Heres our chief medical correspondent dr. Jon lapook. Reporter after dinah bazer was treated for Ovarian Cancer in 2010, the next two years were filled with dread. All i thought about was the cancer, that it would come back and i would die of it. How severe was the anxiety . Were you able to go on with your life . I felt like it was destroying my life. Reporter in 2012 bazer entered a study to treat anxiety and depression in Cancer Patients using the hallucinogenic drug psilocybin, the active ingredient in certain mushrooms. Dr. Stephen ross directs addiction studies at Nyu Langone Medical Center and led the study. The idea was that drugs which were known to induce spiritual or these unusual mystical states of consciousness might help people who were having this domain of distress. Reporter bazer took the medication in this treatment room with therapists present for support. During the session she saw her fear inside her body. And as soon as i visualized the fear i became furious. In my mind i screamed, who the hell do you think you are . I wont be eaten alive. From that moment the fear was gone. You took control. I took control. And it was gone. Reporter the nyu study, and a second one at johns hopkins, followed a total of 80 patients for six months after a single dose of psilocybin.

I think my brain was rewired a little bit, and that love that i felt has done very well, very good things for me. Reporter there were no serious side effects. Though encouraging, these results are definitely preliminary, and for now the drug remains banned except for research. And scott, dr. Ross told me that the fda is expected to consider within the next two months whether or not to approve a larger study. What an amazing result for dinah. Jon, thanks very much.

The caribbean princess dumped thousands of gallons of contaminated waste using a socalled magic pipe hidden in its hull. A whistleblower alerted the authorities. Buzz aldrin, the second man to leave bootprints on the moon, needed a lift from the bottom of the earth today. Aldrin, now 86, developed fluid in his lungs while sightseeing at the south pole.

There was a north pole feel in washington today as the obamas presided over the lighting of the National Christmas tree, a tradition started by the coolidges in 1923. The tree is a colorado blue spruce, planted on the ellipse across from the white house in 2012. And there is another light show going on tonight. Slowly we turn to Niagara Falls, when we come back. Finally tonight, theyve changed the light bulbs at Niagara Falls. Michelle miller gives us a look at a new work in watercolor. Reporter by day the view is majestic. Water cascading nearly 200 feet between the u. S. And canada. But at night its illuminating. A dazzling rainbow of colors from the canadian side light up the American Falls from nearly half a mile away. Tonight, thanks to a 4 million renovation, they will be even brighter. This is a new era in Niagara Falls history tonight. Reporter mark thomas is chairman of the Niagara Falls illumination board. Were eliminating all the dark spots so you can actually see the whole rim of the falls, the whole curtain of the falls, and were going to add a whole host of colors you that couldnt get before with our old technology. Reporter i mean, arent lights just lights . Yeah, except when you put lights on these falls they dazzle. Reporter the illumination of the falls started in 1860 to celebrate the prince of wales visit to canada. By 1925 the light show became a nightly spectacle. The lights themselves were even an attraction. Today some 20 Million People are drawn to them. Yes, theyre going to be bright. Reporter ed gesh helped with the new 1,400 l. E. D. Lighting makeover, boosting the colors up to 14 times brighter. Are they also more Energy Efficient . Absolutely. Up to 85 Energy Savings as we do the colors. Reporter when the lights came on, visitors on the canadian side got the full view. How big of a difference is it . Oh, i love the blue. The blue is beautiful, the color. Reporter its hard to beat natural beauty, scott, but nothing wrong with adding a little color. Michelle miller with a bright idea. Thanks. And thats the overnight news for this friday. For some of you the news continues. For others check back with us a little bit later for the morning news and be sure not to miss cbs this morning. From the Broadcast Center in new york city, im scott pelley. Announcer this is the cbs overnight news. And welcome to the overnight news. Im don dahler. President elect donald trump kicked off his victory tour in indiana. He was given a heros welcome at a carrier airconditioner factory where he made good on a Campaign Promise to save hundreds of union jobs. Mr. Trump personally negotiated a deal to keep the company from relocating the positions to mexico. But hundreds more jobs are leaving the country and the deal itself will cost the government upwards of 7 million. Major garrett is there. They say its not president ial to call up these massive leaders of business. I think its very president ial. Reporter president elect donald trump called the ceo of carry yers parent company, united technologies, directly to discuss keeping the jobs in indiana. Companies are not going to leave the United States anymore. Without consequences. Not going to happen. Reporter during the Campaign Trump threatened to slap import tariffs on companies that sent jobs overseas. But in this case the state of indiana provided the company 7 million in tax inkrenives, something states often do to keep or attract businesses. And mr. Trump promised lower corporate taxes and fewer regulations. The publicity bang is larger than the National Economic impact of saving 1,000 jobs in a labor force of 159 million. But for carrier workers like bryan dyson the reaction was emotional and appreciative. Crying. Relieved. Christmas coming, you know, everybodys heads up. Reporter dawn kinnard said it was a promise kept. Im very thankful that he did follow through because he didnt have to. He could have just said that and walked away. But he really did follow through. Reporter all this is a stark contrast to the reaction when carrier announced in february that jobs were moving to mexico. [ yelling ] not far from the carrier plant, manufacturer rexnord plans to move 300 jobs to mexico. Brian reed is an assembler. Devastated. It just i cant put it in words. I mean, the 300 people i work with, things just went through my mind and it just it was just devastating. Reporter reed said he doesnt feel left behind. With what mr. Trump did it does give a sense of hope for the american working class. I dont know that personally it will affect my factory. In the waning days of the Obama Administration the white house is working to find countries willing to accept dozens of detainees who have been cleared for release from the prison camp at guantanamo bay. Margaret brennan reports from cuba. Reporter well, the pace of prisoner releases has picked up in recent months, but Donald Trumps Campaign Pledge to stop this prison from closing has left the fate of many prisoners in limbo. On a quiet day in the guantanamo prison yard giant buzzers picked at a detainees leftovers. One prisoner spotted our cameras and gave an impromptu art show. We werent permitted to film his face as he described each painting in a mix of english and arabic. His name is khaled qasim. Hes accused of training with al qaeda, but hes never been charged with a crime, 14 years after arriving here. Nearly half of the 60 remaining detainees will never be charged, in part due to a lack of conclusive evidence. But rear admiral peter clark said there are grounds for their detention. I know that the detainees we have here today are not folks who were accidentally rounded up. Reporter parash sachlt is the oldest detainee at 69. He claims his encounters with both Osama Bin Laden and Khalid Sheikh muhammad from innocent. The u. S. Intelligence community disagrees but his son mustafa said its not fair to continue holding him. Charge him, take him to court, release him, transfer him to the u. S. , but something needs to be done. Reporter parashas lawyer david remus is afraid the prison doors will slam shut when donald trump takes office. His client told him the prisoners were on edge on election night. And he said many detainees thought it was the end of the world and felt terrible. And that many detainees asked for tranquilizers, sleeping pills, because they were so distraught. Reporter some prisoners are being freed as the u. S. No longer considers them a security threat. Commander steven gabovics told us before leaving detainees stay in this college dormlike apartment to begin adjusting to life on the outside. Here theyll have a refrigerator, they have showers, they have the tv, free action. Theyll have a dvd player. Theyll have if they want to a playstation game. Reporter this route out of the prison is called the pathway to freedom. Officials here insist that they are not rushing out any prisoners, but there is congressional concern that they are being sent to countries that wont adequately monitor them or stop them from posing a future threat. Southern california is one of the only places on earth where Mountain Lions live mostly peacefully among people. Theyre photographed, tagged, and tracked, and most people like having them around. So there was outrage when a local rancher was given a permit to shoot one of the big cats after it killed some of her livestock. Carter evans has the story from the Santa Monica Mountains near malibu. Reporter wildlife officials held a meeting right here to talk to locals about building complete enclosures like this to keep their livestock safe at night. They expected about a dozen people or so to show up. Instead there were hundreds. No one wants anyone to shoot p45 reporter at a packed meeting with wildlife officials last night, concerned residents voiced their outrage over plans to kill a Mountain Lion known to locals as p45. The 150pound cat is one of roughly a dozen roaming the hills near los angeles who are being tracked by the National Park service with a gps collar that logs every move. But over the past year its believed p45 has killed dozens of livestock, carrying out its bloodiest attack yet last weekend. He didnt eat any of them. He just killed them. And kind of left them where they lay and went on to the next one. Reporter Wendell Phillips immediately suspected p45 when he saw the ten dead alpacas on his neighbor victorias ranch. Monday Californias Department of fish and wildlife granted victorias request for a tenday permit to shoot p45, which theyre required to do by law when its determined a Mountain Lion has destroyed a land owners property. Still, the decision sparked immediate backlash. It makes no sense reporter attorney reed brightman, who represents victoria, attended last nights meeting. She has taken a lot of steps to try and avoid this over the last year. Shes lost 20 of her alpacas no. Reporter he revealed shes now reconsidering her next move, asking the department of fish and wildlife to capture the animal instead and have it relocated to an animal sanctuary. If she could have any solution that does not involve the animal being killed, she wants to explore it. Reporter but the Department Says that request may not be possible. In this situation he wouldnt relocate this animal based on the fact that its killed animals. So it would take it kind of off the table. Reporter of course wildlife folks dont want the animal shot. They dont even want it relocated. They just want him to be able to roam freely. Well have more on the Mountain Lions of Southern California when we return. Mmm. I cant believe its so delicious. I cant believe it has 40 fewer calories than butter. I cant believe its made with real, simple ingredients. I cant believe were on a whale. I cant believe my role isnt bigger. Oh, its real. Real ingredients. Unbelievable taste. Go ahead, enjoy. Ialmost everything. You know, ke 1 i n 10 houses could get hit by real ingredients. Unbelievable taste. An expensive septic disaster.

Theres outrage in malibu, california after a local rancher got a permit to hunt down the Mountain Lion that slaughtered some of her livestock. Mountain lions roam freely in the Santa Monica Mountains, and so far there are no reports of the big cats attacking any humans. The National Park service has been studying the animals for 13 years, tagging, tracking, and photographing them. And some of the big cats have become local celebrities. Bill whitaker has the story for 60 minutes. When you moved here, did you know there was a Mountain Lion in the vicinity . No. No. Not at all. Not at all. There are signs for rattlesnakes. Theres not signs for Mountain Lions. Some view you have here. Yeah. Reporter paula and jason archanakoss house is something of a local landmark. Not just for the killer view of los angeles but also for an encounter a workman had one day in the crawlspace under the house. He was doing some wiring when he saw something scary. He comes into my office terrified, and he says, bro, you have a Mountain Lion in your house, bro. And so i said to him, a Mountain Lion . He goes, yeah, man, a Mountain Lion. Face to face, eye to eye. I came eye to eye with it. And he was like terrified. Reporter he had been eye to eye with p22, so named by the park service. P for puma. Number 22 out of 44 theyve studied. Photographed here with a small camera on a very long stick. P22 wears a Park Service Tracking collar that sends gps signals on his location. Signals that were blocked this day because he was under the house. He was just laying there trying to snooze, completely just like we woke him from a nap. Reporter soon the house was packed with cameras and reporters. P22 was already a local celebrity because of this National Geographic picture taken by a remote camera a mile or two from the archanokosess house. Wildlife experts finally decided to shoo everybody out after the 11 00 news. Hoping p22 might head back into the hills nearby. Which he did. When did he leave . How did he leave . We dont know how. They call them ghost cats. Right. There you go. Reporter and though they live in the shadows in much of Southern California theyre never far away. A trail camera caught this one a stones throw from the rooftops of suburbia. These animals do their best to, you know, stay elusive and away from us. Even researchers who follow them almost daily, we hardly ever see them. Jeff sikic is a biologist, an expert on big cats who holds something of a record. Hes seen and captured p22 four times now. This time he corners the animal and hits him with a tranquilizer dart. Quickly it knocks p22 out, with his eyes still open. The batteries on his gps collar were running low. Replacing them gives sikic and his crew a chance for a checkup. P22 is healthy. Weighing in at 125 pounds. From experience, sikic knows that when the animal comes to its no threat. The instinct to get away from people kicks in. Sure enough, a groggy p22 wakes up and stumbles back into the shadows. Heres the past eight months of where p22 has traveled. Reporter the gps signals from their collars tell sikic and his colleague seth riley where the animals roam. P22 wanders the hills of Griffith Park, a small enclave in los angeles frequented by hikers and visitors to the parks famed observatory. We havent, knock on wood, had any major conflicts with him and people, and it shows that even a large carnivore like a Mountain Lion can live right among people for many years. Reporter they think p22 migrated east across the Santa Monica Mountains for 20 miles or so. Perhaps chased out by a bigger male. He somehow crossed the 405 freeway, one of the worlds busiest, worked his way through bel air and beverly hills, and somewhere near the Hollywood Bowl amphitheater crossed a second busy freeway, the 101, to Griffith Park. P22 had it great, no competition, no other adult males in Griffith Park, seemed to be plenty of prey for him. Reporter hes been in Griffith Park for three years now. All alone, looking for love in all the wrong places. Yeah, you know, still hang out there, which is pretty surprising. I would have bet he would have left looking for a potential mate. Reporter if the mating urge overwhelms him, he could take his chances crossing the freeways again to find a female. A very risky business. Why not move him . Usually it doesnt work moving lions. Wed just be moving this animal, this adult male, into another adult males territory, and that usually results . The death of one of them. Reporter and in the verd goh mountains a small range overlooking the san fernando valley, theres another lonely lion. I never thought one would actually come through our back yard. And he was right next to our bedroom window. And then hed continue up this way. Reporter Nancy Vandermay and eric barkolo moved here to be close to wildlife and got their wish in the form of a Mountain Lion named p41, who seems to love their back yard deck. Hes right out here where we are . Exactly where we are. Reporter he has come to visit at least ten times. Triggering security cameras taking both video and still pictures. The area is called cougar canyon. What else . Here he is just literally made a loop around our house for some reason. Yeah. Reporter like proud parents with baby pictures they show off their video scrapbook. And let me point out how his paws are on the wood and not on the gravel so he can make as little noise as possible. Wow. They want to be silent at all times. Reporter Camera Technology has revolutionized the way Mountain Lions and other wild animals are studied. Joanna turner is a sound effects editor for universal studios. On her own time shes one of several citizen scientists, as theyre called, who put remote cameras up in the wild hoping to get that perfect shot. There he is. Oh, come on, buddy. How do you know where to look . We look for tracks and we look for signs of them and we look for deer because thats their food source. Reporter to lure the lions into camera range shell sprinkle catnip, vanilla extract, even mens cologne on a branch, and just like house cats they love it. The holy grail is a shot like this one of p41. But her cameras also catch bobcats, coyotes, foxes and bears. You can see the full report on our i pinky promised my little girl a Fabulous Garden Party for her birthday. So i mowed the lawn, put up all the decorations. I thought i got everything.

Mark albert found some bigtime Casino Developers still prepared to roll the dice. Reporter casinos have never been more flush than they are right now. We went from about 800 employees to 3,000 employees in less than six months. Reporter so the demand is there. Oh, the demand is there. Reporter rob norton is president of maryland live, a sprawling casino in the baltimore, maryland suburbs that opened just four years ago. After rounds of expansion it now sells itself as one of the nations largest gaming, retail and entertainment venues. Are you going to keep growing . We are going to absolutely keep growing. Reporter and like a gambler on a winning streak, the casino is plunging ahead. Its just Broken Ground on a 200 Million Convention Center and hotel. A confident David Cordish owns maryland live. Is it a bet for you to build this hotel or is it a sure thing . Its pretty much a sure thing. Reporter cordish is doubling down because he says he only builds casinos near these three things a highincome community, a busy interstate, and a major retail magnet. Maryland live sits next to arundel mills mall, a 1. 6 millionsquarefoot shopping paradise. Youre a bullish man on a lot of things. I am bullish. Very optimistic. Reporter but even an optimist dreads a losing hand. 30 years ago only two states had casinos. Now 42 states do. Youre running out of room to expand in. By in large the United States is running out of good locations. Reporter does that mean youre running out of customers, that at some point casinos will be cannibalizing from each other . At some point. Its already happening. Reporter on election day new jersey voters will decide whether to amend the constitution to allow casinos beyond Atlantic City. The onetime las vegas of the east where the chips are most certainly down. In 2001 the new jersey resort city had 16 of the u. S. Commercial casino market. Now its just 6 . After neighboring new york, pennsylvania and maryland let casinos open there. And its hurting the bottom line. New jerseys casino tax revenues are half what they were ten years ago. Meaning less money for senior citizens, the disabled, and economic revitalization programs. While new yorks quadrupled, sending a windfall toej educati. Delawares general fund took a hit as maryland hit the jackpot. With five casinos since 2009 is a sixth, the mgm at national harb harbor, opening december 8th. Basically kind of an arms race. Reporter alex bumoginy is an analyst at fitz ratings. Even though commercial casino revenue nationwide is up 48 since 2001 to more than 40 billion nationwide, bumoginy says the Casino Industry is now extremely saturated. Fortunately, most states at this point already have gaming and have a limited amount of licenses to issue. So were getting to the point where future development is very limited. Does that worry you . It doesnt worry me for the ones were involved in. You think youre immune. I think were immune in the locations weve picked. Reporter David Cordish now has plans for a new live casino in philadelphia. His fifth casino. Convinced hes on a roll. Do you think there are too many casinos opening . Actually, no, i dont. I dont feel like theres too many casinos. Why not . Because you want choice . Yes. Most definitely. Reporter andrea hanks came from her fiance 2 1 2 hours north from richmond, virginia to give maryland live a spin. As did betsy bane. Shes a shrewd shopper at the slots and vows to check out mgms brand new mega casino when it opens in national harbor. She told us shell keep sampling. You can try another one. So you dont have a loyalty to one particular casino. You like to try them all. Yes. With their different promotions like tournaments. You want them to fight for you, your business. Exactly. Reporter there are now more than 1,000 casinos nationwide. And just like these gamblers,. The Holiday Shopping season is in full swing, and a lot of people are determined to avoid the malls at all costs. But if youre one of the millions who shop online with your smartphone, you could be putting your personal information at risk. A lot of those phone apps are fake. Anna werner has the details. I would say for most of my purchases i do use my iphone. Reporter Nicole Barker likes shopping through her apps but didnt realize they could put her identity at risk. Its really scary. You trust those brands when you see them and you just accept or trust that thats who you think youre dealing with. Reporter but a company that creates many of those apps for major retailers found some Shopping Apps for names like dillards, payless, even Christian Dior and jimmy choo, werent real. We found there were hundreds of fake apps. Hundreds. Reporter chris mason from branding brand. If you take those apps down and you get rid of that provider, youll find them show up in a different form of a new name, new credentials. For every one you take down theres two that come up. Its collecting a lot of data. Reporter gary milevsky with Cyber Security firm snoop wall says its all about criminals getting hold of your private information. Some of these apps, these counterfeit apps, are so good they give you a complete shopping cart experience. Everything through the congratulations, heres your order number, its on its way. And then you never get the goods. Reporter but he points to something even more disturbing, with super popular Emoji Keyboard apps. These keyboards replace the one on your phone giving you an Endless Supply of emoticons for every occasion. But he says many can also gain access to your contacts, text messages, possibly even passwords and send your private information overseas. These are all developed by employees of companies in china. So what do you think somebody in china is doing with all that information . Some think that the chinese version of the nsa is using these kinds of tools to collect a lot of information on people overseas. And time will tell. We dont know, do we . We dont know. Reporter google told us it scans apps for potentially malicious code as well as spammy developer accounts and they have a separate tool for Android Devices to verify apps. Apple said they provide notice on all keyboard apps about the fact these apps can have access to what you type. Except for passwords, which apple says can only be typed in using the regular keyboard. But milevsky says better to avoid Emoji Keyboards entirely, especially if theyre free. News to Nicole Barker. I do have an Emoji Keyboard. As do most of my friends. That really gets me scared, makes me realize i probably should take that off my phone. And thats the overnight news for this friday. For some of you the news continues.
