Today in the CNN NewsRoom we did a story on a Maine state lawmaker calling for cell phones sold in the United States to come with warning labels that they could possibly cause brain cancer.

There is no consensus among scientists that cell phones do cause cancer.

The cell phone industry disputes any cancer claims.

It's not every day you get to talk to a (former) drug smuggler at length. So we were pretty intrigued when our booker Karen landed Brian O'Dea.

Brian was arrested in 1990, and convicted of importing 75 TONS of marijuana into the United States. He got 10 years for it.

He's now an author and film/tv producer, who tries to help young people caught up in addictions.

A laid-off pro football marketer and a recent college grad who literally hit the streets looking for work are our most recent 30 Second Pitches.

Here's his pitch:

Cafeteria food: longtime bane of students, and now, something -else- for parents to worry about.

Kyra talked to two USA Today reporters who investigated the lunch meat being served in U.S. schools.

I know, I know: this BackStory segment is from Friday.

Let's just say I posted it late on purpose, to tie into the whole "waiting" theme. (Yeah... that's the ticket!)

To start our second hour today, we looked at a report by The Center for Public Integrity on how colleges handle... or DON'T handle... rape cases.

If you'd like to check out CPI's coverage, here are the first and second articles in their series.
