| Minutes after American Airlines Flight 11 hit north of manchester tower of New York's World Trade Concentrate on Sept. 11, 2001, television news cameras were to the picture and the world tuned in. Round-the-clock coverage of the events continued for days in the media, radio and on the Internet. Journalists worked tirelessly to share with the story as the country located terms with what had happened.Filmmakers, writers and songwriters are storytellers, too, but they continue telling their stories long afterwards the events they depict are no longer. In the past five years, artists have voiced the feelings of many Americans, explored the individual stories of victims and survivors, and tried to soothe and inspire through their work.On Sept. 11, French filmmakers Jules and G??d??on Naudet were making a documentary of a rookie firefighter in lower Manhattan when Jules noticed a jet flying extremely low overhead. Instinctively he turned his camera toward it and filmed a rare shot of the first plane to hit the World Trade Center. Jules rushed towards the North tower with members of the FDNY, and filmed them within the lobby as they began to organize the evacuation of the building. The resulting documentary, "9/11," aired in the United States on March 10, 2002, to mark the six month anniversary of the attacks. It was one of the few films released about the subject that year. A collection of 11 shorts by 11 filmmakers including Ken Loach, Mira Nair and Sean Penn titled "11'09"01 — September 11" was launched in September 2002. A number of the shorts were considered controversial, but overall the film received good reviews. 2 Michael Moore's 2004 documentary "Fahrenheit 9/11" won the highest prize at the 2004 Cannes Film Festival. An indictment of the Bush administration, the film examines the events prior to Sept. 11 and then progresses to the Iraq war. During the last year, several narrative films about Sept. 11 debuted, high are more in the works. "United 93" directed by Paul Greengrass premiered at the 2006 Tribeca Film Festival, only blocks out of the site of the fallen towers. The film depicts the events in real-time as the passengers join together to wrest control over the plane from the hijackers.The ill-fated flight was also the subject of two Emmy-nominated docudramas, "The Flight That Fought Back" which aired for the Discovery Channel and "Flight 93," which aired on A&E.Oliver Stone's "World Trade Center," about two law enforcement officers who were pulled from the rubble from the towers, premiered at the 2006 Cannes Film Festival and opened in theaters Aug. 9. Some of the people portrayed in "United 93" and "World Trade Center" and also family members of the victims worked as advisors on both films. Some even walked the red carpet in the films' premieres. no previous page next 1/2 An experimental drug inhaled every day for treatment of the flu also can prevent it, according to a study in Wednesday's Journal with the American Medical Association. Relenza, generically known as Zanamavir, is a drug that is certainly inhaled through the mouth having an inhaler device, reports CBS News Health Correspondent Dr. Emily Senay. The drug fights influenza by preventing the spread with the virus in the respiratory tract. The latest study shows that if inhaled once a day at the start of the flu season, its virus-fighting properties may also prevent illness as well.People who took the drug were 67 percent less likely to develop flu symptoms, and 84 percent less likely to get a serious case of flu with a fever. The study followed 1,107 students with the University of Michigan and the University of Missouri throughout the 1997 flu season. They kept diaries to notice any flu symptoms and rate their severity. The study's numbers are small because that flu season was a relatively mild one. Only 34 of 554 people allotted to receive a placebo came down with flu in contrast to 11 of 553 people who took Relenza. The most frequent side effects were headache, nasal symptoms, sore throat, coughing and fatigue.The drug also was great at preventing several strains of Type A influenza and previous studies have shown the drug as a way to fight Type B as well.The leader of the study, University of Michigan epidemiologist Dr. Arnold Monto, said current flu vaccines remain the top defense against the flu, nevertheless they require two to four weeks to consider effect after getting the shot.The flu vaccine is especially helpful for the elderly or young kids who are at high-risk for the virus.Relenza, manufactured by GlaxoWellcome Inc. and available in Europe, is awaiting approval on the market as a flu treatment in the us. A Food and Drug Administration committee has asked for more proof about the drug's effectiveness and questioned whether consumers might use inhalers.An editorial accompanying the JAMA report raised the identical issue, saying that without careful supervision, it "could prove befuddling towards the first-time user."Its manufacturers hope it will likely be available by prescription this coming flu season.
Blowing away the competition, and even its very own expectations, the Fox Network's "Joe Millionaire" finale was the greatest entertainment event on TV since last year's Oscars.It drew some 40 million viewers, and, in accordance with CBS News correspondent Sandra Hughes, some criticism that television is throwing quality the window in favor of ratings."Reality programming continues to be called the crack cocaine of programming. It gives you a quick fix but it depends on the quality of the program and the longevity of the program," says CBS President Les Moonves.He should be aware of, says Hughes. It was CBS's "Survivor" that started the truth craze. Now in its sixth season, it's very popular.But TV writer Stephen Godchaux says, "People much like me are worrying, I'm worrying."And with good reason, Hughes points out: the bachelorette picking her man scored huge ratings now, and "American Idol" was another major hit for Fox. Now there's even a show called "Are You Hot" on ABC.Godchaux asked Hughes: "You possess a playboy bunny being dipped into a vat of spiders. What sort of fictitious script can tackle this?"But Hughes says, beyond reality TV's immense popularity, which many believe will burn up, there's an even bigger shift in TV viewing coming.Prompted by personal video recorders such as Tgivo, which allow you to view programs while skipping the commercials, "There will probably be a significant change in way advertisements work, that is certainly you're going to have to put the ads into the content," says Robert Thompson, a Syracuse University professor of television.As with the old Texaco Star Theater, quite simply product placement, Hughes explains. The networks, she says, may head back into incorporating commercials into programming as a means of hanging onto their advertising bread and butter.CBS's Moonves says, "The day will come, and it probably won't help the quality of those shows, when you see a Ray Romano drinking dieting Coke."And Hughes says that day might not be far off: one network is talking to Pepsi about to be the sole sponsor of its newest reality program. Contestants, who win a location on the show by bying Pepsi products, would then face off the chance to get rich. If you have one of those old mesh playpens that fold in two, it might be among nearly Ten million playpens that have been recalled by the Consumer Product Safety Commission, reports CBS News Correspondent Dan Raviv.As many as eight children have died since 1982 when their pacifier strings or loose clothing snagged on protruding rivets and strangled them.Some recalled items go as far back to 1960, while others were created as recently as May. They carry the brand names:Bilt-RiteEvenfloGerryGracoKolcraftPlayskoolPride-TrimbleStroleeThe federal safety commission initially blamed six from the eight playpen deaths over the past 16 years on pacifiers with strings and also the other two on sweaters with loose strings. It linked the strangulation deaths to playpens in 2010. The sale of pacifiers with strings has become prohibited since 1977, but that does not keep parents from putting pacifiers on string or ribbon when they get them home. The agency reiterated its admonition that the pacifier should never be hung around a child's neck. Two of the eight information mill out of business, but the other six are offering a variety of remedies, including repair kits and money awards upon proof that the potentially dangerous playpen has been destroyed. The safety agency said consumers should look into the outside top rails of playpens for protruding metal rivets, that happen to be similar to nut and bolt fasteners but have fixed heads than can neither be removed nor tightened. The offending loose rivets typically protrude about one-quarter to one-half inch on the surface top rails of the playpens. If protruding rivets are located, consumers are urged to call 1-800-794-4115 for information about what to do. The agency also referred people to its Internet site, www.cpsc.gov.
The Senate hearing had yet to begin when a dispute erupted over whether the top executives of five major oil companies should testify under oath regarding record profits.Democrats wanted it that way, but Republicans balked, calling a real move a needless photo op that smacked of grandstanding. So no oath was taken.From the three hours that followed, the executives, whose companies and parent corporations earned $32.8 billion during the last quarter, provided little beyond what the industry has been saying for weeks: Their earnings are huge because the industry is huge; nokia's are ready to invest billions of dollars to obtain more oil; and if Congress efforts to punish them by imposing a windfall profits tax, it is going to only lead to fewer such investments.CBS News correspondent Bob Orr reports oil executives blamed gas station owners for wildly fluctuating prices on the pump and blamed OPEC for the high cost of oil.From July through September, Orr adds, ExxonMobil made nearly $10Billion, Shell earned $9 billion, B.P., $6.5 billion, and Conoco-Phillips and Chevron, over $3 billion each -- $33 billion, or $110 for every single man, woman and child in the United States.The oil executives found little sympathy from senators, who said their constituents suffer from high energy prices while Big Oil makes big profits.Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., cited multimillion-dollar bonuses atop multimillion-dollar salaries and share the executives are getting while "working people struggle" to pay for gasoline and face the specter of soaring home heating bills."People are worried about fairness and justice at a time of sacrifice," Boxer told the executives. "Your sacrifice appears to be nothing."None of the executives responded.There is a "growing suspicion that oil publication rack taking unfair advantage," said Pete Domenici, R-N.M. "The oil companies owe the American people an explanation."Talking to reporters following the executives were dismissed, Domenici praised them for answering the questions but added, "The question of gouging still remains" mysterious. no previous page next 1/3 Computer troubles at an air-traffic control center stalled flights into and out of your New York area's three major airports Friday.In an unrelated glitch Friday, Air Force One dropped off air traffic radars for 36 seconds mainly because it was en route to the Boston area, CBS News Correspondent Bob Orr reports. The challenge was related to an air-traffic control antenna in New Jersey.In New York, the problem was centered with an air-traffic control center, TRACON (Terminal Radar Approach Control), according to Westbury, Long Island. Flights were delayed at New York's LaGuardia and Kennedy airports along with the Newark, N.J., airport, said Eliot Brenner, a spokesman for that Federal Aviation Administration in Washington. Flights scheduled for first time York arrival were being held in their departure points, Brenner said. The computer problem involved new TRACON software that has been first loaded at 5:30 a.m. When technicians couldn't understand it to work, the old software was reloaded by 7:10 a.m. Brenner said. "We were testing new software, then when we brought the older software up - the traditional software that we use each day - that's when we started obtaining the problem," said Arlene Salac, an FAA spokeswoman in The big apple. The radar system handles arrivals and departures within 60 miles in the airports along with the airport towers. "There's very little traffic at that hour, hence the ripple effect of the dilemma is not expected to be extensive," Brenner said. Newark Airport reported the longest delays, up to two hours, said Sgt. Donald Kupper with the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which runs the three airports. LaGuardia experienced initial delays around 45 minutes that were cut down about 15 minutes, and Kennedy reported minimal delays by 7:30 a.m. The TRACON center controls aircraft following your planes rise to an altitude which can be between 11,000 and 17,000 feet. Once planes travel beyond its radius, these are handed off to one of 21 regional FAA centers in the united states. The software is designed to improve air safety by relieving controllers of busy work.
Throughout the country today it was precaution industry by storm peril. mulberry style bags Islamic clerics expressed outrage Thursday at television footage that purportedly shows U.S. soldiers burning the particular groups of two dead Taliban fighters to taunt other militants and warned of the possible violent anti-American backlash.President Hamid Karzai condemned the alleged desecration and ordered an inquiry. The operational commander in the U.S. military in Afghanistan, which launched its criminal probe, said the alleged act, if true, was "repugnant."Worried regarding the potential for anti-American feelings over the incident, hawaii Department said it instructed U.S. embassies world wide to tell local governments that the reported abuse did not reflect American values.Cremating bodies is banned under Islam, the other Muslim leader in Afghanistan compared the video to photographs of U.S. troops abusing prisoners at Iraq's Abu Ghraib prison."Abu Ghraib ruined the reputation of the Americans in Iraq and me this is even worse," said Faiz Mohammed, a top cleric in northern Kunduz province. "This is against Islam. Afghans is going to be shocked by this news. It's very humiliating. There will be very, dangerous consequences from this."Anger also was evident within the streets."If they continue to execute such actions against us, our people will change their policy and interact with the same policy against them," said Mehrajuddin, a resident of Kabul, who like many Afghans uses only 1 name.Another man within the capital, Zahidullah, said the reported abuse was like atrocities committed by Soviet troops, who were driven out of Afghanistan in 1989 from a decade of occupation. He warned how the same could happen to American forces. no previous page next 1/3
For people suffering from intense physical pain, standard medical treatments and drugs do not always work. Some chronic pain patients have turned to alternative therapies for help, reports Correspondent Helen Chickering of CBS News Affiliate WBTV in Charlotte, N.C.A vehicle accident five years ago wrecked Virginia Connoly's life."I had a lot of broken bones in the upper a part of my body," Connoly says. "The breast bone was broken, the clavicle bone was broken, shattered on the left side, ribs were broken about the right side."The broken bones healed, but her pain only got worse. She had physical and medicinal therapies. Nothing worked."He tells me, 'You have to deal with this. You have to live such as this,'" she says, recalling her doctor's consultation. "'There is certainly not I can do to help you.'"Connoly says he offered drug therapies, but she would not want to take pain medicine anymore. On the advice of a friend, she visited see Dr. Ray Drury, a chiropractor.His goal is to buy to the root of the pain problem, not only treat the symptoms. He believes Connoly's pain comes from a misalignment in her neck."We're trying to find that impedement, open that up, thenit will start working," Drury explains."There are gone 600 million office visits to providers of other care," says Dr. David Eisenberg of Beth Israel Medicine Center. "By contrast there are just 380 million office visits to all primary care physicians combined. It is really an enormous part of the system."Dr. Gerald Aronoff, an experienced professional who has written a book on chronic pain, says many patients take Connoly's path."If it will help, it works, if it doesn't cause any adverse unwanted effects and seems reasonable, The year progresses along with patients on some things," Aronoff says. "However, when they are doing this long-term and saying, 'I'm still in treatment, therefore i can't get on with my life,' I tend to cut that off, because care is designed or should be meant to help people function better and get on with their life," he adds.Connoly says she's got been able to move on from her pain."I was relieved from the pain and I still -- it is still unreal to me," she says. "I do not have this pain after I dealt with it for four years at the time. I'm able to work. I have no pain." mulberry antony messenger To many people Richard Seron is a life saver.A security guard at 1 of 2 Boston abortion clinics where John Salvi opened fire nearly 4 years ago, Seron engaged in gunfire with the anti-abortion protestor and forced Salvi to flee. Seron, who was awarded a symbolic life preserver as soon as the incident, was one of four people wounded inside the attack, which left two people dead. Today, reports CBS News Correspondent Elizabeth Kaledin, Seron sees himself like a different sort of symbol. "I believe that by stopping John Salvi's plans for mass murder," Seron said, "I probably stand as being a symbol in the eyes of the most extreme factions in the pro-life movement."His fears were confirmed as he found his name listed together with doctors and nurses who perform abortions on a Web site identifying them as foes of the right-to-life movement.Dr. Barnett Slepian, whose name have also been on that list, was killed by the sniper at his Buffalo home ten days ago. Slepian's name was crossed off on the Web site hours after he was killed.Seron, now retired, never opens his blinds, has installed a $5,000 home security system, and wouldn't even speak to reporters until they produced identification."I never leave the house without a sidearm, " he said. "And I keep one right near my bed about the night table."In the current climate, he was quoted saying, anyone associated with abortions is at risk. Slepian's death is assumed linked to attacks on four other Buffalo-area doctors during the last four years. None of the other attacks was fatal.The FBI is investigating a hoax by which letters threatening an anthrax attack were mailed to eight abortion clinics within the Midwest Friday and Saturday.Salvi, in prison for murder in the two Dec. 30, 1994 attacks, died associated with an apparent suicide in November 1996 at the Massachusetts prison where he was serving a lifestyle sentence.Salvi was convicted of killing Lee Ann Nichols, 38, and Shanon Lowney, 25, both receptionists in women's health clinics that performed abortions. Salvi's attorney had argued that Salvi would have been a paranoid schizophrenic who suffered from delusions of persecution. He previously asked that Salvi be declared incompetent to face trial, but the judge declined to take action.
California Lt. Gov. Cruz Bustamante has a significant lead over actor Arnold Schwarzenegger in the race to succeed Gov. Gray Davis, in accordance with a new poll released Saturday night.Of 801 likely voters surveyed from the Los Angeles Times, 35 percent backed Bustamante, a Democrat, and 22 percent supported Schwarzenegger, a Republican.Poll data released Friday by the Times showed 50 percent offer the effort to oust Davis and 45 percent oppose it.The newest numbers for Bustamante differ from others released lately. Surveys through the Public Policy Institute of California and Field Poll showed Bustamante and Schwarzenegger within five percentage points of one another.Behind Schwarzenegger in the Times poll were three other Republicans: state Sen. Tom McClintock, with 12 percent; former baseball commissioner Peter Ueberroth, with 7 percent; and Bill Simon, with Six percent.Simon, who won the Republican primary recently but lost to Davis by five percentage points in November, backed out of the race Saturday. He said his decision to withdraw took it's origin from his belief that there were "too many Republicans" in the race, and the poll results may bear that out.CBS News Correspondent Steve Futterman reports Simon's move has become a boost for Schwarzenegger's campaign, since they were both essentially going after exactly the same voters.Six out of 10 Democrats said they'd decided who to support in the recall, compared with 46 percent of Republicans.Political commentator Arianna Huffington, that is running a nonpartisan campaign, was named by Three percent of respondents, and Green Party candidate Peter Camejo tied Hustler magazine publisher Larry Flynt with 1 percent.The poll results also showed much could still change ahead of the Oct. 7 special election. Among likely voters, 46 percent said they may change their mind about who to aid before Oct. 7.The poll surveyed 1,351 people, identifying 801 likely voters, between Aug. 16 and Aug. 21. Its margin of error was plus or minus 3 percentage points. Growing concern that smallpox might someday fall under the hands of bio-terrorists has spurred a debate over vaccinating people as being a precaution. The Early Show's Medical Correspondent Dr. Emily Senay explains medical of mass vaccination. Smallpox is often a highly infectious and extremely deadly disease due to the Variola virus. It kills another of those it infects. The vaccine can be so effective, it medical personnel to eradicate the sickness. Once it was gone, routine vaccinations stopped. Since the protective effect wears off over time, everyone, including someone who was vaccinated in childhood, is now vulnerable. Fears about smallpox have galvanized a tremendous effort to stockpile smallpox vaccine and to prepare emergency plans, should an outbreak be detected. The good news is it looks as if the existing inventory of vaccine could be diluted to provide effective doses for huge numbers of people, if necessary. Also, the government has ordered more vaccine to make up any shortages.The question is who should get the vaccine and when. The CDC is recommending that 500,000 hospital workers be vaccinated as being a precaution. The final decision hasn't been made by the president yet. He must decide whether to also include up to ten million more emergency responders, including police and paramedics, or to vaccinate the whole population.There are already plans to vaccinate about 50 % a million military personnel. You will find there's reluctance to vaccinate everybody because the vaccine is made of a potentially dangerous live virus called Vaccinia. If everybody in the U.S. were routinely vaccinated, it's estimated that hundreds would die each and every year and thousands would become severely ill. The more common side effects include fever, headache, nausea, muscle aches, lesions, pain and swelling.The security issue is once again at the forefront of the talk, with a new proposal to test the safety of the vaccine in toddlers and preschoolers. There are several who believe that the risk of a smallpox attack is not enought to warrant the use of a potentially dangerous vaccine in otherwise healthy people, especially children. Those who get the vaccine are also contagious for a while and could spread it unknowingly to folks who haven't been vaccinated. Vaccination of select people should be done carefully to avoid infecting others. Routine smallpox vaccinations resulted in the U.S. in 1972, and many experts believe that those last vaccinated Three decades ago have little immunity remaining.
