Anna Sale here on the day shift.

First, in case you missed it, be sure to listen to these remembrances from veterans and active duty service members on this Memorial Day. It's a nice reminder about the meaning behind this holiday.

We woke up to news this morning of violence in the Middle East. At least ten activists were killed in an Israeli raid on a supply fleet traveling from Turkey to Gaza, in violation of Israel's blockade of the region. Then came news that Israeli Prime Minster Benjamin Netanyahu canceled plans to meet with President Obama in Washington. We are following reaction in Israel, Gaza, and around the Middle East, and tomorrow, we will look more broadly at how this affects the United States' relationship with Israel.

We also continue to watch the news out of the gulf. We're beginning another week and getting ready for yet another try to stop the gushing oil. We're reaching back to some of the gulf residents we talked to weeks ago to see how they are absorbing these last few days of discouraging news. We're also following up on the reporting from over the weekend that BP noted potential problems with the Deepwater Horizon rig much earlier than was clear at Congressional hearings last week.

Finally, each and every day, we Takeaway producers prep the show under the flashing glare of cable news screens. There's six in my desk's immediate vicinity alone. The constant stream of tickers and images makes it hard to really fathom that thirty years ago, 24-hour cable news was a completely new proposition. On June 1, 1980, CNN hit the airwaves, and journalism has not been same since. But what might CNN look like in the next 30 years? That looks to be up for grabs. We talk with journalist Daniel Schorr about CNN's legacy. He was one of the first reporters Ted Turner hired to launch this news experiment.  

And speaking of working away under these screens, I'm getting hungry. It just might be time for lunch ... which too often for me, means scarfing up salad from a bowl beside my keyboard. Am I alone in that? That's what we're talking about tomorrow in our weekly conversation about work: Do you feel like it's possible to take a lunch break any more? In many states, it's against the law for your employer to deny you a lunch break, but lunch breaks seem to be getting rarer all the time.
