Zach Wahls Calls Boy Scouts Delayed Decision on Gay Ban an 'Abdication of Responsibility'
This article is part of our campaign on LGBTQ. Check out more reporting, research, and actions on LGBTQ →
The Boy Scouts of America announced today it will delay making a decision on its policy banning gay members.
The executive board announced in a statement that "after careful consideration and extensive dialogue within the Scouting family, along with comments from those outside the organization, the volunteer officers of the Boy Scouts of America's National Executive Board concluded that due to the complexity of this issue, the organization needs time for a more deliberate review of its membership policy."
The Boy Scouts stated the board will "further engage representatives of Scouting's membership and listen to their perspectives and concerns" before the National Council's 1,400 voting members assemble at the annual national meeting in May.
Zach Wahls, LGBT advocate and founder of Scouts for Equality, told Campus Progress the Boy Scouts' announcement to delay the policy decision indicates they aren't taking discrimination seriously.
"This is an abdication of responsibility. By postponing this decision, the BSA has caved to those who argue that their ideas about being gay trump basic Scouting values of kindness, courtesy and bravery. Scouting was built on a foundation of respect and dignity. Today, the BSA cracked that foundation," he said.
The organization announced last week that it would vote on changing the policy after a seven-month, national campaign by Scouts for Equality and overwhelming public outcry. Scout leaders invited the public to share their input last week, but overwhelmed with responses, they soon urged people to stop calling.
Republican leaders like Gov. Rick Perry (R-Texas) and former presidential hopeful Rick Santorum also joined the outcry, predicting a mass exodus if the Boy Scouts voted to allow gay members.
Many advocates of equality don't believe the proposed change, now tabled until May, promotes enough tolerance. Wahls said the proposal would be a solid step in the right direction but it still signifies a long road ahead to reach true equality within the organization.
"Essentially, what this policy change does is allow local units to discriminate instead of requiring them to discriminate," he told Campus Progress.
Wahls remains optimistic though and believes it is in the interest of the Boy Scouts National Executive Board to change the policy.
"I'd be shocked if most councils didn't move in a more inclusive direction," he said, based on the idea that discriminatory policies hurt local units' recruiting and fundraising efforts. "Membership has been going downhill for a while, and it seems pretty directly tied to this policy. Speaking as an Eagle Scout, I very much hope that this move helps rekindle BSA membership in inclusive units. I don't believe it's too late, but frankly, it's hard to say at this stage in the game."

Proposed Bills Require UND to Keep Fighting Sioux NicknameTwo North Dakota House bills would delay or halt the University of North Dakota from discarding its Fighting Sioux nickname and American Indian head logo, a job the school wants to finish this summer to avoid NCAA penalties.
By: Dale Wetzel, Associated Press
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Two North Dakota House bills would delay or halt the University of North Dakota from discarding its Fighting Sioux nickname and American Indian head logo, a job the school wants to finish this summer to avoid NCAA penalties.
Rep. Al Carlson, R-Fargo, said Monday he would introduce legislation to require UND to keep its nickname and logo. The bill, which was obtained by The Associated Press, orders Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem to consider filing an antitrust lawsuit against the NCAA if the association tries to sanction UND for keeping the nickname.
A separate bill, sponsored by Rep. David Monson, R-Osnabrock, says the university may not drop the nickname or logo unless the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe holds a referendum and tribal voters deny UND permission to continue using them.
Supporters of the nickname and logo have held out hope that they could be retained if the Standing Rock and Spirit Lake Sioux tribes endorsed them.
The Spirit Lake tribe held a referendum in April 2009, with 67 percent of voters declaring they wanted to keep the nickname and logo, which is a profile of a Sioux warrior with feathers and paint. The Standing Rock Sioux's tribal council has declined to hold a referendum, with the tribe's chairman, Charles Murphy, saying it had more pressing issues.
UND plans to eliminate most instances of the nickname by August. Sellers of Fighting Sioux memorabilia have until June 30 to clear out their stocks.
In April 2010, William Goetz, the chancellor of the state university system, ordered UND to begin a transition away from the nickname and logo, and "at this point, the University of North Dakota is continuing to comply" with the directive, UND President Robert Kelley said in a statement Monday.
Goetz's order came shortly after the North Dakota Supreme Court, ruling in a lawsuit filed by a group of Spirit Lake nickname supporters, concluded the state constitution gave the Board of Higher Education authority to drop the nickname and logo.
Stenehjem said the Supreme Court's decision would pose problems for the Carlson and Monson bills.
"The obstacle that they're going to face is the provision of the North Dakota Constitution that says that the Board of Higher Education has full authority over the institutions of higher education in North Dakota," Stenehjem said.
Jon Backes, president of the Board of Higher Education, called the bills "entirely a legislative issue."
"I think until the Legislature gets through their debate on the issue, I really don't have anything more to say about it," Backes said. "If they try to force the state board to do something, I guess we'd have to talk to our lawyer about the constitutionality of that, but to the extent that they think the process is worthy of significant debate . I encourage a robust debate in that regard."
The Fighting Sioux nickname, which for decades has withstood criticism that it demeans American Indians, ran into its strongest challenge in 2005, when the NCAA declared that it and other colleges' American Indian nicknames were hostile and abusive. The NCAA said UND would not be allowed to host postseason tournaments if the Grand Forks school kept the nickname.
The state sued. In October 2007, the two sides settled, with UND agreeing to retire the nickname after three years if the Spirit Lake and Standing Rock Sioux tribes did not endorse the nickname and logo.
Carlson said Monday he expected his bill would be popular with lawmakers and North Dakotans generally. He called the Fighting Sioux nickname "a proud tradition" and compared its prospective loss to forcing North Dakota State University to drop its Bison nickname and logo.
"It would be like somebody coming in and telling us that no longer could we have a bison, because those bison were somehow mistreated by the early settlers because they shot too many of them," Carlson said.

When Ben Howland came to UCLA, he did so out of love for the school and Wooden. When he talked about "Coach," he oozed Wooden.
When Alford said, "Coach is always someone I could talk to," he was referring to Knight.
Knight never spoke very highly of Wooden and Wooden once said, "I wouldn't want anybody I love to play for Bob Knight."
But now UCLA has hired a Knight disciple to lead its basketball program, and I can only imagine how much Knight is smiling with delight.
And I'm surprised Bruins' fans have no problem with it.
At the very least if a UCLA coach lost to Harvard we would have been attending a news conference to announce his dismissal.
"Jim Harrick lost to Princeton, didn't he, and he won a national championship," Guerrero fired back.
"Harrick won a national championship, then lost to Princeton and that was the beginning of the end for him," I said.
"Oh," Guerrero said.
Alford, meanwhile, was talking like someone who has already enjoyed incredible success.
"We did things at New Mexico that had never been done before," Alford said.
"Like lose to Harvard," I said, and welcome to L.A.

George Lucas: Sharing His Hope for Education (Transcript)
Marc Benioff: It is my greatest pleasure to be able to bring this program to you today, and I hope that the experience that you have with George Lucas and Bob Thurman in conversation will be as transformational for you in your lives and in your organizations as it has been for me. These are truly two of the great people we have in the world. So please welcome George Lucas and Robert Thurman.
George: I didn't enjoy school very much. Occasionally I would come up with a teacher who would inspire me, but as I got older and I began to work with computer technology and telling stories through film I began to wonder why couldn't we use these new technologies to help improve the educational process?
Narrator: Since 1991 the George Lucas Educational Foundation has chronicled what works in public education.
Noel: Imagine education at its best, and imagine bringing the resources of George Lucas to document it.
Narrator: We offer our award-winning media on several platforms including documentary films, Edutopia magazine, and our website edutopia.org showcasing ideal learning environments, providing concrete examples of how technology is creating new opportunities for teaching and learning.
Teacher: So you want to put your GPSs up this way.
Narrator: We focus on five key topic areas.
Teacher: What you need to do is you rescale it so that-
Narrator: Project learning: students engage in rigorous real-world projects to learn core subject matter and achieve deeper understanding. Cooperative learning: students learn to collaborate, communicate, and resolve conflicts by working together.
Student: This represents the scales of the alligator.
Narrator: Integrated studies: isolated individual subjects are presented in an interdisciplinary fashion that reflects modern knowledge and how students learn best.
Student: Nothing can stop us.
Narrator: Comprehensive assessment.
Student: Transportation--
Narrator: Assessments measure the full range of student ability through multiple measures including portfolios, performances, and tests.
Teacher: Writing, you're making steady progress.
Narrator: Teachers: teachers provide the human touch, the most valuable element in education by nurturing the students' interests and confidence.
Teacher: Look how smart you are.
Narrator: All of our media comes together at edutopia.org, a deep archive of constantly updated information available free on demand to a worldwide audience. We offer everything from classroom tips for teachers, to tools for district-wide change. And we invite users to join in the discussion offering their own suggestions and insights for improving education.
Student: Doctor, I was just curious how would this surgery differ if somebody already had a bypass surgery?
Doctor: Good question. Fundamentally it's the same operation.
George: The Educational Foundation has really become dedicated to taking all the best ideas that are out there that people are actually experimenting with in the real world and disseminating that information to anybody who wants it or needs it.
Ryan: Edutopia has been a resource that I've grasped onto as an administrator and somebody who truly believes in the power of integrating technology in the classroom. The video clips in particular on the website connected to the stories offer a powerful message.
Marco: It shows you examples of how it's working in places where people thought they wouldn't work or schools that have challenges like mine. They go out and discover the gold and they share it with everybody else.
Teacher: Beautiful and we're going to bring it right over here.
Student: Are we going to have enough room for the whole webpage just from that one line?
George: I strongly believe that education is the single most important job that the human race has. I'm very excited that we have been able to find a little spot in the educational community where we can help give people the tools they need to go into their own community and improve their own educational systems in their own way.
Narrator: Experience edutopia at www.edutopia.org.
Robert: That's great, George. Well it's really great of you to come, George and to share your passion with people.
George: Well it's great to be here.
Robert: That's good and thanks to Mark and to the community of the wonderful community of Salesforce.com. And maybe we should start with your own story, George. Like let us know a little like how did you get to this passion? You're the movie-maker, Star Wars, the whole thing, Yoda. Did Yoda tell you to get into education?
George: [laughs] Well, when I started out in the school K through 12 I didn't do very well at all. I just didn't fit in. I guess I was too much of a daydreamer. I really wasn't a big fan of math and science and all of the curriculum that they put inside the box and I lived outside the box and so I didn't really have a good time. It wasn't really until I hit college that I began to enjoy the educational process because I had more control over what I was learning.
Robert: Uh-huh.
George: And I am very interested in social science. And I was a history major in high school but I became an anthropology major in junior college where I started and suddenly it was a lot of fun and I was doing much better at it. And I realized that learning is a fun thing to do.
Robert: Uh-huh.
George: Especially if you're interested.
Robert: Right.
George: And that was the primary thing. So I went to film school. I discovered film school. I had no interest in film before I got there. I thought I was interested in art and I wanted to be an illustrator, and a friend of mine said "Well they have a photography school at U.S.C." but I discovered it wasn't a photography school. It was actually a cinema photography school. And it wasn't even a cinematography school, it was a cinema school and they teach you to make movies and I said "This is insane. You mean you go to university to learn how to make movies?" And but I went there, my first semester I fell in love with it, realized I was very good at it and it became a passion. I was very fortunate because your passion, finding your passion of what you want to do in life is the single most difficult thing you can do.
Robert: Right.
George: And if you can find it, if you can find it early, it's just a fantastic advantage over everything because then no matter what happens, you're going to be happy.
Robert: Right.
George: And so later on I was, you know, we were sort of on the leading edge of using computers to develop special effects and things in the movies, and I was a storyteller and I said "What if I just combine these two things and built a sort of a learning machine, a multi-media project?"
Robert: Right.
George: And I think this would be a great way to learn. It would be much more interesting, much more engaging. Started that which basically was the beginning of the foundation, and talked to a lot of educators. We bring educators in for a day twice a week in all different fields, all different areas, experts for years we did this. And they kept saying "Look, don't build a model of multimedia. Don't show how mu-- what we need is to be able to tell the story of how to integrate technology into schools. We go to conferences. We only get an hour. It takes us a whole hour to explain it. If you could tell the story, you could do it in 10 or 15 minutes using visuals and movies."
Robert: Uh-huh.
George: "And then we can spend the rest of the time answering questions and being very effective."
Robert: Uh-huh.
George: And what needs to be told is the story of what education should be.
Robert: Mm-hm.
George: It seemed like a very modest thing and not very glamorous but these people were so passionate about it that I picked it up and took it on. It's been quite a while now about 12 years.
Robert: Uh-huh.
George: That we've been doing this.
Robert: Right.
George: And what we do is take the best practices-
Robert: Uh-huh.
George: Of what education will look like using technology-
Robert: Uh-huh.
George: Using video, using the Internet, using computers and multimedia in the classroom and what it does is it opens a whole different paradigm of the way we learn. We've been saying for ever since I've been born-
Robert: Uh-huh.
George: We've got to change education. We got to make it work. It's got to be better. It's not working. What can we do? And let's throw more money at it. Let's do this. But the great thing is technology, the digital age-
Robert: Right.
George: The computer, is going to do that.
Robert: Right.
George: It cannot stay like you were 200 years ago. It just isn't going to work.
Robert: Right.
George: So what I've dedicated myself to doing is saying okay you got your computers.
Robert: Uh-huh.
George: But don't put them in a little classroom and teach people Word Perfect two days a week as an elective.
Robert: Uh-huh.
George: Because the kids already know that anyway. Take the computers and use them as a tool like a pencil to help the educational process.
Robert: Uh-huh.
George: To help the learning process for the students and out of that we realized that it facilitates age-old techniques of learning which is cooperative learning, interactive working.
Robert: Right.
George: It's project-based learning is the cobbler.
Robert: Right.
George: Interactive cooperative learning is Aristotle.
Robert: Right, right, right.
George: He never taught anything. He never said "Well the way you do it is you do this and this and this." He always said "Well how would you do it? Here's a problem. What do you think about that?"
Robert: Right.
George: And then he would either-
Robert: It's a dialogue with people.
George: It was a dialogue. It was a thing where the students did the learning and the teacher was there to facilitate.
Robert: Right.
George: And to say "Well have you thought of this?"
Robert: Right.
George: Lots of great theory but there's a big hole right here.
Robert: Right.
George: Think about that.
Robert: Right.
George: That is the way education should be.
Robert: Right.
George: And it's worked for thousands and thousands of years and that's the way young children learn. They learn out of curiosity. Kids only have one job in their life, and that is to grow up and be an adult.
Robert: Right.
George: That's all they want. And so you give them any kind of adult work, they'll do it and they'll be very excited about it.
Robert: Right.
George: So instead of saying "Learn math", you say "Here I want you to build an airplane but it has to be a real airplane. We're going to simulate it here on the computer."
Robert: Uh-huh.
George: "But you have to learn all the science. You have to learn all the math, you have to learn all the stuff in order to get to build this airplane."
Robert: Right, right.
George: So they learn it because they need it as a tool and they know why they're learning it. That suddenly engages them in a way and they are learning to do something.
Robert: Uh-hum.
George: Because our philosophy is you teach kids how to find information. You teach them how to assess that information and see how true it is, and then you use it in a creative endeavor to build something, to do something.
Robert: Right, like I was just thinking like in geography class, right, Google Earth get that available to kids on their hands. You know teachers giving a lecture and they can zoom in on Saskatchewan. You mentioned earlier-
George: Right.
Robert: Sometime to find out where Saskatchewan was when you were little.
George: Well we've- what we've done is say we have narrowed our programs into just informing people.
Robert: Yes.
George: We gather the information. We say "Google Earth, look on edutopia. You'll see one of the tools you have available to you is Google Earth if you do geography."
Robert: Right.
George: But it shows you all the things that are available to you.
Robert: Mm-hm.
George: But it also shows-
Robert: You have that on the website, teachers can use that.
George: Yeah, and it shows you then how to organize a classroom-
Robert: Uh-huh.
George: Around these ideas using the technology: cameras, computers, the Internet, to enhance the learning experience.
Robert: Uh-hum.
George: And you can do it, there's a zillion different ways. We show the ones that are actually being used now.
Robert: Right.
George: All this is very, very, new and all we're trying to do is make it more available, the information more available.
Robert: Right.

You would be surprised how many schools don't know about Edutopia.
cool, but
It's a really cool conversation, BUT was it necessary to put the whole edutopia ad before it? :)

Karon Fuller receives CUPA Midwest Award Karon Fuller, director of Human Resources at The University of South Dakota, recently received an excellence award at the joint Southern and Midwest regional conference of College and University Personnel Association (CUPA) in Myrtle Beach, SC.
She was awarded the CUPA Midwest Individual Award of Excellence in Human Resource Administration.
"I was thrilled Karon was recognized for her accomplishment, hard work, and dedication to the Board of Regents system. The recognition is long overdue," said Lisa Sorenson, USD Human Resources assistant and one of the peers who nominated Fuller for the award.
Fuller began her career at USD as a secretary in Personnel Services in 1971. While working and raising a family, Fuller earned a bachelor of science degree in business administration from USD in May 1978. Later that September, Fuller was named director of personnel and continues to serve in this capacity.
Her duties encompass the employment process, encompass and classification, employee relations, benefits administration and training.
Fuller was instrumental in the development and implementation of a classification and compensation plan in 1995 for USD non-faculty exempt employees which include administrative and professional staff.
"We were the first Board of Regents institution in our state to create such a system," said Fuller, noting USD hired an outside consultant to help research, design, and institute the new system. "We brought in an outsider to avoid internal bias and thus lend more credibility to the system. Despite the changes that were made, little resistance and much support was given across the board at USD."
"As a result of the changes made, many salaries were increased. Funds were allocated to bring these positions up to par," Sorensen said.
"For example, many research positions at the USD medical school received pay increases as a direct result of the new policy structure," Fuller added.
To date USD and SDSU are the only two Board of Regents (BOR) Institutions with such programs.
Fuller was also instrumental in the development of an appraisal system, which ties performance to pay, which was created in 1999 for these non-faculty positions.

FISHNET stockings, hot pants and erm ... mouthguards have been pulled out of cupboards and the date has been set.
The new season of Newcastle Roller Derby begins this Saturday and that wild mix of sex kitten and serious skater will be back at Gateshead Indoor Sports World.
With names like Baroness Von Brutal, Belt'er Goodrem and several serious looking tattoos among them, these are athletes you don't want to mess with.
Reigning champs the Habour Hellcats will be looking to claim more bruises and victories after winning all three games last season.
However the derby has been turned up side down with some major line-up changes.
Fort Smashleys' new co-captain is Carly Tozer aka Babycakes and Harbour Hellcats have named their top dog as Kate Folbigg (or FannieTastic to her fans). Both women have swapped teams for this new season.
''Spectators will do a double take on Saturday,'' FannieTastic said.
''We have spent three seasons on the opposite teams.''
Babycakes will make her co-captaincy debut with the Fort Smashleys.
''This is the first time ever I've been a captain of a sports team. I'm not usually directing other people,'' she said.
Not that Babycakes has anything to worry about. She will be supported by plenty of ''fresh meat'' (women in training to enter the league) this season.
When they are not smashing it up on the roller derby rink at Gateshead, Babycakes and FannieTastic lead rather normal lives.
FannieTastic works in finance and Babycakes is a PhD student in environmental sciences at Newcastle University.
Fort Smashleys versus Harbour Hellcats will take place at Gateshead Indoor Sports World at 6.30pm on Saturday.

"Once again the elite claimed that only global governance could save humanity from certain destruction and this time the elite would succeed in setting up their world body. In April 1945 … the United Nations was founded by the victors of World War II. The United Nations complex was then built in
"World War II facilitated the American acceptance of a global 'peacekeeping" institution - the United Nations. After the U.S. had rejected the first attempt to create such an institution in the League of Nations, the Illuminati decided to create an arm of the Rothschild funded Round Table groups which could help influence western society towards the embracement of globalism." -Fritz Springmeier, "Bloodlines of the Illuminati"
In 1948 George Orwell wrote 1984, another quasi-fiction novel about the big brother control-grid surveillance societies to come. Orwell said, "If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face forever." On February 7th, 1950 FDR's financial advisor, international banker James Paul Warburg stated before the United States Senate Foreign Relations Committee that "We shall have World Government, whether or not we like it. The only question is whether World Government will be achieved by conquest or consent." Two days later the Senate Foreign Relations Subcommittee introduced Senate Concurrent Resolution 66 stating that the United Nations Charter "should be changed to provide a true world government constitution." In 1952, globalist and Committee of 300 member Bertrand Russell wrote "The Impact of Science on Society." Russell, like Wells, wrote extensively about world government and the scientific dictatorships of the future:
"There is, it must be confessed, a psychological difficulty about a single world government. The chief source of social cohesion in the past, I repeat, has been war: the passions that inspire a feeling of unity are hate and fear. These depend upon the existence of an enemy, actual or potential. It seems to me that a world government could only be kept in being by force, not by the spontaneous loyalty that now inspires a nation at war." -Bertrand Russell, "The Impact of Science on Society" (36)
"It is possible nowadays for a government to be very much more oppressive than any government could be before there was scientific technique. Propaganda makes persuasion easier for the government; public ownership of halls and paper makes counter-propaganda more difficult; and the effectiveness of modern armaments makes popular risings impossible. No revolution can succeed in a modern country unless it has the support of at least a considerable section of the armed forces. But the armed forces can be kept loyal by being given a higher standard of life than that of the average worker, and this is made easier by every step in the degradation of ordinary labour. Thus the very evils of the system help to give it stability. Apart from external pressure, there is no reason why such a regime should not last for a very long time." -Bertrand Russell, "The Impact of Science on Society" (61)
"A scientific world society cannot be stable unless there is a world government ... unless there is a world government which secures universal birth control, there must from time to time be great wars, in which the penalty of defeat is widespread death by starvation ... Unless, at some stage, one power or group of powers emerges victorious and proceeds to establish a single government of the world with a monopoly of armed forces, it is clear that the level of civilization must decline until scientific warfare becomes impossible - that is until science is extinct." -Bertrand Russell, "The Impact of Science on Society" (117)
Shortly after Russell's book, fellow Committee of 300 member Aldous Huxley wrote "Brave New World" about a future pharmacological scientific dictatorship in which the drugged citizens are described as "smiling depressives that love their servitude." Aldous Huxley's grandfather T.H. Huxley was another Committee of 300 member known as "
"The older dictators fell because they could never supply their subjects with enough bread, enough circuses, enough miracles, and mysteries. Under a scientific dictatorship, education will really work…most men and women will grow up to love their servitude and will never dream of revolution. There seems to be no good reason why a thoroughly scientific dictatorship should ever be overthrown." -Aldous Huxley, "Brave
In his 1962 publication, "The Future of Federalism" bloodline governor of New York and CFR member, Nelson Rockefeller, promoted the New World order: "The nation-state is becoming less and less competent to perform its international political tasks … These are some of the reasons pressing us to lead vigorously toward the true building of a new world order … Sooner perhaps than we may realize … there will evolve the bases for a federal structure of the free world." Years later on July 26, 1968 campaigning for the presidency, Nelson Rockefeller told the Associated Press that "as president, he would work toward the creation of a new world order."
Bloodline president and CFR member Richard Nixon was quoted in the October 1967 Foreign Affairs stating: "The developing coherence of Asian regional thinking is reflected in a disposition to consider problems and loyalties in regional terms, and to evolve regional approaches to development needs and to the evolution of a new world order."

Progress and peace and justice are attainable. So we say to all peoples and governments: Let us fashion together a new world order."
Later in October, the 24th, 1975, the World Affairs Council of
Also in 1975 Richard A. Falk wrote a book called "On the Creation of a Just World Order." In one section of the book called "Toward the New World Order: Modest Methods and Drastic Visions," Falk wrote, "The existing order is breaking down at a very rapid rate, and the main uncertainty is whether mankind can exert a positive role in shaping a new world order or is doomed to await collapse in a passive posture. We believe a new order will be born no later than early in the next century and that the death throes of the old and the birth pangs of the new will be a testing time for the human species."
Another whistle-blowing Congressman was Larry P. McDonald, who was then killed onboard a plane suspiciously shot down by soviets. In 1976 he said, "The drive of the Rockefellers and their allies is to create a one-world government combining supercapitalism and Communism under the same tent, all under their control.... Do I mean conspiracy? Yes I do. I am convinced there is such a plot, international in scope, generations old in planning, and incredibly evil in intent."

Now we can see a new world coming into being, a world in which there is the very real prospect of a new world order." -President George Bush, State of the Union Address, September 11, 1991
"George Bush has been surrounding himself with people who believe in one-world government. They believe that the Soviet system and the American system are converging. The vehicle to bring this about is the United Nations, the majority of whose 166 member states are socialist, atheist, and anti-American." -

An expert says big booths are out, educational theaters are in.
Josh Haynie, national sales manager with Freeman's Washington National Office, told a crowd at the ASAE and The Center for Association Leadership's Annual Conference, held in Toronto in August, that the economic downturn, coupled with all the new pharma codes and regulations, will make medical shows the least likely of all markets to return to the heydays they enjoyed in 2005 any time soon. Exhibitors are going to continue to reduce booth size, he said. But, he added, "I'm not Decorator Little running around saying, 'The sky is falling! The sky is falling!'" Educational theaters are becoming more popular and could go a long way toward offsetting the revenue hit from reduced booth space.
"You have to understand that you [the expo organizer] only get 20 cents on every dollar [exhibitors] spend on their exhibits," he said. But with educational theaters, which don't require all the shipping, drayage, and other exhibition costs a typical booth entails, you get pretty much all the money exhibitors spend on it, without incurring any extra costs other than AV, lighting, signage, and other general overhead costs. "Pharma companies love them because whatever they're spending with you [on the theater] is their total cost, and they still get leads if you scan everyone who attends." While you may get the same $5,000 for a booth or a theater, Haynie further clarified, that booth actually could cost three times as much to the exhibitor.

About this title:
There are two versions of Thomas Robert Malthus's Essay on the Principle of Population. The first, published anonymously in 1798, was so successful that Malthus soon elaborated on it under his real name. The rewrite, culminating in the sixth edition of 1826, was a scholarly expansion and generalization of the first. In this work Malthus argues that there is a disparity between the rate of growth of population (which increases geometrically) and the rate of growth of agriculture (which increases only arithmetically). He then explores how populations have historically been kept in check.

Rifle hunters lucky to spot elk on public land

Graham, ASU looking for 'signature win' vs. USC
But Saturday's game at USC will thin the herd of contenders even more. A loss for either team would be their fourth conference defeat and would effectively eliminate them from the division race.
On Thursday, Graham acknowledged that a win over the 19th-ranked Trojans would be huge for a lot of reasons.
"Obviously, this is one of those wins we need right now for this program -- a signature win," Graham said. "We have a great plan, we've talked about the mental aspect of it and making sure we don't have mental mistakes because that's the thing that hurt us last week."
Last week's loss at Oregon State was a missed opportunity for the Sun Devils to collect a "signature win". Arizona State hung with the 11th-ranked Beavers in the first half, but was outplayed in the second half in a 36-26 loss.
The last time ASU beat a ranked opponent on the road was all the way back in 2002, when they toppled then-6th-ranked Oregon 45-42. Since then, in road games against ranked foes, the Sun Devils have gone 0-16. The average margin of defeat has been 17.4 points.
Graham is happy with the way the Sun Devils have played this season, but acknowledges it's time to take the next step.
"We've won some ball games, and I think, made great progress and done some great things," he said. "For these guys to go and win this game when everybody else has pretty much counted us out and given up on us as far as having a chance to win the South, if you can and win that thing, it's immeasurable what it does for you."
Southern California has long been a staple in ASU's recruiting efforts, so a win over the Trojans in their backyard could do wonders for the future of the Sun Devil program.
"These are the kind of wins we have to have, that's why we're here," Graham said. "I think it's very critical."

Is it my eyes, or is that a very wide track? The turns look immense, with short straights.

Re: xl galan videos
I didn't say it was short. If the turns are wider they have to be longer, consequently the straights will be shorter. Frankly it makes more sense, if you have the room.

Instead, a Lisfranc foot sprain sustained against Indianapolis on Oct. 7 required surgery on Wednesday, coach Mike McCarthy announced on Thursday. Benson's season, which started with so much promise, is over after four-plus games, 248 rushing yards and one touchdown.
The Packers will move forward with the recipe of the past three games, with a mix-and-match of Alex Green and James Starks that's based on down-and-distance and other game situations.
"Cedric I felt was playing very well each and every week as we moved forward," McCarthy said. "With that, we've been rotating Alex Green, James Starks and now having John Kuhn back, I feel we have a good rotation. It's just really finding the things they all do well and play to that and have that in sync with the run-blocking unit. I thought the way we started the last game (was encouraging) and I thought Arizona was a good game. If we can just kind of find that rhythm, that definitely would benefit us."
Green leads the team with 97 attempts for 302 yards and Starks has added 56 attempts for 189 yards. The averages, though, haven't been good enough. Green is averaging a paltry 3.1 per attempt and Starks is at 3.4.
The meager production, of course, doesn't all fall on the backs. In 11 games, the Packers have averaged better than 4.0 yards per attempt just four times: 4.1 against New Orleans in Week 4, 6.21 against Indianapolis in Week 5, 4.51 against Arizona in Week 9 and 4.46 against New York last week.
"At times, a back might miss a hole. At times, a lineman might miss a block," offensive coordinator Tom Clements said. "We have to block consistently and the backs have to see the hole consistently. We have to be better at falling forward and getting the linemen pushing the pile, so instead of a 3-yard gain, it's a 4- or 5-yard gain. It's a combination. Everyone has to do their job."
At least the Packers have had time to adjust, and the hope is the team can find something resembling consistency as the stretch run starts on Sunday against Minnesota.
"If you don't have a good player, it's a loss, but we've been playing without him for a long time now," Clements said. "It's unfortunate. I'm sure he's upset. It would have been nice to have him back but he's not coming back, so you've got to do what you've got to do."
While Benson's production was underwhelming, position coach Alex Van Pelt and the backs frequently said Benson served as a leader and mentor.
"He's meant a lot to me," Green said. "He's a great person on and off the field. He definitely taught me a lot about reading defenses and being a disciplined runner and how to make reads quicker and pre-snap reads. He's definitely helped me out a lot and, moving forward, he's going to continue helping me out, whether he's here or not, because that's the kind of guy he is."
Out: CB Sam Shields (ankle); DB Charles Woodson (collarbone). Did not participate: WR Donald Driver (thumb); LB Clay Matthews (hamstring); TE Andrew Quarless (knee); RB Johnny White (concussion); DE C.J. Wilson (knee). Limited: LB Terrell Manning (shoulder); T Marshall Newhouse (wrist); DT Ryan Pickett (quad); S Sean Richardson (back). Full: S M.D. Jennings (rib); WR Greg Jennings (groin/abdomen).
Pickett returned after missing Wednesday and M.D. Jennings went from limited to full, while Quarless was downgraded and Richardson was added.
Did not participate: WR Percy Harvin (ankle). Limited: LB Jasper Brinkley (shoulder); T Phil Loadholt (knee); TE Kyle Rudolph (concussion/shoulder); S Harrison Smith (concussion); CB Antoine Winfield (knee). Full: DE Jared Allen (shoulder/back); DT Letroy Guion (foot); P Chris Kluwe (left knee); RB Adrian Peterson (shoulder).
"We held Percy back," coach Leslie Frazier told reporters in Eden Prairie after practice. "He got a little work [Wednesday], so we will see where he is [Friday]. But the fact that we were out here on the grass, we just wanted to give it another chance see where he is and then we will try him out [Friday] if we can."
— Receivers coach Edgar Bennett had little to say when asked about Greg Jennings. "He looks good. He looks good. I don't want to help our opponent. He looks good. He's ready to play."
— Dave Robinson and Herb Adderley will meet fans and sign copies of their book, "Lombardi's Left Side," on Friday from 4-5:30 p.m. at the Festival Foods on West Mason Street and from 6-7:30 p.m. at the Redwood Inn. On Saturday, they'll be at the Packers Pro Shop from 12:30-2 p.m. and the Barnes & Noble on Oneida Street from 7-8:30 p.m. On Sunday, they'll be on the Club Level at Lambeau Field from 10:30-11:30 a.m.
— Fans attending Sunday's game are encouraged to bring toys or cash donations for a Toys for Tots collection. Marines will be stationed throughout the parking lots to collect donations prior to gate openings and will be at the gates starting at 10 a.m.
— The Packers are listed seventh in Bovada.lv's Super Bowl odds. Houston and New England are 9/2, San Francisco is 5/1, Denver is 11/2, Atlanta is 17/2, the Giants are 9/1 and Green Bay is 10/1. The Packers were 15/2 last week.

According to the CDC, approximately 500 million dental visits are made in the U.S. each year.
Yet, many children and adults needlessly suffer from oral diseases that could be prevented.
With proper preventive care, such as regular checkups, brushing, flossing, fluoridation, and dental sealants, the risk for dental disease can greatly be reduced.

If you believe the headline seasonally adjusted figures, in August everything in the labour force was falling. Employment fell, unemployment fell - and workforce participation fell, to its lowest level since 2006.
There's no sense in that, so we have to remember that it's just a survey, and focus instead on the trend figures, in which the Bureau of Statistics smooths out the zigs and zags of the seasonally adjusted data. And the trend figures are just as sombre.
In the past three months, the bureau estimates, Australia's working age population has grown by 64,000. But in net terms, just 8000 jobs have been created, and full-time jobs have fallen by 1000. Yet unemployment rose by just 4000.
That leaves 52,000 people unaccounted for. Where did they go? According to the bureau surveys, out of the workforce altogether. Some are studying, or minding the kids, or taking an overseas holiday. Some have retired. But where are the rest of them?
If this was just happening over three months, you wouldn't worry about it. But the bureau says this has been the story of the Australian labour market since the end of 2010: when our workforce participation peaked at 65.9 per cent of all adults aged 15 and over, with a record 62.5 per cent in work.
Since then, the adult population has grown by 386,000, yet in net terms we have added just 36,000 full-time jobs, and 95,000 jobs in all. The unemployment rate has barely moved, because the number of those who say they are looking for work has grown by only 21,000.
But the number of people who say they have no job and are not looking for one has swollen by 270,000. That is, 70 per cent of the growth in our adult population is in people outside the workforce. Either they have given up the search, or don't need to work any more - or the figures are kaput.
Whatever the truth, two things are clear from today's figures:
- The growth in jobs is almost entirely in one state: Western Australia. In trend terms, the bureau estimates WA has added 51,000 full-time jobs, yet the rest of Australia has lost 13,000. There's been a bit of growth in New South Wales (11,000), Queensland (5000) and the territories, but in that year Victoria has lost 21,500 full-time jobs, South Australia 19,000 (one job in 30) and Tasmania 6700 (one job in 23).
- The mainstream Australian economy is far weaker than the 3.7 per cent growth rate (unveiled yesterday) implies. As the Reserve Bank has pointed out, at least half our growth is coming from the minersphere - mining investment, and sectors depending on it - which is at best 15 to 20 per cent of the economy.
There are other sectors recording good growth - the demand for healthcare never stops growing, government cuts have yet to hit the bureaucracy, the professions and the finance sector just keep growing - but there are big sectors such as manufacturing and retailing that have been shedding jobs because of the high dollar and high household debt.
Today's figures really don't change the story of the Australian economy. Take out mining, and activity is weak, and at risk of getting weaker as Europe's woes mount to a crisis, federal and state budget cuts start to bite, and the free fall in global iron ore prices puts the brakes on mining investment.
More interest rate cuts will come, but the Reserve Bank will want to time them to have maximum impact. In the meantime, things will stay tough for teenagers seeking full-time jobs, with their unemployment rate stuck at 23.5 per cent.

England cruise to Twenty20 World Cup title
Craig Kieswetter scored a wonderful half century to steer England to a comprehensive 7 wicket victory over Australia to secure the Twenty20 World Cup title thanks to a wonderful innings from Kieswetter.
Having built up some momentum at the end of their innings; Australia started off brighter with the ball and their aggressive start produced an early break through with Shaun Tait picking up the wicket of Michael Lumb (2) at the end of the second over.
After enjoying successful opening partnerships throughout the tournament with Lumb, Craig Kieswetter looked on edge but a 10 minute daily in proceedings because of a broken sight screen seemed to steady his nerves.
Kieswetter smashed the first ball he faced from Dirk Nannes after the delay through the covers for a well placed boundary.
With Australias main target; Kevin Pietersen at the crease early in the innings the Aussies knew another wicket would swing the balance of the game in their favor after Englands shaky start.
To their credit through; Kieswetter and Pietersen didnt panic, when ever the pressure was increasing they found the boundary as they laid the foundations of a partnership that reached 50 in the 8th over.
With the runs starting to flow England targeted the bowling of Shane Watson who conceded 28 runs from just 2 overs as Australia were put onto the back foot thanks to some aggressive batting from England.
After failing to capitalise on a number of good starts throughout the tournament Kieswetter brought up his half century to leave England needing just 46 runs from 50 balls.
With the pressure growing Nannes conceded 10 runs from the first two balls of the 12th over to put England in the box seat with the Aussies enable to stem the flow of runs.
With England on the verge of victory Australia brought Steve Smith back into the attack and he struck with his first ball to remove Pietersen (47) who attempted to smash the leg spinner out of the ground.
Kieswetter (63) quickly followed after he left a straight delivery from Mitchell Johnson which clattered into the middle stump to leave England needing 27 runs from 35 balls.
With Paul Collingwood and Eoin Morgan at the crease the tables were turned with Australia increasing the pressure with the runs drying up after the partnership of Kieswetter and Pietersen.
The tension was mounting with light rain falling in the distance but Morgan relived Englands worries with a six off the bowling of Smith to leave them needing just 15 runs.
Collingwood smashed Watson for a six in the next over as England completed their run chase to claim their first ever ICC title.
Having won the toss Collingwood decided to bat first and England who got off to a fantastic start picking up 3 early wickets to leave the Aussies on the back foot.
David Hussey (59) and Cameron White (30) played a vital role in allowing the Aussies to defend such a high total after a vital partnership of 50 runs in just 6.2 overs.
Having won the toss England got off to a dream start by picking up the wicket of Shane Watson (2) in the first over after the opening flashed at a wide delivery from Ryan Sidebottom and although Craig Kieswetter couldnt hold onto the catch Graeme Swann was on hand to take a fine reaction catch at 1st slip.
Having suffered a disappointing tournament so far with the bat Aussie skipper Michael Clarke moved himself up the order and came in at number 3 but his first involvement in the game was the running out of big hitting David Warner.
Clarke pushed away a good-length ball from Tim Bresnan into the covers and after hesitating he set off for a single which left Warner running at the strikers end. Michael Lumb picked the ball up and fired in a throw which hit the stumps to leave the Aussies in trouble.
Brad Haddin (1) came in at number 4 but the wicket keeper barely had time to play himself in before he was walking back to the dugout after he was brilliantly caught by Kieswetter to give Sidebottom his second wicket of the game.
Although TV replies showed Haddin didnt make any contact with the ball; umpire Billy Doctrove didnt hesitate in giving the wicket keeper out to leave the Aussies 8-3 after just 2.1 overs.
Clarke and David Hussey steadied the ship but England kept the pressure on the batsman restricting them to a score of just 24-3 during the power play overs.
Although the pair built a vital partnership of 37; Clarke sill struggled, with his batting letting him down once against as he scored a scratchy 27 from 27 balls before he was caught by Collingwood to leave the Aussies 45-4 thanks to another brilliant spell of bowling from Swann.
Together with Michael Yardy the pair bowled 7 overs of spin as England increased the pressure on the Aussies despite Yardy conceding 21 runs in the 12th over.
With Clarke gone Hussey was joined at the crease by Cameron White and the pair put on a vital partnership of 50 runs before Luke Wright struck in the 15th over to end Whites (30) innings.
With the batsman starting to get the better of the bowlers the Hussey brothers performed a re-guard action building a vital partnership of 47 as the Aussies brought themselves back into the game.

Written by Yoram Ettinger
Nov. 2, 2008
Yoram Ettinger
Jerusalem Boardroom #130,
Right Side News has received the following report from Yoram Ettinger and the excellent results from an attractive business climate and conservative fiscal policy. If only our own representatives in Washington, D.C. would be good stewards of the tax-payer's monies instead of lining their own pockets with special interests, pork barrel earmarks and un-restrained government programs. Right Side News commmends Israel's finance sector, high tech industry (attracting investments) and the attractive business climate they have established by implementing declining tax rates. They have no Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac.
1. Israel constitutes an attractive post-meltdown market. So far - in spite of its reliance on export and overseas investments - Israel has remained a relative island in a global economic meltdown, due to its fiscally-responsible policies:
*Israel's banking system has been relatively-responsible, scrutinizing loans and mortgages (e.g. lucky home owners receive 60%-70% mortgage).
*No real estate bubble.
*Israel's budget deficit has been minimal in recent years - 1.2% and 1% of GDP in 2006 and 2007 respectively.
*Inflation has been under control since the 400%+ rates of the 1980s: 2.5% in 2005, -0.1% in 2006 and 3.4% in 2007 (largely due to rise of price of commodities and oil, which has recently subsided).
*Interest rate (currently 3.75%) has been around 4%.
*Government expenditures/GDP ratio has declined to lowest level since late 1960s - 44.9%.
*Debt/GDP ratio has been shrinking from 95% in 2005 to 80.6% in 2007.
*Declining tax rates.
*Solid Shekel - currently 3.7 per $, 3.5 during 2007, 4.3 in 2006.
2. Israel constitutes an attractive post-meltdown market, due to the aforementioned fundamentals, in addition to its unique high tech industries, which are top heavy on cutting-edge engineering and tangible technologies/products and low on dot.com companies. While the scope of overseas investment, in Israel, has declined substantially, due to the meltdown on the investors' side, the flow of investment by astute investors persists. They invest in lower market valuations, expecting attractive "Exits" during global economic recovery.
3. Oracle has acquired Israel's Primavera (550 employees), which is Oracle's 2nd R&D center in Israel. The first one was acquired in 2006 (Globes, Oct. 20). The Swiss giant Von Roll has acquired 80% of Israel's Enerco for $75MN (Globes, Sept. 17). The New Jersey-based Phibro Animal Health, a global leader in medicated additive feed, acquired Israel's Avik for $47MN. Phibro operates two plants in Israel (Globes, Oct. 17, 2008).
4. GE Pension Fund, IBM and Caisse de Depot et Placement du Quebec have been among the investors in Israel's Genesis VC's 4 funds. Genesis has recently completed its $100MN 4th fund (Globes Business Daily, Oct. 23).
5. Greylock Partners raised additional $50MN to their current ($150MN) Israel-dedicated fund (Globes, Oct. 8).
6. Morgan Stanley, Cisco and Europe's Index Ventures co-led a $63MN 4th round by Israel's Optier (Globes, Sept. 24). Japan's Pacific Technology Fund led a $20MN 3rd round of private placement by Israel's Altair (Globes, Sept. 23). Spark Capital and Red Point co-led a $13MN 2nd round by Israel's AdaptTV (Globes, Sept. 24). Canada's Blackberry Partners launched its initial three investments, one of them in Israel's WorldMate - leading an $8MN round of private placement (Globes, Oct. 30). Silicon Valley Bank has extended an $8MN credit to Israel's Mintera (Globes, Oct. 20). River Cities Capital and Early Stage Partners led a $7MN round by Israel's Simbionix (Globes, Oct. 20). Britain's GP Bullhound Sidecar and dotCorp Assets Management invested $5MN in Israel's MyThings (Globes, Oct. 16). Bessemer and Mangrove invested $3.5MN in Israel's Wix (Globes, Oct. 16).
