justice served. elena kagan set to be sworn in this weekend as confirmed as president obama's appointment to the supreme court. what will her impact on the court be? school bus tragedy. two buses filled of school kids outside st. louis, killing two. we'll hear from survivors. the voice of a killer. >> they treat me bad over here and treat all other black employees bad over here, too, so i took it into my own hands and handled the problem. i wish i could have got more of the people. >> officials release the 911

call from oe mrmar thornton. 105 in little rock. 104 in dallas. as heat advisesry leads. we have the latest forecast for you this august 6, 2010. a very good friday morning to you. i'm erica hill. >> we've got the heat in the headlines. wyclef jean, the big music superstar, announced this week he's running for president of haiti. we've got an exclusive interview this morning. our betty nguyen sat down with wyclef and talked to him about what his plans are. >> looking forward to that. first, we to want get you to

this. supreme court justice elena kagan will be sworn in tomorrow, as president obama latest supreme court nomination. jan crawford joins us from washington. the confirmation was pretty much expected, but very divisive at the same time. >> that's exactly right, erica. it was basically a foregone conclusion she would have had a major misstep. she didn't. democrats have a solid majority in the senate and she got all but one to supporter, in addition to five republicans. like you said, that vote was largely on party line. that's just a fact of life in these modern supreme court confirmation hearings. the days of justices getting confirmed, 96-3, as justice ruth bader ginsburg was, those days are over. >> long gone. she isn't expected to balance the court very much but she comes into this position bringing -- or setting historic precedence, i should say. >> that's true. some of them she may not like so

much. she did get more no votes than any other supreme court nominee put forward by a democratic president who got confirmed and still the only supreme court judge without any previous person. it will mark the first time in history that three women will serve on that nine-member court. only three but that's still progress. >> yes, it is. the swearing in comes tomorrow and then she has to get to work. >> she does. she's never been a judge, so she has to get her clerks together, start reading cases. the court comes back on the first monday of october. she has a lot to learn, a lot of catching up to do to take the seat of justice stevens. she won't change the balance of the court that much when she sit in that seat but she'll hold that seat for a generation. >> what do you think is the biggest thing people are

expecting from her? >> they expect her to be a solid liberal vote. dazzling intellect, former dean of harvard law school. they hope, certainly the obama administration hopes, she'll be a force, that she'll be a leading voice for the liberals. like i said, that court is closely divided. you have four liberals and four conservatives. and then there's that key swing justice vote in the middle they're always fighting over. so, the obama administration hopes she'll be able to persuade him to go over to the left side a little more and get some of those cases more in the left column. >> everybody will be watching very closely. of course, they're always so surprised as they come along. >> oh, that's the truth. >> jan crawford, thanks. now to the disturbing final word of the man who killed eight coworkers at a connecticut beer warehouse as cbs news national correspondent jim axelrod reports, the gunman kaild called 911 from the crime scene just moment before he killed himself. >> this is omar thornton, the shooter over in manchester.

>> reporter: the chilling 911 call from omar thornton lasted a little more than four minutes. >>. >> you probably want to know why i shot this place up. it's a racist place. >> yeah, i understand that. >> they treat me bad over here. treat all black employees bad over here so i took it in my own hands and solved the problem. >> you're not going to surrender yourself? >> no, they're coming to get me. >> reporter: he called from inside the beer distribution center. the 911 operator pleaded with him to surrender. >> we don't want any more, you know, people to lose their life there. >> i'm not going to kill nobody else. tell my people i love them and i are to go now. >> omar, if you work with me we'll get this to stop. okay? omar? >> reporter: company officials for hartford sdriber deny his

claims of racism saying he never filed any complaints of discrimination. jim axelrod, cbs news, new york. >> what a chilling story. went into the union meeting, resigns, comes out and says he's getting his lunchbox. when he got his lunchbox is when he got his guns. >> awful story. new st. louis this morning, a tragic story. two people dead after a horrific pile up, two school buses packed with kids. cbs news correspondent ben tracy joining us with the latest on thursday's crash. ben, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, erica. this was supposed to be a fun field trip for members of a local high school band but instead 40 of them, nearly 40, ended up at this hospital in st. louis after their school buses were involved in a terrifying crash. if you saw this along the road, you couldn't help but stop and stare in disbelief. >> i seen it but i didn't see it. it happened so fast. >> reporter: two buses, the cab of a semi, and a mangled mess of

a pick uptruck that was once a pickup truck. the driver, daniel schatz. his father sent him out for an accident when the accident happened. >> he was a good kid. >> reporter: jessica brinker, a member of the st. james high school band, was on the first bus. >> it's a horrible day if our community and will be felt forever. >> reporter: buses, one with boys, one with girls, was just miles from the six flags amusement park when the day turned deadly. >> we saw a tire fly by. >> reporter: the highway patrol says a semi, heading east, slowed down for road construction. the pickup truck driver slammed into it. the bus driver didn't see it happen when she crashed into the back, and moment later the second crashed into the back. they used metal ladders to help kids escape.

yet given this scene it's amazing more people did not die. >> all right. what's hurting on you? back of your neck? >> reporter: nearly 40 students were taken to the hospital but with only minor injuries as they were reunited with their anxious parents, krans were brought in to disassemble the wreck. now, a lot of people are wondering if there were seat belts on this school bus. we're told there were not. in fact, there are not seat belts in post school buss in this country. the ntsb already has a team here in st. louis. they'll begin their investigation today. we're told that should last just about two weeks. erica? >> ben tracy in st. louis this morning, thanks. all right. there is a shakeup this morning in president obama's economic team. christina romer, head of the president's council of economic advisers, will resign next month as she returns to college for teaching. as she leaves, figures show an increase in people applying for unemployment benefits, aed that

of the jobs report due out this morning. cbs news correspondent rebecca jarvis joins us this morning. >> hi, harry. >> what do we make of this report? >> we expect to hear the report will show the economy lost jobs in the month of july. 70,000 jobs are expected to be lost in the month of july. we expect to hear that unemployment ticked back up to 9.6%. we heard from timothy goeter in, we can expect higher unemployment for some time to come. >> it's going to go from 9.3% to 9.6%. there was this anticipation through the spring and into summer that maybe we'll see a gradual downturn. this has to be bad news, especially for the chronically unemployed. >> it's definitely bad news but also the number account for the census workers, the temporary workers who came on board over the last couple of months. a number of them, their jobs have concluded. as a result of that, they're back in the unemployment work force -- or unemployed, and now

we're seeing that number refl t reflected in you'll's number. >> any good news out there on the horizon? >> what we can say is good news, in the auto industry ford announced this week they are taking on new workers, 27% more than what was anticipated earlier this year. so, that's some positivity in a field of limited positivity. >> also general motors talking about really wanting to get out from under the thumb of the federal government, which bailed them out a year ago or so. >> that is the case. we're expecting to hear they're going to ipo, go public again in the next couple of weeks here, harry, and we'll are that story for you soon. >> rebecca jarvis, thanks. let's get more news. jeff glor is -- i know, i know, he's right there. >> i'm here. >> how are you doing? >> i'm well. how are you, harry? >> good to see you. good morning. we'll begin with the deadly heat wave that has killed more than a dozen people in the south. with hot weather comes storms as well as like the powerful thunderstorms that hit washington, d.c. yesterday with heavy rain and damaging winds.

through. >> reporter: rudy's office issued a brief statement. quote, this is a personal matter and mayor giuliani asks the media to respect the privacy of his daughter at this time. it's widely believed the 20-year-old is estranged from her father since their parents divorced in 2002. caroline faces petty larceny charges and due in court august 31st. those charges will likely be dropped because the store is refusing to press charges. >> also this week, former usa shopped with shoplifting cosmetics from a target store in texas. with here on why young people steal, even when they don't need to, dr. jennifer hartstein. >> good morning. >> people in the public eye, people from seemingly well-to-do backgrounds who don't need to steal, what drives them to do this? >> it's a good question. we're asking it a lot, certainly in this situation. there's many reasons that they may do it. they found in research that a third of people who shop lift

have depression. so, is there a mental health reason behind it? is there an entitlement factor we have to wonder about, well, i just deserve, it i'm going to take it, do that and keep moving forward. >> i want to get back to -- entitlement i want to tackle. depression, a third of people -- but two-third of the other shoplifters -- >> two-third that don't. there are other reasons. there's about three. one is it's a substitute for a loss. something happens and then they feel like they need to replace it, so they go and take things. the second thing is, justified payback, which could be something we're talking about with caroline giuliani, is getting back at a parent, getting back at someone who does something to hurt you and getting back at them by trying to embarrass them? >> embarrass them. like, look what her father did to new york, reduce crime, what's the best payback? get caught stealing. the third one is as a relief mechanism. it's to relieve some anxiety or negative sense of self, some negative feelings, similarly to someone who might drink, someone

who might self-injure. it helps decrease ee mogul disregulation and makes them feel better. >> harmful behavior like self-mutilation or shoplifting? they see that as -- >> it gives them a rush, it might give them the boost they need to make themselves feel more regulated and feel better. >> interesting when you think about these things. you mention this sense of entitlement. there's so much talk about kids these days, they don't know how to work for thing. no matter their background, there is a sense of entitlement with a lot of kids and young adults. as a parent, how do you keep that from happening with your own child? >> a couple things to do. first, you want to teach them what your raulz are and teep them what the consequences are if these things happen. you want to hammer that point home. you want to teach them how to give back. they can't have everything, but the things they don't use, give to people less of the. thirdly, i think you want to talk to them about how they are going to earn things. how are they going to get what they want? how do you give it to them and

what do you need to do? >> and how shoplifting can hurt any of those plans. >> absolutely, especially at 20. it will be on your record, a bigger problem. so, you have to think about that. >> good to have you with us. >> thanks. and dave price standing by with another check of the weather. >> all right, erica. 7:34 right now, let's go to the maps and take a look at temperatures across the country.

u.s. but no one is dismissing the possibility. >> bob orr, thanks. a follow-up on the case of a home invasion victim who got help by typing with her toes. a suspect has now been arrested. amy windham said an intruder tied her up tuesday morning. she got help by using her toes and a power cord to type a message to her boyfriend. now a 17-year-old robbery suspect was arrested during a traffic stop and later he was picked out of a line-up. all right. back outside now. dave price has another check of the weather. mr. price? >> yes. yes, yes, i'm sorry. >> that's rude. >> let me say for the record, i was cued, the floor directors did their job. i was engrossed in

in spanish palaces and staying in a five-star resort, but bulk of the cost to taxpayers for the first lady's vacation is for her security detail and the plane that flew her, her daughter and some 40 guests to spain. an estimated $230,000 so far. for that, and also for the appearance of this trip, michelle obama is being called a modern day marie antoinette, glamming it up while americans struggle with recession and unemployment at home. >> ouch. that seems a bit harsh. sure, if i were the president's political advisers this would not have been my top vacationsnags but let's not get too carried away. >> i think it shows questionable judgment. >> reporter: in fact, mrs. obama and her guests are picking up their own personal expenses, including accommodation, and of course incidentals like the cost of shopping in the boutiques, however the public cost of the trip will climb this weekend when mrs. obama switches into her official role to host a

charity ball and visit spanish royal family at their palace on a private island. the bill for those events will be picked up by the white house. elizabeth palmer, cbs news, london. >> republican strategist leslie sanchez, author of "you've come a long way, maybe," and tonya acker. good to have you with us this morning. >> thank you. >> leslie, i want to start with you. always good to have you with us. the first lady paying for the personal parts of this vacation with her own funds. she's going to be there in an official capacity later anyway, why the big deal if she's tacking on time ahead of time with her own money? >> sure. i think the bottom line answer is optics matter. first ladies wield a tremendous amount of influence behind the scenes and they're the perception of the administration. at i time when we're seeing 9.6 unemployment, people are losing their homes, it doesn't convey that she senses the plight of working families.

the more of a narrative that many of his critics push that they're an elitist administration, thumbing their nose at working families. >> perception is so important here and something this first family knows of a little too well. the first lady just recently on the gulf coast saying, come here, it's a grit place to vacation but ends up in spain. do you think that they just completely missed the public perception part of this trip? >> well, i think there's no question but that every political family want to avoid the inop tune photo op and that's what we have here. i also think americans are a little more mist indicated than we give them credit for. mrs. obama's husband is leading an administration that just fought for jobless benefit. at the end of the day, americans who are struggling really care whether or not jobless benefits will continue, whether the first lady went to the beach, quite frankly. >> if you talk to folks, they

say this is the i quif lent of ceo of several banks ask for a bail outand use resources -- >> that's a harsh parallel. >> it's one a lot of admirers and critics draw together. they say, if you like spain, the culture g to new mexico. americans are very concerned about building the strength of the economic environment right now. and i think every bit of that, including the influence of the first lady, really matters. >> ton, yeya, i'll let you resp. we know the first lady can help humanize the president and yet there is this backlash now. >> no question. look, i think we liked it when she was wear a talbot's dress, but by the same token i'm uncomfortable with the notion that to be a good american, you are to surrender your passport and not leave the border, but if i was advising her might i have said, maybe we take a different trip? sure. but i'm not.

>> michelle obama's poll numbers have been pretty good. you want to look to your first lady, obviously, to help humanize your president but there's also a certain amount of glamour that americans like in their first lady, exhibit a, jacqueline kennedy. is it so wrong to are a first lady who may want to, perhaps, explore some annual things and introduce americans to different thing? >> sure, not at all. michelle obama to her credit has done important thing, mom in chief, talking about family, talking about working moms in many senses, being a professional mom before this role and also her approachability and fashion style. this is tone deaf when it comes to the economic reality of families. >> well, i have a feeling it will be one of many thing we continue to discuss as we gear up for november, even if president obama is not ready for re-election yet. lesscy sanchez, tonya acker, appreciate you being with us. just ahead, casual friday. we'll help you find the right look for the end of week.

friday is one day many americans let loose when they get ready for work. now there's a growing backlash to casual friday. we visited one office to see what is appropriate and what is not. >> reporter: with the stifling summer heat office workers are increasingly dressing down, especially on casual friday. >> sagging jeans, tight jeans -- >> reporter: things got a little too casual for sid, a partner at this manhattan law firm. he sent out a summer dress code memo, banning beach wear for the ladies, requiring socks for the men and no jeans, period. >> if you don't have the proper attitude as you come to work, how will you have the proper attitude at work? >> reporter: sid decided to take me on a surprise staff wardrobe. she's wearing denim. >> no, it's a skirt. >> reporter: are you wearing socks? >> of course i am. >> reporter: he's wearing socks. good? >> she always looks good.

>> reporter: is sid taking this too seriously or is being too casual a distraction? >> i think some people have taken it a little too far. a good rule of thumb, unless you're a lifeguard, if it works at the beach or poolside, then it dent cut it at the office. >> reporter: before i left the button-up law firm i asked if my outfit would pass. >> everything is wrong. >> reporter: how many rules am i breaking? >> showing too much skin, first of all. >> reporter: this has to be higher? >> yes. jeans are jeans. i don't are to say anything more than they're jeans. sandals, no socks, the worst. you would not get past the downstairs desk. >> reporter: really? so, i'm fired? >> now, here to help us avoid any friday faux pas is "early show" contributor katrina szish. . >> hi.

it it's important, it's friday, beach on the brain, but you don't want people at the office to know that because it's a sure fire way to say -- >> i've already checked out. >> and i don't respect this workplace. bring a carry-on bag with you, change while you're walking out the door, but keep the beach separate from the boardroom. >> let's take a look at our denim don'ts. you have some denim don'ts. these are things you definitely don't want to be caught guilty of. >> as we saw, some offices don't allow denim at all. some do. weights most important you want to be careful what you wear it with. on the left we have something way too revealing, not appropriate for the office. you don't want your denim to have rips, frays or be exceptionally sandblasted. dark denim is the rule. guys, logo, sloppy tee shirrs, baggy jeans, running shoes, a big no. >> let's talk about denim dos if it's okay for denim in the summertime, what are our do looks? >> dark denim is the safest way

to go. on blair we put her if some skinny jeans. toes are completely appropriate. and then we added more of a trend-inspired top but kept more covered up on top. you don't want to be anything too revealing at the office, nothing too low cut. we layered it, belted it, stuck to the trends at ha hand so you can be fashion forward. >> smart look. then she has shoes, because teryn had sandals on. >> big to. they have an open toe, still summery but not high heels which are a little too after work looking with skinny denim. on tyler he went from a t-shirt to a slim-fitting casual shirt. it's still a button-front shirt, office approach. this is from zappos.com. we layered it over a ringer tee, tucked it in, casual belt. you can wear sneakers to the office but they shouldn't be beat up running shoes. they should be canvas, clean and office appropriate. >> you look like you're ready for work.

>> a happy friday environment. >> thank you very much, guys. let's talk about this beach look that teryn talked about in her piece. people coming in on friday. we have some examples of absolute beach nos. >> these guys are halfway on their way to the hamptons, as you can tell. no strapless at the office. looks like a beach cover-up and flip-flops on kara. this guy's halfway to margaritaville -- >> it's fi5:00 somewhere. >> no cargo pants. >> here are the dos. >> you can still wear a dress. as a woman, we love to see that. it's casual, bright, lightweight, cool and comfortab comfortable. this one from loft. it's office appropriate. styled it perfectly. also we have -- now we have slim-fit khakis on clarence. still a graphic shirt. bright, nautical. i'm loving his glasses because that is one of the hottest trends for men, harry smith, as we see this fall. >> what's that? >> glasses on men.
