michael jackson died, we now know more about what happened in the hours leading up to his death. the l.a. county coroner ruled jackson's death a homicide. now, that's from the "associated press" quoting a single law enforcement official. cnn is working on the story. the coroner's office has no comment for cnn, but l.a. police say the report did not come from them. court documents show that the coroner preliminarily concluded that jackson died of a propofol overdose, and he was given three other powerful drugs before that! >> there is simply no rational basis for this combination for the treatment of insomnia, no protocol on earth that would include these substances. however, what i also drew from this is he was potentially tolerant and addicted to these substances and potentially in withdrawal that could truly take down an elephant. to give two milligrams of ativan to a man that weighs 150 pounds, the average person, that would put them to sleep for the rest of the day, no problem. it would stop them in their tracks. >> well, doctor conrad murray's attorney strongly disagrees with parts of that report. he says much it is police theory. court documents show that detectives believe miscellaneous prescriptions from several doctors could have contributed to jackson's death. meanwhile, a jackson family attorney says the report reaffirms a tragic and gross violation of duty and care for jackson. jackson's family public listist says they look forward to the day that justice can be served. of. you know what? we're getting a better idea about the laundry list of drugs given to jackson hours before he died. and correspondent richard lui is sorting through that, and has more for you in ten minutes. unbelievable. police say a frightening incident at a

think that, oh, yeah, somebody just pulled a ha-ha-ha. and all of a sudden we see all of our teachers and everything and the principal coming and rushing in. >> i was just getting out of class, because we thought it was a fire drill. and we're walking out to evacuate and heard two big explosions. >> well, police arrived soon after the suspect was tackled. of they're not saying what his motive might have been. i want you to take a look around the breakfast table this morning. the odds are that someone sitting there will get the swine flu this year. a grim prediction from a presidential advisory group says that about 1/3 to half the u.s. population could get the h1n1 virus this fall and winter. and that it could kill as many as 90,000, more than twice the total of seasonal flu. obviously, parents are worried. >> now i'm kind of concerned. it's kind of a lag time. i was hoping it would be a little bit sooner than that. >> we are concerned with the kids. all of the time they are together, they are exposed to different viruses. >> well, in until, for example, more than 100 students called in sick at a middle school yesterday. the state is looking into weather

many forms, but they say the government is getting all crazy about, you know, dotting your is, crossing your ts. the program, closed out for you as a buyer last night, but the dealers get a little more time to try and finish all that paperwork. >> from day one, they would deny things, because they couldn't read maybe a 1 looked like a 7 or, you know, just any little -- there was 136 pages of rules. >> and as you can imagine, dealers are saying, hey, we're sending all this stuff, where is our money? they're upset they're not getting paid quickly enough. i always feel that way about the tax refund, too. but there is widespread agreement about this plan that it worked, that it boosted car sales, more than 600,000 cars in a month. ford and gm had to boost reduction, and a lot of people argue this plan boosted confidence, too. that was part of the main reason for it. there is some fear, though, about what's next that anybody who needed a car sped up their purchase, so there may not be much demand left for a little while. robin. >> yeah, that would seem to be logical, unless you're the person who had like 19 miles to the gallon instead of 18 miles to the gallon and you didn't

about the hours before michael jackson died. you will not believe how many drugs were apparently in his system. more details on a top story right now of michael jackson's personal doctor gave an account of what he says happened in the hours right before michael jackson died. and according to police documents, doctor conrad murray says that he gave jackson four different drugs! correspond richard lui lays out the time line. weaver talking intravenously, aren't we? >> that's right u robin. 32-police affidavit lays it out and page 18 gives details of what they're saying doctor murray told detectives. first of all, around 1:30 in the morning, he says he gave jackson ten milligrams of valium, the i.v., and half hour later, the anti-anxiety drug ativan, and at 3:00 a.m., two milligrams of the set aactive versed, and monitored his blood oxygen level throughout all of the injections. >> and despite all of that medicine, doctor murray is saying that michael jackson was still awake, and he was demanding more drugs! >> that's correct. he wanted more. the warrant says that jackson and requested a stronger drug on top of the others, propofol. now, doctor murray says he gave jackson 25 milligrams of the powerful anesthetic around 10:40 that morning. that was nine hours since the beginning of his time line that we have been telling you. one anesthesiologist gives perspective to our sister network, cnn, on these injections. >> you know, 25 milligrams on top of the valium, the ativan and the other versed, and supposedly he was also addicted to narcotics, which could have accumulated in his system. that could tip him over. but 25 milligrams usually wears off within two minutes or so. of. >> well, robin, ten minutes after giving jackson the propofol, murray says he went to the rest room. and when he came back two minutes later, jackson was not breathing. murray's attorney denies the accuracy of this time line given in the warrant so far, robin. >> it's

westhoven has more on the future of the fed chief. i don't know about you, but you couldn't pay me enough to do that job. >> this is some job, the second most powerful job in the world, the federal reserve, being trusted with the entire u.s. economy. and some people saying he might not bed asked to stay for a second term. keep in mind this is someone who was a depression era scholar who got thrown in the crux of this whole financial crisis and said i'm going to do my best. cnn is told that later this morning, president obama will renominate bernanke from his vacation in martha's vineyard, coming up in about 45 minutes. the senate would then have to confirm him for a second four-year term. you can expect a lot of argument, debate, as the senate autos does. but some of the experts are saying they expect a confirmation, considering although the economy is by no means healed, we have come a long way from when we were on edge there in september and october. okay. ikea, you have a desk or glasses for cheap and have some of those swedish meatballs where in beijing, thousands of chinese are flocking to the stores, and not necessarily buying anything. they're just hanging

workers say she checked in and left. police have not publicly identified her yet. cnn has not confirmed early reports that jenkins and fiori's marriage was annulled. court records show in 2007 he got 15 months probation for saul. remember, he is on vh-1's megan wants a millionaire. the production company says they didn't know about his record when they cast him. here is the woman who did the casting. >> ryan was ideal contestant for these shows, you a big personality, you want loud, you want someone that's entertaining and that is going to cause conflict in the house. >> well, jenkins mother doesn't believe he killed fiori. she says his name will eventually be cleared. a young nba star has reportedly checked into a rehab facility and his twitter page might shed some light on why. here is rafer. good morning. >> as you said, it's good that this guy is at least getting some help. and it's interesting that somebody with all of this fame and all of this money still can suffer regular problems like the rest of us. we're talking about miami heat star michael beasley. reportedly he checked into the rehab facility we're talking about in houston, for, quote, psychological issues. now, the "miami herald" also says he is being treated for drug use, and this all started after a picture was posted on his twitter page showing a tattoo and on the table next to him was a

homicide. at least that's from the "associated press" quoting a single law enforcement official. cnn is working on the story. the coroner's office has no comment, however. l.a. police say the report did not come from them. court documents show that the coroner preliminary concluded that jackson died of a propofol overdose. some grim projections about the h1n1 virus. experts tell president obama

stretching, ready for tuesday. i'm robin meade. welcome, morning sunshine. more on our top story. michael jackson's family said they have confidence in the legal process. that follows an ap report quoting a single law enforcement source no who says that his death has been ruled a homicide. correspondent richard lui, when you say homicide, i think most people think murder. >> yeah, right, robin. legally, it means the killing, though, of one person by another. excluding her by natural causes or by suicide. a wide variety of charges fall under homicide from first degree murder to negligent homicide. senior legal analyst jeffrey toobin told our sister network cnn he doubts it could lead, though, to a murder charge. >> it would be some version of manslaughter, an unintentionally killing, but you can still go to prison for several years. keep in mind, though, that these sort of medical situations, it's very rare they give rise to criminal charges. malpractice suits, yes. losing your medical license, yes. but in actual criminal case resulting in a jail sentence, very unusual. >> more on what jeffrey toobin was saying there. manslaughter means homicide without malice, robin, or premeditation. >> okay. so the question now, who authorities might be targeting in the alleged homicide case. >> right, right. and there are so many details and players in this. we don't know the specifics as of yet, because this is preliminary, as we have been saying. but according to this preliminary warrant and affidavit, there were bottles of drugs used to treat insomnia sitting by jackson's bed at the time of his death including clonopin and dsryl and also zanaflex prescribed by doctor arnold klein. and doctor murray says he's not the only one to prescribe to jackson propofol and he was trying to wagon wean jackson from that, robin. so a lot of players so far. >> richard, thank you so much. incredible. the face we're about to show you will soon be famous or at least infamous. the fbi is going to put pictures of this guy on bill boards throughout the south. he is a suspect in ten bank res in eight southern states. an fbi agent told our sister network, cnn, he is concerned about how brash the guy has been. >> this guy has made no effort to hide the gun. he has threatened the use of it in every bank robbery that he has committed. he has put the gun in the faces of tellers, threatened to use gun against them, and threatened violence against the bank themselves. so certainly, we need to get this guy in custody before he does harm someone. >> well, a billboard that the fbi put up yesterday roughly follows the path that the robber has taken across the south. we now have pictures of two buffalo, new york firefighters killed on the job. the fire commissioner says that the floor collapsed as lieutenant chip mccarthy was searching this burning building. firefighter jonathan crume went after him and fell through the floor, as well. it took colleagues hours to recover their bodies. >> this is a very, very lengthy operation to reach them. and when they were, they were -- they were placed in stokes baskets, and they were draped with american flag and brought out and probably about three or four hundred firefighters paid respects to them. >> the cause of that fire is still under investigation. those pictures are so moving. people are lining up for e chance to hunt wolves in idaho. of it will be legal next week there for the first time in decades. gray wolves were just taken off the endangered species list. 13 environmental groups have filed suit to stop the hunt, saying the wolves are still at risk, but hunters say that they're a danger to livestock and other wildlife. >> over the last seven to ten years, i've seen the elk and deer heard depleting at a rapid rate of speed. >> we filed our litigation last thursday, a motion for injunction which we did last year, and we were successful last year, so we're hoping, given this is the same plan that we're fighting against, that we'll also be successful this year. >> well, a judge agreed to hold a hearing next monday about the wolf hunts. he has ruled in favor of the environmentist once before. a champion runner at the center of a gender controversy. in other words, is this person a boy or a girl. had quite a homecoming. here is rafer on that. did we ever get the results of those so-called gender tests? >> no, those take a long time, rob i think, a couple weeks. that's how extensive the gender test has been. but caster semenya take exception to it. they greeted her like a rock star when she came back to her native south africa. thousands turned out to greet her and the entire joe han he is berg carrying signs like she is a girl, and police had to hold fans back as they walked her through the crowds. she was asked to take a gender test before she won the 800 meters in the world championships in berlin. it's a very extensive test, robin, even includes a psychologist. we'll have more sforts later on. >> well, thank you. i don't know what would be worse, to be the person whose asked, are you a boy or a girl, and you be offended or the person who has to bring it up. and bring it up to you, and test you for that. wow. >> tough situation. >> yeah. interesting, anyway. of bobby! weather-wise, what's going on? >> a couple things i'm concerned with right now. number one, a cold front extra stretches across the upper midwest and plains. you can see right there, pretty active this morning, lots of clouds. you can see satellite picture. also put the rain over the top of it. so we have had some thunderstorms training off and on, right through the heart of minneapolis. so that's been there for the morning. but then you look out across the east coast, things are drying out. farther out toward the western atlantic, though, let me show you what's brewing in the tropics. this is something we're concerned about, could be our next tropical depression by this afternoon or tomorrow. right now, it's a tropical wave, and you can see the proximity towards the u.s., all the models we have, four or five, drifting toward the carolinas, and then bended northward. so almost like a bill-type scenario. but right now a tropical wave could become a tropical depression. many after that, a storm to hurricane. let's hope this doesn't turn into anything, just a decent rain-maker for areas that need it like the carolinas. rains and thunderstorms around minneapolis. you can see there. zoom toward the city, msp, just a glow of showers, thunderstorms around the region. that's going to be like that the next couple hours and then it lulls and comes back this afternoon with a little daytime heating. fills in towards iowa and nebraska, too. of you pull the picture out farther, things are quiet until you get to southern florida. here is miami, radar picture picking up most of the activity off shore. take you live to the city itself, here somewhat miami looks like. a high of 92 to 93. leave it that's what it's going to feel like. look at the nice clouds building up already. and showers and thunderstorms moving in this afternoon. typical summer type day, southern florida, but i just had to show you that picture. gorgeous. more on that in just a little bit, rob. rob, you used to live there, right? >> yes, take a vacation, would you? >> you passed the pretty test. i could not live there. you know what i mean? you have to be pretty to live down there. >> it's the reputation that everybody in miami is pretty. thank you, rob. >> you got it. it takes teachers a few days to learn students' names. but can you imagine the challenge of telling quintuplets and quadruple let's apart! snoud noult so . so an anonymous blogger was outed by google and now she wants money because of it. she posted derogatory comments about a new york model. the model was on a public site, and a judge ordered google to hand over port's identity, and now port is suing google because it did not protect her privacy. you know, one colorado kindergarten teacher is having a tough time telling some of her students apart. her classroom is full of quadruple lets and quintuplets. can you imagine? more than a third of melissa coleman's class is from two families. think about it that way. much but that's not the only challenges she faces. >> i didn't say anything the first day. the second day, i asked them, what have you noticed about our class, and they said that, kid looks exactly like that kid. gosh, i want to learn to tell the identical ones apart. that's the first challenge, to figure that out. >> the teacher herself is no stranger to multiples. she has twins. but was there no other kindergarten class at that school in only one class? you know, you would saddle one teacher with quads and quints? i'm just asking. some people desperate for work say the company that was supposed to help them find a job instead took all of their money. we want you to watch out for scams like this. money expert jennifer west hoerch is going to show you how it works. >> yeah, and that's the red flag here, robin. i'm actually going to do the end of the story first to get you right to the good points. if there is an employment company asking you to give the money up front before you see any evidence what they're going to do for you, put your big, red flags up, right? your antenna. this story happened in virginia but it could happen anywhere. so be careful. the state of virginia suing a small company. hundreds of people claimed they were cheated. they paid hundreds of dollars for help finding a job, they said, but then they claimed they got little or no help at all. ves has denied any wrongdoing. according to the the lawsuit, des would tell people that it had set up interviews for them with local employers, but then when they called the local employers, they said, what, we don't know anything about you. >> i wish that the state would do something, and i really hope that i can get justice for what they did to me. >> and now wtkr in norfolk is reporting the ves packed up its offices and disappeared. so just a lesson again. watch out for any company that says they're going to help you find a job, but wants to charge you hundreds of dollars before you see any evidence of their work. all right. if you fly a lot, you know that the frequent flier programs, not so great in recent years. they have really made some changes there that have made it almost hard to redeem your miles. but that is changing, and that is some good news in a bad economy. the "new york

can book with 12,500 miles. united is cutting fees, and next year, delta will introduce a new tier of benefits. robin, i want them to eliminate -- sometimes it's a $75 fee to book your award ticket. >> we doesn't seem right. >> yeah. >> how is that an award? >> that's the point of frequent flier miles. >> yeah, how is that an award, if you've got to pay for it? okay. are you a woman who is

called wfo, which means wide-freakin open. this isn't even the guy who won this competition. you've got to see the guy who did. we are getting our first look at the weekend's frantic rescue off the coast of maine. you may remember, a huge wave from hurricane bill swept 20 people into the ocean. we can see the coast guard trying to pull them from the water, but they were unable to save a 7-year-old girl. witnesses say the people were watching the waves, and it quickly became dangerous. >> it was fun in the beginning when the wave height was smaller and nobody was getting hurt but then when the waves got bigger and people didn't understand how serious it was, it got really -- it got really scary. >> park rangers say they warned people not to get too close to waves. this morning, we

that. first, our top story. after michael jackson died, we know hours before leading up to his death, they ruled michael jackson's death a homicide, which is according to a senior law enforcement official. they have no comment for cnn. court documents show that the coroner concluded that jackson died of an overdose and given three other drugs before that. >> there's simply no rational basis for insomnia and other drugs that with include this substance but he was probably tolerant even maybe addictive which is why he would tolerate doses that would literally take down an elephant. these are truly massive amounts. the average would put them to sleep for the rest of the day, no problem. that would stop them in their tracks. >> dr. conrad murray strongly disagres with much of the report and disagrees that is the theory. court documents show that several descriptions could have resulted in his death. reaffirming a gross violation and duty for jackson. they say that the family looks forward to the day that justice can be served. we're getting a laundry list of drugs that he may have been taking. take a look around the table and the odds are that somebody sitting there may be

that neb that needed a new car just bottom it. there may not be a demand for a while. >> realistic there with the thinking. police say a frightening incident at a high school could have been much worse. and carrying a chainsaw and teachers tackled them after they set off two of the bombs. there was little damage and thankfully nobody was hurt. >> i was in the classroom and all of a sudden the fire alarm goes off and we think that, oh, yeah, somebody just pulled it. and then all of a sudden we see all of our teachers and people come rushing in. >> i was just getting out of class because we
