Youth Day (Zambia)

QUOTE OF THE DAY:
"Hatred does not cease by hatred, but only by love; this is the eternal rule." Buddha


TODAY IN HISTORY:
Michelle Bachelet
Japan earthquake & tsunami

  • 2004 Madrid train bombings: simultaneous explosions on rush hour trains in Madrid, Spain, kill 191 people.
  • 2006 Michelle Bachelet is inaugurated as first female president of Chile.
  • 2011 An earthquake measuring 9.0 in magnitude strikes 130 Km east of Sendai, Japan, triggering a tsunami killing thousands of people.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT:
Forest Whitaker
It's been already a year since Japan suffered a triple tragedy: earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear power plant obliteration. Watch the BBC report. Have you seen five musicians playing the same one guitar? Watch the CNN report. Have you heard about the Son Huasteco Style? Listen to the NPR interview. Do you remember the Dalai Lama? Watch the Time interview. Some Tibetan exiles have protested today in India. Check out the Reuters report. Do you think women should allow their husbands share house chores? Don't miss this ABC report via Yahoo! Have you ever seen a Forest Whitaker movie? USA Today features an interview with the actor/moviemaker.
