>> i think it is. i've known general shinseki who has a responsibility to be accountable. the president said yesterday there has to be accountability. there does have to be accountability right up and down the line. but i think we've got to fix the problem. that's the real focus here. >> and -- >> after we get the facts -- i mean we know things went wrong. >> some people died. >> that's exactly right. why did this happen how was it allowed to happen?

>> yes. >> several times a day? >> six times -- >> while people were working. >> cortisol is often used in research as a hormone that's produced in relation to stress and the study found that over the course of three days people had across age, race and gender, both men and women, lower stress in the work place than they did at home which is a surprising new finding because, as you said, we do look at the home as a safe haven. >> was there a difference between men and women? >> what was interesting even though both had lower stress in the work place, women would say that they were happier at work than they were at home. and for men it was actually the opposite. >> why do you think that is? >> the first thought that comes to my mind is men get to look at home as a way of leisure time whereas women pick up the second shift when they go home for the most part, though men are more helping, and often for women the work place allows them a sense of mastery, accomplishment achievement, social support and compensation in a way that they don't get at home. >> but on the other hand there's a balance by all these compensating things that happen at home in terms of love and feelings of gratitude -- >> exactly. >> and great satisfaction. >> and there are. people are also saying one thing that strikes them children the way children fit into this mix and don't children add to the stress. and we found there was a fwap between parent and nonparents. parents didn't have as much of a stress gap as nonparents did. >> i think that's surprising. what needs to happen here? >> i think what we need to take away from this is that stress is inevitable. it's part of our life inescapable. we're going to feel it at home at work. there's no two ways about it, but stop blaming your job for the source of stresses in your life. recognize that stress can be in the home and for the reasons that we mentioned, the complicated relationships, nuanced, a harder time communicating with our partner than co-workers. but, also that work really -- when we are engaged, when we have positive work flow we can benefit from physical and mental benefits. >> thank you very much. great to see you. interesting information. >> thank you for having me. >> a 16-year-old can could be the next great american tennis champ. the unique way he learned the game next on "cbs this morning." >> announcer: cbs morning rounds sponsored by coppertone sunscreen. when the sun's out, it's on. nsored by copper tone sunscreen. when the sun's out, it's on. coppertone sport accuspray. it's on. everything your mouth does in a day is building up layer, upon layer, of bacteria. and to destroy those layers?

>> yep, we hear that. >> not florence italy. >> they do confuse that sometimes. when they look at a business card. oh, that's alabama. not international shipping. >> reporter: it's a world away from manhattan and for reid that's made all the difference. he almost made it more than a decade ago in new york with the label william reid. but after the september 11 attacks with the economy at the a standstill, reid's business failed. he lost everything. he moved back to his native south, his wife's hometown florence. >> to have it taken away really was -- that was a tough period. that was a really rough, rough period. i had two children and got a mortgage and once i was able to get on our feet and have that covered, yeah, i knew eventually i definitely had a burning desire to get back in the game. >> reporter: three years later he got a second chance. friends from the industry approached him about designing a clothing line. the reid decided to do something unusual. just be hill self. that meant good-bye to william reid. >> reporter: and why billy reid? why not the william reid? >> no one ever calls me which will yam. my grandmother did. and it sounded so formal. we wanted it to be real. >> reporter: being real meant building the company in florence and instead of marketing his designs to big retailers he and his business partners decide edd to open their own stores, modeled after his mother's clothing shop in the small louisiana town where he grew up. >> i wanted them to feel like you were coming into our home and that's the way my mom's store felt. i wanted that same kind of hospitality. >> he now has ten billy reid stores across the country with the same genuine down home feel. that philosophy extends to his clothes, many are distinctly local and made in the u.s. he partners with small manufacturers from across the country on his high-end leather goods, could the the on shirts, jaens and suits. >> if there's a way to make it in the states we should try to make it in the states. it's not the least expensive option but our customer takes pride in the fact that it is made in the states. >> reporter: his approach has brought him a devoted following from people who buy into his authenticity like the band mum ford and sons and the actor daniel craig. >> 007 reporting for duty. >> reporter: who insisted on wearing his billy reid pea coat as james bond. acclaim has come from fashion insiders. >> 2010 vote fashion winner is billy reid. >> reporter: he's won some of the industry's biggest awards including men's wear at the signersign er design er designer of the year. he's a source of pride helping to he revitalize the region. >> we opened here in town town in '09. >> reporter: and it didn't look like this in '09. the buildings were there but nothing in them. >> there were a lot of empty buildings. ♪ i used to be a little girl ♪ >> reporter: reid supports southern artists, musicians and chefs. his annual shin dig attracts people from around the country. but reid says he's just being true to himself and this time doing what he likes. >> just do what you feel in your gut is right and if people respond to it great. if they don't respond to it at least at the end of the day you did what you wanted to do and made it the way you wanted to make it. >> reporter: even the way reid furnishes his stores is something of a statement using things he finds locally but always something from alabama. in georgetown, for example the rugs came from a dealer that they met here at a flea market. the old chandeliers and the reclaimed wood floors all shipped up are from alabama. charlie?
