yam graduate student writes an article on campus crime and safety. now it looks like the missing woman has become a victim herself. if prosecutors have their way, this florida rape and murder suspect would have been execute bid now. instead, he is a free man. test results are in for world class athlete caught up in a jenner dispute and a lot of people are shocked. the answer that may only lead to more questions and confusion. we'll break it down. i'm susan hendricks. welcome to hln "news and views." so glad you're with us on this friday, september 11th. we want to go straight to a coast guard presser that's going on for more information on that

training exercise that caused some concern in d.c. take a listen. >> -- that really was just that. our people have to train. they do it on a routine and normal basis. we coordinate our training with the other federal agencies. we have very, very well-developed protocols for protection of the national capital region. this being a normal training exercise preplanned, the coordination was minimal with other federal agencies. i want to re-emphasize that no shots were fired. there was no suspect vessel. there was no criminal activity. this was a preplanned, normal training exercise. i'm happy to take any questions that you might have. >> was there a discussion of shooting the guns or the frequency that led to this? >> on channel 81, which is an open frequency, but a coast guard discrete working

frequency, part of the protocol in their training is verbalization of gunfire and orders between the boats simulating what we would normally do if we were intercepting a suspect vessel. that bang bang was verbalized on the radio. but i want to re-emphasize that no shots were fired, no weapons were refrained, no ammunition was loaded. this was strictly on the radio, a verbalization. that's a normal technique that happens all over the united states in major ports where our people train to interdict potential terrorist threats. no, somebody said bang bang on the radio at the appropriate time in the training exercise when the actual intradiction of the boat would have taken place. the president was not in the area. he had been at the pentagon

earlier this morning. he was not near where this training exercise was taking place. there was no prenotification of secret service, to my knowledge, because this is, as i said, a routine training exercise. >> i'm going to take the questions and i promise to get to everybody. you. >> vice admiral john courier from the coast guard talking about today's training exercise, saying no one was ever in any danger, no shots were fired. we want to bring in mike brooks, security analyst. he heard him say it, he keeps calling this a normal training exercise. but 9/11 today certainly not a normal day. what do you think about the day selected to do this? >> susan, with all respect, i think the coast guard, they do a fine guard of homeland security and protecting the waterways of united states. but i'm sorry, you do not conduct a training exercise like

this on 9/11 under any circumstances. but the main part of this, susan, and i've been on the phone all morning since this happened talking to my law enforcement source in washington, you know, keep in mind that i was with the metropolitan police department there in washington for 26 years and last 6 or them i was assigned full-time to the joint terrorism task force. my law enforcement sources in d.c. close to this situation are telling me that d.c. police harbor patrol, which is responsible foreign fo enforcem the potomac river where this takes place, was never notified by the u.s. coast guard that this was going to happen. equivalent of a federal law enforcement agency was going to conduct, you know, a terrorist exercise on 9/11 -- on pennsylvania avenue in washington, not notifying the metropolitan police department or secret service. it's unconscionable to not let the secret officers that patrol

this on a regular basis not to know this happens. >> he says this happens every day, it's normal training. who should be held responsible here? one person that dropped the ball or lack of communication down a lon long line? >> well, you have to go back to where these coast guard officers, where these people are assigned. and that is apparently coast guard station washington. who gave the ultimate decision, who gave the ultimate permission, yeah, go ahead and have this training, they're calling it exercise, i've heard it called evolution. it's still training conducted on 9/11. whoever that was, man or woman who decided to say, let's go ahead and do this, on 9/11, right after, you know, the president has been over the bridge, shortly after the president returned to the white house from the pentagon. whoever was responsible for that, i think needs -- has some explaining to do. and to say -- for the vice admiral to say this is routine and done on a normal basis, 9/11 is not routine to anyone.

i mean, i lost five friends during 9/11. and to me, this is not a normal/ day. >> no, it's not. mike brooks, thanks so much for your expertise. we appreciate that. thanks, and your sources. 9/11, of course, we are following that remembering the victims today, live pictures for the first time this year. the 9/11 anniversary is being observed as a day of service. new yorkers are honoring those who helped in rescue and recovery efforts at the attack sites. you're looking at pictures of ground zero. it is, of course, is also a day of remembrance for the nearly 3,000 people killed in those attacks. the names right now of those killed in the twin towers are being read out loud. and the memorial is also going on in pennsylvania where united airlines flight 93 went down. we'll are gathering there to remember the heroic passengers who rushed the cockpit in an attempt to overpower the hijackers. that's in pennsylvania. also moments of silence were

irregularities in some voter registration cards they were receiving. leading to 11 arrest warrants being issued for 11 voter registration workers in that state. take a listen. >> it's important that the public understand it had nothing to do with voting. these people did not vote. they didn't go to the polls to vote. they weren't sent any absentee ballots. these were simply lists of people who they say, you know, basically these hourly workers are saying they were recruiting to register to vote. >> founded in 1970, in case you don't know, a.c.o.r.n. describes itself as the largest grass roots community organization of law and moderate income people. the south carolina republican who shouted "you lie" to president obama wednesday night said the outburst was not planned. in an interview with wvoc, radio representative joe wilson denied speculation he may have intended to disrupt the president's health care speech to congress. >> when it was stated that it

wouldn't apply to illegal aliens, i just -- i just -- i just couldn't -- i truly had to speak out. >> did you snap? >> no, no. >> it wasn't reprpremeditates? >> no, i didn't snap either. if i snapped, i would have kept on objecting but i didn't. >> he shouted it after president obama said illegal immigrants would not get free health care under the plan. wilson has sense apologized and obama accepted that apology. as we all know, the stock market can certainly get confusing if you don't know where to invest your funds. but hln money expert clark howard tells you how. >> i am obsessed with something known as index funds. how can somebody be obsessed with something like that? i mean, it's a thing. well, it's a good thing for you. what's an index fund anyway? it's where's instead of you buying an investment, individual

stock or buying a mutual fund where some brainy ak tries to figure out what to buy, what to sell, how much of it to get. in an index fund, it's really simple. you just buy all the big companies in the country. 500 of those. or you buy what is the total stock market, which is generally considered to be thousands of companies, where you own little slices and dices of them. the advantage of an index fund? well, you don't need a brainiac to figure out what to buy and sell, they just buy everything. so what your charge and management fees, tiny. here's the big news, new report from the "wall street journal" finds that for bonds, 90% of the time an index fund will beat a manager. for stocks? 60% of the time. i'm clark howard. for more ways for you to pack a punch in your wallet, go to cnn.com/clarkhoward. >> clark certainly has great advice. we are certainly all feeling the pinch of this shaky economy. hln money expert clark howard is

are reduced? yes. so i think us trying -- all we can do is take preventive efforts and precautions to try and reduce the amount of attacks that happen. i think as long as there's somebody that's willing to do harm to other people, then there's going to be people on the other side trying to prevent that. but there's no one government, there no one person, no president, republican or democrat, that can keep us 100% safe. i think that's important for everybody to remember. all we can do is just try our best. >> thank you. we go to janet in santa ana, california. janet, do you feel that we're desensitized at all for this? do you feel safer when traveling? >> when traveling, i feel as safe as i could feel. but i think overall, our

consensus from our eight-year study of 9/11 reveal that we did not connect the dots. and it is obvious from numerous events that have occurred that, again, we have not connected the dots. >> what do you think needs to be done? >> we need to vet our president. >> all right. janet, thanks for your view. thanks for calling in. we go to nina now in tennessee. nina, how do you feel eight years after the fact? any more safe, less safe? do you feel like we're desensitized as a country? >> as for being safe and not safe and flying, i find that there's not enough security in a lot of the airports. to me things recently things have slipped by like the guy on law and order getting through with a gun before they got him. said he was an ex-cop and forgot he had it. on a general basis, i think americans are desensitized on a lot of things, including

holocaust. 9/11 was eight years ago, as american view things, that was eight years ago. it can't possibly happen again. but unfortunately it can happen again. it can happen in a big walmart shopping center. it can happen at savannah river plant in south carolina. and we need to constantly know this and not be too complacent as we go about our daily lives. >> nina, we appreciate your phone call. we heard it before that we're getting used to a new normal. that none of us will be the same after 9/11. we've been getting a lot of texts and e-mails on this subject today on 9/11. denise in detroit writes, i am a flight attendant. every workday for us is 9/11. our things to denise. also getting a lot of facebook comments as well. mindy posted, some people may be desensitized by the events of that day. personally, it still makes me want to cry when i see footage or think about it. like so many other people watch that memorial today in new york and pennsylvania and the pentagon. we also want to hear from you.

do you think we are desin si advertised from the events of eight years ago sfl give us a call, send us an e-mail, or text. ÷

as america remembers the events of 9/11, a security scare near the pentagon turns out to be a coastguard exercise. the u.s. coast guard appear to be trying to block a boat from entering a restrictive zone in the potomac river today. federal emergency operation centers today say they have no idea about this training exercise. moments ago the chief of staff for the coast guard spoke about the incident. >> before we have very well defined security protocols in the national capital region. apparently what happened is due to press reports and uncertainty generated by press reports, the faa reacted by putting a ground

halt on a small number of aircraft at reagan national until they could sort out the information. >> as i once said about the fly-over, the buzz over lower manhattan, it would be felony stupidity if they decided to run a training exercise on september 11th at about the same time the president was at the pentagon. it is unconceivable that any right thinking person in the government would approve a training exercise on this day. >> because of that incident, the faa had to put a ground halt on a small number of flights at reagan national airport. for the first time this year the 9/11 anniversary is being observed as a day of service. new yorkers are honoring those who helped in rescue and recovery efforts at the attack sites. it is also a day of remembrance for the nearly 3,000 people killed in the attacks. there's the opening bell on wall street. the names of those killed in the twin towers were read as part of a ceremony. a memorial, of course, is also going on in pennsylvania as well.

include breaks, specifically for hydration. >> is it objectionable to making kids keep running -- >> it would not be wise because that's an indication that there's a heat illness. >> stinson pleaded not guilty from the charges from gilpin's death. they describe the practice as hard but not outside the per m perimeters. we are talking health now. good news if you don't like shots, that's most of us. looks like the newest h1n1 vaccine can be with one shot. the study but the u.s. and australian scientists also found the vaccine takes effect eight to ten days later. you still need a regular flu shot though, which you can get now. the h1n1 vaccine will be available next month. here's a question, what provoked that republican lawmaker to shout "you lied" during the president's health care speech. you're about to hear from him.

recorded a conversation with two acorn workers. the man who recorded the videos is an independent filmmaker. acorn is a liberal community organizing group. the undercover sting shows the pair approaching two women working at the acorn office in baltimore, maryland. they are heard on the video asking for advice on how to set up a prostitution ring involving more than a dozen underage girls 14, 15, 16 years old. one of the acorn workers tells the pair, you want to keep them clean making sthe ining sure th school and train them to keep their mouths shut. the pair said they could declare the young girls as dependents to receive child tax credits. a worker suggested that she refer to herself as a performing artist on tax forms and to stop telling yourself a prostitute.

here's how all of that unfolded. >> okay. let see what we got here. performance arts. you can be that. your business is a performing artist. which you are. okay. so you're not lying. you're a performing artist. okay. so stop saying prostitute. >> cnn has reached out to acorn's national offices and we talked to a spokeperson there. he says the portrayal is false and inflammatory and an attempt at gotcha journalism. he also told us today that the filmmakers made similar efforts in other cities and in those cities acorn workers actually reported the filmmakers to the

police. we're trying to get copies of those police reports. also it was said the video was doctored and that the group is considering legal action against the filmmakers and in a letter they sent to fox news which also has been reporting on the story, acorn claims the questions asked by the filmmakers were edited in after the fact and that one of the staff members involved said she was never asked questions on tape. now, she goes on to say -- we want to read you the actual thing that she says. so this story just goes on and on. >> one of my questions when i now seeing it, i read all about it, and you covered it, the legitimacy of the video. cnn and hln when we get something, we have to question whether it is in fact legitimate. also though, what are authorities doing? are they looking into that? >> we did contact the baltimore police department and at this

point that right now there is no investigation. that could change. one other thing i want to tell you about is just like within the last few minutes before we came on set here, we're finding out that there may be another videotape that's popped up by the filmmaker. this one based in the acorn offices in d.c. we're going to look into that and keep reporting on this. you did bring up quickly that idea of legitimacy. there are black spots in this tape where it goes to black and it was edited. you're right. it's not like this is cnn video. this is something we need to be careful with and keep looking into it. another tape is popping up. >> we'll let you get back to your office and make those calls. thank you so much for that. a high school teacher in washington state has been charged with having sex with a student. authorities say michelle taylor had sex with a 16-year-old student in the back of her truck in a kmart parking lot in may. they also say she sent suggestive photograph of herself to another male student. the 31-year-old is a mother of

did the president lie? a review from our sister network finds that he did not. in fact, it shows the president's plan could require illegal immigrants to buy health coverage but they would have to pay for it. some republicans still say illegal immigrants could end up getting federal subsidies because they say there are not enough requirements to verify someone's citizenship. leaders in the democratic party in the house say they are planning to vote to admonish republican joe wilson if he does not make another apology to president obama. wilson shouted out "you lie" while the president was speaking about health care reform

remains to have at least the first phase of the permanent memorial open by the ten-year anniversary in 2011. to give you a sense of where we are, it looks like we're in the middle of nowhere but that's the essence of this place. behind us you can probably not see it. there's an american flag in the distance. that basically indicates the impact point of united flight 93. this is a massive area. it used to be an old strip mining area. massive open field here outside of shanksville. it really now will be a large memorial, very open and quite simple in some places to honor the members of flight 93. brooke? >> we will never forget, kate. thank you. >> we are asking our viewers, we want your thoughts beyond remembering that day eight years ago. do you think you have been desensitized by the events? are safety efforts focused in the right area? call us at 877-tell-hln or send us an e-mail at cnn.com/hln or

you are using is a debt settlement program that can hurt your credit scores. you can make one payment versus multiple payments on your credit card accounts. settlement programs don't hurt credit scores and lenders will avoid you while you're in the plan. the best bet right now is choose a reputable organization that is part of the national credit council. we want to hear from you. if you want to share lessons learned from last fall's market crash and banking crisis, e-mail them to me at gerri@cnn.com. >> gerri willis, thank you. >> my pleasure. >> we'll go back to london with a demonstration. a lot of activity outside of this london mosque where police are really clashing there with demonstrators. the group out there with an event coinciding with 9/11. there is bill black live for us in this whole thing.

where are you and what do you know? >> reporter: i'm outside the mosque in northwest london. things are getting tense here. what you see around this area are several hundred muslim a protesters. they have shown up on 9/11 because a group of anti-muslim protestors said they would gather here and protest against muslim presence in britain. what they call the islamization of britain. those anti-muslim protestors haven't shown up but several hundred pro-muslim protestors have. this crowd is growing through the day and throughout the day they've been quiet. there hasn't been a topic to get angry about. every now and then there is a flare-up increasing over the last half hour or so with a crowd going after a small group of individuals.

the police aren't sure why they are getting more fired up at this time of the day but there are reports that some people, some groups have been standing off in a distance perhaps provoking them in some way. at the moment several hundred people here. the fear was that there would be a large rival protest group arriving here at this same location. so far that hasn't happened. >> we've been watching video and seen people pushing at the police. some spots seem to be fiery. behind you it seems quiet. talking about the demographics of london, is there a sizable muslim population there? >> reporter: across london absolutely. this neighborhood, yes. the local mosque asked local muslims not to get involved in this. a lot of the muslims that came here today came across london in response to that anti-muslim protest that was supposedly being organized here this afternoon. a very sizable muslim population in london. this crowd is drawing from across the various neighborhoods

of london and forming up this group here. they have been challenging the police lines at times when they felt provoked by something. the police say they're not entirely sure what. for the moment things have calmed down here here but police have moved out in stronger numbers. they are wearing protective gear but so far things are quiet for the moment. >> phil, you mentioned earlier, obviously we all know this is september 11th and this demonstration certainly no coincidence. >> reporter: no. the anti-muslim protest that was called to take place here was very specifically designed to take place on september the 11th. that's why it's drawn such a passionate response. you can see this is the response it has drawn. several hundred people across london brought the huge police presence and passions are high and it's feared should an angry group of anti-muslim protestors join this mix, it could be quite explosive.

so far fortunately despite the odd flare-up and violence and tension here today it's been calm. >> talk about safety, really globally. ripple effects of 9/11. phil black, thank you. other news this friday, ten years ago the small southeast asian island erupted for the fight for independence. more than a quarter million people were left displaced. many children. one man, one man changed his entire life to help them. meet cnn's hero of the week. >> there was riots, buildings being burned, people just trying to save their life. the children are supposed to have proper upbringing andn what they had was far from normal. it was devastating to me and my

family and that's why we committed to help. i'm a pilot. we found an orphanage to help the children. >> we started with only four children. we found more that needed help badly so we decided to build our own building. right from the beginning we give them vaccination, clothing, food. but we don't give them anything more valuable than a proper education. >> it was tough. when my parents died, i couldn't go to school. he's an angel. i'm going to medical school. >> very, very good.

>> we are able to teach them to just be who you are, help others and do it from your heart. right now, there's a nurse saving a life in baltimore. 20 minutes later, she'll bring one into the world in seattle. later today, she'll help an accident victim in kansas. how can one nurse be in all these places? through the nurses she taught in this place. johnson & johnson knows, behind every nurse who touches a life... there's a nurse educator... who first touched them. ♪ you're a nurse ♪ you make a difference

coming up on monday, president obama will be updating us on the financial crisis. he will talk about what has been done to ease the crisis and how to keep it from happening again. a treasury second tim geithner warned there is no quick fix. >> the world is growing, too. but because as a country, we borrowed too much, built up too much leverage, really had too long a period of living beyond our means, it will be a slow recovery. it will take a while to fix this. you will likely see unemployment stay unacceptably high for a longer period of time because of

that. because of this transition we have to go through to get to a more stable foundation. >> it is not clear if president obama will be announcing any new policies during monday's financial speech. a teenage here converted to christianity said her muslim parents threatened to kill her. her story next. oir llet. we have a program right now called add it up. add it up is a way for a customer to shop online and earn extra cash back. we do have a power rewards program. where yoearn points for that cash back, to be automatically put back into your checking account. every purchase that you make, you're going to be earning points back. so, i mean, we find ways to help customers save money. that's my bank of america card. that's the one i want to use.

but those days came and went,. but today's a new day. and a few simple steps can make a real difference in your next quit... things like starting with a plan to quit smoking... getting support... and talking to your doctor about how prescription treatments can help you.

a yale graduate student writes an article on campus crime and safety. now it looks like the missing woman has become a victim herself. if prosecutors had their way, this person would have been executed by now. instead he is a free man. and test results are in for a world class athlete caught in a gender dispute and a lot of people are shocked about this. the answer that may only lead to more questions and confusion. i hope you're having a great friday so far. you're watching hln "news and views" on this friday, september 11. we want to start you off with a tense situation outside of a

the radio at the appropriate time in the training exercise, when the actual interdiction of the boat would have taken place. >> i spoke to security analyst mike brooks on the phone on the phone today. here is his take on the incident. take a listen. >> i think the coast guard, they do a fine job of homeland security and protecting the waterways of the united states. i'll sorry. you do not conduct a training exercise like this on 9/11 under any circumstances. but the main part of this, susan, and i've been on the phone all morning since this happened, talking with my law enforcement sources in washington. keep in mine i was with the metropolitan police department in washington there for 26 years. and i was in the joint terrorism task force. and my law enforcement sources in d.c. close to situations are telling me that d.c. police harbor patrol which is

responsible for enforcement and patrol of the river where this took place, was never notified by the coast guard that this was going to happen. >> our thanks to mike brooks for speaking to me earlier today. meanwhile, the coast guard said they will take a good hard look on how it handled friday's training exercise to determine if the security scare that follow could have been avoided. for the first time this year, the 9/11 anniversary is being observed as a day of service. new yorkers are honoring those who helped in rescue and recovery efforts at the attack sites. it is also, of course, a day of remembrance for the nearly 3,000 people kill in the attacks. the names of those killed in the twin towers were being read all day today. a memorial also going on in she knowsville, pennsylvania. that's where the plane crashed people are gathering to remember the heroic passengers who attempted to overpower the hijackers. and moments of silence were

observed at all of the attack sites including the pentagon where president obama laid a wreath today. he said the u.s. will never falter in its drive to hunt down al qaeda and its allies. we'll be going live to ground zero today all day. we also want to hear from you on this anniversary of 9/11. do you think that we've been desensitized by the events from eight years ago? are safety efforts focused in the right÷ areas eight years after the fact? give us a call. e-mail us. and you can also text us. text the word "views" to hlntv. a story we're following today, an anti-abortion activist was killed in a drive-by shooting while he was staging a protest near a michigan high school. police say a suspect is now in custody. a witness saw the license plate of the suspect's car and reported to it police. police say the suspect told investigators, he was involved

in a second killing today. a second man was found dead at the gravel pit that he owned. missing yale graduate student annie le wrote an article about staying safe on the campus in connecticut. the february piece concludes with this and we're quoting here." with a little street-smarts, one can avoid becoming another statistic." it is not clear what happened to the 24-year-old. a yale spokesman says there is no evidence of foul play. she was last seen tuesday at a lab on the yale medical school campus. investigators have been searching nearby trash bins. state police with bloodhounds combing that area, and officers are reviewing images from close circuit cameras. her purse, cell phone, credit cards and money were found in her office. she planned on getting player i had this weekend. this sunday. police say her fiancee, family, friend and colleague are all helping with the investigation. with the very latest on the investigation of annie le, we're

joined by thomas kaplan. he is the editor-in-chief. tell us about the search for annie. what's the latest? >> at this point it is the same story for the past several days. all we really know is that annie went into her laboratory 10:00 a.m. tuesday morning, a surveillance camera captured her walking into the door and that's the last anybody has seen of her. >> i would imagine that students on the campus are a little shaken up over this. what is the feedback you're getting from students there? >> that's definitely the sense. i think it is such a puzzling thing in broad daylight for her to be at work, and then really to vanish without a trace. there is no sign at all of what happened. the authorities have said there are no signs pointing toward foul play but it remains a mystery. >> did you read the article that we're talking about today where she wrote about safety on campus? >> yeah. >> it's scary. ? it is sadly ironic. and we did hear from some of her

co-workers that she was concerned about safety. she was sort of of diminutive stature and did not really feel safe in new haven and did write that article last winter. >> we're showing it on the screen as you speak. i would assume that if she wrote that, she was aware of her surroundings, although of course, you can't prevent everything from during. that she would be a little more aware. i've read her friends have said she's an outgoing, very nice person, very conscientious. she wouldn't just disappear, take off without telling people. >> that's exactly it. her co-workers will us she was always very careful, would always say where she was going, would be the last person just to go somewhere without saying she was going to do that. so i think that has a lot of people very worried about what could have happen here. >> we're all hoping for the very best outcome. thank you very much. with the yale daily news. thanks. here's a question. could you reach your family in the middle of a disaster? how text messaging and social networking websites could help

the rules didn't seem uniformly applied. she went on to say, it is very hard to get individuals comfortable with investing if different rules are being applied to different people. then we heard from the ceo of goldman sachs who doesn't comment all that much. he said what i remember most was coming into the office on the weekends and without having made a call to anybody, i found everyone on our team at work. everybody realized there was a crisis looming that was historical. and also, john mac, the ceo of morgan stanley, recognized the historical significance. the difficulty of facing a situation that clearly was unprecedented. and he said this. he said people say you should have never let lehman go out of business but this was ground we had never really been on before. but there is a lot we should, could, et cetera. i'm not sure there is one thing you could have done differently that weekend that would have made a difference. and just yesterday john mac announced he is stepping down as ceo of morgan standly, unhis leadership, morgan stanley was

(announcer) only rogaine foam is shown to regrow hair in 85% of guys. i'll check it out and i'm like, nice., (announcer) rogain foam. stop losing. start gaining. and when my symptoms-the coughing, wheezing, tightness in my chest came back- i knew i had to see my doctor. he told me i had choices in controller medicines. we chose symbicort. symbicort starts to improve my lung function within 15 minutes. that's important to me because i know the two medicines in symbicort are beginning to treat my symptoms and helping me take control of my asthma. and that makes symbicort a good choice for me. symbicort will not replace a re0=ue inhaler for sudden symptoms. and should not be taken more than twice a day. symbicort contains formoterol. medicines like formoterol may increase the chance of asthma-related death. so, it is not for people whose asthma is well controlled on other asthma medicines. see your doctor if your asthma does not improve or gets worse. i know symbicort won't replace a rescue inhaler. within 15 minutes symbicort starts to improve my lung function and begins to treat my symptoms.

that makes symbicort a good choice for me. you have choices. ask your doctor if symbicort is right for you.

years, we've lost that unity and we've become a country of complainers and fighters and haters. i feel like we have to ask ourselves three important questions. why? where? and how? why did we stop caring about our neighbors? and instead when we build new communities, we put up wall to separate ourselves so we don't have to see them. where did our love go? for our fellow countrymen and our fellow citizens of the world. and how did we allow ourselves as a people to have a government that represented us for so long make us hated around the world. i genuinely hope on this anniversary of the september 11 attacks that we can all take a moment to reflect and to remember how great this country can be and should be.

>> our thanks to jason for his thoughts on this solemn day and the days that follow. democrat leaders in the house say they are planning to vote to admonish republican joe wilson if he doesn't make another apology to president obama. wilson is the one who shouted "you lie" when the president was speaking about health care reform on wednesday. wilson says the outburst was not a planned one. in an interview with wvoc radio, representative wilson denied speculation that he may have intended to disrupt the president's health care speech to congress. >> when it was stated that it wouldn't apply to illegal aliens, i just, i just, i just couldn't -- i truly had to speak out. >> did you snap? >> no, no, i didn't snap. >> it wasn't premeditated. >> i didn't snap either. if i snapped i could have kept on objecting but i didn't. >> wilson's shout came just

after president obama said illegal immigrants would not get free health care under the white house plan. wilson has since apologized but house leaders say he needs to do it again from the floor of the house. so the question is, did the president lie? a review from our sister network cnn finds that he did not. it shows the president's plan could require illegal immigrants to buy health coverage. but they would have to pay for it. some republican still say illegal ill grants could end up getting federal subsidies. that is because they say there aren't enough requirements to verify someone's citizenship. what do you do to rely on keeping in touch with your family during an emergency? maybe your cell phone? a national safety group says that texting and social networking sites could be a very important tool for families following a disaster. the safe america foundation is launching a campaign to train people about using texting or websites like twitter if traditional community methods like cell phones aren't working. the more than 200,000

equipped. poor mexicans will die in the desert. but taliban or whoever who comes in through that border will be very well stock up on everything. that's where our next attack will enter from. we need to declare that a hostile border. put u.s. troops along it and have the border patrol and a back-up. our government is very ignorant because they're trying to be so friendly with mexico, they're scared to declare it a hostile border. >> so michael says we need to do more. thank you for your view. we go to linda in oregon. do you agree? do you think we need to do more for the safety of this country? are we doing enough? >> caller: hi, susan. thank you for taking my call. i don't think we've become desensitized. i think we go on as usual and remember today, but we also forget during our busy schedules and everything. but i think the ship yards, we

need to look at the ship yards. we're always looking to the air. and there is a lot of boxes in those ships in these ports. and i don't think that the government, i don't think the government relaxes with it, i don't know. i don't know what they're doing in the ship yards but i think that that is where they need to look. yes, look at the sky, too. don't the they're looking -- >> we have to look in the right areas. linda, thanks so. for your view. we're getting a lot of e-mails and texts on this. al in puerto rico says are we getting desensitized about 9/11? our coast guard obviously is, regarding today's incident. ed

training exercise to determine if the security scare that followed could have been avoided or not. for the first time this year interesting 9/11 anniversary is being observed as a day of service. new yorkers are honoring those who help in rescue and recovery efforts at the attack sites. it is also a day of remembrance for the nearly 3,000 people kill in the attacks. the name of those killed in the twin towers are being read all day today. all morning long, in fact. a memorial is also going on in shanksville, pennsylvania. that's where flight 93 crashed. people are gathered to remember the heroic people who rush the cockpit in an attempt to overcome the hijackers. and moments of silence were observed at all of the attack sites including the pentagon where president obama laid a wreath this morning. he said they will never stop hunting them down. we want to hear from you on this. doubt we've been desensitized by the events from eight years ago

every morning, border town from texas to new mexico swell in size as students cross into the u.s. to attend school. some are u.s. citizens, some aren't. now one school district says enough is enough and will send some kids packing. here's more on one of the stories grabbing a whole lot of clicks today. >> reporter: this is in a border town in texas and it is a little known secret that a lot of mexican license plates stand in line at the car pool line at this school. the superintendent is saying, enough is enough. you need to prove residency or

you are not welcome in this school district in san felipe del rio. the superintendent is saying, basically, you not only need to prove your address but now you need to prove that you have a utility bill or a mortgage statement. 200 to 500 students will have to leave if they can't do that. many of those students are in fact u.s. citizens, though they may live with a family member in mexico. but the issue isn't only about citizenship. it is simply about residency. like any other school district across the nation, if you don't live there, you can't go to school there. but still, it is getting a lot of attention because the superintendent is coming out and saying, look, this can't be a burden on taxpayers there. so some people are saying, it is discrimination against the students. other people just saying, not in my backyard. so susan, it is getting a lot of controversy, a lot of debate going on on cnn.com. >> a lot of people clicking on

that story. a segue which i don't have now. those are motorized stand-up scooters. a different type of segue. it is call the sling shot. >> this is so cool. if it is up to him, dean, we would have clean drinking water all around the world. that is safer for you to use now, susan. i wouldn't worry about you using the sling shot. because he is saying that all of the water in areas like india and other places where it is not safe to drink the water, even raw surnlg can be turned into clean drinking water. he said the lack of access to water in the world's swelling areas of population is probably the most pressing health concern out there. the w.h.o. says despite its abundance, 1% of the earth's water is drinkable. and he says the sling shot can save all of that. the big concern is the price.

basically, it is pricey to get all around to these places. a couple of hundred thousand dollars to produce. they want to is it for about $2,000. still, the technology is not perfect. they are still working on it. they say that the world needs a sling shot to take care of its goliath water problem. and susan, i like this quote. they say they decided to build a small machine that could give just a little to the davids out there. they look at it as a david versus goliath situation to get drinking water. >> if you can get the price down a little bit, pretty amazing. a significant invention. thanks. i-reporters are sending in their thoughts and remembrances from around the country. julie went to pepperdine university in malibu where 3,000 american flags are placed honoring the victims and families of 9/11. there is the shot there in malibu of although flags. in addition to the american flags, there are those from other countries which lost

give us any indication that he or she is stopping any time soon. we have steve on the line here. a former motorcycle cop here. i'm sure you have a lot of experience in this. tell us about your experience with car chases. >> caller: many times police officers engage in police pursuits. sometimes they're a minor in nature or they go all the way up to something as serious as drug offenses, homicides, robberies burglaries and so on and so forth. the los angeles police department, they have a zero tolerance in regard to law enforcement pursuits or motor

vehicle pursuits. they'll follow you to the end of the earth. >> tell us why in your opinion, maybe there's no rhyme or reason to this, that the driver of the car that the police is pursuing doesn't pull over, doesn't think to themselves, look, i'm going to be caught. this never has an ending where the car gets away. due to police pursuit or the media. >> caller: to them, they have a reason for running. whatever the justification is. whether they've committed a crime, whether there's contraband in the vehicle, whether they have been involved in some sort of criminal event, and the value of them trying to escape is -- to them -- is worth more than the value of them getting caught. >> we lost a signal of the tape. we're going to try to get it back. as they're trying to evade police and not pulling over for whatever reason they're racking up their charges as they go, putting a lot of peoples' lyes in danger. >> reporter: the charges are coming. the worst part is that they're endangering not only the police officers pursuing them at the

time of the pursuit but the random users of the highway being placed in danger. that car could crash any time. we have a 3,500 pound piece of equipment that could be a death machine. >> you're a former motorcycle officer, for those folks just joining us, why don't they use a motorcycle in a pursuit like this? it would seem the motorcycle would have more access? >> caller: yeah, i'm from the new york region. no, they don't. to engage in a high speed pursuit you have little protection on a motorcycle. other users of the highway aren't allowed to see the vehicle. as a matter of fact, most agencies will only used marked cars -- yeah, as the lead car. >> steve, we appreciate your input on this. stay put. brooke is up next. a car chase under way in the inland empire area. right outside of los angeles. that car speeding up to 100 miles per hour. dangerous situation there. medicare.

sorry about that, mike. thanks for calling in on this. we've covered these plenty times before in the past. tell us what you think. what do you see? >> caller: we don't know. we're trying to find out what initiated the chase. it's gone through ontario. the dodge stratus. and we don't know if this guy is wanted, but we see him going onto the shoulder of the road now and taking -- looks like he might be taken an exit off. looks like -- >> mike -- sorry to interrupt. this happens so often. i believe we just cover it more often in the state of california. they must have something down in terms of okay, another chase, this time, here's what we do. what's the protocol? >> caller: in california the initiating agency will notify the california highway patrol if they're going on the interstate.

knowing members of the chp, they have a mutual aid frequency statewide. as you go from one jurisdiction to another jurisdiction to another jurisdiction, they can be in contact with each other in rapid succession. so they know that a chase is coming their way. many times some of the radio stations will also let people in the area know that a chase is in the area and to stay away from the area. as we know, we've seen chases both on the interstates and in also urban settings where people come out to watch the chases. we've talked about this before. people think you can run from the police. very seldom you can outrun a helicopter. this is courteous of affiliate kabc. but keep in mind the california highway patrol and a lot of other jurisdictions in california have police helicopters on the scene.

where this person is going, how the traffic is ahead. these are very, very dangerous. this year we've had two police officers killed during pursuits in the united states. it's very dangerous trying to lay out spike strips. it's a danger to police officers and citizens who are on the roads where the people are being chased. >> mike, it's brooke baldwin. i'm chiming in with susan. you were a police officer with metropolitan police in d.c. have you ever been involved, a, in a high-speed police chase like this? and, b, what might be going through a police officer's mind while they're chasing the car, basically a moving target? what kind of safety checks are in place? what's going on? >> caller: i was involved in many chases.

i was involved in one in particular that went from the d.c. area almost to philadelphia. for a serious felon. but what the officers are trying to do is they're trying to keep an eyeball. you usually have a primary officer who initiated the chase. not sure of the jurisdiction. can't tell. but they, as i said, with a mutual aide system they have, they will let the officers along the way know that the chase is coming their way, exactly what roads they're on. if they're getting off on secondary roads, and it's all -- a lot of it is coordinated from the person with the eyeball, the officer right behind the vehicle, coordinated with the aviation units above. the california highway patrol, if they get involved in a chase, different departments have different chase policies. fwu california highway patrol, they have basically told me if

they are -- if they get behind a car and chasing it that they're basically going to follow the car until the wheels fall off. we have seen chases from lapd is -- you always have to go under the assumption they could be armed or dangerous. because why are they running from the police to begin with? usually because they're wanted for something. >> we're going to bring in wally, former nypd hostage negotiators. wally, we know, of course, this is a dangerous situation here. but it turns into something else when the person pulls off in small neighborhoods. then it puts people who also try to get involved, maybe stop it themselves, in danger as well. >> caller: you're absolutely right. moist of the time on the side streets you don't know who will come out, pedestrians, if school is getting out. but what's important is to know what we're dealing with.

when we're dealing with these types of high-pursuit chases, we have to think of what's in front of us, what's going to happen. for example, mike is absolutely right. fortunately on the highway you have more safety in the sense you're going in one direction. on the public streets you have a problem with the oncoming traffic and civilians. in this particular chase right now, we don't have a lot of intelligence. but the license plates will give the police departments involved a lot of information and a lot of intelligence. they should be able to get something together. >> let's cut you off for a second. we're watching -- i don't know if you're watching with us. it looks like this car, this gold dodge stratus, almost like they were stopping at a red light and obeying the traffic laws. now the thing is continuing on. so we have a police officer looking about 20 to 30 feet behind the car, slowing down at a stop stop. you can see a local news van there next to the car as they're

continuing along. are you watching and what might be going on right now? >> caller: absolutely. safety is paramount. right now that's the important thing. you don't know if the person is armed. if he's armed, you have to prove that once the stop occurs. >> then what would be the next step? go ahead? >> the next step would be to get to an area where they feel safe they can put a maneuver out that will stop the car. once they stop him, they have a procedure having to arrest him. they have a procedure they will follow. >> wolly, appreciate that. we want to go back to mike. mike? when do police officers move in? we're cutting off the car or we're all moving in on the guy? >> it looks like maybe they have told him through the p.a. system. now what they're going to do is try to move the vehicle probably, looks like the highway

patrol is moving into a position. now they're in a felon car stop. what they will do, see one of the officers, i don't want to give away too much in case he has satellite radio. you see the highway patrol. he will tell him, driver, put your hands out of the car. his hands will come out. unless he decides to take off again. again, we don't know what the person in this dodge trat us is wanted for. we also have to go under the assumption because the person is running on the side secrete we're going to get caught up in traffic. more civilians could become involved in this. we see pedestrians on the side of the street. this guy is just going pass. >> there's be so many recent chases. you may remember when the guy

pulled into a parking structure to try to evade police. we lost the signal. he was caught. he was caught inside of the parking structure. this guy has no place to go. when will he realize this and stop? here we go. might have another stop. you she the officer down. got him in a position. behind the door. >> so presumably they're talking to him over the p.a. from the patrol car. >> what they'll do is attempt to get him to put it in park, to show his hands, and -- >> it's almost like he's haunting them in a way. >> caller: we see this all the time. want to play cat and mouse. and we're off again. >> on average, how long do these last? does it really vary? >> we have seen these things go

on for hours. basically how long the police are going to go ahead and chase. what the person may be wanted for depending on the jurisdiction. now pulling over the the curb at this sometime. you always have to think about other people on the side -- now you see his or her hands. could it be a woman? >> caller: we've seen women. we've seen women. we don't know if this is a man or wom. it could very well be a woman. we saw a woman about two months ago in a chase. we don't know. you always have to assume there could be one person, another person in the backseat. you just don't know. >> or weapons. >> caller: absolutely. always assuming there's a possibility this person is armed. why are they running? are they wanted for something? we've seen people rung from the police. seat belt is coming off. >> something in her hands.

>> stepping out -- we don't know what that is. >> looks like a bottle of something. right? >> seems as they notified her to put it down. she just threw it down. >> they're going to want to see -- all they want to see is your hands. let me see your hands. that's what it is. usually they'll have the person get out or crawl out because you can't -- the hands are what will kill officers or injure officers. they want to make sure that person does not reach back in the car. >> there could be someone else in the car. >> exactly. come on out. trying to coax the person out. there's a possibility she could be intoxicated. as soon as they get hands on her like they have now they're being very gentle with the woman. >> they are. this is more gentle than i've seen before. >> it looks like this woman could be -- looks elderly.

could be mental status. could be alcohol involved. we don't know. she's posing no threat to the officers. they're just going to try to get her on the ground or just go ahead and get her cuffed and under control. that's all they're looking for. as the other officers have come around to the passenger's side and cleared the vehicle. >> amazing. this started about 20, 25 minutes ago. we saw it go from the highway to what looked like secondary streets. pedestrians on the sidewalk sort soft watching. seems like it's coming to a culmination. the officers pulling this woman, presumably woman, out of the car. coaxing her into the police car. mike brooks, wally zeinz, susan hendricks. thank you all for weighing in there. what a frightening situation for a lot of people in l.a. thank goodness -- >> ending in the best way possible. putting a lot of drivers' lives in danger. a car chase in the inland empire

outside of los angeles. a female driver there now in custody. >> thank you. let's move onto a tense situation out of a london mosque. coinciding today is the eighth anniversary of september 11th. one of the correspondents on the ground said hundreds of promuslim demonstrators gathered after anti-muslim groups threatened a protest. riot police moved in. the groups is still there. the situation seems to be fairly under control. so far no word of injuries. and it is hard to believe that water could cause all of this damage. one of our i-reporters was on the scene after fierce storms hit the desert southwest. >> the whole guy's backyard is gone. your body needs sleep to feel healthy... to feel better.

tylenol pm quiets the pain that keeps you awake. and helps you sleep, in a non-habit forming way.

thanks. i got the idea from general mills big g cereals. they put a white check on the top of every box to let people know that their cereals have healthy whole grain, and they're the right choice... (announcer) general mills makes getting whole grain an easy choice. just look for the white check.

we really get amazing video from i-reporters. this is sedona, arizona. shane coronado sent us these pictures from damage from hailstorms and flash flooding. yards washed out. structural damage to some homes. you heard him. whole backyard is gone. the 9/11 anniversary is being observed as a day of service. new yorkers are honoring those who helped in the recovery effort on that day eight years ago. it's also a day to remember the nearly 3,000 live lost in the 9/11 attacks. the names of those killed in the twin towers were head this morning. they're in the rain. also this morning in pennsylvania, a memorial took place where united airlines flight 93 crashed. people gathered to remember the heroism of the passengers who

rushed the cockpit in an attempt to overpower the hijackers. and moments of silence reserved at the pentagon with the president laying the wreath. he said the u.s. will never falter in the effort to hunt down al qaeda. did you watch this? security scare near the pentagon while that was going on on the anniversary this morning. it turns out it was a coast guard training exercise on t the potomic river. the coast guard says these exercises do happen all the time. the shots were simulated instructions during the exercise. >> somebody said bang, bang on the radio at the appropriate time in the training exercise. >> the coast guard also said they will take a good hard look

as to how it handled this morning's routine training exercise to determine basically if the security scare that followed could have been avoided. and just talking about 9/11. here's our question. do you think we've been desensitized from the events eight years ago? call, send an e-mail or you can text us. text the word views plus your comment. standard text rates do apply. the president talked health care reform. he talked education. coming up monday he'll be talking about the financial crisis. the president will speak about what's been done to ease the crisis and how to keep it from happening again. but treasury secretary timothy geithner warns there is no quick fix. >> for the first time most economists think we're actually growing. the world is growing, too. but because as a country we

borrowed too much, built up too much leverage, really had too long a period of living beyond our means that it's going to be a slow recovery. it's going to take a while to fix this. you're going to likely see ton employment stay unacceptably high for a longer period of time because of this transition we have to go through. >> it's still not clear if president obama will be outlining any new policies during monday's speech. the white house says its stimulus plan created a million plus jobs thus far and boosted the nation's gdp. that's according to the president's council of economic advisers. not everybody is buying it. critics pointing to the job market that hemorrhaged millions of jobs since the beginning of the year. a democratic leader is demanding republican congressman joe wilson apologize again.

for his "you lie" outburst. they say if he doesn't they will vote to admonish him. he shouted during president obama's congressional address on health care reform wednesday night. wilson, meanwhile, says the outburst was not planned. in an interview representative wilson denies speculation he might have intended to disrupt the president's health care speech to congress. so did the president lie? he did not. it shows the president's plan could require illegal immigrants to buy health coverage, but they would have to pay for it. some republicans are saying illegal immigrants could get financial subsidies. congressman wilson, his democratic challenger in next year's midterm election has seen a flurry of donations since this

i-reporters from all around tennessee country have been sending us their thoughts and memories of 9/11. jason of las vegas remarks on the remembers the fateful day. >> the day of september 12th,

2001, this country's hearts was hurting. yet, we still volunteered. we were unified. we were helping our neighbors. we were making sure that everyone was okay. it was amazing hour our country in the darkest days we've seen, us as americans, raised our heads high and were truly proud to be americans. i feel that over the last few years we've lost that unity. and we've become a country of complainers and fighters and haters. i feel like we have to ask ourselves three important questions. why? where? and how? why did we stop caring about our neighbors? and instead when we build new communities we put up walls to separate ourselves so we don't have to see them. where did our love go? for our fellow countryman and

our fellow citizens of the world? and how did we allow ourselves as a people to have a government that represented us for so long make us hated around the world? i genuinely hope that on this anniversary of the september 11th attacks that we can all take a moment to reflect and to remember how great in country can be and should be. >> jason, thank you for your thoughts on this eighth anniversary of 9/11. we love seeing your video, cool pictures, no matter the story. wherever you are in the world, go to ireport.com and send in your video. next week marking the the one-year anniversary of the collapse of lehman brothers. we got special access to some of the people in the highest offices in wall street at the time of the collapse.

and also john mack, the ceo of morgan stanley recognized the historical significance here. also, the difficulty of facing a situation, susan, that clearly was unprecedented. he said this. he said, you know, people say you should never have let lehman go out of business, but this was ground we had never really been on before, but, you know, there's a lot we could, should, et cetera. i'm not sure there's one thing could you have done differently that weekend that would have made a difference. john mack announced he's stepping down from morgan stanley. they were able to avoid the fate of their rivals bear stearns and lehman brothers. >> another unique perspective, the financial crisis is legendary investor warren buffett. you spoke to him a year ago and you're speaking with him next week. >> yeah, with he spoke to him a year ago right after the collapse of lehman brothers. we want to ask him this time your questions, the viewer questions. please go to cnnmoney.com/buffett or you can

go here, fortune.com/buffett. post your questions. we're going to go through all of them right before the interview, pick the best ones and pose them to warren buffett. please go online and make sure you put your question there. >> poppy, thanks. we'll be right back. stay here. b k... whether i'm at the batting cages... down by the lake or... fishing at the shore. i'm breathing better... with spiriva. announcer: spiriva is the only once-daily inhaled maintenance treatment for both forms of copd, which includes chronic bronchitis and emphysema. i take it every day. it keeps my airways open... to help me breathe better all day long. and it's not a steroid. announcer: spiriva does not replace fast-acting inhalers for sudden symptoms. stop taking spiriva and call your doctor if your breathing suddenly worsens, your throat or tongue swells, you get hives, or have vision changes or eye pain. tell your doctor if you have glaucoma, problems passing urine or an enlarged prostate, as these may worsen with spiriva. also discuss the medicines you take, even eye drops.

well, you saw this live on hln not too long ago. just a little while ago. police near lightningos angelesd a driver who led them on a high speed chase. the california highway patrol tried to stop this car, we don't know why. it was westbound on i i-10 near pomona. the car seemed to stop a couple times and then took off. it finally came to a stop in downtown l.a. and the driver seems to be an older woman, not really sure what's going on there, but the driver did get out of the vehicle and police escorted her away.

veriy unusual situation. very unlikely driver, but it came to a peaceful end. security scare near the pentagon on the anniversary of the september 11th attacks. it turned out to be a coast guard training exercise in the potomac river. caused a lot of alarm, a lot of confusi confusion, especially after media reports that shots were fired in the river. the coast guard says these types of exercises actually happen all the time. the shots that were heard and radio transmissions were simulated instructions during the exercise. >> somebody said bang, bang on the radio at the appropriate time in the training exercise when the actual interdiction of the boat would have taken place. >> the coast guard says it will take a long, hard look at how it handled friday's routine training exercise to determine if the security scare that followed to see if maybe all of that could have been avoided. protests outside of a london mosque coinciding with the

eighth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks created an incredibly, incredible tense situation for police. hundreds of pro-muslim demonstrators gathered to confront anti-muslim demonstrators who threatened to protest. here is phil black from our sister network cnn international. he's in london. >> what you can see around this area is several hundred muslim and anti-fascist protesters that have showed up at this location. they have shown up here today on 9/11 because a group of anti-muslim protesters said they were going to gather here and protest against muslim presence in britain. what they call the islamization of britain. those protesters haven't shown up, but several hundred other pro-muslim and anti-fascist protesters have. this crowd has been growing through the day. throughout the day they have been pretty quiet.

every so often there is a little flare up. they've been increasing over the last half hour or so with the crowd searching after an individual or a small group of individuals. the police aren't quite sure just why they're getting a little bit more fired up at this time of the day, but there are reports that some people, some groups have been standing off at a distance perhaps provoking them in some way. at the moment several hundred people here. the fear was that there would be this large rival protest group arriving here at the same location, but so far that hasn't happened. >> thanks again to phil black from cnn international. again, he is in london. things were much more solemn here in the u.s. as the country paused to remember the victims of 9/11. most of them died in the attacks on the twin towers at the world trade center in new york. this year people gathered there. also, honored those who helped in rescue and recovery efforts at the attack sites. president obama declared this year's 9/11 anniversary a day of service. the names of the victims were solemnly read at each of the attack sites, including

shanksville, pennsylvania. that's where united flight 93 went down after passengers rushed the cockpit in an attempt to overpower those hijackers. construction on a permanent memorial to those victims will begin this fall. after years of negotiations with private landowners on rights to some of that land. moments of silence were observed at all of the attack sites, including the pentagon, where president obama laid a wreath. he said the u.s. will never falter in its drive to hunt down al qaeda and its allies. an anti-abortion activist was killed in a drive-by shooting while he was staging a protest near a high school in michigan. police say a suspect is in custody. a witness saw the license plate of the suspect's car and reported that to police. police say the suspect told investigators he was involved in a second killing today. a second man was found dead at the gravel pit he owned. listen to this, dna evidence has freed another inmate serving

and i realized what was happening, and i mean i missed school for the rest of the week. i was sick. i take a lot of -- >> deeply affected you. >> huh? >> i said it deeply affected you. >> caller: well, yeah, especially as a young person. you want to feel safe. i'm not desensitized and i don't think i ever will be. i have a friend mandy whose husband is in the army. i have two cousins who are in the marines. my husband is an airman. i do think our nation is safe. i think there are some gaps that maybe need to be looked at like the borders and, you know, the shipping halls, but i think as a nation that we're a lot safer and that we do look out for things, and i think there can be a little bit of work done, but i'll never be desensitized to 9/11. i wake up every morning on 9/11 and think about it, and not just

9/11. there's other days, you know, when i find out someone is going to iraq or someone is coming back from iraq or someone has died in iraq, i remember why. >> heather, thank you very much for your phone call. i appreciate your passion very much and i appreciate how much you've been moved by this and you still are. steve is calling us from michigan. steve, what do you think? do you feel safe after what the country has been through? >> caller: yeah, i really do feel safe. i mean, i was in desert storm back in the day, and, you know, itch come to think that we united a lot stronger back after it happened. i understand that, but i think a lot of security measures have been beefed up since then. i don't see us ever being desensitized. i feel that a lot of people have probably forgotten. it's not so forgotten in new york or the pentagon or over in pennsylvania where the acts really happened. but, you know, i just think this nation is a lot stronger because

of it, and i do kind of wish that a lot of people would stop griping about sending people over to stop people who affected this in the first place. >> got lots of responses on my facebook page. people don't seem to be desensitized by it at all. we got such a huge response. i sincerely hope we are not desensiti desensitize. i think we need to remember the threat is still very, very real. brian says this, he says he thinks people are desensitized. we need to be more focused on our safety before sending more troops overseas. still a lot of security problems. take a look at the ports, the malls, skoolchools, churches or public place. it will take several acts of terror to fix this problem. >> i have not looked at the world in the same way since says tina. thanks to everyone who e-mailed and called on a day like this and kind of had a communal feeling.

fedex is seen as a bellwether of the overall economy because a rise in shipping signals an increase in business activity. and a reading on consumer confidence from the university of michigan rose this month beating expectations, but analysts say it reflects the recent runup in stock prices. although people may be feeling better, it won't necessarily translate into a boost in spending. the price of gold settled at a record high of $1,006.40. gold prices have been rising for months as a safe haven investment during these tough economic times, and as the value of the dollar sinks against other currencies, that's also been affecting it as well. for all those people out there who are waiting to go out and get the engagement rings and wedding bands, you might want to wait a little longer. a little expensive right now. >> my goodness. how about that. all right, stephanie, thanks v a good weekend. >> you, too. heard about this story yet? two employees have been fired from the baltimore branch of the community group a.c.o.r.n.

they were caught on tape offering advice to setting up a prostitution ring. the video was recorded and posted online by a conservative activist. in this video the workers advise the woman posing as a prostitute to list her occupation as performance artist on tax forms. the filmmakers tried other undercover stings at offices in philadelphia, l.a., and new york. they didn't get the same results. a.c.o.r.n.'s national spokesperson says he believes the baltimore video is doctor and the group is considering legal action. investigators in florida say officials notified them of irregularities in some voter registration cards they were receiving. that led to 11 arrest warrants being issued in that state. >> it's important that the public understands it had nothing to do with voting. these people did not vote. didn't go to the polls to vote. they weren't sent any absentee ballots. these were simply lists of

people who they say basically this hourly workers were saying they were recruiting to register to vote. >> a.c.o.r.n. was founded in 1970. it describes itself as the nation's largest grassroots organization of low and moderate income people. the fbi is involved in the search for aimly le. 75% of kids don't get the recommended amounts of calcium and vitamin d. that's where their favorite cereals can help. general mills big g is the only leading line of kid cereals that has calcium and vitamin d. help them get more of what they need with general mills kid cereals.

at about 1:00 there was an alarm that went off on tuesday and the building was evacuated. what we don't know is is there video of her also leaving that facility? don't have the answer to that question yet. also, why did she leave her cell phone, her purse, her credit cards, her cash in her office which is in another building about three blocks away? and is it possible that this is a case of somebody with cold feet sort of a runaway bride situation? a lot of people doubt that. we're also tonight on "issues" going to talk about the big picture of crime on america's campuses, particularly crime targeted at young females. is there a false sense of security on campuses vis-a-vis women, and is there a crime crisis on campus in america? >> that's a very, very important

topic, jane. very important. >> it really is. >> also another very important topic, i understand you're going to be having a really important special guest from the popular show "intervention." it's the beginning of an important weekend for you. >> it sure is. so many of the stories, the tragedies that we cover on "issues" and you cover as well, whether it's michael jackson death or even the phillip garrido rape case, they center around drug and/or alcohol abuse. i'm happy to be part of the solution as a person with 14 1/2 years of sow brighbrietysobriet. i'm honored to be mistress of ceremonies for the largest gathering of people in recovery ever. 10,000 of us will gather in lower manhattan, march over the brooklyn bridge, and smokey robinson will entertain us on the other side. i will sign copies of my new auto bbiography called "i want."

we will have one of the interventionists from the hit show "intervention" to discuss how he also works to be part of the solution. we will have several interventionists from the hit show "intervention" at the rally as well tomorrow. it's just a positive gathering of people in sobriety to celebrate the fact that they're no longer hooked on booze or pills. >> that's exactly what it is. incredibly positive and, boy, don't we need that? don't we need that, jane? >> yes, we have to be in the solution, not just the problem. >> good stuff. and congratulations to you for getting to be the center of that. i love it, jane. i love it. >> i'm excited. >> have a good weekend. >> you, too. >> catch "issues" every night at 7:00 p.m. eastern right here on hln. security scare on the potomac on the anniversary of september 11th. now, the coast guard is responding to what it says was just a training exercise. don't go anywhere. @ @úh@; 8twxepg0ep%p'pk@,l3uñ

well, you saw this chase live a little while ago. very unlikely driver. even though chases aren't that unusual, but this driver was. police near los angeles arrested this driver who led them on a high-speed chase. it started when the california highway patrol tried to stop this vehicle. we still don't know why. the car was going westbound i-10 near pomona. thought the car was going to stop a couple times. then just took off again. this is a dodge stratus. finally came to a stop. this is in downtown los angeles. the driver got out of the car. appears to be an older woman. again, very, very unusual. well, this sunday annie le

was supposed to become a married woman. wedding preparations being overshadowed by a desperate search to find her. she is a yale graduate student. she mysteriously vanished on tuesday. mary snow is in new haven, connecticut, with the latest on this strange, very disturbing case. her family and friends frantically trying to figure out what in the world happened to her, mary, what's the latest with this? >> reporter: richelle, authorities are calling this an intense search, and we are across the street from the building where 24-year-old annie le was last seen on tuesday. police have released that surveillance video, a snapshot of her when she was last seen. it was around 10:00 on tuesday morning. and she was to be married this sunday. there had been facebook entries that she had put on just days ago. she's been described as very conscientious worker. she was pursuing a ph.d. and

m.d. at yale university, and i talked to a mentor of hers who said, you know, she had talked about being so much in love with her fiance. now, yale today is saying through their public affairs office that there is no evidence of foul play, but that they had no new information to add. they have put up posters around the campus. police have been investigating, the fbi was brought in. state police also have k-9 units brought here yesterday to help in this investigation. one thing that yale has said is that the fiance, family members, friends all cooperating with investigators. the big question, you know, is it something that she had just disappeared on her own or is it something more than that? and people here in this community are saying the longer this goes on, the more frightened they become. they are still holding out hope that perhaps she had gotten cold

feet. that would be the best case scenario, they say. but there's a lot of concern about annie le who is originally from california. we have tried reaching her parents. we've been unable to do so at this point. she was expected to get married this sunday on long island in new york. >> mary, that video of the people searching the trash bin, that's just so heartbreaking. still got to hope for the best. mary snow, thank you. >> reporter: sure. well, a tense situation outside a mosque in london coinciding with the september 11th anniversary. it's just -- look at this. hundreds of pro-muslim demonstrators gathered there after anti-muslim demonstrators threatened to hold a protest. cnn correspondent on the scene says the anti-muslim groups didn't turn out in huge numbers. riot police moved in to break up the crowd at certain points, but the groups are still there and the situation seems to be under control so far in spite of what you're seeing there. no word of any injuries.

things much, much more sol le lem here in the u.s. most of the victims died in the attacks on the twin towers at the world trade center in new york. this year people gathered there to also honor those who helped in the rescue, the recovery efforts at the attack sites. president obama declared this year's 9/11 anniversary a day of service. the names of the victims were read at each of the attack sites, including shanksville, pennsylvania. that's where united flight 93 went down. its passengers rushed the cockpit in an attempt to overpower those hijackers. construction on a permanent memorial to those heroic people will begin this fall. moments of silence were also observed at all of the attack sites, including the pentagon, where president obama laid a wreath. he said the u.s. will never falter in it's drive to hunt down al qaeda and its allies. we've been asking you all day, do you think that americans

are becoming desensitized to what happened on september 11th? do you think all the safety efforts are paying off? are they focused in the right area? do you feel safer? i put these questions on my facebook page. got several comments. we picked a few. this is what sue wrote, it's almost as if nothing happened at the pentagon or in pennsylvania. i know more people died in new york and there was more destruction to property, but the people in washington and those on the plane were sacrificed, too. > doug wrote this. i'm not desensitized. i'm mad as hell. every time i dessee a reminder the evil done on us on 9/11, i get angry. my heart breaks for the people murdered and the sold whose died for us. our safety efforts are clearly not focused in the right destruction. megan says i work at the airport. despite the complaints we are keeping our eye on things in the

has died. emergency crews pulled this 22-year-old man out a short time ago. paramedics were not able to revive him. our affiliate is reporting that police believe the man suffered some type of seizure and that's why his car ended up in the pond. emergency crews are just trying to make sure there wasn't anybody else that ended up in the water, that nobody else was in the car with him. the man whose car ended up in the water, that man did pass away. every morning border towns from texas to new mexico swell in size as students cross into the u.s. to go to school. some u.s. citizens, some are not. now, one school district says enough is enough and will be sending some kids packing. cnn.com live's catherine callaway has more on one of the stories getting a lot of attention on cnn.com today. this is a complex problem,

catherine. >> yeah. you know, you're from texas. >> i am. >> you lived in texas. unless you live along these border towns, this is one of those problems you may not be aware of, but the new superintendent in a district called san felipe del rio in texas says that if you can't prove residency in his district, you can't go to school there. and here is why. he says it has been an open secret for years that students cross that border every day. he sees van after van with mexican plates in the car pool line dropping kids off to attend school there. he says in his last job, he saw some 30 students all giving the same home address, and when the school officials checked it out, it was a vacant lot. so now he wants to see some proof of residency in his district. like a utility bill or mortgage statement, and he says there are some 200 to 300 students in his district that if they can't prove residency will have to leave. you know, as you said, many

students are actually u.s. citizens or may be u.s. citizens but they actually live with family members in mexico. so citizenship he says really isn't the issue. it's that you simply have to reside in the school district, and if you don't live there, then you can't go to school there. he says he's trying to work out though some kind of tuition system for kids who if they can pay would be able to go. he's still working on that, but he says it should not be a burden to the taxpayers for these kids to cross over the border every day to go to school. interesting problem. it's going to be probably a while before they are able to work it out. but this new superintendent is really taking action. >> i would be interested to see if other superintendents maybe start doing that as well. we'll have to see. i don't know, catherine. i don't know. okay. let's switch gears a little bit. okay. the segue, that's kind of cool, right? >> right. >> i have seen these. now, the guy who created the

segway has made something called a slingshot. >> people are going to get all excited because they think they have a new tool to get around. this guy's name is dean and what he's been working on for the last ten years is something called a slingshot. it's a portable -- well, it's a water purifier. he believes this is one of the biggest problems facing the world right now is a lack of access to clean water and some of the populations especially where clean water is not abundant. and he says that the world health organization, despite its abundance, and there's only 1% of the earth's water that is drinkable. he's trying to change that with this slingshot. don't ask me how this works really scientifically. all i know is anything that has water in it, even sewage, can be turned into a vapor and then rehydrated an turned into water that you can drink. so it is a great idea, but the problem is it's so expensive.

it's several hundred thousand dollars to make one of these things. he wants to see it be able to be sold about $2,000. so he has a ways to go but at least he's working on a problem that is, indeed, he has a solution. >> he's definitely onto something. that's for sure. >> that's right. >> good stuff. great, catherine v a good weekend. >> you, too. when disaster hits, the first thing you want to know is is the family okay? what if you can't reach them? why warnings from one safety group might convince holdouts to finally take up texting and tweeting.

feet, not one person is saying that. but we know investigators went to search her apartment, so they're looking for, okay, did she have other money maybe. she leaves the purse behind as a ruse, but we're not -- that's the kind of things we're asking ourselves. we'll update you on that story. also this one, the brazen bank robber, we know his name. it's chad schaffner. he's robbed at least 11 banks. we're learning he might have tried to hit a convenience store before his last hit in caseyville, illinois. so we'll find out what his m.o. might have been at that location and is he getting dangerous? so far he hasn't hurt anybody. will that continue? also this story, high school baseball coach pretty successful coach, hired two strippers for two of his players. not even denying it but he does not think he should be fired. sorry, coach. he says, been coaching all these years, one bad mistake. i don't care. when you're dealing with kids and you're corrupting kids and you're a high school coach, what
