Mech. I believe he was the first diagnosed case in the United States and they really dont know a lot about this. Very, very rare. No one has even heard of it. And it clears up. He was in remission, now hes suffering another setback. Heres a look at your friday forecast. Flurries in western new york. Thunderstorms in florida. Showers in south texas. Snow from west texas into new mexico. Forts in the pacific northwest. 20s in the midwest. 50s in dallas and new orleans. And a Tennis Center in texas just hosted a different kind of match. The competitors, animal control officers versus a coyote. The wylie coyote gave officers a chase through that Tennis Center as they tried over and over to lasso the elusive animal. It ended up taking off, still on the lam. So people in the area are being told to keep an eye out. A lasso. Wow. Looks like willis running around at the club. I dont think he has any problems reigning in the ladies. Keeping it real. He likes being tied up. Coming up, were celebrating 21 years of world news now. But first, speaking of young and foolish, a new app that lets kids send pics and have them disappear within moments. Youre watching world news now. Were right back. With the insomniac lounge. The truth about mascara is. It clumps. Introducing a revolutionary new mascara. Clump crusher. Crusher. 200 more volume. Zero clumps. New clump crusher from easy, breezy, beautiful covergirl. [ female announcer ] he could be the one. Soulmate. Husband. Loving father to your children. But first youve got to get him to say, hello. New crest 3d white arctic fresh toothpaste. Use it with these 3d white products, and whiten your teeth in just 2 days. What will a 3d white smile do for you . New crest 3d white toothpaste. Life opens up when you do. The king of pop. Come on. Oh, michael. If only we were on cable tonight, right . Oh, man, you have no idea. As you can tell, all of our music is courtesy of the year 1992, the year world news now began. That means we are 21 today. And the party is going all night, all morning. 21 going on 12. But first, some news right now. Speaking of young people, its a new app called snap chat and its causing some controversy. What . Snap chat. You can share a snapshot with friends without any risk of an embarrassing viral moment, because the photo is programmed to vanish seconds after it gets sent. Vanish, in thin air. But is it encouraging kids to send inappropriate photos that actually wont disappear . Of an inspector gadget episode. Teens believe theyre sending their own selfdestructive messages online. The photos allegedly disappear within seconds. Yeah, thats like the appeal. Reporter because the fun is to send embarrassing pictures. Now we can communicate with pictures. Reporter with that belief, that theres no permanent record, the snap chat community has shared more than a billion snaps. Worldwide, more than 20 million different sometimes compromising, embarrassing, and yes, even explicit photos are shared every day. You never received a picture ive gotten one, but i asked the person what are you doing . Like this is gross. Its unnecessary. Like a male . Reporter a selfdeleting picture app, like prince harry. The picture was of me and i sent it. Reporter or if Anthony Weiners boxers had only been on the screen briefly. In addition, you can also take video and send it to your friends. It works much the same way and then in tleerry, in seconds, its gone. Yet it turns out with snap chat and poke, a similar app through facebook, the videos dont vanish as advertised. People who are using this and thinking no one else will see their pictures are kidding themselves. You can take a screen shot, take a picture of your phone with another camera. Everyone has this fear that everything on line is permanent. Thats the point of this. But having the ability to take a screen shot defeats the whole purpose. Reporter we reached out for comment but did not hear back. The takeaway here, if you want something to be private, dont share it. Get the picture . Lindsey davis, abc news, new york. Scary, scary. What did you do when you turned 21 . Im sure nothing dumb, right . No, never. World news now turns 21 today and we got a party going on. A special shutout to Amanda Johnson whose birthday is also today. Happy birthday, amanda. Coming up next, you shared your memories. Were going to share ours. The party going on, after this. Did you know were on . Were on the air, apparently. Thats classic 1992 theater. Were here in the insomniac lounge. World news now, were finally legal. So we dug up pics of what we were dog whing when we were 21. I was an intern at the boston globe. I was talking out of the building that night and my mom called my editor and had a limo pick me and the other interns up to take us out to a great dinner. There we are blowing out some candles. 21 years old, june 5, 1999. Theres the limo outside the boston globe, me flashing the 21 sign. A limo. I remember we all went to a bar afterwards and did what 21yearolds do. And it was a rough night. I woke up and kind of threw up over the side of the bed and fell back asleep for another 18 hours and woke up. You can imagine the smell of the room when vomit sits still for that many hours. Thats my classy birthday story. What are you talking about, willis, you were 70 in 1992. My story, i turned 21 when i was a senior in college. This is my red lobster uniform. I was coming home to the house i lived with, with seven girls. They threw me a surprise party. I had no idea. These are some of my nearest and dearest friends. Steve garcia in the middle. I went to a Small College in ohio, cedarville university. It was a dry town in a dry campus, as well. So we didnt drink. We just had a great time. High on life. We had such a good time. One of my best friends there in all the world, right there in the middle is a missionary you in estonia. Missy, chrissy, me in the middle, amy, shannon and christy on the bottom. That was nonalcoholic. Im pretty sure. Can i ask this question go ahead. No, go ahead. This is the last photo. What is it like to not drink on the 21st . Home people go out and we didnt when we were on campus, lets just put that way. And i grew up i was that little girl that would sit on my dads lap and he would give me a sip of beer. So to me drinking wasnt a huge deal. It was always there for me if i wanted and i didnt abuse it, until i was out of college. Wasnt a big deal for me either. I dont know what people see in this devils juice. Tim, what did you do . You must have been great, because i dont remember. It was a lot of fun. When i grew up, i grew up in iowa, and we could drink at 18. So we had a little jump on things. And that was great, because you learn to respect and drink in moderation and enjoy. Do you have a favorite cocktail . I do. We develop a lot of cocktails. My favorite cocktail is the one thats in front of me at the time. With tequila. What about you, jack . Youre not 21 yet. We wanted to know what did you do at 21 and we got some great responses. Yes. I headed down to ocean city, maryland and had my first legal drink on the chesapeake bay. I like that. Tim says he went to las vegas for two days and stayed for two weeks. I wonder if he recalls any of that. I fully appreciate that. That is a good leaving las vegas party. Well played, my friend. Also, frank turned 21, and he was watching tom petty and the heartbreakers in san francisco. Nice, nice. And precious got wasted. I spent my 21st birthday in spain. It was after a semester on the london program, syracuse university. That night, as i turned 21, we saw u2 on the zoo tv tour. You remember it vividly . No doubt. Were you on a dry campus . There was nothing dry in spain. Dont make fun of me. Remember all of it. Every single amazing moment of my 21st birthday. Well be back. My name is marjorie reyes, and im a chief warrant officer. I love the fact that quicken loans provides va loans. Quicken loans understood the details and guided me through every step of the process. I know wherever the military sends me, i can depend on quicken loans. That was one of the biggest hits of all time in 92. That brings back some warm and wonderful memories. Okay. Were here with tim.

Probably an 8track. If you love muse friic from the, we can dance and sing our way through the entire show. 1992, i was actually a junior, almost senior in high school. There you go. That was my first year of high school. Yes, indeed. So bringing back all kinds of memories. There is some news to get to, as well today. And were going to look back at the headlines also from 92, as well. A lot of interesting things happened, including a very big election that changed the face of politics that year, as well. That was the year that bill clinton, slick willie took the office. The clintons still deeply involved in politics. Has it really been that long . This is also going to be the show that makes us feel really old. What does turning 21 really mean . Mr. Tim laird is in the house and the insomniac lounge is open and take it slow. One at a time. Were pacing. Were pacing. But first, a bit ol news. What medical authorities are calling the nations worst flu season in a decade. This flu season is getting under way a lot sooner than usual, which makes things that much worse. Abcs dr. Richard besser has the details. Reporter its an early brown trout yek. In arizona this time last year, there were 18 cases of flu. Today, 890. In new york, 84 last year. Today, 3,975. Massachusetts, 126 last year. Today, 3,736. We are seeing an average of over 600 cases a week of flulike illness. The volume is unusual for this time of year. Reporter from kentucky to North Carolina to texas. Horrible sore throat and ears. Just makes you feel bad for five to seven days. Its nasty. Reporter hospitals now seeing the influx. We are having an early flu season and its serious. Weve had a definite uptick in hospitalizations. Reporter there hasnt been an outbreak this early for ten years. And that year, the flu season was severe. We know that with just one sneeze, the virus can spread almost 20 feet in seconds. Youre infectious a full day before you show any symptoms. But why would this flu season be spreading so quickly, so soon . Is this a new flu, one that isnt in this years vaccine, one that were not immune to . So far the vaccine seems to be a good match. I cant remember it starting early in november. Reporter or more intrigues, could dry air be the culprit behind early outbreak . Its the most interesting new theory. In damp air, the water droplets take the flu to the ground quickly. In dry air, the virus floats in the air longer. All doctors know right now is that the flu is already here. The most important thing you can do, get the flu shot. It takes two weeks to work, but this flu season has a long way to go and it could be a rough one. Dr. Richard besser, abc news, new york. It was a fresh start in washington as the new Congress Took the oath of congress. After angering members of his own party over the fiscal cliff deal, john boehner narrowly won reelection, regaining his post without the votes of 13 republicans. Pretty close. The 113th congress is the most diverse ever, with a Record Number of female senators, as well as africanamericans, asianamericans, and latinos, as well. And love this. There was some light hearted moments. Take a look at new york senator Kirsten Gillibrands son, she decided to ruffle mommys hair as she was bei sworn in. And lawmakers on both sides of the aisle gathered to cheer on senator mark kirk, returning a year after having a serious stroke. He conquered all 45 steps. Lets hope thats a metaphor for the new congress, lets climb does steps together. The students of sandy hook elementary back in school and today their town gets a special visitor. Former congresswoman Gabby Giffords meets today with the victims of last months attack. Security was high today. Authorities say security will remain high for now and will be reevaluated each week. U. S. Intelligence officials are assessing a new taliban scenario, now that an american drone strike has taken out a top taliban commander in pakistan. His death is seep as a serious blow, because he gave money and weapons to support taliban fighters who attacked u. S. Forces in afghanistan. A pentagon official describes him as someone who has a great deal of blood on his hands. From deep inside caves in the taliban territory of afghanistan, a remarkable discovery. Israels National Library has unveiled a collection of ancient hebrew manuscripts it just bought. It points to a Thriving Jewish Community in the region about 1,000 years ago. The papers survived because the caves are so dry and so dark. Police in florida are asking for help in finding three criminals. They were caught on cameras this past monday as they held up a radioshack in pompano baemp. They fled out the back door and into a waiting getaway car. Brazen. And on a much lighter note, but also from florida, some anger over what some neighbors are calling an eye sore. This homeowner has graffitied his own house. It was his reaction after people in the neighborhood complained about the removal of some trees. Now police say the graffiti might not look good, but it isnt a crime. The home owner plans on painting over the graffiti at some point, hopefully painting over it with not more graffiti. Everybody have a cocktail out there and relax, please.

Weve got the insomniac lounge. Tim laird over there. Our joe over there getting tanked. Were in a very good mood of this first friday of 2013. This is actually a home robbery caught on tape. This couple had hoped to look in on their pets, but instead they caught three burglars instead. Reporter in raleigh, the search is on for these thieves caught on tape who broke into this home and didnt come with christmas tidings. And the homeowners who were away on christmas break are fighting mad and fighting back. We moved here about five years ago. I put in a twocamera system just in the front and back door just, you know, because i work from home. It sounds strange to some people, but its not that expensive. Reporter what the bad guys couldnt see are these night vision cameras. They had the cameras installed to keep track of their pets and they posted this video online. In the last view days its gone viral, with nearly 400,000 views. Heres one of them ringing the front doorbell as two others sneak through the back, kick through the door and search for cash, music players and other electronics. At one point, this one looks through the window to make sure the coast was still clear. When they entered the home, they did not notice the cameras. But they did manage to find this one eventually and cut it. Reporter suddenly they were camera shy and poured bleach over the computers hoping to disable the system. We can check the video. And we noticed they werent working. Her dad calls and says someone broke into your house. Reporter theyre now hoping someone will identify the crooks and send them to jail, with they say they belong. Sometimes it pays off, those cameras everywhere can do some good. We have multiple cameras in here, dont we . Yeah, in your dressing room. Hello. I always wondered about that. Up next, the party really gets started. As if its not going right now. Were celebrating our 21st birthday. Were finally legal, which is a great thing. So were taking everyone back to 1992, music and everything else, including a look back at the news and more. So youre watching world news now. We went to a park and we handed people 10 and 20pound sandbags. Heres what happened. I just truly feel wded. I can feel it in my back. I didnt realize what extra weight on the body feels like. Oh, i definitely felt it in my knees. You can easily put 2, 3, 4, or 5 pounds on in a ye. Woman 10 pounds makes a big difference. No one liked carrying the extra weight, but people do it all thtime. Wouldnt y you like to drop that weight and stop picking up more . Man i think this is a lifechanger for me. Big hit bag in the day, 1992. Who can forget crisscross. Remember that . Oh, man, the shoulder pads. Did you have that . And of course, the biggest news of all is that world news now made its tv debut with the sameceps of overnight irreverence that we still have today. We are primarily here to do news but a lot happened in 92, starting with hurricane andrew, way before katrina and sandy, there was andrew back in 1992. Killed 15 people, second costliest storm in u. S. History and it did change how hurricanes were forecast and how the nation sonlded to them. That was beyond devastating for those communities down there in florida. The winds were gauged at 160 Miles Per Hour and another huge story is the riots. The rodney king riots which happened after those four officers were acquitted in the beating of rodney king. They rioted over six days in april of 1992, looting, assault, murder occurred during the riots and estimates of Property Damage topped 1 billion. And they pulled that truck driver out and beat him with a dark. That was a dark time in the country and something that these stories of 1992. Also a big year politically as well. We all remember this guy. President clinton won election that year. The guy from hope, arkansas came into the white house and obviously changed the face of politics. I remember my parents saying for the first time they felt like a contemporary had won the presidency. Bill and hillary still very much active in politics. 20 years later, perhaps 2016 if you believe the pundits, may be hillarys term. And wound up on the cover of people as person of the year. Remember ross perot running for president . That was a good time for everybody, too. And also some numbers are telling. This will put everything in perspective. This is what we were paying for gas, 1. 05. Milk was 2. 78. The average price of a car was 17,000 compared to now is 30,000. Were paying 3. 50 for gas, and 4. 61 for bacon. The difference in price is incredible. It makes you jealous for the old days. More random 1992 prices, the cost of a new house, about 123,000. The average income per year, 30,000 a year. Monthly rent, 519. Can you believe that in new york . 519 for rent . Different era, folks. Cost of a first class stamp, 29 cents. What is it now, 43, 44 cents . 44. 46. 46 now . Wow, man.

I love memory lane. Our first two anchors there. Were on location somewhere they cut that budget a couple of years ago. Were lucky theres toilet paper these days. Actually, theres not. So here. No toilet paper either . No. We begin with the latest class of lawmakers on capitol hill, just sworn in yesterday, now ready to get down to business. The changing face of the new congress is evident with more minorities and women senators than ever before. Abcs Karen Travers join us from washington with whats in store. Hi, karen. Reporter good morning, rob and paula. Usually theres a bit of a break between the end of one congress and the start of the other one, but because lawmakers were working up to the deadline on the fiscal cliff deal, this is a very quick transition for the 113th congress. And theyre dealing with some very big challenges. Here in washington, its out with the old, in with the new. Do you solemnly swear or affirm that youll support and defend the constitution of the United States. Reporter the 113th congress was sworn in, and its a more Diverse Group of lawmakers. In the house, there are 81 women. A Record Number of female senators, 20. Taking the oath of office, the first hindu member. The first buddhist senator. And the first openly gay senator. Republicans still control the house, but with a slightly smaller majority. Democrats built on the majority in the senate by picking up two seats. John boehner has had a rough couple of weeks and faced challenges with his leadership. But in a dramatic nail biter, he was reelected speaker. In an emotional address, boehner had words for the new members. I know youre feeling a bit awe struck at this moment. History runs through this building. Reporter and advice for reelected members. Maybe its time we get a little awe struck again. Reporter the bitter partisanship from the last congress will not go away with the addition of the new faces. Its a little bit like walking into a dinner party where the couple thats hosting it is already in the middle of a fight. Reporter the automatic spending cuts that lawmakers pushed off 20 reach a fiscal cliff deal will have to be death with in just two months. Around the same time, the government will hit the debt ceiling. The looming battle over those two issues might make the last couple of weeks in washington seem like peace and harmony in comparison. Rob and paula, back to you. Thanks, karen. The day was supposed to be about the lawmakers, but one had the spotlight stolen. New york senator Kirsten Gillibrands photo op with the vp didnt go as planned. Her cute little son decided it was time to mess up mommys hair. If he had touched bidens hair, that would have been funny. I dont think it would have moved. Secretary of state Hillary Clinton actually plans to be back at work next week. She left a New York Hospital on wednesday and is now resting at her suburban home. A state Department Spokesman says shes talking to staff and looking forward to resuming her official duties. She will not be making any overseas trips, at least for the time being, as she continues to recover from that blood clot near her brain. Its day two back in school for the children of Sandy Hook Elementary School in connecticut. While the kids are in class, former congresswoman Gabby Giffords will visit with the families of the 26 victims of last months attack. Security was tight as youngsters returned for the first time in a new building. Parents were understandably jittery, but hopeful. You get so worried and you get caught up in everything that happened and the tragedy and they surprise you by bouncing back. Police say they will maintain the same high level of security at the new school for now. It will be reevaluated with each passing week. Good to see them back. Federal investigators came forward thursday to shine a light on the dark world of sexually exploited children. Special agents say over the past two months, whats called operation sunflower has identified 123 sexually exploited children, some as young as 2, that led to the arrest of 245 people. At the News Conference in l. A. , agents show pictures of two more suspects, a man and a woman, asking the public for help in identifying them. We still dont have any solid clues about who these two people are or where they might be. That is why were appealing for the publics help today. Officials say photos of the couple sexually assaulting a young girl first turned up in a 2007 child pornography investigation. And three senators are turning up the heat on the cia over the movie zero dark thirty. Senators john mccain, Dianne Feinstein and carl leaven have already complained that the movie erroneously implies that the u. S. Used torture in the hunt for osama bin laden.

Dont tell my heart, my achy breaky heart i just dont think you would understand because if you tell my heart, my achy breaky heart you can sing. You were doing it. Achy breaky heart. Billy ray. Were celebrating our 21st birthday, so all throughout the show, were playing songs big in 92, including achy breaky heart. It was a great year. As youll see throughout the next couple of hours on the show. The bar is open. Were going to hit it in just a few. But first, the story of two teenagers, an icy lake and the saving power of one rickety tree. Heres abcs cecilia vega. Reporter all they had was a dying tree. For more than four hours, thats what the two boys clung to, stranded in the middle of an icy lake. I was pretty scared. Yeah, it was pretty scary. You could feel it sinking in and cracking. Reporter the two told us what happened when they went out walking on that lake in the arizona mountains, and the ice cracked. If the tree wasnt there, we probably would have fallen in. Reporter each lost a shoe, so they covered their bare feet with their hats and waited. By the time rescuers arrived, night had fallen. It took a team of two dozen to pull the boys to safety. Whats the lesson in all of this . Dont do that again. Reporter lesson learned, the cold hard way. Cecilia vega, abc news, los angeles. Wow, lucky guys. Hang on to that tree. When we come back, were going to take a stroll over to the insomniac lounge to see whats on tap here on our 21st birthday. Our Birthday Celebration kicking into high gear, next. Youre watching world news now. Here we go, 21. There it goes. Oh, my god. Becky, rook at her butt. It is so big. She looks like one of those rap guys girlfriends that only talks to her because she looks like a total prostitute. I mean, her butt is just so big. I cant believe its so round and out there. I mean, gross. Look. Shes just so i like big butts and i cannot lie you other brothers cannot deny you get feelings. Thats willis favorite video. Hes happy, too. I love big butts my kids favorite song. They have it in a lot of kid movies, too. A highlight of 92, no doubt. As you can tell, we are in the lounge, the bar is wide open. Thats because were 21 years old and finally legal. Absolutely. Its about time. Its been waiting all this time. We have not had one sip until our 21st birthday. So were taking a look at the year 1992, which is when this show was birthed. So this is usually when we do the skinny, so we thought lets look back at pop culture. So tv shows, we had murphy brown, cheers, home improvement. And the number one comedy at the time, roseanne was number one at the time. Everyone loved the connor family. Take a listen. What do you think about her butt, dan . Very jaunty. Come on, nancy, ill drive you home. This time i wont go over the railroad tracks. The number one show 60 minutes. One of the best, if not the very best news shows. But in terms of comedy roseanne was queen. And we talk about movies, as well. In terms of the theater, none of us can forget silence of the lambs. I was afraid to sleep for two years after this movie. Anthony hopkins for best actor and jodie foster, best actress. None of the sequels lived up to the original. The original was so good. Anthony hopkins had everyone scared. I had a hard time eating meat at the dinner table after this movie. Do you remember the part where they cut it . It was bad. Has the lamb stopped screaming yet, clarisse . I love that movie so much. He was so creepy. And on a totally different note, the most popular film at the time, aladdin. I remember taking my eighth grade girlfriend to go see. I will show you the world ill shoel you the world. A few more drinks and youll show me a lot of things. Celebrity news. Do you remember the scandal in 1992 . Fergie. Were talking about the Prince Andrew divorce. They ended their relationship. And Johnny Carson ended his 30year run at the tonight show. That last moment where he said i wish you a heart felt good night. And after 30 years, that was incredible. Tv legend. Never will be another carson. And then bill cosby signing off the air. One of my favorite sitcoms. That was the pilot episode. Had a great eightyear run. Who didnt love the huxtable clan . And also, if you want to feel really old here. We already do. Guess which celebrities who are famous today who were born back in 1992, way after the cosby show. These three were all born in 1992. Incredible. How old do we feel now . Best alternative music album of the year goes to r. E. M. And the single, of course, losing my religion. I still to this day love r. E. M. Theyre definitely in the top tier. And get this, the top at the grammys that year, the top album or best record of the year went to this classic natalie cole, singing with her deceased dad, Nat King Cole unforgettable. That was one of the big hits and albums of that year. So this show is forgettable, but that song is not. Cheers. I still to this day love r. E. M. Combined han the 6 next leading pacs pop in.

Finally this half hour, on our 21st birthday, we look back at the headlines. To the fiscal cliff to the health scare of secretary of state Hillary Clinton, here is our friday rewind. I will sign a law that raises taxes on the wealthiest 2 of americans while prevents a middle class tax hike that could have sent the economy back into recession. Whats the alternative . The alternative is a tax to hit the american people, market uncertainty. The rug was pulled out from under us, absolutely inexcusable. 66 days and counting. Shame on you. Shame on congress. I just want to say how much secretary clinton is in our prayers this morning and hope she recovers rapidly. The clot could have gotten larger and it could have been fatal. She deserves a year off to reassess, get healthy and think seriously about a possibility of a run. I just thought about the capitol has a lot of steps. That would be a good, symbolic goal for me. She called us and said that we should cheer the president up, and if the oak ridge boys could get together and sing him a song or two. Right now, it has to be the Safest School in america. Children are coming in, so excited to see their teachers and the students coming in completes the circle. I yelled inside to my 15yearold daughter in the kitchen, mommys on fire.
