Definitely – that's what I was asking myself when I read this? What's one got to do with the other? The bottom line is that homosexuality is clearly spoken against in the Bible. Also, as a friend pointed out to me tonight, making a law allowing same-sex marriage would open the gate for any 2 individuals to "marry." Men & boys, incestuous family members, adults with children (wouldn't Islam support THAT!) , just to name a few. Also, this would be the end of free speech and freedom of religion as we know it. Christian pastors who oppose it on Biblical grounds would be forced to perform these "marriages" or be sued (or worse), business owners (like the bakery which was called to make a "wedding cake" for a same sex couple and refused was taken to court), and no one would be able to say a word in defense of Biblical marriage! We've sunk far enough already; This needs to STOP!

No- Tourette's is involuntary – what they did was COMPLETELY by choice. It shows how tacky and class-less they (the gay activists) are. I've known quite a few gay people over the years, but none of them have been this rude and obnoxious. This kind of behavior takes a pro (activist). But the White House should have known better than to invite them. Well, (hopefully) lesson learned (or maybe I'm being too optimistic).

Yes, I agree. Would they have been so cooperative if the request had been made by Romney? You know they wouldn't, but the race card would have been flying! But because it's Obama (as minority himself and liberal, not because he's president), they probably laughed about it as they turned in their silverware. Wake up, people – he is not your friend! All he wants is money and votes – but he's as much of a racial profiler as all the police that Latinos are always accusing of the same!

Seems very racially profiling of him. As it's already been mentioned, I doubt that any of his la-di-da rich people's fund-raisers have been asked to surrender any of their silverware. What an insult to Latinos! Would they stand (or sit) for that if it was Romney who required it? I doubt it. And really – forks? With all the automatic weapons he's sent into Mexico, I think forks should be the least of his concerns.

Just as MANY people jumped to conclusions that were wrong and tried Zimmerman in the media, we need to be careful that we don't rush to judgment ourselves in a case like this. This boy is in an HONORS class, which should say something first of all. Next, what is his record of behavior like? Has he ever shown disrespect for the flag or America in the past? If so, then let the consequence fit the crime. But until everything is out there about him, we need to be careful not to be guilty of the same nonsense we are seeing on the liberal side! Two wrongs still don't make a right. Facts first!

the Jeffersonian,
You mentioned Muslims praying as if it were a hypothetical. In fact, they are already given space in (some, maybe even many) public schools, during the school day, to pray, at least during Ramadan, if not at all times for those who choose. So then, if that is already the case, why not allow other students to pray?
The idea of disallowing a church to meet in a (unused on weekends) public school building for prayer and services is ludicrous. What are they afraid of? It might "rub off" and make them Christian? It doesn't work that way. If any other business – and probably other than CHRISTIAN religious organization – wanted to rent the space on a Sunday, I can't see as they would be denied. It's money in their pockets. They've been doing it for years. NOW it becomes a matter of separation of church and state? Ridiculous!

Muslim children are already given space in public schools to pray during Ramadan (and other times?) DURING school hours. So is that not a church vs. state conflict? But when churches want to pay to use the facilities when NO children (hence: no conflict ) are present, the state puts up a STINK! Unreal!

I don't know anything about football and have only recently heard of Tim Tebow. But what I have heard of him, I am proud of, as I know his Heavenly Father is even more. He's not doing what he does for the praise of men but to let them know who is really in charge and to give Jesus the glory. There will always be people like Press who are afraid of and put off by TRUTH (Jn. 14:6) and the FACT that they will one day be standing before Jesus as their JUDGE, like it or not.
I agree that Christians need to stand up for what we believe and make Jesus known in the public arena – and Tim is doing an awesome job of that, but I also have a problem with some "Christians" here who use the world's (and Press's) own language and insults against him. We must remember what Paul says about Spiritual Warfare! We do NOT fight as the world does. We need to PRAY for people like Press who are willingly ignorant. Jesus told us to pray for our enemies, and Stephen, as he was being stoned to death, prayed that God not hold it against them (because of their spiritual blindness and ignorance). Let's be sure to follow the right examples here in order not to come across as rude and tacky as Press does. Would Jesus want us to talk like they do? I think we need to be careful and pray before responding. Otherwise, we're no different than they are.

It's BEEN Muslims for a long time; they're just getting bolder – thanks to political correctness. They demand – and TEACH – "Sensitivity" to their ways but give others no such sensitivity (like in the case of the Mosque and "Community Center" at Ground Zero!). The more we go out of our way to give in to them, the more they see us as weak and disrespect us. They use those who stand with them for their "freedom's sake" and later (history proves) those "useful idiots" are first in line to be beheaded (such as homosexuals, Marxists, etc.). We need to wake up before it's too late!

Once again they are using their favorite tactics – "Poor Muslim victims of discrimination" and using America's PC attitudes and freedoms to ELIMINATE our freedoms! We need to seriously PRAY because they will INFILTRATE ALL our churches and Christian organizations, turning them on their ear under the banner of "religious freedom," yet, as always, only one way.

Whoa – I hate to see how he punishes students for saying "Merry Christmas"! Seriously, I'd like to see his awesome class as a teacher; doesn't he have worse behaviors to deal with than people wishing each other well (what "God bless you" has become, since no one believes in the reason it was originally said)? He's really punishing them for using God's name, I'm sure. To make a big deal and call 3 words "disruptive" and "wasting class time" is just a ludicrous excuse. Just teach and stop wasting student's freedoms of speech. I'll bet he doesn't dock grades for their use of truly foul language. But just don't say "God" or you'll fail. That's the bottom line and should be dealt with by either talking to the principal or school board.

Why do we even give this individual the time of day? And you are right, why would a Catholic institution invite him to speak? And then be surprised and horrified by what he says? Not too bright. I've been a special ed. teacher and when you have kids you know are just doing bizarre things (or saying them) for attention, you DON'T give it to them. I think this nation need to learn that. Sure, sometimes we need to take a stand (as in the case of Islam trying to take over the world or something like that). But people like Moore? Not worth responding. Just refuse to watch and listen to his nonsense. Just say NO.

Especially since they don't have any under Sharia law!

If France doesn't stick with their guns on this, they will be replaced by an Islamic nation. And our country should wake up and smell the falafals before it's too late! As horrible a relligion as Islam is, straight from hell (read the Qu'ran if you need convincing) one thing you have to say for them is that these are people who understand dedication and commitment, if misdirected. If the Christian church doesn't wake up QUICKLY, recognize our MISSION and our RESPONSIBILITY, to Christ and our nation as well as Israel, then we will deserve what we get in the end, which is what Islam wants: to extinguish us from the planet. Jesus WILL come and WILL reign, but He has put us here to partner with Him. But we can't do much from our beds and lazy-boys! WAKE UP, church, before we're SWALLOWED up, and we have no one to blame but ourselves!

Two questions for these atheists: 1) How do you feel about censorship (other than the Bible)? I suspect you would throw a FIT if anyone were to shut down some porno magazine because of "Freedom of Speech." Yet, it's OK to censor and "edit" the Bible. 2) What about the Qu'ran? You talk about immoral? Here's a book that talks CONSTANTLY about killing all non-believers! It's a total HATE book. Let's see you editing or censoring THAT book! If you have the GUTS to do that, we can talk. Until that, I will ignore your nonsense, because your rants are gutless and irrelevant.
In reply to Bullhorn Guy's comment on the story Calif. Atheists Rip Up Bible Verses During Anti-Christian Beach Protest
September 13, 2011 at 11:36pm
You can't. They are mutually exclusive. The whole point of Christianity is that Christ came, God become man, to suffer and die in place of sinful humans in order to reconcile us back to God because we COULDN'T pay for our own sins. By trusting in HIS sacrifice, God no longer sees our sinfulness, but His blood covers our UNrighteousness so that, as with the passover blood of the lambs that God called the Jews to cover their doors with in order that the angel of death would PASS OVER their homes, God sees JESUS' righteousness and attributes it to US.
Now, if this is the case, as Christ followers have believed for 2,000 years, why would we NEED to depend on endless cycles of death and rebirth (in this life) in order to EARN our way to heaven? In the New Testament book of Ephesians (2:8, 9), Paul writes this (and there are MANY similar passages): "for it is by grace you have been saved, through faith, and this not from yourselves; it is the gift of God – not by works, so that no one can boast." The tragedy of this kind of wrong theology comes from not reading and knowing what you say you believe. Christians, before it's too late and we've lost our freedom to read the Bible, it's time to read and learn what it says NOW, so that we are not easily confused and deceived. The Bible warns that many WILL be. As with so much else going on and Glenn's warning on those levels, the same applies here: WAKE UP and KNOW what you believe, Christians!

Plymouth 'Cuda
Nothing epitomised the Seventies better than these beautiful brutes, finished in Plum Crazy paint and stuffed with a magical (maniacal...) 426 cubic-inch Hemi V8
- Image Credit: Supplied picture
- Plum Crazy paint was one of the most popular colours for the 'Cuda back in 1971.
If you were a bit of an extrovert and had a penchant for arriving everywhere sideways and in a cloud of smoke back in the Seventies, then you probably owned, or dreamt of, a 425bhp Plymouth 'Cuda… finished in Plum Crazy for good measure. Debuting a full two weeks before the Ford Mustang in 1964, the 'Cuda was considered the first of the muscle cars.
It went on to become an all-out street brawler that frightened the paint off all its rivals, but it had to wait until the 1970 model year before it could be taken really seriously. Based on the compact Plymouth Valiant, the lean-looking fastback featured a massive wraparound taillight and a stubby bonnet.
Engine options included V6s and V8s — the most potent of which produced 235bhp. But it was eclipsed by the 'Stang, the Chevrolet Camaro and the Pontiac Firebird in terms of styling and performance before the decade was out. Something had to be done to get it back on track. Right on cue, the legendary 426 cubic-inch (7.0-litre) Hemi arrived.
This monster of a big-block almost doubled the original car's horsepower when the new-look Cuda hit the streets in 1970. Five V8s were available this year but it was the enormous 426 that got the blood pumping. The 425bhp motor had one mission — to pin the brave (make that foolish) driver to his seat with the force of a rocket at launch.
Not literally, but it sure felt that way when you buried the throttle. And I guess that's where the term 'loud pedal' was derived; the 'Cuda sounded like thunder. When you shoved the pistol-grip shifter into first and dumped the clutch, the rear rubbers had no chance; countless sets of F60x15s died a wonderfully fiery death.
Plymouth had to stiffen up the 'Cuda's leaf springs (stop laughing back there…) so they would be able to cope with the car's immense acceleration. An extra heavy duty Dana axle helped too because with 680Nm of torque, Plymouth had to pull out all the stops when this thing got going. Keeping the hopelessly nose-heavy 'Cuda in a straight line required not just a firm grasp of opposite lock, but a degree in physics probably helped.

The fire-breathing monster sure looked the part what with its hockey stick sport stripes, bonnet pins, scoops, rally wheels and rear spoiler but those who bought it for its performance also made sure to tick the optional 11.3in front discs options to improve the hefty car's stopping power. But of all the options, it was the R-code street Hemi 426 that was the most important. The relentless race-bred engine was one of the most legendary ever built.
For the 1971 model year, changes were kept to a minimum. It got a more complex six-inlet grille and fender gill louvres while the convertibles, of which just 374 were produced, are amongst the rarest and most expensive muscle cars money can buy. Expect to pay up to Dh500,000 for one of these topless beauties. You may want to curb your enthusiasm for sideways action though…

City to consider banning couches on porches
Some friends of mine used to have a couch on their porch. I would stop by at my liesure and nap on it. I loved it. Then someone's ill-placed and forgotten cigarette butt caught the couch ablaze and burned down the entire house. Now that house has been replaced with the ugliest house in town (sorry if it's yours.) Porch couches breed ugly houses. Ban porch couches.

Prepare to relax, savor at the most intimate restaurant in Lawrence
Mel is an amazing Chef, and as hospitable as they come. We ate at Cafe Beatiful about 6 months ago and can't wait to go back! This is a must try for all foodies.

Junction City properties owned in part by Rock Chalk Park developer going to auction for unpaid taxes and fees
So will Fort Development be allowed to bid on the land at auction? Seems like the kind of deal where they find themselves in this huge mess, refuse to do anything about it, and then buy their own land back for pennies on the dollar (owed) and try again. Something of a settlement.

Kansas on cutting edge of knife rights
I have to laugh at all these "gang" comments. Gangs in the 1950's carried switchblades. You know, like A West Side Story, Grease, etc. I just picture a bunch of modern "gangsters" meeting at Club Magic, snapping their fingers in unison. Then someone gets shot and the whole switchblade argument seemed a little silly.

Chalmers returns to Lawrence to give back
I had the pleasure of having Mario as a guest at my house a few times during his time at KU. I'm sure he wouldn't remember me, but I remember him as a very grounded, friendly guy. Glad to see him doing so much to give back.

Only one developer submits proposal for resort at Clinton Lake State Park
Aren't we dead last in the nation for public use lands? We need more parks, not huge private resorts.
To the person who soon plans to "dangle [their] toes" in the Taneycomo, I doubt you dangle them too long! The water comes off the bottom of Tablerock and even in the dead heat of the hottest summer, it's numbingly cold! Beautiful area though, enjoy your trip.

KU student sues Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity, alleging underage drinking led to head injury
The allegations he made seem to have no connections to underage drinking. Yes, he was drinking. Yes, he was under age. However, being assaulted was not the result of drinking. It was the result of choosing bad friends. Personal responsibility seems to have gone by the wayside at some point. He is responsible for his ignorant actions, just as the other young men need to be held accountable for their own. Why weren't criminal charges filed in a situation where someone was taken by ambulance to the hospital as a result of someone else's actions?

Alamo College unveils new reloadable student debit card
- Tamarind Phinisee
- Copyeditor/Reporter- San Antonio Business Journal
Remember the good old days when one of the highlights of being a college student was waiting for a college refund check to arrive in the mail?
Well, those days are gone, at least for the students of Alamo Colleges.
Instead of a check, students within the community college district will now receive a personalized, prepaid Discover debit card dubbed the ALAMOCash card.
While they'll still have to wait for the card to come through the mail, students will at least have a more modern, convenient way to access their funds — equipped with some bells and whistles.
For starters, no monthly fees, overdraft fees or credit line is associated with the card.
Alamo Colleges will place a surcharge-free ATM at each of the five campuses to allow students to withdraw cash. Students also will receive two free withdrawals off-campus per refund load.
Furthermore, students will be able to make purchases both on and off campus wherever Discover is accepted. And, they will have 24-7 access to their transactions online, with free Internet banking and an automated voice response system.
The card also comes equipped with online bill pay, and can easily be reloaded in a variety of ways. Student employees' payroll checks may also be loaded to the card.
Alamo Colleges' Chancellor Bruce Leslie says the new card will help the district streamline its refund process.
"Students will have access to their refund faster than ever before, and we are lowering costs and increasing efficiencies. It's a win-win," Leslie says.
The ALAMOCash card is an FDIC-insured prepaid card issued by Oklahoma-based Central National Bank and sponsored by Heartland Payment Systems (NYSE: HPY).
Tamarind Phinisee serves as the copyeditor of the newspaper and also works as a reporter covering finance, Mexico/international trade and education.

The job market is slowly starting to heat up for January with more roles due to be listed in the coming weeks.
A survey by recruiters Ranstad showed two-thirds of the workforce was looking to change jobs in 2013, double the number of employees with itchy feet a year ago.
Employment listings website Seek had 1483 jobs listed in Wellington yesterday. Adecco Wellington branch manager Kelly Ashford expected 2013 to be a busy year for its Wellington commercial office and Lower Hutt industrial office.
Wellington typically got off to a slow start in relation to vacancies listed in January, with most Wellingtonians taking an extended break, she said. "Interest in new positions by job seekers, whilst always steady, tends to peak early in the year, with New Year resolutions on people's minds and the time for change opportune."
Fewer people seemed to be applying for jobs while they were on holiday this year, according to Ranstad Wellington operations manager Phillipa Solomon, who said there was a lull during the Christmas period.
"I think there is still a bit of a nervous market for candidates looking for opportunities . . . In Wellington it tends to be the end of January before we see a lot of movement."
Madison Recruitment national sales director Justin Pipe agreed recruitment activity in Wellington was down slightly from this time last year.
"This is always a relatively quiet period of the year anyway, coupled with how the statutory holidays fell this year, resulting in a lot more decision-makers who have taken an extended festive break until later in January, so this is not really that surprising."
However, Ultimate Recruitment Company consultant Graham Currie said a sales manager job listing he had placed yesterday morning had attracted several applications by mid-afternoon.
"There has been lots of interest already. Whether they're qualified or not is another story; some of them have no relevant experience whatsoever."
Unemployment is at a 13-year high, hitting 7.1 per cent in Wellington recently.

Jays Place David Purcey on DL
The Toronto Blue Jays have placed relief pitcher David Purcey (0-1/2.81 ERA/.185BAA in 24 appearances) on the 15-day DL.
Purcey has been experiencing lingering effects from an ankle injury that he sustained last week, thus forcing the the Jays to make the decision to place him on the 15-day disabled list.
The Jays have summoned RP Jesse Carlson from AAA Las Vegas as a left-handed specialist in the bullpen.
Carlson, who was a common sight to see for Blue Jays fans during the 2008 and 2009 season, has been playing in the minors with Las Vegas this entire season; where he has amassed a record of 3W-1 L/4.24 ERA/43 K's/4SV's in 51 innings of work.

People Who Live in Glass Boxes: The Arne Svenson Tribeca Telephoto Controversy
So WPIX is calling Arne Svenson "the peeping Tom artist photographing neighbors"? That's what you get, I guess, for surreptitiously photographing peeps in a Tribeca luxury apartment building across the way, then turning around and selling those prints (to the equally well-heeled) as voyeuristic fantasies in an exhibition at an exclusive Chelsea gallery.
Clearly, the hostility directed at Svenson by his unwitting subjects is a class issue. This would be clear had Svenson been shooting through the windows of a tenement, or even a building full of middle-class folk … though, try finding such a swank building in Manhattan occupied by the middle class! And then, how is it Svenson didn't know that, in a city build on wealth and status, money — floating glass boxes or not — also buys you transparency? And how dare Mr. Svenson presume to gaze on his economic superiors unawares – especially when they might be picking their noses? Privacy might be something bestowed on all Americans by the Constitution as a legal right, but it — like much else — goes doubly for the rich.
And then, I'm also wondering how much the offense was compounded by Svenson framing one of these sky box residents as if down on her knees cleaning the floor in her lovely skirt? (Looking at the photo, by the way, that's not what it looks like she's doing. It's not surprising the media would suggest such a reading, however, to stoke the degradation — far worse, of course, than napping in the afternoon while all the wage slaves are toiling away out there.
At the same time — not just based on the selection of images published at PetaPixel, the NY Post and the Daily Mail, but the images in the exhibition — it seems the brouhaha has been horribly overblown. Frankly, how scandalous is the back of somebody sleeping, or how pervish, even, is the back of a teen sitting in a chair? I mean, talk about pulling your punches.

I recall the rumours of child abuse in Westminster in the 1980s. They weren't taken very seriously
Was there a paedophile ring at Westminster? Was there a cover-up? The terms "cover-up and "Westminster paedophile ring" are volcanic. Put them together and there is bound to be an almighty eruption, and a further terrible breakdown in trust between voters and those who were or are public figures.
It is a statement of the obvious that these allegations are serious and needed to be treated as such. For sure, they will be. And the inquiry announced by Theresa May must address why there was no follow-up to the allegations when they were first made.
Before the latest inquiry gets under way, we already have two extremely important contributions. The interview on Monday's Today programme with the Conservative MP Peter Bottomley was one of those rare, genuinely enlightening exchanges. The text of the interview should act as a guide for all of us as we await the outcome of a new inquiry and the police investigation.
In the 1980s, Bottomley was falsely accused of being part of a paedophile ring involving a children's home. There were rumours. The rumours were reported. Bottomley sued successfully. His experience is a reminder that some rumours are false. The Newsnight investigation that wrongly accused Lord McAlpine of similar offences is another example.
False rumours are an important element in this bleak saga. They make it more difficult for those with a degree of responsibility to decide how to act. The former Liberal leader, David Steel, has been attacked for not moving against Cyril Smith in the 1970s and 1980s. The rumours about Smith proved to be devastatingly accurate. They seem to have understated the extent of Smith's depravity. But at the time Smith emphatically denied the allegations. There was no definitive evidence or the media would have rightly gone for him.
For leaders with a thousand other more tangible responsibilities, acting on rumours that in the darkness of the 1970s and 1980s seemed improbable, was not a pressing priority. There was no way that a figure of Steel's obvious and demonstrable integrity would actively cover up Smith's monstrosities. In the context of the times there was no reason why he should have believed or given much thought to the rumours.
The second part of Bottomley's interview related to the current allegations of a cover-up involving an alleged Westminster paedophile ring. Bottomley was a minister in the mid-1980s and worked with senior officials at the Home Office and elsewhere. He expressed doubt as to whether these figures would have taken part in an overt cover-up.
Again Bottomley makes a significant point rooted in the time when the allegations were made. It requires quite a leap to imagine the following thought process from senior Home Office officials: "We have evidence that some of our friends or colleagues are part of a paedophile ring. Let's kill the evidence in order to protect them and allow them to continue being paedophiles."
Perhaps we will find that such a sequence took place. Some shocking revelations have surfaced already about what was going on in a range of previously trusted institutions. We must get ready to be shocked again.
But Lord Tebbit pointed us in a slightly different direction when he spoke of an "unconscious cover-up". This phrase sounds sinister. The words are a contradiction in terms, in the sense that a cover-up implies intent. Tebbit suggests any suppression of abuse was unconscious. Yet the phrase evokes a sequence of events that is at least as plausible as an overt cover-up.
Perhaps some rumours were seen as without substance. Perhaps the source of some of the allegations, the MP Geoffrey Dickens, was not taken as seriously as he should have been.
Few knew then what we know now. Context does not excuse, but is part of the explanation. I raise the possibility that casual complacency might have played a part because I recall how we as journalists responded to various rumours of sex scandals involving senior politicians in the 1980s. We did not take them very seriously. We would do now.
The reaction of some journalists to the current Westminster sex abuse saga takes a more ominous direction. I read how disgraceful it is that nearly 200 detectives investigate the alleged wrongdoings of journalists and only seven are at work on the parliamentary paedophile investigation.
The fact that there might have been appalling abuses at Westminster does not mitigate newspaper misconduct or the need for that misconduct to be fully investigated. And you can bet that now the focus moves to sex abuses at Westminster the number of police investigating those allegations will increase. It is a malevolent logic that suggests because some politicians might be guilty of appalling abuse, inquiries into newspaper misconduct should cease.
As more light is shed on the dark decades of our recent past a common theme emerges. It is not so much a conspiracy to cover up that gave public figures the space to abuse, but a lack of clear lines of responsibility within institutions. At the BBC and in hospitals, managerial hierarchies were so convoluted that no one would think it their responsibility to reflect on and change the secretive culture. Without intense scrutiny it was tempting to lead an easy life and not ask awkward questions.
We will know soon enough. From greedy bankers to abusive politicians and corrupt police officers, no one from the dark decades will escape the light. But in each case we must learn the lessons and implement sweeping change for the future. The past has happened. Cries of cathartic shock are nowhere near enough.

Wash. 'cougar' sightings turn out to be house cat
Police in Lynden, Wash., say the multiple reports they received of a "cougar" sighting near the fairgrounds turned out to be a very muscular orange-colored domestic cat.
The Associated Press
Police in Lynden, Wash., say the multiple reports they received of a "cougar" sighting near the fairgrounds turned out to be a very muscular orange-colored domestic cat.
Police Chief Jack Foster tells the Bellingham Herald (http://is.gd/DXbhYv)that one woman said she saw the cat twice. Police first learned of the sightings on Tuesday.
On Wednesday afternoon, a new sighting was reported. This time Foster says an officer was able to get within a few feet of the creature and report that it WAS a big cat - a big domestic cat.
The chief acknowledges that from a distance the animal did resemble a cougar.
He says the original witness confirmed it was the same cat she had seen earlier.
Foster says cougars have been seen in the community near the Canadian border - twice in the past two decades.

Scientists Shed Light on Fungus Behind Deadly Pneumonia Strain
FRIDAY, Dec. 28 (HealthDay News) -- Researchers report that they've sequenced the genome of a fungus called Pneumocystis jirovecii, potentially laying the groundwork for new ways to treat a strain of pneumonia that can kill people with weakened immune systems.
The strain is known as Pneumocystis pneumonia. First noticed among malnourished babies, it gained attention during the AIDS epidemic because it struck HIV-infected patients. It also strikes other patients whose immune systems don't work properly, such as those who receive organ transplants, are undergoing treatment for blood cancer or have autoimmune disorders.
The sequencing of the genome revealed that the fungus is a parasite that must live within the human body to survive. "This has been quite an important finding which implied that human beings represent the reservoir of this pathogen," study co-author Philippe Hauser of the Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Vaudois and University of Lausanne in Switzerland, said in a news release from the American Society for Microbiology.
The study appears in the Dec. 26 issue of the online journal mBio.
