had to make this move right now addressing directly the people and the victims in ireland. >> hey, t.j. look, the reality is the sex abuse crisis is a global problem, but nowhere has the meltdown been more dramatic than in ireland. you're talking about a country, the total population of which is a little over 6 million and you have 15,000 cases reported of people abused by catholic personnel in that country. i mean, by way of comparison, that's roughly the same number as in the united states and, of course, we have ten times the catholic population here. so it's a colossal crisis. obviously the pope felt he needed to speak directly to the people of ireland in the wake of that. >> what are you hearing so far as far as support for what he did and maybe some criticism for this letter for maybe what wasn't in there? what are you hearing so far? i know reaction has to be coming in. >> yeah. i would say, t.j., the reaction is mixed. on the one hand the letter does clearly address a couple long-standing criticisms of the church. i think a root question from the beginning of this crisis has been sim

t.j.? >> wouldn't that be ironic. they actually help him out by having somebody on the ballot. we shall see. like you said, ed, he is otherwise occupied. not going to be home today. don't look for him there. thanks so much, buddy. we'll talk to you again soon. >> thanks, t.j. >> the former governor of alaska sarah palin is scheduled to kick off that tea party rally with a speech around 3:00 p.m. eastern time. we will bring that to you live. >>> well, another political movement, the coffee party usa, is looking for ways to expand its reach. we'll have that story, next. woman down from nasal allergy attack. but we've got the ammunition she needs: omnaris. (troops) omnaris! to the nose. (general) omnaris works differently than many other allergy medications. omnaris fights nasal allergy symptoms that occur from allergic inflammation... relieve those symptoms with omnaris. side effects may include headache, nosebleed and sore throat. her nose is at ease. we have lift off. (general) remember omnaris! ask your doctor. in the battle against nasal allergy symptoms, omnaris combats the cause. let's wind 'em with precision. open our throttle to even more selection. and turn that savi

look, t.j. here's the arc of this crisis. ten years ago the church didn't have a vocabulary for talking about its corporate failures on this issue. in the subsequent ten years they've had to figure out how to do it and now they can. we saw it just a week ago with the pope's letter to the catholics of ireland apologizing directly and with no sort of, you know, tinge of defensiveness for the way the church had let people down. what they don't yet have is a vocabulary for talking about the pope's personal failures. and i think what's happening now is in light of the revelations coming both in terms of the pope's munich years and also his years in the vatican, they're going to have to figure out how to talk about that as well. now, listen. one footnote to the way you set up this discussion. you said that cardinal ratzinger, now pope benedict, was the point man in the vatican for 25 years on this issue. that's not really true. he didn't become the point man until 2001 when john paul ii assigned him the responsibility. that's not t

t.j.-maxx. they give great deals. that's if you look.be upset with tiger and his interviews that are 9 minutes more than your sexual encounters. mike, i won't be embarassed if you don't be embarassed when your mom tells you about them. keep the match boxcar. not after what it has been through. mike writes, what does robot andy levy think about the mets' chances this season. excellent question. let's go to robot andy and ask. robot andy, what do you think about the new york mets' chances this season. >> thanks for that question, greg. and thank you, mike, from trenton, new jersey. i have been to trenton many times for cat shows and cat club meetings. i can't go back, however, not after the incident of 1990 ices is. i think it is going to go down in flames. they have no bench. their pitching stinks and they are all wooses. would you like me to take off my clothes and let my cats play on my chest? it is really not a bother. i quite enjoy it. >> i'm sure you do, robot andy levy. >> before i forget, the debate tomorrow is at skyline west 500

an employer they have the right to do this, but you really can't tell, t.j., unless your company has come forward and said hey, looku and here are the reasons why we're monitoring you. that's the only reason to know unless you ask someone on the i.t. team or tech team and they tell you so. so there are no visual signs for you to find out unless you end up doing something bad and you end up getting caught. i would check your human resources policy because it should state what type of tracking or monitoring should happen on any electronic equipment that's owned by the company. >> or you could just work while you're at work and try that and that will keep you out of trouble. >> imagine that. >> what kind of stuff are they using to track their employees? >> all types of things. some are hardware devices that you can use small usb drives like this that you can plug into a computer. smaller companies use this type of technology or they'll use a cd or software, rather that they'll install to all of the computers. on a larger company they can do this across a net work a lot faster. it is software and it is a combination of

t.j., if you, as so many victims groups are in ireland, and some of his critics are looking for resignationsat is certainly not in this letter. >> what else is out there right now. you talked about what is missing, but what else has been the criticism of this letter so far? yes, big step in putting it out, but, of course, there are going to be others, including some victims out there, who don't think he went quite far enough. >> reporter: absolutely because the church scandal isn't just confined in ireland, it's going on in germany, switzerland, austria, and the netherlands. he didn't refer to the widening scandals in those countries at all, especially in germany which is his home country. after this letter came out there was a press conference and the spokesman talked about that and said, lirsen, the pope deals with these situations case by case, the situation in germany, the context in germany is different to the one in ireland and he will deal with that when the time comes. obviously, this irish sex abuse scandal has been going on for quite a long time and the investigation into that scan

looks like he's on his ory. and it was while the last time these two teams played at verizon center, where -- he missed, t.j. knocked out of bounds. they said it was indiana possession. and on the inbound, brendon haywood called for a fall on mike dunleavy. they looked to the clock. they decided that there were 10ths of a second remaining, dunleavy hit three free throws to put his team up by 1. >> phil: i tell you what, there's been a pattern in the first two meetings that continues, indiana that gone to the line far more times in the first two games. they've had 25 more made free throws, shot 66 for washington's 49. also washington turning the ball over at a higher rate and giving up 48 points, 27 points off 27 turnovers for the indiana pacers, so the free throw shooting and turnovers have really had a big impact on those first two games. >> steve: that pattern continues here, 12-21 tore indiana, 4-9 for the wizards. >> phil: they only scored four points. but still, 15 points is -- is certainly within range. got to get a few stops an get your offense in geer. >> steve: pacers wanted detroit last night -- wo

t.j. >> really, they would want to see that part of your game? >> you know, the college admissions process is complicated. what they say they're lookings. who jump off the screen f you will. this is the way they communicate. this is why they want to accept the videos as part of the application. . it will never take the place of the essay. it's still important to be able to write eloquently on paper. but it's a supplement. a thousand of the 15,000 applicants took part this year. we'll see how many of them get in. they'll start getting acceptance letters soon. >> you talk about the essays, the grades, what percentage could that video be of your chance of getting in? >> they won't say. sometimes on paper these kids all start to look alike. you see them on video. you start to imagine them walking the halls, walking the campus. in that sense they say this will help. >> yeah. i don't know if they want that kid walking the halls, starting fires in the dorm rooms and whatnot. our next hour of "cnn sunday morning" starts now. good morning to you. it's palm sunday. >> good morning, everybody. 7:00 a.m. in atlanta. 6:00 a.m. in fargo. 3:00 a.m.

when you look at protests that are for liberal causes, there are those few people that take it over the line. they say this was similar to this. what you have, t.js is difficult for republicans. they have been trying to harness the energy of these tea-party protesters. something like this goes down. i saw the protests yesterday. there were only a couple problem areas. something like this goes down, looks bad. republicans find themselves in a really difficult spot because it. >> you hate to see that kind of uglyness. some people take it too fafrmt . >>> there are basically three directions the house can go. you are about to hear from lawmakers in every category. there is the yeses, the noes, undeclared or undecided. the undeclares means house members will not say how they intend to vote. undecided means they don't know yet. texas blue dog democrat henry cuellar was in that category. within the past 12 hours, he has joined the yes crowd. the reason? something he talked about yesterday. a majority of people in his district, he says, cannot afford health care. >> i've got a district that's in the top ten most uninsured district in the whole country.
