This Morning from CBS News: Sept. 17, 2014
Out again
After a day of public pressure from angry fans and concerned sponsors, the Minnesota Vikings have reversed course and banned star running back Adrian Peterson from all team activities while he addresses child abuse charges in Texas. He reacted to the ban at 2:30 a.m. ET today, tweeting, "The pressure may be tough, but you will make it through." The head of the NFL Players Association told CBS News' James Brown that pro football is no longer just about a player's performance on the field.
Tough enough?
According to a new CBS News/New York Times poll, 57 percent of Americans don't think President Obama is being tough enough in dealing with ISIS militants, while just 31 percent think his approach is about right. Republicans are particularly critical of Mr. Obama on this score: 83 percent of Republicans don't think he is being tough enough.

Uber vets
Although national unemployment numbers for vets have improved lately, the rate for returning service members under the age of 25 is still higher than 20 percent - three times the national average. CBS News Correspondent Anna Werner reports the Uber car service hopes to change that with a new initiative, and it's enlisting top military brass to get the word out.
Benghazi committee
In a show of bipartisanship, today's hearing of the special select committee probing the attack on the U.S. compound in Benghazi, Libya is slated to take a more forward-looking approach. Rather than focusing on who's to blame for the assault, which left four Americans dead, the panel will examine the implementation of recommendations for improving diplomatic security offered up by the independent body that investigated the attack.
Final frontier
With NASA's announcement that Boeing and Space X will launch crews from U.S. soil to the International Space Station orbiting Earth, CBS News Correspondent Ben Tracy traveled 65 miles out to sea to get a look at what NASA hopes will one day take crews to deep space, NASA's Orion spacecraft.

Splitting ale
In the lead-up to tomorrow's high-stakes referendum in Scotland, everything is political -- even drinking. At the Twa Dugs pub, you can order a "Yes" beer if you're for independence, or a "No" beer if you're against it. It's pub owner Bob Shields' private opinion poll. At the bar, the yes vote is ahead. But, CBS News Correspondent Mark Phillips reports, across Scotland, polls show the vote is too close to call.
