FILE - This July 2009 photo downloaded from the Arabic language web site www.muslm.net shows a man identified by the site as Khalid Sheik Mohammed, the accused mastermind of the Sept. 11 attacks, in detention at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. The picture was allegedly taken by the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) and released only to the detainee's family. An Obama administration official said Friday Nov. 13, 2009 that accused Sept. 11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and four other Guantanamo Bay detainees will be sent to New York to face trial in a civilian federal court.

The alleged mastermind behind the 9/11 attacks is heading to New York City for trial. Fox News has confirmed that U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder will announce that Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and four other 9/11 suspects will be tried in New York federal civilian courts. Up until now,they've been held at Guantanamo Bay.
What do you think of that?
Should the men suspected of planning the attacks on the World Trade Center & Pentagon be brought to New York City to stand trial?
Today on the show we have many stories spanning politics, health and science, but one story that has just broken with updates is the case of five year-old Shaniya Davis, who was reported missing on Tuesday of this week in Fayetteville, North Carolina.

Last night, my husband and I had the honor of attending a dinner in Washington, DC to raise money for a great cause. If fact, the group's name is CAUSE: Comfort for America's Uniformed Services.
It was started just six years ago by the wives of four classmates from West Point's class of 1967.
It has grown tremendously since then, yet it has virtually no layers of bureaucracy, so donations go straight to services for our veterans.
One of CAUSE's specialties is providing video game and movie carts for those who are facing months in the hospital with little to keep their minds occupied.

We want to say a special 'thank you' to the men and women who have served our countries. We admire your service and selfless spirit.
On Happening Now today we'll be speaking to Sgt. Klay South who started an organization called Vets for Valor. They have three main programs in which they take part.
1)Backpacks - The delivery of packs filled with items like iPods loaded with music and encouraging audio books.
2)Hero Wishes - Making a dream come true for wounded service members and their family.
3)A Night Out - A chance for wounded service members to step away from their "first community" - the hospital - and into their "second community," a local place where they can relax and enjoy time with family and friends. While it may seem like simply a good time to the patients, the therapeutic value of these events is immeasurable. It is a crucial step in preparing the wounded men and women for reintegration into their "third community," their hometowns, away from others who look like them or are facing similar challenges. These events are an important step into the middle ground of transition.
I joke that it’s my off-Broadway debut. That’s because the Irvington Town Hall Theater is just off Broadway in Irvington, New York, about 20 miles north of New York City and just south of the Tappan Zee Bridge. It’s a beautiful little theater that sits atop the Village Hall (hence the name). Back in the days before TV and the internet, it was the center of Irvington’s entertainment and cultural life. These days it’s an intimate little space in which audiences can catch a movie, a lecture or—the Clocktower Players production of ‘Camelot.’ I’d received an email mentioning the auditions in late spring. It sounded like fun—I’ve loved the music to ‘Camelot ‘ since I was a kid, although I never managed to see the show until I caught Richard Harris in a revival during the mid-80’s. So back in June, music in hand, I found my way to the theater. “How tough could it be?”, I thought. Irvington’s a small town. I’d done some community theater back home in Colorado more than 25 years ago—this couldn’t be much different, right? Wrong. The audition was, in a word, humbling. I was the third one scheduled. The woman who had the second audition went in ahead of me. When I heard her magnificent singing voice filling the theater and spilling out to the lobby where I waited, I knew I was out of my league. Leaving occurred to me; but then the door opened and it was my turn. I’ve since learned that gorgeous voice belongs to Lisa Spielman, a psychologist and biostatistician who is now our Guenevere. In that role, she’s simply perfect. Our magnificent King Arthur is Larry Reina, an attorney. And yours truly won the role of Lancelot. Originally I wasn’t sure I wanted to be the French knight who steals the Queen, but it’s turned out to be a great assignment. Taking myself out of the mix, I can honestly say it’s a beautiful production and a lot of fun to watch with glorious costumes, cute little children, amazing choreography and wonderful actors and singers who are onstage just for the sheer joy of sharing this beloved fable with audiences. As Lancelot says, “I’m honored to be among them.” We play three more shows this weekend and that’s it. It’s been a quarter-century since my last play, and it might be another before I return. If you’re in the tri-state area and have some free time this weekend, we’d love to see you—in Camelot. Tickets are available at Irvingtontheater.com.
