remember victims in silence. president obama laid wreaths and remembered those lost at the pentagon. they held a remembrance ceremony outside the white house. the crowd was small but the message was a big one. james hash had more. >> i would like to thank you for coming and being with us and honoring the victims and families of 9/11. >> in lafayette park, just steps from the white house, where today the flag flies at half staff in remembrance, she had a simple message. >> each one of us must take steps towards peace and friendship. and it can happen. >> the waves of fear, suspicion and mistrust that swept the country after the attacks of 9/11 left many american muslims feeling isolated and suspects, despite condemning the attacks. >> the problem was we didn't get our voices heard. >> and founding the american muslim voice foundation. >> everybody just kind of thinks that one person cannot do anything. and i was blessed with the most

wonderful parents who told me otherwise. i really wish i have arms big enough that i would hold the whole world in my arms and heal it. >> she realizes that vision of healing will be a long-term. >> we grew up in a culture that instant gratification is not an option. so when we plant a tree, we know we're not going to eat main goes from that -- mangos from that tree. nonetheless, we plan it. >> organizers say they hope this gathering, although a small one, hopes to change some cultural prejudices. a store is generating some controversy. why? the owners refused to sell the american flag. and some of the residents in lancaster county are pretty darn hot about it. but the owners of the good's store say it's a matter of the faith. they're of the baptist faith which include the am itch and they say because the flag represents support for military

action for support of problems, both the prior and present generations of owners have chosen not to sell the flag. some folks say that's darn right unamerican. >> they were persecuted for whatever their religious believe so they came here for their freedom so they should be proud to be america and the flag represents america as far as i'm concerned. >> some people have decided to boycott the store. the owners say they understand and they may have to suffer for their faith. tonight the coast guard and a handful of news outlet are being blamed for a 9/11 scare. they held a training not far from the site at the 9/11 tribute at the same time. they had a suspicious both and begun fire. -- boat and gunfire. cnn mistook the drill for the real time. the fox newschannel followed suit. because of the reports, law enforcement agencies scrambled to get officers to the scene and

work? the answer tonight is maybe. a cbs news poll just out says he did change some minds. 52% now approve how he's handling health care reform. and some who watched it is even greater. this is bizarre. it's from american's home video. except two employees really were caught on tape trying to help what they thought were a hooker and her pimp qualify for a grant. we first brought you that hidden video last night. now somehow it happened all over again, but this time right here in dc. and brittany morehouse joins us more for this. >> reporter: in baltimore eight workers offered advice to a pimp and a prostitute. the workers were reported helping a politician and a prostitute. it turns out in both cases those people actually were conservative activists who have now posted their video online. >> we informed employees we

>> someone who has supported the good work of acorn and really valued what they contributed to this city for years, it's a very disappointing video watch. >> reporter: that's city council member jim graham. he agrees with acorn to fire the workers. they did not respond to our repeated attempt to reach them by both phone and in person. and new tonight, the u.s. census bureau as cut its ties with the organization. previously they had adopted acorn as a partner. >> they're in some trouble. brittany morehouse, thank you for that. we appreciate it. time to check on the conditions outside. topper, a little chilly out there. what do you think? >> well, i do have a jacket on. maybe not quite this chilly. temp. 6 0se thth.0sin w p. sds are pickiethho t.ewe showers a a finally most of the showers now north of town. we'll come back. we'll tell you if any showers will be lingering on saturday and we'll look ahead to the full weekend forecast coming up. ahead on 9 news now, it is history in the making. the local folks who will be part

town. frederick north right along the border particularly. winds northwest at ten. by afternoon partly sunny and warmer. slight chance of a shower. but a vast improvement over today. high temperatures in the upper 70s and winds out of the northwest at about ten miles an hour. satellite picture radar combined. we'll zoom in here now. this is really what's left of what was tropical storm erika. it took five days to move pretty much from the carolinas north of us. and it finally has moved north of us. so we're in pretty good shape now if you go through the weekend. that said showers have moved out of new york tomorrow. showers will move back in but saturday and sunday we'll be able to play tennis up in the new york area. as far as we're concerned, you see the clouds lingering across the northern part of the viewing area. south okay. i think slowly but surely this will all lift away from us during the day on saturday. so next seven days, 78 tomorrow. a couple of showers possible. low 80s on sunday. mid 80s on monday. we'll be kind of toying with 85

on monday. and then 83 as we get into tuesday. and maybe a couple showers wednesday and thursday night. a big rain maker. another frontal system drops down to the south. temperatures will drop back into the 70s which really isn't that bad. and then we're back up around 80 on friday. >> loving that weekend, top. >> yes. >> thank you so much. and apparently there is beautiful weather in southern california. that's why nasa has the shuttle discovery come in and home at the florida space center because it was stormy down there. discovery spent the last two week working with the international space station. our living well health headlines are all about h1n1 tonight. lots of new information coming out including a report for the center of disease control that says flu season has come very rearly this year with -- early this year with cases of all varieties. there is cases with all 50 states with the highest concentrations right now in the southeast. the good news, it looks like only one dose of the new swine flu vaccine will be needed to

get a good enough immune response in healthy adults. testing is still going on in pregnant women and children. and the target date for the new vaccines arrival is still mid october. well, australia newspapers are reporting the results from that gender test on the south african running sensation are in. now, she claims to be a woman and the reports say she has no ovaries or uterus. but she does have internal testes. the international athletic has said it's now reviewing the results but there will be no final decision regarding the gender until november. very interesting stuff. and oj simpson is missing so moe he is out with a $1 million
