Dee, are these the questions? I shall do my best... 1. Why should Gay people get special treatment over other alternative lifestyles? I'm not quite sure how to answer this question, for the definition of "alternative lifestyles" seems open to interpretation. I will say that I don't think recognizing a gay marriage necessarily constitutes "special treatment". I would like to think that the acceptance of the concept of gay marriage would come organically, where the general population comes to the conclusion rather than having the Courts thrust the recognition upon society. However, I have my doubts as to whether or not this is a realistic hope. I believe that much of the resistance to societal changes comes about because the changes are forced on society without society being ready to acknowledge those changes.
Wall Street-Backed Finance
Bank of England Governor Mervyn King said the coordinated effort by central banks last week to ease a credit squeeze was aimed at persuading financial institutions they would do whatever is necessary to protect the world economy. The actions 'demonstrate that central banks are working together to try to forestall any prospective sharp tightening of credit conditions that might lead to a downturn in the world economy,' said King in testimony to lawmakers...

December 19 - Financial Times (Ralph Atkins): "The massive amount of liquidity pumped into financial markets by the European Central Bank appeared yesterday finally to have exceeded demand - but Jean-Claude Trichet, its president, insisted that there had been 'no bail-outs'.

Disney to recruit interns at UNLV
Though these jobs may not seem like typical internship work, Bolivar said that it is the “Disney difference" that makes it worthwhile. “It doesn't matter what you did there, it matters that you were there," Bolivar said. Wellington works at the gift shops at the All Star Resorts and agrees that the experience in polishing her communication skills and learning to better serve customers is what sets the internship apart from the rest. To motivate interns, positions are even given different names to help workers remember that they are there to entertain. Employees are called cast members, customers are called guests, uniforms are refereed to as costumes and when at work interns are on-stage. During the internship, students live in apartments with anywhere from three to five roommates.

Giants-Patriots Super Bowl the second most-watched TV show ever
The New York Giants' thrilling win over New England was the most-watched Super Bowl ever with 97.5 million viewers, a total that is second only to the "M-A-S-H" finale audience, Nielsen Media Research said Monday. The game eclipsed the previous Super Bowl record of 94.08 million, set when Dallas defeated Pittsburgh in 1996. The final "M-A-S-H" episode, which drew 106 million viewers in 1983, is the only other show in American broadcast history watched by more people. Sunday's game had almost all the ingredients Fox could have hoped for: a tight contest with an exciting finish involving a team that was attempting to make history as the NFL's first unbeaten team since 1972. But the Giants ended New England's bid for perfection, 17-14. Throughout the game, the teams were never separated by more than a touchdown.
