Sustainable Living on Campus
This presentation will introduce the concept of sustainability and why it is important to students' lives, provide information about the sustainability goals the University and President Pastides have set, will encourage students to adopt new green habits, and tell them how they can get involved with sustainability on campus. It is hoped that after hearing the presentation students will have a better understanding of sustainability and what they can do to be more sustainable while on campus and once they leave USC.
Learning Outcomes
The Sustainable Living on Campus presentation supports University 101 learning outcomes:
III. Prepare Students for Responsible Lives in a Diverse, Interconnected, and Changing World
Describe and demonstrate principles of responsible citizenship within and beyond the campus community.
Knowledge of sustainable practices and an awareness of environmental issues are increasingly expected from responsible citizens on and off the University campus. With more and more focus on issues like energy use and the amount of trash we produce, people will be expected to understand recycling and conservation and how these things impact not only their lives by the lives of others. This presentation educates students on what sustainability is, how it relates to their life on campus and how what we do here at USC can impact people in other countries, and how they can become environmentally responsible citizens with just through small habit changes.
II. Help Students Discover and Connect With the University of South Carolina
Identify appropriate campus resources and opportunities that contribute to their educational experience, goals, and campus engagement.
The presentation will highlight many ways to get involved with sustainability or environmental issues on campus. It describes student organizations like EcoReps, Net Impact, and SAGE and how to join, promotes the Green Learning Community and tells students about the Student Sustainability Fund, which is money available to fund student-proposed sustainability projects on campus. The presentation also describes ways in which sustainability has been increasingly incorporated into businesses and how knowledge of sustainability could impact their career choices.
As a result of attending this presentation students will:
- Describe what the term sustainability means
- Explain University sustainability goals
- Be able to state current University sustainability initiatives
- Examine their own lifestyle for potential improvements in eco-friendly habits

Celebration Herbals Organic Cloves Whole -- 40 g
Good price
I have cloves simmering on my stove all during the Winter months. To buy them locally costs much more than buying them from Vitacost.

Brody's B-Day Party by Suze - 11 months ago
"Brody's 12th birthday party "cuz that's just how we roll." Brody and I had so much fun creating these t-shirts! Everyone got a nickname on their back like "Brodeo Drive," "K Squared," and "Flips." The kids loved their t-shirts and will all be wearing them to school on Monday. I've had great experiences with CustomInk. This is maybe my 5th shirt I've designed. The help desk has always been kind and extremely helpful!"

ROME, Feb 14 (Reuters) - An Italian court has authorised the sale of 800 million euros ($1.07 billion) worth of steel seized from the IlVA steel plant in southern Italy during a probe into environmental damage caused by the factory, judicial sources said on Thursday.
Prosecutors investigating ILVA had requested the release of the steel because it risked deteriorating below sale quality.
The products were confiscated last year in a move which ILVA said threatened the future of Italy's biggest steel plant as well as a chain of others. In January, judges had rejected a bid by ILVA to reclaim the seized steel products. ($1 = 0.7442 euros)

Although I still have 50 or so final student papers to grade, my classes are almost done. I spent the weekend in south Florida, taking advantage of a promotion through the frequent hotel guest program in which I participate. (When I made the reservation, I assumed that we would already have had several weeks of frigid weather in Boston, while in fact our eerily warm Thanksgiving period meant that it turned really cold only about two days before I left for the Florida warmth.) A highlight of the visit was an afternoon in an edgy art district that has recently sprouted up less than two miles north of downtown Miami -- a bit south of the previously edgy but now mainstream Miami Design District -- called Wynwood. The story of this area is amazing and instructive. It once had shoe factories and warehouses, now long gone. What's left is some desolate blocks with auto body shops and warehouses. The architecture consisted of concrete one-story box structures. A few years ago a real-estate developer (who was one of the people who had been involved in the resurrection of South Beach in Miami twenty years ago) basically bought up the entire neighborhood, I'm sure for a tiny sum. He proceeded to commission a number of artists to do wall paintings (aka graffiti) on the auto body and warehouse store fronts, and to set up space in an abandoned building lot for various artists to set up studios, and in the abandoned lot next door to display the outdoor works of different artists.
The developer's daughter set up a restaurant, and more recently another restaurant appeared, this one commissioning wall paintings by the artist Shepard Fairey, known (at least to non-art types such as me) as the designer of the Obama t-shirt from the 2008 election campaign. (Here is a link to the art on the restaurant walls, which will give you a feel for the art in the area as a whole.)
I was amused to see that the text on the stop sign at the street corner outside the newer restaurant had been changed -- apparently officially, this wasn't spray painted or anything -- to SHOP. On the main drag was parked a police car-like car from a private security service, but nobody was inside. A steady stream of tourists, though not huge crowds, were on the streets, taking a lot of pictures. I found this whole transformation fascinating. One reaction was that if you could do something to beautify and make exciting this wasteland, there is virtually no urban space anywhere that is without hope. A second was how a smart investor made an investment in some infrastructure -- the works of art he commissioned -- to bring about the transformation. What is happening in Wynwood is a dramatic version of changes that are happening in many cities -- pioneered by the transformation of Soho in Manhattan and the abandoned warehouses of Quincy Market in Boston. But it is a dramatic version of that phenomenon, because the original area was so forlorn, lacking the diamonds in the rough of Soho or Quincy Market. While in Florida, a Swedish friend I was visiting reminded me that I had passed on visiting her husband and her in Los Angeles in the early 1970s, sharing the East Coast prejudice against the city that I now no longer even am close to having.
"Miami today is like LA in the '70s," she commented, on the upswing into a real world-class city. These kinds of changes to the urban landscape make me at least optimistic that the ingenuity and reinvention that are so central to American culture and economic vitality are not dead.

This tangy curd has a serious sweet side thanks to the juice and zest of mandarin oranges. Spread the curd on a scone or biscuit, use to fill a layer cake or stir into whipped cream and dollop on a scoop of fresh fruit.
Sloppy Joes are always a favorite, and this ground ham and turkey version, flavored with cider vinegar and chili powder, is a sure hit. Serve on dinner rolls as sliders, if you prefer.
Decadent and filling, this classic surf-and-turf combination features dry-aged beef alongside juicy lobster tails, all topped with homemade herb butter. We split the lobster tails in half for easy and elegant serving after they're cooked.

Taco seasoning and a splash of beer create a flavorful base for these nachos. Feel free to mix up the ingredients—substitute black beans for the pintos or use halved cherry tomatoes and fresh jalapeños in the pico.
These nachos are perfect for leftover barbecued meat of any kind, and the pickled chiles and fresh cilantro help balance out the rich flavors.
Here's a lighter version of everyone's favorite dip for veggies and chips. Tofu and Greek yogurt make a wonderfully creamy (and healthful!) base, and caramelized onions and a touch of garlic add tons of flavor.
This irresistible and impressive shellfish stew can be made in about 30 minutes start to finish. We like the look of serving the lobster meat in the lobster shells, but you can also just mix it into the stew with the shrimp.
Turnips and kohlrabi easily lend themselves to a quick braise, for a unique and filling side dish. Stirring in a small amount of yogurt just before serving adds a creaminess and body to the braising liquid.
These versatile little cakes can be enjoyed as breakfast muffins, snacks or dessert. Frost with Maple Cream Cheese Frosting, if you like.

To learn more about the Indiana University bachelor's degree in English, a creative writing minor, or a literature minor, please contact:
Earning a bachelor's degree in English with a concentration in literature was not only the hardest work I've ever done, but also the most rewarding. The concepts I learned, the connections I made, and the collegial relationships I developed made an indelible impression on me.
Matthew Rothrock Class of 2008 Coordinator, Academic Resource Center
Are you a lover of language and words?
As a student in the Indiana University Bachelor of Arts (BA) in English program at IUPUC, you may add a concentration in literature to your studies. If you are a student in another degree program, you may minor in literature.
As a literature student at IUPUC, you will read, discuss, and analyze a range of written works, for example:
In reading and analyzing these works, you will develop broad, deep understandings of the human condition across many cultures. You will also hone critical thinking skills that will serve you well, both personally and professionally, in the future.
To get a better feel for whether a concentration or minor or in literature is right for you, explore our course descriptions.
To pursue a minor in literature at IUPUC, complete the application form and return to Kathy Wills (see Meet the Advisor container on this page). The form should be completed and submitted when you are enrolled in your final literature class. The minor form must be completed and submitted before you graduate.
One career that students of literature often pursue is teaching in the humanities at a university, college, or high school. If this describes you, you'll pursue graduate study to earn a master's or doctoral degree.
If graduate study isn't what you had in mind, careers in these fields are possibilities:

Primary care is next frontier for elite med schools
NPR / Kaiser Health News, September 24, 2012
Johns Hopkins, Yale, Harvard, Columbia and Cornell. What do these medical schools have in common? Beyond their first-rate reputations, they're also on the short list of top U.S. med schools that don't have departments of family medicine. Elite schools have long focused on training specialists and researchers, but with the federal health law's emphasis on primary care, some schools are looking harder at family medicine. Until this year, for example, the Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York had neither a department nor any family physicians on staff.

Tony Perez
- Position(s):
- Born:
- May 14, 1942
- Bats:
- Right
- Throws:
- Right
- Height:
- 6' 2"
- Weight:
- 175 lbs
- Major League Debut:
- 7-26-1964 with CIN
- Allstar Selections:
- 1967 AsMVP, 1980 LG
- Hall of Fame:
- 2000
Slugger Tony Perez was one of baseball's most popular players over a 23-year major league career. His greatest fame came as a vital member of Cincinnati's powerful "Big Red Machine" during the 1970s. His home run in Game Seven of the 1975 World Series helped lead the Reds to the title. "Big Dog" was traded to the Expos after the '76 championship season, and the Reds dynasty was all but over.
Quotes From
"On the field we [the Big Red Machine], were a family. We worked together and worked at playing the game."
Best Season
Playing 153 games at third base for the Reds in 1970, Perez exploded for 40 home runs and 129 RBI. Teaming with Bench (who won the MVP), he formed a fearsome right-handed tandem as Cincinnati rolled to 70 wins in their first 100 games - a ML record. Perez also scored 107 runs, rapped out 186 hits, batted .317, and walked 83 times.
Factoid 1
From August 8-20, 1973, Tony Perez collected exactly two hits in eleven consecutive games. He hit .468 (22-for-47) with one homer and 11 RBI during the stretch.
March 12, 1960: Signed by the Cincinnati Reds as an amateur free agent. December 16, 1976: Traded by the Cincinnati Reds with Will McEnaney to the Montreal Expos for Woodie Fryman and Dale Murray. It is not an exaggeration when historians cite this trade as the demise of the Big Red Machine. The Reds thought Dan Driessen woul fill Perez's shoes, but of course, he couldn't. November 1, 1979: Granted Free Agency. November 16, 1979: Signed as a Free Agent with the Boston Red Sox. November 1, 1982: Released by the Boston Red Sox. January 31, 1983: Signed as a Free Agent with the Philadelphia Phillies. December 6, 1983: Purchased by the Cincinnati Reds from the Philadelphia Phillies. November 8, 1984: Granted Free Agency. April 10, 1985: Signed as a Free Agent with the Cincinnati Reds. November 12, 1985: Granted Free Agency. January 20, 1986: Signed as a Free Agent with the Cincinnati Reds.
Driving in runs
His throwing arm was somewhat erratic.
Perez drove in at least 90 runs in 11 consecutive seasons, from 1967-1977.
Major League RBI Leaders, (1967-1977)
Tony Perez... 1,119 Johnny Bench... 1,038 Lee May... 1,034 Carl Yastrzemski... 984 Willie Stargell... 959
Perez split from former Big Red Machine teammates Joe Morgan and Johnny Bench, and supported the induction of Pete Rose into the Hall of Fame. Morgan demanded that Rose apologize and admit he did wrong, Bench (who never was a big fan of Rose), felt stronger - believing his former teammate should be barred from the shrine forever... In 1985, in his second stint with the Reds, at the age of 43, Perez played for Pete Rose and batted .328 with six homers and 33 RBI in 183 at-bats as a part-time first baseman and pinch-hitter.

Born in Spain in 1460, Juan Ponce de León led a European expedition to discover the mythical fountain of youth, instead finding the southeast coast of what would become the United States. He gave Florida its name and went on to become the first governor of Puerto Rico.
"The mines are running well, though war is no help since every day more caciques rebel and refuse to go [to work]. The Caribs have always been bad for this island."
"Among my services I have discovered at my own cost and expense, the Island La Florida, and others in its district, that have not been mentioned as they are small and inconsequential."
Early Years
Born into a noble family, Juan Ponce de León became a soldier, fighting in a notable campaign against the Moors in Granada. By various accounts, he began his exploration career as part of Christopher Columbus' second expedition to the New World (1493), after the war with the Moors ended.
Hispaniola and Puerto Rico
Years later, after suppressing an Indian uprising in Hispaniola (comprising modern-day Haiti and the Dominican Republic), Ponce de León was named the provincial governor of the eastern part of the country.
Hearing persistent reports of gold to be found on nearby Puerto Rico, in 1508 Ponce de León was officially sent by the Spanish crown to explore the island (there are account of him unofficially exploring it up to two years earlier on his own). He took 50 soldiers with him on a single ship and explored the island, settling near what is now San Juan. A year later, he returned to Hispaniola, having found much gold but running short on supplies, and was named governor of Puerto Rico.
The expedition was seen as a great success, and Ponce de León was instructed to continue the settlement of the island and step up his gold-mining efforts. So he returned to Puerto Rico, this time bringing his wife and children along.
The Fountain of Youth and the Discovery of Florida
The Spanish crown soon encouraged Ponce de León to continue searching for new lands, in hopes of finding yet more gold and expanding the Spanish empire. Also around this time, he learned of a Caribbean island called Bimini, on which there were rumored to be miraculous waters that could rejuvenate those who drank from them (the fountain of youth).
His interest piqued, in 1513 Ponce de León led a private expedition to Bimini from Puerto Rico. In a month's time, he and his men landed on the coast of Florida instead. He did not initially realize that he was on the mainland of North America and instead thought he had landed on another island. He named the region Florida because he discovered it at Easter time (Spanish: Pascua Florida) and because its vegetation was lush and floral.
After exploring the coast, he returned to Puerto Rico, which he found roiling with a native uprising.
Ponce de León soon left for Spain, where he was named military governor of Bimini and Florida and secured permission to colonize those regions. He was also ordered to organize an army to subdue the native uprising on Puerto Rico, which had continued in his absence. He left for Puerto Rico in May 1515 with his small fleet.
Return to Florida and Death
Accounts of the battle that ensued after his arrival are spotty, but in 1521, Ponce de León sailed again for Florida with two ships and 200 men, intent on settling the land. This time, though, he was wounded by an arrow during an Indian attack, after which he and his colonists sailed to Cuba, where he soon died of the wound.

Famous Explorers
Throughout the centuries, brave explorers have fearlessly traveled the globe and beyond to discover new lands, people, animal species, riches and glory. Ferdinand Magellan of Portugal proved the world is round with his mission to sail around the world. His fellow countryman Vasco da Gama commanded the first European ship around the southern tip of Africa to reach India by sea. Norseman Leif Eriksson is regarded as the first European to reach North America, nearly 500 years before Christopher Columbus, who is credited with discovering the "New World" of the Americas. Juan Ponce de León scoured Puerto Rico and Florida in his quest for the fountain of youth. Meriwether Lewis and William Clark blazed new trails during their Corps of Discovery Expedition across the western half of the United States. Traveling to new heights of discovery were mountain climber Sir Edmund Hillary, the first man to reach the peak of Mount Everest, and U.S. astronaut Neil Armstrong, the first human to walk on the moon. These intrepid explorers and more have made an indelible mark on human history. See all Explorers.

#21213 new defect (bug)
Underscores get stripped out in $type ( get_query_template() )
Reported by: | rinatkhaziev | Owned by: | |
Milestone: | Future Release | Priority: | normal |
Severity: | normal | Version: | 2.5 |
Component: | Themes | Keywords: | needs-testing has-patch |
Focuses: | template | Cc: |
What happens is:
$type = preg_replace( '|[^a-z0-9-]+|', '', $type );
strips underscore. Effectively, incoming "front_page" becomes frontpage, which leads to not working (but documented) hook front_page_template.
I tested this on: nginx 1.2.1/php-fpm 5.4.3 (homebrew macos) and nginx 1.0/php-fpm 5.3.3 with the latest revision ATM
The fix is as simple as
$type = preg_replace( '|[^a-z0-9-_]+|', '', $type );
Patch is attached.

Replying to SergeyBiryukov:
Also mentioned in ticket:15337:9.
This is related to your link for sure, the only thing is that front page would be left as "front-page" instead of "front_page". "front_page"_template is the hook for modifying template hierarchy.

- Milestone changed from Awaiting Review to 3.6
- Version changed from 3.4.1 to 2.5
Related: [7223], [7224]. template_php.patch seems sane.
An alternative would be to rename the filter to front-page_template: 21213.patch.
$type[0]_$type[1]_template filter would need the same change for consistency, see #15337.
comment:5 retire2maui — 10 months ago
- Version changed from 2.5 to trunk
I was getting ready to report this same bug for the attachment page template file $mimetype_$subtype.php. For example, template files text_plain.php and image_jpeg.php will not work but textplain.php and imagejpeg.php do work. The template_php.patch fix will resolve this issue also, but 21213.patch obviously won't.
comment:6 SergeyBiryukov — 10 months ago
- Version changed from trunk to 2.5
Version number indicates when the bug was initially introduced/reported.
comment:7 kovshenin — 10 months ago
Note that both patches change the name of the filter fired for the front page template. I did a quick check on the plugins directory, this can break at least one plugin which filters frontpage_template: http://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/page-transitions/trunk/main.php#L33
Haven't found any others, but I did find three plugins that filter on front_page_template:
- app-your-wordpress-uppsite/themes/webapp/functions.php
- commentpress-core/themes/commentpress-theme/functions.php
- wparty/wparty-theme.php
comment:8 markjaquith — 8 months ago

Punting for now, as it breaks stuff.

Serves 4.
Originally aired October 16, 2009
- 2 pork tenderloins, 1 package, trimmed of silver skin, about 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 pounds
- Salt and pepper
- 2 shallots, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup gorgonzola crumbles
- 1/3 cup chopped toasted walnut pieces, a generous handful
- 4 to 5 sprigs fresh thyme, finely chopped
- 2 teaspoons lemon zest
- EVOO Extra Virgin Olive Oil, for liberal drizzling
- 2 teaspoons fennel seeds, 2/3 palmful
- Kitchen twine
- Balsamic drizzle
Preheat grill pan, large griddle or outdoor grill to medium-high heat.
Cut into and across the tenderloins lengthwise to open them. Place the meat under parchment or plastic wrap and pound meat out to just shy of a half-inch thick, using a mallet or heavy small skillet. Season the pork with salt and pepper on the exposed side.
Combine the shallots with cheese, toasted nuts, thyme and lemon zest. Evenly distribute half of the mixture onto each pork loin. Roll the pork tenderloins up and secure the rolls with kitchen twine. Generously coat the meat with EVOO and season liberally with salt, pepper and fennel seeds.
Grill 15 minutes on each side then let meat rest under loose foil for 10 minutes before slicing. Remove string, slice into 8 medallions per pork loin and serve garnished with some balsamic drizzle.

When u compare the landscape of boxing, from this point in time of stars/potential stars, compared to 2003 roster from each division, would you say (talent-wise) boxing has progressed or declined?

There are more smaller fights being made. However, the interest in boxing from many has declined over the last decade. Too many big fights not happening, too few unification matches, too many promoters unwilling to risk their house fighters against other promoters' house fighters. I wish there could be a way to almost take the promoters out of boxing. Let the networks show the fights and the fights be made regardless of who promotes.
Keep Pay-Per View only for closed-circuit caliber fights with most fights on HBO or Showtime and more fights on commercial TV. There's more channels and stations for boxing than ever before, but they aren't being used effectively to get boxing interesting to new generations again. If we could get a kick-ass heavyweight contender who brings excitement and would be willing to fight in afternoon or prime-time commercial TV where the pubic could see and appreciate him, other divisions and fights could follow suit. Overall, I would say the sport interest has declined. Jack |

By Shazam Entertainment Ltd.
Shazam isn't just a handy app for identifying songs. Lovers of this name-that-tune app can enjoy real-time song lyrics (kareoke anyone?) and ad recognition features.
The Recapp Rating5/5 Stars
Get Shazam ! + Add to Favs |
Ever hear a familiar song and struggle for the rest of the day to figure out the title or who sings it? Or you're listening to the radio and want to know the artist belting out a new tune you really like? Shazam has your back: Fire it up and tap the tag button (we like to think of it as a name-that-tune button) and Shazam will use your phone's microphone to listen to the song and then check it against its online database. In as little as one second (thanks to recent updates), Shazam identifies the track and the band for you. Then you can go straight to iTunes and buy the song if you choose, or read information about the band, the track and the album.
Shazam used to only let you tag five songs per month for free, but thankfully, Shazam released unlimited free tagging to the free app in September 2011. Another highly addictive feature: Shazam's LyricPlay, also available with the free Shazam download. LyricPlay is like having a karaoke player right on your smartphone. Once the app recognizes the tune you're listening to, you can tap the LyricPlay icon, turn your phone sideways and read the song's words that stream in real time (bolding the words that are being sung at that moment) across your screen.
The LyricPlay lyrics appear in funky fonts and colors, but in addition to reading lyrics on the LyricPlay real-time screen, you can also tap the more basic lyrics feature tab in the app for the song's lyrics—all in one place with no scrolling screen and no fancy fonts.
Shazam is unarguably known for its music features, but with the launch of Shazam for TV, Shazam is increasingly being noted for its advertising partnerships—companies from Honda to Disney Parks have made their ad campaigns or commercials "Shazamable." This means that ordinary people like you and us can watch a commercial, Shazam it, then the app will take us to a "second screen experience," where we can partake in anything from the brand's special promotion or giveaway to additional footage from the commercial.
According to Shazam, Shazam for TV gives brands a unique opportunity to interact with their customers. Plus, we can't argue that it makes commercial watching a bit more interesting, too. (Although, now you'll need to find another time to schedule your bathroom breaks.) Check out how ads became Shazamable during the biggest football game of the year.
The update to Shazam 5.0 lets users indentify songs and ads in as little as one second. This super-power update applies to all three of the Shazam apps (Free, Encore and (Shazam) RED), along with an updated UI and improved sharing features. Check back for more Shazam updates. (They happen quite often.)

Titles similar to Raiders' Ransom
Much of twenty-second-century England has been flooded by the sea and is in danger of attacks by piratical Raiders. Lilly Melkun lives in the Last Ten Counties of England and is the last in a line of fishermen trying to get by when her village is attacked by Raiders, and the prime minister's daughter is kidnapped. Hoping to spare her village from the prime minister's retribution, Lilly steals a mysterious jewel and sets off in her boat in a daring attempt to free the young child. She inadvertently makes friends with the Chief Raider's son, Zeph, and the two try to unravel the plot behind the kidnapping and the scheme to find the jewel that Lilly wields. Diamand, winner of the first London Times/Chicken House Children's Fiction Competition, tells her tale in alternating perspectives and delivers a fast-paced adventure with something for everyone. Pirates, fishing, and life on the seas give the novel a historical bent, while talking computers disguised inside jewels show readers a future world where technology and infrastructure have collapsed.

CNET Editors' Take
November 15, 2007 6:09 PM PST
CNET did not review the ViewSonic N2635w, but we did review a larger model in the series.
Although CNET did not review the 26-inch ViewSonic N2635W, we did review the 32-inch ViewSonic N3235W. Judging from their spec sheets, the two ViewSonic flat-panel LCD HDTVs are essentially identical but for screen size, so we expect the picture quality of the 32-inch model to provide a good indication of how the 26-incher will perform. For more information, refer to the full review of the ViewSonic N3235W.

3-16-2012 (9:10 pm) Hi, Just wanted to know what were people favorite Miles Davis Albums. I personally like the works done with Gil Evens, So i'm real fond of Sketches of Spain and Miles Ahead, Then I think I have to say it's Bitches Brew and Tribute to Jack Johnson. For his later work, I love Doo-Bop, and his retake of Time after Time, which I think is on Your under arrest. Miles was one of the century most innovative musician, and I am still surprised when I hear someone say ''Miles Davis, hum, not sure I know him...'' I love you Miles. |

The Boy Scouts of America should end its ban on gays, President Barack Obama said as the Scouts' board was to mull lifting the ban at a meeting to begin Monday.
"Yes," Obama said in a one-word answer when asked by CBS News in a Super Bowl pregame interview if the Boy Scouts should be open to gay members and leaders.
Asked to elaborate, Obama said, "Gays and lesbians should have access and opportunity the same way everybody else does in every institution and walk of life.
"The Scouts are a great institution that are promoting young people and exposing them to, you know, opportunities and leadership that will serve people for the rest of their lives, and I think that nobody should be barred from that," Obama said.
Obama last year backed the right of same-sex couples to marry and voiced his support for gay rights in his second inaugural address two weeks ago.
Concerning Scouting, the White House said last August Obama disagreed with the organization's ban on gay members, but Sunday's interview was Obama's first public addressing of the issue since the Scouts said last week it would consider lifting the ban when it holds its national executive board meeting.
The meeting was to begin Monday at the Scouts' headquarters in Irving, Texas, outside Dallas.
The group could decide to let chartered organizations determine local policy, the Scouts said in a statement.
The vote is expected to take place Wednesday, on the board meeting's last day.
The Scouts reaffirmed its no-gays policy seven months ago.
Texas Gov. Rick Perry, a 2012 Republican presidential hopeful, urged the Scouts Saturday to maintain its policies prohibiting gay members and leaders.
"Scouting is about teaching a substantial amount of life lessons," said Perry, who opposes gay marriage and other equality efforts by lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender groups. "Sexuality is not one of them, never has been, doesn't need to be."
Perry, a former Eagle Scout, wrote a book in 2008 titled, "On My Honor: Why the American Values of the Boy Scouts Are Worth Fighting For."

The recent past has experienced a renaissance in tuberculosis (TB) research. New molecular biology reagents and genetic tools have been developed and whole genome sequences of Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains are now widely available. An increase in the prevalence of drug-resistant strains of M. tuberculosis has renewed focus on the development of new drugs against this millennia old disease. The identification of new targets in M. tuberculosis that might be inhibited to effectively kill the existing strains is now a global pursuit. This review summarizes recently identified targets in M. tuberculosis that have been validated beyond initial genetic identification. Advancing these defined targets for the development of inhibitors has the potential to produce new drugs with novel mechanisms of actions and benefit TB patients worldwide.

State Ready To Investigate Grade Changing AllegationsThe State Department of Education says their team is ready to begin asking questions and finding answers into alllegations of grade changing at Montgomery Public Schools. State School Superintendent Tommy Bice says the state's investigation will start next week and his department has already started putting together preliminary information based on student data. The state department of education has chosen three people they feel are most qualified to investigate allegations of grade changing at some Montgomery high schools. "One will be a superintendent, one will be a high school principal and one will be someone who understands student management and data systems," said Bice. Bice says the team will look at student grade books, teacher grade books, student records where grades are captured and transcripts. "My hope is that we find a limited if any verification of that if we find something different we'll be very aggressive in pursuing that," said Bice. Montgomery Public Schools Superintendent Barbara Thompson is launching a separate independent investigation led by a retired FBI agent. She says she thinks the two investigations are enough. "We wanted our own independent investigation then we involed the state department because those are the people that typically look at teacher behavior, licensing and those kinds of inappropriate things," said Thompson. Retired Lee High school teacher Lesa Keith is one of several teachers who alleges grades were being changed and insinuated that Thompson knew about it. Thompson says when she learned of the allegations she took proactive measures and looks forward to the results of the investigation. "I think for the record you have to look back at who initiated complaints and grievances if we have any of those in our office, these are things taht are going to come out as a part of the investigation," said Thompson. Bice says the names of team members will be announced on Monday, when the investigation begins. He says it's a process that could take only a week or possibly several months to complete. Grade changing allegedly took place at three Montgomery High Schools within the last three years. You have indicated this comment should be removed.said on Saturday, Oct 13 at 9:28 AM The investigation should lead to releasing Barbara Thompson. She can raise money, but she can not lead a school system. I was in the school system and she gave some principals more power than others, which I believe is the reason Lee is in the situation that they are in. Add a comment |

CHICAGO - Two convicted bank robbers who pulled off a daring overnight escape from a high-rise Chicago jail had changed from their prison garb by the time they hopped into a cab outside the lock-up, investigators said Wednesday as they expanded their manhunt for the men.
Authorities were raiding houses and combing through records looking for anybody with ties to the inmates who climbed out a jail window and descended 20 stories using a makeshift rope.
The FBI said surveillance footage from a camera near the Metropolitan Correction Center shows Kenneth Conley and Joseph Banks getting into a cab at about 2:45 a.m. Thursday - about two hours after guards were supposed to do a bed check and four hours before workers spotted the rope dangling from the jail. The pair had changed from their orange jail-issued jumpsuits into light-colored pants and light-colored shirts, the FBI said.
"We don't know if they fashioned their own clothes, or what," said Special Agent Frank Bochte.
The FBI was offering a $50,000 reward for information leading to the apprehension of Conley and Banks, with the manhunt focused mainly on Chicago and its suburbs.
Law enforcement officials said at least three homes in the suburbs south of Chicago where one of the inmates once lived were searched Tuesday, and a suburban strip club where Conley worked confirmed that investigators had visited.
Investigators believe the men had been at a home in Tinley Park, 25 miles southwest of Chicago, just hours before police SWAT teams stormed it. A law enforcement official said the home was that of Conley's mother and that after the woman refused to let the escapees in, the men used a rock to break a window.
The person, who was not authorized to discuss the investigation so would speak only on condition of anonymity, said authorities also searched the home of a former girlfriend of Conley in nearby New Lenox, where the escapees had eaten breakfast.
In Orland Park, which borders Tinley Park, police Chief Timothy McCarthy said records revealed Conley had been arrested several years ago on a robbery charge.
"We looked at our own files and came up with a former colleague, a past associate," he said.
Orland Park officers helped search a house where the associate lives or once lived, he said, but there was no evidence the escaped inmates had been there, he said.
But the chain of events illustrates just the kind of thing investigators are doing: looking through records, arrest reports and even traffic tickets in the hopes of finding where the men went.

We should call them CRAP
Previous news story Next news story |
PetaPixel asks: What should we call connected, app-based cameras?
It's a question that's been on Michael Zhang's mind, over at PetaPixel, and ours too. If Photokina 2012 had a theme it was definitely connectivity, and recent months have seen several moves by manufacturers to introduce smartphone-type functionality into cameras. Both the Samsung Galaxy Camera and Nikon's Coolpix S800c combined a fully functioning Android-based operating system with photographic capabilities of serious compact cameras, while Wi-Fi connectivity is becoming almost standard.
In his article, Zhang points out that: 'Smartphones and large sensor digital cameras have definitely been choking the life out of 'dumbcameras' as of late, but point-and-shoots have the advantage of being able to do something that bulky DSLRs likely won't ever do: become 'smart'.
So as camera manufacturers continue to respond to the rise of the smartphone camera with their own solutions, journalists in the industry are faced with an interesting conundrum: what do we call these things? Zhang argues for the term 'smartcamera' but what do you think? When is a device officially 'smart' and what should we call cameras in this new class?
