Our sup day morning cover story from tracy smith. Youve always been an optimist. Yes. Joe tiralosi of brooklyn says life is good especially now. Five years ago tiralosi then 56 in good health was at work as a driver in new york city one hot august day when he felt sick. Really sick. I just suddenly didnt feel like myself. I didnt know what it was. I called home and i spoke to my wife i told her i says, i dont feel good. I think i want to just come home and thats when she said toe me, why dont you just go to the hospital. He walked in in to new york presbyterian on his own power and promptly dropped dead. Like they shut the lights out and i just collapsed and fell on the floor, my heart stopped. Nurse heard me screaming that was it. That wasnt it. Tiralosi was brought back from the dead. He says it was divine intervention, a testament to the perseverance of his medical team and the power of some bonechilling cold. Do you see any movement . Consider this scene from the 1997 blockbuster titanic the big ship has gone down and icy water has apparently tailing its toll on the 1500 victims. Is anyone alive out there . As it turns it there might have been. The reality is that we know that today if those people had been found many of them could potentially have been saved because by virtue of dying in ice cold water their brain and cells would have been preserved. People could have been saved if they had died today and if, i say this with a capital i if care had been provided. Dr. Sam parnia is at new york Stony Brook Medical School writes that death isnt a moment but a process that can be interrupted and often reversed with the help of new techniques. In the century since the titanic, for instance, weve learned a few things about cold water. Rescuers work frantic three find two and a halfyearold in 1986 michelle browned in an icy stream. The little girl was submerged more than an hour and technically dead with the the cold water chilledded her down to 66 degrees. Enough to stave off brain damage. Little michelle woke up and as Susan Spencer reported went on with her life. Michelle remembers nothing that have awful day. Her doctors will never forget it. Today cooling devices like this do much the same thing as that icy stream they chill people whose hearts have stopped and preserve their brains until doctors can figure out how to get their hearts going again. Cooling somebodys body down buys doctors time to fix whatever sells going on and bring them back to life . Absolutely. Cooling buys us time, for examplef somebody were to suddenly collapse and die at home what we could go in to the freezer take out our frozen peas, vegetables, put them on the body try to do cpr at the same time so we can slow down the rate by which theyre getting brain damage. Hold on a second. Are you saying that seriously that somebody were to collapse you could take your frozen vegetables out of the freezer, ice them do cpr it would help . Absolutely. Absolutely. Despite what weve learned the chances of being brought back from the dead are still pretty small. Last year in the u. S. Just under 24 of those who had cardiac arrest in a hospital survived the experience. Outside a hospital the survival rate was less than 10 . One of the reasons he says is that emergency workers sometimes quit cpr too soon. Its harder than your tough work out in the gym. You have to do it very rapidly. If you do this for awhile it gets very, very tiring. People get out of breath. Imagine trying to do it for an hour. Compression machines like this one can carry on for extended time. Because longer is often better. A loft doctors will stop compressions after about 20 minutes. But we know from research that if you go on for 40 minutes to an hour your chance of bringing people back to life is much, much higher. In joe tiralosis case it was all by hand. Did you have any idea how many different people gave you compressions that day . I dont know the number. Its dozens, dozens, many, many people. All taking turns. All taking turns. After about 4500 chest compressions nearly an hour in the cooling suit, joe tiralosis doctors brought him back, cold, fragile but alive. What did they give you that day . I heard there was quite a concoction of certain medications are you bigger than that what did they give you . Gave me my life back. Chance to live again. Sometimes people tell me, you know, whats the best day that you can remember. And honestly every day is the best day to remember. There is, of course, no way to measure what it all means to joes wife, janet, son joey or daughter christina. Hes here every day. So grateful, im so happy. Life is even sweeter it seems when you fought death and won. Pauley coming up a visit to the nations attic. Theres no reason we cant manufacture in the United States. Here at timbuk2, we make more than 70,000 custom bags a year, right here in San Francisco. We knew we needed to grow internationally, we also knew that it was much more complicated to deal with. I cant imagine having executed what weve executed without having citi side by side with us. Their global expertise was critical to our International Expansion into asia, into europe and into canada. So today, a customer can walk into our store in singapore, will design a custom bag and that customer will have that American Made bag within a few days in singapore. Citi has helped us expand our manufacturing facility; the company has doubled in size since 2007. If it can be done here in San Francisco, it can be done anywhere in america. Pauley now a page from our sunday morning almanac. August 10th, 1846. 168 years ago today, the day president James Knox Polk signed a measure establishing the Smithsonian Institution. It was actually created with the wealth of a british scientist, james smithson, who in his will left the whole of his property, quote, to the United States of america, to found at washington under the name of the Smithsonian Institution and establishment for the increase and diffusion of knowledge among men. Though no one really knows for sure why smithson left his fortune to a country to which he had no personal connection there is no doubt about the impact his gift has had. Beginning with the institutions first secretary, joseph henry, the smithsonian has pursued its twin missions of increasing and diffusing knowledge with energy and imagination. From its original red sandstone castle on the National Hall the smithsonian has expanded to 19 individual museums and galleries, not to mention the national zoo. They include the museum of Natural History, the air and space museum, and the American Art Museum which two years ago featured an exhibition on the art of video games. Just one example of how the smithsonians extensive and eclectic collections have deservedly everybodied it the title the nations attic. Less visible to the public but just as important in fulfilling smithsons original vision are the institutions Nine Research centers specializing in everything from art to astrophysics, to the environment. Still, its the museums that are the big draw, with the museum of Natural History rated washington, d. C. s number one tourist attraction last year. Followed by the air and space museum both well ahead of the Lincoln Memorial which came in at number three. Not a bad american legacy for englands mr. Smithson. Next, seeing stars. I have yet to see a person come out in night skies or look through a telescope not go, wow.

Pauley are city lights dimming or view of the star re, star reunite . Not everywhere at least not yet. Barry peterson takes us star gazing. In west texas theres not much to see in a vast stretch of emptiness until the sun calls it a day. And then up there, is a night sky bursting with stars, a jampacked canopy of constellations. Fly me to the moon on most weekends, ron dilulio sings about the night sky at a dallas nightclub. And he doesnt just croon about the moon, he makes his living looking up at the moon and stars. Teaching astronomy and spreading the word about every stargazers worst enemy, bright lights. Light pollution. We call it Light Pollution just like sound pollution. Dilulio brings his students from the university of north texas to this particular part of the state where the lights are so few, the stars are so many. Captured by his timelapsed photography. I have yet toe see a person come out in the night sky look up at the sky that is dark or look through telescope not go, wow its never happened. They always do that . They always do that. In a world where people seem to spend most of their time looking down, there isnt much incentive to look up. City lights block out the night sky. But on this nasa map there is also an earthbound version of a black hole right down there in west texas. And its not by accident. But thanks to men like bill wrena veteran tron her at mcdonald ab serve tori the largest and one of the busiest optical telescopes in north america it sits atop a west texas mountain. I know you have a number of nicknames, my favorite is the angel of darkness. Thats just the light police. Saving the darkness of the night sky is his mission. Using grant money he offers free light fixtures that aim light down and away from the night sky. Wren and others also help change building codes to make down lights mandatory in seven counties covering 28,000 square miles. To convince dilulio he offers this example. Starry night penned in 1889 when wren image ins the painting with todays light polluted skies it might look look more like this. It would be without starry night as vangogh would have been without how many vangoghs are alive today that wont have that inspiration. There may not be many vangoghs among the hundreds who come from across america nor overnight star parties at the observatory. But still, they are romantics and star gazers all in one. Like adam. Skies are really beautiful. The darker they are, the more you can see. Darkness is something you can sell these homes are being built specifically for people who want to live under the dark sky to help preserve their heavenly view, they are development, is that are outdoor lights. We come here at amateur astronomers to enjoy the skies without innate teens from Light Pollution. Bob newman came here for a night sky that i will entrances. How many of us are lucky enough to say this . You can read by the light of venus you can certainly read by the light of the full moon, the milky way comes up looks like clouds in the sky. Take a look at the moon like this you can say, now look how beautiful that moon looks. Look how large it is. And, says astronomer ron, the moon is just the beginning of exploration. There is stilt plenty to learn about the universe from gazing at a truly dark night sky. A lot of things out there that we dont know about thats whats exciting. Maybe we can still discover. We can still be those explorers and thats not over that our children and all our descendants will have that opportunity to discover thats what we need. And if you can keep the Light Pollution away they can actually stand here and do that. Thats right. That the what we hope to do here. Here one of the last places where modern man can look ip and see what our ancient ancestors saw. Trembling, delighting or just basking in natures night light. Pauley ahead. Actor Pierce Brosnan and the good life. How is your golf game . Miserable. But i love it. Paul
