Here was our coverage dilemma for the day: The courts acting at the behest of the military junta that runs Myanmar sentenced Nobel Peace laureate Aung Sun Su Kyi to another 18 months of house arrest. We have been covering this story, but it happened overnight and the news was available on the wires. We were debating up until air time whether we should revise the program to include an interview on the case. But with whom? We needed a voice that could expand the story beyond what is available on the wires, someone with direct knowledge who has spoken to her or her legal team.
As it happens we WERE able to reach someone but not until we were in the middle of the program and had guests in chairs. Still not sure we did the right thing, but we think so...for today.
We'll bring you more as we can reach people we think you'll want to hear from.
Meanwhile we do think we've brought you an interesting program, touching on many of the issues that we actually think and talk about among ourselves. With the economy in such poor shape and jobs at a premium it seems that employers have a new tool to weed out people - credit checks. But why does an employer want to know about your credit unless you are handling money? We asked our personal finance expert Alvin Hall and our life and career coach Valorie Burton to weigh in.
Also, what's Obama doing with his Office on Faith based initiatives and why a Maryland lawmaker who has made history as the first Muslim elected to office in that state is making waves by publicly supporting same sex marriage?
And....is GYM CLASS making you sick? Well, not literally! But we couldn't help but take note of a study in the journal Pediatrics that noted a huge increase in the number of kids visiting emergency rooms for the injuries sustained in gym class. We wanted to know why this might be so. It turns out researchers can tell you what but not necessarily why. The moms weigh in...
And on we go.
