Tom frieden is promising a full review of the incident, the latest in a string of pledges to upgrade safety. Cbs medical correspondent jon lapook says this latest raises questions about the agencys standard. Theres always going to be human error no matter what you do. So the trick is, when human error occurs, can you have some set of failsafes that the problem will be caught. Reporter frieden said he was troubled and no risk to staff is acceptable. To have this happen and put our workers potentially at risk is totally unacceptable. Reporter that was frieden in july, after it had been revealed the cdc accidentally contaminated flu samples with the deadly bird flu virus. In june the agency admitted lab workers may have been exposed to live anthrax after it wasnt properly deactivated. Those samples had even been transferred between labs in ziploc bags, a breach of protocols. In congressional hearings frieden promised, quote, speeping measures to change the lax culture. Cdc put together a panel of outside Safety Experts and even temporarily shut down some labs.

There was one estimate from the National Retail federation that spooked everyone. Oh, my gosh, sales dropped 11 . The problem is that survey is completely unscientific. Its, how much did you spend last year . How much are you going to spend this year . Nobody can tell you what they spent yesterday. The news has been pretty good. Traffic may be down. The online sales are surging. Thats what we do now. When do you think well hit that Tipping Point . Everyone i speak to say they go online but then i look at the numbers and its still the brick and mortars. Brick and mortar still accounts for 80 of sales but its growth rate. Comsales says through december 23rd weve seen a 15 increase in online sales. Thats a big number. Thats going to keep growing. Its going to be a few years before online takes over. Another thing thats interesting, brick and Mortar Stores got smart, they said, go online, order it, pick it up in store and you will see your present is there. Thats a good idea. I have to say i was Walking Around Christmas Eve for those lastminute gifts, in the rain thinking, what idiot does that . The answer is, me. When we will know really how this season worked out . End of january. Well get governments report out for retail sales on january 30th. The other thing that happens is we get Quarterly Results from retailers themselves. Thats the interesting part because we know what the sales figures are but only in the quarterly reports can we say, did you slash prices so much that youre no longer profitable . Thats a key question this christmas. Who really has the deals . For me, i take the gift receipts, i go back. I feel like i often get a better deal. Shopping starts today. Youre quite savvy. Apparel, home goods and if you want to get your sweetheart an end table, i guess Home Goods Stores are really rocking it. Another thing thats amazing, cars. Really . If you are looking to buy a car in the next few days, you may be able to bargain your way to an amazing deal. All these dealerships are trying to get the old inventory off the lots about the i end of the year. If only i could bring you with. I feel like jill can negotiate a mean deal.

Were in the thick of the holiday movie season and california isnt the only place making movie magic anymore. Anna werner shows us how much of the lights, cameras and actions moved thousands of miles away from hollywood. Ive been looking for you, lone star. Reporter the hollywood you know is changing. Dallas buyers club, 12 years a slave, all of these werent filmed in california. They were made here, in louisiana. Thats right. Reporter in fact the bayou state is now the Film Production capital of the world with 18 feature films released, more than runnersup canada and california. Its very difficult to justify shooting in california when you have these type of incentives. Reporter he isnt talking about louisianas Cajun Cuisine or night life. Hes talking about money. In 2002 louisiana began offering a unique tax credit. 30 for productions shot in the state. Movie producers can get even more money back by hiring local crews. Coming here, the tax credit is a big draw, for sure, because you get to actually put funds back into the production. Reporter and other states are taking notice. A total of 39 now offer some sort of filmrelated tax incentive. And it seems hollywood is feeling the pressure. Next year california hopes to bring back the lost business with newly expanded tax credits of up to 25 . But nor now, louisiana remains ahead of the attack g. I. Joe retaliation was filmed in the big easy in 2011 and received 30 million in tax credits. The big key is having enough room to support the movies. Reporter Green Lantern first of the first big budget films to be filmed in new orleans after hurricane katrina. When it came time to do Green Lantern, i thought of louisiana, i was familiar with their program and i knew it could work financially but i wasnt sure if it could work creatively. Reporter it worked. Following Green Lantern, Box Office Hits like 21 jump street, Pitch Perfect were all filmed in louisiana. People come down here for six to nine months sometimes on a movie and it increases the economy. Reporter with potential blockbusters in the worngs for 205, it seems big movies in the big easy are here to stay. Reporting for cbs, anna werner. I knew new orleans had gont big. I didnt realize it had gotten a that big. Did you notice theres a lot of plots set there . Coming up, a year of legalized pot from sales taxes to the symphony see how it changed colorado and why the battle is not over yet. Thats ahead on cbs this morning. Why do i cook for the to share with family to carry on traditions to come together, even when were apart in stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy, and more, swanson® makes holiday dishes delicious cough if you can hear me.

Eliminate odors youve gone noseblind to for up to 30 days with the febreze car vent clip. Female passenger wow. Smells good in here. Vo so you and your passengers can breathe happy. Thats the way i look at life. Looking for something better. Especially now that i live with a higher risk of stroke due to afib, a type of irregular heartbeat, not caused by a heart valve problem. I was taking warfarin, but wondered if i kept digging, could i come up with something better. My doctor told me about eliquis. For three Important Reasons. One, in a clinical trial, eliquis was proven to reduce the risk of stroke better than warfarin. Two, eliquis had less major bleeding than warfarin. And three, unlike warfarin, theres no routine blood testing. Dont stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. Eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. Dont take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. While taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer than usual for any bleeding to stop. Seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. Eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. Tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. Those three Important Reasons are why eliquis is a better find for me. Ask your doctor today if eliquis is right for you. Next thursday marks one year since colorado allowed marijuana. Now they face a lawsuit from nebraska. They want them to rule marijuana as unconstitutional because of the impact on neighboring states. Reporter if skeptics wondered about the popularity of pot, on january 1st, colorado residents answered with their wallets. Lines on the first day stretched arent the block. Were sort of like explorers. Reporter colorados governor, john hickenlooper, who opposed marijuana, was still skeptical. We sat down with him. Are you still happy with it in the sense and the way its unfolding . Sure. I think almost every elected official in colorado, we didnt want to be the social laboratory. Our voters passed it by a large margin, 5 45, and we accept this is going to be one of the great social experiments of the next 50 years. Reporter colorado now has 800 outlets. Denver alone has more pot shops than starbucks. John studies government policy at brookings institute. These days means watching marijuana trends. Theres clearly a profit motive among producers. Theyre not in the business to deliver some public good in the form of marijuana. At the same time, states have found there is a selling point around the taxation of marijuana thats an important part of passing these initiatives. Reporter indeed, selling pot is putting a lot of taxes into the revenue pot, at state and local levels. The state took in more than 43 million in the first nine months. Local cities collected millions more. But high times have come with some low points. Like how to regulate edibles, products like kaentd infused with marijuana. It allegedly led to the suicide of a visiting College Student who overdosed and jumped to his death. Some things evolved as the year went on. Like testing. At the outset it was voluntary which brought us to buyologist jen murmurry. She tests pot. What dont i want to ingest . We have found molds, mildews, e. Coli. Reporter no wonder testing is now mandatory. Four states and the District Of Columbia have okayed pot for recreational use. More than 30 states allow sales for some form of medical use. What the success does show is a state can do this and the sky doesnt fall. That society doesnt fall apart or go into crisis. Reporter on the contrary, it went classical. In denver, the colorado symphony made pot pay and raised money by bring your own marijuana partner. Proof that colorados first year that the days of reefer madness have gone way to marijuana going main stream. For cbs this morning, barry petersen, denver. I lived and worked in denver for a koem couple years as a reporter. I talked to a friend who still lives there and he says twice hes tried to cross state lines and twice hes been pulled over, officers wanting to know if hes transporting marijuana. Theyre trying to find these people bringing it across state lines. Coming up, the next exit, well show you why some drivers may have been on the lookout for chevy chase on Christmas Day.

Well take it, vet tore crashes thank you, next update at 8 25, next on cbs this baby youre a fire work come on show them its friday, december 26, 2014. Welcome back to cbs this morning. More real news ahead, including the release of the controversial film the interview and what it could mean for the future of hollywood. First, heres a look at todays eye opener at 8. Americans turned out to see this film. Some even say watching it was like taking a political stand. A group called lizard squad claimed responsibility for the attack on Sonys Playstation Network and microsofts xbox. Authorities say they investigated 40 threats against new york city officers resulting in six arrests. The material that potentially contained live ebola were destroyed before officials even discovered the problem. U. S. Combat mission officially ends on december 31st. The president thanked the troops for their service. A lot of retailers saying the news has been pretty good. Traffic may be down. Online sales are surging. A lot of people are calling this a christmas miracle. No inn, no manager, just a woman who went into birth on the subway. Talk about not being on your birth plan. At 11,000 feet there are blizzard warnings but here in oahu its 70 degrees and the only thing reminding us of a White Christmas is the sand. Youre making us jealous. New York City Police are preparing to say final goodbyes this morning to one of their own. The family of rafael ramos visited a memorial on christmas night near where the officer was killed.

President obama spent part of his holiday thanking Service Members during his hawaiian vacation. He made a stop thursday at Marine Corps Base hawaii with the first lady. I know that i speak for everybody in the entire country when we say we salute you, all right . And i hope you guys had a wonderful time. I gather santa made some pretty good stops. Ive gotten some, you know, reconnaissance, a little information. Theres been all kinds of stuff thats been dropped off. So, i suspect the kids will be busy for quite some time. The president s message comes as the combat mission in afghanistan officially ends this month. The controversial movie the interview is opening in even more theaters this morning. These were the lines at independent theaters on Christmas Day. Many theaters reported sellouts. The line wrapped around this theater in kentucky. Movie goers have given the comedy mixed reviews but many say they attend screenings to stand up for free speech. This morning hollywood is watching to see if the groundbreaking distribution for the interview could be a model. Peter lattman is with us. Good morning. I dont think this is how they wanted to release the movie but how has it worked out . You could call it an accidental experiment. I think were hearing Box Office Receipts were 1 million on Christmas Day. Remember, this movie is only being released in about 300 theaters. It planned to be released in about 2,000 theaters. Its a much more motdest release than they had planned. If im Sony Pictures or a company who releases movies, i see the benefit of releasing it in two forms. If im a movie theaters, im not happy. The big chains are the linchpins. Its only the independent theater chains releasing the movie at the same time you could see it at home on google or microsofts online video systems. So, in some ways this is a unique experiment. As you say, hollywood is watching closely to see how it does. Theyve talked about doing this for a long time. They didnt want to anger the theaters. Sls there any evidence it works . Youve seen modified work. Youll see netflix with crouching tiger hidden dragon. You havent seen a big major Motion Picture released at the same time. They think the online viewing will cannobolze big theaters. As with many of these stories, profits are ultimately what everyone is waiting to see. How long do you think it will be if we see profits are better for this movie for companies, Production Companies, to say, lets make this pivot, lets see if it really works . There was outsized publicity for the interview so lots of people are going to see it. People were singing God Bless America before the screening. This is unique. Nevertheless, people are going to the theater. I went yesterday and i could have stayed home and rented this movie for 5 but i went with my family and paid nearly 100. The moviegoing experience still persists but i think our grandchildren are going to say, wait, you had to wait a long time to see a movie online before going or you had to go to the theater beforehand . I think it will change but it will take time. Do you think big theater chains may regret they chose not to show this film because it pushed up simultaneously releasing this film . I think in retrospect, possibly. The movie does seem popular. Lets face it, there was a terror threat. These facts and circumstances are totally unique. I think well have to wait to see a normal example to see if hollywood really changes its way. 100 bucks for your family, thats enough tickets, popcorn, soda, it adds up. Thank you for being with us. Ahead on cbs this morning, president obamas passion for eating out. Hot sauce. Got to be hot. You have to have some coleslaw around here.
