earlier we told but searches at the home and office of michael jackson's doctor in las vegas. a source tells us dr. conrad murray allegedly gave jackson pro poto in the 24 hours before his death. murray's attorney said the doctor never gave jackson anything that could have killed him. dr. gupta took us into the operating room to show us how fast this drug, would. >> ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one. >> and the patient stopped breathing shortly after he was given the drug and they had to put in a breathing tube which i believe is standard. most doctors say it should only be used in hospital. that patient is doing just fine. he's wake and had no

complications, thankfully. there's new hope for people with spinal cord injuries but one downside. a case of the blues. reporter jacolia ellis from rochester, new york, has the story. >> researchers at the u of r medical center are always looking for new ways to treat people. recently, they injected the drug brilliant blue g into rats with spinal cord injuries. it worked. the rats were able to walk again. >> the function improved faster and they eventually was able to do more with their limbs. >> the drug is similar to the blue dye used to tint m&ms and gatorade. the average american it's 14 milligrams of this dye a day. >> we're optimistic what we will need to give to patients will be every bit as harmless in terms of side effects as what we normally ingest every day. >> there is one temporary side effect. this is one of the rats used in the experiment. you can see his ears and feet

are tinted blue. a small price to pay. >> it makes them better but for a patient with spinal cord injury, a small improvement is a big deal. >> blue dye is already approved by the food & drug administration but because bbg is a slightly different chemical more tests are needed to to make sure they're save and effective in people. if they are, this gives us a leg up in identifying a family of molecules. >> it could be several years before the drug could be used in people. jacolia ellis, news 8. >> should it you always be discreet when you tweet? a woman's actually getting sued by her landlord for using twitter to air her complaints. is her landlord crossing the line? your view next.

there she is. her phone call has sparked a national debate on race, including whether the call itself was racist. that's lucia whalen.

she says the controversy has made her literally afraid. elaine quijano is with us from our boston bureau with the latest developments in the arrest of harvard professor. we watched it live when it happened a couple of hours ago. it was obvious she was really emotional about this. >> yeah, you know, you could definitely tell that. i was there at that news conference. are you absolutely right. i mean, she was visibly shaken by all of this. she said basically that she had been through the emotional wringer. you could see that. her husband was there at the mic with her along with wendy murphy, lucia whalen's attorney. it's interesting though, she says that despite everything, she still would do the same thing again and call 911. nevertheless, she says she has been criticized as a racist for calling 911. some people basically saying a white woman afraid of seeing black men in her neighborhood, that's why she called 911. as we now know from the 911 tape

itself, she never mentioned the words "two black men," and in fact she says she's really been devastated by these accusations against her. she said that is not how at all she was raised. >> i am proud to have been raised by two loving parents who instilled in me values including love one another, be kind to strangers and do not judge people based on race, ethnicity or any other feature other than their character. >> now, whalen also said she never really had an extended conversation with sergeant james crowley on the scene that day. of professor gates arrest. she said that she basically when she saul sergeant crowley said look, i'm the 911 caller. he told her to stay put. but beyond that, they never had

any kind of words. that contradicts what the sergeant wrote in his own police report where he says lucia actually told him that there were two black males with backpacks on the porch. so the cambridge police have not offered a really clear explanation for why there's been this discrepancy. that remains a question. in the meantime, we all know the big meet tomorrow taking place tomorrow night at the white house. that's where president obama, professor gates and sergeant crowley are going to talk things over over some beers. christi? >> which gives us we think okay, what is that going to be like. do you have any preview for us as to what the atmosphere will be like because we know that the president has spoken with both of these men already by phone. >> right. right. i mean, you can imagine it's probably going to be a little bit tense, maybe a little bit awkward at first. but obviously what the president is trying to do here is to make this what he's called a teachable moment to, have some

dialogue. it's not going to be in front of the cameras as far as we know. they're going to be sitting on the south lawn at a picnic table having these beers an these discussions. what's going to be really interesting is to see what happens out of this. are they going to have the cameras come in, make statements? a lot of attention paid to body language, all that kind of thing because obviously, this is such a highly charged issue here but people are going to be paying very close attention. >> they have up to this point, too. elaine, thank you so much for the update. always good to see you. former secretary of state colin powell thinks cambridge police and harvard profess ter henry gates could have handle this had arrest a lot better. his response on "larry king live" is pretty popular on cnn.com right now. he said that the police escalated the situation beyond  reasonable level but the professor who powell calls skip should have been more patient. >> you're saying gates was wrong? >> i'm saying that skip perhaps in this instance might have

waited awhile, come outside, talked to the officer, and that might have been the end of it. i think he should have reflected on whether or not this was the time to make that big a deal. >> now, powell also said he has been a victim of racial profiling including when he was national security advisor to president reagan. gates and sergeant james crowley as elaine told us there, crowley of course, is the officer who made that arrest will meet with president obama at the white house tomorrow. we'll be covering that for you. we're getting word of a major agreement that would clear the way for a house vote on its version of the health care reform bill. this is happening as president obama hitting the road today to push for an overhaul of the nation's ailing medical system. back in washington though, the final holdouts within the democratic party have signed onto the house version of the reform bill and the blue dogs had said it cost too much. in raleigh, north carolina, the president was reassuring his audiences in spite of what critics say, people shouldn't be afraid of reform.

>> i have been as clear as i can be under the reform i proposed, if you like your doctor, you keep your doctor. if you like your health care plan, you keep your health care plan. these folks need to stop scaring everybody. you know? >> even with the agreement today, the house measure may not head to the floor for a vote until after the august recess. they'd be cranking up the heat. the ac i should say in the pacific northwest if they had any. it's the heat that's really cranking up. triple digit temperatures triggered heed advisories in a region known for its cool weather here. the forecast high for seattle today is 100. which would make it the hottest day on record there. the unusual heat wave has lasted for several days at this point but winds off the pacific ocean may cool things down a bit. hopefully by friday for all of you there. we're learning even more about the final moments of michael jackson's life. paramedics said the superstar

wasn't breathing, had no pulse when they got to his rented home. a fire department official said he received every possible life saving treatment, what they called the hallelujah package. paramedics also said they worked on him for 42 minutes, that he was too far gone to be rushed to the hospital and said his personal physician, dr. conrad murray was there and that he was calling the shots. >> he took responsible at the scene this fire captain told me. nervous charge, calling the shots. he decided and determined that it was best to work on him there for those 42 minutes and try and get him breathing at the scene. the captain told me when a patient is pulseless and not breathing, there are many things that paramedics can do to try to get the heart beating again. they gave him oxygen and medicines he would not name. nothing seemed to work. this was treatment that was prescribed at the scene and that's why he wasn't transported. >> a source tells cnn final toxicology and autopsy reports on jackson's death will be

released next week. remember earlier, the coroner's office said the reports might be released this week but that's being pushed back. federal authorities are looking for an eighth expect in connection with an alleged north carolina terror group. they believe he may be in pakistan. daniel boyd, a drywall contractor and his two sons are among the seven people arrested thus far. accused of plotting a violent jihad overseas. investigators say boyd who is the son of a marine and who is a american citizen was the group's ringleader and say he spent three years in the middle east secretly buying guns and recruiting groups to kidnap and kill people. >> i think the reason why they wrapped up the case at this point was that they were thwarted in carrying out jihad overseas and with the arsenal that they had collected, a has i be arsenal, they believed the u.s. was an infidel country that could be targeted, they swore allegiance to martyrdom. that meant they were prepared to die in the course of carrying out suicide bombings.

therefore, the possibility existed that they would train their ire on the united states and carry out attacks here. >> a security official says the boyd family tried to get into israel two years ago but were refused entry. the official did not say why they were stopped. boyd's wife sabrina contends her family traveled to the middle east for peaceful reasons including praying for a son who died in a car crash and says her family's good and decent and had weapons because they enjoyed hunting and shooting. here she is. she said she has been in contact with her husband. >> i spoke to him. he seemed okay. he said they're innocent. the truth will come out. they're making a lot about nothing. and just for us to be strong because we know we're okay. we're innocent. we're -- we're just trying to be muslim in a country who is

supposed to assure us our freedom of religion. >> neighbors have expressed shock about the allegations saying the boyds were the nicest people and seemed very close. all the suspects will be in court tomorrow though for a detention hearing. a new jersey mayor arrested in that massive corruption investigation has resigned. an attorney representing dennis elwell of secaucus says this doesn't mean his client is guilty. >> i'm glad he resigned. it was the best thing that he could have did. >> he's in a tough situation. we just wish him well. >> i don't think he can governor under that cloud of suspicion. so, i'm very happy and i think it's the best thing for all of secaucus. >> meanwhile, a political consultant arrested in the aim investigation was found dead at his home last night. a prosecutor said it's not clear how jack shaw died but that it was not homicide. 44 people were arrested last week for allegedly taking bribes. two major players joining

forces to try to take down google. the search for a search engine partnership and whether google's days at number one might be numbered.

in a world where google basically has become a verb meaning to search online, it's been almost impossible for any other company to crack the internet search market. a major deal today though could prompt a change in that. cnn.com live anchor reggie aqui here to tell us what's happening in one of the most popular stories on cnn.com right now. >> that's right. we talked awhile ago about perhaps microsoft buying yahoo!.

that didn't work out. now the two are coming together on the search engine front and each getting something out of it, of course. microsoft has got this new revamped search engine called bing. and they're trying to make bing the new google. right now bing is way behind.é you know as any sort of startup if you consider microsoft a startup in the search business can be. they've teamed up now with yahoo! so bing will be powering yahoo!'s search engine. in exchange yahoo! is going to be doing the advertiser search results that come up knit that you put an item into a search. so yahoo! takes care of the ad stuff and then microsoft takes care of the actual search engine so they each get something out of it. this is a ten-year deal. when you look at just how big yahoo! is search wise compared to google, it doesn't even compare. yahoo! right now at 19%, a distant second. bing makes up 8%. if you do the math and figure if those two companies come

together, then you're around 27% and could they grow bigger than that, now you have a real challenge to google. that's what this is about. i do have to say, we talked to an expert today here who does search for cnn.com. he was tell us don't look for this to happen tomorrow. you're not going to find yahoo! tomorrow is powered by bing. this is something at the earliest won't be happening till 2010. it is big news today. >> i know something else a lot of people are clicking on today. obviously, these are some pretty tough times for the american farmer. i understand though there's one operation in particular that's saving money by having cows supply supply not only the milk but the power, as well. >> i was just going to say, i wonder how you're going to carefully put that out there. i will take this over for you and do the dirty work. cow's milk only gets you so much money and the prices for milk not reaching an all-time high as we're all suffering in the economy. here's what they're doing,

powering the farm by the cow's waste products. all right? here's what they do. they've got 600 milking cows at a fourth generation farm in pennsylvania, the hill crest sailor dairy farm. where the manure goes, they now have a machine that collects that manure. called a digester. seems like a good name to me. it stores it for about 16 days and creates meg that ingas. that gas is enough to power the farm. and a neighboring home. it's of course, environmentally friendly in addition to that, it establishes the farmer money because $200,000 he would usually pay in power bills he can now put in his pocket. now, the flipside to that is it costs about 1 million bucks to install a system. it will take a few years to recoup his costs. after that, he can essentially not pay for power at all. the owner says if his great grandfather were alive today, he wouldn't believe the story if you told him. >> somehow i believe that.

all right, reggie, thank you so much. >> you're welcome. >> sure. you know, when you post on facebook or twitter, do you ever stop to consider what you say could get you sued? you could lose your job? you could land in jail maybe? here are three cautionary tales for you. a political aide in new york has resigned after one of her facebook posts create add uproar at city hall. we're talking about lee landor who wrote about president obama's reaction to the arrest of harvard professor henry gates. a source says lando resigned after being told jump or be pushed.. in chicago, there's a woman being sued over a tweet twitter post. her post said her landlord rented her a moldy apartment. a company sued her for
