World Chili Cook-Off to allow bean recipes

By JOHN RABY
Associated Press

   CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) -- The notion of putting beans in chili has been a sensitive topic as long as competitive cook-offs have been around.
   So this year the International Chili Society is saying: Let's do both.
   For the first time, the ICS will have traditional red chili and bean-optional chili categories at its 46th world championship event, which returns to Charleston starting Friday.
   Chili purists contend beans are nothing more than filler. Proponents say they certainly belong.
   Organizers and competitors say adding beans to the competition will do little to quash the debate over using them.
   John Jepson of Merced, Calif., won the ICS red chili world title last year. He's entered in both the red chili and homestyle categories this time. He says the debate over beans or no beans will never end.

Obama says nation must do more for fallen heroes
May 25, 2013 10:08 GMT

By DARLENE SUPERVILLE Associated Press

WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Barack Obama says the nation must do more than just remember its fallen heroes on Memorial Day.

In his weekly radio and Internet address, Obama says the country must care for the loved ones the fallen leave behind. He says the country must also make sure that all veterans receive the care and benefits they have earned.

Obama says that, above all, the armed forces must have the support needed to carry out their missions at home and abroad.

In the Republican address, Oklahoma Sen. James Inhofe thanks the nation for its prayers and support following Monday's deadly tornado in his home state. He recalls past natural and man-made disasters in Oklahoma and says that while the state was hard hit, "we're not knocked out."
