From this city's one day of horror - out of all the loss and sorrow - has come a strength, I've seen it all across America, a resolve, a determination, which from Manhattan to Mississippi, now binds us together for the mighty work that lies ahead.
11. SOUNDBITE: (English) Richard Gephardt, US House Minority Leader (Democrat-Missouri):

STORYLINE:
The US Congress honored the human loss and heroism of the September 11 attacks in a rare and somber special session convened Friday in the city hit the hardest.
More than 300 House and Senate members came to Federal Hall, the massive marble-columned building on the site where Congress first met more than two centuries ago - and located only a few blocks from where the World Trade Centre once punctuated the city's skyline.
The last time Congress met in New York was 212 years ago, when lawmakers watched as George Washington was inaugurated as the nation's first president.
Friday's special session marked only the second occasion in modern times when Congress has met outside Washington.
The purpose was unmistakable: to show solidarity with the city that lost more than 2,800 people in the attacks.
Vice President Dick Cheney joined House Speaker Dennis Hastert in presiding over the session, with a huge American flag behind them.
Although largely symbolic, many lawmakers said the trip was a necessary statement of support for the city and its people as the 9-11 anniversary approaches.
It was also a moment to pledge the nation's resolve in the war against terrorism.
Cheney said the Revolutionary War was still a fresh memory when that first Congress met more than 200 years ago in New York.
On Friday, he said the nation must rise to defend the principles laid down by those founding fathers.

Vistas and Dreams 1: Welcome and Introduction
Vistas and Dreams: Celebrating the 100th Anniversary of the Founding of the Museum of the American Indian is a special symposium that marks the 100th anniversary of the founding of the National Museum of the American Indian’s predecessor institution, the Museum of the American Indian (MAI), by George Gustav Heye (1874–1957). In this segment, Kevin Gover, Director, National Museum of the American Indian welcomes the audience and speakers to the event and Frederick E. Hoxie, the symposium moderator from the University of Illinois, provides an introduction.
KEVIN GOVER (Pawnee) is the director of the Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian and a former professor of law at the Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law at Arizona State University (ASU). He served on the faculty of the university’s Indian Legal Program and was co-executive director of ASU’s American Indian Policy Institute. Before joining the university faculty, Gover served as assistant secretary for Indian Affairs in the U.S. Department of the Interior from 1997 to 2000. A presidential appointee, he was responsible for policy and operational oversight of the Bureau of Indian Affairs, where he oversaw programs in Indian education, law enforcement, social services, treaty rights, and trust asset management.
FREDERICK E. HOXIE (symposium moderator) is Swanlund Professor of History and American Indian Studies at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. An elected member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, he has served as a consultant both to Indian tribes and government agencies, and his current research focuses on American Indian and indigenous political activism in the United States and beyond. His publications include Parading Through History: The Making of the Crow Nation in America, 1805-1935 (1995); Talking Back to Civilization: Indian Voices from the Progressive Era (2001); The People: A History of Native America (2007), with David Edmunds and Neal Salisbury; Lewis and Clark and the Indian Country (2007), with Jay Nelson; and This Indian Country: American Indian Political Activists and the Place They Made (2012), which won the Western History Association’s Caughey Prize. Hoxie is a founding trustee of the National Museum of the American Indian.
The symposium was recorded at the National Museum of the American Indian George Gustav Heye Center in the Alexander Hamilton U. S. Custom House in New York City on September 17, 2016.

More info via Wikipedia:
Homelessness in the United States of America is an area of concern for social service providers, government officials, policy professionals, and society at large. Although the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development in January 2012 annual point-in-time count found that 633,782 people across the United States were homeless, other counts vary widely. In a recent approximation, an estimated 1.6 million unduplicated persons used transitional housing or emergency shelters. Of these people, approximately 1/3 are members of households with children, a nine percent increase since 2007. Another approximation is from a study done by the National Law Center on Homelessness and Poverty, which states that approximately 3.5 million people, 1.35 million of them children, are likely to experience homelessness in a given year (National Law Center on Homelessness and Poverty, 2007). With 2007 as a benchmark, the data from the report showed a 6.8 percent decline in homelessness among individuals, a 3.7 percent decline of homeless families, a 13.1 percent decline of the unsheltered homeless population, and a 19.3 percent decline in persons experiencing chronic homelessness. Determining even an approximate count of homeless people is quite difficult, even more so when it comes to those that are under the age of 21. Adolescents, teens, and runaways seem to fall through the crack; so many go unaccounted for. Many of the youth living on the streets do not want to be counted for various reasons. Therefore, agencies that do count, use different methods and techniques that make an accurate count that much more difficult.
One out of 50 children or 1.5 million children in America will be homeless each year. In 2013 that number jumped to one out of 30 children, or 2.5 million. There were an estimated 57,849 homeless veterans estimated in the United States during January 2013; or 12 percent of all homeless adults. Just under 8 percent of homeless U.S. veterans are female. Texas, California and Florida have the highest numbers of unaccompanied homeless youth under the age of 18; comprising 58% of the total homeless under 18 youth population.
Because of turnover in the homeless population, the total number of people who experience homelessness for at least a few nights during the course of a year is thought to be considerably higher than point-in-time counts. A 2000 study estimated the number of such people to be between 2.3 million and 3.5 million. According to Amnesty International USA, vacant houses outnumber homeless people by five times.
Sports Museum of America Opens in New York City
The Sports Museum of America (SmA) opened May 7, 2008 as the United States' first national sports museum dedicated to the history and cultural significance of sports in America.

The museum contributes to the revitalization of the area following the events of September 11, as it's situated footsteps from the Statue of Liberty Ferry, near Wall Street and the former site of the World Trade Center.

AM New York | On The Pulse
AM New York, Manhattan's largest daily newspaper, hired Indigo to create a unique promo video about their hip, upscale, and in-demand publication.
Indigo shot for ten days all over New York City, documenting scores of amazing recommendations pulled directly from their pages. Our marathon production included stops in all 5 boroughs, a Beyonce concert, time lapse photography of a dramatic NYC sunrise, and location shoots for twenty other amazing things.
The hardest part about the post production was deciding what to leave out. After a really fun edit, some custom-designed motion graphics, and an infectiously-groovy pop track, the video eventually took on a life of its own.
It premiered in front of a packed house on the Yankee Stadium Jumbotron, and played for several additional months on numerous video billboards all over New York City, including Times Square Billboards and inside Madison Square Garden.

TOP 10 DON’TS WHEN CROSSING THE US AND CANADA BORDER
416-962-2623 / 1-866-760-2623
immigroup.com
TOP 10 DON’TS WHEN CROSSING THE US AND CANADA BORDER
1. SHUT UP! PART 1.DON’T TRY TO BE FUNNY.
Border guards are not your friends, and it’s highly unlikely that they moonlight as talent scouts for comedy clubs. This is the wrong moment to make a buddy or tell jokes. Stay respectful and succinct and save the complaints for the drive away from the checkpoint.
2. SHUT UP! PART 2. DON’T DISCLOSE MORE THAN YOU’RE ASKED.
Answer all of the guard’s questions, but avoid getting chatty about your plans if you don’t have to. Thinking of catching up on some work on your laptop a little during your vacation, for example? Don’t mention that. There is no such thing as an American working holiday visa, although there are plenty of options for working holidays in Canada, or for Canadians travelling to other parts of the world. If you’re going to the U.S, however, best to say that your laptop is just for fantasy sports and YouTube. Planning a trip to propose to your girlfriend? Congratulations. But...
3. EVEN YOUR SEX LIFE MATTERS.DON’T MENTION THAT YOU’RE PLANNING TO MARRY A CITIZEN OR RESIDENT OF ANOTHER COUNTRY WHEN YOU’RE ENTERING IT.
Even if you’re in the middle of the appropriate application process, talking about your romantic attachments will not warm the hearts of the border guards and it will get you flagged as a potential risk for illegal immigration. This goes for crossing the US and Canadian border in either direction. Say that you’re visiting “a friend” and save the flaunting of your ring for the day when you’re married or your citizenship and residency information is fully settled.
4. DEVELOP A “CREATIVE VOCABULARY.”DON’T BE IN A RUSH TO EXPLAIN EVERY DETAIL ABOUT THE GOODS YOU’RE BRINGING WITH YOU, BUT KNOW THE RISKS OF INCOMPLETE DISCLOSURE
It can be mighty tempting to try to bring a few extra items back from your trip without declaring them. You can push the limits of the personal exemption (see above for the exact amounts), or you can declare the extras and pay the duties. If you’re pushing it, try to describe dollar values using words like “approximately,” “about,” or “around” if you’re just above the personal exemption limits. Remove the tags, and ditch the shopping bags and receipts. If you are searched and the agents find something that you haven’t declared, it’s most likely that you’ll be delayed and that you’ll have to pay the duty. Hey, people forget the things they buy all the time, right? Mistakes can happen. If you push it too far, however, and you get caught making a false declaration crossing to Canada, you might also have your goods seized or you might have to pay a penalty that’s an extra 25-80% of the goods’ value. The worst case scenario is that you’ll lose the goods permanently and have your vehicle impounded. You’ll also almost certainly find yourself subject to more intense scrutiny at future crossings. Getting caught with small amounts over the limit shouldn’t have lasting repercussions, unless you’re busted repeatedly. Now you know the risks. Govern yourself accordingly. Bonus tip: Never try to conceal anything you just bought at the duty-free shop. They take your name and license plate number and their database is coordinated with the border guards on each side, so lying in this case makes for a guaranteed delay. Don’t do it.
5. A CRIMINAL MIND, IT’S ALL I’VE EVER KNOWN.DON’T LIE ABOUT YOUR CRIMINAL PAST.
If you have run into legal trouble, check to see if it’s serious enough to prevent you from travelling. Each country has its own regulations on this, and most countries reserve the right to deny anyone the right to entry for any reason. If you are denied entry crossing from Canada to US, consider applying for a US Entry Waiver. If you are worried you can’t enter Canada from the US, consider getting a temporary resident permit. The process rules and process for both the US Entry Waiver and the TRP can be complicated and difficult, so you can always seek help.
