Watch online: September 8 through December 7, 2010 Off and Running tells the story of Brooklyn teenager Avery, a track star with a bright future. She is the adopted African-American child of white Jewish lesbians. Her older brother is black and Puerto Rican and her younger brother is Korean. Though it may not look typical, Avery's household is like most American homes — until Avery writes to her birth mother and the response throws her into crisis. She struggles over her "true" identity, the circumstances of her adoption and her estrangement from black culture. Just when it seems as if her life is unraveling, Avery decides to pick up the pieces and make sense of her identity, with inspiring results. A co-production of ITVS in association with the National Black Programming Consortium and American Documentary/POV and the Diverse Voices Project, with major funding provided by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.
Recently the news has been saturated with images of protests at Park51, more commonly known as the “Mosque near Ground Zero”. This community center’s proximity to Ground Zero is the professed reason behind many critics of its construction. Will this debate hinder the acceptance of Muslims in America? Is the media to blame for fanning the flames of “Islamophobia”?

WHEN WORLDS COLLIDE, premiering on Monday, September 27, 2010, at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT on PBS, with host Rubén Martínez, begins on the streets of Los Angeles in 2010 and travels to Spain and Latin America, where contact first occurred between Spanish conquistadors and native peoples. This epic odyssey traces the impact that "New World" innovations had on the "Old World" during an era almost always described as "the conquest." In reality, the most important consequence of the era was the radical change that both worlds experienced, resulting in an entirely new "mestizo" or mixed culture, an important part of the heritage of more than 30 million Latinos in the U.S. today.
http://www.pbs.org/wnet/need-to-know/... How much of what ails America can be blamed on Facebook? According to best-selling author Gary Shteyngart, quite a lot. Shteyngart's new satirical novel, "Super Sad True Love Story," imagines a world in which the American economy has collapsed and people no longer read. People communicate primarily in online slang, through smart phones and social networking sites. Shteyngart speaks with NEED TO KNOW's Jon Meacham about nostalgia for communication in an ever-digitizing world, the heroism of immigration, and his childhood novel -- commissioned by his grandmother -- starring Lenin and a magical goose.

Roll Baby Roll! Heres some fun video of THE BOOZEFIGHTERS a motorcycle club.
Who are these men in green?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boozefighters
The Boozefighters Motorcycle Club (BFMC) is one of the oldest American working-class[clarification needed] motorcycle clubs, formed in California just after World War II. Today, the BFMC has chapters across America with its national headquarters located in Ft. Worth, Texas. The first European Chapter was founded in France in 2006. Other international chapters include Okinawa, Japan and South Korea.
[edit] History
The Boozefighters MC was formed in 1946 by veterans fresh out of World World II. "Wino" Willie Forkner (deceased 1997) is recognized by the club to be the founder. The BFMC were at the renowned Hollister incident of July 4, 1947, which was immortalized by the movie The Wild One, starring Marlon Brando. Lee Marvin played the part of "Chino," which is said to have been based on Wino Willie. It is this history that is being preserved in the spirit of fellowship and good fun.
The BFMC is one of the oldest active motorcycle clubs in existence. The Boozefighters have never been one percenters or an outlaw biker club. Their mottoes are, "The Original Wild Ones" and "A drinking club with a motorcycle problem."
