Cult video hits primetime

Posted: 04:04 PM ET

Van and Casey Neistat make home movies using handheld cameras like a lot of us. And like most of us, they document what goes on in their lives. But the big difference, they developed a solid, underground following and then they parlayed it into an HBO series.

BROWN: Casey, welcome to you.

CASEY NEISTAT, FILMMAKER: Good to be here.

BROWN: So tell me about the show, how you define it. Is it reality TV? Is it a documentary style? How do you describe it?

NEISTAT: We get asked that a lot. That's everyone's first question. The words we use, we kind of invented this way. You know, it's like it's first person filmmaking.

Oil "Integrity Well Testing" After 24 Hours

By Katherine Lieb, Campbell Brown Show

(CNN) For the first time in nearly three months, there is no more oil flowing into the Gulf. BP Senior Vice President Kent Wells says that the cutoff of oil is key in the “integrity well testing”, which is designed to test the pressure within the oil well.

He says that the pressure inside the well is steadily rising as predicted by their modeling. Wells also said there are two ROVs checking the sea floor around the well and they have not detected a breach yet. However, BP and government officials are being cautiously optimistic about these developments.

Admiral Thad Allen said the pressure is not at an optimal level. Currently the pressure on the cap is about 6,700 pounds per square inch, not the 7,500 pounds plus that would show “high integrity, low potential for a leak.” Government scientists say the less than optimal level could indicate a leak or could be because so much oil has already leaked into the Gulf.

Every six hours, the oil well is checked and subjected to major scrutiny to make sure it is holding up. The test could end after one of the six-hour periods if the results are disappointing, but it could also last up to 48 hours.

BP says the cutoff will likely end after those 48 hours, when valves will be reopened to siphon oil onto ships again. Two more ships will be joining the two already there to bring containment to up to 80,000 barrels a day.

Two relief wells are expected to be completed in August.

State employees behind illegal immigrant list?

By Kim Kirschenbaum, Campbell Brown Intern

(CNN) Utah officials have identified at least two state employees who are believed to be involved in creating a public listing of some 1,300 purported illegal immigrants.

Two employees of Utah’s Department of Workforce Services (DWS) have been placed on administrative leave pending completion of the full investigation. The workers could face fines, termination and/or criminal charges.

Following the document’s release, Governor Gary R. Herbert directed all state agencies to conduct an internal review. The DWS quickly drew attention in light of its database, containing data for Medicaid, food stamp programs and unemployment benefits. That type of information was discovered on the list.

“When someone does business with the state of Utah, they deserve to know that their private information will be kept private,” Herbert said Friday.

The investigation comes on the heels of the 29-page list’s release on Tuesday by a group calling itself Concerned Citizens of the United States, which sent the list to several media outlets, government agencies, and lawmakers. The list contained highly personal information, including Social Security numbers, addresses, phone numbers and even the due dates of expectant mothers. An accompanying memo urged publication of the list and immediate deportation of those mentioned. Citing privacy concerns, all media outlets opted to withhold the names.

Herbert urged Utah lawmakers - some of whom recently began discussing a new immigration law mirroring one recently approved in Arizona - not to harp on the issue to further their political agendas.

“This is a serious public policy matter that should be discussed in a rational and reasonable manner,” Herbert said. “This ‘list’ is not something that should be used for political gain, which is something we have seen over the past week. I encourage everyone, no matter their views on immigration, to approach this with respect for all people and points of view.”
