21:42Winner of six Emmys.
21:57Desperate Housewives season premieres Sunday on ABC.
22:04Tonight, will you be able to catch a great night's sleep?
22:07Or will your restless mind keep chasing sleep away?
22:11I've got to remember that appointment tomorrow.
22:14Did I send the car payment?
22:15Introducing Lunesta, a sleep aid that can give you and your restless mind the sleep you need.
22:21Lunesta helps most people sleep all through the night and works quickly, so take it right before bed.
22:27Lunesta is non-narcotic and approved for long-term use.
22:31Of course, do not use sleep medicines for extended periods without first talking to your doctor.
22:36Be sure you have at least eight hours to devote to sleep before becoming active.
22:41Until you know how you'll react to Lunesta, you should not drive or operate machinery.
22:45Avoid taking Lunesta with alcohol.
22:47All sleep medicines carry some risk of dependency.
22:50Side effects may include unpleasant taste, headache, drowsiness, and dizziness.
22:55Ready to catch a great night's sleep?
22:57Just climb into bed and leave the rest to Lunesta.
23:00If they're going to put mayonnaise on a BLT, they should call it an MBLT.
23:05It's only right.
23:06Well, in that case, they should call it a BBLT because of the bread.
23:09No.
23:10In the sandwich world, bread is valve 347.
23:14The bread is a given.
23:15Oh.
23:15You have mayonnaise as a condiment.
23:24Condiments don't get initials.
23:26Who made up that rule?

24:17But it's so braving about Lord of War.
24:18Where there's a well, there's a weapon.
24:20I think Ben Roper gave it two big thumbs up.
24:22Lord of War is a wild ride.
24:24The best international thriller since the born supremacy.

35:41the texas coast are heading for cover good evening and thanks for having us in for news 13 at 10 i'm
35:47jerry brown and i'm amy hoyt not in the past 90 years have two hurricanes of category four or higher
35:54hit the mainland of the united states in the same year now we may get to within one month hurricane
36:00rita actually escalated to category five and tonight the wind speed is at 175 miles an hour
36:07for the very latest here's chief forecaster jerry tavitt in the storm team 13 forecast center
36:11thank you jerry and let's go to the weather computer we'll show you the perspective on this first of
36:16all this is of course hurricane rita on the left hand side of your screen and tropical storm felipe
36:21on the right hand side of your screen we'll put this into motion rita made a little bit of a jog
36:26towards the northwest this afternoon but is now headed right back on a westerly course
36:30and that is expected to continue for the next 24 hours this track still carrying this storm into
36:36the central gulf coast of texas somewhere over the next 45 hours or so we'll have to continue to
36:43watch that very very carefully in fact as you look at this satellite picture since records have been
36:47kept rita is the third most intense hurricane ever recorded in history of the atlantic basin or the gulf
36:54you can see that little loop there to the northwest and then back down to the west as rita makes minor
36:59wobbles on its way across the gulf of mexico the other action in town of course is the drought across
37:05the southeast 78 right now at panama city airport that fire danger level is very very high well actually
37:11still at high level three and it's going to stay that way or the way it looks not a lot of rainfall in
37:15fact as we look at titan 13 radar this evening notice the showers have just about disappeared we're
37:21looking at the live level two data out of tallahassee now with the heating tomorrow and the easterly flow
37:26and some influence from the outer wind rings itself of rita we will see a chance of showers and
37:32thunderstorms again tomorrow and then another dry weekend so all eyes are on rita we'll have a look
37:38at the track for you in just a few minutes well as jerry just said hurricane rita continues on a
37:43collision course with the gulf coast of texas only three category five storms have ever hit the u.s the last
37:50one hurricane andrew in 1992 with an eye wall 70 miles across and winds possibly as high as 190
37:56miles an hour rita may be unprecedented in the annals of u.s storms jim weeders in galveston island with
38:03this report the calm waters of the gulf of mexico only hint of what's to come but the deserted streets
38:12of galveston and the words of city officials tell another story our seawall is 17 feet
38:19and we'll have waves above that 14 15 feet tonight over one million people are fleeing the gulf coast
38:28of texas and louisiana in the path of hurricane rita government officials say the response to rita
