NYS SENATE...
(AP) - A judge has ordered New York's split Senate into a working session today but the Republican-led coalition that seized power three weeks ago promised an appeal that is likely to delay the passage of any legislation. Gov. David Paterson has called the two squabbling factions to work every day for a week since a power struggle resulted in gridlock, with no bills passed since the June 8 overthrow.
MICHAEL JACKSON...
(CBS) - A memorial service is planned for this afternoon at the famed Apollo Theater in Harlem, for Michael Jackson. Michael and other members of the Jackson 5 got their start there at an amateur night in 1967. The service begins at 2 PM Eastern with a moment of silence at 5:26 PM Eastern, the moment Jackson was pronounced dead last Thursday.
IRAQ...
(CBS) - Six years after the U.S. invaded Iraq, that country's military is back in charge - at least in the cities. At the stroke of midnight the final American combat troops were required to vacate urban areas. Non-combat troops, such as trainers, will still be welcome in the cities and 130,000 U.S. combat forces are positioned in bases outside of urban centers. To celebrate, Iraq has declared this a public holiday, National Sovereignty Day.
OVER THE COUNTER MEDICATIONS...
(CBS) - An FDA advisory panel is expected to issue its recommendation this afternoon on whether new restrictions should be placed on some of the nation's most popular over-the-counter medications like Tylenol, Excedrin, NyQuil and Theraflu. They all have acetaminophen as an active ingredient and acetaminophen has been linked to liver failure in some people. The panel meets at 1 PM Eastern in Adelphi, Maryland.
