any known terrorist organization. But authorities are looking for one possible suspect. CBS News Homeland Security Corresponded Bob Orr is in Washington with a very latest for us this morning. Bob, good morning. BOB ORR (CBS News Homeland Security Correspondent): Good morning, Chris. Well, no one`s yet been arrested, but investigators say they do have some strong leads. And you mentioned they`re looking for a person of interest spotted by a security camera in Midtown Manhattan. (Begin VT) BOB ORR: Investigators now are pressing a search for the man in this surveillance picture. A camera a half block away from the explosives-filled van captured these images of the man acting suspiciously around the same time smoke was seen coming from the vehicle. COMMISSIONER RAYMOND KELLY (New York City Police Department): We`re currently examining video that shows a white male in his forties in Shubert Alley looking back in the direction of West 45th Street. He also was seen shedding a dark-colored shirt, revealing a red one underneath. BOB ORR: Because the device did not explode and the car was not destroyed, police have a wealth of forensic evidence and investigators are using motor vehicle logs and toll booth records to track both the cars ownership history and recent movements. U.S. officials are brushing aside this claim reportedly from the Pakistani Taliban which says the attempted bombing was to avenge the recent deaths of key al Qaeda leaders. But this incident does bear some of the hallmarks of an Islamist terrorist operation. A high profile target crowded with potential victims, and it`s strikingly similar to this 2007 propane bomb attack at the Glasgow Scotland Airport. (End VT) BOB ORR: Now, we have to say there`s no solid evidence the New York and Glasgow attacks are connected, but Ho- meland Security now is increasing patrols at East Coast airports as a precaution. Also, officials say there`s no credible intelligence pointing to a wider threat and they don`t believe any other car bombs are in the pipeline out there, but with so many unknowns, nothing can be ruled out. Chris. CHRIS WRAGGE: CBS`s Bob Orr in Washington for us this morning. Bob, thank you. In India, in court today convicted the lone surviving gunman in the deadly terrorist attack in Mumbai. One hundred sixty-six people were killed during the three day siege in November of 08. Mohammad Ajmal Kasab, a Pakistani is accused of gunning down dozens at a train station. He`ll be sentenced tomorrow. India blames a Pakistani-based militant group for the attack. Billionaire Warren Buffett owns a five billion dollars stake in the investment bank Goldman Sachs. Now, this weekend he told his shareholders that he plans to keep his share of the company. CBS News Business & Economic Correspon- dent Rebecca Jarvis spoke with him, and join us now this morning. Rebecca. REBECCA JARVIS (CBS News Business & Economic Correspondent): Hey, good morning, Chris. And I caught up with Buffett at Berkshire Hathaway`s annual shareholder meeting where he drew a record crowd of forty thousand Page 144 For May 3, 2010, CBS CBS News Transcripts May 3, 2010 Monday people. What struck me most about America`s favorite investor was his unyielding optimism about the state of the economy. (Begin VT) WARREN BUFFETT (CEO, Berkshire Hathaway): Nothing is going to sink this country. If you want to bet against America, you are going to lose a lot of money. REBECCA JARVIS: Billionaire investor Warren Buffett`s been betting on America for almost five decades. In that time, the Berkshire Hathaway CEO has returned an average of twenty percent every year to his shareholders. Now twenty months after the near collapse of the U.S. economy, Buffett says most of his eighty businesses are hiring again, but the nation`s unemployment rate remains a very high 9.7%. WARREN BUFFETT: We`ve really come back pretty strong now. Unemployment comes back very slowly, but the American public was totally panicked by what happened in the fall of 2008. They were frozen in place. And it took a little while to get over that. And the government helped them get over that. REBECCA JARVIS: Buffett also remains supportive of banking giant Goldman Sachs even after revelations late last week of a criminal investigation into the firm`s investing practices. Take Goldman Sachs for example, one of your big investments-- WARREN BUFFETT: Right. REBECCA JARVIS: --five billion dollars, you have with that company. Do you still trust them? Do you think-- WARREN BUFFETT: Absolutely. REBECCA JARVIS: --do you think-- what will you do if America loses some trust in that company? WARREN BUFFETT: Well, they`ve lost some trust. I mean, that`s happened because of the news. REBECCA JARVIS: Yes. Do you ever recommendation for how Goldman Sachs could help restore that trust right now? WARREN BUFFETT: No. I-- my basic recommendation about any kind of problems, is get it right, get it fast, get it out, get it over. But that`s easier-- REBECCA JARVIS: So, what is getting it right? WARREN BUFFETT: That`s easier. REBECCA JARVIS: Yeah, that`s easier said than done. WARREN BUFFETT: All right. REBECCA JARVIS: Getting it right, does that mean maybe new management? WARREN BUFFETT: No. REBECCA JARVIS: Some kind of changes there? WARREN BUFFETT: It means getting the correct factual story out. (End VT) REBECCA JARVIS: We also touched on the financial reform that`s being debated in Congress right now and Buffett says it`s unclear whether the reforms could have prevented the financial crisis, but he believes it marks an important progress for this country. Chris. CHRIS WRAGGE: Getting it right. It sounds like a pretty good policy, Rebecca Jarvis. REBECCA JARVIS: Everyone would love to get it right. CHRIS WRAGGE: CBS News`s Rebecca Jarvis. Rebecca, thank you. REBECCA JARVIS: Thanks, Chris. CHRIS WRAGGE: All right. Here now is Katie Couric with a preview of tonight`s CBS EVENING NEWS. Page 145 For May 3, 2010, CBS CBS News Transcripts May 3, 2010 Monday

KATIE COURIC: Good morning. A heroic decision, thousands of feet in the air. Meet the Texas woman who was plummeting to the ground when her parachute didn`t deploy and the stranger who came to her rescue and lived to tell the tale. That`s Assignment America tonight only on the CBS EVENING NEWS. Now back to THE EARLY SHOW. CHRIS WRAGGE: And now, here is Dave Price with another check of the weather for us this morning. Hi, Dave. DAVE PRICE: Mister Wragge. Nice to see you. CHRIS WRAGGE: Thank you. DAVE PRICE: And nice to see you, too. Let`s go to the maps to see what`s happening. Take a look at the headlines this morning. A couple things going on in the corners. Number one, the Southeast of the United States seeing some heavy rain, part of that same system that brought the tornadoes and the rough weather to sections of the Gulf States just twenty-four hours ago. And in the Northwest were soggy. We`re also watching what`s happening in the Gulf right now. With these winds, still twenty to thirty miles per hour and waves at about eight to twelve feet, a rough go today again to try and contain that oil slick and arrest its progress towards the Gulf shores. In the meantime, though, let`s go to Atlanta right now. Take a look at what you can expect. More moisture rolling in your direction, an inch and a half or so expected today. Some of that could be severe. We`ll watch for damaging winds. We`ll take a break right now. We`ll go off the continental U.S. and we`ll go to Hawaii and Alaska where the Hawaiian Islands are going to see a nice mix of sun and clouds, temperatures in the seventies and eighties. And, as we head to Hawaii or-- excuse me Alaska, temps in the fifties through much of the state from Fairbanks to anchorage, all the way up to Barrow where we should see very pleasant conditions today. DAVE PRICE: That is a quick look at our national maps. Keep in mind, warm temperatures throughout much of the Northeast, seventy-one as we head to Chicago, and in the desert southwest, we are going to be nice and warm at about ninety degrees in places throughout the Arizona. That`s a quick look at out national maps. Here`s an early look at what`s going on in your area. (LOCAL WEATHER BREAK) DAVE PRICE: Seven minutes past the hour right now. And that is a look at the weather as we begin this eight o`clock hour. All right. Yep. HARRY SMITH: Thanks, Dave. Appreciate it. As the massive oil slick continues to approach the Gulf Coast shores, there is growing fear about the devastation it could cause to local wildlife and their habitats. CBS News special correspondent Jeff Corwin joins us with more now on that from Gulfport, Mississippi. Jeff, good morning. JEFF CORWIN (CBS News Special Contributor): Good morning, Harry. Of course, the people who live along the Gulf are no strangers to hurricanes. But what`s churning along these coasts is something vastly different. And the overall mood here is one of nervous anticipation as this community braces for the impact that could hit the local natural resources, which are, of course, are a hallmark to the region. (Begin VT) JEFF CORWIN: At first glance, all looks serene along the Gulf coastline. Rare terns nest in scrapes of sand. Black skimmers glide along the water in search of food. But just off shore, an unprecedented environmental catastrophe is drifting this way. ALISON SHARPE (Director, Wildlife Care and Rescue Center): It has the great potential for wiping out the entire population of least terns along our coast area. JEFF CORWIN: Twelve thousand least turns used to inhabit this Biloxi, Mississippi shores. Now, there are only two thousand. It only takes about twenty days for the eggs of the least tern to hatch. Then, another twenty days for the chicks to actually leave the nest which means right now is the most critical period in the life cycle of these birds when they`re most vulnerable. And it`s not just the least terns, it`s estimated that more than four hundred species would be impacted by this spill. DR. MOBI SOLANGI (DIR., Institute for Marine Mammal Studies): We have a-- a thirty-four tank- Page 146 For May 3, 2010, CBS CBS News Transcripts May 3, 2010 Monday

JEFF CORWIN: Doctor Mobi Solangi runs the Institute of Marine Mammal Studies in Gulfport. He is prepared to house and treat up to one hundred marine animals. For now, his tanks are empty, except for a lone dolphin from a previous rescue. JEFF CORWIN: If things stay on course and this oil spill hits the way it`s predicted to, how will this place be transformed? DR. MOBI SOLANGI: There are about three to five thousand dolphins that are from here to the mouth of the river. So if many of them start coming in, it`s going to be overwhelming. JEFF CORWIN: on Sunday, a rescue team from Doctor Solangi`s center recovered thirteen sea turtles that have washed ashore--an unusually high number. While scientists have yet to determine if oil caused their death, there`s concern that the turtles may be the first victims of this oil spill. The Exxon Valdez spill in 1989 left more than two hundred and fifty thousand animals dead. If this spill in the Gulf continues to flow at its current estimated rate, it would take only about six weeks to eclipse the Valdez spill. DR. MOBI SOLANGI: There was a finite quantity with the-the Valdez. They knew they had eleven million gallons, after that there was no more. Here, we don`t know. (End VT) JEFF CORWIN: Harry, the great challenge down here is--we don`t know exactly when or where or even if the oil is going to hit this region. But what we do know is that when it does, it could potentially have a devastating impact in the local wildlife down here. So scientists are really trying to grapple with the challenge to maintain these species and to come up with a plan to save these animals. HARRY SMITH: What happens to an animal if, for instance, it`s swimming through aba-- say for instance, we don`t know exactly what happened to those turtle. But if those turtles were swimming through that oil, what happens to them physically that would cause them to shut down and die? JEFF CORWIN: Excellent question. For example, let`s look at a dolphin. This is a marine mammal which means it breathes air. When it comes to the surface of the water, when his blow hole opens up, it`ll actually be breathing in oil and can actually drown on the oil it takes in to its lungs. Those birds that we featured in this piece, they are very rare animals. They are now only two thousand of these birds left. They also ironically feed in the waters where the oil is. HARRY SMITH: Mm-Hm. JEFF CORWIN: So when they go into that water, if they`re not immediately killed by the oil saturating their feathers, minimally they`ll take that oil and feed to their offspring. What we have here is the ultimate Pandora`s Box. And as this oil leaks out, and it invades this ecosystem, there`s really no way to get it out. HARRY SMITH: And you know you`re talking there on the piece about the Exxon Valdez. So some people have said well, you know, that was much heavier crude, so a little bit of a different situation. Is there a way to-to compare this and Exxon? JEFF CORWIN: Well, one comparison that we could make is that both of these spills could have a dramatic impact. With Valdez, it certainly had a powerful impact on that local ecosystem. But there are some big differences. For example, up in Valdez in Prince William Sound along the Alaska coastline, the waters were much deeper and the tides were far more rigorous and turbulent. And believe it or not, that actually had a positive impact on the overall spill. HARRY SMITH: Mm-Hm. JEFF CORWIN: Here what we have are much shallower waters Fand it tends to have more of a stagnant effect. So when that oil comes in, it`s here to stay. HARRY SMITH: Wow. Jeff Corwin, thank you very, very much for your expertise this morning. Do appreciate it, sir. Take care. JEFF CORWIN: Thanks, Harry. HARRY SMITH: Bye now. Up next, some important news about coffee and cancer, when we come back. Page 147 For May 3, 2010, CBS CBS News Transcripts May 3, 2010 Monday

(ANNOUNCEMENTS) BETTY NGUYEN: In this morning`s HealthWatch, coffee and uterine cancer. It`s the most common cancer affecting women`s reproductive organs. About forty-two thousand new cases were diagnosed last year and more than seven thousand women died. Now some good news: A new Mayo Clinic study says coffee can actually reduce your risk. Our Doc- tor Jennifer Ashton has the details on this. Good morning. DR. JENNIFER ASHTON (EARLY SHOW Medical Correspondent): Good morning, Betty. BETTY NGUYEN: You know, I`m not really a coffee drinker, but I may start drinking it now. How much of this do you have to drink to reduce your risk? DR. JENNIFER ASHTON: The study look at over twenty thousand women after menopause, found that those who consumed two-and-a-half cups of coffee per day had a significantly lower risk of uterine cancer. So, put another notch in the column of coffee`s benefits. BETTY NGUYEN: What is it specifically about coffee? DR. JENNIFER ASHTON: They`re-- they`re not sure. And, obviously, a lot more research needs to be done. Interes- tingly, this study did not find the same protective effect with other forms of caffeine, unfortunately, like chocolate or tea but it had-- it might have to do with in-- insulin levels or estrogen levels. It`s really not clear but again, mounting evidence that the benefits of caffeine outweigh the risks. BETTY NGUYEN: Well, who is most at risk when it comes to uterine cancer? DR. JENNIFER ASHTON: Well, generally, we say women who have high estrogen exposure, so those who might have a late menopause who are obese because we know, excess body fat is another source of estrogen production, some women with infertility problems. But again-- and-- and certainly women who have a-- a rare but hereditary form of a colon cancer, if you`re not sure whether you`re at high risk, absolutely you want to ask your gynecologist. BETTY NGUYEN: And uterine cancer is treatable. So, what are the symptoms when someone may be worried that perhaps they could have it? DR. JENNIFER ASHTON: The really the biggest one, Betty, is abnormal bleeding. Over the age of thirty-five, if you`re having abnormal bleeding or an increase in discharge, a change in urinary habits or pelvic pain or cramping, absolutely, you want to talk to your doctor. BETTY NGUYEN: And screening tests are out there, they are available? DR. JENNIFER ASHTON: Endometrial biopsy is really at a simple of this procedure, that`s usually, that`s the best screening test. But, it`s not widespread, so it`s really based on symptoms and risk factors. BETTY NGUYEN: All right, so two and half cups a day, I nee--- I need to start drinking up. DR. JENNIFER ASHTON: That`s right. I need my half and half of my coffee. BETTY NGUYEN: That`s true. We need to pump that up a little bit. But, besides drinking coffee, are there other things which we can do, as well? DR. JENNIFER ASHTON: So the important things to reduce your risk other than the obvious ones like watching your diet and exercise, actually birth control pills can lower your risk of uterine cancer and that risk protection is seen up to ten years after discontinuing birth control pills. Again, you want to balance the risk versus benefits of oral contracep- tives, but that`s a really good way. Breast feeding can lower the risk in the same way that pregnancy does because again it drops your estrogen levels. And again, diet and exercise very important. You want to keep your overall body weight down because estrogen and body fat are link. BETTY NGUYEN: Always can, you want to add two and half cups of this to that diet. DR. JENNIFER ASHTON: Not more because we know that too much caffeine can have its own benefits-- BETTY NGUYEN: True. Page 148 For May 3, 2010, CBS CBS News Transcripts May 3, 2010 Monday

DR. JENNIFER ASHTON: --I need my half and half of my coffee. BETTY NGUYEN: Drink up, all right. DR. JENNIFER ASHTON: (LAUGHING) Exactly. BETTY NGUYEN: Doctor Jennifer Ashton, thank you. And coming up in tomorrow`s HealthWatch, new information on birth control for women. We`ll be right back. This is THE EARLY SHOW on CBS. (ANNOUNCEMENTS) HARRY SMITH: Well, Michael Weatherly is here from the, okay, I guess marginally successful-- DAVE PRICE: What`s the name-- what`s the name of? HARRY SMITH: --yeah, yeah.

MICHAEL WEATHERLY: Maybe, the-- (Cross talking) HARRY SMITH: You know one of the great parts of the show is this-- this business here. BETTY NGUYEN: The slap. DAVE PRICE: The slap. HARRY SMITH: Right, right. MICHAEL WEATHERLY: You mean the bald spot? HARRY SMITH: No, no, no, no, no. And I would just-- if-- if you play Mark Harmon, I`ll play you-- MICHAEL WEATHERLY: Okay.

HARRY SMITH: It`s not this, it`s this. MICHAEL WEATHERLY: No, no. Do you know nicest thing-- HARRY SMITH (overlapping): How does it work? MICHAEL WEATHERLY: Well, the nicest thing about Mark is that besides the fact that he`s a very good actor is that he`s almost got the skills of a mime. Yes, he`ll come and he`ll just do that and they add a little sound effect. HARRY SMITH: I do it and I`ll react it. BETTY NGUYEN: The real deal. HARRY SMITH: Oh. BETTY NGUYEN: Oh, a little too quick, Harry. MICHAEL WEATHERLY: He anticipates it a little bit. HARRY SMITH: Yeah, I`ve-- Page 149 For May 3, 2010, CBS CBS News Transcripts May 3, 2010 Monday

BETTY NGUYEN: Let`s do one more timed, come on. MICHAEL WEATHERLY: This time we`ll just do. HARRY SMITH: Okay. Oh. MICHAEL WEATHERLY: Oh, I got you now. CHRIS WRAGGE: Hey, be careful. BETTY NGUYEN: I heard a little bit of a smack here. CHRIS WRAGGE: The host of the show. Welcome-- BETTY NGUYEN: Yeah, we need him for the rest of the hour. MICHAEL WEATHERLY: Oh man, there`s blood. There`s blood. DAVE PRICE: Welcome to NCISAM. MICHAEL WEATHERLY: Oh, oh. DAVE PRICE: Don`t get any ideas another-- MICHAEL WEATHERLY: Expand the brand-- expand the brand. HARRY SMITH: Big season finale coming up. We`re going to talk about with Michael when we come back. (LOCAL NEWS BREAK) HARRY SMITH: Let`s talk about weathering the storm. Amazing crowd out here this morning on a Monday. We got a lot of that cutie-- cutie folks here. DAVE PRICE: City University of New York. HARRY SMITH: Exactly right. CHRIS WRAGGE: It bet on it. BETTY NGUYEN: (INDISTINCT). Oh, Harry. HARRY SMITH: Welcome back to THE EARLY SHOW, everybody. Coming up, get ready NCIS fans, you remember this, who know this guy, right? Michael Weatherly, he`s going to stop by to talk about the wildly popular show. Now in its seventh season, highest ratings ever after seven years, imagine that. CHRIS WRAGGE: Did you see the sign that he brought? HARRY SMITH: I love waking up. Oh, yeah. He brought that. BETTY NGUYEN: Yes. HARRY SMITH: Or did you bring that? CHRIS WRAGGE: Yes, I`m kidding. That`s Sharon-- BETTY NGUYEN: And we`re going to show you how decorating cupcakes can be as easy as pie or a piece of cake. Either way, it can be creative and fun. BETTY NGUYEN: Look at that. Do you believe those are cupcakes? CHRIS WRAGGE: Look at that spread. BETTY NGUYEN: We`ll show you how to do that. I`m actually going to try my hand in it. Dave, I`m not so sure I`m going to be as good, but we`ll make a mess, no doubt. DAVE PRICE: You know, why don`t you do weather, because I`m going to just run and test out those cupcakes. BETTY NGUYEN: Go ahead. DAVE PRICE: Actually, we can wait and then get to that. Nice to see you, Betty, and nice to see you, everybody. Let`s take a check of the weather. See what`s happening all across the country. Shall we? Here we go to the maps. Batman. Page 150 For May 3, 2010, CBS CBS News Transcripts May 3, 2010 Monday

(Crowd cheering) DAVE PRICE: Looks like we`re talking about some more soggy weather from Seattle to Portland upwards of an inch of that today as a cold front begins to slip on through. That steady rain is going to be falling much of the day and into early tomorrow. The southeast is going to see some real trouble, too, the same system which caused all of that flooding in places like Tennessee and Arkansas and Mississippi. Now, moving eastward, so places like Atlanta, you could see some thundershowers rolling through and upwards of an inch and a half of rain today. That`s going to cause some delays at places like Hartsfield airport. Here in the northeast, well we saw torrential downpours earlier this morning, now a little bit of a break but I think we`re going to be dealing with this stuff through the Eastern Seaboard much of the day today. So you`re going to see some airport delays building as well. And around the Great Lakes, you`re going to see some shattered shower activity as well. Into tomorrow, we are going to slowly but surely see some clearing watch in Florida. You could see some storms and the northern Plain states are going to inherit much of the moisture in the Pacific North- west right now. Southwest looks good. That`s a quick look at the national maps. Here`s an early look at what`s going on in your area. (LOCAL WEATHER BREAK) DAVE PRICE: Hello to everyone in West Sunbury, Pennsylvania, this morning, so proud of your friends at Moniteau High School. Betty, inside to you. BETTY NGUYEN: All right. You`re single, you`re dating, but you`re not having much fun. So how do you get out of the relationship rut? Let`s ask Andrea Syrtash, author of He`s Just Not Your Type--and that`s a good thing. Also, with us this morning relationship expert, Ian Kerner. Good morning to you both. IAN KERNER (Relationship Expert): Hey, good morning. ANDREA SYRTASH (Author, He`s Just Not Your Type): Good morning. BETTY NGUYEN: All right, Andrea. Let`s get right into this because you say date a non-type. ANDREA SYRTASH: Yes. BETTY NGUYEN: What is that? ANDREA SYRTASH: So non-type is a guy who is not on your usual checklist of what you`re looking for. So if you usually go for extroverts, a non-type would be an introvert or if you say I would never date anyone long distance, your non-type may be across the country. Put simply, though, if you keep dating the same type of person my premise is quite easy, it`s you have to try something new because your match may be actually the one you haven`t tried dating yet. BETTY NGUYEN: Ian, do you agree because if he`s not what I want, why should-- IAN KERNER: Yeah. BETTY NGUYEN: --I shoot for that? IAN KERNER: Well, you know, I agree that it`s nice to expand your boundaries a little bit, but, you know, I think sometimes you hear the word type and you think, oh, bad boy or bad girl and you`re just dating the same person over and over again. But I want to say that sometimes having the type is a good thing. BETTY NGUYEN: Mm-Hm. IAN KERNER: It`s sort of the person that you`re kind of usually attr-- the type you are usually attracted to, the type you usually-- BETTY NGUYEN: All right. IAN KERNER: --attracted to, the type whom you share values with, maybe a similar lifestyle. So, I think having a type and seeking out your type sometimes can be a really positive thing. BETTY NGUYEN: Yeah. That`s true. Okay. But some will argue, though, Andrea. Look, you`re asking people to just settle. Settle for what they don`t really want. Page 151 For May 3, 2010, CBS CBS News Transcripts May 3, 2010 Monday

ANDREA SYRTASH: Absolutely not. Actually, I`ve dedicated the book to women who should never feel like they have to settle when they settle down. I think we`re settling actually when we`re looking or just checking off superficial, you know, boxes on a checklist. And to your point, Ian, I think it`s absolutely about core values an important criteria-- BETTY NGUYEN: Mm-Hm. ANDREA SYRTASH: --but sometimes we`re so focused on the paper checklist, we miss our match because of that. IAN KERNER: Yeah. ANDREA SYRTASH: So that`s really the-- the heart of my book. BETTY NGUYEN: Do you agree that it may be possibly settling or should you reconsider what you`re looking for? IAN KERNER: Well, I-- I think it`s a little of both. I mean, I think the reality of the dating world today is it`s very hard, especially for single women. I mean, I meat, you know, confident, attractive, educated, successful, single women all the time who just, you know, they really want- - they would love to meet their type-- BETTY NGUYEN: Mm-Hm. IAN KERNER: --and-- and they`re not. And so they do need to change their approach. And they do need to change their philosophy. On the other hand, you can`t just change your type out of pressure because then you are just settling, you know. So I think, you know, it`s kind of getting out of that headspace of pressure. ANDREA SYRTASH: And when I talk to my girlfriends, a lot of them say, oh, I want him to be funny, I want him to be kind. BETTY NGUYEN: But a lot of them will be very truthful. He has to be good looking. IAN KERNER: Right. BETTY NGUYEN: He`s got to be successful. ANDREA SYRTASH: Yes. BETTY NGUYEN: Andrea, you say forget about it. Don`t even go down that road. ANDREA SYRTASH: Well, definitely, you should be attracted to the person. And I want to qualify something. If you`re ignored by the person or turned off by the person, don`t-- don`t date that person. BETTY NGUYEN: Mm-Hm. ANDREA SYRTASH: But I`m simply saying that it has to transcend those-- those things--tall, dark, rich, handsome. Those are great things, but if you don`t have more than that, you may actually wake up in an unfulfilling relationship. IAN KERNER: Yeah. On the other hand, you really have to look at where do you share values. I mean, you know, if-- if you have material goals and you`re dating a starving artist type, it might not end up, you know, working out in the long run. I mean, let`s be honest. Most divorces in this country, the number one reason for divorce are financial issues. So it is important to really be aligned around some of those core values like money. You know, if you don`t feel that click of chemistry, that click of attraction, you know, that might be a bad thing because you know-- BETTY NGUYEN: I don`t think so. IAN KERNER: --I know it`s-- I know-- I know with my wife-- BETTY NGUYEN: Right. IAN KERNER: --if she didn`t have that little click of attraction like-- BETTY NGUYEN: What`s there? IAN KERNER: --she would have been out of there a lot-- a lot long time ago. ANDREA SYRTASH: But here`s a thing about money. I think it`s not that the guy has money. It`s how he is with money that we should be looking at. BETTY NGUYEN: Mm. Page 152 For May 3, 2010, CBS CBS News Transcripts May 3, 2010 Monday

ANDREA SYRTASH: And looks and money are the most dynamic factors that we can invest in. So there`s no saying if you meet a guy with a great job who looks a certain way that that will withstand the test of time. So what I`m simply saying is definitely check off those boxes that your values are aligned and that-- IAN KERNER: Yeah. ANDREA SYRTASH: --you`re attracted, but it has to go deeper than-- than that. BETTY NGUYEN: Gotta. A lot of women grow up with that fairytale, that prince charming, who has absolutely everything. IAN KERNER: Yeah. BETTY NGUYEN: So as we listen to this, what should be the new checklist? ANDREA SYRTASH: Yes. Well, I came up with a number of checklists in the book to help guide women towards their match. So by all means, I think checklists are great. One of the checklists I came up with is called the four essential ingredients and that is--is the person a good partner, lover, companion and friend? BETTY NGUYEN: Mm. ANDREA SYRTASH: And I think if you can check off-- BETTY NGUYEN: I didn`t hear looks or money anywhere in there. ANDREA SYRTASH: --it`s not in there. And bonus points, if you-- if you get that-- IAN KERNER: Yeah. BETTY NGUYEN: If you get that. (LAUGHING) IAN KERNER: Yeah. ANDREA SYRTASH: --but I think if you have those four ingredients, you`re already on your way to a successful relationship. IAN KERNER: And I-- I would just add to that humor-- ANDREA SYRTASH: Mm-Hm. IAN KERNER: --like really being able to laugh your way out of a situation. Humor is essential. IAN KERNER: I think also having a balancing personality like my wife and I, we don`t stress about the same things, so I can sort of bring her down when she`s getting a little tense and she can do the same with me, so just having balancing personalities. BETTY NGUYEN: Ian, let me ask you this. A lot of women kind of get into this rut in the sense of that`s who I`m looking for, it`s hard for me to break out of that because that`s what I`m attracted to. So, how do you change that? IAN KERNER: Well, you know, Socrates said, "An unexamined life is not worth living." And I think an unexamined relationship is not worth reliving. And so if you are single, if you are between relationships, I think, getting a book like Andrea is that-- that has some of these checklists, that sort of helps you to look in the mirror and break some of those patterns is important. And the other thing is we all get lonely. We all want to be in relationships. And you can`t act out of that just that-- that feeling of loneliness. ANDREA SYRTASG: Yeah. BETTY NGUYEN: Learn from your mistakes is possibly true. ANDREA SYRTASG: Learn from your mistakes, know your dating pattern. If you`re dating like for a movie, what would it be called? How would it begin and end? What characters do they play? BETTY NGUYEN: Hopefully it`s not a horror movie. (Ian Kerner laughing) ANDREA SYRTASG: (LAUGHING) Hopefully it`s a romance. Page 153 For May 3, 2010, CBS CBS News Transcripts May 3, 2010 Monday

BETTY NGUYEN: Ian, thank you so much-- IAN KERNER: You`re welcome. Thank you. BETTY NGUYEN: -yeah, hopefully it is a romance. Harry, over to you. HARRY SMITH: All right, Betty, thanks. With a weekly average of more than twenty million viewers, NCIS is the number one scripted show on television. Michael Weatherly stars as the charming yet romantically challenged Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo. (Excerpt from NCIS) HARRY SMITH: Ooh. And Michael Weatherly is with us. Good morning. MICHAEL WEATHERLY (NCIS): Good morning, Harry. How are you? HARRY SMITH: So-- are the beginnings of a change, you-- because you are the perpetual frat boy in this-- in this show. MICHAEL WEATHERLY: (LAUGHING) It`s true. HARRY SMITH: Is there a little bit of maturing that you`re on the cusp of? MICHAEL WEATHERLY: I-- I hope not. (Harry Smith laughing) MICHAEL WEATHERLY: Because I have far too much fun going to work everyday and playing Mister-- Mister Di- Nozzo. HARRY SMITH: Yeah. MICHAEL WEATHERLY: Um-- and we were just talking, it`s been about-- it`s been about seventy-two hours since I-- I took off my-- my badge. HARRY SMITH: Right. MICHAEL WEATHERLY: And we`ve entered what we call Hiatus, which is where we have our little summer break and-- HARRY SMITH: You must be so happy. MICHAEL WEATHERLY: --I haven`t shaved-- HARRY SMITH: Yeah. Look at that. MICHAEL WEATHERLY: --and so I`m-- I`m truly relaxing-- HARRY SMITH: All right. MICHAEL WEATHERLY: --right before your eyes, America. HARRY SMITH: Right. MICHAEL WEATHERLY: But it is-- you know, it is essential, I think to the show, take All in the Family, another-- another great show, but-- HARRY SMITH: A classic? MICHAEL WEATHERLY: --a classic. Meathead comes down the stairs. HARRY SMITH: Mm-Hm. MICHAEL WEATHERLY: Right, Rob Reiner. HARRY SMITH: Yes. MICHAEL WEATHERLY: Now, you don`t want Rob Reiner to become more politically centralized or moderate, you know-- Page 154 For May 3, 2010, CBS CBS News Transcripts May 3, 2010 Monday

HARRY SMITH: No. MICHAEL WEATHERLY: --he has to be the lefty, so that Archie can be the-- HARRY SMITH: And we need that expectation of that kind of bad boy behavior from you if-- if you know-- MICHAEL WEATHERLY: Yeah. HARRY SMITH: --exactly right. MICHAEL WEATHERLY: You know, that`s the-- those are the rules of television, Harry. (LAUGHING) HARRY SMITH: Actually, they don`t-- they don`t change too much overtime. How gratifying is it to you-- here`re you guys on your seven season. MICHAEL WEATHERLY: Hm. HARRY SMITH: The show did well, you know, out of the box, but has grown every single year since. And now, in year seven, for it to be the most successful scripted show on TV-- MICHAEL WEATHERLY: Mm-Hm. HARRY SMITH: --what`s it like to be in the middle of all of that? MICHAEL WEATHERLY: I`m pretty sure that this is some kind of lucid dream-- (Harry Smith laughing) MICHAEL WEATHERLY: --and then I`m going to wake up and we`ll be in the middle of season two. (Harry Smith laughing) MICHAEL WEATHERLY: You know, it`s very strange to write that-- in the sense of accomplishment and-- and-- and everything, it-- it`s much more gratifying to come, I think, in season seven and right out of the gate where-- HARRY SMITH: Right. MICHAEL WEATHERLY: --you know the heat of a show and all of that. And luckily we`ve got David McCallum who has been in everything-- HARRY SMITH: Great cast. Yeah. MICHAEL WEATHERLY: --from Billy Budd and The Man from U.N.C.L.E.-- HARRY SMITH: Right. MICHAEL WEATHERLY: --and everything else. Harmon is a KG veteran-- HARRY SMITH: KG veteran. Yeah. MICHAEL WEATHERLY: --and we get this great group with Polly Pratt and Cote de Pablo and Sean Murray and Brian Dietzen. HARRY SMITH: I like-- there is-- I love the camaraderie on the cast and I love the sort of ethos of the show, which you don`t trust the man and you know, you`re going to get it done no matter what-- MICHAEL WEATHERLY: Right. HARRY SMITH: --despite the bureaucracy and all of that. MICHAEL WEATHERLY: I tried to get out of a speeding ticket recently. I said, "You know, I`m just driving like Gibbs." And the officer said "Who`s Gibbs?" And I said, "You know, on the TV show NCIS because my hat ready on the passenger seat-- HARRY SMITH: Yeah. MICHAEL WEATHERLY: --was ready to sign the hat. Maybe the CHP officer--no, Harry. HARRY SMITH: You found the one guy who doesn`t touch or watch the show? Page 155 For May 3, 2010, CBS CBS News Transcripts May 3, 2010 Monday

MICHAEL WEATHERLY: No, law enforcement in California is not impressed with- - HARRY SMITH: And it doesn`t have-- not lacks a sense of humor, perhaps. MICHAEL WEATHERLY: No, no. He was very funny. (Harry Smith and Michael Weatherly laughing) HARRY SMITH: Speaking of funny, well, maybe it`s not funny. We have opportunity here. You`re saying, and there`s this-- no, let`s hear it. It was-- ("Bitter and Blue" playing in the studio) MICHAEL WEATHERLY: Oh, no. HARRY SMITH: Because there is N-- MICHAEL WEATHERLY: Have you been talking to my mom? HARRY SMITH: there is an NCIS CD available from the soundtrack of the show and there with Nora Jones and some of the other major artists. MICHAEL WEATHERLY: That`s right. HARRY SMITH: You sang, also. MICHAEL WEATHERLY: Well, you know, when I first moved to New York twenty years ago to become an actor, I-- I got fired very quickly from three different restaurant jobs. I thought you could make a cappuccino by just putting whipped cream on coffee-- HARRY SMITH: Yeah. MICHAEL WEATHERLY: --with, you know, maybe a swizzle stick. HARRY SMITH: Right. MICHAEL WEATHERLY: And so with really all sources of income depleted, I took my guitar and went down to the subway and started playing Didi`s. HARRY SMITH: Right. MICHAEL WEATHERLY: And I found that was great because a train would come every fifteen to thirty seconds. (Harry Smith laughing) MICHAEL WEATHERLY: So you didn`t have to be that good for that long, you know, just the chorus. HARRY SMITH: Just so long as you keep banging out the chorus. MICHAEL WEATHERLY: Yeah. I mean, you know, I`d make fifteen, twenty dollars and then I could eat. HARRY SMITH: There you go. Michael, great to see you. Continued good luck on the show. MICHAEL WEATHERLY: Thank you. HARRY SMITH: Really appreciate it. Enjoy your summer vacation. MICHAEL WEATHERLY: I am looking forward to it, Harry, thanks. HARRY SMITH: And you can see the new episode of NCIS tomorrow night at eight-seven Central (INDISTINCT) season finale right here on CBS. Betty. BETTY NGUYEN: Boy, do we have a treat for you. Everyone loves cupcakes. And decorating them can be almost as much fun as eating them. I`ll have to test that out. Karen Tack and Alan Richardson are the authors of What`s New Cupcake? and they`re here with some great creative tips. Good morning to you both. KAREN TACK: Good morning. ALAN RICHARDSON: Hey, good morning, Betty. Page 156 For May 3, 2010, CBS CBS News Transcripts May 3, 2010 Monday

BETTY NGUYEN: Okay. So when I take a look at these cupcakes, it seems almost impossible for someone like me to be able to make this, but you say it`s as easy as pies or a cupcake. KAREN TACK: So easy. ALAN RICHARDSON: So easy. KAREN TACK: We`re just using simple ingredients that you can find at a grocery store or convenience store, cookies and candies that you`re really already familiar with. ALAN RICHARDSON: We like going right into the pantry and grabbing things that we`re already having, like this first one over here-- BETTY NGUYEN: Hm. ALAN RICHARDSON: --that we`re showing you. BETTY NGUYEN: Looks like a flower. ALAN RICHARDSON: It`s just a marshmallow. KAREN TACK: Marshmallow. ALAN RICHARDSON: It`s just some marshmallow. BETTY NGUYEN: That`s what these are right here. ALAN RICHARDSON: Yeah. KAREN TACK: Exactly. And we just snip them in half on the diagonal. BETTY NGUYEN: Okay. ALAN RICHARDSON: Right. Toss them in sugar KAREN TACK: And just toss them in sugar. BETTY NGUYEN: I can do that. ALAN RICHARDSON: Now we`re going to show you something fun. KAREN TACK: Yep. ALAN RICHARDSON: Right. You want to make your own colored sugar you don`t have any at home, Betty? BETTY NGUYEN: No. Sure I don`t. ALAN RICHARDSON: So, that`s sure, I don`t. (Cross talking) BETTY NGUYEN: No, I don`t. ALAN RICHARDSON: Put a few drops in there, right. KAREN TACK: In a Ziploc bag. Just make sure that you-- BETTY NGUYEN: Just a few drops, that`s all you need. KAREN TACK: Right. God, it`s easy. ALAN RICHARDSON: Isn`t that amazing? BETTY NGUYEN: That`s almost fool-proof. KAREN TACK: Look how pretty that is. And then-- BETTY NGUYEN: And that`s what you dipped these little marshmallows into this. You can do with coconut. ALAN RICHARDSON: Exactly.

BETTY NGUYEN: All right. Now we`ve gone from that to these whales over- we`ll get to what exactly this whale is made up-- KAREN TACK: Ah-Ha. BETTY NGUYEN: --but I`m fascinated by the Chinese takeout over here. How did you do that? KAREN TACK: This is so easy. ALAN RICHARDSON: It`s so easy. KAREN TACK: Oh, so you are here. HARRY SMITH: Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. KAREN TACK: Okay. (LAUGHING) HARRY SMITH: Those whales are amazing. KAREN TACK: Aren`t they? HARRY SMITH: What are the whales made of? ALAN RICHARDSON: It`s a Twinkie. HARRY SMITH: It`s a Twinkie. ALAN RICHARDSON: Right. KAREN TACK: Yeah. That was a big reveal here. That`s okay. KAREN TACK: Anyway, we`ve got some vanilla frosting that we tinted with a little coco powder. ALAN RICHARDSON: We got your-- KAREN TACK: A little chocolate frosting-- HARRY SMITH: Right. ALAN RICHARDSON: And just go all of it. KAREN TACK: --in a Ziploc bag. You`re going to-- BETTY NGUYEN: Let`s make a little low mein noodles, is everything here? (Cross talking) BETTY NGUYEN: No any particular pattern or anything. ALAN RICHARDSON: No, whatever you want to do. And you notice this got two colors. KAREN TACK: Cover the whole top. BETTY NGUYEN: It does. Is that with the chocolate on the outside? ALAN RICHARDSON: That`s a chocolate on the outside. We smeared it on the outside of the bag and as the frosting pipes out-- BETTY NGUYEN: Beautiful. ALAN RICHARDSON: --it gives you two colors like soy sauce. KAREN TACK: Beautiful. BETTY NGUYEN: You are always-- KAREN TACK: Let-- let me show you how to make this broccoli. BETTY NGUYEN: Is that too many noodles or we nice? KAREN TACK: That`s perfect. Page 158 For May 3, 2010, CBS CBS News Transcripts May 3, 2010 Monday

ALAN RICHARDSON: No, that`s perfect. HARRY SMITH: This is major fun. KAREN TACK: Uh-Ha. BETTY NGUYEN: Oh yes. HARRY SMITH: I could do this for hours. (Karen Tack and Betty Nguyen laughing) ALAN RICHARDSON: Now, watch how he`s doing the frosting. KAREN TACK: So for the broccoli, we`ve got a green fruit chew we`re simply slicing it in half--length wise. Just in half-- BETTY NGUYEN: Split it apart. KAREN TACK: Split it apart. I`ve got some green frosting. Now frost in tinted green. BETTY NGUYEN: So that`s your adhesive? KAREN TACK: Yeah. And we`re going to just pipe a dollop on either end. And then I`ve got these cute little green sprinkles here. BETTY NGUYEN: That is so creative. KAREN TACK: We`re going to toss that and you`ve got your broccoli. BETTY NGUYEN: Let me put that on. KAREN TACK: Okay. BETTY NGUYEN: Oh, was I supposed to do this? KAREN TACK: No, no. ALAN RICHARDSON: No, here make another one. KAREN TACK: That`s great. Thank you. BETTY NGUYEN: I think I can handle that. ALAN RICHARDSON: And you see right down in here you got the rest of your lo mein. We`ve got scallions cup-- BETTY NGUYEN: And what are the-- and what are the carrots made of? ALAN RICHARDSON: The carrots are tootsie fruit chews cut into little lines. KAREN TACK: Okay. That`s going to be-- BETTY NGUYEN: So in a way this is just a big candy-filled cupcake. KAREN TACK: Do you want some broccoli? ALAN RICHARDSON: We call them candy cupcakes. BETTY NGUYEN: That`s true. And what is this? HARRY SMITH: Check that out. KAREN TACK: Alan, look at this-- ALAN RICHARDSON: Oh, my gosh, look at that. BETTY NGUYEN: Harry, that looks like soft serve ice cream over there. ALAN RICHARDSON: Now, I want to show you guys a couple of other fun things. BETTY NGUYEN: Mm-Hm. Page 159 For May 3, 2010, CBS CBS News Transcripts May 3, 2010 Monday

ALAN RICHARDSON: Do you remember these? HARRY SMITH: Oh, yeah. I love those Circus Peanuts. KAREN TACK: Right. ALAN RICHARDSON: And they`re fresh. Oh, my gosh-- KAREN TACK: They`re delicious. ALAN RICHARDSON: --they`re delicious. But we snip them in half and cut them into fins in the body. KAREN TACK: Right. BETTY NGUYEN: Is that a fi-- what is that, a gold fish? ALAN RICHARDSON: A goldfish. KAREN TACK: Yeah. BETTY NGUYEN: And was that cereal that you`re using it for the mouth. KAREN TACK: A cereal mouth. ALAN RICHARDSON: Yeah. KAREN TACK: It`s a little M and Ms for the eyes. HARRY SMITH: Put this down so they can see it. KAREN TACK: Okay. BETTY NGUYEN: All it takes is a little bit of imagination there. KAREN TACK: Right. ALAN RICHARDSON: Exactly. KAREN TACK: And just you know, we-- as we say to people put your candy detective hat on. So it`s like there`s all these candies that you can use and make these wonderful things. HARRY SMITH: So what did you-- did you split this? BETTY NGUYEN: Split it in half. KAREN TACK: I-- I snipped it in half, and then opened it up, put a little bit of frosting-- HARRY SMITH: Right. KAREN TACK: --and then dipped it into the green sprinkles with broccoli. BETTY NGUYEN: Looks just like a piece of broccoli. KAREN TACK: And then for the scallions, we`ve got the green Twizler. HARRY SMITH: Mm-Hm. KAREN TACK: Just slice that and you`ve got some scallions. BETTY NGUYEN: So, what is this? ALAN RICHARDSON: This is also a fruit chew. KAREN TACK: A pink fruit chew for our pork. BETTY NGUYEN: Oh this is the pork? KAREN TACK: The roast pork. ALAN RICHARDSON: Let me show you one other surprise--this is a Kraft Caramel, that we`ve combined three together rolled it out, cut it with a clip-- Page 160 For May 3, 2010, CBS CBS News Transcripts May 3, 2010 Monday

KAREN TACK: Cut into a circle. BETTY NGUYEN: We made you a fortune cookie. ALAN RICHARDSON: And made fortune cookies. Isn`t that amazing? HARRY SMITH: Wonderful. KAREN TACK: That fortune in the center-- BETTY NGUYEN: That is a-- let me see what my fortune is. KAREN TACK: --bring up the sides like a taco. BETTY NGUYEN: --Happy Mothers Day from the EARLY SHOW. It`s a little early, though, right? HARRY SMITH: Now, who`s-- where did the ideas come from? Because, quite honestly, the-- all of this is just so creative and so gorgeous. KAREN TACK: Well, sometimes it comes from the candy, but we`re-- we discuss things back and forth and it`s like what you can do for Mother`s Day. BETTY NGUYEN: Great. KAREN TACK: --these flowers were really, originally the-- the ears from our dogs in the first book, Hello Cupcake, and it just kind of evolves. BETTY NGUYEN: And look, is that a duck? HARRY SMITH: Look at this. KAREN TACK: It`s a duck. HARRY SMITH: Quack. BETTY NGUYEN: Made out of what? KAREN TACK: Simply, the (INDISTINCT) is a doughnut hole-- BETTY NGUYEN: A doughnut hole. KAREN TACK: --and half of a marshmallow. HARRY SMITH: Can you see this? Hold that. KAREN TACK: And then-- BETTY NGUYEN: That is so creative. HARRY SMITH: That`s a coolest you`ve ever seen. BETTY NGUYEN: Yeah. Yeah. HARRY SMITH: Doughnut hole, marshmallow. KAREN TACK: Yep and we`ve taken a can frosting, heat it in the microwave once it`s tinted your duck color-- HARRY SMITH: Mm-Hm. KAREN TACK: --and then we dip our structure in there to coat it. So that`s what gives you that great coating. BETTY NGUYEN: It`s easy as it looks. ALAN RICHARDSON: It`s like that chocolate bonnet thing together with an ice-cream cone that you get in the summer. KAREN TACK: So easy. BETTY NGUYEN: Right. HARRY SMITH: Wow. Page 161 For May 3, 2010, CBS CBS News Transcripts May 3, 2010 Monday

BETTY NGUYEN: And it`s a stuff that you can easily find either in your house, down at the store. KAREN TACK: Right. BETTY NGUYEN: And you`re not using anything that`s out of the ordinary. ALAN RICHARDSON: We try not to. We think that`s the secret. HARRY SMITH: Look at that-- look at this-- apple stuff there. BETTY NGUYEN: Those are beautiful. KAREN TACK: And that`s simply a doughnut underneath the frosting and just rolled in sugar. HARRY SMITH: This may be one of the coolest segments ever, right? BETTY NGUYEN: Mm-Hm. (Karen Tack laughing) HARRY SMITH: A very cool stuff. BETTY NGUYEN: I am impressed. Hey, look. Not too bad, right? HARRY SMITH: Look at that. KAREN TACK: There you go. You put it in a little Chinese food container and you`ve got the mermaid. BETTY NGUYEN: Some of my Asian roots what can I tell you? ALAN RICHARDSON: Yeah, your first try, you got it. BETTY NGUYEN: Karen, Alan, thank you so much for your time today. ALAN RICHARDSON: Thank you. KAREN TACK: Thank you. BETTY NGUYEN: And more cupcake decorating tips. All you have to do is go to our website, earlyshow.cbsnews.com. We`ll be right back. You`re watching the CBS EARLY SHOW. (ANNOUNCEMENTS) HARRY SMITH: I may have found the golf course I can seriously score on. (Chris Wragge, Dave Price, and Betty Nguyen laughing) CHRIS WRAGGE: Although your shots normally would end up in the water. (Harry Smith and Betty Nguyen laughing) DAVE PRICE: All right. So you`re going to put that in instead a lawn? HARRY SMITH: Yeah, very nice-- BETTY NGUYEN: That is-- it`s so creative. HARRY SMITH: It`s just stunning. BETTY NGUYEN: Yeah. HARRY SMITH: Really, really cool stuff. BETTY NGUYEN: You impressed? HARRY SMITH: That was yours, you made that yourself. BETTY NGUYEN: I did pretty well, didn`t I? HARRY SMITH: Yeah. I`m very impressed. Page 162 For May 3, 2010, CBS CBS News Transcripts May 3, 2010 Monday

BETTY NGUYEN: If only the broccoli was as healthy as it should be. But it`s, you know, what? Candy? HARRY SMITH: Yeah. CHRIS WRAGGE: A basket of apples. BETTY NGUYEN: Beautiful. HARRY SMITH: It`s just-- I`m amazed at people who can just close their eyes and say I`m going to make something nobody`s thought of before because I`ve never seen anything like any of this. BETTY NGUYEN: And you use doughnut holes and Twinkies, and you know, candy for broccoli who would have thought? CHRIS WRAGGE: And the great part about all of this is that it`s all diet. BETTY NGUYEN: Exact-- that`s what I was saying. If only the broccoli had the right nutritional value. CHRIS WRAGGE: None of this-- DAVE PRICE: Nobel committee has not recognized these people before-- HARRY SMITH: I wonder. DAVE PRICE: --it`s criminal. HARRY SMITH: Yeah, screening for cupcakes decorator. CHRIS WRAGGE: Who doesn`t love cupcakes, right? HARRY SMITH: Hey, have a great day, everybody. Your local news is next.

HIGHLIGHT: A newly released BP document shows a worst case estimate of 100,000 barrels of leaking oil a day, far higher than previous estimates.

RUSS MITCHELL, CBS NEWS ANCHOR: Tonight on day 62 of the disaster in the Gulf, a newly released BP document shows a worst case estimate of 100,000 barrels of leaking oil a day, far higher than previous estimates. I`m Russ Mitchell. Also tonight, icon of protest, a year after her death shocked the world. The new documentary shows the woman who became a symbol of the protest movement in Iran. Bright idea. The race is on to greater replacement for the energy wasting incandescent light bulb. And veteran fathers. Two American soldiers scarred by war and the healing lessons they have learned from having children. MITCHELL: Good evening, we begin tonight once again with the Gulf oil spill. This is day 62, and it`s been another day of strong charges brought against BP followed by denials from the company. Here`s the latest. Drilling crews continue to build relief wells to try to stop the massive leak. The White House responds again to BP Chief Tony Hayward`s day on his yacht, and a U.S. congressman releases a document that he says shows BP was either lying or grossly incompetent. Our coverage begins this evening with Don Teague in Venice, Louisiana. Don, good evening. DON TEAGUE, CBS NEWS CORRESPONDENT: Good evening, Russ. It`s another lost week here in Venice. Most of the fishing boats remain docked and the oil in the Gulf continues to flow. (BEGIN VIDEOTAPE) TEAGUE (voice-over): How much oil is leaking from BP`s blown-out well? Over the past two months, the estimates have constantly changed, from 1,000 barrels a day to 5,000, then 12 to 19,000, 20,000 to 40,000, now 35,000 to 60,000 barrels. All the while, according to an internal company document released by Congressman Ed Markey, BP knew the worst case number could be 100,000 barrel as day. That`s 4.2 million gallons of oil, an Exxon Valdez every two-and-a-half days. DEANO BONANO, RESIDENT, GRAND ISLE, LOUISIANA: It is our way of life and you cannot place a dollar value. Page 164 For June 20, 2010, CBS CBS News Transcripts June 20, 2010 Sunday

TEAGUE: Before leaving to watch his yacht race in Europe this weekend, BP Chief Tony Hayward told Congress the leaking reservoir contains 2 billion gallons of oil. As for the yacht race, the White House is unimpressed. RAHM EMANUEL, WHITE HOUSE CHIEF OF STAFF: Well, as to quote Tony Hayward, he has got his life back, as he would say. TEAGUE: Out in the Gulf of Mexico, crew members drilling one of two relief wells designed to finally stop the oil know how important their job is. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Our livelihood depends on stopping this leak. TEAGUE: In the meantime, the economic and environmental toll continues to rise. Fishing boats sitting idle, beaches and bays barricaded, and fish and wildlife dying or like these brown pelicans, rescued, cleaned and relocated to Texas to be set free. DAN MULCAHY, U.S. FISH AND WILDLIFE: We know the habitat suitable for them and they should be quite comfortable. (END VIDEOTAPE) TEAGUE: Well, despite a 10-hour shutdown of the containment system yesterday, it is back up and running and the coast guard says it is still improving. In fact, BP expects to be capturing most of the oil they say is leaking from that well by the end of this month -- Russ. MITCHELL: Don Teague in Venice, Louisiana, thank you very much. And as Don pointed out, concern about the oil slick and its economic impact is growing in Gulf Coast areas far to the east of the leaking well. Cynthia Bowers is in Destin, Florida tonight with the latest on that. Cynthia, good evening to you. CYNTHIA BOWERS, CBS NEWS CORRESPONDENT: Good evening, Russ. Folks along the Florida panhandle here have seen a few tar balls wash up emphasis on few and the message here in Destin is the water is clean. Their sugar sand beaches are clean and open for business. (BEGIN VIDEOTAPE) BOWERS (voice-over): Crowds of vacationers were out enjoying fun and sun along the lovely Gulf Coast near Destin today, but behind the scenes, officials are working frantically to ward off what they fear is an economic disaster. DENNIS MCKINNON, TOURISM COMMISSION ESCAMBIA COUNTY: The perception that everybody has is that, you know, on no way am I going down to the beaches of Florida right now, because if I get in the water, I`m going to get this tar all over me. It just didn`t happen today. BOWERS: Or for the next few days, according to the coast guard, which is out patrolling three miles offshore with skimmers and cleaning vessels but finding nothing significant. ROGER DOW, U.S. TRAVEL ASSOCIATION: We have a crisis of reality of what is actually going on with oil, but probably even more damaging potentially, is the crisis of perception. BOWERS: Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama, are already taking a hit, due to reduced tourism, but with its 770 miles of Gulf coastline, Florida stands to lose the most, which is why the state is running ads like this one. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Crystal clear waters and a great beach vacation. BOWERS: Just a 10 percent decline in tourism related business, and Florida`s 23 Gulf shore counties could cost the sunshine state $2.2 billion in revenue. DUFFY PEOPLES, AIR BRUSH ARTIST: I think everybody in the area is nervous. You know, we have -- our livelihood depends on tourism. BOWERS: For ten years now, Duffy Peoples has air brushed t-shirts at this Destin area beach shop, but is making far fewer these days and he blames the spill. PEOPLES: I`m down about 25 percent, but -- BOWERS: Are you worried it could get worse? Page 165 For June 20, 2010, CBS CBS News Transcripts June 20, 2010 Sunday

PEOPLES: Yes, I am. (END VIDEOTAPE) BOWERS: He`s right to worry. Alabama`s tourism so far this season is already down 50 percent, and imagery that shows that large plume of oil headed this way could wreck Florida`s season as well -- Russ. MITCHELL: Cynthia Bowers in Destin, Florida. Thank you. That internal BP document that spoke of a worst case scenario of 100,000 barrels of leaking oil per day was released by Representative Ed Markey who joins us from Washington. Congressman, good evening. REPRESENTATIVE EDWARD MARKEY, (D) MASSACHUSETTS: Good evening to you, Russ. MITCHELL: BP released a statement this afternoon saying in regard to that 100,000 barrel figure. Quote, "Since we have no plans to remove the blowout prevent he, the number is irrelevant." Congressman, does that answer any concerns that you have about this issue? MARKEY: Well, why I became concerned is that last week, BP announced that it was actually announced it was actually going to have a capacity to take into 80,000 barrels per day by the middle of July. Since that exceeds the now 60,000 upper limit that had been talked about, I thought it would be important just to put this document out there, even though it`s a low probability. MITCHELL: Well, Congressman, the company also said today and again, I`m quoting, "I don`t think there`s been any underestimating. We`ve always said we would deal with whatever volume of oil is being spilled and that`s what we are doing." Are you, Congressman, accusing BP of flat-out lying? MARKEY: I just think that transparency is key. The American people should know. Even if it`s a low probability, since they have already seen this number increase to a point which has horrified them. So, let`s hope that the number is lower. MITCHELL: Congressman Ed Markey of Massachusetts joining us this evening from Washington. Thank you so much, sir, we appreciate it. MARKEY: Thank you. MITCHELL: One year ago today, a young woman was shot down in the streets of Tehran, igniting weeks of antigovernment demonstrations. The woman, whose death became a symbol for a cause, has been profiled in a new documentary, as we hear from Elizabeth Palmer. (BEGIN VIDEOTAPE) ELIZABETH PALMER, CBS NEWS CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): A few seconds of shaky cell phone video transformed this Neda Agha Sultan into a symbol of Iranian resistance. ANTHONY THOMAS, DIRECTOR: The very fact that we have seen a young girl`s dying moments on television, on the internet, have given her this extraordinary status. PALMER: In death, she became a heroin, but who was she in life? In the new documentary, "For Neda" that will air tonight on HBO2, dissident Iranian journalist, Saeed Deghhan evaded Iran`s security forces to uncover her story. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: This is where she slept. She was no longer a stranger. PALMER: Neda was a 27-year-old divorced philosophy student who loved fashion and travel. The movie also freely available on Youtube explores her desire to escape Iran`s religious dictatorship. Last June, it looked as if the massive street protest following Iran`s disputed presidential election would force political reform, but instead, the opposite happened. Amnesty International estimates that 5,000 protesters, journalists and academics were arrested. A year later, to mark the anniversary of the 2009 uprising, Iran`s reform leaders had planned a replay of the massive street protests. Then, in a move that frustrated millions, they suddenly called the demonstrations off. On the day only a few hundred you turned out. It was the threat of violence that kept the rest at home, says Saeed Deghan. Page 166 For June 20, 2010, CBS CBS News Transcripts June 20, 2010 Sunday

SAEED KAMALI DEHGHAN, IRANIAN JOURNALIST: Reminisce as exactly as they were before, but they cannot go out in the streets knowing the past year, people have been arrested, people have been raped, tortured. PALMER: For the moment, at least, brutal state repression has left Iran`s reformers with a powerful icon, but no plan of action. Elizabeth Palmer, CBS News, London. (END OF VIDEOTAPE) MITCHELL: And still ahead on tonight`s CBS EVENING NEWS, how many people does it take to change the incandescent light bulb? MITCHELL: Americans have just four years to go before the plug is pulled on the familiar incandescent light bulb. Jim Axelrod discovered some American scientists competing to develop new types of energy efficient light bulbs, as CBS reports, "Where America Stands." (BEGIN VIDEOTAPE) JIM AXELROD, CBS NEWS CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): When Thomas Edison opened the first electric power station in the United States in 1882, he could not have foreseen America`s insatiable demand for electric power in 2010. Our report card on electricity consumption gives the U.S. a "D." We consume 13,000 kilowatt hours of electricity per person a year, twice as much as the average person in Great Britain and six times as much as the average person living in China. And Americans are increasing their use by 30 percent a year. One of the biggest problems -- that light bulb Edison invented in 1879. Brilliant for its time -- but virtually unchanged since. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: The incandescent light bulb is basically fire in a glass bulb. AXELROD: Steve Denbaars is the head of Lighting Lab at the University of California at Sta. Barbara. STEVE DENBAARS, DIRECTOR, LIGHTING BULB, UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA: It`s 95 percent wasted energy in the form of heat. Only 5 percent of the energy comes off as light. AXELROD: Of all of the electric power generated in the United States, about 22 percent is used for lighting and most of that power is wasted. (on camera): Given the failing grade the incandescent bulb gets for efficiency, it`s run as our primary light source, long as it`s been, will be coming to an end. (voice-over): The U.S. Department of Energy is imposing tough new efficiency standards for lighting, which will essen- tially ban the incandescent bulb by 2014. Its replacement, the currently compact fluorescent saves energy, but is far from perfect, not only does it contain mercury, a health risk, but many associate fluorescents with unpleasant light. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: That was a flop and the reason is people underestimated the impact of light on the human being. AXELROD: To find a solution, the U.S. government is offering a $10 million award, called the L Prize, to the company that builds the most efficient bulb with the most pleasing light. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: You have to have the quality and quantity of light of what you`re familiar with and used to, to really have a viable replacement. AXELROD: Tom Hamilton is the senior product manager at Phillips. The Dutch-based company submitted the first design to the L Price contest. It features the light emitting diode, or LED. LED lighting uses 80 percent less energy than an incandescent bulb and half as much as compact fluorescent lights. LEDs are semiconductors similar to the chips used in computers and manufactured in high-tech clean rooms. Producing soft, white light was one of the final hurdles for engineers. DENBAARS: We`ve spent 15 years trying to perfect LED lighting to make it replicate the incandescent light bulb and we`re now at the verge of doing that. AXELROD (on camera): So looking at these what do you see as the comparison of light quality? UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Well, at the end of the day, I think we have done our job here. Page 167 For June 20, 2010, CBS CBS News Transcripts June 20, 2010 Sunday

AXELROD: So what`s the catch? DENBAARS: The main problem with LED lighting today is it`s about $40 a light bulb. AXELROD: A hefty price tag, even though the lights last up had 10 or even 20 years and homeowners could save between $300 to $600 a year on energy bills. DENBAARS: I will be optimistic and say that`s been coming down almost 50 percent a year so just within a few years that will be in the $5 to $10 range. AXELROD: Phillips is not the only company in the game. General Electric has this prototype LED bulb and is expected to submit a design for the L Prize. Another possible contender is fast-growing LED manufacturer, Cree. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: While this incandescent uses 60 watts, this one here is an LED light and it only uses 6. AXELROD: CEO, Chuck Swoboda has grown this once tiny North Carolina chip maker into a half billion dollar lighting firm. CHUCK SWOBODA, CEO, CREE INC. We`re working on projects across the country, frankly, around the world where they`re installing new street lights to replace those old ones that we had with an LED street light. AXELROD: In the middle of a recession, Cree expects to hire hundreds of workers this year. SWOBODA: The difference between a regular light bulb and an LED light bulb, what you should notice is almost nothing. That`s the key to making a technology work. AXELROD (on camera): The LED is clearly the near-term future of lighting. But when you look even further down the road, that`s when you start to feel like you`re watching a well-lit science fiction movie. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: This was dreamland but we have made it into reality. AXELROD: Anil Dugal at GE`s Global Research Center is working on the lighting of the future. ANIL DUGAL, ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY LEADER, GE: We`re still in the research stages. There are still some issues. You can see there are some black areas. But we`re just trying to give you the concept of what this is going to be in few years. AXELROD (on camera): It`s kind of like wallpaper. DUGAL: Yes. AXELROD (voice-over): Dugal is developing O-lit, organic LED, a thin film of organic material that`s placed between two pieces of plastic that lights up when plugged in. (on camera): So this is the revolution right here. (voice-over): O-lits are perhaps five years from store shelves. Energy efficient and cool to the touch. Designers envision these light panels as wallpaper, on windows even on clothing. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: One of the things that`s going to be so exciting about O-lit technology is the concept of transparency. AXELROD: Janice Mahon works at Universal Display, an O-lit pioneer. JANICE MAHON, VICE PRESIDENT, UNIVERSAL DISPLAY CO.: You can have a window that during the day lets your sunshine come in and at nighttime, you start to gradually turn the light level of the O-lit panel up so that the window is actually providing your light. AXELROD: Remember the transparent computer screens in the film, "Minority Report." Hollywood fantasies may not be all that far off. (on camera): So this is all just prototype stuff. One day much faster, much big r, all of the light bulbs in a row. So, after more than a century, America`s finally turning one of its most enduring innovations into the next bright idea. Jim Axelrod, CBS News, New York. (END VIDEOTAPE) Page 168 For June 20, 2010, CBS CBS News Transcripts June 20, 2010 Sunday

MITCHELL: And we`ll be back. MITCHELL: On this day, before the official start of summer, much of the south remains mired in a muggy heat wave. There are heat warnings and advisories in places where temperatures could hit record highs of 100 degrees or more. Police have charged a man who built a campfire with starting a 350- acre wildfire that`s burning another downtown flagstaff, Arizona. Another fire broke out north of flagstaff and is being fanned by winds. Some evacuations have been ordered. Hundreds of people lined a funeral profession outside Pittsburgh today to honor Sergeant First Class Robert Fike, Fike and another Pennsylvania National Guardsman were killed last week in Afghanistan. Coming up on tonight`s CBS EVENING NEWS, how fatherhood has helped two war veterans cope with the scars of battle. MITCHELL: Today is the 100th anniversary of Father`s Day, and all over the country, fathers are opening cards and trying on those brand new ties. But for some men, the familiar rituals have fatherhood have a special meaning, and that`s tonight`s "Sunday Cover" wounded veterans for whom every day is Father`s Day. (BEGIN VIDEOTAPE) MITCHELL (voice-over): Sometimes parenting take as little longer for Ryan Kuhls. For instance, getting a 10-month- old out of a high chair with only one arm is a bit after dance and the prosthetic leg makes it more of a challenge to drawl around the floor at playtime. But Kuhl says, it`s more than worth it. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Fatherhood is probably the best thing I have ever experienced. MITCHELL: And it`s something the Bowie, Maryland, resident thought might never happen. While on patrol in Iraq in 2005, his Humvee hit an IED, the explosion sent him 100 feet in the air and killing two fellow soldiers and leaving him with one arm and one leg. Rehab was all about him and then in 2007, Jillian was born. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Becoming a father, at focus is shift off you and it`s really all about the kids, and it`s kind after -- it`s kind of different not to be the center of attention anymore. MITCHELL: Kuhl says the accident has put everything into perspective. He spends his days at the wounded warrior project, but says when he is with his two kids, he can let it all go. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Take it to daddy. MITCHELL: Jim Milott, has had the same problem. In 2003, he was injured in Iraq though his wounds are not as visi- ble as Ryan`s. Milott has severe memory loss and post traumatic stress. His support system begins with 5- year-old daughter, Megan. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: She has been the best counselor that I have had. She`s been the toughest physical therapist that I`ve had. MITCHELL: Milott also has an 18-year-old son, but he says he is a different parent since the attack. He is not always in a hurry anymore. He is there for it all. Megan makes sure of it. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I do this. What do you tell me when you do this -- calm down. MITCHELL: You tell dad to calm down. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Calm down and relax. MITCHELL: Especially on rough days, when memories of the attack come flooding back. Milott was on patrol when his Humvee was hit by a truck bomb. A close friend, a fellow soldier, shoved him out of the way. Milott says it saved his life, but the man who saved it died. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: That`s why I hold Father`s Day special, because you know, I know he had children. You know, so if I don`t honor Father`s Day, then it`s not doing him justice or his children justice. MITCHELL: Two men, two fathers, who say, forget about the spilt milk and the little things. They`re not important. The kids are. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Happy Father`s Day to you. Page 169 For June 20, 2010, CBS CBS News Transcripts June 20, 2010 Sunday

HIGHLIGHT: South Koreans claim North sank one of its ships. More oil is hitting the Gulf Coast.

EMILY SMITH: Oil Worries: Thick, black sludge from that Gulf oil spill surges in to Louisiana wetlands and pictures from space show oil reaching the Loop Current to Florida. Korean Tension: South Korea offers proof that a North Korean torpedo sank one of its warships. And, The Immigration Debate: It`s front and center in U.S.-Mexico relations, but on hold for a White House dinner. This is the CBS MORNING NEWS for Thursday, May 20, 2010. Good morning. Thanks for joining us. I`m Emily Smith, in for Michelle Gielan. The Deepwater oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico keeps growing and the disaster on the surface keeps spreading. It`s now, a full-scale crisis for fragile wetlands on the Louisiana Coast, and the Florida Keys maybe next. But for better or worse, we`ll soon be able to watch the spill as it happens. Tara Mergener has more from Washington. Good morning, Tara. TARA MERGENER: Good morning, Emily. That`s right. This as scientists try to get a clearer picture of what exactly is going on at the well. Now, yesterday the Coast Guard admiral told Congress this is the most complicated spill he`s ever seen. (Begin VT) TARA MERGENER: The public should soon be able to get a live look at the gushing oil well in the Gulf of Mexico. BP has agreed to release the real-time video on a House committee website following demands by Congress. REPRESENTATIVE ED MARKEY (D-Massachusetts): And the American people have a right to know how widespread this pollution is. TARA MERGENER: Oil has been pouring in to the water nonstop for a month now. Patches of the thick, black ooze are already seeping into the marshes of southern Louisiana. GOVERNOR BOBBY JINDAL (R-Louisiana): We know there are going to be waves of oil coming into our wetlands, so it`s already here but we know more is coming. TARA MERGENER: And scientists are worried about where the slick maybe headed next. Satellite images show a small part of it has entered the powerful Loop Current and could wind its way around Florida, and up the East Coast. It`s unclear exactly how much oil is leaking into the Gulf. On Wednesday, a team of experts told lawmakers that BP is grossly underestimating the total. Page 171 For May 20, 2010, CBS CBS News Transcripts May 20, 2010 Thursday

STEVE WERELY (Purdue University, Associate Professor): I don`t see any possibility, any scenario under whi-- which their number`s accurate. TARA MERGENER: The scientists believe the blown-out well is actually spewing more than two million gallons a day, not the official estimate of two hundred thousand gallons. BP hopes to start its latest effort to plug the leak on Sunday. The possible fix involves pumping a mixture called drilling mud into the well and then adding cement to permanently cut off the flow. DOUG SUTTLES (CEO, BP): We just have to remember this is all being done at a depth of five thousand feet and it`s never been done at these depths before. TARA MERGENER: And even if it works, it will still take several weeks to complete. (End VT) TARA MERGENER: And so far, BP has received thousands of ideas to help fix the problem. A tip line has now been set up in Houston to help handle the calls. Emily, back to you. EMILY SMITH: Thank you, Tara. Tara Mergener in Washington. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton leaves this morning for Asia, a trip that includes stops in Japan, China, and South Korea. Her top concern will be a growing crisis and new threats of war on the Korean Peninsula. At a news conference this morning in Seoul, South Korea showed parts of a North Korean torpedo that it says sank a South Korean warship in March. All forty-six Korean sailors on that ship were killed. North Korea denied everything threatening all-out war, if the South retaliates. The U.S. supports the South. KURT CAMPBELL (Assistant Secretary of State): We have a-- a deep enduring and profound interest in the maintenance of peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula, but we will-- we will be working closely particularly with our South Korean friends about the next phase. EMILY SMITH: That next phase of the crisis will likely unfold in the U.N. Security Council. In Thailand, the military appears to control Bangkok this morning a day after battling anti-government protesters. Build- ings burned by protesters, including a huge shopping mall were still smoldering. At least, seven people died in yesterday`s fighting. Much of Oklahoma is recovering this morning from a day of severe weather. More than a dozen tornadoes were reported including a huge twister that ripped across farmland near Hennessey, northwest of Oklahoma City. The same storm system dumped heavy rain, which flooded streets in Tulsa. Now to the immigration debate, which was put on hold for a while last night at the White House. President and Mrs. Obama hosted a state dinner for Mexico`s President Felipe Calderon and his wife earlier in the day. Mrs. Obama unexpectedly found herself discussing immigration at an elementary school. Manuel Gallegus reports. (Begin VT) MANUEL GALLEGUS: It was a candid and surprising exchange between a second grader and the first lady about immigration. GIRL: "My mom said that-- I think that she-- she says that Barack Obama is taking everybody away that doesn`t have papers". MICHELLE OBAMA: Yeah, well, that-- that`s something that we have to work on, right? To make sure that people can be here with the right kind of papers, right? That`s exactly right. GIRL: "My mom doesn`t have papers". MANUEL GALLEGUS: We blurred the face of the little girl to protect her privacy. The moment at a grade school in Maryland, came during Michelle Obama`s visit with Mexican first lady Margarita Zavala. Their spouses were back at the White House, also talking about immigration. President Obama who is calling for an overhaul of the nation`s immigration policies criticized Arizona`s new state law. Page 172 For May 20, 2010, CBS CBS News Transcripts May 20, 2010 Thursday

PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA: I think the Arizona law has the potential of being applied in a discriminatory fashion. The judgments that are going to be made in applying this law are troublesome. MANUEL GALLEGUS: Mexico`s President Felipe Calderon also opposes the law. Still, polls show more Americans are for it than oppose it. Meantime, fallout is spreading. The mayor of Columbus, Ohio, will no longer allow workers to travel to Arizona for city business. And the politics are getting even uglier between Los Angeles and the Desert State. In response to L.A.`s official boycott of his state, an Arizona power official is now threatening to pull the plug on the substantial amount of power L.A. receives from Arizona. Arizona officials say they are ready to fight boycott with boycott. Manuel Gallegus, CBS News, Los Angeles. (End VT) EMILY SMITH: On the CBS MoneyWatch, another day in the red for Asian stocks. Ashley Morrison is here in New York with that and more. Good morning, Ashley. ASHLEY MORRISON: And good morning to you too, Emily. Well, Asian stock markets took another dive as the financial troubles in Europe continue to ripple. Japan`s Nikkei lost more than one and a half percent while Hong Kong`s Hang Seng was also down. On Wall Street, Wednesday, the Dow plunged sixty-seven points, as the NASDAQ finished down eighteen points. Wall Street is keeping an eye on Greece where unions are calling for another general strike today that will close much of the country`s public sector and shut down ferries, trains and public transportation. Workers are protesting the government`s austerity plan, which includes cuts in salaries and pensions. The Greek government needs to enforce the spending cuts in order to resolve its financial crisis. Police are bracing for violence. During Greece`s last general strike on May 5th, three workers including a pregnant woman died while trapped in a bank that rioters set on fire. In Washington, Republicans have delayed final action on a sweeping financial regulation bill. The bill would make it easier to liquidate large failing firms and write new rules for Complex Securities that have been blamed for causing the economic crisis. It would also create a new consumer protection agency. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid says he will seek a new vote today. And Panera Bread is opening up a non-profit store in St. Louis, where customers can pay what they want. It`s the same Panera menu, but people can decide what they want to fork over for their meal. Community kitchens have been successful for other nonprofits and Panera is planning to expand the concept around the country if it can cover the costs and hopefully that will be successful. Certainly a great idea. Emily. EMILY SMITH: Ashley, that is amazing. I cannot get over that story. I knew I liked Panera. ASHLEY MORRISON: Yes. And, you know I love their cinnamon rolls. EMILY SMITH: Oh, so good. ASHLEY MORRISON: I`d get a big bag. EMILY SMITH: I know. Thanks-- thanks, Ashley Morrison here in New York. Thank you. The Senate will open confirmation hearings for Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan on June 28th. Kagan made more Capitol Hill courtesy calls yesterday. The Senate hopes to conclude the Kagan hearings before their week-long break in July. Just ahead on the MORNING NEWS, millions of dollars spent on an airport security program that doesn`t work. Plus, an explosive discovery, which could unlock secrets of the universe. First Katie Couric has a preview of tonight`s CBS EVENING NEWS. KATIE COURIC: Last year, our exclusive investigation questioned why thousands of rape kits have never been tested for evidence. Now, members of Congress are asking their own questions. So what`s being done to change the system? Tonight, only on the CBS EVENING NEWS. (ANNOUNCEMENTS) Page 173 For May 20, 2010, CBS CBS News Transcripts May 20, 2010 Thursday

EMILY SMITH: Faisal Shahzad, the suspect in the failed Times Square car bombing, was apparently surprised that it didn`t explode. Shahzad is said to have asked investigators to explain why the gasoline-and-propane bomb didn`t work. Also not working, a government program designed to spot terrorists before they board planes. Chief investigative correspondent Armen Keteyian reports. (Begin VT) ARMEN KETEYIAN (CBS News Chief Investigative Correspondent): It`s a hidden layer of security most people don`t know about. It`s called "behavior detection." Specially-trained TSA employees whose primary mission is to spot terrorists. They look for unique facial expressions and body language that may identify a potential threat. About three thousand of these officers work at a hundred sixty-one U.S. airports, costing taxpayers nearly two hundred million dollars in 2009. This year, the TSA asked Congress for twenty million more to expand the program. But CBS News has learned the program is failing to detect terrorists. It`s never even caught one. In fact, sources tell CBS News a Government Accountability Office investigation is raising serious questions about the program. The GAO uncovered at least sixteen individuals later accused of involvement in terrorist plots flew twenty- three different times through U.S. airports since 2004. Yet not one was stopped by TSA behavior detection officers working at those airports. CHARLES SLEPIAN (Security Analyst): It`s a disgrace. ARMEN KETEYIAN: Charles Slepian is an aviation security analyst. CHARLES SLEPIAN: Why didn`t they catch them? If it worked, you would catch them. ARMEN KETEYIAN: And scientists are split over whether it`s even possible to recognize terrorists simply by behavior detection. This 2008 report found no evidence it works. STEPHEN FIENBERG (Professor, Carnegie Mellon University): TSA is doing a number of things in the area of beha- vioral detection and I personally think that some of them are shams. ARMEN KETEYIAN: In a statement today, the TSA called the program a ".vital layer." of security ".based in science." that has resulted in ".more than seventeen hundred arrests." for ".illegal activities." like drug smuggling. Armen Keteyian, CBS News, at Reagan National Airport. (End VT) EMILY SMITH: Scientists have found a new type of supernova. The exploding star detected in the nearby spiral ga- laxy, may represent a whole new type of supernova. It produced unusually large amounts of calcium, which may explain the abundance of that element in the universe and in our own bones. EMILY SMITH: In earth orbit, two spacewalking astronauts were busy. They plugged in four new batteries at the Inter- national Space Station. And they were also able to take care of a snagged cable on the inspection boom for the Atlantis shuttle. Straight ahead, your Thursday morning weather. And in sports, the Lakers take a dominating lead in the NBA Western Conference Finals. (ANNOUNCEMENTS) EMILY SMITH: --for a check on the national forecast. The latest satellite picture shows the Southwest and Southeast are clear. Clouds are breaking up in the Northeast. The Southern Plains are under cloudy skies. Those clouds continue into the Midwest and the Northwest is also cloudy. Later today, there`s another chance for some severe weather in the Mid-Mississippi Valley. Rain is in store for parts of the Central Plains. The Desert Southwest could see some record heat. The Pacific Northwest will be cool and rainy. The Midwest will be partly to mostly cloudy, but seasonable. And the Northeast to warms up considerably. In sports, the Lakers are halfway to another NBA final. Pau Gasol score twenty-nine points for Los Angeles against the Suns in a 124 to 112. The Lakers lead the Western Conference Final series two games to none. Game 3 is Sunday night in Phoenix.

In baseball, the Mets` Angel Pagan hit an inside-the-park homerun against Washington. In the fifth inning, Pagan made a shoestring catch for one out and then after some confusion, the Mets got two more outs for their first triple play since 2002. Pagan is the first player in fifty-five years to take part in both a triple play and an inside-the- park homer in the same game. But Washington beat the Mets five to three. In Atlanta, with two outs in the ninth, the Braves` Jason Heyward hit a double for a walk-off win. The Braves five to four win over Cincinnati ended the Reds four-game win streak. And Tampa Bay again showed they`re the best team in the Majors by beating the defending World champ Yankees ten to six. The Rays now lead New York by four games in the American League East. When we return, another look at this morning`s top stories. And, don`t mess with this mom. A California woman shoots a dog after it attacks her child. (ANNOUNCEMENTS) EMILY SMITH: Here`s another look at this morning`s top stories. As BP struggles to plug the oil spill in the Gulf, the company agrees to show it on a live video feed from the sea floor. Oil is clogging fragile wetlands in Louisiana and could reach the Florida Keys soon. And, tensions rise in Korea as the South shows proof that a North Korean torpedo sank one of its warships killing forty- six South Korean sailors. Three American mothers are in Iran, and this morning met with their children, who have been held their since July. The women hugged their children in Tehran, their first visit in ten months. The three Americans were arrested near the border with Iraq. The mothers planned to ask Iranian authorities to release their children who have been accused of spying for the U.S. It`s a shocking turn in a brutal dog attack. A California mother shot the rampaging dog after it attacked her daughter. The six-year-old girl was bitten right outside her home. Reporter Michele Healy of our Los Angeles station KCBS talked to the parents of the little girl. (Begin VT) DON COOPER: And they couldn`t stop it. MICHELE GILE: Lake Forest resident Don Cooper carried his injured six- year-old daughter across the street after a vicious attack by a stray dog believed to be either a pit bull or a boxer. DON COOPER: The bites were deep enough that you have to worry about infection. And-- MICHELE GILE: It was just before 11:00 this morning when next door neighbor Lisa Horner tried to rescue the girl after hearing her screams. LISA HORNER (Neighbor): She was hitting, she was curled in a ball, she was screaming. And the dog just kept going. MICHELE GILE: Authorities say two of the youngest Cooper children were in their front yard playing on Marylhurst Court, when the dog came out of nowhere and pounced on six-year-old Anna. The girl`s fourteen-year- old brother ran out, punched the dog. Her mother kicked it, but nothing worked. The dog even tried to bite a baby in Anna`s mother`s arms, but she managed to get all of the children inside. JENNIFER COOPER (Victim`s Mother): The dog was still being a threat to us and I went and got a handgun, came out, the dog was standing on my front porch here. And I looked out, he was still right there. I was worried about other children in the neighborhood possibly being attacked. So I opened the door, took one shot, shot the dog in the chest. MICHELE GILE: Tom Nye (ph) says this dog has gone after kids before. TOM NYE: I should probably take her out and teach her how to shoot a little better because she didn`t kill the dog. (End VT) EMILY SMITH: That was Michele Gile of KCBS reporting. Page 175 For May 20, 2010, CBS CBS News Transcripts May 20, 2010 Thursday

And finally, who would think that sloths could be so adorable? These baby sloths live in Costa Rica and what`s believed to be the world`s only sloth orphanage. They were brought here after their moms were found killed. I`m Emily Smith. This is the CBS MORNING NEWS. Thanks for watching.

HIGHLIGHT: Tornadoes ravage the plains states. Hearings begin on the Gulf oil spill.

MAN: Big multi-vortex. MICHELLE GIELAN: Severe Storms: At least five dead after a string of tornadoes pummels the plains. Damage Control: Congress opens hearings into the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. And A Long, Hard Look: Senate Republicans promise tough questions for Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan. This is the CBS MORNING News for Tuesday, May 11, 2010. Good morning and thanks for joining us. I`m Michelle Gielan. They knew it was coming but there was nothing to do. Recovery efforts are under way this morning in parts of Oklaho- ma and Kansas following a deadly outbreak of tornadoes. The storms hit yesterday, a string of twisters that killed at least five people and injured dozens of others. Forecasters had been predicting the violent weather since last week. Hardest hit were the suburb-- southern suburbs of Oklahoma City. (Begin VT) MAN #1: Big multi-vortex. MICHELLE GIELAN: Storm chasers say this was the moment when several small tornadoes joined forces creating just one of many monsters that wreaked havoc across Oklahoma Monday. MAN #2: --much left of it here-- MICHELLE GIELAN: Ground zero was this truck stop near the town of Norman, it took a direct hit. CHARLESCIE GREEN (Tornado Survivor): And it was really scary. I mean, the wind was like trying to pull the door off the latch. MICHELLE GIELAN: Charlescie Green worked here, helping to herd dozens of people inside the stores walk-in coo- lers where they safely rode out the storm. Janet White and her wheelchair-bound husband were among the survivors. JANET WHITE (Tornado Survivor): I don`t know everybody was crying. I said just be praying and thank God. MICHELLE GIELAN: Not everyone made it inside. Truck driver Sammy White huddled in his tractor trailer while the wind blew out his windows. SAMMY WHITE (Tornado Survivor): Very lucky, very. But, you know, what do you do? Page 177 For May 11, 2010, CBS CBS News Transcripts May 11, 2010 Tuesday

MICHELLE GIELAN: Emergency officials are now combing through the tornado`s tracks looking for people who might not have escaped the storms that hop- scotched through Oklahoma leaving some neighborhoods untouched, others obliterated. Nearly one hundred homes are either damaged or destroyed. More than thirty thousand homes are without power. Painful, too, forecasters predicted the storm, saying the atmosphere had the right mix of winds, heat and moisture. Most heard the tornado sirens but no one could stop the destruction. (End VT) MICHELLE GIELAN: And one of the fatalities was a young boy hit by flying debris in his home. Two Senate committees open hearings today on the continued oil leak in the Gulf of Mexico. Some five thousand barrels of oil a day continue to spill into the Gulf. In prepared testimony, executives from BP which operated the oil rig and Transocean which owns it plans to blame each other. The president of BP America says, quote, "We are looking at why the blowout preventer did not work because that was the fail-safe in case of an accident.Transocean`s blowout preventer failed to operate." The chief executive of Transocean blames BP saying, quote, "All offshore oil and gas production projects begin and end with the operator, in this case, BP." BP says it will try to place a new dome over the well to stop the leak. A previous effort to use a larger dome to contain the oil failed. And the company`s also spraying chemicals called dispersant to try to stop the oil from spreading but there are concerns about the long-term effects. GOVERNMOR BOBBY JINDAL (R-Louisiana): What is this going to do to the biological lifecycle of the fisheries, the long term health the-- of our-- of our wildlife out there? MICHELLE GIELAN: The company is also spraying dispersant directly on the wellhead five thousand feet below the surface. Tomorrow, Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan starts informal meetings with key Senators. Since Democrats control the Senate, her confirmation appears likely, but Republicans promise to give Kagan a long hard look during her confirmation hearings. Tara Mergener is in Washington with details. Tara, good morning. TARA MERGENER: Good morning, Michelle. Well, Democrats are praising the President`s choice. Republicans are skeptical and promise a spirited debate on judicial philosophy. (Begin VT) TARA MERGENER: Some called her too inexperienced to sit on the nation`s highest court. SENATOR MITCH MCCONNELL (Minority Leader): If a nominee does not have judicial experience, they should have substantial litigation experience. TARA MERGENER: Others portrayed her as an Ivy League elitist. SENATOR JEFF SESSIONS (R-Alabama): I don`t see that she`s particularly knowledgeable about the real life conditions of others. She`s been an academic most of her life. TARA MERGENER: While Republicans don`t have enough votes in the Senate to block Kagan`s confirmation, they`re not going to make it easy. JOHN DICKERSON (CBS News Political Analyst): It`s an election year and Republicans in the opposition are trying to show their supporters that they`re fighting the President tooth and nail on everything. ELENA KAGAN (U.S. Solicitor General): Mister President, I look forward to working with the Senate in the next stage of this process. TARA MERGENER: One of the most contentious issues at her hearings is expected to be her efforts while Dean at Harvard Law School to bar military recruiters from campus to protest the Pentagon`s don`t ask, don`t tell policy that bans gays and lesbians from serving openly. Page 178 For May 11, 2010, CBS CBS News Transcripts May 11, 2010 Tuesday

But Kagan has problems on the left as well. As a White House adviser in 1997, Kagan urged then President Clinton to support a ban on late-term abortions, a position that drew fire from abortion rights groups. Still, Democrats overwhel- mingly approved to the President`s pick and promised a quick process. SENATOR PATRICK LEAHY (D-Vermont): We talk about a Supreme Court Justice. Let`s look at the qualifications, vote up, vote down. She will be confirmed. (End VT) TARA MERGENER: And the President is pushing for Kagan`s confirmation before the next Supreme Court term in October. That means the Senate must vote on the nomination before Labor Day vacation. Michelle, back to you. MICHELLE GIELAN: All right, Tara Mergener in Washington. Tara thanks. A suspected terrorist charged in the bombings of two U.S. embassies back in 1998 has lost a bid to avoid a trial. Ahmed Ghailani was the first prisoner transfer from Guantanamo Bay to the U.S. to face trial in a civilian court. Ghailani wanted the charges dropped because he says he was tortured by the CIA. A federal judge dismissed the motion. In 1998, the attacks on the U.S. embassies in Tanzania and Kenya killed two hundred twenty-four people. There were new U.S. missile strikes in Pakistan this morning. Officials say that up to eighteen missiles and an unusually high number hit Pakistan close to the Afghan border, fourteen alleged insurgents were killed. This is the third barrage of missile strikes since the failed car bombing in New York which the U.S. says is linked to the Pakistani Taliban. Meanwhile, Afghan President Hamid Karzai arrived in the U.S. on Monday. He`ll meet with Secretary of State Clinton today and President Obama tomorrow. The Afghan war and dealing with the Taliban are key issues. Karzai wants the U.S. to back negotiations with the Taliban, something he considers crucial to ending the fighting in Afghanistan. Now to the ongoing political theater in Britain which has turned in to a drama with Prime Minister Gordon Brown`s announcement that he`ll step aside. Brown`s Labor Party finished second in last week`s election. Both Labor and Con- servative Parties are trying to form a coalition government by wooing the Liberal Democrats. Brown s-- says that he accepts responsibility for his party`s poor showing. GORDON BROWN (Britain`s Prime Minister): No single party and no single leader was able to win the full support of the country. As a leader of my party, I must accept that-- that is a judgment on me. Brown has been prime minister for three years. He says he intends to resign by the end of September. Just ahead on the MORNING NEWS, Wall Street breathes a giant sigh of relief. Plus, sneak attack-- a Good Samaritan tries to stop a robber with a beer bottle. But first, Katie Couric has a preview of tonight`s CBS EVENING NEWS. KATIE COURIC: They`re the youngest victims of this tough economy. And last May, we highlighted an innovative program that`s giving hope to their families. One year later, how are these children of the recession doing? Tonight, only on the CBS EVENING NEWS. (ANNOUNCEMENTS) MICHELLE GIELAN: Oh, in Pittsburgh, a white-tailed deer somehow got into the water of the Highland Park Reser- voir yesterday. The animal couldn`t climb out because of the steep walls. Two workers used a small boat to catch the deer and bring it to shore. Animal control rescuers released its restraints and it ran off into the woods. On the CBS MoneyWatch, stocks in Asia slipped this morning and Emily Smith is here in New York with that and more. Emily, good morning. EMILY SMITH: Good morning, Michelle. Overseas stock markets stumbled on worries over Asia`s economic recovery. Japan`s Nikkei lost more than one percent. Wall Street opens this morning with a giant sense of relief. Monday stocks surged following the EU plan to contain Eu- rope`s debt crisis. The Dow jumped four hundred and five points; it`s biggest in more than a year and a half. The NAS- DAQ was up a hundred and nine. While Congress holds a hearing today on that heart-stopping plunge, the Dow took last Thursday. Meantime, the heads of the New York Stock Exchange, the NASDAQ, and six other exchanges have agreed on a principal on new trading Page 179 For May 11, 2010, CBS CBS News Transcripts May 11, 2010 Tuesday rules that would establish a new circuit breaker system for stocks that would slow down trading during periods of intense volatility. The government is investigating Toyota again. This time it`s over allegations, the auto giant waited nearly a year in 2005 to recall trucks and SUVs with defective steering problems. The defect is linked to sixteen crashes and three deaths. We now know how much oa-- one of the early benefits of health care reform will cost. The government says letting young adults stay on their parents` health insurance, until they turn twenty-six, will increase premiums by about one percent for employer plans. Many insurers have already started offering extended coverage to families who buy their coverage directly. And if you had Twitter issues yesterday, you were not alone. A glitch somehow allowed users to add followers, something that normally has to be done by the person, by the non-celebrity who wants to follow you. Then as Twitter technicians corrected the problem, it temporarily reset all accounts to have zero followers. The problem is fixed. Everyone`s back and there should be no lasting damage except, maybe, to your ego. So, Michelle, for example, like my Twitter account would have shown that-- Madonna was by choice following me-- when, in fact, she did not make that choice, but was getting my tweets. MICHELLE GIELAN (overlapping): That is- EMILY SMITH: But it`s all fixed. MICHELLE GIELAN: That`s good. And all of our 1.75 million followers between the two of us, you know-- EMILY SMITH: Yeah. MICHELLE GIELAN: --they`re all there, everything`s fine. EMILY SMITH: They`re all back, right. MICHELLE GIELAN: Okay (LAUGHING). All right, Emily Smith, as always, thank you very much. The recall of romaine lettuce due to an E. coli outbreak has expanded. A second distributor, who marketed lettuce grown at a suspect farm in Houma, Arizona, has joined the recall. At least nineteen people have been sickened, most in New York, Ohio, and Michigan. The recall affects twenty- three states. Barbara Walters, the creator and host of The View on ABC, announced on the show yesterday that she will be taking some time off for a heart operation. BARBARA WALTERS (The View, ABC): Later this week, I`m going to have surgery to replace one faulty heart valve. Now lot`s of people-- MICHELLE GIELAN: Eighty-year-old Walters says she has not felt any symptoms from the narrowing of the heart valve. She plans to take the summer off from The View to recuperate and will return in the fall. And we hope she`ll be doing well quickly. A hero`s dramatic confrontation with an armed robber was caught on video. A gunman was demanding money from a gas station clerk in Virginia Saturday. Then a Good Samaritan came to the rescue hitting the gunman with a beer bottle. But he was shot as the thief escaped. The clerk says he saved her life. WOMAN: If it wasn`t for him I`d be dead. That guy would have shot me. He`d already shot next to my feet twice. He`s a hero. He didn`t have to do that. He could have walked right out of the store. He`s a hero and I just want to hug and kiss him. I just want to know IF he`s all right. MICHELLE GIELAN: Well, the Good Samaritan was wounded in the head, shoulder, and legs but he`s been released from the hospital and she got her wish. He`s recovering at home. Straight ahead, your Tuesday morning weather. And in sports, two more teams advance in the NBA Playoffs. (ANNOUNCEMENTS) MICHELLE GIELAN: Time now for a check on the national forecast. The latest satellite picture shows storms pushing into the Mid-Mississippi Valley. And the Southwest and most of California are sunny. Now, later today, the Midwest, Page 180 For May 11, 2010, CBS CBS News Transcripts May 11, 2010 Tuesday

Northern Plains, and Ohio River Valley will have a rainy day. The Northeast remains cool and the Southeast will be sunny. In sports, two more teams advance in the playoffs. The Lakers got thirty- two points from Kobe Bryant as Los Angeles beat Utah 111 to 96 to sweep the Jazz in four straight. Los Angeles advances and will face Phoenix in the Western Con- ference finals. And Vince Carter had twenty-two points as Orlando completely dominated the Hawks for a four game series sweep, the 98 to 84 victory advances the Magic to the Eastern Conference finals to face either Cleveland or Boston. In baseball, an ex-Yankee help beat his former team, Detroit`s Johnny Damon hit a home run in his first game against the team that didn`t bring him back this season. The Tigers edged New York 5 to 4. And in the National League, Atlanta`s Martin Prado hit a grand slam home run in the sixth inning of an 8 to 2 Braves win over Milwaukee. I like to see this go. Atlanta had not had a grand slam in two hundred and fifty- three games going back to the 2008 season. When we return, we`ll take another look at this morning`s top stories. And drug warning, news about serious side effects for prescription antacids. (ANNOUNCEMENTS) MICHELLE GIELAN: Here`s another look at this morning`s top stories. A string of deadly tornados killed at least five people in Oklahoma yesterday. More than a hundred homes were destroyed and dozens injured. And the Senate opens hearings into the Gulf of Mexico oil leak today. Executives from firms that own and operated the collapsed rig are expected to blame each other. There are new health concerns about very popular drugs used to treat acid reflux and ulcers. Terrell Brown reports. (Begin VT) TERRELL BROWN: Rosemary Jacobson (ph) struggled with a stomach ulcer for years. ROSEMARY JACOBSON: The heartburn was severe. It would go right up to the throat. TERRELL BROWN: She routinely took commonly prescribed medications to block the acid in her stomach--Nexium, Prevacid and Prilosec all fall into this category. But new research finds these types of medications have risks. DR. CHRISTINE FRISSORA (NY Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center): Kidney disease, inte-- intestinal infec- tions, pneumonia. TERRELL BROWN: One study shows people who take these medications every day have a seventy-four percent increased risk of a serious bacterial infection. DR. CHRISTINE FRISSORA: They can change the bacteria that live in your body and, therefore, possibly predispose you to an infection that causes fever, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and sometimes death. TERRELL BROWN: Another study found older women who took the drugs were more likely to develop bone fractures. More than one hundred ten million prescriptions are filled for these drugs every year. And they can work very well. But some doctors say they`re being overprescribed with no concern for the side effects. DR. CHRISTINE FRISSORA: There are groups of patients that really need these medicines. But if you can get away with changing your diet, your lifestyle, and losing ten pounds, then, of course, that`s even better. TERRELL BROWN: Rosemary says she`s going to think twice before taking pills. ROSEMARY JACOBSON: If I get heartburn, I`m going to do anything natural I can. TERRELL BROWN: She`s using medication now only when her heartburn flares up. Terrell Brown, CBS News, New York. (End VT) Page 181 For May 11, 2010, CBS CBS News Transcripts May 11, 2010 Tuesday

MICHELLE GIELAN: And a man who calls himself the Swampmaster says he`s been bitten by alligators twelve times, but never like this. (Jeff Quattrocchi screaming) MICHELLE GIELAN: Oh, on Sunday, an eight-foot long alligator chomped down on Jeff Quattrocchi`s right arm during a show. Spectators were horrified. RICHARD MIGLINO (Witnessed Attack): It turned around and snapped on to his arm here. And, boy, he had to pull his arm out of the mouth of the alligator and ripped a nice gash into his arm. It was scary, I tell you, very scary. MICHELLE GIELAN: The Swampmaster says he made a mistake and miss jumped on the gator`s back. He`s out of the hospital after surgery and has a whole lot of stitches and staples to show for it. And he`ll be showing us this morning on THE EARLY SHOW. We`re going to speak with the Swampmaster himself. I`m Michelle Gielan. This is the CBS MORNING NEWS.

HIGHLIGHT: Examining the primaries taking place today. Who is to blame for the Gulf oil spill?

MICHELLE GIELAN: Primary Battles: It`s a nail-biting day for some veteran lawmakers as voters head to the polls in four states. Oil Investigation: As the struggle to cap that well in the Gulf continues, President Obama wants to know who`s to blame. And Chef Suspect: He cooked on TV for a living--did he also cook up a scheme to murder his wife. This is the CBS MORNING NEWS for Tuesday, May 18, 2010. Good morning. Thanks for joining us. I`m Michelle Gielan. National elections are still six months away but for voters in Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Arkansas, and Oregon the political year starts today. Primaries will test the popular notion that incumbents, who`ve spent decades in Congress, are in deep trouble. Tara Mergener is in Washington with a look at some of the key races. Tara, good morning. TARA MERGENER: Good morning, Michelle. Well, this is the biggest collection of races so far this year and will no doubt put a number of political theories to the test. (Begin VT) TARA MERGENER: Senator Arlen Specter hopes to still be cheering by the end of the day. He`s locked in one of today`s biggest political battles- -Pennsylvania`s Democratic primary. After thirty years as a Republican, it`s his first race as a Democrat. He switched alliances just last year but believes he`s earned the backing of his new party. SENATOR ARLEN SPECTER (D-Pennsylvania): When I provided the sixtieth vote for comprehensive health insurance, I think that`s pulled a lot of Democrats my way. TARA MERGENER: But his current rival, Representative Joe Sestak, doesn`t think so. REPUBLICAN JOE SESTAK (D-Pennsylvania): Thirty years, advancing, in his case, Republican agenda. Then he shows the nation that I`m willing to switch my party. TARA MERGENER: Democratic Senator Blanche Lincoln of Arkansas is another incumbent facing a potentially career-ending primary. SENATOR BLANCHE LINCOLN (D-Arkansas): We have worked hard in this campaign. It has been an unbelievably challenging campaign. Page 183 For May 18, 2010, CBS CBS News Transcripts May 18, 2010 Tuesday

TARA MERGENER: She`s taking heat from both sides--angering conservatives by supporting health care reform and liberals for opposing the public option. Politicians and analysts won`t just be focusing on incumbents today they`ll also look at how much momentum the tea party movement can give a candidate. In Kentucky, Rand Paul, son of Congressman Ron Paul, is riding tea party support against Trey Grayson in the Republi- can primary. But one of the biggest battlegrounds today will be back in Pennsylvania. A special election will decide on a replacement for the late Democratic Representative John Murtha. (Excerpt from political ad) TARA MERGENER: Republican Tim Burns is pitted against Democrat Mark Critz. In recent weeks, both parties invested a million dollars each in the campaigns--a sign of just how far they`re willing to go ahead of November`s big showdown. (End VT) TARA MERGENER: And certainly President Obama has a stake in the outcome of these races. The White House says he is watching but not that closely. Michelle, back to you. MICHELLE GIELAN: All right. Tara Mergener in Washington. Tara, thanks. There was a deadly suicide bombing this morning in Kabul, the Afghanistan capital. Americans may be among the casualties. The target apparently was a convoy of SUVs. It`s reported that some foreign troops, possibly Americans, were among the nineteen people killed, more than twenty other people were wounded, most of them Afghans on a public bus. It`s the first major bomb attack in Kabul since February. Turning now to the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, BP is now si-- siphoning off some of the oil gushing from the well on the seafloor and will try again to cap it soon, but millions of gallons of oil have already leaked and scientists fear a current of warm water will carry it around Florida and up the East Coast. Tar balls were found off Key West yesterday. Tests will determine if they came from the leaking well. Several hearings on this spill and the consequences are scheduled today in Congress. And, President Obama will appoint an expert panel to de-- determine who is responsible for the disaster. Joel Brown has that story. (Begin VT) JOEL BROWN: The race is on to find out who`s to blame for the massive oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. President Ob- ama is leading the call, creating a commission to investigate. LAMAR MCKAY (BP America): We`ve been very clear that the BP resources are behind this. JOEL BROWN: BP took its lumps in a Senate hearing Monday, but other companies and government agencies could share in the blame. In a 60 MINUTES exclusive oil rig survivor, Mike Williams, said rig owner, Transocean, was warned of serious problems with the blowout preventer, a piece of rubber meant to keep the underwater well under control. MICHAEL WILLIAMS (Oil Rig Survivor, 60 MINUTES): They discovered chunks of rubber in this-- in the drilling fluid. JOEL BROWN: The government agency that oversees offshore drilling is also under fire. The agency fell short of its monthly inspection policy and Monday a top official said he`d retire early. Environmentalists also filed suit against the federal agency Monday trying to shut down oil platforms in the Gulf. Since the explosion last month, the federal agency has approved the request of at least nine more deep water wells in the Gulf. SENATOR HARRY REID: We must make sure oil companies learn their lesson. JOEL BROWN: Senators flexed their muscles Monday. Two asked for all known video showing oil gushing from the broken pipe and wellhead. Still, the question remains how to cut off the spill. BP is pinning its hopes on so-called relief wells. Digging them could take months. SENATOR JOSEPH LIEBERMAN (I-Connecticut): So this could take us until the end of July or early August, it could, you know. Page 184 For May 18, 2010, CBS CBS News Transcripts May 18, 2010 Tuesday

JOEL BROWN: Translating into millions more gallons of oil gushing into the ocean. Joel Brown, CBS News, Washington. (End VT) MICHELLE GIELAN: The last of ten Americans arrested in Haiti after the January earthquake is thought to be on her way home to Idaho this morning. Laura Silsby led a group that tried to take thirty-three children out of Haiti without authorization. Initially charged with kidnapping, she was convicted yesterday of arranging illegal travel, sentenced to time served and released. In Pakistan, a roadside bomb exploded this morning as a police patrol drove past, killing three officers and eight civilians and wounding fifteen. It happened in a tribal area where Pakistani troops are fighting with the Taliban. In Thailand, there`s hope this morning for an end to deadly street violence in Bangkok. Sporadic clashes continue between troops and antigovernment protesters, but a protest leader accepted an offer from the Thai senate to mediate peace talks. Back in this country, Juan-Carlos Cruz was once a TV chef known as the Calorie Commando, but this morning Cruz is behind bars in Los Angeles charged with cooking up a bizarre murder plot aimed at his wife. Sandra Hughes has the latest. (Begin VT) SANDRA HUGHES: Former Food Network host Juan-Carlos Cruz pleaded not guilty in a Los Angeles courtroom. He`s accused of hiring two homeless men for a thousand dollars to kill his wife, Attorney Jennifer Campbell. JOSEPH MARKUS (Los Angeles County Deputy District Attorney): The defendant was charged with two separate counts. The first count is attempted murder. It`s a willful, deliberate, and premeditated attempted murder. And count two is solicitation of murder. SANDRA HUGHES: According to celebrity website TMZ, these homeless men were solicited. MAN #1: What did he say he wanted you guys to do? MAN #2: Cut his-- to cut this woman`s throat. MAN #3: And he didn`t say who the woman was. (Excerpt from Calorie Commando) SANDRA HUGHES: Known for his Food Network`s shows Calorie Commando and Weighing In, Cruz turned high- calorie recipes into low-calorie equivalents. He got his start as a pastry chef. Santa Monica police arrested Cruz last week when the homeless men turned him in. The forty- eight-year-old chef appeared unshaven and in handcuffs. He remains in jail, unable to post a two-million-dollar bail. Cruz is back in court next month. If convicted he faces a possible sentence of life in prison. Sandra Hughes, CBS News, Los Angeles. (End VT) MICHELLE GIELAN: Just ahead on the MORNING NEWS, a check of the overseas markets. Plus, simple solutions, how some easy changes could keep Social Security from going broke. First, Katie Couric has a preview of tonight`s CBS EVENING NEWS. KATIE COURIC: They became the face of America`s hunger epidemic. One year later, we`re checking into see how things have changed for these two little boys. Our Children of the Recession series continues tonight only on the CBS EVENING NEWS. (ANNOUNCEMENTS) MICHELLE GIELAN: A new congressional report says that Social Security can be fixed by making small tweaks in taxes and benefits. Social Security faces a 5.3-trillion-dollar shortfall over the next seventy- five years. But increasing Page 185 For May 18, 2010, CBS CBS News Transcripts May 18, 2010 Tuesday payroll taxes by 1.1 percentage points would get rid of that shortfall. Reducing cost of living increases and raising the retirement age could also help close the gap. On the CBS MoneyWatch, stocks in Asia were mixed this morning. And Emily Smith is here in New York with that and more. Emily, good morning. EMILY SMITH: Good morning, Michelle. Well, stock markets in Asia had an upbeat start but ended flat. Japan`s Nik- kei gained a fraction. Hong Kong`s Hang Seng was up about one percent. Well, on Wall Street some wild swings and a late-day rally. On Monday, the Dow ended up six points higher. The NASDAQ added seven. Some problems with the administration`s seventy-five-billion-dollar mortgage relief program. Nearly three hundred thousand homeowners had their loans modified--paying on average five hundred and sixteen dollars less a month--but nearly a quarter of those who began the program dropped out. Home builders are growing more optimistic. The National Association of Home Builders says its housing market com- petence index this month hit its highest level since August of 2007. Despite the end of homebuyer`s tax incentives many builders expect improved sales and customer traffic. Some good news at General Motors. The auto giant reported its first profit in three years. Revenue is up forty percent over the first quarter of last year with U.S. sales rising seventeen percent. In other auto news, the Treasury Department says it will lose 1.6 billion dollars on the bailout loan, it made to Chrysler last year. Chrysler repaid nearly two billion of the four-billion-dollar loan before it went bankrupt. And Microsoft is upgrading its free internet mail service, Hotmail. It will automatically sort messages into different categories and provide previews of incoming pictures. The upgrade is expected to be available this summer. And, Mi- chelle, I just checked my hotmail and it`s a hot mess. So that`s good. MICHELLE GIELAN: It`s a hot mess. EMILY SMITH: I have so many e-mails that, you know, you try to keep up and delete them but-- MICHELLE GIELAN: I know. I`ve fifty-four in mine right now. EMILY SMITH: Hmm. MICHELLE GIELAN: All right, Emily Smith here in New York. Emily, thanks. EMILY SMITH: Thanks. MICHELLE GIELAN: The boycott of Arizona over the new immigration law is expanding. The city council in Seattle voted on Monday to have the city stop buying Arizona-based goods and restricted travel on city business to Arizona. In Los Angeles, protesters on both sides of the issue argued outside the Lakers game at the Staple Center. And straight ahead your Tuesday morning weather. And in sports, inside the Staple Center, Lakers cruise to an easy win in that opening game of the Western Conference Finals. (ANNOUNCEMENTS) MICHELLE GIELAN: And it`s time now for a check on the national forecast. The latest satellite picture shows much of the mid section of the country is clear. The West Coast is cloudy with clouds extending out to the Rockies. The North- east is also dealing with overcast skies. Now later on today the Northeast gets some of the rain that dumped several inches over the Mid-Atlantic and Ohio River Valley. There`s a chance for thunderstorms in Texas. Rain is also expected in the Rockies and the Northwest. The Southeast begins to dry out. And the Midwest and Northern Plains will have the best weather with sunny skies and temps in the seventies and eighties. Lucky, lucky. In sports, the Lakers jump out to an early lead in the NBA`s Western Conference Finals. Kobe Bryant had forty points against the Suns, including twenty-one in the third quarter. And Los Angeles beat Phoenix 128 to 107. Game two is Wednesday night in L.A. Page 186 For May 18, 2010, CBS CBS News Transcripts May 18, 2010 Tuesday

In baseball, the Cubs and Rockies went into extra innings. In the bottom of the eleventh, Chicago`s Aramis Ramirez snapped out of his batting slump to hit a two-run homer to left field. And the Cubs had a walk-off 4 to 2 win over Colo- rado. At Yankee Stadium with the score tied in the bottom of the ninth, Marcus Thames hit a two-run homer down the left- field line. That gave the Yankees an 11 to 9 walk-off victory over the Boston Red Sox. And in the bottom of the eleventh inning, Tampa Bay`s Jason Bartlett laid down a bunt on the first base side of the pitcher`s mound that brought in the winning run from third base. The Rays` walk-off bunt edged the Indians 4 to 3. When we return, we`ll take another look at this morning`s top stories. And copy concerns--how copy machines pose a huge security risk and what`s being done to protect the public. (ANNOUNCEMENTS) MICHELLE GIELAN: Here`s another look at this morning`s top stories. This is primary day in four states and some well-known incumbents in Congress, including Pennsylvania`s Arlen Specter, are facing the toughest fights of their careers. And the oil spill in the Gulf is still growing, threatening the Florida Keys and the Eastern Seaboard. President Obama will appoint a commission to investigate. The space shuttle astronauts today will be attaching a new Russian-built compartment on to the International Space Sta- tion. The mission`s first spacewalk was interrupted Monday by a partial power outage. It knocked out robot camera views of the two astronauts for about fifteen minutes as they installed a spare antenna. The government may start an investigation of copy machines that hold on to your private personal information. A CBS News investigation found that images of the documents are stored in copiers which could be accessed by identity thieves. Chief Investigators Correspondent Armen Keteyian has a follow-up report. (Begin VT) ARMEN KETEYIAN (CBS News Chief Investigative Correspondent): In our investigation into the dangers posed by digital copiers, we discovered nearly everyone built after 2002, stores on hard drives an image of documents copied, scanned, or e-mailed by the machine. Massachusetts Congressman Ed Markey called for an investigation by the Federal Trade Commission, concerned most Americans don`t know their information can be compromised. REPRESENTATIVE ED MARKEY (D-Massachusetts): We have to do a lot more to ensure that the public and corporations know this, and that absolute security is applied to copy machines across our country. ARMEN KETEYIAN: Our investigation, which aired last month, revealed how easy it is to buy used copiers. We didn`t even have to wait for the first one to warm up. JOHN JUNTUNEN: We got some documents here on the glass. This machine came from the city of Buffalo, New York. Police Sex-- ARMEN KETEYIAN: Sex Crimes Division. JOHN JUNTUNEN: Sex Crimes Division. ARMEN KETEYIAN: Using software available free on the internet, our expert, John Juntunen, of Digital Copier Secu- rity downloaded thousand thousands of documents in less than twelve hours. From the Buffalo Police Department, we found lists of domestic violence complaints and targets in a major drug raid. From a New York Construction Company, ninety-five pages of pay stubs with names, addresses, and Social Security numbers. And from this health care company, hundreds of pages of personal medical records. As a result of our story, Affinity Health was required to notify more than four hundred thousand people of a potential breach of their privacy. REPRESENTATIVE ED MARKEY: I think the copying machine industry has to step up, provide the leadership and the technology that ensures that this information is scrubbed from copying machines. ARMEN KETEYIAN: Now, the Federal Trade Commission has jumped on board looking into ways to better protect the public from a simple office copier that we now know can leave behind a trail of digital secrets. Armen Keteyian, CBS News, New York. Page 187 For May 18, 2010, CBS CBS News Transcripts May 18, 2010 Tuesday

(End VT) MICHELLE GIELAN: Sarah Palin`s daughter, Bristol, is hitting the speakers` circuit. A family attorney confirms nineteen-year-old Bristol Palin plans to charge up to thirty thousand dollars for an appearance. She`s expected to talk about being a single mom and her experiences on the campaign trail. And a Kansas woman proves that she`s a super senior. Over the weekend, Nola Ochs became the world`s oldest person to receive a master`s degree at the age of ninety-eight. She earned her degree in liberal studies at Fort Hays State Uni- versity. In January, she hopes to become a paid teacher`s assistant. Good for her. This morning on THE EARLY SHOW, more on today`s primary races. I`m Michelle Gielan. This is the CBS MORNING NEWS.

HIGHLIGHT: Details of the disaster in the Gulf. Afghanistan NATO base attacked. Details of the Air India plane crash. Captive hikers` mothers leave empty-handed. Teen unemployment figures.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) JEFF GLOR, ANCHOR (voice-over): Tonight, as estimates of the gulf oil spill continue to soar, so does criticism of the government`s response. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I`m sick to my stomach and we told them. We told them. (END VIDEO CLIP) GLOR: I`m Jeff Glor. Also tonight, mission to Iran, the mothers of three imprisoned American hikers are back home tonight, but still missing their children. Game on -- in the worst job market since the great depression, many graduate feel their best bet is on video games. And bottle boat-- a vessel made of recycled plastic bottles, hoping to make it across the ocean and send a message at the same time. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) UNIDENTIFIED MALE: So what we`re trying to advocate is smart material, smart use of graphic. (END VIDEO CLIP) GLOR: Good evening. Thirty one days after the gulf rig explosion, oil continues washing ashore tonight as even larger plumes lurk offshore. The leak still has not been stopped. Here is a live look underwater tonight at the gushing pipe 5,000 feet down, and here is the latest from the Gulf Coast. New estimates put the oil flow as high as 100,000 barrels a day. That`s almost four million gallons a day. Oil is reaching more gulf coast beaches and the finger pointing over who`s to blame is growing more intense. Our coverage begins this evening with Mark Strassmann in Grand Isle Beach, Louisiana. Mark, good evening. MARK STRASSMAN, CBS NEWS CORRESPONDENT: Good evening, Jeff. For a second day, more oil has washed on these beaches. I mean, take a look at this. All these dark stripes you see are dried or drying oil. There`s a lot of. It runs the length of this beach for seven miles. We were just in a boat offshore, and I can tell you from what we saw for this community, it`s about to go from bad to worse. Page 189 For May 22, 2010, CBS CBS News Transcripts May 22, 2010 Saturday

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE) STRASSMAN (voice-over): Hazmat suits rather than bathing suits. It`s another sign that Grand Isle has become grand oil. Crude oil smears its seven-mile beach, closed by police order, other than cleanup crews. Offshore, two porpoises swam into danger, into more oil, heading to the beach. This is more bad news for Grand Isle. (on camera): This boat is sitting maybe 25 yards offshore, but it`s also sitting in oil. Wave after wave of oil is now coming ashore, and behind me, there`s not a boom in sight. DAVID CAMARDELLE, MAYOR, GRAND ISLE, LOS ANGELES: I`m going to lose this place when I know I`m trying my best and I want to save my fishermen. STRASSMAN (voice-over): Wildlife officials found four more dead birds, all from Grand Isle. Some were splattered in oil, including a brown pelican, the Louisiana state bird. An egret was also coated in it. Oil is spilling into fragile marshes of Plaquemines Parish. BILL NUNGESSER, PRESIDENT, PLAQUEMINES PARISH: We told them the booms are not working. The booms are not working. STRASSMAN: A mile under the gulf, this BP tube trapped some of the gushing pipe line and the robotic arm injected dispersant. But again today, as thousands more barrels bled into the water, anxiety spiked across the gulf. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Where the wind blows is where the oil is going to go. STRASSMAN: This meeting in Key West, Florida, was packed. Local leaders grilled BP officials and the coast guard. What`s latest? What`s the plan? There are good news-- in the Gulf of Mexico, a new potential shift in the powerful loop current could push far less oil than feared towards Florida or the East Coast. But that`s no comfort to Dodie Vegas on Grand Isle. Her family marina business is on the line, and next weekend, Me- morial day, suddenly no one wants to stay in her hotel. DODIE VEGAS, GRAND ISLE MERCHANT: As soon as I hung up the phone, I was picking up the phone again. It was one after the other. STRASSMAN (on camera): All cancelling. VEGAS: Yes, you know. STRASSMAN: And they all said the same thing? VEGAS: Yes, yes, because of the oil. (END VIDEOTAPE) STRASSMAN: I want to show you something. The oil you saw floating offshore-- this is that oil a couple of hours later. It has all washed on to the beach. There is a lot more of it coming in almost with every wave, more oil, little bit and pieces of oil keep drifting in and spoiling this beach. Noah, which is the federal agency that watches the oceans, has a forecast projecting the path of this spill for the next 72 hours, Jeff. This area is the bull`s eye. GLOR: Wow, all right, sad scene tonight. Mark Strassmann tonight in Grand Isle beach. Mark, thank you. In Washington today, the debate over the Obama administration`s response to this spill intensified today. Senior White House correspondent Bill Plante has that story. (BEGIN VIDEOTAPE) BILL PLANTE, CBS SENIOR WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): The politics of anger over B.P.`s failure to plug the leak has become as toxic as the undersea gusher itself. With B.P. making little progress, there`s increasing pressure on the administration to find a solution. BARACK OBAMA, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: We`re drawing on America`s best mind and using the world`s best technology to stop the leak. Page 190 For May 22, 2010, CBS CBS News Transcripts May 22, 2010 Saturday

PLANTE In his weekly address, the president announced a bipartisan commission to investigate the disaster and admitted federal oversight of the industry has been poor. PRESIDENT OBAMA: Even as we continue to hold B.P. accountable, we also need to hold Washington accountable. PLANTE: But increasingly, members of Congress, some in the president`s own party are, urging the administration to do more than just continue to rely on B.P. REPRESENTATIVE EDWARD MARKEY (D), MASSACHUSETTS: If the Defense Department or NASA or CIA have technologies that can help, they should use them right now. PLANTE: Ian McDonald of Florida State University, who first questioned B.P.`s low estimates of spill volumes, is one of four scientists signing this "New York Times" op-ed piece today. They estimate the oil discharge is at least 40,000 barrel a day and could be as much as 100,000 barrels. McDonald said the government should take a more aggressive role. IAN MCDONALD, PROFESSOR, FLORIDA STATE UNIVERSITY: It seems to me that B.P. is very much calling the shots, even to the extent of collecting necessary data, and that shouldn`t be totally that way. PLANTE: The president`s spokesman says under a 1990 law, B.P. is responsible. ROBERT GIBBS, WHITE HOUSE PRESS SECRETARY: They`re responsible for the cleanup and they have to pay for it. PLANTE: Gibbs was pressed repeatedly to explain why the federal government hasn`t taken over. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: I`m asking why you don`t take control of the whole operation. GIBBS: It is their responsibility. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Does the government just stand there as a spectator? GIBBS: We are overseeing the response, OK. (END VIDEOTAPE) PLANTE: Officials say that there`s no way they can declare an emergency and take over because the law says B.P. is responsible. So whether the government is doing everything it can or not, the White House has an increasingly serious political problem and one about which they are increasingly sensitive and there`s no easy solution in sight -- Jeff. GLOR: It sounds like. All right, Bill Plante at the White House this evening. Bill Plante, thank you. The president today also delivered the commencement address at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point. He told nearly 1,000 graduating cadets that America`s foreign policy should focus increasingly on diplomacy and cooperation. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) PRESIDENT OBAMA: The international order we seek is one that can resolve the challenges of our times, countering violent extremism and insurgency, stopping the spread of nuclear weapons and securing nuclear materials, combating a changing climate and sustaining global growth. Helping countries feed themselves and care for their sick. Preventing conflict and healing wound. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Dismissed! (END VIDEO CLIP) GLOR: The tossing of the caps, a West Point tradition. Insurgents launched a ground assault tonight on the NATO base at Kandahar in southern Afghanistan, a Taliban strong- hold. Officials say several soldiers and civilian workers were wounded. The Kandahar attack follows an attacked Wednesday on Bagram Airfield outside Kabul. In India today, a horrific plane crash. A low fare airliner crashed on landing. The flight from Dubai to Mangalore was carrying 166 people and only eight survived. Mark Phillips has more. BEGIN VIDEOTAPE) Page 191 For May 22, 2010, CBS CBS News Transcripts May 22, 2010 Saturday

MARK PHILLIPS, CBS NEWS CORRESPONDENT: It was the breaking up of the plane as it overshot the runway at Mangalore Airport that may have saved some of its passengers. The survivors were either thrown free or managed to climb out through gaps in the fuselage as it split apart and before the flames consumed it. "There was a blast, perhaps a tire bursting, as the plane landed," this man says. "Within five seconds there was fire and smoke all over." "We looked up and saw an opening and crawled through it," says this man. The flight from Dubai to Mangalore was full of Indian migrant workers and their families returning from jobs in the gulf. More than 20 children were on board. The plane, a Boeing 737 was only three years old. The airport, though, has a reputation as a challenging one for pilots. Its runways are carved out of hilly jungle country and are sited on a tabletop plateau with cliff-like drop-offs. The plane appears to have skidded off the end of the runway as the pilot tried to regain control and plowed into the gorge beyond. PETER GOELZ, FORMER MANAGING DIRECTOR, NTSB: There are certain challenges when you approach an airport that`s laid out the way this one is, and it`s nothing unsafe, but you just have to really pay attention because there`s not as great a margin of error there. PHILLIPS: It`s the beginning of the monsoon season in southern India, and the weathers wet, but visibility was ade- quate, and both pilots had experience at this airport, more than 80 lands there is between them. Indian crash investigators joined by experts from Boeing will now try to discover consider this happened. Mark Phillips, CBS News, London. (END VIDEOTAPE) GLOR: Three American mothers are back on U.S. soil tonight after an emotional visit with their children who are being held in Iran. When the mothers returned, it was impossible for them to hide their anguish. Elaine Quijano was there. (BEGIN VIDEOTAPE) ELAINE QUIJANO, CBS NEWS CORRESPONDENT: Exhausted and empty-handed, the mothers of three American hikers detained in Iran, Sarah Shourd, Shane Bauer, and Josh Fattal, returned to the United States today. CINDY HICKEY, MOTHER OF SHANE BAUER: The pain we felt at having to leave Tehran without our children is almost more than we can bear. Our greatest hope was to bring our children home with us where they belong. QUIJANO: Just 48 hours earlier, as they saw their children for the first time in months, they were filled with hope. Ira- nian authorities in a carefully orchestrated moment Thursday pulled the hikers out of detention for the on-camera reu- nion. SHANE SHOURD, DETAINED AMERICAN: It`s really difficult being alone. Shane and Josh are in the room together, but I`m alone, and that`s the most difficult thing for me. QUIJANO: Last July, the three were arrested along the Iran-Iraq border. Iran has accused them of spying. Their families insist the three were hiking and say if they did stray into Iran it was accidental. This week the mother spent 10 hours over two visits with their children, but said their trip ended too soon. NORA SHOURD, MOTHER OF SARAH SHOURD: We regret that because our visit was cut short we didn`t see more of them. QUIJANO: The mothers` effort to free their children comes amid continued tensions between the U.S. and Iran over Iran`s nuclear programs. While the mothers expressed gratitude, they also said their children, who have not been charged, have not seen a lawyer. SHOURD: Shane, Sara, and Josh have done nothing to deserve their continued detention. QUIJANO: Alex Fattal remains hopeful. (on camera): What are you going to say to Josh when you see him again? ALEX FATTAL, BROTHER OF JOSH FATTAL: I`m going to embrace him, say I love you, welcome home and then we`re going to go out and shoot some hoops.

QUIJANO: Now, while the family waits for more news there was an interesting development yesterday. Two Iranian detainees captured by U.S. forces in Iraq were freed, but it`s not clear whether that was related to the American hikers` case --Jeff. GLOR: Elaine Quijano in New York. Elaine, thank you. Still ahead on tonight`s CBS Evening News, the do`s and don`ts of job hunting in the worst employment market in years. GLOR: The job outlook for Americans remains choppy with unemployment at nearly 10 percent. But for teenagers, it`s even worse. One study out this week finds that only one of four teens who wants a job can find one. Jay Dow has more. (BEGIN VIDEOTAPE) JAY DOW, CBS NEWS CORRESPONDENT: If practice makes perfect -- UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: I can handle so many things at once. DOW: Then Eudese Wilans will be ready for that big summer job interview. EUDESE WILANS, SUMMER JOB APPLICANT: To work in a daycare, to work in a school, to work in a summer camp would be my ideal job. DOW: Wilans is being trained on the dos and don`ts by the Boston-based community development organization A.B.C.D. She is one of 1,000 teens all but guaranteed a job chosen by lottery from 7,000 applicants. JOHN DREW, ACTION FOR BOSTON COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT: We need to invest in these youngsters right now. They`re our next generation. It will be woe on us if we do not step up to the plate. DOW: The sad fact is Wilans may be one of the few lucky ones. In 2000, 45 percent of the country`s teens had jobs. That rate has fallen to just 26 percent today, the lowest since the end of World War II. The summer jobs outlook is just as bleak. Only one in four teens will be working. ANDREW SUM, DIRECTOR, CENTER FOR LABOR MARKET STUDIES, NORTHEASTERN UNIVERSITY: The magnitude of these declines are pervasive. They`ve affected every gender group, every race-ethnic group, every family income group across the country. DOW: Andrew Sum of Northeastern University says teens who cannot find a job may also struggle to find work in their 20s. SUM: We are denying them an opportunity to acquire these skills that employers value very highly. DOW: In Brooklyn, with the help of a local jobs program, Robert Cirino and Zaire Williams learned basic job skills, including how to present themselves in public. ROBERT CIRINO, SUMMER JOB APPLICANT: Me being the exception, I`m happy I got my job. DOW: In just a few weeks, both teens will be working as ride operators on the famous Coney Island Boardwalk. ZAIRE WILLIAMS, SUMMER JOB APPLICANT: I`m optimistic about the whole thing. I feel great about it. DOW: In Boston, A.B.C.D. President John Drew says he can do better with more federal funds. DREW: What we need is help from Congress at this point to be able to get the money to get the kids off the streets. (END VIDEOTAPE) DOW: In fact, next week, Congress is expected to vote on $1 billion in funding to create an additional 350,000 teen jobs nationwide. That sounds like a lot, but an estimated three million to four million teens will still be unable to find work this summer -- Jeff. GLOR: All right, Jay Dow. Good to have you here tonight. Still ahead on tonight`s CBS Evening News. One field that is hiring the young, video games. GLOR: If you haven`t heard, this is the 30th anniversary of Pac-man, the hit video game that devoured many hours for many gamers. Video games have come a long way since 1980, but their future seems even brighter, and that is the focus of tonight`s "Weekend Journal," video game designers, the next generation. (BEGIN VIDEOTAPE) Page 193 For May 22, 2010, CBS CBS News Transcripts May 22, 2010 Saturday

GLOR (voice-over): Parents might think these kids are wasting valuable time playing video games when they might be studying. But these college kids are studying at a gaming workshop class. ANDREW PATRAS, STUDENT, DREXEL UNIVERSITY: Having this kind of experience in college definitely gives you a leg up over other students. GLOR: The experience they gain here at the replay lab on the campus of Drexel University in Philadelphia could help them get a job once they graduate. PATRAS: We created the rest of this all by ourselves, all the models, all the characters, all the effects you see in here, we did. GLOR: Using tools like a motion-capture studio and 3-D modeling, Andrew Patras and his classmates are learning the fine art of video game development, a career and a business that is exploding. In 2009, Americans bought more than $20 billion worth of video game systems and software, surpassing even the mighty movie industry at $18.7 billion in box office and DVD sales. PAUL DIEFENBACH, CO-DIRECTOR, DREXEL REPLAY LAB: The entertainment segment of the video game industry is huge. A modern title can make a couple of hundred million dollars in one weekend. GLOR: Tom Bissell, author of the new book, "Extra Live "calls video games the preeminent art form of our time. TOM BISSELL, AUTHOR, "EXTRA LIVES: WHY VIDEO GAMES MATTER": I think we`re really on the verge of, like, a wider acceptance, that it`s not just nerds, or not just geeks that play these things. Some very intelligent, though- tful, smart people are designing them and playing them. GLOR: Today, more than 200 colleges offer gaming courses, training future workers in everything from art design to computer engineering, to feed video game giants like electronic arts, developer of the franchise hits Madden Football and Tiger Woods golf. E.A. will add more than 600 jobs this year. Average starting salary in the business b$40,000. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: A lot of people, this is their first job or one of their first jobs right out of college. GLOR: Phillip Holt is E.A.`s Orlando studio general manager. PHILIP HOLD, ELECTRONIC ARTS: We love university students because they come in, they`re excited, freshly minted skill set. GLOR: It`s a chance to make money, feed their passion, and have a little fun along the way. LAUREN PAONE, ELECTRONIC ARTS: I just didn`t realize how challenging and exciting it would be to actually make a game. I never really thought about where they came from, just played them. (END VIDEOTAPE) GLOR: And you never know where the next inspiration comes from. Pac- man`s designer was spurred by the sight of a pizza with one slice missing. We`ll be right back. GLOR: Thirteen-year-old Jordan Romero of California today became the youngest person to reach the summit of Mount Everest. Amazing. His goal is to climb the tallest mountains on all seven continents. In an ocean voyage inspired by the Contiki`s expedition more than 60 years ago, another adventure tonight is crossing the Pacific Ocean in a vessel called the Plastiki (ph). Here`s John Blackstone. (BEGIN VIDEOTAPE) JOHN BLACKSTONE, CBS NEWS CORRESPONDENT: On board his boat, the Plastiki (ph), now far out of the Pa- cific Ocean, David De Rothschild is calling in via Skype. DAVID DE ROTHSCHILD, FOUNDER, ADVENTURE ECOLOGY: We`re right now thousands of miles from anywhere. I can, in fact, show you a little bit out the window. It`s a pretty calm day today. BLACKSTONE: De Rothschild, an heir to the banking family fortune is about halfway on his voyage from San Fran- cisco to Sydney, Australia, a voyage meant to focus attention on the damage the plastic is doing to the oceans. When we first met him, what is this? Page 194 For May 22, 2010, CBS CBS News Transcripts May 22, 2010 Saturday

ROTHSCHILD: This is the Plastiki (ph). BLACKSTONE: The Plastiki (ph) was still being built in a San Francisco warehouse (inaudible) largely composed recycled plastic water bottles. ROTHSCHILD: So we have 12 and a half thousand of these bottles, which will line these boat heads all the way along the boat. BLACKSTONE: In all, De Rothschild spent more than three years designing and building the Plastiki (ph). Before it was ready for testing on San Francisco Bay. ROTHSCHILD: It doesn`t get much better than this. A beautiful sunny day in San Francisco. BLACKSTONE (on camera): Originally, the plastic bottles were going to provide the entire flotation for this boat. That didn`t quite work out to be seaworthy so now about 70 percent of the buoyancy of the Plastiki (ph) comes from these recycled plastic bottles. You`re in a war against plastic, but this is a plastic boat. ROTHSCHILD: Yes, that`s correct. There are dumb uses of plastic. The water bottles, the soda bottles, the lids, so what we`re trying to advocate is smart material, smart use of plastic. BLACKSTONE (voice-over): Now, 10 weeks into the voyage and thousands of miles out to sea, De Rothschild says he`s finding exactly what he feared. ROTHSCHILD: We dove boat water and your first impression is everything`s fine, and then when you start to look very, very closely in the water and run your hand past the front of your face, you start to see all these little bit of plastic gathering on the front of your hand. BLACKSTONE: Like the old message in a bottle, De Rothschild is hoping his boat made of bottles can deliver a message that the ocean needs help. John Blackstone, CBS News, San Francisco. (END VIDEOTAPE) GLOR: That is the CBS Evening News tonight. Later on CBS, two editions of "48 Hours" mystery. Russ Mitchell will be here tomorrow night. I`m Jeff Glor, CBS News in New York. Good night.

HIGHLIGHT: BP unexpectedly puts off testing on a new containment cap on the leaking oil well in the Gulf. The oil spill and economic worries weigh on President Obama`s popularity. Yankees owner George Steinbrenner who demanded success and nothing less. When it comes to beauty it is hard to improve on Mother Nature. That is unless Mother Nature decides to improve on herself. It turns out that is the case this season at California`s Yosemite National Park.

BETTY NGUYEN: Under Pressure: BP unexpectedly puts off testing on a new containment cap on the leaking oil well in the Gulf. Poll Problems: The oil spill and economic worries weigh on President Obama`s popularity. And Remembering the Boss: Yankees owner George Steinbrenner who demanded success and nothing less. GEORGE STEINBRENNER: You show me a good loser and I`ll show you a loser. This is the CBS MORNING NEWS for Wednesday, July 14, 2010. Good morning everybody and thanks for joining us. I`m Betty Nguyen. All right. So here we go again another snag in efforts to stop the oil leak in the Gulf. It`s unclear why but a critical test of a new containment cap has been postponed. This is a live picture of the leaking well nearly-- nearly a mile below the surface. The testing delay came after BP measured the stability of the seafloor near the gushing oil. Manuel Gallegus reports now from Long Beach, Mississippi. (Begin VT) MANUEL GALLEGUS: A seventy-five-ton cap now sits tightly over the gushing oil leak. BP had planned a series of tests within the next two days to close three valves on the cap in the latest attempt to stop the leak. But now there`s a new hiccup. Federal officials say more analysis is needed before BP can even start the testing. Once the operation gets under way and no new leaks are detected, the cap could temporarily put an end to the gushing oil, at least until a permanent relief well is in place next month. ADMIRAL THAD ALLEN (National Incident Commander for Oil Spill): But the ultimate success of this entire endea- vor will be the relief well. MANUEL GALLEGUS: The government also announced plans for a thousand skimmer ships on the surface by the end of July. Page 196 BP Puts Off New Cap Testing; Presidential Poll Problems; Remembering the Boss, CBS CBS News Transcripts July 14, 2010 Wednesday

At this point, eighty-five days into the disaster, Gulf residents will believe a fix when they see it. And even if the leak is controlled, oil will continue to flow towards shore. LONNIE SIGWORTH: This could be a problem for years to come. MANUEL GALLEGUS: Lonnie Sigworth grew up along the Mississippi shore, which was wiped out by Hurricane Katrina and still has a long way to go to recover. Now the same shoreline is dotted with oil. LONNIE SIGWORTH: Everyone put their heart and soul into getting the coast rebuilt. Then, of course, they had the-- the oil spill that`s going on now that is just --I think it has everyone just very depressed and just really down. MANUEL GALLEGUS: And everyone is hoping BP`s latest attempt will bring an end to what`s become a sadly familiar sight. Manuel Gallegus, CBS News, Long Beach, Mississippi. (End VT) BETTY NGUYEN: A new CBS News poll finds most Americans don`t think President Obama has done a good job of handling the oil spill. Just thirty- seven percent of those asked approve of the President`s response; fifty- three percent, disapprove. And the President`s overall job rating is slipping--his approval rating now at forty-four percent down, three percent from last month. But it is the economy that worries most Americans. Tara Mergener is in Washington with much more on this. Good morning to you, Tara. TARA MERGENER: Good morning to you, Betty. The poll shows that confidence in this area is waning and fellow Democrats now have less than four months to turn things around. (Begin VT) TARA MERGENER: For most Americans, the economy remains job number one. Despite two wars and an expanding disaster in the Gulf, thirty-eight percent of Americans in a new CBS News poll say it`s still the biggest problem facing the Nation. WALTER POWELL (California Resident): A job, period. A job, you know. Most people they can`t get jobs. LORRAINE (New Jersey Resident): I think if he spent as much time on the job crisis and on the American public as he did worrying about the banking industry maybe we would be a little better off right now. TARA MERGENER: Fifty-two percent say the President has spent too little time addressing the issue and sixty-three percent say his economic programs have had no effect on them personally. DAVID MARK (Politico): People are deeply concerned about their own jobs, their families` jobs, their prospects for future jobs. And until people feel like there`s a sustained recovery 0like they have something to look forward to, it`s going to be pretty grim for the President, and he`s going to face some tough political days ahead. TARA MERGENER: While the White House insist the economy needs-- PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA: Good afternoon. TARA MERGENER: --time to right itself, the failure to jump-start it quickly enough poses a major threat for midterm elections. JOHN DICKERSON (CBS News Political Analyst): The President can find encouragement that his fortunes may turn around by the time he`s up for reelection. The people who have to worry are the Democrats who are up in November. (End VT) TARA MERGENER: And the administration is expected to get a big victory very soon. The Senate should vote on the financial reform bill in the next day or two and Democrats do have enough votes to pass it. Betty. BETTY NGUYEN: Tara Mergener joining us live in Washington. Tara, thank you. In New Orleans, six police officers have been charged in a deadly shooting following Hurricane Katrina. After Katrina flooded the city in 2005, police allegedly shot and killed two unarmed men on a bridge. Prosecutors say the officers falsified reports and planted a gun to make it look like a justified shooting. If convicted, four officers could face the death penalty. Two others are charged with aiding in the cover-up. Page 197 BP Puts Off New Cap Testing; Presidential Poll Problems; Remembering the Boss, CBS CBS News Transcripts July 14, 2010 Wednesday

An Iranian nuclear scientist who defected to the U.S. apparently is on his way back home to Iran this morning. Shahram Amiri faces an uncertain future with Iran`s hard-line leadership. But in an interview with Iranian TV, he said he can explain everything that`s happened to him over the past fourteen months. Amiri once said that he was kidnapped by the CIA, then retracted that claim. BETTY NGUYEN: The so-called Barefoot Bandit is back in the U.S. Colton Harris-Moore arrived in Miami to face prosecution for what authorities say was a two-year string of break-ins and thefts across the U.S. He was captured in the Bahamas and he`ll be in court of Miami today and eventually taken to Seattle, where he will-- where he was indicted. Three more American troops have been killed in Afghanistan. A car bomb slammed into the entrance of police headquarters in Kandahar. And attackers followed firing machine guns and rocket-propelled grenades. Five Afghans were also killed in that attack. On the CBS MoneyWatch markets in Asia are up sharply this morning. Ashley Morrison is in New York with the latest on that. Good morning, Ashley. ASHLEY MORRISON: And good morning to you, Betty. Well, a huge day in Asia. Japan`s Nikkei jumped more than two and a half percent to hit a three-week high, while Hong Kong`s Hang Seng was up about one percent. Today Wall Street gets the latest retail sales numbers. Tuesday, strong corporate earnings fueled a triple-digit rally. The Dow surged a hundred and forty-six points, while the NASDAQ gained forty-three. Today the Federal Reserve is expected to announce a reduced forecast of how much the economy is growing. State budget problems and Europe`s debt crisis has the Fed increasingly concerned despite the recent run-up in stocks. What the Fed can do to spark more growth is up for debate since they`ve already cut interest rates to record low levels. It`s reported that dozens of incidents of unintended acceleration in Toyotas may have actually been the driver`s fault. Toyota recalled more than eight and a half million cars due to faulty gas pedals. The Wall Street Journal reports, the Department of Transportation found that in dozens of the crashes, the throttle was opened and the brakes not engaged. A third of middle-income workers will likely run out of money after twenty years of retirement. A report from the Em- ployee Benefit Research Institute says saving too little and poor planning for health care costs will leave many unable to pay their basic living expenses. There is some hope, though. The study also found that workers who use Automatic 401(k) plans significantly decreased their chance of running out of savings. And if you`re a big Roy Rogers fan today is the day. His horse trigger goes on the auction block here in New York, and is expected to rope in as much as two hundred thousand dollars. The King of Cowboys had him stuffed after he died. And if that`s not your style, Rogers` dog bullet is also available. And, Betty, I`m thinking that horse would look pretty good at your place. BETTY NGUYEN: Yeah, right. I don`t even have closet space. Where in the world am I going to put a horse? Which makes me wonder-- ASHLEY MORRISON (overlapping): Right there. BETTY NGUYEN: --who buys that anyways? I mean, hey, if it`s like a museum or something, I get it. But if you`re a private owner, where in the world do you put that? ASHLEY MORRISON: It-- it`s a conversation piece when people come over, right? BETTY NGUYEN: Nonetheless. All right, Ashley, joining us live here in New York. Thank you. Just ahead on the MORNING NEWS, baseball remembers the boss, George Steinbrenner. Plus wildfires in the West scorch open land and threaten homes in several states. First, though, Katie Couric has a preview of tonight`s CBS EVENING NEWS. KATIE COURIC: BP`s new cap was good news to many Gulf Coast residents but will this latest effort finally do the trick? I`ll be live from the Gulf tonight only on the CBS EVENING NEWS. (ANNOUNCEMENTS) Page 198 BP Puts Off New Cap Testing; Presidential Poll Problems; Remembering the Boss, CBS CBS News Transcripts July 14, 2010 Wednesday

BETTY NGUYEN: Its wildfire season in the dry and windy West. In Southern California voluntary evacuations were issued for dozens of homes as firefighters battled the flames and smoke on steep hillsides in Ventura County. Several other wildfires in California and in other western states are burning out of control. In Philadelphia, a dramatic water rescue. A firefighter put a harness on a man so he could be pulled to safety from a railroad bridge support. The man had been trapped for about two hours because of flooding. Later today an FDA panel is expected to rule on whether to pull the once popular diabetes drug Avandia off the market. The committee opened two days of hearings yesterday on evidence that Avandia can cause heart attacks and strokes. Bloomberg News reports that Avandia`s manufacturer, GlaxoSmithKline, has agreed to pay four hundred sixty million dollars to settle thousands of lawsuits. Recently released internal documents indicate the company knew about the problems years ago but said nothing. DR. STEVEN NISSEN (Cardiologist, Cleveland Clinic): The drug should be withdrawn from the market as soon as possible. Everyday that goes by more people are hurt. BETTY NGUYEN: GlaxoSmithKline says the documents were taken out of context and that Avandia is safe. A private funeral is expected to be held later this week for New York Yankees owner George Steinbrenner. He died Tuesday after a massive heart attack. Steinbrenner is being remembered as a tough, unforgiving boss with a soft side. Armen Keteyian reports. (Begin VT) ARMEN KETEYIAN (CBS News Chief Investigative Correspondent): He was one of a kind, bombastic, overbearing, but never dull--the boss with a capital B. GEORGE STEINBRENNER (1980): I`m not a leader who wants the love of my men necessarily. I would rather have the respect of them. ARMEN KETEYIAN: The son of a shipping magnate, George M. Steinbrenner III, bought the struggling New York Yankees from CBS for ten millions dollars in 1973; building it into a 1.6-billion-dollar brand and the world`s most famous sports franchise one-way-- GEORGE STEINBRENNER: All right, what else did you look at? ARMEN KETEYIAN: --his way. BILL MADDEN (Author, The Last Lion Baseball): George was the Yankees. I mean he-- he was involved in every aspect of it-- of the Yankees from the boardrooms to the bathrooms. GEORGE STEINBRENNER: He and the players deserve all the credit. ARMEN KETEYIAN: Every last detail devoted to what Steinbrenner craved above all else--winning. GEORGE STEINBRENNER: You show me a good loser and I`ll show you a loser. ARMEN KETEYIAN: Steinbrenner had his own problems. He was twice banned from baseball, the first time in 1974 after pleading guilty to making illegal contributions to President Nixon`s reelection campaign. He was later pardoned by President Ronald Reagan. In 1990, he was banned again, this time for paying forty thousand dollars to a confessed gambler to dig up dirt on star outfielder Dave Winfield. The two locked in a bitter dispute over his contract. Born on the Fourth of July, Steinbrenner was a patriot and loved all things military, reveling in the style of his hero George S. Patton while taking deep pride in the Yankee uniform. GEORGE STEINBRENNER: When you put the pinstripes on, you`re not just putting the baseball uniform on, you`re wearing tradition and you`re wearing pride. And you`re going to wear it the right way. ARMEN KETEYIAN: For all his blusters, Steinbrenner quietly contributed millions to charity, silently funding college tuitions and life-saving operations for strangers he read about in the New York newspapers. MAN #4: Welcome The Boss, Mister George Steinbrenner. ARMEN KETEYIAN: His health failing, he`d mellowed in recent years, ceding control of the team to his sons. But still The Boss never lost his love for his Yankees or the fans who loved him back. George Steinbrenner, an American origi- nal, dead at the age of eighty. Page 199 BP Puts Off New Cap Testing; Presidential Poll Problems; Remembering the Boss, CBS CBS News Transcripts July 14, 2010 Wednesday

Armen Keteyian, CBS News, New York. (End VT) (ANNOUNCEMENTS) BETTY NGUYEN: Now a check-- for a check of the national forecast. The latest satellite picture shows scattered clouds over the Southwest, while storms are moving through the Northeast. Later today, there could be severe storms in the Northern Plains. Another hot day in the Southeast with temperatures hitting triple digits and the rain tapers off in the Northeast. In sports, baseball remembered the late New York Yankees owner George Steinbrenner. He was honored before last night`s All-Star game in California with a moment of silence. Shortstop Derek Jeter and other Yankees players wore black armbands to mourn the man who owned the team for thirty-seven years. As for the game with the bases loaded in the seventh inning, Atlanta Braves All-Star catcher Brian McCann doubled into the right field corner. That brought in all three base runners and the National League went on to a three on-- run-- 3-1 victory. Easy for me to say. It was the AL`s first All-Star game win since 1996. And it means the National League team will have home-field advantage in the World Series. Finally, it is reported cyclist Lance Armstrong is being investigated for doping again as Armstrong competes in the Tour de France. The New York Times reports that federal subpoenas are going out to witnesses. They may include disgraced cyclist Floyd Landis, an admitted doper who claims Armstrong also used performance-enhancing drugs. When we return another look at this morning`s top stories. And Yosemite National Park, why this summer is more spectacular than ever. (ANNOUNCEMENTS) BETTY NGUYEN: Here`s another look at some of our top stories today. Critical tests on a new cap to contain the Gulf oil leak have been delayed. Officials say more analysis is needed and it`s not clear with when the test will start. And a Senate vote on the administration`s financial reform measure could come as early as tomorrow. Democrats say they have the sixty votes needed to overcome a Republican filibuster. When it comes to beauty it is hard to improve on Mother Nature. That is unless Mother Nature decides to improve on herself. It turns out that is the case this season at California`s Yosemite National Park. John Blackstone explains. (Begin VT) JOHN BLACKSTONE: While it`s hard to believe the grandeur of Yosemite Valley could be improved upon, this summer it`s true. Nature has made this national park famous for its breathtaking views even more magnificent than usual and it`s all because of the water. CARLY BORIS (Park Visitor): And there`s so much water, yeah. It`s-- there`s a lot of water. JOHN BLACKSTONE: Often by early July, many of the valley`s waterfalls including the tallest, Yosemite falls aren`t there at all. They`ve run dry. But this year, water is still pouring down the two-thousand-four-hundred- twenty-five-foot drop that makes Yosemite falls the fifth highest waterfall in the world. The source is heavier than usual snow, a hundred fifteen percent of normal that fell in the Sierra, Nevada, this winter. GIRL: We had a lot of snow. JOHN BLACKSTONE: Then a cooler than usual spring saved the big runoff for the height of tourist season. What makes this more impressive is that it comes after several years of below-normal snowfall that left many of Yosemite`s falls dry before summer even arrived. But this year, the roar of the falls into the valley below could last well into Au- gust. DAVE ANGELES: Without the water-- it`s-- it`s still spectacular, but without the water it`s just not the same. You want to get wet. You expect to get wet. JOHN BLACKSTONE: And this year, visitors absolutely get wet. Spray from the falls is leaving hikers drenched. The mist is also making Yosemite a valley of rainbows providing proof that at the end of the rainbow there sometimes is a treasure.

John Blackstone, CBS News, Yosemite Valley. (End VT) BETTY NGUYEN: That is simply gorgeous. Well, this morning on THE EARLY SHOW, Katie Couric reports from the Gulf. I`m Betty Nguyen. This is the CBS MORNING NEWS.
