The endless reminders
There were endless reminders of the fact that my parents were leaders of Marriage Encounter, daily rituals that were absent in my friend's homes. These included an hour spent "dialoging" each night, my parents demanding "quiet time" to write updated letters to each other in their journals. (Think Facebook circa 1982.)
There were also the evening "one-ringers" that I despised, when the phone in our kitchen would ring once, I would get up to answer it, only to be hung up on. My parents finally admitted that "one-ringers" were an M.E. thing — another member would call and ring once to signal that they were thinking of you. One night I answered it and it was Frank; "I'm just calling to say I love you!" he said. I hung up on him.
By age twelve, I had tried everything I possibly could to sabotage my parents' participation in Marriage Encounter. I threatened to run away. I pretended to be vomiting in the bathroom the mornings of charismatic Mass. Perhaps the most desperate among these attempts, however, was the night that the police came to our house during one of the weekly meetings. I had called them anonymously from the rotary phone in the basement. I pretended to be a neighbor complaining of the "noise level" coming from our house, which was nothing more than five or six married couples singing and praying. They never knew it was me who had ratted them out.
Years after these episodes of adolescent sabotage I look back and wonder why I acted that way. What was it about my parents and their public displays of both religion and affection that mortified me? Sophocles once said, "The weight of the world is love." As an adolescent, Marriage Encounter was indeed the weight of my small world, the proverbial cross I had to bear, and it was heavy. How could I have known it meant much more? In college, I would listen to the words of Neil Young who put it this way: "Only love can break your heart." Somewhere between Sophocles and Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young I finally learned two things: 1) That love could be a burden; and 2) It was supposed to be.
Lasting friendships
Though my parents retired from Marriage Encounter when I was in high school, the friendships born from that time remained. Twenty years later, I would see the faces of the Marriage Encounter couples again. I was now an adult, standing next to my father and three brothers. In a surreal moment, I looked around the room and saw the same sea of faces from the meetings in our living room over twenty years earlier. They were aged and somber, as they stood in line at my mother's wake. One by one, they embraced my brothers and me.
Frank the "prank caller" was now in his early eighties; I hadn't seen him in over twenty years, yet the first thing he said was, "I love you." Nancy and Henry had been at the hospital the morning my Mom died. I remembered Ray and the belt buckle he was so proud of, the one I relentlessly made fun of; he wouldn't be there as a few years before he also had died of cancer. I thought of Father Al, who insisted on coming to my college graduation party in the mid 1990's, even though by then he could no longer walk. I missed the robust man in my memory that occupied so much of my parent's time, who was usually loud at the dinner table, and who often embarrassed me in front of my friends. He had become frail and quiet. Watching my dad carry Father Al's wheelchair up the stairs, I felt humbled and small. The only words I could think of were, "The weight of the world is love."
I realized how little I knew then about love, and that whatever I did know about it now, I had learned from these people from the past who still occupied my mind and heart no matter how hard I had tried to forget them. I longed to go back to days past, to a time when my biggest problem in life was that my parents loved each other and God and went public with it.
I no longer lament the "normal childhood" that was not meant to be mine. Back then, I took for granted that I grew up surrounded by a community of people who believed in marriage, despite its inherent hardship, and in celebrating lives that were built on faith, love and loyalty. A common biblical phrase from years of overhearing the Marriage Encounter meetings still echoes in my mind: "Love one another as I have loved you." It took me twenty-five years to realize that the thing about the couples in Marriage Encounter was that they truly meant it.

Spreading the MTA Pain More in Some Places than Others
New York, NY —
Today's the deadline for a new payroll tax that the region's employers will have to pay. It's the final piece of the rescue plan for the MTA that the state legislature approved in May. WNYC's Matthew Schuerman has more.
REPORTER: Richard Ravitch, who's now lieutenant governor, proposed the payroll tax last year as part of a wide-ranging package intended to spread out the pain among all beneficiaries of mass transit. But a WNYC analysis shows the final plan has shifted the burden.
Employers in the 12-county MTA service area are pitching in the most: an average of $238 for each of their workers annually. Those who commute to work by subway, bus or cab, will pay about $100 a year, thanks to the fare increases and the new 50-cent taxi surcharge. Car owners by contrast, must fork over just $27 a year more in higher fees.
A spokesman for state Senator Carl Kruger said the alternative was much more unfair: Ravitch's plan would've cost drivers more than $2,000 annually in new East River Bridge Tolls. For WNYC, I'm Matthew Schuerman.

Free excursions are a lesson in the free market
Corporations looking for new customers and schools looking for fun field trips are finding each other via the Field Trip Factory.
"This is a way to rebuild connections and to empower kids to be a part of their community," says Susan Singer. Singer is president of Field Trip Factory, the Chicago-based company that creates the field trips.
It's not without controversy. Companies get a boost in their marketing, which some some object to along with the whole concept of commercializing children's field trips and marketing stores to children within a curriculum. But those who have done it say children get a great field trip with important lessons on such things as eating well and safe food handling.
"Be a Smart Shopper" takes kids into Dominick's grocery stores to teach them about nutrition—at no cost to the schools.
"It's all about helping our children be healthy, well-adjusted adults. And eating healthy is a big part of that," Singer says. Kids learn how to read nutrition labels, safely handle meat, compare ingredients and calculate the cost of dinner. They sample new and unusual fruits and vegetables in the produce department and pet live lobsters in the meat department.
Deb Weber, a second-grade teacher at Galloway School in Channahon, took her class to Dominick's in November as part of her nutrition unit. "It was close, it was convenient, it was safe, it was educational," she says.
Afterwards, teachers say students' eating habits change. The company monitored the sales of healthy products at the grocery store and found sales increased 12 to 18 percent after their field trips. Teachers report seeing students actively making healthier choices in the classroom.
"It definitely had an impact," says Mee Soohoo, a teacher at Haines Elementary in Chicago who has taken her first-graders on four of the field trips. At lunch, kids began choosing fresh fruit over canned, wheat bread over white.
Others see the program as exploitive.
"It's a slippery slope," says Susan Linn, a psychologist and founder of Stop Commercial Exploitation of Children Coalition in Boston. "I think that schools are so desperate for funding and especially for field trips, which are so educational and memorable. It seems unfair for corporations to exploit that need." Children become "walking billboards," Linn says.
Singer sees it differently. "The kids aren't being marketed to, they're learning about eating healthy and exercising. These retailers and companies don't need to do that. They could spend their money running ads on television."
Field Trip Factory has been doing educational field trips for more than a decade. "Be a Smart Shopper" is in its sixth year with more than 6,000 field trips to 119 Chicago area Dominick's stores. Other store trips include PetCo, where kids learn about animals, and the Sports Authority, where they discuss fitness. For information, call (800) 987-6409 or visit www.fieldtripfactory.com.

"The origin of modern diplomacy was in
the relations between cities. Today, cities are
our conduits for world trade, our main
communicators of culture, and a proven
training ground for future world leadership.
The Sister City programs helps provide a means
by which all of these important assets can be
made more meaningful.
Q.What is a Sister City?
A.Formally, when a community of any size decides to join with a community in another nation to learn more about one another, and to develop friendly meaningful exchanges, the two communities propose a formal affiliation leading to official designation as "Sister Cities".
Q.How does a city become an official Sister City?
A.A Sister City, county, municipality, oblast, prefecture, province, region, state, territory, town, or village relationship becomes official with the signing of a formal agreement by the top elected officials of the two jurisdictions – usually the Mayor or City Council. This is typically done during an official 3-5 day ceremony in one of the communities (usually at City Hall), following approval by the local city councils (county commissions or state legislatures), as appropriate. In Denver, it's directly through the City and Mayor's office. Therefore, a Sister City relationship is a broad-based, officially approved, long-term partnership between two communities.
Q.Is a Sister City the same thing as a Twin City?
A.Yes, there are various terms are used to describe a long-term partnership between two communities: sister cities (United States, Mexico), twin cities (Russia, United Kingdom), friendship cities (as with relations between Japanese and Chinese cities), partnerstadt (Germany), and jumelage (France). However, all denote the same concept of partnered communities, or "Sister Cities."
Q.How many Sister City relationships are there in the US?
A.According to statistics from Sister Cities International, there are 694 different US cities who currently have active Sister City programs – which, in turn, represent 1,992 partnerships around the world. In Denver, we truly are proud to be part of a global network.
Q.What makes a successful Sister Cities program?
A.Many factors, but commitment, creativity, cooperation, and communication are at the heart of all successful Sister City programs. It takes solid support and involvement from all sectors of society, including city hall and grassroots citizens groups. All Sister City programs should likewise promote the inclusion of ethnic and racial minorities, people with disabilities, youth, women, and people of varied socio-economic backgrounds.
Q.When is Denver getting their 11th Sister City … and so on?
A.Ten cities is a nice even number – we're content with what we have! In all seriousness, we're continuously looking for Sister City partners that would be a good cultural, economic and social fit for the people and City of Denver. There's no immediate plans to add another Sister City, but we're keeping our eyes and ears open.
Q.If a city abroad is interesting in forming a new Sister City relationship with the City of Denver, how do they "apply?"
A.The Sister City selection process is very strategic and competitive. Denver Sister Cities' Board determines the potential for a successful linkage between Denver and an applicant city from around the world. This decision is based on the following: municipal compatibility, existence of a core group of committed individuals to develop and maintain the relationship in Denver (applicant sponsor group) and the applicant city, and documentation that communicates potential for successful facilitation of cultural, civic, educational, technical, economic and business initiatives that are of mutual benefit. Cities interested in fostering a Sister City relationship with Denver may contact us for more information.
Q.Are there Sister City programs in other Colorado towns?
A.Yes, while Denver has the largest Sister City program in the Rocky Mountain region, the state of Colorado is fortunate to have many other Sister City relationships, including those in: Arvada (Kyzylorda, Kazakhstan; Mechelen Belgium), Aspen (Chamonix, France; Davos, Switzerland, Garmisch, Germany; Queenstown, New Zealand; San Carlos de Bariloche, Argentina; Shimukaapu, Japan), Aurora (Seongnam, South Korea; Zielona, Poland), Boulder (Dushanbe, Tajikistan; Jalapa, Nicaragua; Lhasa, Tibet; Ciudad, Mexico; Yamagata, Japan; Yateras, Cuba), Brighton (Ziebec, Poland), Broomfield (Ueda, Japan), Canon City (Kahoku, Japan), Colorado Springs (Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan; Fujiyoshida, Japan; Kaohsiung, Taiwan; Nuevo Casas Grandes, Mexico; Smolensk, Ukraine), Ft. Collins (Alcalá de Henares, Spain), Lakewood (Chester, UK; Portsmouth, UK; Stade, Germany; Sutherland, Australia), Longmont, (Chino, Japan; Ciudad Guzmán, Mexico) Pueblo (Bergamo, Italy; Chihuahua, Meico; Lucca Sicula, Italy; Maribor, Slovenia; Puebla, Mexico; Weifang, China) and Vail (St. Moritz, Switzerland). There is an annual regional conference for all Colorado Sister City Executive Committees to share best practices.
Q.Do the Denver Mayors personally visit the Sister Cities?
A.Yes, while hometown obligations make foreign travel challenging, each Mayor has been to at least one of Denver's Sister Cities. In fact, Mayor Wellington Webb has visited five of the ten cities. It actually seems that at least once a year a City delegation will go abroad, or will come to Denver. Often times the visits will coincide with business opportunities, cultural milestones, Sister City anniversary celebrations, humanitarian needs, and so forth. In the Mile High City, we are always thrilled to host our Sister City neighbors.
Q.This sounds like an amazing organization. Why haven't I heard about you before?
A.We like to joke we're one of Denver's best kept secrets …. but the truth is we're just finding our outdoor voice. As one of City's oldest non-profits, we have a charitable heritage and tens of thousands of members on our side. We've grown solely as a volunteer-run organization, and to this day, it's people at the core to drive us forward. With a renewed brand and communications strategy, we're hoping that the word gets out. Do tell all your friends.

SALTSBURG: Musical planned; French students take field trip
SALTSBURG — The spring musical, archery club, French field trip and Zumba classes round out the latest events at Saltsburg High School.
This year's musical, "High School Musical," is about two teenagers who meet through an act of fate. Gabriella Montez, the science wiz, and Troy Bolton, the all-star basketball player, find themselves in a love connection. The catch is, can Troy be willing to show his fellow basketball players he can sing, or will he forget about the musical and keep his "head in the game" for the upcoming championship game?
Find out April 10-12 in the Saltsburg High School auditorium.
[Read the full roundup of area high school news from the Gazette's network of student news reporters on Fridays in The Indiana Gazette and in the Student News section on The Indiana Gazette Online.]
A new club has created excitement at the high school. The archery club is run by Linsey Palazzi. The signup sheet for grades six through 12 had an overwhelming 50 signatures. They hope to compete in the National Archery Competition next year. The club received a grant from The Pennsylvania Game Commission for $3,000 to help supply proper equipment. They also want to develop an archery team to allow students an opportunity to become active and go outside.
Kathleen Hanlon's French I and II students from both Blairsville and Saltsburg high schools took a combined field trip on Feb. 11. The first stop was at the Carnegie Science Center in Pittsburgh where students viewed one of the Omnimax movie features, "SeaMonsters: a Prehistoric Adventure" in French. It was an awesome French language immersion experience and an entertaining audio/visual experience rolled into one.
[PHOTO: Kathleen Hanlon's French I and II students from Blairsville and Saltsburg high schools posed for a group picture outside the Jean-Marc Chatellier Bakery in Millvale. (Submitted photo/Saltsburg High School)]
The group ate together at the Science Center and then traveled up the road to Millvale to visit the Jean-Marc Chatellier Bakery. Students had the opportunity to buy authentic French bakery items such as croissants and macaroons. The atmosphere in the bakery was cozy and very Parisian. As always, Hanlon was proud of the students as they handled themselves respectfully throughout the trip. It was a well-deserved "bon voyage" for mid-February.
Zumba classes will be offered on March 26 in the high school cafeteria. The two time options are 4 to 5 p.m. and 7 to 8 p.m. The cost is $5 for adults and $3 for students. Classes will be taught by certified Zumba instructor and science teacher Jennifer Little.

An estimated nine to twelve percent of the male population suffers from some form of color vision deficiency, commonly called 'color blindness.' It is important for computer interface designers to take into account and eliminate, if possible, any potential confusions that can arise because of color vision deficiencies. There are two major types of color blindness. The most prevalent causes are confusion between red and green. This type affects approximately eight to ten percent of the male population. In another type, an additional one to two Percent of men suffer from a deficiency in perceiving blue/yellow differences. Less than one percent of women suffer from any form of color blindness. To understand color blindness better, it is helpful to be familiar with the ways in which colors differ from each other. One standard way to discuss color is to divide it into hue, saturation and brightness (HSB).

Using color and color alone as a visual cue is appealing because it's usually an aesthetically pleasing and a minimalist design technique. Calls to action and visual cues are critical to interface designers because users, especially on the web, have limited patience and are looking to process information and make decisions quickly. Since the brain recognizes and forms an emotional bond with colors almost immediately, colors are a natural choice for visual cues. Unfortunately, it's easy to alienate or confuse some of your users when some of those aesthetically pleasing colors look very similar. To point out a few interfaces that use hard to differentiate colors as visual cues, here are a few examples that have given me some trouble.

Did you know that a site visitor forms his or her first impression about your site within the first nine seconds of a visit? Making sure your color scheme is in contour with your site's content and visitors, is very important. You want the color scheme to enhance your site and it's content, not distract or confuse your users. Color gives users cues as to your site's navigation, grouping of content, importance, relationships, etc. For this reason, color is an essential element of Web site design. Most of the people relate to color similarly online and offline. Visitors to your site, whether they know it or not, respond to colors and other visual elements on your web site on a psychological level. An intrigued (and non-confused) site visitor is more likely to engage in the goal of your site -- whether it is meant to inform, entertain, or to sell goods or services.

Color in Technical Documents for Paper, Web, and PDF
Traditionally, technical documents have been produced in black and white because the cost of color reproduction on paper is high. With new delivery options of the Web and PDF, color is suddenly available at no cost online. And new digital printers make color on paper increasingly affordable. When opportunity knocks, issues tend to follow. Writers will find that using color is a learning experience. There is a new alphabet soup: RGB, CMYK, GIF, JPEG, CSS. There are new buzzwords: spot colors, process colors, digital printing. There are new techniques for representing color in Web pages and in PDF documents intended for paper or screen. Our presentation focuses on practical techniques, not graphic design.

Color Theory for Designers, Part 1: The Meaning of Color
Color in design is very subjective. What evokes one reaction in one person may evoke a very different reaction in somone else. Sometimes this is due to personal preference, and other times due to cultural background. Color theory is a science in itself. Studying how colors affect different people, either individually or as a group, is something some people build their careers on. And there's a lot to it. Something as simple as changing the exact hue or saturation of a color can evoke a completely different feeling. Cultural differences mean that something that's happy and uplifting in one country can be depressing in another.

So, the wrx/sti take premium and I was curious if anyone was planning on selling their car when gas prices got up close to $5 bucks a gallon just for regular? Do you guys have a worry in the back of your mind about the gas prices going up again? I suppose regular isn't so bad but since the cars require premium then it kinda sucks.
Right now where I'm at premium is about $3.20 but this past summer it was close to $4 a gallon while regular was about $3.55
That is one thing I will have to consider is gas prices, low mpg on a car that takes regular is one thing..but we all know the wrx doesn't get the best mpg and requiring premium doesn't help the wallet lol

They must be delighted instead of to become taken without any consideration in order for you to have a productive website.
Let us us figure out how to make a web site for lookup engines
Use Alt Tags -If that you are using graphics on your website page, never forget so as to add its alt tag on it whether it's only a photograph or a picture that has a text on it. Do not fail to remember that, in terms of research engines are anxious, your graphics could possibly too just be major black packing containers in your web page. If you are utilizing a picture for your menu, It can be a very good observe to help make yet another set of menu using the exact kind but all is in text format and never in graphic.

Duke Triathlon Club Collegiate Nationals Report
By Brad Pansing
On Thursday April 7, 2011 sixteen Duke undergrads, graduate students, and employees packed their bikes, gear and themselves onto a charter bus for the day long journey to USAT Collegiate Triathlon nationals in Tuscaloosa, AL. For 6 of the 13 Olympic distance athletes, this was to be their first Olympic distance triathlon. Friday was an anxious day of swim practice in the frigid Black Warrior River; pre race fueling and overall preparation to compete. The men started out with a 1500m swim in the 62 degree Black Warrior River. Taylor Knight and Ross Taggart performed exceptionally well with split times of 21:39.0 and 22:56.1 respectively. After a long run to transition, the guys destroyed the bike with Robert Ferris coming in with a time of 1:01:54 followed by James Zhou, Taylor Knight, and Daniel Haughton with times of 1:03:40; 1:05:15; and 1:09:14 respectively. The sun emerged and started to really bake the racers during the run where Robert Ferris had a split time of 37:38.0 followed by Taylor Knight with a run time of 40:00.0, James Zhou (42:02.0) and Tong Xiang (43:10.0). Robert Ferris finished with an overall place of 38; Taylor Knight in 66th, James Zhou in 137th, Daniel Haughton in 199th, Matthew Lewis in 393rd, Ross Taggart in 416th, and Tong Xiang in 531st. This was a particularly strong showing for Daniel Haughton since this is his debut year on the triathlon scene. Overall the men's team finished in 16th place.
It was hot by the time the women started at 10am. Chelsea Koglmeier was exceptionally strong in the swim with a split of 22:53.1, followed by Andrea Martin (24:08.0), Allie Middleton and Michelle Sanchez. Chelsea Koglmeier was riding exceptionally strong and looking at a top 10 finish until a misfortunately timed dropped chain caused a crash. Despite this unfortunate accident, Ms. Koglmeier was able to get back on the bike and finish with a split time of 1:12:48, followed by Andrea Martin (1:19:50), Allie Middleton, and Michelle Sanchez. By the time the young ladies hit the run, the air temperature had risen to a grueling 92 degrees Fahrenheit. Chelsea Koglmeier finished the run for a split of 45:50.94, followed by Allie Middleton (52:26.0), Andrea Martin, and Michelle Sanchez. Chelsea Koglmeier finished 19th overall (15th for undergraduate females) with a time of 2:23:43. Andrea Martin followed with a time of 2:51:18 and placed 110th overall (30th for graduate females). Allie Middleton finished 177th and Michelle Sanchez finished 378th. The womens team placed 27th in the overall team competition.
The individual sprint race started at the heat of the day at 12:30 with 92-degree air temperature. Duke employee Ashley Yeager destroyed the course and won the female alumni division. Rookie Bradley Pansing finished 44th in the undergraduate division (56th overall) followed by fellow rookie Greg Evans who placed 133rd overall.
The team had a great time, and learned a lot, especially the need to stay hydrated for all the legs of the race in extreme heat. For many people this was there first Olympic distance triathlon and trip to nationals, which will surely inspire them to train harder and perform stronger when they return next year.

The Glock Manual Safety
disclaimer: i am not dumb enough to want this. i was just curious as to whether this is for real. apparently it is...
Glock owners are smarter than that...
My Glock is safe enough as it is.
Ha... not this here is just plan funny!! What's the point? If that's what you want just get something else. The Glock is a thing of beauty and a joy to behold why ruin it. If it an't broke don't fix it. Why ruin a good thing!
Need I saw more :essen14:
Nope, saw no more.
hey i don't want one...i was just curious if this is actually for real.
I've actually seen one of these installed. Didn't shoot the gun, but the owner sure was proud of it. I held my comments.
I would never install anything like this on my Glocks, and would encourage anyone who feels like they need this to look at firearms from other manufacturers. There's plenty of quality guns out there with external safeties.
Thats what was missing! Now its not one of the ugliest guns I've seen!
My Glock's manual safety...
Attachment 63228
My Glock is perfectly safe because I never load it.
Does it come with a free CCW badge?:duh:
I have seen one, and fired the gun. The shop where I used to work had one on a range rental. Unfortunately it was installed by their "gunsmith" and it looked bad, but it worked ok I guess. Even if I was a right handed shooter I wouldn't own one.
Next thing will be putting key locks on them

Technocrats Step In Where Political Leaders Fear to Tread: Viewby
In the past 12 months, four European premiers have lost their jobs because they failed to fix their countries' mounting debt problems. A fifth could join the list on Nov. 20, when Spain holds a general election.
The take-away: When leaders fail to address urgent fiscal matters, the capital markets will punish -- and ultimately remove -- them by making the cost of financing debt prohibitively high.
Heads started rolling this year when Ireland's and Portugal's prime ministers lost elections soon after being forced to accept EU bailouts. Italy's Silvio Berlusconi and Greece's George Papandreou are the latest victims; both have been replaced by economic technocrats with no particular party loyalty.
Over the past weekend, Mario Monti was named Italy's new prime minister. Monti, formerly a political economy professor and university president, spent more than a decade in Brussels, where he last served as the European Commission member overseeing competition policy. He took on corporate titans like General Electric Co. Chairman Jack Welch, who in 2001 sought to merge GE with Honeywell International Inc. Even though U.S. authorities had approved the $47 billion deal, Monti said no.
Roll Over
The ability to say no will come in handy. Italy must reduce its long-term spending and reform its stalled economy enough to reinvigorate growth. It must do all this in time to roll over, by April, about 200 billion euros ($272 billion) in maturing bonds -- at reasonable rates. The interest rate demanded by investors last week punched through the 7 percent mark, the level reached by Greece, Ireland and Portugal when they sought bailouts.
European markets were not totally appeased yesterday: Stocks declined overall, and 3 billion euros ($4.1 billion) of five-year Italian notes sold at a 6.29 percent yield, the highest since June 1997, pushing Italy's total debt up even more. If Italy is forced to continue to pay such astronomical rates, it won't be able to refinance all its debt, and default will follow.
To avoid that, Monti is likely to pursue policies that will make Italy more growth-oriented and less crisis-prone. As an economist, he understands that what Italy does to help its economy is also crucial to preventing a global recession. His reforms must include eliminating red tape and loosening the stranglehold that professional unions have over the job market. He also must revamp Italy's tax code to make evasion much harder and further reform an overburdened public pension system.
Greece's new prime minister, Lucas Papademos, also an economist and a former central banker, has many of the same challenges as Monti. He has one additional burden: He must see to it that Greece makes good on its debt-reduction commitments by mid-December, or else the EU will withhold the next tranche of bailout funds. Without it, Greece also risks a disorderly default.
One hopes these shifts have not been lost on President Barack Obama and the U.S. Congress. The U.S. certainly doesn't face anything like the dire situations confronting Greece and Italy. Still, it would be foolhardy to assume the U.S. can't be similarly manhandled by the capital markets, even with 10-year Treasury yields at a low 2.04 percent.
Failure by the congressional supercommittee, say, to come up with $1.2 trillion in spending cuts and revenue increases over 10 years, thereby triggering larger automatic cuts, could easily open a new chapter of vulnerability. The deep cuts triggered by the failure would certainly mark the apogee of political dysfunction.
Americans are fond of deriding European technocrats. Yet it's the technocrats -- a cadre of economists with international experience -- who have accepted the challenge of stabilizing the continent, putting aside personal or political interest. They are Europe's best hope.
If Congress and the president can't find a way to work together, one shouldn't be surprised if Americans start looking for technocrats, too.

New Kansas Abortion Law Among Most Restrictive in the Nation
Legislation signed into law in Kansas last week will sharply restrict women's access to abortions, part of a nationwide assault on reproductive rights.
The language of the bill "declares the life of each human being begins at fertilization, with all state laws to be interpreted and construed to protect the rights, privileges, and immunities of the unborn child, subject only to the U.S. Constitution and the judicial decisions and interpretations of the U.S. Supreme Court."
Although the statute gives a nod to women's federally-protected right to seek abortions, it could be used to instantly criminalize procedures outright if the Supreme Court precedent in Roe v. Wade were to be overturned. The definition could also potentially be used to find other ways to restrict access and to ban certain types of contraception. Seven other states also have language defining life as beginning at fertilization.
The Kansas law also prevents abortion providers from receiving tax breaks or participating in sex education in public schools. Doctors are required to provide certain information to women before a procedure, including literature that inaccurately connects breast cancer risk to abortion. There are criminal penalties for doctors who violate the law's provisions, including up to a year in prison for a first offense.
Challenge to Roe
"I think what's extraordinary about this bill is the length it goes to to make sure it applies throughout the system," says Sharon G. Levin, director of federal reproductive health policy for the National Women's Law Center. The law is but one among many statutes that legislatures around the country are attempting to enact.
"This term particularly has seen a high number of bills in opposition to abortion and reproductive health as well," Levin says. "The extreme nature of these bills has been particularly unique."
The Kansas law comes on the heels of other extraordinary restrictions that states have put in place, including a ban on most abortions after six weeks in North Dakota and 12 weeks in Arkansas. Kansas already bans abortions after the 21st week of pregnancy, with an exception to preserve the life of the mother, but not in cases of rape or incest.
The landmark 1973 Supreme Court decision Roe v. Wade guarantees women the right to seek abortions up until the baby is considered viable outside the womb, or between 24 and 28 weeks of pregnancy. Opponents suspect that restrictions standing in direct contradiction to Roe are a deliberate means to challenge the precedent and get the laws in front of the Supreme Court. "They all serve a dual purpose," says Levin, "to make access in the state where the bill is passed all but impossible, and also to create a court challenge to Roe so ultimately abortion could be deemed illegal nationally."
Doctors Compelled To Lie
Other measures that states have passed or are considering include putting unnecessary and prohibitive physical requirements on facilities that provide abortions, forcing women to receive medically unnecessary transvaginal ultrasounds prior to having an abortion and requiring doctors that perform the procedures to have privileges at nearby hospitals.
Some of the laws are on questionable First Amendment grounds, and indeed a judge in Oklahoma last year found that forcing doctors to describe an ultrasound to a woman violated the doctor's speech protections. An article written back in 2007 by Robert C. Post of the Yale Law School challenges the right of legislatures to compel doctors to engage in ideological speech or communicate information known to be false.
However, regardless of what constitutional rights are being shredded, the anti-choice forces press onward. "Even though Roe is the law of the land, in some states we are close to having no abortion access," Levin says. "People have the right on paper, but in practical terms abortion will be illegal."

NFL free agent Kerry Rhodes has released a statement clearing assumptions about his sεxuality after intimate photos (scroll down to view the photos) of he and his former assistant Alton Craig surfaced online. The athlete, who has been in the league since 2005, told TMZ, "Photos have been circulating of my former assistant and I that have caused some rumors regarding my sεxuality, and I wanted to address the situation. I am not gay."
Rhodes continued, explaining where the photos were shot: "The shots were taken during a past vacation in a casual environment with my entire business team," he said. Although he is not gay, he says he supports athletes in the league who are gay. "I know a lot of people are recently talking about athletes struggling to come out to their fans right now, and I support them, as well as wish those individuals comfort." The photos of the two men were rumored to be from their honeymoon and/or an engagement celebration. Craig is wearing a wedding band in the photos. Rhodes is not. Over the years, Rhodes has been rumored to be in relationships with high profile women, including Aubrey O'Day.
The discussion of homosεxuality in football comes after ex-Baltimore Ravens and gay rights supporter Brendon Ayanbadejo announced that four NFL players are considering outing their sεxuality soon. "We're in talks with a handful of players who are considering it. There are up to four players being talked to right now, and they're trying to be organized so they can come out on the same day together. It would make a major splash and take the pressure off one guy. It would be a monumental day if a handful or a few guys come out," Ayanbadejo said.

Rick Ross opposers took to the streets of New York to protest that rappers lyrics in the song " You Ain't Even Know" . It is believed and to most very obvious that his lyrics were referencing date rape, although the rapper denies it. The lyric in question is, "Put Molly all in her champagne, she ain't even know it/ I took her home and I enjoyed that, she ain't even know it."Rick Ross issued a cowardly apology via his twitter account on Thursday. But women are not buying it. One organization that is fighting back is the women's rights group, Ultra Violet, who rallied outside of a Reebok flagship store in opposition.
The group is demanding that Reebok drop Rick Ross as their spokesperson. A statement made on Ultra Violet's website by Nita Chaudhary read as follows:
"It's time for Reebok to stop using their brand as a platform to dictate to women what counts as rape. Contrary to Ross' claims, there was no misinterpretation here: Slipping a woman a drug and 'enjoying that' is rape, plain and simple," says a statement on the company's website by co-founder Nita Chaudhary. "It's time for them to answer the 72,000 former customers who want them to stop promoting violence against women and fire Rick Ross."
Attendee Wagatwe Wanjuki said, "As a survivor of campus rape, I know how harmful it is when sexual violence is not recognized for what it is: a violation of another human being. Reebok needs to take the responsible route and stand against the denial of the experiences of millions of rape victims around the world."
Sonia Ossorio, the president of NOW NYC, who is in total support of Ultra Violet's efforts ,said, "It's unacceptable that Reebok, one of the oldest brands in athletics, would stand behind someone who so openly condones rape. Companies like Reebok have a responsibility to the public."
Those in the hip-hop community are not remaining silent about the disturbing lyric. Talib Kweli has called the rapper's apology "unacceptable" . Ross's apology on twitter read, "I don't condone rape. Apologies for the #lyric interpreted as rape. #BOSS."
Okay I have to stop being formal in this blog and tell you straight. Rick Ross is a bold face liar. Anyone in their right mind who thinks that this man is even genuinely sorry for his lyric has got be plum crazy. His BS card got pulled and he is trying to save face by doing what he thinks is politically correct. It does nothing for those that have fell victim to rape in their past, who have to relive it over and over again, year after year, day after day. Rick Ross owes more than apology to the masses. Rick Ross needs to face the thousands of women who he has offended in a press conference and explain why he thinks that it is fashionable to go around poking fun at a serious crime such as date rape. Although many overcome the short term effects of rape, the mental effects of rape last a lifetime, which is something that Rick Ross clearly does not understand. It is time for Ross to man up and stop being a coward. Put down that gangsta persona and come correct.

Chris Verich is the co-owner and director of brewing operations at Ohio Brewing Co. The production brewery -- which also features a tasting room -- is located in the Selle Generator Works building in downtown Akron. Verich previously has run a brewery in the Youngstown area and had a brewpub in downtown Akron.
Question: Why did you become a brewer?
Answer: I fell in love with beer during a family vacation to Europe and had traditional beer the first time in Germany. While a Grad student at Kent State I took up homebrewing and realized after winning some medals I seemed to have an aptitude in it. Also after visiting some breweries and brewpubs out West I saw the potential in the craft brewing industry and felt I would really enjoy being part of that.
Q: You've run both a brewpub and a production brewery. Is it more difficult to run one or the other?
A: A brewpub, no question. A brewpub is three businesses in one (a bar, a restaurant and a brewery) so the challenges and headaches are three times as worse. If done well with plenty of working capital and top notch staff, a brewpub is a thing of beauty, but I enjoy operating a brewery since you have less to concern yourself with.
Q: With so many breweries looking to open in Ohio, what advice can you share with future brewery owners?
A: Do plenty of research, having at least twice as much working capital as you think you need and be filled with a crazy passion for brewing, not just capitalizing on a business trend.
Q: What's your best-selling beer and why do you think it's so popular?
A: Verich Gold is usually the best seller, although Cardinal Ale is very close. Verich Gold is simply a very smooth tasting, drinkable craft beer. It has flavor but still very accessible so it appeals to a wide market. Seasonally, our Jingle Bell Ale outsells all of our products during the holidays.
Q: Which beer -- any beer in the world -- do you wish you created/invented/brewed and why?
A: Westmalle Triple. It is simply a perfect beer. Great tasting, flavorfull, drinkable and still packs a punch. Just truly delicious.

The older I get the more powerful (emotionally) is the Lord's Table to me. (Already powerful spiritually) Over and over again I see amazing and wonderful things happen during communion.
I thought maybe we should start a thread to share inspirational stories about things that have happened during communion. I assume pastors will be the primary contributors just because of our relationship to the Eucharist but all are welcome.
We almost always serve communion by intinction and the first Sunday of our quarter we do Family Communion when the kids come in from children's church. (about 70 kids on any give Sunday so it is bit of logistical zoo) During these family communions I often see very powerful moments.
Some of you know we changed our local government to Elder/Deacon and I now have our Elders do a lot of the serving of communion. This Sunday after my aisle was done I slipped over to help one of our new Elders I got there just as his family was up. I realized this would be the first time he would serve communion to his family. I stepped back so that his young girls would not come to me. As I stood there is was hard to keep my composure as this young man bent down to serve his three daughters. Two of them are adopted from China. They each took a wafer with him saying "The body of Christ which was broken for you" they then held it until all had bread, then dipped it in the cup all four hands at once as he said "His blood which was shed for you" - All those little hands holding the wafers, two of them brown and mom's loving guiding hand, and Dad's hand holding the cup and a look of deep love for his family. (Him still bent over so he could look the girls in the eye)
It is such an honor to be in a place to witness those moments. - I love my job.
What stories do you have... I have others but would love to hear yours.

American star Clint Dempsey has worked his way back from a groin injury, and today he showed that he is back healthy after scoring his first home goal for Tottenham, helping Spurs post a 3-1 victory against Reading on Tuesday.
Dempsey's deflected goal, which came just three minutes after he entered the match, gives him four league goals on the season, and marked his first goal for Tottenham at White Hart Lane.
While Dempsey still has to establish a regular starting role, he now has four goals and three assists in 16 appearances, starting in 12 of Tottenham's 21 matches.
Here is Dempsey's latest goal:
I have to disagree with a quite a few people on this site who have implied Dempsey has not performed well since being in a Spurs uniform. People have to remember Dempsey in reality had no preseason w/any club even though he was on the books at Fulham. His first few games were getting his feet wet on a new club and battling against opposing players already in game shape form. You can tell AVB has full confidence in Dempsey and seeing him day in and day out proves that theory and he's been giving him plenty of minutes. Within the last few games before his injury in the Europa League and BPL, Dempsey has been argubaby w/Lennon and of course Bale been the best all around players for the Spurs.
Dempsey has definitely been improving for Spurs, but i disagree he has been their best all around player, that goes to Dembele. I am a Spurs fan and have seen almost all of their games. When he is in the game they play so much better. I notice they seem to lose when he doesn't play so I looked up the stats with and without him:
With Dembele Tottenham are 11-2-1
Without Dembele Tottenham are 1-1-5
So the only loss with Dembele is the Everton game where they let in 2 stoppage time goals and the only win was against Southhampton 2-1.
He is definitely there most important player
Michael Stypulkoski
Dempsey has definitely gotten up to speed and is playing like the player we all know he is, but take off the blinders – he was mediocre at best for the first couple months he was with Spurs (and that's being kind). Not just with Tottenham, he endured a poor stretch with the national team, too. The reason, of course, is that he didn't get a real preseason in. Now that he's match-fit he's playing well, which we all expected to happen.
But regardless of how good he is and how well he's playing now, he had a rough start in North London. Why are so many posters around here so reticent to admit that? If anything overcoming those struggles as he has speaks well for Dempsey. And as kmac014 said, claiming that Dempsey has played as well as guys like Defoe, Bale, and Dembele is just silly. He hasn't, but that's not a knock against him. I mean, Xavi hasn't played as well as Messi this season, but that's not a criticism of Xavi.
Cmon u guys didnt read the post; before responding maybe take the time. I indicated the few games before his injury he was ine of the top performers. Of course he wasnt playing well in the beginning; that was mentioned as well; SMH
Michael Stypulkoski
My reply was in part addressed not only to you but to all of those who in blindly rooting for all things Dempsey refuse to acknowledge any shortcomings. Your main point, if I'm not mistaken, is your first sentence: "I have to disagree with a quite a few people on this site who have implied Dempsey has not performed well since being in a Spurs uniform." My contention is that he did indeed have a poor run of games upon joining the team. We all agree that he has turned it around and is playing well now, but you (or at least people of your ilk – I don't want to put words in your mouth specifically, Alex) deluded yourself into thinking that he was playing well early on, and while you now acknowledge that that wasn't the case, gloss over that rough patch when discussing his season. But being only at the midway point, that rough patch makes up a sizable chunk of his season. If he carries on playing well for the rest of the year, then fair enough, we can say that Dempsey had a successful year. But as of now it's been a mixed bag.
As for Dempsey being one of Tottenham's top players, yes, there was a run of maybe three or four games before his injury where he was in that discussion. Personally, I think that's far too small a sample size to say that he was one of his team's top performers. I expect by the end of the season people may very well look at him as being one of Spurs' better players, but not yet. I guess we just disagree on how long a player has to play well to be considered one of his team's top performers.
The snarky attitude doesn't help, nor does it strengthen your argument. SBI is one of the few civil forums on the Internet, let's try to keep it that way.
Dont include me with the others as dempsey was playing well from the start; not me Michael. Dont interpret my comment as snarky; it seems that my initial comment suggested hes been playing well since the start; not the case and obviously factors were involved. Read Ives's response yesterday from the Q+A regarding Dempsey's time so far, as ive totally backed up his statement. As a whole yes i agree with Demps has not been one of the better players; however recent form suggests otherwise. I guess we agree to disagree. Good discussion my friend..
divers suck
lol @Michael, Dempsey playing spot duty at the end of the last 2 matches following a groin injury doesn't equate "gotten up to speed"! I'm as big a fan of Clint Dempsey as any(all) US Soccer fans but I'm certainly not going there. Deuce's day will come if he stays healthy for both 'Spurs and the Nats. You're right, we must take our blinders off, but still root for him and not expect a hat trick every time he plays.
Dempsey has played much better in his last 4-5 games, but let's be real – Dembele, Vertonghen, Sandro, Bale, Lennon, Defoe – these are the guys who have been indispensable for Spurs, for the season and lately as well. Actually, Dempsey has been outshined by Siggurdson, who has been playing really well of late and who obviously competes with Clint for playing time. Siggurdson had another great game today and he showed again today that he's by far Spurs' best option for set pieces, which is going to give him a boost in the playing time battle.
Dempsey is playing well right now – fans should just let him be without heaping such high expectations on him. If he makes an appearance in most games and gets a handful of starts for a team seriously challenging for a Champions League place, that's pretty excellent. That's a very crowded and talented midfield he's trying to find a place in. (Actually, his best hope for minutes might be if Adebayor continues to play listlessly and AVB opts to go with Clint in the hole behind Defoe in a 4-5-1. But right now he seems to be trying to make the 4-4-2 with Defoe and Adebayor work.)
You lost me at Siggurdson…. and Lennon. Neither have had good years. Lennon will be kept because they need his speed, but he has been far from a top player so far this year.
To clarify: Lennon's performance on-the-whole season. He's shown signs lately of recapturing his form.
Agree, lost me on the Icelandic however we can all agree as a team esecially defensively everyone has stepped up; hence Spurs in the top 4
Siggurdson started out worse than Dempsey, but he has been tremendous in his last 4-5 appearances. My comments about Gylfi were restricted to what he's done lately.
How exactly has Dembele been indespensable for Spurs? The guy has some serious dribbling skills and tackles well, but he doesnt do much more than that, certainly not as well as others in their midfeild, Demps included. He also relies far too much on his left foot, part of the reason coaches have realized they need to play him deep in the midfield rather have him as a forward or attacking mid like he played before coming to the premier league. Both Dembele and Dempsey were far more effective players with Fulham. As for Dempsey's form, his first two games for Spurs, especially the Europa game v Lazio, were excellent I thought. After those, his form started to lag likely because he was learning how AVB wanted him to play. The reason why both Dembele and Demps arent the players they were at Fulham? – Martin Jol is a better manager than AVB.
Scroll up and look at Spurs' record when Dembele plays and when he doesn't play. He's their most important player. Without him, the attack tends to be without ideas. There's pretty wide consensus on this from Spurs fans.
A bit fortunate on the deflection. But you got to love the ambition to take a shot from distance.
Er…weren't there some other guys that played today?
Looks goood in those Spurs. will he ever bring back that shaggy late 08 hairstyle he had at Fulham?
He is on pace to score 8 to 12 goals and have 7 assists this year for Tottenham. That would be a good year for a new club in my opinion. People can talk all they want about him not having a good year, but he seems to be doing just fine to me. 16 appearnces with 12 starts with 4 goals and 3 assists while not having a pre-season with Spurs. Not bad at all.
+1 Again people failed to realize he was late getting started playing football this season; not saying he was great but need to look at the whole picture and give him the benefit of the doubt.
+1 I would say thats a pretty good year too. Not bad when there are so many quality options for his position at Spurs. People just need to realize that Tottenham is not Fulham, he is not going to get every goal scoring opportunity on the team. Overall he is in a much better position right now, allowed to refine his game and contribute in a more meaningful way instead of carrying the entire attack at Fulham.
I figure he finishes with 10 league goals, 8 assists
Bale and Defoe are both having strong "individual" seasons. IMO,they both have been remarkably selfish this season and the Spurs have essentially bullied there way to a top four spot on individual talent alone.That won't hold up unless they can really start playing more team football. (I've been a Spurs fan for a while and am pretty sure Defoe and Bale do not get along. They had visible arguments on the field last season)
As for Dempsey, he struggled early and often and it was tiresome to see him go to ground so often. However, in the the four or five games before his injury he was critical to Spurs success because he is unselfish. Note the Stoke game without Dempsey and the inclusion of Dembele as an indicator of his importance. Spurs created no real chances in that game. Dembele was never a goal scorer at Fulham nor much of an assist man. What he is fantastic at is transitioning the ball out of the defensive third.

After a few weeks in Shanghai, I am finally settling and getting used to China, and how crazy they drive in Shanghai.
I have a decent 2Mbps ADSL line at home that works much better than the broadband I was getting from Telekom Malaysia in KL. P2P traffic is not throttled aparently, unlike in Telekom Malaysia, but since 24 March YouTube is blocked in China. Nobody knows officially why, but I am missing the highlights from the Spanish Liga in YouTube, which by the way were harder and harder to find before they were (instantly) removed due to copyright issues.
On the mobile side, almost everybody uses China Mobile in Shanghai. iPhones although not officially launched can be easily acquired in stores (imported from US, Hong-Kong or Singapore) . The iPhone 3G is quite popular and you can see a lot of them in Shanghai, despite 3G in China is not yet available. It will be launched very soon, on 17 May, the International Day of Telecommunications. I was also about to buy a G1, "imported" from T-Mobile, but somehow the Google account was impossible to activate, probably because the hack was blocked.
When the 3G licenses were awarded, the market in China was reorganized around three operators :
- China Mobile with the Chinese standard TD-SCDMA
- China Unicom with WCDMA (UMTS)
- China Telecom with CDMA-EVDO
China Unicom will launch the iPhone 3G, and I would not be surprised if in one year, the number of iPhones in China would surpass those in USA.
On the TV side, Cable TV is very popular, given that it costs 13 RMB per month, or less than 1.5 Euro! for about 50 channels, all Chinese. International content is officially not available, but specially many foreigners "subscribe" to Dream, a Satellite Digital TV provider from Philippines that does include in their packages CNN, BBC, ESPN, HBO, TCM and others.
Regulation for TV and telecommunications is handled by separate bodies, the SARFT for broadcasters and the MII for Telcos. Cable Operators have only recently been allowed to provide broadband services, while Shanghai Telecom launched IPTV for free with some limitations in what TV services they can offer.
SARFT has developed a local standard for Mobile TV called CMMB (China Multimedia Mobile Broadcasting), that after the Beijing Olympics reached more than 1 million users, which is a big success in user adoption, compared to other Mobile TV experiences, specially in Europe and US. The service is Free-To-Air, and car GPS systems and some Portable Media Players incorporate CMMB tuners. Mobile Phones have also been only recently allowed to incorporate a tuner. With the cost of the chip-set going under $5, SARF expects to reach more than 10 million users in 2010.
The Chinese people can not enjoy YouTube, but anyway most of them do not speak English (yet). In return they can watch a lot of CCTV, enve on the mobile!

I'm doing a review sheet for math and a certain question states: "solve: ln(3/4)"
What should I take solve to mean?
Do I just change it's form to ln(3/4) = ln3 - ln 4 ?
Or, perhaps, I need to actually enter in the value into a calculator.
How would you take on this question?
An other question states: "Solve: sin(35)"
Again, same idea, how should I take this question? Should I just convert it into radians or should I just enter it into a calculator?
The way they word these review questions are confusing to me. They should really be more specific...
Again, how would you math pros take these kinds of questions? Your input is much appreciated!
Correction, I should have said convert it to radians using a calculator or convert to radians using this conversion thingy: pi/180 degrees
Actually it probably has something to do with trig identities...
Well, now I'm just over thinking things...
Unit circle.... ugh. Probably have to make estimates, if I'm not to use a calculator.
it means nothing to say "solve ln(3/4)"
There's nothing to solve.
It should say something like "evaluate ln(3/4) as a sum of logs of integers" or something
Check examples in the same section of the text to see what they mean.
If it's a stand-alone problem, question the teacher. You can't "solve" an expression. You solve equations, evaluate expressions in terms of some other expressions.
Thanks, Steve! They are stand alone questions, so I'll ask my teacher what he means.

Would I be caught with a pink gun? NO!!! Would I own one if it would get a child or spouse interested in the shooting sports? Yes.
Of course I'd lie to all my friends and swear it didn't belong to me. Was left by a relative for safe keeping, while they are out of the country for a year or two hundred!!!
Darn tootin! I held a pink cricket up to my daughter when she was just a year old and she went nutso over it.
Looks like I may have to make a trip up to that new store next week to see what all they have.
edit: Having a pink gun in the house wouldn't make me feel like any less of a man. Ted Nugent has at least one pink camo AR that he was making Jim Z(D)umbo shoot to show him that they are not evil black rifles.
I will support gun control when you can guarantee all guns are removed from this planet. That includes military and law enforcement. When you can accomplish that, then I will be the last person to lay down my gun. Then I will carry the weapon that replaces the gun.
My 5yr. old daughter saw the pic of the newly released for '08 pink grip insert Julie Goloski edition S&W M&P pistol and she said to me that when I get her a "shooter" (her name for guns) she wants hers to be pink too. Most everything she has is pink which is her favorite color and I would not think to get her anything other than a pink detail *.anything and that includes her first firearm.
Hell I'd even sport pink grip panels on my 1911 if she got them for me (or they made me more accurate) and I wear on the street including to IDPA a bracelet she made for me of alternating color tone pink wooden beads that have the letters 'DADA' amongst them on my shooting hand. Nobody does or would say jack to me about it either.
BTW in Japan the color pink is and has long been a color of extreme masculinity, the polar opposite of which here in the US. Then there were the Brit's SAS of WWII with their 'Pink Panthers' to which no one would question either...
If pink colored stocks and grips get ladies and women in general to even look at muchless participate in hunting, or sporting competition, or defensive arms then hey I'm all for it and would choose to buy a pink this or that myself to support as much. And I would hope someone would ask me about it too as I'd tell them the same and ask they do the same for their mother, wife, or daughter.

On the May 30 edition of ABC's What Would You Do?, per usual, John Quiñones set out to expose Americans as racist and homophobic.
The veteran reporter began by traveling to Memphis, Tennessee, a town with a "painful, lasting scar" due to its connection to Martin Luther King Junior's April 1968 assassination. After setting up a scenario in a hair salon in which a white hair stylist expressed her disgust at an interracial couple and other customers continually spoke up to defend the African American girlfriend, Quiñones was forced to admit that "folks in the South"(no less) were "condemning racism," just as people had in the North. [See video below. Click here for MP3 audio]
Unable to prove racism, Quiñones moved further south into Mississippi and switched to the topic of sexual orientation. While many more people expressed their objections to homosexual couples on religious grounds when questioned, most did not speak outright against the couple. In the last scenario when the restaurant finally asked the gay couple to leave, two college students expressed their outrage at the act of discrimination.
Through his "social experiments," Quiñones has proved what most Americans already know. Racism is no longer acceptable in American society today, and soon, acts of intolerance against homosexuals will be too. It's quite the setback for ABC's crusade to portray Americans as backwards and ignorant.
What Would You Do?
19 seconds
JOHN QUIÑONES: We've made our way to Memphis, Tennessee, a beautiful, vibrant city along the Mississippi. But when it comes to the Civil Rights movement, Memphis has a painful, lasting scar. It was here, at the Lorraine Motel, that Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated. But that was almost 50 years ago. How big an issue is race today in Memphis, Tennessee?
10 seconds
QUIÑONES: Folks in the South, condemning racism. Much like it was condemned by African Americans in a barbershop in Harlem just a few months before.
