Tim Curran, the Eagle Scout who acknowledges he was "the first to find out you couldn't be gay in Scouting" (he was expelled when his sexuality was revealed), had been raising awareness of the BSA policy since 1980. James Dale, another expelled Eagle Scout, took the BSA to court in 1999 and won in the State of New Jersey. The U.S. Supreme Court then overturned the decision by a five to four vote, stating that the BSA is a private organization that can maintain whatever membership requirements it desires.

KeyWorx is a free application for Macintosh computers, developed at the Waag Society for Old and New Media in Holland, that enables video and audio mixing in realtime using any combination of "prepared media " (video, sound, text and image clips) as well as "live media" (dv camera, webcam, internet streams, audio inputs, typing text on the keyboard, etc.).
It is particularly interesting in conjunction with dance or movement since it has the ability to capture live video into a buffer allowing you to apply filters and transformations on the fly without having to render anything in advance. Likewise, its ability to sync with audio, allow multiple artists to collaborate on the same ouput, and its native support for numerous external controllers (wacom tablets, joysticks, cell phones, midi devices, etc.) make it an attractive tool for VJing and audio/visual installations.
