If you’re snapping at co-workers or feeling anxious about an upcoming social event, it could be something you ate. Or didn’t eat.

How about having an editor from Natural Health on to discuss the facts that food can have a direct effect on your stress levels.

A recent study showed that people who consumed more sugar, caffeine, alcohol and candy felt more stressed, while those who ate more veggies, fruit and oil-rich fish, felt the least stressed.

It’s not just what you eat, it’s also hoe much and how often you eat!

At Natural Health, we compiled a list of our favorite tension taming foods and created stress free recipes that incorporate them.

"Easy Money" is a new program debuting this Fall on CW11. Enter to win 2 passes for the Sunday, September 14, 2008, 8pm RED CARPET SCREENING at the New World Stages Theater!

"Easy Money" premieres on CW11 on September 21, 9:00-10:00 p.m.

The cast of "Easy Money," a new one-hour drama about a family that runs a high interest loan business, includes Emmy Award-winning actress Laurie Metcalf ("Desperate Housewives," "Roseanne"), Jeff Hephner ("The O.C."), Judge Reinhold ("Swing Vote," "The Santa Clause Trilogy"), Nick Searcy ("Rodney"), Jay Ferguson ("Sleeper Cell"), Gary Farmer ("Moose TV") and Katie Lowes ("The Ghost Whisperer"). Diane Frolov and Andy Schneider ("Northern Exposure," "The Chris Isaak Show," "The Sopranos") serve as Executive Producers for the series, along with producer Brandon Hill.

In "Easy Money," 28-year-old Morgan Buffkin (Hephner) finds himself in charge of Prestige Payday Loans, his eccentric family's enormously successful short-term loan business. Any doubts Morgan has about running his family's business are quickly replaced by dealing with family business: Morgan's brother Cooper (Ferguson) insists on driving a silver-plated Hummer, his sister Brandy (Lowes) has questionable morals, he suspects that his mother (Metcalfe) and father (Searcy) are not being completely honest with him about his relation to the family, and every so often, part-time detective Barry (Reinhold) drops in. "Easy Money" follows the Buffkin Family in a modern-day Dickensian tale of money and identity.

Though it has been seven years since the terrorist attacks at the World Trade Center, memories of the tragedy are still fresh in our minds. Even more everlasting are the photographs from that fateful day, illustrating faces stricken with terror and fear.

But what of the photographers who arrived on scene to capture the unfolding disaster as others were running away from it?

Behind the Lens: Covering 9/11 is a new documentary that tells the story of four photojournalists who, along with firemen, police officers and fellow journalists, risked their lives to show the world images of a crisis.

The September 11 attacks had a devastating financial impact on New York City. Comptroller William Thompson reflects on how the city has rebounded since that day and what still needs to be done.

Seven years later, Comptroller Thompson believes that the city has bounced back to some extent. "I think that more than just recovered, we've changed. We've evoloved. If you look at Manhattan, it was a business district and really the third largest business district in the country," said Comptroller Thompson.

"But if you look, there has been a lot of residential growth in lower Manhattan over the years," said Comptroller Thompson, "It's more of a 24 hour community now as opposed to what was seven or eight years ago."

However, the city still has ways to go. According to Comptroller Thompson, completion of the World Trade Center memorial and Freedom Towers, and development of the entire ground zero area are necessary goals and benchmarks for the city, and specifically the Financial District, to truly continue to be a 24 hour community.

He prescribes more transparency on Wall Street in order to restore confidence "get the credit markets churning."

Thomas Von Essen was the fire commissioner during the terror attacks. On September 11, the Fire Department of New York lost 343 firefighters.

Post-9/11, Von Essen and the FDNY came under criticism as some said that more firefighters could have been saved if their radios were up-to-date and working. However, Von Essen stated that the radios were a problem, but not the main problem.

"You're never going to find a perfect radio for a diaster of that magnitude,"said Von Essen. "You have to work smarter. You have to work safer, slower. You have to have people in different spots and control each group as they go up."

He stated that one way to improve the fire department is to have good leadership. "It's not about thr rank-in-file. It's about the leadership. It's always been about the leadership," stated Von Essen, "The firefighters, they're made to complain, but they're going to do it. They'll do any amount of training and any preparation that you ask them for. It's up to you to make the bosses acountable."

Von Essen also believes that the FDNY is still reeling from the loss of several veteran firefighters. Their wisdom and years of experience is something that needs to be addressed while training new firefighters.

Ray Kelly was police commissioner of the New York Police Department during the first attack on the World Trade Center in 1993. He resumed this possition in 2002, a few months after the September 11 disaster.

His administration has since stepped up security in New York City to thwart any more attacks. "There's no question about it. We're safer and better prepared," said Police Commissioner Kelly.

"We live in a changed world. [...] You see the deployment in the city of our uniformed officers. We use 1,000 officers a day to protect the city in our counter terrorism efforts. We have a language capability that is unsurpassed by any other law enforcement agency around the world. We speak the sensative languages now, more so than ever before," stated Police Commissioner Kelly.

Officers are now seen in stronger numbers on the subways and on the streets. New Yorkers are encouraged to be vigilant and to call the police if they notice anything peculiar or potentially dangerous. From this the "see something, say something" tagline was born.

"We have done probably more than any other city in the world to protect ourselves," stated Police Commissioner Kelly, "But, again, there's no guarantees."

Michael Bloomberg became mayor four months after Rudolph Guiliani, who was mayor during 9/11. With the cooperation of the NYPD, Mayor Bloomberg has been able to take steps to make New York City safer for its residents.

"What we have to do is make sure that we rebuild and that we dont forget the lessons that left us vulnerable and that gave people reasosn to attack us," stated Mayor Bloomberg, "New York City continues to increase the amount of money it spends on preventing terrorism and being able to respond if, God forbid, something happen."

Mayor Bloomberg warns though we need to be protective of our nation, we should not discourage others from immigrating to the United States. "We got to make sure that this country doesn't close its borders. We need to open our borders. It was that xenophobia that really caused this," stated the mayor.

"We need more foreign languages speakers here so we can understand intelligence. We need more foreign people coming here and joining our culture so that we can be less threatening to others and more accepting," Mayor Bloomberg continued.

Of the construction of the Freedom Tower, Mayor Bloomberg said that the process has been "frustratingly slow." "The problem is not incompetence or selfishness or anything. It's just bureaucratic red tape." The mayor cites the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation as an unnecessary layer of bureaucratic red tape.

[...] All of us still remember one person at a time and we rememeber what it took out of our communities."

Corzine noted that it was only eight years before the 9/11 attacks, in 1993 that the World Trade Center was first attacked my terrorists. Ports and cargo containers need to more secure.

"We need to stay vigilant [...] even if there is not a specific threat at a given moment of time because it is when we back away that we create openings for those that would harm the public," said Governor Corzine.

From Staten Island to Queens and everything in between, the Big Apple offers up perfect picture views. And one of the best ways to take them in is by boat.

The Circle Line has been operating tours since the 1940s. Its fleet consists of retired military ships and some are more than 60 years old.

Circle Line Sightseeing Cruises is introducing the first-ever brand new vessel into its fleet--the Circle Line Manhattan. This vessel is a first for the Circle Line family as it was built new and its purpose is solely for sightseeing. For tourists, that means bigger windows, improved consession stands and lots of extra space. There will be a formal ceremony this afternoon with guest Whoppi Goldberg.

The CW11's Kristina Behr went onboard and is treated to an exclusive tour of the new ship. Then, she took a ride on another boat, the Beast, which is celebrating 10 years of tours in New York Harbor.

Actress and singer Mary Costa is the original voice of Princess Aurora in Walt Disney's animated film Sleeping Beauty. She's here to talk about the two-disc 50th Anniversary Platinum Edition DVD and Blu-Ray release of the newly remastered film, which hits stores next Tuesday, October 7.

Sleeping Beauty turned French author Charles Perrault's 1697 fairy tale into a classic story. The Disney film follows the story of Princess Aurora, who is cursed by the witch Maleficent, who is resentful for not being invited to the princess' christening. With the help of her Three Good Fairies, Princess Aurora's curse is weakened: rather than dying, she will fall into a deep sleep if she touches a spinning wheel and will only be awoken by true love's kiss.

During a trip into the woods, she falls in love with a young man who is riding his horse. However, she realizes that she must return to the palace and never learns his name. On her way back, Maleficent tricks the princess into touching a spinning wheel and she falls asleep. Maleficent knows that Prince Phillip, the young man in the forest, is Princess Aurora's true love, and captures him. However, the Three Good Fairies free him and he, in turn, is able to wake the princess with his kiss.
