I am Catherine Callaway at the CNN center in Atlanta with a look at what's happening NOW IN THE NEWS.

President Obama holds a national discussion this afternoon to sell you on the health care makeover. He is heading out to Virginia for a town-hall meeting and he will take your questions via Facebook and Twitter. Americans overwhelmingly want health care reform but just a small majority support the president's plan, at least that's the finding of a latest CNN opinion research Cooperation Poll. 95% of those polled favor either a great deal of reform or just some reform. 51% said they are behind the President's plan and 45 percent oppose it.

New developments in the Michael Jackson investigation¹. Lawyers for the superstar could file his will in a California court today. There is a flurry of activities in Jackson's Neverland Ranch² for an expected public viewing of his body on Friday. A law enforcement official tells CNN that it is planned for Friday. A 30-car motorcade is expected to carry Jackson to the ranch tomorrow and his family will hold a private ceremony on Sunday.

It s been 8 months since November election and now comedian³ turned politician Al Franken gets the final hold of the victory rally today. We know, now know that he will be Minnesota's new senator. Yesterday, the state's highest court settled the last of the illegal disputes and incumbent⁴ Norm Coleman conceded. Franken is expected to be sworn in next week and that would give democrats⁵ a filibuster⁶ proof majority in the Senate.

Might wanna take a look, a second look now at those Hamburgers you are supposed to be grilling⁷ this weekend because Kroger recalled some of its ground beef because of possible e-coli contamination. It was sold under its grocery store brand name. The beef came from the Colorado Company that expanded its recall this week.

Just like it does every time this year, the government is warning you about the dangers of fireworks. The good news, fireworks-related injuries and deaths were actually down last year. The Consumer Product Safety Commission says its No.1 warning though is that children should never play with any type of firework.

Those are the headlines for you. Stay with CNN for more on these stories and other news of the day.
