[0:19] >> Welcome to World News Tonight. Fire

[0:21] fears. Intense winds fuel that

[0:24] California wildfire, driving it straight

[0:26] toward Santa Barbara. Labor losses. The

[0:30] latest jobs report shows pain and

[0:32] promise. We look at who is hiring.

[0:36] Dealing drugs. Teens turning social

[0:38] networking sites into shopping malls for

[0:40] illegal drugs. Outwardbound. The crew of

[0:44] seven taking a high stakes historic

[0:46] mission to space. They are our persons

[0:48] of the week. And tonight, a first look

[0:51] at that Air Force One photo that caused

[0:54] a million New Yorkers to panic.

[1:02] From ABC News headquarters, this is

[1:05] World News with Charles Gibson.

[1:07] >> Good evening. The line of fire is 5

[1:10] miles long. It is bearing down on Santa

[1:12] Barbara, California. Not just the

[1:14] outlying areas, but even the populous

[1:16] city center. The wildfire is fierce. It

[1:19] is pushed periodically by fierce

[1:21] shifting winds. It is burning out of

[1:24] control. And all Santa Barbara residents

[1:25] can do right now is get out of the way.

[1:28] 3,500 acres have burned. 30,000 people

[1:31] have been evacuated. For the latest,

[1:33] Brian Rooney is in Santa Barbara again

[1:36] tonight. Brian,

[1:38] Charlie, already today we've had a

[1:39] variety of conditions. We've had a

[1:41] little bit of uphill wind, a little bit

[1:42] of downhill wind, and now it's still

[1:45] it's a little bit like last night before

[1:47] it turned into a difficult night.

[1:51] This city continued to lose houses

[1:53] through the night. Fire randomly took

[1:55] some, leaving others intact. At least 75

[1:59] have burned, but there's no accurate

[2:01] count. As the sun rose, this house was

[2:03] fully engulfed, and there was nothing

[2:05] firefighters could do about it.

[2:07] >> Literally last night, all hell broke

[2:09] loose. Uh we saw the fire spread

[2:12] laterally across the top of the city,

[2:14] and the firefront extend to almost uh 5

[2:16] miles now. The fires are burning up in

[2:19] mountains above the city of Santa

[2:21] Barbara, but they've been so

[2:22] unpredictable, the mandatory evacuation

[2:25] area extends in parts to within four

[2:28] blocks of State Street. That is the

[2:30] heart of downtown. The evacuation area

[2:33] expanded in the middle of the night,

[2:35] filling emergency shelters.

[2:36] >> When they come around, I mean, your

[2:38] heart starts pumping. I mean, you know,

[2:40] you do get you do get anxious. You know,

[2:41] >> you're thinking this could this could

[2:42] really happen.

[2:44] >> What'd you get out of the house?

[2:46] clothes, computers with, you know, just

[2:49] the

[2:50] >> 1956 Les Paul.

[2:51] >> Didn't really.

[2:53] >> Is that right? Yeah. You brought your

[2:54] guitar.

[2:55] >> As always, some people have stayed to

[2:57] save their own homes. This man had a

[3:00] professional fire hose, but no training

[3:03] to use it.

[3:04] >> I don't think so this is the right way

[3:06] to hold it, but we are doing the job.

[3:08] They've got 2500 firefighters here

[3:10] bringing in a colorful array of engine

[3:12] companies from big cities and little

[3:14] towns all over the state. Today, a DCT10

[3:17] air tanker joined the fight. That's

[3:20] 12,000 gallons of fire retardant. In the

[3:23] brush and around empty homes,

[3:25] firefighters are waging small battles

[3:27] everywhere. We're going to win.

[3:31] Despite all their best efforts, though,

[3:33] it is the wind and the weather that is

[3:34] the biggest determining factor, Charlie.

[3:36] It's wind and weather.

[3:38] >> All right, Brian Rooney in Santa

[3:39] Barbara, California tonight. And as

[3:41] Brian mentioned, these fire problems can

[3:43] change momentarily. The hot, dry

[3:45] weather, that's constant. The winds are

[3:48] not. They can be calm during the day and

[3:50] then whip up as suddenly as darkness

[3:52] falls. It's a phenomenon known as

[3:54] sundowner winds. ABC's Sam Champion is

[3:57] also at the fire scene.

[4:01] Along the fire lines, firefighters are

[4:03] doing everything they can to gain

[4:05] control. But for the past two nights,

[4:08] sundowner winds have put mother nature

[4:10] in charge. Santa Barbara sits on the

[4:13] Pacific with the San Anz mountains right

[4:15] behind it. The geography and the weather

[4:17] patterns are what create these down

[4:19] mountain winds. As heated valley air

[4:21] rushes to the cooler coast right around

[4:23] sundown, those hot, dry winds blow over

[4:26] the mountains and down into the canyons,

[4:28] fanning the flames. If there's enough

[4:30] wind, that fire will jump even to these

[4:32] coastal communities, kind of taking all

[4:34] the cool, damp air along the coast and

[4:36] moving in right out of the way. Santa

[4:38] Barbara gets practically perfect weather

[4:40] year round, but they're also getting

[4:41] used to these massive wildfires. This is

[4:44] the second one in 2 years. Santa

[4:46] Barbara's average temperature is 71°.

[4:49] Over the past few days, the city has

[4:50] seen the mercury climb to over 100°. And

[4:54] in neighboring Monaceto, wind gusts were

[4:56] measured at near hurricane strength, 65

[4:59] m an hour. All during the sundowner

[5:02] winds and Sam is joining us now from

[5:05] Santa Barbara. And Sam, I'm wondering in

[5:06] coming days, are firefighters stuck with

[5:09] this with these patterns, these down

[5:11] mountain winds coming at sundown each

[5:13] night.

[5:14] >> Well, Charlie, we have at least one

[5:16] more. We're up in the top of the

[5:17] mountains now and the wind has picked up

[5:18] just a little bit here. But the big fear

[5:20] is one more night of these down mountain

[5:22] sundowner winds and then the weather

[5:24] pattern will change slightly to where

[5:26] Saturday into Sunday the winds will

[5:28] shift probably more from an onshore

[5:30] direction

[5:31] >> and and what will be the effect of that?

[5:32] Does that in effect drive the flames

[5:35] away from Santa Barbara instead of

[5:36] toward the city?

[5:38] >> Charlie, that's a really good point. It

[5:40] does drive him kind of back away from

[5:42] Santa Barbara, back up into these hills

[5:44] that have been burned once, but it

[5:45] doesn't mean the fires back in control.

[5:47] These flames are still raging in a lot

[5:50] of areas, and the winds will fan the

[5:51] flames no matter what direction they

[5:53] come from.

[5:53] >> All right, Sam Sam Champion out in Santa

[5:55] Barbara. Thanks very much. Next, we're

[5:57] going to turn to today's unemployment

[5:59] rate and more dramatic job losses. There

[6:01] was a net loss of another 539,000 jobs

[6:04] in April. The unemployment rate is now

[6:07] up to 8.9%. But that number of lost jobs

[6:10] is actually a marked improvement over

[6:12] recent months. Is the improvement

[6:14] significant? Here's David Mure.

[6:18] >> Even with the unemployment rate now at

[6:19] its highest level in a generation,

[6:22] economists say there is a glimmer of

[6:23] hope in today's numbers.

[6:25] >> Employers aren't laying off people as

[6:26] rapidly as they were. And as they do

[6:28] that, it means we're sort of approaching

[6:30] a bottom. And now we're actually no

[6:32] longer free falling.

[6:33] >> In other words, while the numbers are

[6:35] still staggering, the job losses have

[6:37] begun to slow down. More than 700,000

[6:39] jobs vanished in January, more than

[6:42] 600,000 in February and March, and now

[6:44] more than 500,000 last month. Today, the

[6:47] president said the numbers, while

[6:48] encouraging, are still a sobering toll.

[6:51] >> It underscores the point that we're

[6:53] still in the midst of a recession that

[6:55] was years in the making and will be

[6:57] months or even years in the unmaking,

[6:59] and we should expect further job losses

[7:01] in the months to come.

[7:03] >> But across many sectors, the scope of

[7:05] those losses could finally be shrinking.

[7:07] Construction 135,000 jobs in March, down

[7:11] to 110,000 in April. Factories, 167,000

[7:15] jobs in March, 147,000 in April. And in

[7:18] retail, 64,000 jobs vanished in March,

[7:22] 47,000 last month.

[7:24] >> We're nearing the bottom. The bad news

[7:25] is that we're not there yet. It's still

[7:27] bad for anyone on Main Street looking

[7:29] for a job. The number of people in line

[7:30] ahead of you are still getting it's

[7:32] still getting longer.

[7:33] >> Which is exactly what we found today at

[7:35] job centers on both coasts. In Brooklyn,

[7:38] New York, Cecilia Feden, who lost her

[7:40] advertising job last August, is still

[7:42] looking. The hardest part, just getting

[7:44] an interview.

[7:45] >> How many interviews? How many resumes

[7:47] have you sent out?

[7:49] >> Hundreds.

[7:49] >> Hundreds.

[7:50] >> Yes, I would say. Yes.

[7:52] >> While in Los Angeles, this divorced

[7:53] mother was getting job counseling. It

[7:55] has not turned around for her. When you

[7:57] apply for a job, it seems like everybody

[7:59] in the world is applying.

[8:01] >> And unfortunately, that's not going to

[8:02] change anytime soon because the

[8:04] economists I spoke with today said that

[8:06] even though the pace of the job losses

[8:07] is beginning to slow down, the

[8:09] unemployment rate is still inching up

[8:11] and they believe that will continue

[8:13] through at least the rest of this year.

[8:14] Charlie, some say even well into next

[8:16] year. David Mure, thanks very much. And

[8:19] when you hear the figure 539,000

[8:22] jobs lost, it obscures the fact that

[8:24] millions of people were hired into new

[8:27] jobs last month. It's just that 539,000

[8:30] more lost their jobs. For example, in

[8:33] February, 4.3 million Americans got new

[8:36] jobs. 4.3 million hired in a single

[8:39] month. Dan Harris tonight looks at where

[8:41] the new jobs are. They've recently hired

[8:45] 72 people at Culver's hamburger and

[8:47] frozen custard restaurant in Surprise,

[8:49] Arizona. Eddie Ham, who lost his

[8:52] construction job, is the new fry guy.

[8:54] >> I'm just happy that I found a job and

[8:56] I'm not staying at home.

[8:57] >> IBM is looking for 700 people in Deuke,

[9:00] Iowa. Walmart expects to add 50,000

[9:03] people this year. Today's job report

[9:05] shows growth in a whole range of

[9:07] industries from health care, the federal

[9:09] government where they're hiring

[9:11] thousands of census takers to food

[9:13] manufacturing.

[9:14] >> I think nine out of 10 of us, we look at

[9:16] 600,000 jobs lost and we think, "Oh,

[9:19] well, that's it." It

[9:20] >> it doesn't tell the whole story. I mean,

[9:21] over that same month, many many people

[9:23] have have gotten new jobs and started

[9:26] new great careers. And I think it's very

[9:28] important, especially if you're looking

[9:30] for a job, not to get depressed in this

[9:32] environment. In fact, some employers

[9:34] have run into a major obstacle in hiring

[9:36] at the Cleveland Clinic where they have

[9:38] 300 openings right now. They're having

[9:40] trouble getting out of towners to

[9:42] relocate.

[9:43] >> Folks uh have trouble selling their

[9:45] homes and so it gets complicated when

[9:47] you have to get people to move.

[9:49] >> But the major issue for both employers

[9:51] and potential employees these days is

[9:53] the sheer volume of applicants. There

[9:56] are now 4 and a half out of work

[9:57] Americans for every open job.

[10:00] >> Are you flooded with applications? Yeah,

[10:02] absolutely.

[10:02] >> At the Fairway supermarket chain in the

[10:04] New York City area, they are becoming

[10:06] very selective.

[10:07] >> We're really almost brain typing uh for

[10:10] the perfect Fairway employee. You have

[10:11] to have a certain drive, a certain work

[10:13] ethic, and really a certain persona that

[10:15] that fits within our company.

[10:17] >> Experts say job seekers in the current

[10:19] environment have to keep an open mind

[10:21] and keep at it. But there are jobs out

[10:24] there, millions of them.

[10:26] >> Dan Harris, ABC News, New York.

[10:29] The White House announced that President

[10:30] Obama is going to visit Egypt on June

[10:33] 4th to deliver a long promised speech on

[10:35] US relations with the Muslim world. The

[10:37] president will fly on to Germany to

[10:39] visit Bukinwald, the Nazi concentration

[10:41] camp. And then on June 6th, he'll be in

[10:44] Normandy, France for the 65th

[10:46] anniversary of D-Day. And still ahead on

[10:49] World News, a first look at the photo

[10:51] that scared New Yorkers and angered the

[10:53] president. And today, it cost a White

[10:55] House aid his job. Teenagers peddling

[10:58] drugs on social networking sites and the

[11:00] concerned mother who did something about

[11:02] it. Talk about the right stuff. The

[11:05] astronauts embarking on a dangerous

[11:07] mission. They are our persons of the

[11:09] week.

[11:13] >> This is World News with Charles Gibson

[11:16] brought to you by Applebees.

[11:25] Applebee's introduces real burgers. A

[11:28] real burger takes both hands. A real

[11:30] burger requires lots of napkins and

[11:32] sometimes a sleeve. A real burger is

[11:35] real at first bite.

[11:38] >> Introducing real burgers only at

[11:40] Applebee's. Made fresh, glamless flavor

[11:45] most. Real fresh. Real deal. Real

[11:49] burgers. Get real burgers only at

[11:57] >> I've had asthma forever.

[11:58] >> I've had asthma for as long as I can

[12:00] remember.

[12:01] >> 10 years.

[12:02] >> I used to wonder why my medicine

[12:04] wouldn't help prevent help prevent my

[12:06] symptoms from coming back.

[12:07] >> I just figured it couldn't get any

[12:09] better.

[12:09] >> And then I found out something I didn't

[12:11] know. I found out there were two main

[12:12] causes of asthma symptoms. Airway

[12:14] constriction you feel and inflammation

[12:16] you may not.

[12:17] >> Most medicines don't treat both. So my

[12:19] doctor prescribed Adver. Adver treats

[12:22] both main causes to help prevent

[12:23] symptoms in the first place.

[12:25] >> Adver contains Selmeterol. Salmeerol may

[12:27] increase the chance of asthma related

[12:29] death. So Advver is not for asthma

[12:30] that's well controlled on another

[12:32] controller medicine. Advare will not

[12:34] replace fast acting inhalers for sudden

[12:35] symptoms and should not be taken more

[12:37] than twice a day. Talk to your doctor

[12:39] about the risks and benefits of Advare.

[12:41] If you take Advare, see your doctor if

[12:43] your asthma does not improve or gets

[12:45] worse. If you're still having symptoms,

[12:47] ask your doctor how to help prevent them

[12:48] with Advare.

[13:27] >> A White House aid resigned today after

[13:30] he was the one who authorized the use of

[13:31] the president's jet, Air Force One, for

[13:33] a flyover of the Statue of Liberty. The

[13:35] sight of that 747 flying low over the

[13:38] area near ground zero, trailed by

[13:40] fighter jets, evoked memories of 9/11

[13:43] for New Yorkers, and the president was

[13:44] said to be infuriated. Here's Jake

[13:47] Tapper at the White House. People in New

[13:50] York City thought it was another

[13:51] terrorist attack.

[13:52] >> It sound like a plane was trying to go

[13:54] into one of the buildings. A plane?

[13:56] >> Just like, you know what? Let me just

[13:57] get the hell out of here.

[13:58] >> Who's the genius behind that? Cuz that

[14:00] didn't make any sense. But it was

[14:02] nothing more than a photo op for this

[14:04] and other pictures of Air Force One with

[14:06] the Statue of Liberty. The White House

[14:08] investigation into the Air Force One

[14:10] flyover points the finger of blame at

[14:12] military office director Lewis Caldera.

[14:14] The report states that three times

[14:16] Caldera's deputy George Mulligan says he

[14:19] suggested that his boss tell senior

[14:21] officials in the White House about the

[14:22] flyover. Caldera never did. quote, "When

[14:26] asked why he failed to do so," the

[14:28] report states, Caldera did not offer a

[14:30] coherent explanation. He suggested that

[14:33] it may have been an oversight. On the

[14:35] Friday before the flyover, Mulligan sent

[14:37] an email to Caldera with the final

[14:39] details of the flight. Caldera says he

[14:42] did not read that email until after the

[14:43] flyover occurred, a mission the

[14:45] Secretary of Defense estimates

[14:47] officially cost roughly 330,000 taxpayer

[14:50] dollars and may have violated military

[14:53] protocols. The latest Obama

[14:54] administration move has been staging

[14:57] cost costly glamour shots of Air Force

[15:00] One.

[15:01] >> The report said Caldera claimed he had

[15:03] no idea the flight would be at only

[15:05] 1,000 ft. And the report recommends an

[15:08] examination into the structure and

[15:09] communications abilities of the White

[15:11] House military office.

[15:13] >> The president instructed the staff to

[15:14] ensure that it doesn't happen again. And

[15:17] uh those are the steps that that we're

[15:19] taking. The White House has had a few

[15:21] cabinet nominees withdraw their names

[15:23] from consideration, but this is the

[15:24] first official resignation under fire.

[15:27] As for President Obama, a source close

[15:29] to him says he still does not understand

[15:31] how anyone could have thought this was a

[15:33] good idea. Charlie

[15:34] >> Jake Tapper reporting tonight from the

[15:36] White House. And one more note about the

[15:38] Statue of Liberty. The Obama

[15:40] administration has decided to fully

[15:42] reopen the landmark. The statue was

[15:44] closed after the 9/11 attacks because of

[15:46] security concerns. The base, pedestal,

[15:49] and lower observation deck later

[15:51] reopened. Now, starting July 4th,

[15:53] visitors will also be allowed into the

[15:55] statue's crown. Still ahead, internet

[15:59] drug rings operating on the social

[16:00] networking sites that are very popular

[16:03] with teens.

[16:06] >> I'm Lindy. And I'm Joanie. We've been

[16:08] best friends since we were two. We've

[16:10] always been alike. We even both have

[16:12] osteoporosis, but we're active,

[16:15] especially when we vacation. So, when I

[16:17] heard about Reclass, the only once a

[16:19] year IV osteoporosis treatment, I called

[16:22] Joanie. My doctor said Reclass helps

[16:24] restrengthen our bones to help make them

[16:26] resistant to fracture for 12 whole

[16:29] months. And Reclast is approved to help

[16:31] protect from fracture in more places,

[16:33] hip, spine, even other bones.

[16:35] >> You should not take Reclass if you're on

[16:37] Zometa, have low blood calcium, kidney

[16:39] problems, or you're pregnant, plan to

[16:40] become pregnant or nursing. Take calcium

[16:42] and vitamin D daily. Tell your doctor if

[16:44] you develop severe muscle, bone or joint

[16:46] pain, or if you have dental problems as

[16:48] rarely jaw problems have been reported.

[16:50] The most common side effects include

[16:52] flu-l like symptoms, fever, muscle or

[16:54] joint pain and headache.

[16:55] >> Nothing strengthens you like an old

[16:56] friendship. But when it comes to our

[16:58] bones, we both look to reclass. You've

[17:01] got to ask your doctor. Once a year

[17:02] reclass year-long protection for

[17:04] onthe-go women.

[17:10] >> Can't stop weeding? Then apply Pin for

[17:13] gardens in just one application. PIN

[17:15] prevents weeds for three months. Stop

[17:17] weeds with Pin. Pin works so you don't

[17:20] have to.

[17:22] >> I have high blood pressure and I was

[17:24] surprised to learn that it may have led

[17:26] to my erectile dysfunction. That's when

[17:28] my doctor told me about Levitra.

[17:30] >> Certain medical conditions including

[17:31] high blood pressure, diabetes, and high

[17:33] cholesterol can decrease blood flow

[17:35] which may lead to ED.

[17:37] >> That was news to me and my doctor told

[17:39] me Levitra could help. Levitra works by

[17:42] increasing blood flow to help treat ED.

[17:44] >> Levitra works for me. Maybe it can work

[17:46] for you.

[17:47] >> Ask your doctor if you are healthy

[17:49] enough for sexual activity. If you have

[17:51] heart problems or on alpha blocker

[17:52] therapy or have uncontrolled high blood

[17:54] pressure, talk to your doctor before

[17:55] taking Levitra. Do not take Levitra if

[17:58] you take nitrates for chest pains as

[18:00] this may cause an unsafe drop in blood

[18:01] pressure. Side effects may include

[18:03] headache, flushing, and stuffy or runny

[18:05] nose. To avoid long-term injury, seek

[18:07] immediate medical help if you experience

[18:09] an erection lasting longer than 4 hours.

[18:11] If you have any sudden decrease or loss

[18:13] of vision or hearing, stop taking

[18:15] Levitra and call your doctor right away.

[18:17] Ask your doctor if Levitra is right for

[18:20] you. Are you and your gray hair facing

[18:23] an identity crisis?

[18:24] >> My hair says experience. My hair says

[18:27] energy.

[18:27] >> Touch of gray. The best of both combs

[18:29] away a little gray. Never too much. Just

[18:31] right.

[18:32] >> Now I look like I know what I'm doing

[18:34] and can still do it. Touch of Gray.

[18:38] >> The chase is on.

[18:39] >> Open the door at the police.

[18:41] >> To target and hunt down career criminals

[18:43] hiding in the suburbs.

[18:44] >> Police.

[18:45] >> Monday. Ride along. Unprecedented access

[18:48] on the crackdown that's paying off big.

[18:50] Only on World News with Charles Gibson.

[18:54] >> An update to last night's story about

[18:56] the shooting death of a student at

[18:57] Wesleyan University in Connecticut. The

[18:59] suspect, 29-year-old Steven Morgan, has

[19:02] surrendered to police. He allegedly had

[19:04] a grudge against the victim. According

[19:06] to the arrest warrant he wrote in a

[19:08] journal, kill Joanna. She must die. And

[19:10] I think it okay to kill Jews and go on a

[19:14] killing spree. We're going to turn next

[19:16] to a new phenomenon involving young

[19:18] people and the internet. Those with

[19:20] teenagers at home know about the

[19:21] popularity of social networking sites

[19:24] that allow friends to stay in touch with

[19:25] one another. But as police and now

[19:28] parents are discovering, the sites can

[19:30] also be used for illegal purposes.

[19:32] Here's ABC's Laura Marquez.

[19:35] >> Linda Carneahan began checking out her

[19:37] son's internet activity after his

[19:39] behavior became increasingly erratic. In

[19:42] the back of my mind, I'm thinking, you

[19:44] know, something's not right here, but I

[19:46] want to trust you.

[19:48] And as it got progressively worse, it

[19:52] was like I had to cross that line.

[19:54] Logging onto her son's MySpace account,

[19:56] Carneahan found links to pages full of

[19:58] phrases such as white Macintosh fizzles,

[20:02] purple pokeballs, hit me up if need any.

[20:05] >> How did you find out what purple poke?

[20:06] >> I Googled it and it came up as

[20:09] >> Carneahan tipped off police who began an

[20:11] undercover operation.

[20:13] >> How much of this did you buy?

[20:14] >> Over 200 tablets in about three or four

[20:17] or five days. Lieutenant Steve Bailey

[20:19] says the MySpace page led to the arrest

[20:22] of 10 dealers in Phoenix, selling to

[20:24] more than 500 high school and college

[20:26] students. The contacts were made online.

[20:29] The deal occurred the old-fashioned way,

[20:32] face to face.

[20:33] >> We had no idea how widespread it was.

[20:34] But

[20:35] >> and if it's going on here, it must be

[20:36] going on in other parts of the country.

[20:38] >> Absolutely, without question. Police

[20:40] departments across the country now have

[20:42] officers assigned whose primary job is

[20:45] to troll social networking sites. They

[20:48] hunt for signs of drug dealing and other

[20:50] criminal activity.

[20:52] >> If you're concerned about MySpace,

[20:54] that's one of the safer social

[20:55] networking sites.

[20:56] >> But with so many teens using these

[20:58] sites, it's extremely difficult for

[21:00] police to keep up.

[21:02] >> With millions and millions of pages out

[21:03] there, it's like finding a needle in a

[21:05] hay stack.

[21:06] >> Police say the best defense is a parent.

[21:09] Would you do it again?

[21:10] >> You bet. You bet. He picked the wrong

[21:13] kid to sell drugs to.

[21:15] >> Carneahan warns, "Keep tabs on what your

[21:17] child is doing in the real world and the

[21:19] virtual one." Laura Marquez, ABC News,

[21:23] Phoenix.

[21:24] >> There is a new entry rapidly climbing

[21:27] the list of America's most popular baby

[21:29] names. Barack, as in, well, you know, as

[21:33] in the name jumped more than 10,000

[21:35] places on the list of popular names.

[21:37] That's a record to number 249 on the

[21:39] list of most popular boys names. The

[21:42] most popular, Jacob for boys. Emma has

[21:47] replaced Emily for girls. And still

[21:50] ahead, the astronauts embarking on a

[21:52] risky rescue mission. There are persons

[21:54] of the week.

[21:57] >> I thought I knew all about high

[21:59] cholesterol.

[22:00] >> But then my doctor told me something I

[22:01] didn't know. While I was building my

[22:03] life, my high cholesterol was

[22:05] contributing to plaque buildup in my

[22:07] arteries.

[22:08] >> That's why my doctor prescribed Crestor.

[22:10] People everywhere are learning that

[22:12] plaque buildup is a real reason to lower

[22:14] high cholesterol and that Crestor can

[22:17] help. Along with diet, Crestor does more

[22:19] than lower bad cholesterol. It raises

[22:22] good. Crestor is also proven to slow the

[22:25] buildup of plaque in arteries. Crestor

[22:27] isn't for everyone, like people with

[22:28] liver disease or women who are nursing,

[22:30] pregnant, or may become pregnant. Simple

[22:33] blood tests will check for liver

[22:34] problems. You should tell your doctor

[22:36] about other medicines you're taking or

[22:37] if you have muscle pain or weakness,

[22:39] that could be a sign of serious side

[22:41] effects. Like others, while you've been

[22:43] building your life, plaque may have been

[22:45] building in your arteries. Find out more

[22:47] at crestor.com.

[22:49] Then ask your doctor if it's time for

[22:52] Crestor. If you can't afford your

[22:54] medication, Astroenica may be able to

[22:56] help.

[24:47] The president's national security

[24:49] adviser in his first Sunday interview

[24:51] and Senator John McCain on the future of

[24:54] his party. Both face tof face with

[24:56] George. Only on This Week Sunday.

[25:00] Finally tonight, our persons of the

[25:03] week. They are six men, one woman tasked

[25:05] with a delicate and dangerous mission.

[25:07] This crew of seven arrived at the

[25:09] Kennedy Space Center late today, ready

[25:11] for a Monday shuttle launch, taking them

[25:13] on a risky journey to the Hubble

[25:15] telescope, where they will try to repair

[25:17] mankind's best instrument yet for gazing

[25:20] into the universe.

[25:21] >> Well, I think that we as humans have a

[25:23] real curiosity about where we came from

[25:26] and how it all started. And I think that

[25:28] Hubble is an instrument that helps us

[25:30] answer those kinds of questions.

[25:32] Atlantis will carry an eclectic crew

[25:34] from commander Scott Alman, a decorated

[25:36] Navy pilot who stunt doubled for Tom

[25:38] Cruz in Top Gun

[25:41] to geologist Drew Foytol, a rock and

[25:43] roller who got hooked on space watching

[25:45] the Jetsons

[25:47] to New Yorker Mike Masamino so devoted

[25:50] to the New York Mets, he's taking Sha

[25:52] Stadium's old home plate into space and

[25:55] >> they can push off like this and come up.

[25:57] It has been a long wait, many delays for

[25:59] this mission and it's been seven years

[26:02] since a shuttle visited Hubble.

[26:04] >> With the delays we've had, our eyesight

[26:05] is suffering big enough. I had perfect

[26:08] eyesight.

[26:08] >> Yeah. At this point

[26:09] >> and all dark hair. Let's

[26:11] >> start already. Let's go.

[26:12] >> It's a funny feeling. It's uh you

[26:14] develop kind of like your own family as

[26:16] a crew working together this long.

[26:19] >> Spread out.

[26:20] >> A family of six guys and one gal. Megan

[26:22] MacArthur on a camping trip with your

[26:25] six older brothers. Yeah,

[26:27] >> trapped in a tiny tent for 10 days.

[26:29] >> You might

[26:30] >> I don't think anybody feels sorry for

[26:31] us.

[26:32] >> Well, you promised me there was no

[26:33] snoring in space.

[26:35] >> I don't think I asleep to that.

[26:40] >> They are mindful of the risk.

[26:43] >> Every space flight is is risky. In this

[26:45] case, it's a little bit different

[26:46] because we're not going to the space

[26:48] station. Most uh space shuttle missions

[26:51] go to the space station. With us,

[26:52] there's no place to stay on the on the

[26:55] telescope. So we would be stuck in the

[26:57] shuttle until someone can come rescue

[26:59] us. We don't have that much time. We

[27:00] don't have the luxury of hanging around.

[27:02] >> Only 13 days hanging around time. The

[27:04] shuttle Endeavor will be standing by for

[27:06] a rescue if needed.

[27:08] >> You have to get the rescue orbiter then

[27:11] out there.

[27:11] >> We'd launch and then the rescue comes

[27:13] out

[27:13] >> and they would launch as quick as they

[27:15] could and that turns out to be 13 days

[27:17] after we go up. In some scenarios, we

[27:19] run out of cryo in the 16-day window. So

[27:23] launch cry

[27:24] >> the cryogenic oxygen.

[27:27] >> That's what I but it'll all be worth it

[27:29] when they get to see the pictures the

[27:31] telescope takes.

[27:32] >> People ask where my favorite Hubble

[27:34] image is and mine is the the cone nebula

[27:37] >> is a birthplace for stars. All these

[27:39] stars are shooting out the top. It's a

[27:41] star nursery.

[27:42] >> The most wondrous view they say though

[27:44] is of home.

[27:45] >> What a privilege it is cuz very few

[27:46] people get to see the earth from that

[27:48] vantage point. And it's beyond words.

[27:50] You know, you can't describe how

[27:52] beautiful it is. You know, the closest

[27:53] I've come is to say it, you know, it's

[27:54] like looking into heaven. It's just

[27:57] perfection.

[27:58] >> And so we choose astronauts Alman,

[28:00] Johnson, Masamino, Good, MacArthur,

[28:02] Foytol, and Grunsfeld. We wish for them

[28:05] a Monday launch as scheduled. And then,

[28:08] Godspeed, safe travels, and a successful

[28:11] mission. That is world news for this

[28:13] Friday. I'm Charlie Gibson, and I hope

[28:15] you had a good day. For all of us at ABC

[28:17] News, have a great weekend.

[28:34] The stakes are very high right now.

[28:37] What's truly important to people is how

[28:39] does this story affect me?

[28:41] >> ABC's World News with Charles Gibson.

[28:44] Cutting through the noise. And that

[28:46] makes bringing people the news all the

[28:48] more important.

[28:50] >> Should companies be able to fire women

[28:52] who get pregnant? Should tigers be

[28:54] farmed to sell their coats? Should we

[28:56] cut Medicare for the elderly? There are

[28:58] some things you can't even talk about.

[29:00] But tonight, that's not stopping John
