in the liver, it didn't start there.
The cancer most likely spread from
somewhere else in the body.

originally diagnosed with colon cancer.
He had his entire colon removed and

underwent six months of chemotherapy in
2005.

VO-NAT When it comes to survival rates
NO SUPER --less than 11-percent of liver cancer
patients are still alive five years
after diagnosis.

This year alone, nearly 17-thousand
Americans are expected to die from
liver cancer.

Surgery or a liver transplant are
the only chances for a cure. But in
most cases, it's not possible to remove
all of the cancer.

File Tape Lynchburg is spending hundreds of
millions of dollars to overhaul its out

overflow into area streams and rivers
during heavy rainfall.

Kaine's amendment creates a new
reserve fund of up to five million
dollars a year for C-S-O projects if
the General Assembly fails to
appropriate any money.

The governor also clarified
language in an eminent domain bill,
saying a locality may only condemn
property to promote specific public
interests.

Local housing authorities,
including the one in Lynchburg, had
concerns the bill might hurt their
efforts to buy up and restore blighted

SOT: Jose Smith/Miami Beach City

Attorney/In Sheridan Center

I HEARD FORM ONE OF the PATIENTS that
there was a BANK ROBBERY, they are

LOCKING DOWN THE BUILDING."

Police responded to a bank robbery
call. After quickly capturing one

suspect fleeing the Commercial Bank,
they got a phone call from two

people inside the Sheridan Center
across the street. They had a simple

message: Release the suspect or they
would start shooting. People who

were inside the building say they are
happy to get out alive.

SOT: Maritza Suarez/Works in Sheridan

Center

"IT WAS BAD, IT WAS SCARY, CONCERNED
ABOUT OUR CO-WORKERS, IT WAS BAD."

Levinson On-Camera Bridge: Miami police
say there is a connection

between the bank robbery and the two
men claiming to be holding

hostages, but so far have not figured
out what that connection is.

While some officers cleared the scene,
police helicopters buzzed

overhead and SWAT teams moved into
place...going from floor to floor in

the Sheridan center looking for the

suspects.

SOT: SARA SMITH/In Sheridan Center

"I think THEY THINK HE WAS DEFINITELY
IN THE BUILDING AND HOPING HE

DIDNT GET OUT."

SOT: Bobby Hernandez/Miami Beach Police

"Obviously they're completely
surrounded, the building, by air and on

the ground so they need to give up."

Now it is just a matter of time until
the situation is resolved. With an

army of heavily armed police outside,
there aren't many options for the

suspects. Drew Levinson, CBS News,

This Season Tincher posted a pair of

sturckout 18 of the 24 batters she
faced. For the weekend, she pitched 15
innings of shutout ball, striking out
out 29, walking none and giving up just
one hit.

For the season her gaudy
statistics are so unreal they appear to
be made up - but they aren't. She's

Knut was in the center of
controversy when an animal activist
insisted the bear who was rejected by
his mother, would be better off dead
than raised by humans.

But the Berlin Zoo promptly put an
end to the thought of killing the
bear.....instead letting him live it up
and play to the crowds.
