been acquitted for homicide he wan florida to pay $2 to $3 million for his trial cost. put on a mask of president obama. >> are you a democrat or republican? >> i'm a rodeo clown. >> the hug. i'm surprised you didn't give him the racket. >> welcome to the network. >> wait, we're doing this every night. >> all that matters. >> president obama the medal of honor. >> if you want to know what a true american hero looks like you don't have to look too far. just look at your dad. >> on "cbs this morning." >> three metro cops accepted a partygoers standoff invitation at the london carnival. boy, did they have the moves. >> quite a lot of twerking. welcome to "cbs this morning," charlie rose and norah o'donnell are off today but anthony mason is here. >> good to be back.

>> good to have you here. u.s. military preparing for an attack on syria. the obama administration is making its most forceful case yet for action. >> the president is expected to reveal evidence today showing syria did use chemical weapons against its own people. bill plante is at the white house. bill, good morning. >> gayle anthony, good morning. there's no longer any debate here about military response to syria. the only question now is when it will happen. secretary of defense hagel said this morning that u.s. forces are ready and able to act as soon as the president gives the order. secretary kerry called the use of chemical weapons by syria undeniable. >> the indiscriminate slauder of civilians, killing of women and children and innocent bystanders by chemical weapons is a moral obscenity. >> reporter: these all strongly indicate everything these images are already screaming at us is real.

chemical weapons were used in syria. >> reporter: on monikerry repeated the president's promises there would be consequences for syria's use of chemical weapons. >> make no mistake, president obama believes there must be accountability for those who would use the world's most heinous weapons against the world's most vulnerable people. >> reporter: it was a year ago the president laid down his marker. there would be enormous consequences if we start seeing movement on the chemical weapons front. >> reporter: with little public support for any u.s. involvement in syria, the president has been reluctant to act. now after the horrifying pictures, he's reaching out to allies to build a coalition of support and he has ordered a declassified report to make the case to the american public. there are four u.s. navy warships in the eastern mediterranean ready to launch cruise missiles within hours of receiving the order from president obama. a british submarine also reported to be in position.

>> the problem is action to do what? >> former pentagon adviser urges a strike against syria's chemical arsenal could backfire unless there's a long-term military and diplomatic strategy. >> if we simply punish him for using chemical weapons by destroying a few high value politically sensitive facilities and leaveunstated it will be a hollow message. >> a short strike seems to be what the administration is planning. the timing will be when u.n. inspectors leave the country and when the president goes overseas next week. >> thanks bill. syria's foreign minister said his country will use all means necessary to defend itself against any american strike. the foreign minister also said he had a cordial conversation with secretary kerry on the

phone after the alleged chemical attack last week. holly williams on the turkey-syria border. good morning. >> good morning, anthony and gayle. >> reporter: good morning, anthony and gayle, as the u.s. weighs military action in syria, united as the u.s. wages action trying to find out conclusively whether chemical weapons were used in last week's attack. the inspectors began their investigation yesterday interviewing survivors and witnesses and taking samples of blood and soil. we don't know how long their work will take and when they will deliver results. if they do find chemicals were used, it's still not their job to say who used them. just this morning we've been hearing from syrian foreign minister who refuted that his government has been hindering the work of the inspectors. the syrian government has always denied using chemical weapons and blames the syrian opposition for last week's attack. graphic internet videos of the

aftermath has shocked people around the world and now several countries including britain, france and turkey have joined the u.s. in blaming the syrian regime and calling for some kind of military response. but if the u.s. does intervene in syria, that will anger other countries including russia and iran, which backed the syrian government. russia has warned the u.s. not to make a tragic mistake by preempting the results. anthony, gayle. >> thank you, holly. firefighters are gaining ground in california after 10 days of battling a huge wildfire in and around yosemite national park. the most dangerous of all the western fires is now 20% contained but still poses a threat to san francisco's water supply. teresa garcia in tuolumne, california, with more on that. good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning. we're in a town keeping constant watch on the fire because it's edging threateningly close. residents have been on

evacuation advisory for many days now. there's another key concern, which is san francisco's water supply and the ash that has been falling into the reservoir. there are nearly 4,000 firefighters working this fire and it has already burned across an incredible 160,000 acres. erratic winds and inaccessible terrain allowed the rim fire to largely set its own course forcing firefighters to be reactive as opposed to getting ahead of the flames. >> we can't be directly on the fire's edge. it won't allow that. what's frustrating, we have to let the fire come to us. >> the inferno has raged for the past 10 days destroying 23 struck yours. two powerful dc 10s dropped 25,000 gallons of retardant. one homeowner in groveland, california, shot this video from the rooftop as the flames came within a half mile of his home.

>> thank you. >> with some 4500 structures still threatened firefighters are doing their best to stand their ground despite having firsthand knowledge of how dangerous this wildfire can be. >> this area on the national forest has had history of fatality fires. we're very cognizant of the terrain and fuel conditions and fire behavior that occurs here. >> california governor jerry brown visited the fire zone monday. like other officials he's paying close attention to the water quality of the hetch hetchy reservoir that lies directly in the fire's path. >> burn down anything you've got a moonscape where floods could contaminate the waters. >> if there's any good news it's that as the fire continues to burn to the north and east, the terrain becomes more rocky, the forest more sparse so there's less to burn. all eyes will certainly be on the hetch hetchy reservoir for some time to come. so far officials say there's no indication of any change in the

water quality. a major challenge with this fire lies in the record dry conditions across the state. the moisture level in those trees is only at 6%. so when the fire hits them they basically burn up like matchsticks. and the cause of the fire that is still under investigation. gayle, anthony. >> that is a question. thank you, teresa garcia. stormy weather in the southwest is blamed for one death in california. part of that storm sent a wall of dust hundreds of feet high through the phoenix area yesterday. this twitter photo shows a plane taking off just before the haboob also known as a dust storm over the phoenix airport. it was one of the last flights to leave before the airport was temporarily shut down. in las vegas heavy rains turned roads into rivers. one man tried to dig his car out of the mud but ended up pushing it back into the floodwaters. the midwest is sure feeling the heat today. a dome of high pressure could push temperatures into triple digits today for parts of iowa and nebraska.

at least six schools -- in at least six states schools that didn't have air conditioning have been forced to cancel classes. aaa estimates 34 million americans will travel this labor day weekend, 29 million by car. there's some good news for drivers this morning. the average u.s. price for regular gas is $3.54 a gallon. that's $0.20 lower than last year at this time. chief analyst for gas money.com which helps drivers find the lowest gas prices in their area. good morning. >> good morning. >> we've actually seen crude prices go up why are gas prices going down brf crude prices are up basically because of the middle eastern violence and a fear among sellers that all hell could break loose and prices could go nuts for crude oil. meanwhile traders in the u.s. are looking ahead and they are looking ahead, we have had a great driving season people hit the roads. after that demand drops per day

because most driving is work related. so we're looking at lower demand and there is plenty of supply. >> i remember back in the day when gas prices jumped from $0.50 to $0.60 people were outraged. people were very upset. do you think this trend will continue after labor day? >> i think so. the middle east is the major wild card. we're producing 2 million a day more than we were during the first arab spring. we're much less susceptible to events happening in the middle east or afc. >> more crude from canada. >> there's a lot more crude coming down from canada. without the keystone pipeline we'll see 5 million barrels of production later this decade. u.s. refineries have really added to their capacity. once we get past september 15th the formula for gasoline changes and it's easier. >> is this production trend an ongoing thing, tom? are we going to continue to produce more oil and get more

oil from canada and ease our situation here? >> i think so. we're really in a good situation not just for oil but natural gas. prices are much cheaper than the rest of the world. the only thing that could really derail it would be a financial collapse like 2009. technology and a fairly high price are leading to a lot of holes drilled and a lot more crude coming on. >> did you say we're less susceptible with what's happening in the middle east? >> yes. >> you don't think what's going on in syria will affect us? >> i don't think if it's contained within syria, and we've had some problems with libya and libyan expert, we'll be okay. if it blows up with global like russia, then all hell can break loose, not a probability but possibility. >> lowest gas prices in three years. >> lowest prices since three years and i think we'll see lower by thanksgiving and

christmas. >> thanks so much. members of congress are getting ready for a full showdown over the federal debt limit. treasury secretary jack lew asked congressional leaders to raise the debt ceiling allowing the government to keep borrowing money. lew says the u.s. will hit the debt ceiling in mid october. house speaker john boehner and other republicans say they want spending cuts first. white house officials say they will not negotiate. george zimmerman acquitted last month in the florida shooting death of trayvon martin. now his attorney says zimmerman should be reimbursed for his legal expenses. mark o'mara told "orlando sentinel" he will ask to pay $300,000 in fees. o'mara says since zimmerman was acquitted, state law requires them to pay costs. mtv video awards found an audience 10 million people watching, more than that last year. public outrage growing over

miley cyrus's performance. they called it inappropriate for children and criticized mtv for showing it. billy ray cyrus, miley's father is on the advisory board of that group. jan watching the fallout. >> reporter: good morning. for those of you who missed this and maybe i should say those of you who were fortunate enough to miss it cyrus's number involved grinding tongue dancing suggestively in a nude colored bikini with robin thicke. they have a long history of shocking audiences. music industry is wondering if it was totally over the top even by those performances. it was a performance that might have made hannah montana blush. there was miley cyrus, writhing twerking and being down right crass. a side of the 20-year-old former video star most audiences are

not used to seeing. after all she played a character so wholesome even her swear words were innocent. >> sweet niblets. >> she went on stage and delivered an unprecedented hot performance. >> there were inevitable comparisons to britney spears at the vma when she was trying to shed her squeaky clean disney channel image, but that was before the age of social media. while cyrus was on stage she was mentioned 4.5 million times on twitter at a rate of 306,000 tweets per minute many of them unflattering. >> the social space goes crazy with these sort of deconceptualized moments. here is the shot of miley's butt not looking good someone in the audience seemingly not enjoying the performance, that becomes the lasting legacy of the

performance. >> then there's this. the scene was reminiscent of the racy video of robin thicke's "blurred lines" scantily clad models while he suggests no doesn't mean no. >> i feel like miley calls his bluff. here is this guy singing this super sexual song about blurred lines, hey women you know you want it. miley cyrus said i want it. if he looked uncomfortable, i have to wonder why. >> the night other female headliners didn't draw nearly as much controversy. the opening act by the normally outrageous lady gaga looked tame by comparison. katy perry closed the show with her empowering female anthem "roar." as for cyrus she took to twitter with a message that and directed at her critics. bangerz is a reference to her upcoming album. if you think her record label is

upset with this bad publicity, think again. cyrus, of course now has two of the top five hits on itunes. >> i'm thinking they are not upset. i'm wondering is miley thinking i crossed the line or do we need to lighten up. i think she answered that question. >> jan crawford thanks. time to show some of this morning's headlines. "the wall street journal" says big houses are making a comeback. the average size of a new home is just over 2600 square feet. that's a record. 5% bigger than the average house built before the great recession. >> the new york city looks at the price of one of the most important parts of emergency medicine intravenous bag of sterile saline. hospital markups can be as high as 200 times. high prices are attributed to hospitals relying on middlemen and failing to negotiate the price. >> dallas morning news says jcpenney's largest shareholder plans to sell 39 million shares

of stock. bill ackman resigned from penney's board this month ending a three-year relationship with the department store. the shares will sell below monday's price. ackman plans to raise $500 million from the sale. "usa today" say people who signed up for the national do-not-call list are getting calls from telemarketers. complaints jumped from two years ago. much to blame on robocalls. >> i get those. apple is reportedly ramping up trade-in programs for old iphones. the new iphone is expected to be unveiled september 10th. the program would let people bring in used iphones for a discount on newer

good morning. we got some slow traffic going on in the east bay. first out towards the san mateo bridge traffic is backed up to behind the toll plaza because they have one of the fastrak lanes blocked. and it's also causing slowdowns on the southbound 880 approach. an earlier crash in san lorenzo did not help matters. that is now cleared to the right-hand shoulder. but it's obviously backed up in both directions now northbound and southbound 880. this is right there by the oakland coliseum. so want to avoid that mess, use 580. that is the latest in here in the traffic center. here's lawrence with the forecast. >> patchy fog along the coastline, a lot of sunshine showing up in the valleys and it's going stay that way all day long. we have some beautiful weather coming our way from the mount vaca cam. you have some sunshine there. 50s and 60s around the bay area at this hour. by the afternoon, though, sunshine and 80s and some low 90s. getting warmer in the valleys, 60s and 70s inside the bay and 60s coastside. next couple days no major changes, cooler for the weekend.

creative people are often described as right brained and analytical people as left brained. a new study calls that theory a myth. researchers at the university of utah found no scientific evidence to back that up. clinical associate professor of neurology at new york university joins us at the table to sort it out. good morning to you, doctor. now do we have to change everything that we've been taught to believe all these years? >> not ksh well i think you've got to think twice about it. >> the brain should be deciding. >> this study really looks at over a thousand people as they're lying quietly or reading and it found that everyone really used both sides of the brain so, there was never one person or one group of people who exclusively used more the left side or more the right side. it was really task dependent. >> which for certain tasks we can spend more time on one side or the other is what they're saying. >> that's right. so that if somebody is more

artistic, say, they would more likely use the right side of the -- networks within the right side of the brain so it's about what networks they use. there are networks for language networks for artistic ability, there's networks for math. so depending on what networks you use, you'll use one side of the brain more than the other. >> so do brains differ, whether you're an artist or whether you're a math meation? >> not at all. we all have the same brain. we may be running different programs at different times so that, you know, i find this, for example, in women who are traditionally much bet we are language. >> yes. >> traditionally. and men are traditionally arguably much better with directions. but if you notice men are far more reluctant to ask for directions when they're lost and i think that that can be because they don't really use both -- not using generally both networks at the same time, which is more helpful. >> or they're just trying to be macho. >> that's true. >> we wouldn't do that.

>> why do you think, then -- boy, this is interesting. why do you think some people are more artistic? if we're not sort of programmed within the brain to lean onewyway or another, then how do we get there? >> well we develop certain networks, and really the artistic network needs both sides of the brain. so, for example, there are people who have what are called split brain syndromes where both sides of the hemispheres, both brain hemispheres are disconnected from each other. so you give them a quarter, say, in their left hand and their right side their artistic side of the brain figures out it's a quarter. but then that information has to cross over the left side of the brain, but it doesn't because the hemispheres are split. and therefore they can't tell you that it's a quarter. art is really about communication, about your emotions. if you're not able to do that then you're not much of an artist, are you. so you really always have to use both sides of your brain in order to be a functional human

being, in order to be able to navigate society. >> i think we just should be glad that we have a brain. don't want to be called a no-brain person. >> that is true. >> what you're saying now, i'm so fascinated because we're saying there's no such thing as left or right. we both use both sides all the time. >> that is correct. >> thank you very much. >> thanks for having me. >> only on "cbs this morning," store brand food will save you money, but what about the taste? consumer"consumer reports" has a report. and all that mattered 25 years ago, a piece of tape that turned out to be a grunge. >> announcer: "cbs healthwatch" sponsored by allergan. talk to your doctor today about chronic migraine. allergen talk to your doctor today about chronic migraine. ly reduces headache days for adults with chronic migraine 15 or more headache days a month each lasting 4 hours or more. it's proven to actually prevent headache days. and it's injected by a doctor once every 3 months.

from. they were frankly not very good in quality. >> well, what it's the store brand? >> it's part of an interchange about term. it could be america's choice from a & p and great choice from walmart. good, better best not only ways to compete but also exceed the specification or gave you great are products. >> what did you find? >> well "consumer reports" has expert tasters, and we do blind taste tests. essentially, took took multiple samples of products in ten categories from ketchup and mayo, to trail mix. we evaluated them to see how good they were. we took a national brand leader when there was one and we pit -- well, we looked at seven national product lines, walmart, target, costco. and we looked to see how they measure up.

37 to 57 were at least as good as the national brand and could save you upwards of 15 to 30%. at sam's club the pricing was remarkable. most averages 50%, some 60%. >> let's look at ketchup in particular. what did you see there? >> what's more iconic than heinz ketchup and hellman's mayonnaise? the quality levels we found that there were almost knockoffs in quality in terms of the flavor profile. >> right. they tasted the same? >> they were very very similar. almost as much as dead ringers. what we actually did because we were so intrigued by the findings we set up kind of blind taste tests among "consumer reports" staffers who fashion themselves devotes of heinz or hellmans. target which makes the market pantry line 40%, the people who were devotes of national brand
