prosecutors say he conspired with najibullah zazi and another to bomb crowded subway trains. they say it was planned by overseas al qaeda leaders but was abandoned when they thought police caught on and were watching them. he warned of another terror attack if the u.s. does not stop what he called the war on islam. he faces life in prison. the third man in this case has pleaded not guilty to the terror charges. gunmen ambushed and killed seven mexican police officers in the border town of ciudad juarez. so far no arrests have been made. more than 5,000 people have been killed in juarez since a turf war between drug cartels ee resulted two years ago. arizona now has a controversial new immigration enforcement measure on its books. governor jan brewer signed it into law in phoenix yesterday. the law requires immigrants to

carry documents with them at all time. the law imposes penalties on anyone who knowingly hires or transports illegal immigrant day laborers. governor brewer says she had no choice when it came to signing that bill into law. >> we in arizona have been more than patient waiting for washington to act. decades of federal inaction and misguided policy have created a dangerous and unacceptable situation. >> critics say the law will lead to racial profiling. several groups are already promising court challenges to this law. all week protesters have been gathering outside arizona's capitol to urge governor brewer not to sign the bill. after she did sign it, at least one demonstrator worried about what would happen next. >> i started to cry. i started to think about my family and my friends about everything that's going to happen. how things are going to change. >> supporters of brewer's

decisions say critics are overreacting and that this law is needed. rock star and reality show contestant bret michaels is in the hospital in critical condition. people.com report doctors have found bleeding at the base of his brain stem. he was rushed to intensive care late thursday after a severe headache. last night on "prime news" with mike galanos, he got a second opinion about michaels' condition. >> bleeding at the base of his brain stem sounds very serious. tell us about it. >> yeah, it is serious. i believe they said it was a subarack noid bleed and that's where a blood vessel bursts. it can be very common in diabetics. it's a bleeding stroke and near the base of the brain stem you really are concerned about swelling in that area. it's the area that leads to respiration and your heart rate. it's kind of like the main center for all the functions that are automatic. so if you have a lot of swelling

in that area, it really can lead to a serious brain damage. >> 47-year-old michaels is probably best known for fronting the '80s hair band poison. in recent years he has been a mainstay on reality tv, "rock of love" and "celebrity apprentice." lindsay lohan says it was a publicity stunt but her dad says it was just what any concerned father would do. a sheriff's deputy visited lohan's l.a. apartment on what was called a welfare check initiated by her dad. michael lohan says he was concerned about his younger daughter, ali, who has been hanging out with lindsay. he joined jane velez-mitchell on "issues." here's a portion. >> what did you see? >> the place is a mess, the girls were laying on a mattress on the floor with a sheet, and then some girl that was -- looked like she was just coming off a drug binge walks out of the other room. i suppose this is the one they

call the guardian, so to speak. >> lindsay lohan responded to the so-called welfare check on her twitter page saying, quote, i need a restraining order, he's nuts. saturday mail may soon go the way of the pony express. would you miss it? >> i'm not happy about it. the reason that they're not making money is because people are not satisfied. i don't know if this is going to boost satisfaction. >> i don't have a real problem with it. i think they can really save money doing it, it would be okay. >> is the postal service's cost cutting idea a good one? your views from the street and facebook coming up.

so saturday mail could be going away. the postal service says it may have to do just that to cut costs. so we hit the streets to find out how you like that idea. >> i'm joe carter and this is hln's views from the street.

how important is it to you to get mail on saturday? the postal service is in a happy load of debt and they're putting a plan in place to reduce delivery from six days a week to five days a week. >> that's fine with me. i'll find a way to get my business done. >> it's fine. we don't really check our mail on saturdays anyway. >> the reason they're not making money is because people are not satisfied. i don't know if this is going to boost satisfaction. >> i don't like getting the mail. it's usually just bills or junk mail. it doesn't matter to me at all. >> i don't have a problem with it. if they could save money doing it, it would be okay. >> how much time do you spend using your computer to communicate versus the united states -- >> are you kidding me? all day long. >> instead of sending letters and what not. >> you can get coupons online, your e-mail and you can pay your

bills online. >> the only thing i used post office for are mailing packages. >> we want to save paper and the internet is a key way for us to do that. >> do you think the post office is still relevant? >> absolutely. absolutely. >> i wouldn't say it's totally irrelevant because you do need to get certain documents in the mail. >> the only reason i need the mail is for christmas presents and birthday cards. >> everything might be electronic. it seems like it's set up that way. >> what do you do online you used to do in the mail? >> everything. except have sex. >> i'm joe carter and i'll see you on the street. >> and look who's here from the street, our very own joe carter joining us for a few moments. so it looks like a lot of fun mixing it up out there. has it been? >> absolutely, virginia. it's been great to meet our viewers face to face and see how these topics impact their lives

each and every day. we have a segment called "100 things to taste," so it's been hard getting up for work. >> it's tough to be you, joe. i want to get back to the views on the street and ask you, you know, people not afraid to tell their opinions. were you surprised by that at all? >> each time we go out and do the segment we never know the responses we'll get from viewers. each time i'm surprised by the responses and opinionated they are about topics that affect their lives. >> in fact, we'd loov to hear from you. log on to facebook or you can send us an e-mail at cnn.com/hln. there's the question, should the post office stop delivering mail on saturday? let us know what you think. we'll share your responses later on. now, take charge, your career. if you've been out of work for a few months and you do find a job, you are probably thrilled.

good for you. but starting any new job is going to be hard, and it's even harder after a long layoff. so here's how to make a successful re-entry back into the workforce. "the wall street journal" says, one, read up about your industry. have your boss describe your job very specifically so you can get as ready as possible. then a few days before your first day, go do a test run. see how long it's going to take you to shower, to really get there, whether that's finding your way on the road or taking the subway so you're going to be on time and ready and confident on your first day. now this one may be the hardest. don't make the same mistakes twice. now, maybe your layoff really wasn't your fault but it really is worth going back in your mind and considering if there was anything that you did or you didn't do at your old job that made you vulnerable when the layoffs came around and address it so it doesn't happen again, so you're going to be invaluable. they're going to love you at your new job and never let you

go. i'm jennifer westhoven. when you pursue an mba at devry university's... keller graduate school of management, you'll have a professor with you every step of the way. whether you take classes on campus, online, or both, you get the same attention, the same curriculum, and the same quality. 85 locations nationwide and online. discover how to grow the business of you... at keller.edu. to finish what you started today. for the aches and sleeplessness in between, there's new motrin pm. no other medicine, not even advil pm, is more effective for pain and sleeplessness.

[ man ] while it's not a rescue inhaler, symbicort improves my lung function, starting within 15 minutes. it helps give me the control to... [ inhales, exhales ] symbicort is a combination of two medicines. it will not replace a rescue 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. with symbicort, my lung function starts to improve within 15 minutes, helping me... all day. symbicort is a good choice to help control my asthma.

[ male announcer ] if you can't afford your medication, earlier we asked you what you think about plans by the post office to cut service on saturday. here's what you've been saying so far. i think raising the rates and cutting out saturdays is the wrong way to go. they should be lowering prices to get people to use them more and maybe even deliver at night. here's what robert thinks. not very smart at all. not everyone e-pays, and he-bills. some people, lots of people still use the postal service for a number of important things. this is a bad idea. >> thanks, everyone, for your thoughts. we want to ask you, do you think the post office should get rid of saturday service or do you think this is a denial of service we deserve? log on to cnn.com/hln.

let us know what you're thinking. jurors have ordered the boy scouts of america to pay more than $18 million in a sex abuse case. kerry louis was abused by a former assistant scout master who admitted to molesting 17 boys 25 years ago. just last week the jury awarded lewis $1.4 million in compensatory damages. most of yesterday's $18.5 million punitive award will go to a crime victim's fund. >> i don't know if i exactly have closure yet. i have a long road ahead of me still, but it's a huge jumping point. a huge start for me. so i already know i'm a little bit better off than i was. i just don't know how much better off yet. but i've got a grin on my face, so -- yes. >> boy scout officials won't comment on the case because others are still pending. the organization has said it always stood against child abuse of any kind. some fascinating fbi

evidence in the casey anthony case has been released, including lab reports and testimony. our sister network "trutv" link a laundry bag with a bag found at the crime scene. >> here is something i hadn't heard before. i'd heard bits and pieces. the fbi is asking for a black plastic bag with red handles to be tested for latent fingerprints. but i think there could be more of a significance than just fingerprints, whether they would or would not be found. it says investigative efforts have revealed that this item, the black plastic bag, held a canvas laundry bag similar to that found with caylee's remains. i found on the property form, this was found on a shelf in the garage. let's remind everybody that when the remains were found in december, those remains were found in a canvas laundry bag, the name of whitney design, that's the manufacturer, and

then black plastic bags were over that. so they say they found on the shelf in the garage was a canvas laundry bag, confirmed a name of whitney design in the garage, with a black plastic bag around it. that early is exactly how the remains were found. now, on the other hand, the garage had more of an access to people from the outside than the home would. >> jean says another test compared hairs from anthony's car trunk and from the area where her little daughter caylee's remains turned up. the nearly 300 pages include testimony from a woman who says her sister had an affair with george anthony. he is casey's father. did you know the u.s. military is fighting a new war? not against terrorists, rogue governments or drug lords, this new enemy is obesity. more than 25% of young adults are unable to meet physical requirements for military

service. that's according to information this week from a group of retired armed services leaders. the number one medical reason they don't qualify is they're overweight or obese. the panel went so far as to say the problem could potentially become a threat to national security. of course losing weight is often a long and difficult struggle. this week joy behar spoke to a woman who lost more than 500 pounds in her battle with the bulge. >> you weighed over 700 pounds at one point in your life. >> yes, i did. >> and were you house bound because of that for 12 years. what were you thinking as you kept gaining the weight? >> man, that's a really -- it's a difficult one, because you're just like anybody else. i think that's your coping mechanism for whatever it is that's eating at you, and it comes on incrementally, obviously, so it's a slow process. i think eventually when you get to -- you wouldn't point to a number and say this is when i

just felt like it was a lost cause, but slowly you begin to believe you have no value and that you're never going to get out of the hole, so you use the tool you always used, which only compounds the injury. >> so when you were, say, 400 or 500, did you then think to yourself i'm never going to solve this? >> absolutely. >> i can't solve it? >> you become resigned. >> so you just kept eating whatever -- >> and you know what, too? the more sedin tarry you become the less you have to eat. i'm not saying i didn't over eat. >> you may get to see a lot more of two women linked to two big sex scandals. will reality tv give a home to jamie jungers and michelle mcgee?

over, this is hln news and views and i'm virginia cha. a large tornado destroyed between 20 and 30 homes today in valley park, mississippi. we're hearing some people were trapped inside some of those structures. we don't know how many, nor do we know the extent of injuries. the twister ripped through the area about 12:30 this afternoon local time. and there could be more violent weather in parts of the southeast. parts of the region under severe storm warnings, that includes the possibility of more tornadoes. the system causing a few making its way in from the west already. this is not the only dangerous weather out there. colorado also hit with a crazy mix of rain, snow and tornadoes. some campers had to be rescued from two feet of snow, and crews are cleaning up a rock slide that closed part of a highway west of denver. our ireporters are sending us pictures of the storm that is moving across the southeast. this video was sent in by cathy

cozad living south of memphis, tennessee. the hail was a bit bigger than a golf ball. the storm was noisy but didn't feel threatening. rescuers have suspended their search for 11 oil rig workers missing in the gulf of mexico. the coast guard says it is unreasonable at this point to expect that any of them survived. the search covered 52 square miles over three days. even though the search is suspended, the case is not closed. >> we have not 100% certainty accounted for all the lifeboats. we don't know what was launched from the rig and what might still be with the rig. and that's going to be something that will continue to do as part of the casualty investigation. as mentioned, we can also reresurrect the search efforts if we feel there's a possibility that they're out there somewhere in a lifeboat. but everything, all the

information we have this week leads us to believe that these 11 members were on the rig. >> more than 100 crew members did manage to make it off that platform after tuesday's massive explosion. four of them were critically injured but they are doing better now. arizona now has a controversial new immigration enforcement measure on its books. governor brewer signed it into law in phoenix yesterday. it requires immigrants to carry their registration documents at all times and allows police to question anyone they suspect of being in the country illegally. and the law also imposes penalties on anyone who knowingly hires or transports illegal immigrant day laborers. governor brewer says she had no choice when it came to signing the bill into law. >> we in arizona have been more than patient waiting for washington to act. but decades of federal inaction and misguided policy have created a dangerous and unacceptable situation. >> critics say the law will lead

was a kid, right? >> since age 6 he's been struggling with diabetes his entire life. he's 47 years old. about a week and a half ago he was rushed to the hospital in san antonio, texas, where he underwent an emergency appendectomy and after that surgery he seemed to be in really good spirits. he even posted a note to his fans in which he wrote, they told me that if i had gone on stage like i wanted to my appendic likely would have ruptured and i could have died. he said it hurt, but you know, he's got a good threshold for pain. but he seemed to be in good spirits then but he's taken a turn for the worst. >> he is best known for fronting the hair band poison. he's been on reality tv "rock of love" and "celebrity apprentice." prosecutors have wrapped up their case in the sarah palin e-mail hacking trial after calling the former governor herself to talk to the jury.

22-year-old david kernell is charged with hacking into palin's private yahoo! e-mail account and posting the information he found on the internet. palin testified yesterday, she says the event was a major problem for her vice presidential campaign and that it also had a big impact on her family. >> well, there are a couple pictures in there that were not for public consumption. pictures of trig, especially. he's a beautiful child and i want to make sure the world sees him as a beautiful child, not disported pictures that people -- they've taken advantage of the opportunity to have those pictures to distort, photo shop and that's been hurtful. it was a big deal because as you're pointing out, access and communication is so important when you're thousands of miles away from your children. and you're not there to protect them, they're receiving threatening calls and messages, and mama wants to be there to help the kids. at least be able to communicate with them. so it was a big darn deal to have that communication stripped

away. >> bristol palin said she got harassing phone calls and e-mails after her family's private information was posted only the web. he posted information that included bristol's phone number. she says she was terrified when a bunch of guys called her and claimed to be at the front door of the family's alaska home and that they wanted to get in time. at the time bristol was 17 years old and pregnant. here's what david kernell had to say about bristol as he was entering court this week. >> what did you think about bristol palin? >> not my type. >> if he's convicted, he could face up to 50 years in prison. saturday mail may soon go the way of the pony express. would you miss it? >> i'm not happy about it. the reason that they're not making money is because people are not satisfied. i don't know if this is going to boost satisfaction. >> i don't have a real problem with it. i think they can really save money doing it, it would be okay. >> is the postal service's
