Armen Keteyian – Reporter for CBS 48 HOURS

48 hours takes a deep look into the War in Chicago.  Inner-city Chicago has become a war zone, with more Americans reportedly gunned down there last year than died in Afghanistan. Now the chaos is reaching into the windy city’s suburbs too, where people are dying not from gun shots – but from another killer, heroin. 48 Hours takes you from the mean city streets and leafy suburban cul-de-sacs where hundreds of children are dying from guns and drugs, and where a federal agent – himself once marked for death by a heroin kingpin - is waging a war to take the communities back. Our special investigation will include access to a DEA raid, a manhunt for one of the world’s most wanted drug lords, and the stories of loss, survival and activism residents caught in the cross-fire have to tell.  Armen Keteyian and Maureen Maher report. Don’t miss 48 HOURS "48 Hours Special Report: The War in Chicago" airs on Saturday, May 18, 2013 (10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT)


Jason Pugach – Event Specialist - The 24th Annual Culinary Evening with California Winemasters 
   
winemasterThe 24th Annual Culinary Evening with California Winemasters May 18th, 2013 at Warner Bros., "Midwest Street" - the Quintessential Any Town USA. The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation is the world’s leader in the search for a cure for cystic fibrosis. The Foundation funds more CF research than any other organization, and nearly every CF drug available today was made possible because of Foundation support. 

Cystic fibrosis is an inherited chronic disease that affects the lungs and digestive system of about 30,000 children and adults in the United States, and 70,000 people worldwide. A defective gene and its protein product cause the body to produce unusually thick, sticky mucus that clogs the lungs and leads to life-threatening lung infections and obstructs the pancreas and stops natural enzymes from helping the body break down and absorb food.

When the Foundation was established in 1955, children with CF were not expected to live long enough to attend elementary school. Due in large part to the Foundation's aggressive investments in innovative research and comprehensive care, people with CF are now living into their 30s, 40s and beyond.

Winemasters is one of the most important CFF fundraisers in the United States and one of the largest single-day charity wine auctions in the world, having raised almost $25 million for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation in 23 years. “Adding tomorrows every day” expresses the mission - and results - of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation’s steadfast efforts to continue extending the length and quality of life for people with CF.
