Even a person coughing in a public space is viewed with suspicion, and foreign doctors are blamed for bringing ebola to africa, rather than trying to treat it. Emergency measures have been put in place in sierra leone and liberia, soldiers are going door to door trying to track infected pates and urge them to seek treatment, it is not enough.

Rices name is now added to a longz list of pro athletes akueds of abusing women or worse. What we have here is a suicidal man, o. J. Simpson with a gun to his head. Charged today with a double murder. Reporter how interested are people generally in athletes who get into criminal trouble . Enormously so. Athletes have become far more than any other time celebrities. Today i think theyre much more like movie stars and rock stars. Thats exactly the point. I think when we talk about professional athletes, we should be comparing them to celebrities, not to the average joe. Abrams is the author of anger management in sports. Talk about athletes being a violent population. Theyre more likely to be involved in criminal behavior, and theres no research to support that. Reporter most players, the overwhelming majority of Football Players and professional athletes in the country are like mike who have a full understanding of when the switch gets turned off. The perception is these guys are meptal case mental cas field and cant shut it off. We expect the gun and abuse charges. And when they do get charged, they get on page 1. Its not surprising that Aaron Hernandez, a former tight end for the new England Patriots has been splashed across the headlines. Hes charged with three homicides. The Massachusetts Police led Aaron Hernandez out of his home in handcuffs. Hearing gunshots. You start to hear about Aaron Hernandez. The new charges isnt over a spilled drink.

Reporter plaxico burress, a star nfl receiver became a tabloid star after he accidentally shot himself in a new york night club. Laxico burress is on the front page of the newspaper for weeks. According to published reports, burress was carrying the unlicensed weapon for prec. How vulnerable are these guys to attacks on themselves . I think judging from their own actions, they feel very vulnerable. Reporter the fact is some athletes are targets, and become victims, like shawn taylor of the washington redskins. Shawn taylor is just 24 years old and already a football star. Reporter taylor was shot when he confronted an intruder. The door burst open, and the gunman fired two shots. His girlfriend and oneyearold daughter were also in the house. Shawn taylor was shot and killed during a home invasion. So it does happen. Oscar pistorius has said he was armed because he was afraid of a home invasion. And for a growing number of athletes, fear is a part of fame. I dont know if there is a statistic on this that can be verified. I would say the percentage of athletes who carry guns has co probably jumped 50 from what it would have been 20 or 30 years ago. I think largely because they feel they have to. They feel they need it to protect themselves. You can have a separate argument whether its a good or bad idea, but forget what they say. Look at what they do. These guys are carrying guns, and theyre not doing it for no reason. Abrams says frequently athletes are their own worst enemies. Too proud with faced with challenges off the field to just walk away. Reporter do you think you know from real case histories the types of thing that is cause these guys to snap . Yes. The people they think are at greatest risk to snap are those full blown narcissists. The ones so full of themselves, and when they engage in criminal behavior its a rage. Where does is it start . Someone took a shot at your manhood. Reporter how hard is it to walk away . Its very difficult to walk away. Its difficult when youre in that mindset to turn it off. That gets guys in trouble. Eventually the judge in pretoria will decide what was at stake worry oscar pistorius. Was it his safety, or was it his pride . Osgood wait until you see what 60 minutes discovered. Miles and miles of empty towers, homes and subdivisions. Is this the next housing bubble . Tonight on 60 minutes. I can translate for you. Hey guys. I need you.

That was the day that army pilot john lecree look off from the field in dayton, ohio on the first demonstration of crop dusting by plane. Crop dusting flight was to follow. Among the first of the aerial dusters were the delta puffers. Osgood this informational film from the 1950s, offered a simulation of the crop dusting early days. Planes like the puffers inaugurated a new industry. Osgood along with chemical pesticides crop dusting planes opened up a front against weeds and insects and achieved no small measure of success. The planes were a common sight across america by 1959. A common sight put to common use in north by northwest. Thats funny. What . That plane is dusting crops where there aint no crops. The crop dusters pursued by carie grant is one of the most iconic movie scenes of all time. I believe most crop dusting flights are free of those pilots and free of pilots of any sort.

The drumming is among japans most cultural icon. Sado is home of one of its most renowned ensembles. Melody, no lyrics, mesmerizing. Drumming is doesnt quite convey the pyrotechnicss of th kodo troupe. The tightly choreographed performances on the drums are a joyous display of pure athleticism, as musical entertainment.
