These two articles show news on same sex marriages and how the liberals are more for it then than conservatives. In The Union Leader, a paper for the Boston region, refused to put the names of the two individuals getting married in the paper and the couple got help from high power Democrats to get their name put in. New Hampshire helped the couple posting this statement, "The Union Leader’s opposition to gays and lesbians being treated equally under the law is no secret to those of us that live in New Hampshire." While some are shocked about this, Michael K. Lavers who grew up in New Hampshire is not surprised stating, "It is not at all surprising the Union Leader decided not to publish this couple’s wedding announcement," said Lavers. "The newspaper’s conservative--and even anti-gay--editorial positions are widely known. While unfortunate, the newspaper’s decision should not surprise anyone." The conservative newspaper responded with a statement saying that they have never put homosexual marriages in their newspaper and, "It would be hypocritical of us to do so, given our belief that marriage is and needs to remain a social and civil structure between men and women."

RE: Finally, an end to don't ask, don't tell
In response to The Record's recent editorial, It states there is soon to be an end to the Don't Ask Don't Tell (DADT) policy. Homosexuals should have the right to do whatever they so choose because they are people too. By removing this policy, this gives homosexuals the right to say what they want and be free while in the army or military, and not have to keep it such a secret that it can lose you a position in the military. This is the right thing to do and it will be a big step that will give possibly more people to the millitary, as they now can accept more homosexuals into their army. Furthermore, homosexual people are not attracted to every single person they see, they have limits and taking them out of the army just because they are gay is severley unconstitutional.
In a Washington Post article, Christian Berle states, "No longer will our military be compelled to discharge service members with valuable skills and experience because of an archaic policy mandating irrational discrimination." I support this one hundred percent because the military cannot afford to discharge such valuble members just because they are attracted to men rather than women.
A reasoning to some that support the DADT policy is that they say a homosexual man is attracted to another man, then he will save him over a person that he is not attracted to. With the training a military member obtains, this should not be the case because all members are trained equally. Even so, the military should not discriminate gays only. If two bestfriends are stationed in the same area they will rather save each other than another member of their station, in that case the military should ban best friends too, but that does not happen.
I disagree one-hundred percent with the DADT policy and it should be lifted immediatly.

Inverted Story! IM PUBLISHED!!!!!
A recent study, on September 21, 2010, shows that Applications (Apps) have become a big part of cell phone users today. The study states that app users are younger, more educated, and more affluent than other cell phone users. Although, the young crowd do use apps more, among adults who own cell phones (82%), 35% of adults have apps and 24% actually use them. Among apps that the adult crowd use 60% of them use games, 52% use it for News/Weather information, and 51% use apps such as Google Maps and other navigation applications.
Most of the frequent uses of applications would be 71% of the time while alone, 53% while waiting for something/someone, or 47% of the time at work. The frequent uses of apps are that 42% of people use them multiple times of day and 48% use them 10-30 minutes a day. Most apps have become easily accessible to the crowd as they are usually free seeing only one in eight adult cell phone users have paid to download an app. That is why most cell phone or other devices users download apps that sometimes rarely use them. Out of the people surveyed, 93% of them have 10 or more apps downloaded, but out of 84% surveyed only 24% actually do use the apps. When people download they like to do it soon as 33% after a weeks of their last download. This says something about how quickly apps are being produced and how surveyors are getting bored with past apps as they are increasingly updating each app everyday.
With the transition into smart phones and data phone with the introduction to 3G and 4G, apps are becoming huge and a way to make money in the data business is to keep on making applications that people love and buy. From Blackberry's to Iphones, the app industry is going and more and more people are joining the revolution. As numbers show, the rise of apps are increasing and only getting larger. Soon everyone will have some sort of app and it will be, if not already, a huge and daily part of an individuals life.
