((THE SPY SCANDAL PROMPTED A RARE ON-CAMERA COMMENT FROM PRESIDENT BUSH ABOARD AIRFORCE ONE.
Bush:Allegations of espionage of an FBI counter-intelligence agent are
extremely serious and deeply disturbing.
THE MAN UNDER ARREST IS 56 YEAR OLD ROBERT PHILIP HANSSEN.
Hanssen, using the code name Ramone, engaged in espionage by providing highly classified information to the KGB and its successor
agency, the SVR, using encrypted communications, dead drops and other clandestine techniques.
THE F-B-I SAYS HANSSEN HAS BEEN AT IT FOR MORE THAN 15 YEARS...EARNING
1.4 MILLION DOLLARS FROM HIS SOVIET AND RUSSIAN HANDLERS.
THIS WEEKEND, AGENTS ARRESTED HANSSEN AT a VIRGINIA PARK AFTER HE
ALLEGEDLY PLACED THIS PACKAGE UNDER A BRIDGE FOR RUSSIAN AGENTS TO
RETRIEVE. THE F-B-I ALSO FOUND 50-THOUSAND DOLLARS CASH AT A SEPERATE
DROP...THE ALLEGED PAYMENT FOR HANSSEN'S TREASON.
The criminal conduct alleged represents the most traitorous actions imaginable against a country governed by the rule of law.
THE F-B-I SAYS IT DOESN'T YET KNOW THE EXTENT OF DAMAGE HANSSEN MAY HAVE
DONE TO NATIONAL SECURITY... BUT THEY CHARGE HE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE
DEATHS OF TWO K-G-B DOUBLE AGENTS EXECUTED AFTER HANSSEN FINGERED THEM.

Rats may have the answer to tell us just who will be fat-
And it may be as simple as a blood test to predict which youngsters will grow up with weight problems.
Scientists say a test is already in the works on laboratory rats- Whether such a test will work in people though has not been proven.
Researchers say they're amazed at how similar the underlying machinery of appetite and weight gain are in rats and people.
Scientists believe that too much fat in the diet- probably anything more than 30 percent of the daily intake of calories- triggers weight gain by prompting the body to store new fat and crave still more.

If you have ever surfed the channels on late night television, you've probably seen an infomercial for at least one ab-machine.

((
Narr: Can doing this really give you the abs of your dreams? I teamed
up with exercise physiologist Michael Youssef test out two products
dominating the infomercial airwaves-first the Ab Slide .
:04 Nats, Michael okay, let s first try the easiest positionkeep your
back straight and pull your stomach in.
Narr: The first thing I noticed when testing the Ab Slide is how
difficult it is to do properly. You have to keep your back flat, tuck
your stomach in, all while supporting about two thirds of your
bodyweight in a push-up type position.
:04 Nats Michael, so you can feel it in your shoulders, chest and lats
in your back, so that s goodbut it s also difficult to maintain this
posture.
Narr: So you re working not only your abs, but your upper body as well.
That's tough to do if you fit and strong.. It s easy to injure your
back if you arch it too much, like I m showing here. And you won t
really be working those abs if you aren t doing it just right. If you
re a beginner with a big belly-this is not the exercise for you.
Sot BK & Michael (:09)
This is much easier to do, much easier. M: you feel safer? B: I feel
safer, it feels like it s gliding more smoothly 02:45:45:28
Narr: The Torso Track , however, is much more user-friendly. It's much
more expensive than the Ab Glide but does provide more stability for
your back, making it easier to maintain good posture. But again, I
really had to work hard to do so, and I ve been exercising most of my
life.
The truth of the matter is, beginners who really have an ab problem are
better off starting with basic good old fashioned abdominal exercises
done safely on the floor where you can protect your back and really
focus on your abs.
