A major announcement from a man who can influence the market with a single syllable, Apple founder Steve Jobs says he's going on medical leave. Senior correspondent, medical correspondent Elizabeth Cohen is in Atlanta this morning, looking into this one. So, Elizabeth, /originally he described the weight loss, the marked weight loss that you could really see is a hormone imbalance. Now he says that actually there could be more to it than that. What else is going on with him?
Well, he still uses that term "hormone imbalance". What he's saying now is that it's gotten bad enough that he is taking a medical leave. He said he wants people to focus on Apple's products not on his health. We ran this by several experts care. We said what could cause a hormone imbalance. And really, there are many different things. Let's take a look at three of them. Cancer can cause a hormone imbalance, as can diabetes, as can liver problems, and can problems with the gastrointestinal system. What we do know is that Steve Jobs has become thinner over the years. Take a look at these two photos. One of them is from 2005 and the other is from 2008. The 2005 one is to the right, the 2008 one is to the left. And you can see in his face that he has lost weight. And let me read a little excerpt from an e-mail that he sent to Apple employees. He wrote "my health-related issues are more complex than I originally thought", and he said that's why he is taking a leave of absence till the end of June, Kiran.
He also had pancreatic cancer a few years ago, right? And pancreatic cancer can be deadly, I mean, for many people. Is this a reoccurrence or complication based on that?
You know, he's not said that the pancreatic cancer has come back. He had pancreatic cancer in 2003, but there is no question that pancreatic cancer, like other cancers, can throw your hormones off balance.
And the survival rate, the five-year survival rate for pancreatic cancer is 20 percent. That’s, that’s doesn’t look, That doesn't sound like very good odds.
It is particularly low, I mean, he, it is a very, it is a tough cancer. There is no question, but he has survived. He had it in 2003, we’re now in 2009. So he has, he has done better than most people, there is no question.

中东能和平，布莱尔头发能变黑
布莱尔主持了中东论坛，其中有很多精彩内容：
一、中东问题之所以处理不好是因为政治家在处理。
这句话是巴勒斯坦通讯公司(Paltel)副董事长兼首席执行官 Al Jaber说的。他说刚刚结束的巴以冲突几天后，他看望了一位在冲突中受伤的十岁的小男孩，他问题今后做什么，小男朋友说要做工程师。Al Jaber感动无比，因为这小男朋友没有了胳膊和腿还有这样的期待，而且言谈中没有一点要报仇的情绪。
二、布莱尔说：如果巴以两国真的能设定一个不冲突的准则，他的头发可以由白变成棕色。
这句话起因是伊朗外交部长Manouchehr Mottaki说中东问题是一个很难治的长期的病，六十年来，曾有一百多个机构，非政府的和政府的都有，都在解决中东问题，他说你布莱尔从在任十年一直到现在，你是中东特特派员，你的头发都白了这么多，中东问题依然没有解决，看来这是一个顽症。布莱尔说其实我的头发还有许多没有白，接着他说了上述话。
