http://www.democracynow.org - The White House has announced it will posthumously award the highest civilian award in the United States, the Presidential Medal of Freedom, to the trailblazing civil rights activist Bayard Rustin. Obama will honor Rustin and 15 others including President Bill Clinton, Oprah Winfrey and baseball great Ernie Banks at the White House later this year. Rustin was a key advisor to Martin Luther King Jr. and introduced him to Mahatma Gandhi's teachings on nonviolence. Rustin helped King start the Southern Christian Leadership Conference in 1957. Six years later, he was the chief organizer of the historic 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, rallying hundreds of thousands of people for economic justice, full employment, voting rights and equal opportunity. “Rustin was one of the most important social justice activists in the U.S. in the 20th century,” says John D'Emilio, author of "Lost Prophet: The Life and Times of Bayard Rustin,” “Rustin pioneered the use of Gandhian nonviolence as a way of calling attention to segregation and other forms of racism in the United States.” We also speak to former NAACP chair Julian Bond and Rustin’s partner, Walter Naegle.

Greece has had a hard time dealing with austerity measures imposed by its European counterparts. But there's one mayor, the tattooed, foul-mouthed scion of a winemaking dynasty, who European leaders call a "beacon of hope" for the country.

If you think living in Greece in an age of austerity is tough, try running one of its cities

Are some ice creams “meltier” than others? This is a question that Maya Warren, an ice cream expert and Ph.D. candidate in food science, explores at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Despite the simple sweetness of a scoop of ice cream, this frozen dairy product has a complicated microstructure. And this complex combination of air cells, ice crystals, and fat globules—to name a few constituents—affects the way in which different kinds of ice cream melt and collapse.

Total Meltdown: The Rate of Ice Cream Collapse

Mountains of ice, some 11,000 feet tall. A gorge five times deeper than the Grand Canyon. And active, young surfaces, barely pockmarked by craters. Those are just a few of the surprising features that the New Horizons spacecraft beamed back this week, after its flyby of Pluto and its moons. Cathy Olkin, deputy project scientist for the mission, says Pluto and Charon are far different than she imagined, revealing an unexpected, puzzling variety of terrains. “Welcome to the outer solar system,” she says. Olkin joins Jim Green, NASA’s head of planetary science, to discuss the latest findings.
