Homeless Long Island Teenager Is Intel Competition Semifinalist
(CBSNewYork / AP) - Samantha Garvey has good reason to be the recipient of high fives and congratulations from the faculty and students in the hallways at Brentwood High School.

With corporate excess in the air like a foul fog, let us consider Jorge Munoz, a Colombian schoolbus driver in Queens, N.Y. who feeds the hungry out of his pickup truck seven nights a week and has for over four years straight, spending $400 of his $700 weekly pay check to do it. Lately, he feeds over 100 people a night; he has served more than 70,000 free meals. His largesse, he says, comes easy: “My mom teach me to share.” Insatiable executives, take note.

A body has been frozen in the abandoned Roosevelt building in Detroit for at least a month. A homeless community had been living inside. Urban explorers had seen and photographed the body. Nothing was done about it, even after authorities were called. Not until a reporter got involved did anyone bother to investigate.
This sounds like something out of the final season of The Wire.
