The commission found in a 6 to zero vote that there is a chance the U-S furniture industry was damaged by cheaper Chinese imports. The ruling means the U-S Department of Commerce will now conduct its own investigation. Local furniture companies say the ruling is a major step forward.

Returning to our area, business leaders in central Virginia are calling for the creation of a Lynchburg Regional Airport Authority. Right now, Lynchburg's airport is run by and largely financed by the city of Lynchburg, but officials say an authority would give all of the surrounding counties more input. The five localities would appoint members to serve on the airport authority.

SOT CUTLER
"Unfortunately we don't know exactly what causes it. (It has always been a curious entity to the medical world.")
BRIDGE: (Dr. Sean Kenniff/CBS NEWS/Miami) But now doctors are beginning to unravel parts of that mystery. Most experts now think the cause of Fibromyalgia isn't in the muscles, or the joints of the body...But rather in the brain.

SOT CUTLER
"We have found out that in patients with Fibromyalgia. Norepinephrine and Serotonin are reduced in these patients."
AND THAT REDUCTION -- IN THEORY MAKES THE BODY MORE SENSITIVE TO PAIN. THAT'S WHY DR. CUTLER IS INVESTIGATING A DRUG THAT RAISES THE LEVELS OF BOTH NEUROTRANSMITTERS, HOPING IT CAN HELP THOSE WITH THE DISEASE.

"We are studying a medication that inhibits the reuptake of those chemicals, so the brain has more of those chemicals."

Now a psychiatrist is examing the man.
It happened at the Buenos Aires Zoo in Argentina, and part of what followed was caught on tape by a zoo visitor. Zoo officials say 22 year old Lucas Tomas (toe-MAHSS) jumped into the pen, took off his jacket, and egged the lions on. One of the lions ended up sitting atop the man, patting him with his paw, but causing no serious injuries. A tranquilizer dart sedated the animal, allowing rescue personnel to pull the would-be matador from the lion area.
