Last time I read about Greg Mortenson in The New York Times, it was for having his book picked up as part of the U.S. military's cultural understanding of Afghanistan. This evening, I started following the story of his alleged fabrications of much of his story in Three Cups of Tea and Stones into Schools, feeling really disappointed that the attention of his work is now shifting away from the issue of girls education to his management of a non-profit and the liberties he and his co-author took with nonfiction.
I will continue to follow this story, but for now, here's the interview Greg Mortenson granted Outside magazine.

The STL Great Debates
The Saint Louis Great Debates | Missouri History Museum
There's another great opportunity coming to the Missouri History Museum in the upcoming week: the Saint Louis Great Debates. This debate will focus on the region's economic development. There will be several speakers, and then there will be a moderated discussion following the speakers' presentation. This is great timing in terms of coinciding with the Solutions Project. Check out the above link for more information, and to secure your spot. It's best to make a reservation for this event, as the last debate was filled to capacity.
The St. Louis Great Debates will be at the History Museum on Tuesday, January 25, at 7:00 p.m. The doors open at 6:30 p.m.
