Politics and the Olympic Games
Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and Britain's Prince Charles are all boycotting the opening of the Beijing Olympics. President Bush will attend, however. The U.S. has long had a policy of constructive engagement with China. Has doing business with China helped improve life in the country? Have preparations for the Olympic games made things better, or worse? Chinese officials point to national reforms, technological advances, and greater freedoms overall, but have the Olympics helped to improve human rights in China? Nobody has called for a boycott of the Games. Not even the Dalai Lama. Are Beijing's Olympics a missed opportunity? Or should politics not be involved in the Olympic games?<p>Plus, Cliff Mass joins us with a weekend weather forecast.</p>

A Conversation with Gloria Steinem
Is America's prejudice towards gender harder to overcome than prejudice towards race? Does the defeat of Senator Hillary Clinton prove it? Is sexism not taken as seriously as racism? Writer and activist Gloria Steinem joins us to address gender and politics. She supported Clinton during her campaign; now she's for Obama. What does she make of this election? Also, what does feminism look like in the 21st century? Is our current culture better for women or worse?


Your Olympic Moment: Meaningful Moments of Triumph or Defeat
<p>Athletes from around the world are in China, preparing for the start of the Olympic Games this Friday. Many of them will win. Even more will not. Not all of us can become Olympic athletes, but we all have Olympic moments. Meaningful moments of personal triumph, or defeat. These are the moments when you know you've arrived, or you know you're played out. What moment comes to mind? Maybe it is something small, like finally solving your Rubix cube. Maybe it's big, like realizing your career won't happen as you had planned. What have you learned from those times? What are your Olympic moments?</p> <p>Call during the show 1.800.289.KUOW (5869) or <a href="/contact.php?id=1010">email Weekday</a>.</p>


Encounters with the Wild
<p>First, a conversation on the week's news in Canada with political correspondent, Vaughn Palmer of the <em>Vancouver Sun</em>.</p> <p>Then, the wolves are back. Last week the first gray wolves in 70 years were confirmed in Washington State. Wolves were eliminated from the West by hunters and trappers who regarded them as dangerous pests that threatened livestock and people. Can wolves and people co&ndash;exist in Washington State? As urban development encroaches on previously untamed areas, human&ndash;wildlife encounters become more common. Conservationists have gone to great lengths to reintroduce wolves, bears and buffalo in different parts of the country. What will these populations look like? What does the coexistence of humans and wildlife really mean? How should we manage encounters with animals out in the wild?</p>


Child Prostitution in Seattle
A report assessing child prostitution in Seattle will be presented to the City Council's Public Safety, Human Services and Education committee later today. The report found that approximately 300&ndash;500 kids under 18 are currently involved in prostitution. And that is a conservative estimate. They are also starting younger; at 12&ndash;13 years old. The hotbed of activity is Aurora Avenue, where many prostitutes are barely 18 years old. How do kids fall into prostitution? What can be done about it?


Greendays Gardening Panel: Criminal Plants
Criminals. They're everywhere...even in your yard. See that laurel hedge budging into the sidewalk? Notice the hanging vines that are entangling power lines? Ah&ndash;ha! Criminal plants! Here comes a citation from the city. What rules are your plants breaking? How do you stop violations down the road? What should you never plant near an alley or sidewalk? Do you have criminal plants?


Bill Bishop: The Big Sort
America may be more diverse than ever coast to coast, but the places where we live are becoming increasingly crowded with people who live, think, and vote like we do. We've built a country where we can all choose the neighborhood, church, and news show most compatible with our lifestyle and beliefs. The result is that people often don't know and can't understand those who live just a few miles away. The reason and implications of this situation are the subject of Bill Bishop's new book: <em>The Big Sort</em>.
