Just in time for the holiday weekend, theres a shark scare off the Southern California coast. All that shes done it, upset of the championship. Welcome to the big time Victoria Duval. And all that matters. Dr. King would say the election of barack obama is not necessarily the fulfillment of my dream but only a downpayment. On cbs this morning. Billy ray was supposed to be on the show tonight. Im not quite sure hes worked out what his explanation is yet. You know what i heard on the asylum in russia. Welcome to cbs this morning. Charlie and norah are off today but Anthony Mason is here. Hello, gayle king. Good to see you. As you wake up in the west, the u. S. Is building its case for a military strike against syria. An attack could come within days. U. S. Officials plan to release an Intelligence Report as early as today. Ties the Syrian Government to last weeks chemical weapons attacks that killed hundreds. Now say they need four more days to finish their investigation. Holly williams is on the turkey syria border. Holly, good morning. Reporter good morning, anthony and gayle. Weve just been hearing from the United States envoy to syria, who said that evidence suggests a chemical substance did kill hundreds last week, but he warned that any military response should be approved by the u. N. Security council. Inside syria, u. N. Weapons inspectors began their work began today, two days after their team came under sniper fire. The inspectors convoy headed off to the scene of last weeks alleged chemical attack, after security concerns forced them to postpone their investigation yesterday. Theyre operating in a city thats become a war zone. The suburbs of damascus were pounded again yesterday, as they have been relentlessly in syrias deadly civil war. If the u. S. Does launch strikes against the regime, many syrians will welcome in. Brigadier general Mohammed Abud is the leader of the countrys armed opposition, the free syria army. He told us he commands 10,000 fighters and believes u. S. Strikes will help his side win the war. He said, the opposition has passed on information about possible targets to the u. S. Though we dont know how that information is being treated. The u. N. Weapons inspectors are still trying to determine for sure whether chemical weapons were used in last weeks attack. Theyre taking soil and tissue samples from the area that was hit. But more countries have joined the u. S. In saying that it was a chemical strike carried out by the Syrian Government. American allies, britain, france and turkey all support a military response. Even if its done without the approval of the u. N. Supreme court council. With expectations mounting of strikes in israel, people scramble to pick up new gas masks. Theyre worried the Syrian Regime might retaliate against israel as iraq did in the first gulf war. In syrias complex conflict, u. S. Strikes would anger many countries in this part of the world. Including iran, which supports the Syrian Regime, but also saudi arabia, which backs the syrian opposition. Anthony, gayle. Holly williams, a long the syrian border. A u. N. Resolution condemning syria for last weeks attack will be put to the Security Council later today. Yesterday, Vice President jill biden became the highest ranking official to accuse syrias government. Theres no doubt who was responsible for this heinous use of chemical weapons in syria. The Syrian Regime. For we know that the Syrian Regime are the only ones who have the weapons. Have used chemical weapons multiple times in the past. Have the means of delivering those weapons. Have been determined to wipe out exactly the places that were attacked by chemical weapons. And instead of allowing u. N. Inspectors immediate access, the government has repeatedly shelled the sites of the attack and blocked the investigation for five days. The president believes, and i believe, that those who use chemical weapons against defensiveless men, women and children, should and must be held accountable. Major garrett is at the white house this morning. Major, whats the latest on the intelligence assessment about the attack . Reporter good morning, anthony and gayle. President obama convened for the second time in four days a cabinet level meeting at the white house yesterday to discuss the entire syria issue. A good deal of that conversation was devoted to this key question of the intelligence being gathered to prove what the Administration Says is an absolutely airtight case the Syrian Regime was responsible for this chemical weapons attack. Weve learned this declassified report, which could be released tomorrow, will contain some signal intelligence. That is to say phone calls or evidence about the preparations for the attack within the Syrian Regime and other Data Collected about how it was carried out and how it was set in motion. That is the kind of evidence the administration wants to put before the American Public and the world to underscore its case to provide more evidence than the circumstantial case that joe biden made in that sound bite we just heard and other Administration Officials have made this week. Do you think the u. S. Credibility is at stake so now an attack is inevitable . Nothing is inevitable where military action is concerned. Any president or adviser to a president will tell you that. But everything we get here this week suggest this is on a very sustained momentum. The president is building the case not just within congress but also trying to communicate to other World Leaders this is a violation of an International Norm that has been standing since the early part of the 20th century. It cannot be ignored. And some form of military punishment must be exacted to underscore the international communitys revulsion about the use of chemical weapons and to hold the Syrian Regime accountable. Several lawmakers have called on obama to get congressional approval before launching an attack. Wheres the white house standing on dealing with congress and the u. N. On this . Two things, anthony. The Administration Says it will consult with congress but doesnt necessarily need its authorization to carry this out. As far as the United States is concerned, its a test vote today about condemning the Syrian Government for the use of chemical weapons. The administration will say, you see, russia vetoed that, stood in the way of that. We can still carry out military action under other parts of international law, specifically the geneva convention. It will be those legal frameworks the administration will turn to if it doesnt believe it can obtain United Nations Security Council approval. A group of hackers supporting the Syrian Regime says they shut down the New York Times website. New york times. Com went offline and wasnt restored until early this morning. The Syrian Electronic Army says it also disrupted twitters website. Users reported homepages going blank. The cyberattackers got to the times and twitter through an Australian Company that registered names of those websites. The market opened flat this morning. The dow fell 170 points in part due to concerns about syria. There are also signs of a new slowdown in the housing market. Cbs News Business analyst Jill Schlesinger is here. Good morning. Is this a fear factor here . Whats going on . Definitely a fear factor taking place in the last couple of sessions. With syria coming into light. But there is some trends that have been going on since markets reached alltime highs on august 2nd. We know people are worried the Federal Reserve is going to change Interest Rate policy and bond buying. Coming up in some period of months. Maybe its in september. Maybe its the end of the year. We also know that the debt ceiling debate is heating up again. Can you believe it . Two years later. I cant stand it. But its happening. And we know that the treasury secretary jack lew talked about this week. This rattled investors. Remember, last time we had a debt ceiling problem, markets were down 17 in the aftermath of that. So very important here. All this leading up to september. The worst month of the year for trading. Stocks usually fall by about half a percent since 1971 on average. Now down 4. 5 . Seems like a bad move over the months. Were still up over 14 so lets not go too crazy. Theres worry home price growth is also slowing down. How big a deal is that . House prices had been rising double digits over the last year. Probably not sustainable. Big reasons here, Mortgage Rates up a full point since early may. And also, as the market improves, more people list their homes. Inventory increases. Yes, weve seen big price increases. Thats going to slow down. Where we are in the housing market. Think about this. Were down about 23 from the peak. We are up 15 or so from the bottom. So progress. But its okay if it slows down. This cooling off actually might be good, better for the economy. You dont want housing to get ahead of itself. Thats true. Its really not sustainable to have double digit increases. Its better overall if we have a more moderate pace of increase so more people can get into the market. We dont want one of those runaway markets to take hold again. Thats not good for the economy. No, its not. Thanks so much. Fire crews in california are gaining ground this morning on a giant wildfire at Yosemite National park. Flames are still spreading fast. The rim fire named for a nearby Lookout Point called the rim of the world has burned 290 square miles in 11 days. Just yesterday, the fire grew by another 40 square miles. Its moving through more territory inside yosemite and continues to change direction. Reporter good morning, anthony and gayle. The fire has reached deeper into yosemite for two reasons. One, its burning in very dry and thick forest. The other, firefighters are still having to focus efforts on protecting homes outside the park. New numbers reveal that already more than 100 structures have burned. More than 300 camp sites at yosemite are closed because of the smoke and flames of the rim fire. Its pushing into remote areas. Leaving the main Tourist Attractions untouched for now. The fire is erratic. When it settles back down on the fire it spreads the fire in different directions. Reporter local resident jasper boyd shot these time lapse videos looking toward tuolome city. On the left is duck wall peak. Its the view Samantha Smith had of the wildfire from her home. When did you know you had to leave . We started seeing smoke plumes get closer to the house. And then the back of the mountain went up in flames. Smith doesnt know if her home is still standing. She fled last week after putting together a crib for the baby boy shes expecting. We just got it set up and hes only due in two months. So not knowing if ill have his crib or any of the things that he needs is hard. Reporter firefighters have been gaining ground in their battle to save these mountain communities. Its kind of like a norman rockwell. If you go downtown you see the park and its just so pleasant. To see all that gone, i think people are really here to fight for this town. Reporter 4,500 homes are still threatened by the fast moving flames. Also at risk, two groves of giant see kwquoias. These trees are known to have survived ground fires in the past. Experts believe the rim fire may be too intense. Thats where the concern is here, this fire can come in high and hot and do a lot of damage to these trees. Reporter the fire has reached the reservoir that provides water to 2. 6 Million People in San Francisco. But so far Officials Say there are no signs of contamination from the ashes. Air quality, however, is another story. The smoke has triggered Health Advisories here. And more than 100 miles away in nevada. Anthony and gayle. Thank you.

Our journey is not complete until our gay brothers and sisters are treated like anyone else under the law.

Trayvon martin could have been me. 35 years ago. There are very few africanamerican men in this country would havent hho haven experience of being followed when they were shopping in a department store. That includes me.

Judges say a person who sends a text could get this trouble for causing an accident. Terrell brown is here with that story. Terrell. Good morning to you. After the couple at the center of this case both lost a leg in a texting and driving accident, they sued the driver who hit them and the girl he was texting at the time of the crash. It sends a message to anyone texting. The Appeals Court ruled that the teenage girl who texted a friend while he was driving shortly before he crashed, could not be held liable, but the judges on the panel released a statement saying, in part, we conclude that a person sending Text Messages has a duty not to text someone who is driving if the texter knows or has special reasons to know that the recipient will view the text while driving. Last year cbs news spoke to linda and david cooper, the family at the center of the case. This is a senseless crash that didnt have to happen. Reporter on september 21st, 2009, they were riding their motorcycle down a new jersey road when this chevy truck swerved across lanes and crashed into them head on. What i saw was the gentleman in the truck steering with his elbow with his head down. I could tell he was text messaging. I looked down after the impact, and my leg was torn off, and i asked my wife if she was okay, and she told me the bones in her leg were going through her pants. Reporter both david and linda lost a leg in the accident. They filed a lawsuit against the driver who hit them and the girlfriend he was texting. Yeah, i believe that she knew that he was driving and answering her back with texts that, yeah, shes partially responsible too. The Appellate Court said the person sending a text to a driver is electronically present in the car and can be just as distracting as if they were sitting in that car in the passenger seat. I think theyre certainly trying to send a message. How do you know when you are sending a text that somebody is driving . I think thats going to be a big question going forward. How do you prove cases like this. This isnt necessarily a new law. Remember the girl was cleared in the case. The big deal here is what the judges said afterward, and that is you have a responsibility if you are a driver and you know that someone is driving, you should not be texting. Right. The minute you take that further, you can apply it to people making phone calls to people who are driving. Anything in the car use aing cell phone. Terrell brown, thanks. The Laguna Beach Unified School district in Southern California announced last night it will revise its lunch menus. Its the latest district to rebell against the federal healthy lunch program. A cornerstone of first lady Michelle Obamas campaign against childhood obesity. Jan crawford is in washington. Good morning. Reporter good morning, anthony. Good morning, gayle. The usda says these are just growing pains, and thats to be expected, but these complaints from School Officials just seem to be getting louder, and what theyre saying is that kids arent eating these vegetables and low fat choices, so they actually are ending up too hungry to even learn. They say theyre also losing money for just throwing out all this uneaten food. Reporter the new lunch rules in some districts say are just unpalettable. Grumblings came from School Boards in california to illinois, indiana, and new york. In kentucky one official said students thought the healthy fair tastes like vomit. David h. Freeman writes about the obesedy epidemic any time we try to force people into it, we can expect probably the majority of people to not want to make that leap. Reporter under the program, the federal government dictates portions and menus. Lunches must include fresh fruit, vegetables, and whole grains. Reporter theres a calorie cap that sounds almost like a weight loss program. 850 for high school kids. 700 for middle school, and 650 calories for elementary school. At californias Laguna Beach Unified School district healthy lunches went over like a plate of cold leftovers. Its not the Chicken Nugget oorz popcorn chicken or the corn dogs, the stuff the kids really like. Reporter this year the district will implement monthly taste tests and sell sandwiches to entice students back to the cafeteria. About 100,000 schools have signed up for the program, less than expected, but the usda said there were no widespread problems because most lunches met the healthy guidelines. Usda continues to provide additional flexibility and Technical Assistance to schools as they all now work to offer healthier meals. The agency said. Michelle obama remains a big proponent. 32 million American Children are getting more of the nutrition they need to learn and grow and be successful. And i do hope its delicious. Were working on that. Yes, indeed. Reporter despite the opposition friedman says, the program is a step in the right direction, but one that tried to go too far too fast. I think we need to be a little smarter about it and intermittent lane closure the bar and offer people more support so they can make smaller, more gradual steps. The laguna beach School District says it hasnt thats something a handful of districts have already done, by the way. A survey by the School Nutrition Association Found about 4 of its members are either going to leave the program this year or are thinking about it. Anthony and gayle. Mystery meat, here we come. Apple is well known for going against the grain, but now reports say the tech gianted will do something its committee torz have been doing for years. Iphone users will be able to give up their old phones and get credit towards a new one. Other companies have been doing this for years. This youre going to have to go into an apple store and theyll probably launch those around the end of the month and really ramp it up around midseptember, and youll say i want to trade in my iphone and get a new one. He will do some testing on it to make sure its in working condition, and theyll look up on a list they have and give you a price for it. If you say okay, theyll take your old phone, give you a new phone and give you an apple gift card for whatever that amount is to take off the price of your new phone, and then you walk out of the store. Youve already got your new phone. That applies for any phone you have . Iphone. Any old iphone the 5s and the 4s. Maybe the 3g. Again, as you point out, some other companies have been doing this for a while. Why is apple kind of late to the party here . Well, i feel like this is the kind of thing where consumers have been able to get a deal for a while if they knew their phones had some value, and i think apple saw that. A lot of people were figuring out that they could resell their old phones, and they dont want other companies controlling this secondary market of i phones. They want to have their hands in it because theyre interested this controlling everything about their products. They said we can provide the same service for our customers and keep it in the apple store. Thats good. Is apple offering a better deal . I look at prices on other web sites yesterday. I looked at what people were saying apple was going to be offering, and looks like apple will be offering a little less for the phones. You can probably get 300, a little more from some of the other sites for last years iphone. I think that apple will probably give you about 250 for that. A lot of people dont even buy their iphone at the apple stores, so how big of a deal is it for the Apple Company . Thats why they want to get you into that store and keep that retail circuit going because people get their phones through their phone carriers like at t, verizon or amazon or by going in one of the 50 million Cell Phone Stores we have here in new york. Apple would love for you to go into their store and buy their phone. Your advice is to shop around. Go to gazelle, amazon, apple, and check out the price for each of them for your phone and go for the one with the next money. Apple will introduce the next iphone, do you think . Thats what we think. I think its going to be a small step compared to last years pretty big leap with that iphone 5. A better processor, maybe camera improvements. Theres been some talk of a less expensive more plasticy iphone, but were not sure what the price is going to sit. The nice thing is were seeing a lot of leaked photos, so there arent going to be as many surprises. All right, dan ackerman, always good to see you.

The Newest Research says bmi may not be reliable. Dr. Holly phillips is with us now. Holly, good morning. All weve ever heard is bmi, bmi. Bmi is a very simple calculation. You just plug your height and weight into a chart and out comes a number, and it puts you in one of four categories, either underweight, normal weight, overweight or obese. Now on a population basis when you look at millions and millions of bmi numbers, its a useful measurement. It actually is correlate d with health risks related to being overweight or obese. But on an individual level thats where the number breaks down, just not accurate. Is there a better way to calculate obesity then . One of the things that the bmi doesnt look at is the big picture of what affects our weight. For instance it doesnt look at your age. It doesnt look at whether or not youre male or female. And it doesnt look at your muscle mass. So that really makes it inaccurate. Ill give you an example. Michael jordan at the height of his career had a bmi of around 28. Now thats well into the overweight category, actually even approaching obese. You dont have to be a doctor to look at Michael Jordan on the Chicago Bulls court and say hes not obese. But thats an example where he has a lot of muscle mass for his height and, therefore, his bmi isnt accurate. I think were in the same category. If you want to know youre getting fat, your clothes are getting tighter, youre getting fatter. Do something about it. Thats the gayle index. Is there a better way to calculate . What should we do . Using waist circumference instead. Abdominal fat is more dangerous than fat in other parts of your body. Its more linked with health risks. Also mri and cat scans can look for visceral fat, dangerous the fat around our organs. Cat scans expose to you radiation and mris are both very expensive. Those arent the tests for the future. We are still going to use body mass index but its important to put it in context, to look at the overall person, what is their muscle mass, how do they eat . Are they healthy . Are they exercising . And then draw your conclusions from there. The numbers dont tell the whole story. Theres a number for men and women around your waist. Thats right. For men, your waist should not be bigger than 40 inwas. For women not bigger than 35. Thats really where we start to see it. My obesity index is the mirror. There we go good morning. Headed out the door today, we do have some patchy fog and even some drizzle to begin with. But you know what . By the afternoon, the weather shaping up to be very nice outside.

The massive yosemite wildfire burned an area nearly the size of new york city, and officials are prepared to close a major road into the National Park just in time for labor day weekend. The rim fire destroyed more than 100 buildings, more than 4,000 other structures are threatened. Its smoke making the air dangerous to breathe in cities more than 100 miles away. 50 years ago today, 250,000 americans gathered at the Lincoln Memorial where Martin Luther king junior told the world i have a dream. This afternoon, president obama marks the anniversary of the march on washington with his own speech from the steps of the memorial. Cbs evening news anchor scott pelley is in washington covering the celebration on the National Mall. We get to see him earlier than we normally do. Great to see you. Good morning. Reporter good morning, gayle, great to be with you. It will be quite a celebration on the National Mall, a little rainy and drizzly in washington this morning. By the time the festivities begin this afternoon, things may clear up for everyone thats coming to mark this half century occasion. Matin luther kings great speech at the Lincoln Memorial. A few days ago we had opportunity to visit with three people actually there that day. They include Marian Wright edelman, founder of childrens defense fund, an activist at the time. Spoke to andrew young, former mayor of atlanta and former u. S. Ambassador to United Nations, and we spoke to julian bond who was a young activist on that day in the crowd singing we shall overcome and later went on to become a Georgia State legislator. Here is a little of what they had to say. When the train started unloading from the south and train load from philadelphia and then the movie stars flew in, then i realized this was really something big. Yeah, you dont have many opportunities in life to come together with folk to say here is who we are, the people, least what we want to be, here is what we can be as a people. Let me tell you a minute how frightened official washington was of this march, from a book called the bystander by nick bryant. All elective surgery in washington was cancelled, freeing350 beds for riot related emergencies, in the event of riot, policeman or National Guards man stationed on every Street Corner in washington. Deployed 200 scout cars, 86 motorcycle, 20 jeeps, police hell commenters, cranes to move broken down, disabled buses. 350 inmates evacuated from jail in the district to make space for disruptive protesters, and administration stationed an official to the right of the Lincoln Memorial with cutoff switch and record turn table if militants took over, the loudspeaker put off and replaced by mi hall i cant jackson singing hes got the whole world in his hands. Instead of a riot you had two . Absolute peace. I think two people were arrested that day. Reporter so the celebration will begin later this morning. Will continue through much of the afternoon. President obama will speak at the Lincoln Memorial, a little after 2 45 eastern time. Then a bell will be rung at 3 00, the time he gave that historic address. The bell is so important in this case, it is the bell from the 16th Street Baptist Church in birmingham, alabama, where two weeks after kings speech, the Klu Klux Klan laid a bomb at the church, killing four africanamerican girls, ages 11 and 14. That was one of the events that propelled the country towards the Civil Rights Act of 1964. All of that being commemorated today, a symbolic victory over racism. Gayle . I am hearing from very reliable sources Oprah Winfrey will be involved in the ringing of that bell, scott pelley. What can you tell us to expect from the president s speech tonight. What are you hearing . Reporter he was on the tom joyner radio show yesterday. Said the first thing i want you to know about my speech, it is not going to be as good. He said Martin Luther kings speech was one of the top five american political speeches of all time. I think what the president is going to say today is that enormous progress has been made against racism, particularly with regard to justice and access to voting, but the president will also say that not nearly enough progress has been made in the economic realm. The march on washington was called to march for jobs and equality, and the president is going to say 50 years later, we havent done enough on jobs. Interesting fact, we looked up the evening News Research department was telling us about three times more africanamericans are living in poverty than white americans and thats the same proportion that existed 50 years ago today. Certainly more work to do. Thank you, scott pelley. Scott will anchor cbs news live coverage of the president s speech on the National Mall, thats scheduled to start around 11 30, pacific time, and of course he will have a full report on cbs evening news. 40 years ago, the legendary confidential source known as deep throat helped expose the watergate scandal. This morning, as bill plante reports, deep throats favorite Meeting Place is about to disappear. Reporter this is the garage across the river from the Nations Capital in Northern Virginia where the Washington Post reporter bob woodward got the story that brought down a president. An argument could be made that bob woodward meeting at this garage landed the biggest scoop in journalism history. Reporter but this clandestine Meeting Place may soon be history. It was here, a government insider referred to as deep throat by woodward met with him multiple times as he and Carl Bernstein pieced together the story of a breakin at the Democratic National headquarters in the watergate ,,,,,, russias president , Vladimir Putin likes to portray himself as a tough guy.

The accident occurred during complex flying maneuver over the pierced heart. Inaccurate timing colliding jets. It caused a fireball that sent shrapnel spilling into the crowd of thousands, killing three pilots and 67 people on the ground, including four americans, nearly 500 were injured. Cbs news correspondent Mark Phillips covered the catastrophe from the american air base. For the United States and other nato air forces, yesterdays accident was more than a tragedy. It was a Public Relations disaster. Wow. Thats just a horrible day. Few World Leaders control their public image like Vladimir Putin. Russia aas president has released photos of himself hunting and fishing, sometimes is that a good look, people ask . Now a new papt iing it was ne to see you back in the day. Good morning to you. We call that progress. Good morning. It would be hard to think of two hotter buttons to push with Vladimir Putin than saying his gay and mocking his authority. Its a satirical picture in an art gallery or maybe its the latest skirmish between the president and the beleaguered Gay Community in the country. You choose. Reporter Vladimir Putin in a womans slip brushing the hair of Dmitri Medvedev in bra and panties. The russian president and Prime Minister is gay pose at a time the russian government is making way to make gay propaganda illegal. Such political satire is a dangerous game in putins russia and sure enough, police moved in quickly to close the exhibition down and take the offending picture away. The order owner of the gallery said the police didnt even give him a receipt. This is a government which is more brittle, more fragile than its been in quite some while. Certainly more sensitive than normal, some would say. Ultimately president putin doesnt like criticism. Reporter Vladimir Putin has chosen another sort of image for himself. Macho man. Hunter, gatherer. Preferably shirtless. But this sort of heman can be seen in another way too. It has to be said, and this isnt mentioned in hi paper, there are themes to some of the publicity stunts that Vladimir Putin has done with the horseback riding and the dieting. Anything for the naked torso. Reporter the exhibition may be closed down, but the image remains. Of course, closing the exhibit has inevitably given the offending image even more publicity. There are laws in russia not just against socalled gay propaganda, but against insulting authorities. Thus far, though, we havent heard of any charges being filed. Mark phillips, thank you. Russians dont have much of a sense of humor. Up next john voigt is coming up. Your local news is next. Stay tuned. ,,,,,,, span of the bay bridge is closing for good today.

Many of us associate this with electroconvulsive therapy or ect. It was used a brutal punishment in the movie one flew over the cukoos nest. Now doctors say its dr. Sarah chairs the department of psychiatry and behavioral snsz at doouk University Medical center. Good morning. Good morning. First of all, describe this treatment to me because, as we say, everybody has this impression from the movies as to what this is, but what is it today . Well, electroconvulsive therapy, or ect today, is nothing like what you have seen in the movies. Its a modern medical procedure. Its done under anesthesia. It lasts less than a minute or two, and its the most effective treatment that we have today for severe depression. Many people are still traumatized by what they saw in the movie because i couldnt get past the fact that you said its painless. Its painless because were asleep when it happens. Youre under answer these so you actually dont feel anything, and the movies have been misleading, unfortunately. When you see ect in real life, its really anticlimatic. Its nothing like you expect. From the Patient Experience what they experience is relief from their depression. Its important to know that depression can be very disabling, and its important to have these effective treatments when medications dont work. How does this actually work . This electroshock actually resets the brain, doesnt it . Well, it induces a brief controlled seizure, and that seizure is highly effective. Its more effective than medications. How does it work . Well, as a field, we are focussing on researching that question. You dont really know is what youre saying . We dont have complete answers, but we have been studying this, but weve learned a lot about the fundamental mechanic ect. Depression can kill. Ect can be lifesaving. Who benefits . Who benefits from this . Ect is not for everyone. Its for people who have very severe depression who have tried medications and maybe the medications werent effective or have interfering side effects, so if you have had depression for several months and youre not getting better, you really should ask your doctor about ect. Am i a different person afterwards, for instance, if i took it . What ect does is it takes away the depression, allowing you to be the person that you were. What are the risks involved . Well, the most important side effect is memory loss. It can also cause headache or muscle soreness, but in terms of the memory loss, we have advanced significantly as a field. We know how to do the treatment better to reduce that risk. Is it a cure or just a treatment . Well, its the closest thing we have to a cure today. However, its not a complete cure. You need to be on a maintenance treatment to prevent relapse after you recover. Does it mean once you have it once, you have to continue to have the treatments, or do you have the treatments until you period. All right, doctor. Thank you very much. Thank you.

You can see ray donovan on showtime every sunday night. When we come back, our cultural correspondent winton march sal estalks about one of americas most historic moments. I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up. Coming up, well take a look back at the historic march on washington and discuss its lasting impact. I have a dream today. ,,,, weve been talking about the anniversary of the march on washington. It was the largest demonstration for social change that america had ever seen at the time. Cbs news cultural correspondent winton marcellius offers a message on the history of that day and a commentary on where we are as a country half a century later. 250,000 americans gathered on the mall of the Nations Capital to peacefully request social and economic equality for our most oppressed group of citizens, the american negro. Moerch 25 people from all walks of life spoke, played, and sang that day. In an impressive tapestry of national leadership, mobilized for jobs and freedom and for redemption of the national soul. The convener of the march 74yearold a. Phillip randolph spoke first. Dr. Martin luther king jr. , 34, the charismatic focal point of the Civil Rights Movement spoke last. I have a dream. Dr. Kings oration was upon delivery a recognized masterpiece. This nation will rise up. Over time my four little children these words have become so well known that the march itself is reduced to one mans dream. I have a dream today. In fact, it was much, much more. That day everybody had a dream. We will sit in and kneel in and we will lie in if necessary so that every america can have a job. This Civil Rights Movement is not confined to the negro. Oh, yes, the march inspired a moral victory with broad social implications, but it provided no directives for tangible economic parody, and with the passage of time a moral force without concrete works, guys on the vine. How many of us today know that it was called the march on washington for jobs and freedom . I sure didnt poor and world war iing class citizens need to be an integral part of. This transsends race. Race is a matter of physiology. Discrimination is a matter of culture, and culture shapes Public Perception which influences political action. Somewhere in the mid 1970s i began to notice black and white artists stereotyping black people as criminals, pimps and drug dealers and gradually adding more and more mess onlying any and violence in music and videos in recording after recording. The constant glorification and reselling of this imagery has corrupted both blacks and whites understanding of black america. Unfortunately, that shapes current Public Opinion much more than the memory of dr. Kings dream. Following the success of civil rights legislation, many black americans erroneously thought that the election of mayors with their same skin color would lead to an increasing economic prosperity. Even the electing of a nonwhite president was misconstrued as the culmination of the Civil Rights Movement. Lets examine the unemployment, incarceration, and Education Statistics for the black and white. These sobering facts compel us to act on the collective dream express 50 years ago. A sustainable victory for equality and employment will not come through a profit, a president , or even the law. It must be the will and actions of the people, all the people, all the team. I have a dream today. Dr. King ended the march triumphantly. His i have a dream movie is rightfully known by all. It was enacted by everyone in attendance that day. We cannot walk alone. We cannot walk alone. When we walk together, we are an infinite resource and can create unimaginable possibilities. Separate, were fighting for what we mistakenly receive as never enough. Today is the perfect day to begin the on the mall of our Nations Capital 50 years ago by a mosaic of highminded leaders and 250,000 engaged activists. Lets walk together to claim our inheritance.
