Benson woman spends night in woodsBy Darren Marcy
Staff Writer | November 20,2013BENSON A Benson woman was found about 7:30 a.m. Tuesday after she spent a night lost in the woods.
Vermont State Police said Francheska Chalidze, 78, of Benson was last seen at 11:30 a.m. Monday at her home on Herrick Road in Benson. But it is believed she went for a walk about 3 p.m., didnt make it back before dark and became lost.
She was reported missing about 11:25 p.m.
Lisa Chalidze of Benson said her sister-in-laws housemate reported her missing as soon as she discovered she had not returned from her walk.
Francheska Chalidze suffered a stroke about one year ago. She did not lose cognitive abilities, her sister in law said, but she was robbed of her speech.
Chalidze was dressed for the outdoors, but not an overnight stay in the woods. She was wearing a white coat and a hunter-orange cap.
I think she just went out for a walk, Vermont State Police Lt. Charles Cacciatore said. She enjoys walking and this was just one of those situations where it got away from her.
Lisa Chalidze said her sister-in-law spent most of the night walking to stay warm as snow fell and wind blew.
A search was launched when Francheska Chalidze was reported missing. Volunteers searched throughout the night, and a helicopter was launched as soon as it was safe Tuesday morning.
Chalidze was spotted by the crew of a Customs and Border Protection helicopter at about 7:30 a.m., a few miles from her home.
She appeared to be in good health and good spirits despite the night in the woods and was treated by the Fair Haven Rescue Squad, police said.
Im just glad she is OK, Cacciatore said. Everybody did a super job working together and locating her.
Vermont State Police, the Benson Fire Department and New England K9 Search and Rescue joined in the search. Wardens from the state Fish & Wildlife Department were on their way when the woman was located.

Without doubt, Machu Picchu is the most famous attraction in Peru. The winding Inca trail draws people from across the world, but like so many of the World Heritage Sites, Machu Picchu's awe and attraction comes at a cost.
Over 400,000 people visit every year and, whilst the Peruvian government has restricted the amount of people who can walk the Inca Trail to a maximum of 500 daily; with 2500 people being allowed entry to Machu Picchu itself, and only 400 being allowed to trek Huayna Picchu, there is still a great risk of permanent damage to these protected sites.
So, what's the alternative? Well, there are trails running throughout Peru that are just as stunning as those leading to Machu Picchu – and with far fewer people! Camino Del Apu Ausangate is a path through this stunning landscape of snow-capped mountains and rust-red hillsides and thermal springs. And you're more likely to stumble across a heard of llamas than you are another tourist.
For those still looking for that Machu Picchu experience, Choquequirao is the best option. Nicknamed "Machu Picchu's Little Sister" this site is ideal for those who still want to experience an Incan settlement, but with solitude. After two days of uphill and downhill climbing, adventurers are rewarded with lush slopes, traditional buildings and 'llama-terraces'. And for the real explorers (or mad-men) climbing the Choquequirao terraces 5,000 feet above the Apurimac river is a once in a lifetime opportunity.
Camino Salkantay is an alternative path to Machu Picchu, and trekkers really do take the high-road. With the original Inca Trail reaching 13,800 feet above sea-level, Salkantay rises even higher to over 15,000 feet. As such, walkers will be explore some of the area's most spectacular mountains, and while the high altitude may have a strain on the body, the hot-springs, warm duvets and friendly bartenders at some of the lodges along the trail do help the daily recovery.
If you are still committed to trekking the Inka Trail all the way to Huayna Picchu, then do your homework. Booking your tickets online is the only way to ensure you reach the peak – and do this early: unsurprisingly with a centuries old settlement nestled in the heart of the Andean mountains, mobile phone signal isn't at its strongest.
However, with all of these treks being so 'off-piste', so to speak, they're not for the faint-hearted. Expect strenuous days and aching nights. But the end destination is beyond words. Just invest in a good pair of boots. Our additional tours at Inkaterra Machu Picchu Pueblo Hotel mean you'll have an expert, local guide alongside you whilst trekking the Inca Trail. It's even a trip to take with the whole family with our specially created family journey to Machu Picchu. Make 2014 the year you see one of the most iconic archaeological sites in Peru, if not the world.

Like may urban universities across the country, USF is both blessed and challenged with being in a "destination" city. Nightlife, museums, recreation, and seemingly endless cultural offerings are constantly pulling at USF students, taking them away from campus life and making involvement with campus activities a challenge. To keep students on campus and engaged, at least some of the time, the university has taken action to create a stronger sense of school spirit and involvement.
In the corridors below War Memorial Gymnasium, Patrick Visconti '10 sat in a white-walled office. He tensed and released the tightness in his shoulders. Having passed through the gymnasium on his way in, he knew rallying fans during the game that night would be difficult because of the largely empty stands.
—Daniela Ricci-Tam '12
To pump himself up, Visconti cranked the volume on his iPod. "I'm gonna add a little guitar and make it easy to move your feet," came the verse by Sly and the Family Stone. "Dance to the music!" echoed the chorus.
When the music ended, he stood and pulled on the trousers of the University of San Francisco mascot—the Don. Once in uniform, Visconti turned from side-to-side. His spotter inspected the Don's black and gold cape, Gaucho hat, and Venetian-style mask before flashing a thumbs up.
On the basketball court, Visconti, a theology and religious studies major, reveled in the costume's anonymity. During timeouts against Saint Mary's College he pumped his fists to the cheers of Los Locos, USF's green and gold-clad student athletics fan club. But, two months into a four-month schedule, men's basketball, USF's most popular sport, had yet to crack the 2,000-attendance mark in a 4,500-seat gymnasium. To his credit, any sign of dejection was well concealed as Visconti scoured the crowd for children to high five—a mascot staple. He did pushups and situps at center court, took advantage of a loose basketball to attempt a breakaway dribble toward the basket, and feigned waxing the head of a referee who was "follicly challenged."
After the game, Visconti, who along with Marcus Grove '10 alternated as USF's mascot during the 2009-10 school year, took stock of what he was up against. "It's heart wrenching, to tell you the truth," Visconti said, referring to gymnasium bleachers that were often one-third to half filled.
As the Don, Visconti was just one of many on campus committed to rekindling USF's sense of school spirit. For more than a year, administrators have been busy developing and implementing strategies to coax students to attend games and stay on campus for non-athletic events—following an April 2009 leadership challenge by USF President Stephen A. Privett, S.J., to improve the undergraduate experience.
A former high school third baseman for a Southern California school known for its stalwart fan base, Visconti was exasperated by the lack of spirit at USF athletics games after transferring his junior year. By his senior year, he had decided to do something about it.
"I wanted to be the Don because our school spirit on campus was so bad," said Visconti, who, more often than not performed for crowds far short of capacity.
Surveys show that the root of USF's lackluster attendance at games and other non-athletic events is multi-pronged. Again and again, students cited poor communication about upcoming events and overlapped scheduling. And, not surprisingly, many reported being drawn away from campus events and activities by San Francisco's museums, street fairs, and nightclubs, not to mention some of the best parks and coastline in the nation. Others complained that USF's athletics teams don't win enough games.
"At USF, school spirit seems pretty rare," said Daniela Ricci-Tam a junior media studies major and chief copy editor for the San Francisco Foghorn, USF's student newspaper. "A few people are really gung-ho about school-related events and so on, but most people are apathetic. There's a pervasive too-cool-for-school attitude."
Senior environmental studies major Tarun Marya is more involved than most students as a member of the Garden Project, Back to da Roots, USF's Bike Club, and several campus groups including the Green Team, and even he feels the allure of San Francisco drawing him away from campus.
"The city provides a place for everyone to share and be a part of concerts in the park, Mission Street poetry jams, farmers markets, malls, theaters, concerts, restaurants, and more," Marya said.
Such sentiments are common among USF students, to be sure. But with several new initiatives recently implemented, the expectation is that apathy will begin to give way to more involvement in student clubs, community service, and on campus events and activities, which are as vital to USF's spirit and community as athletics, Fr. Privett said. "Spirit generates energy, enthusiasm, and generosity in a person for a shared goal or desired outcome," he said.
Spirit has other benefits. It lays a foundation for the recruitment of new students and long-term alumni support. "We know from experience that alumni who have had a good four-year experience become the best ambassadors for the university," said Annette Anton '69, MA '83, director of USF alumni relations. "Spirit enhances everyone's experience of their college years, and the positive results are evident for years after they graduate in terms of engagement and giving."
Greg Wolcott, director of Student Leadership and Engagement (SLE)—an administrative umbrella for student clubs, student government, and student orientation and events—has led the response to the president's challenge to improve undergraduate activities on campus in those arenas.
When asked about his goals for improving spirit and community on campus, Wolcott appeared to relish the question. Smiling, he pointed to a poster-sized photograph hung prominently in his office depicting Harney Plaza packed shoulder-to-shoulder with students from some time in the 1960s.
"Now, we are making campus activities a priority again and putting systems into place that will hopefully promote higher student engagement," Wolcott said.
For 2009, SLE coordinated so-called Signature Events, five total, aimed at drawing 800-1,000 students each. The events included an improved student orientation with a hypnotist, student dance, and ice breaker activities, the Jammin' for Justice Concert: Rock Against Rape, a late night Halloween celebration, the Fall Fest concert, and outdoor "ice skating" at Negoesco Stadium.
But, putting on events didn't mean that students always flocked to them. In fact, the goal of 800 or more students wasn't always met, with just 300 attending both the Halloween celebration and Jammin' for Justice Concert while more than 1,700 attended the Fall Fest concert.
Inspite of sometimes missing the 800-attendance goal, surveyed students who took part in at least one Signature Event reported that USF felt like a "more traditional campus" afterward.
"It was a good start," said Wolcott, matter-of-factly. "We learned a great deal." For example, he made changes to align attendance expectations for fall 2010's student events with funding, rather than using a broad 800-1,000 estimate.
An even more critical lesson was ensuring student buy-in. Successful events in fall 2009 had students in the lead, organizing and promoting. In response, SLE handed over its primary coordination and promotion responsibilities for student events to the student-run Campus Activities Board (CAB)—part of the Associated Students of the University of San Francisco(ASUSF) student government—but continued its advising and funding support.
"We're talking about a cultural shift, from a decentralized approach where clubs, student groups, and departments were solely responsible for their event scheduling and promotion to one in which CAB, with SLE's help, works with constituent groups," Wolcott said.
One result of the transition is that the CAB budget increased about 70 percent over last year, said Jenny Dinh, CAB president. "Taking over from SLE's Signature Events program, CAB plans to put on about 11 events this year, roughly two events each month during the school year."
Scheduled events include the Homecoming concert with a headlining musician, film screenings, USF's Got Talent, Last Comic Standing, dances, and a carnival.
The new approach, led by CAB, also prioritizes better promotion and outreach to student government and clubs about campus activities though email, Facebook, Twitter, campus fliers, and the university's online calendar.
With about 20 events on campus each week, filling the calendar was never Wolcott's problem. Overcoming low attendance was. To improve scheduling and prevent double booking, SLE, as part of University Life, joined Athletics this fall to expand the Student Rewards program. For the first time in years, the two biggest event organizers on campus have created one calendar, offering rewards points for both.
Originally piloted by Athletics, Student Rewards offers prizes to students who earn points by swiping their student IDs at games and, now, by swiping their IDs at performances, lectures, and more. The program doubles as a database of involved students, more than 2,600 strong, who receive emails about upcoming games and campus events, and has increased attendance.
Other signs of progress include a 50 percent jump in the number of student clubs on campus to 120 from 80 in the past four years. The number of ASUSF elected student representatives grew to 30 from just three over the same period. All told, SLE estimates that 30 percent of USF undergraduates are involved in at least one organization.
In Athletics, administrators have heard students and alumni complain about not winning and have moved to hire and retain coaches to meet the department's stated goals of developing exceptional student-athletes in the Jesuit tradition and building teams to compete and win at the conference and national levels.
Indeed, a recent survey showed that 44 percent of students were dissatisfied with the ability of USF athletics programs to build school spirit.
"We get that fans are more excited and engaged when our teams are winning," said Eric Dumbleton, associate athletic director for external relations."We have responded by bringing in and retaining outstanding coaches we believe have a unique ability to recruit talent, and the right kind of student-athlete for USF, so that all the university's teams can compete at the conference level."
The strategy has made inroads, with USF volleyball finishing in the top four in the WCC for three years running, making it into the NCAA tournament in 2008 under Coach Gilad Doron.
Men's basketball, under Coach Rex Walters, improved its conference record to 7-7 in 2009-10 from 3-11 in 2008-09, and pulled out a headline-grabbing home victory against Gonzaga University, then ranked eighth in the country, that had fans mobbing the team at center court.
And Coach Jennifer Azzi, an Olympic gold medalist and WNBA star, took over USF's women's basketball program this fall amid high expectations.
But Athletics has gone beyond hiring new coaches and successfully piloting the Student Rewards program. By relocating the student seating section to better seats and moving it closer to the front row in War Memorial Gymnasium, Athletics improved student support and atmosphere at games in 2009-10 with 150 students on average sitting together and cheering as a unit compared to just 55 in 2008-09.
Midnight Madness, first launched four years ago by Los Locos, was expanded with Athletics' support and funding into an annual music and performance rally where USF's men's and women's basketball teams are introduced tos tudents, fans, and alumni. It drew 1,267 attendees in 2009-10 compared to 250 two years ago.
Similarly, newly added non-alcoholic "happy hours" in the student-entrance foyer with live music, promotional give-a-ways, and special concession prices proved popular, with 315 and 210 students, respectively, showing up ahead of USF's men's basketball games against Portland and Gonzaga universities in January.
Many of the new programs are meant to increase personal contact between athletes and non-athletes so that fans grow to know players one-on-one and want to cheer them on as friends and classmates, rather than as a number from the bleachers, Dumbleton said.
Still, administrators aren't satisfied, having heard complaints about dismal school spirit from a diverse collection of USF students and alumni over the years. This summer, Jennifer Turpin, USF's former College of Arts and Sciences dean and the university's new provost and vice president for academic affairs, added the position of vice provost for student development, installing Peter Novak, the former College of Arts and Sciences associate dean of arts and humanities.
—Peter Novak, Vice Provost for Student Development
One area where Novak, whose purview includes University Life and SLE, sees opportunity for improvement is bringing more of San Francisco's culture and entertainment choices to the university community. After all, the difficulty of attracting students to activities at an urban campus with so much to do beyond its confines is well known, including at schools like Fordham University in New York City. "Probably the biggest challenge is that Fordham, like USF, is in a major market," said JulioDiaz, Fordham associate athletics director for promotion marketing and special events. "We're (in) one of the best cities in the world for entertainment."
Fordham's athletic teams and events compete for students' attention against professional sports teams, Broadway shows, and New York's arms-length list of museums, Diaz said.
But Novak sees USF's location in San Francisco as an enviable problem and one that can be managed, if not overcome, by inviting Bay Area business leaders to speak to students, musicians to perform on campus, and by leading field trips to area museums or to the beach for surf lessons.
It's an approach he wasted no time introducing with the Welcome Weekends program. On Friday and Saturday nights for the first three weekends of the fall semester, campus departments like the Koret Health and Recreation Center, University Ministry, and the Gleeson Library/Geschke Center hosted group events such as a board game night, white water rafting, rollerskating, and beach trash cleanup intended to engage freshmen and new transfers from the outset.
Research shows that early student engagement improves retention, graduation rates, and overall satisfaction with the university experience."We want to involve students in events that are intrinsic to USF and the Bay Area, from game nights at the library, to hikes in Muir Woods, or taking in a Giants game," Novak said.
For now, his focus will be to add events and spaces for students to congregate with friends. These are building blocks to a sense of place and identity that is uniquely USF, Novak said.
A larger challenge lies ahead, however. At USF, where more than half the students live off campus, recognizing and even celebrating the residential campus/city dynamic doesn't offer easy solutions
"I think housing is our biggest question and I'll be studying other urban universities' approaches," Novak said.
Following meetings with student government and club leaders, as well as the San Francisco Foghorn, Novak anticipates that student leaders will offer many creative solutions, whether they're about housing, bolstering orientation, or improving the communication and promotion of events.
Cultivating a more active leadership role for students in promoting community and addressing student concerns is key to building a self-sustaining framework that younger students can grow into as upper-classmen.
"With so many changes underway and the additional focus on improving the undergraduate experience, I think it's an exciting time to be a student at USF," Novak said.

Of the many concerns facing the Tug Valley and its surrounding areas, children in poverty may stand out as one of the most pervasive issues, affecting approximately one out of every three children under the age of 6 in the state.
In an attempt to combat the growing problem, local agencies are partnering with the West Virginia Healthy Kids and Families Coalition in their "Our Children, Our Future: Mingo County Childhood Poverty Forum."
The campaign will kick off with a community meeting on Friday, March 22, at 4 p.m. on the fourth floor of Southern West Virginia Community and Technical College's Williamson Campus.
The collaborating agencies include the Mingo County Diabetes Coalition; Williamson Housing Authority; Logan-Mingo Area Mental Health, the Strong Through Our Plan (STOP) Coalition; the Christian Appalachian Project; and Sr. Brendan Conlon, volunteer with Christian Help of Mingo County.
The group hopes to impact child poverty comprehensively by focusing on primary and secondary issues, such as Medicaid expansion, family violence prevention, stopping cuts in child-care, healthy food initiatives and bi-partisan prison reform.
For more information on the meeting, call Jenny Hudson at (304) 235-3400 or Sr. Janet Peterworth at (304) 393-1481. For more information on the West Virginia Healthy Kids and Families Coalition, visit www.wvhealthykids.org.

Gallery: Queen Elizabeth's Jubilee
Jun. 03, 2012 @ 04:48 PM
LONDON — The River Thames became a royal highway Sunday, as Queen Elizabeth II led a motley but majestic flotilla of more than 1,000 vessels in a waterborne pageant to mark her Diamond Jubilee.
In a colorful salute to the island nation's maritime past, an armada of skiffs and sailboats, rowboats and paddle steamers joined a flower-festooned royal barge down a 7-mile (11-kilometer) stretch of London's river.
With a crowd of rain-soaked spectators estimated by organizers at 1.25 million cheering from the riverbanks, the pageant was the largest public event in four days of celebrations of the monarch's 60 years on the throne.

Its 7,487 acres are a part of a growing mosaic of conservation lands undergoing long term, state-of-the-art restoration to benefit the Florida panther, Florida black bear and other protected species. The waters in marshy Canoe Slough, flow north through the site to the Caloosahatchee River. The natural communities at Spirit-of-the-Wild also help buffer the extensive wetlands on the adjoining 34,722-acre Okaloacoochee Slough, an important source of water for the Fakahatchee Strand State Preserve and the Big Cypress National Preserve to the south.
Karla Brandt
Over a century of flood control, agriculture and cattle ranching activities have altered water flow and the plant and animal communities in this region, yet the pine flatwoods, pastures and wetlands at Spirit-of-the-Wild continue to attract a variety of wildlife. The area is open year round for wildlife viewing, hiking, biking, horseback riding and seasonal hunts. Visitors can travel on a circuit of unpaved roads and catch glimpses of wading birds, wild turkey, white-tailed deer and feral hog.

A. Wickey Gallery is expanding again, and the artist invites the public to come out and see her new works.
Allison Wickey has opened two spaces at the
A. Wickey at the Pavilion carries small art, accessories, and clothing from mostly local artists. There are fun hats from
Shoppers will find Wickey's larger pieces of original artwork, as well as that of 10 others she carries, in her large 2,000-square-foot A. Wickey Studio Gallery.
Wickey attended art school, but says she never wanted to be a starving artist. So, she stumbled into the artistic realm when she started as a mural/faux-finish business in
"People saw the faux-finish mural I did for that house and they wanted one like it," she said.
The business spread to friends and further via word of mouth. The artist has now considered herself a professional working artist since 2000.
She moved to South Walton in 2007.
In her new surroundings, Wickey is inspired by the scenic
Wickey creates her current artwork using Venetian plastic and acrylics on wood. Before completion, her textured paintings go through a 13-step, four-day process involving Venetian plaster, acrylic paint, glazes, and an orbital sander.
Her striking and unusual style earned her the designation of Walton County Artist of the Year for 2011.
In using the large gallery as a working studio, Wickey hopes to offer a diversified art experience. The new location is the realization of a dream by Wickey to give visitors an intimate behind-the-scenes peek at how art is created while also offering the experience of a large gallery with a variety of work displayed and available for purchase.
"I want to eliminate the intimidation level that can be common in many galleries and give our visitors a personal and welcoming experience," she said.
For the past two years, Wickey has owned and operated her gallery from
"I needed more space, bigger work space, and was looking to expand," she said of the move. "This came along at the right time."
Other artists she carries include the varied art of Francisco Adaro, Mary Hong, Paul Reynolds, Chelsea Nunn, Justin Lyons, Cody Copeland, Steve Wagner, Betsey Williamson, Christon Anderson, and Teresa Cline.
Wickey has been featured in Southern Living, Veranda, New Old House, and Better Homes and Gardens.
Her latest jewel in her crown was painting a 16-foot by 12-foot mural inside Rosemary Beach's new boutique hotel, The Pearl.
Gallery hours are 12 to 4 p.m. weekdays and kiosk hours are 12 to 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday.

- SQUIRRELnovo : de novo design of a PPARalpha agonist by bioisosteric replacement (2009)
- Shape complementarity is a compulsory condition for molecular recognition [1]. In our 3D ligand-based virtual screening approach called SQUIRREL, we combine shape-based rigid body alignment [2] with fuzzy pharmacophore scoring [3]. Retrospective validation studies demonstrate the superiority of methods which combine both shape and pharmacophore information on the family of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs). We demonstrate the real-life applicability of SQUIRREL by a prospective virtual screening study, where a potent PPARalpha agonist with an EC50 of 44 nM and 100-fold selectivity against PPARgamma has been identified. SQUIRREL molecular superposition is based on a graph-matching routine [4] and allows partial matching. We used this advantage for searching for bioisosteric replacement suggestions in a database of molecular fragments derived from a collection of drug-like compounds [5]. The bioisosteric groups suggested by our tool SQURRELnovo, can be used for ligand-based de novo design by a human expert. Using the fibrate derivative GW590735 [6] as query, we designed a novel lead structure by substitution of the acidic head group and hydrophobic tail. The synthesis and following testing in a cell-based reporter gene assay [7,8] revealed that the designed structure activates PPARalpha with an EC50 of 510 nM.

This story was updated at 4:15 p.m. May 7, 2012.
A Gaithersburg man charged with fatally shooting his son after an argument was denied bail on Monday in Montgomery County District Court.
Wayne Matthew Price, 55, who is charged with first-degree murder, answered direct questions when addressed by Judge Eugene Wolfe, who spoke to Price via a closed circuit television.
Steven Kupferberg, Price's attorney, said he likely will appeal the bail status as Price did not intend to kill his son, Matthew Eugene Price, 23, when the two fought Saturday.
"This may turn out to be a lesser charge than first-degree murder," Kupferberg said after the hearing,
Kupferberg said his client and his son fought before the shot was fired and cited "significant bruises" on his client. Kupferberg said a charge of manslaughter would be more appropriate given the circumstances of the case.
"My understanding of the case is that they had a disagreement over whether the young man was going to stay in the apartment." Kupferberg said. "My client attempted to call 911, he attempted to talk to a police officer who lived in his apartment building and he stayed at the scene and was fully cooperative with police."
Montgomery County Assistant State's Attorney Jeffrey Wennar painted a different picture of Wayne Price. He said the retired military serviceman refused to try to revive his son or try to save his life.
"He raised the gun, pointed it at [his son] and shot him in the center body mass," Wennar told Wolfe with a shrug.
Family members, including the elder Price's mother, sister and two brothers, were in court Monday but declined to comment.
Officers responded to an apartment in the 7900 block of Spiceberry Circle in Gaithersburg around 8:44 p.m. Saturday for a report of a shooting, and found Matthew Eugene Price with a gunshot wound, according to police. Attempts to revive Price, who was on the pavement in front of the building, were unsuccessful and he died at the scene, police said.
Wayne Price told police he shot his son during an fight and detectives seized the gun, police said.
Kupferberg declined to discuss details regarding his client's military service or training. Kupferberg did say Wayne Price is a security guard who legally owned the gun used in the killing.
Wayne Price is scheduled to have a preliminary hearing in his case June 1.

The Vatican chipped a wee bit from the religious ignorance boulder yesterday when they acknowledged that Darwin was right about that whole evolution thing. In doing so, they officially gave the kiss-off to Intelligent Design, more or less dismissing it out of hand, as any thinking person has already done.
I'm not Catholic, and I don't want to fall into the trap of gushing on and on about how something I'm not now, nor have ever been a part of, is sooooo much better than what's closer at hand. That said, it strikes me as particularly powerful, the degree to which the Vatican seems to have actual scholars actually thinking about these issues, as opposed to the American fundamentalist Protestant approach of creating a think tank to generate misinformation that flies directly in the face of painfully obvious science.
Granted, the Vatican's scholarship only goes so far in the face of their continued anti-straight-male rights positions, and I also seem to remember something about a coverup and some kids? Something. Still, let's give them credit for cracking a book.
Another important point that's brought up in the article:
Professor [Marc Leclerc, who teaches natural philosophy at the Gregorian University] said that too many opponents of Darwin – above all Creationists – had mistakenly claimed that his theories were "totally incompatible with a religious vision of reality," as did proponents of Intelligent Design.
I would say I'm baffled by the fact that nobody in the American Taliban has stood up and acknowledged this idea (really, could all-powerful God have NOT created things He knew would evolve?), but doing so would remove a hugely popular bludgeon from their arsenal in the ongoing, completely fabricated culture war. The idea that Christian ideals and ideas are being persecuted by a callous Liberal Elite Establishment is key to keeping the wedge between fundamentalists and everyone else firmly in place. They keep their people feeling alienated, their alienation unifies them, and they flock to the polls when another W shows up on election day.
