(( First it was the tobacco companies, now it's the entertainment industry, criticized for aggressively marketing products to those too young to buy them. ROBERT PITOFSKY, FTC CHAIRMAN: "Many companies in those entertainment sectors routinely market their materials to an underage audience regardless of the ratings applied."
The Federal Trade Commission claims 80 percent of the R-rated movies studied, were targeted specifically to kids under 17. So were 70% of the M-rated video games.
The marketing WORKED, it says because the ratings systems DIDN'T.
The study showed 50% of underage kids were still allowed into R-rated movies, and 85% were able to buy explicit music and video games with few, questions asked.
The entertainment industry says that's not its fault. DOUG LOWENSTEIN, INTERACTIVE DIGITAL SOFTWARE "Ultimately it's up to the PARENT to decide what is appropriate for their children."

But George W. Bush used it not to highlite a problem with the industry, but a problem for Al Gore. GEORGE W. BUSH, REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE: "I think the man's short on credibility on the issue. I think they've received about 13 million dollars of campaign funding." "Funding, Bush claims, came from Hollywood heavyweights -- many of whom have been invited to Congressional hearings on the issue later this week -- where the battle between Politics and Entertainment enters another round.

Public Health Officials want to know how an Alleghany County woman contracted Legionnaires Disease.
The bacteria that causes the disease is spread through the air in water vapor such as the type created by a cooling tower air conditioner, or room humidifier.
The influenza-like condition involves acute pneumonia and can be fatal.
Some of the symptoms include headache, weakness, fatigue, high fever, dry cough, and chills.
This year, nine cases have been reported in Southwest Virginia.
The woman is being treated at UVA Medical Center, and is currently on a ventilator.
