Hyundai Ioniq range to reach 320 km by 2018
Hyundai is preparing to launch the new Ioniq also in America, and the car will be on display as local preview in the coming days at the Los Angeles International Auto Show.
As known, Ioniq is a revolutionary car with three different "green" power supplies: hybrid, plug-in hybrid and pure electric.
During an event organized at the technical center in Ann Arbor, Michigan, Ahn Byung-ki, director of Hyundai's eco-vehicle performance group, anticipates that by 2018 Ioniq will have a range of about 320 km with a single battery charge compared to about 200 km today to better meet the needs of consumers.
Reaching around 320 km, the Ioniq's range will be practically similar to that of rival electric vehicles as Tesla Model 3 and Nissan Leaf, approaching to about 380 km of the new Chevrolet Bolt.

Spinal Cord Injuries in Los AngelesUpdated on Sunday 12th February 2017

Spinal cord injuries are among the most serious types of injuries a victim in Los Angeles can experience as a result of a personal injury accident. Because the medical expenses associated with this type of injuries will often exceed the coverage of an insurance, you should seek the services of a Los Angeles personal injury attorney. Only a professional will be able to obtain the true compensations for the physical and emotional damages sustained in an accident that has resulted in a spinal cord injury and for the costs of the medical treatments.
The severity of a spinal cord injury after an accident in L.A.
Spinal cord injuries can occur in various types of accidents, however, some of the most common ones that can cause such major trauma are car accidents, other motor vehicle accidents or slip and fall accidents. These types of injuries can also occur while the victim was performing recreational sports activities, that should have been safe, or during acts of violence.
A spinal cord injury means that the victim will lose motor control and sensation either partially or fully. Victims can become paralyzed from the waist down or, in more severe cases, from the neck down. While some victims may not become paralyzed, they will still experience loss in the normal functions of the body.
Victims who suffer from spinal cord injuries may require lifelong care and treatment. This is why you should seek legal help in order to be able to receive compensations for the extensive medical care required for this type of injuries.
The injured individual and his family are often overwhelmed by the impact this type of injury inflicts on their lives. A settlement calculator is a useful tool to determine costs like those for the medical treatment, the future medical expenses, and the lost wages. A victim that has suffered such a traumatic injury will not be able to work as he or she used to and may never be able to perform an activity from which he/she can derive enough income.
Permanent and/or long-term injuries are not adequately calculated with what is known as the per day rate: a certain amount that is established for each day the victim has to suffer from the accident. Residual injuries will increase the total amount of the compensation. A lawyer is the one who can help you state your case in such a manner that it will be obvious for the jury that you need higher compensations because of your extensive suffering. Documented support is needed in this case and you can talk to your doctor to obtain the needed medical records that prove the fact that your injury is permanent.
We invite you to watch a video that summarizes the main issues concerning spinal cord injuries:
Request professional help from a Los Angeles personal injury attorney
A Los Angeles personal injury lawyer will be able to help you make a claim for obtaining compensations. One of our lawyers will help you gather the needed evidence in order to determine the negligent party. While most spinal cord injuries are caused by accidents or even while using defective products, if you sustained an injury while performing extreme sports like bungee jumping, the defendant can use the "assumption of the risk" defense and you may lose all or part of your monetary claim.
If you have been the victim of an accident that resulted in a spinal cord injury, one of our personal injury attorneys in Los Angeles can help you obtain the monetary compensations you deserve.
You can contact our Los Angeles personal injury attorneys if you have any questions about your right as a victim in L.A.

Learnings from Merger and Re-Structure Process
Arkansas Annual Conference
Texas Annual Conference
Mission begins, continues and ends in God. God's mission, God's kingdom coming on earth as it is in heaven, was revealed in the life, death and resurrection of Jesus. Through the Holy Spirit, the Church, the Body of Christ is called to be a mission-shaped church.
The United Methodist Church articulates its purpose/mission this way: "to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world."
Merger, re-structure and/or re-organization take a huge amount of energy from the best leaders of the conference.
The only good motive for uniting conferences and/or re-organizing existing ones is to further the mission of the church.
Many of our UMC members, officers, leaders do not understand their God-given purpose/mission.
It is critical to agree about key values.
Purpose without alignment of the structure and the budget is just playing with words.
Merger or re-organization is a long-term process.
In Texas, the re-organization, re-districting and budget re-alignment occurred in 12 months.
Minimizing structure is a good thing.
Expect resistance. Learn from it. Adapt.
Work with the 20% who are ready.
It is not possible to over-communicate, but it is possible to be too un-focused in communication.
Trust is everything.
Stay in touch.
When we think we have arrived, we have only started.
Christian ministry is rooted in the heart of God. It grows and matures in the form of Christ. It brings forth fruit by the power of the Holy Spirit.
Christian discipleship and pastoral leadership thrive in a rich, diverse environment of Christian community and engagement with the world.
Pastoral leaders are called as faithful, fruitful disciples of Jesus.
Out of their baptism, some persons are called to pastoral ministry.

UFC 174 results: Johnson and MacDonald establish dominance
article by Adam LeBarr/ video courtesy of Fox Sports
UFC 174, in Vancouver, BC was filled with dominance, excitement and moments where if you blinked, you missed significant moments. This was the first time flyweights would main-event a PPV (pay-per-view) fight card, and they showed the fans why they deserve recognition and why they deserve to be in the top spot.
Ovince Saint Preux vs. Ryan Jimmo wasn't the most exciting fight, but not a terrible start to the PPV fight card.
The first round didn't have a ton of action - a few solid strikes landed for Saint Preux, bloodying the nose of Jimmo. Heading into the second round, Jimmo immediately rushed OSP, pushing him to the cage. Moving along, Saint Preux was able to grab the leg of Jimmo on a failed kick attempt, then putting him to the mat. Just minutes into the round, Jimmo while on the bottom yelled to the referee: "it's broken, it's broken!" -- Saint Preux pried Jimmo's arm back, just to make sure the fight would end there.
Ovince Saint Preux victorious by way of verbal tap.
Andrei Arlovski vs. Brendan Schaub was lackluster, especially in the first 2 rounds of the fight.
Heading into the 3rd round, it looked to have been one round a piece for each (Schaub and Arlovski). In the 3rd round, Schaub successfully gained a takedown, where most of the damage done would be delivered. After dominating on the mat, Schaub was forced by 'The Pitbull' to get back to his feet, where Arlovski would land with a few shots of his own -- one puffing out the cheek of Schaub.
Ultimately, via: Split decision, Arlovski came out on top, which was a bit of a surprise for some. Arlovski in his return looked very hesitant, also while in the clinch with Schaub, it was more of him keeping control, rather then moving forward.
In the Bader/Cavalcante fight, long story short, it was pure domination for Ryan Bader.
From round 1 until the end of the fight, Bader overwhelmed Cavalcante with takedowns. Though most were defended, Bader would ultimately get the fight to the mat. In the 3rd round, Cavalcante finally looked to have opened up, but not for long.
Rafael Cavalcante had close to zero head/foot movement, showing no respect for the power Bader posses. In the end, Ryan Bader was the victor by way of unanimous decision. All three judges had the fight 30-27.
In the co-main event of the evening, Rory MacDonald and Tyron Woodley went head to head, both looking to make a statement, searching for a title shot against current champion Johny Hendricks.
Throughout the fight, in every aspect, Rory MacDonald dominated Tyron Woodley. If the fight wasn't on the mat, it was MacDonald taking octagon control, pushing Woodley back to the cage.
After his performance, he earned a dominant decision victory. He states post fight; He knows there's a big fight coming up (Brown vs. Lawler), but says he's ready. "The belt will be mine". Says he respects the UFC's decision to grant winner of that fight a titleshot. MacDonald happy with whoever the UFC puts him up against next.
Demetrious Johnson, the only champion ever inside the flyweight division took on Ali Bagautinov -- After tonight, it's hard not to say Johnson is the #1 P4P (pound for pound) fighter in the world.
In their main-event war, Johnson threw and landed an outrageous number of strikes, but Bagautinov would show no signs of defeat. There were a few times Bagautinov looked to have hurt Johnson, but unsuccessful in a follow up or finish.
Johnson, one of, if not the fastest man in the UFC, completely out struck the man (Ali Bagautinov) trying to take the title away from him. Bagautinov is normally a dominant fighter, but tonight, he was completely overwhelmed by the champion, Johnson.
The fight reached the end of the 5th, bringing both Johnson and Bagautinov to a final decision, where Johnson had all three judges scoring the fight in his favor, 50-45.
Post-fight, Joe Rogan reminded Johnson that basically everyone worthy/top of the flyweight division is someone he's already defeated. 'Might Mouse' replied he plans on remaining the king of the division, knocking down anyone who steps up.
Main card:
Demetrious Johnson def. Ali Bagautinov via unanimous decision
Rory MacDonald def. Tyron Woodley via unanimous decision
Ryan Bader def. Rafael Cavalcante via unanimous decision
Andrei Arlovski def. Brendan Schaub via split decision
Ovince St. Preux def. Ryan Jimmo via second-round TKO (verbal)

Acrylic on Canvas paintings done in the fall of 2014 through the Winter 2015
In the words of the artist John David O'Shaughnessy, "I am inspired by the tradition of painting, the constant element in my work is the grid and making peace with the rectangular or square shape of the canvas. My painting involves a process of discovery through the building up or breaking down of the grid."
"Over the past year I have worked on several bodies of work. In a series of oil on paper, I use a good amount of painting medium in these pieces because I like the translucency and rich oily quality it brings to the paint. I often lay down elements and then wipe out large areas building the piece up and then taking it down. I try to allow elements to be moveable and changeable, I like to knock elements off balance, moving the orientation of the piece and adding variety to the painting. Some of the paintings start with a specific idea and others come out of the process of painting itself."
"The paintings done with acrylic on canvas were done on an easel and taken off the easel and worked directly on the floor on a canvas drop cloth. These paintings were made where I have been living, in an intimate space, they are personal and where worked on over days and weeks. the nature of acrylic paint is somewhat different than oil paint and the acrylic paint brings the work to a different place because of the different process."
"In both modes of painting I often start with a single color and work off of that. Marks, line, edge shape proportions and color are all part of the language of painting and are all of concern in my work. I like to achieve a level of intimacy in my work that invites experiencing my painting on a level deeper than the surface."
"I seek to allow the physical quality of the paint and the subject or image play off of each other in my work. To me, painting by its very nature seem to suggest space, depth and the relationship of various elements. Paintings are also a single frame or point of reference, I strive for this singular quality in my a painting. I find elements of expression from the outside world come into my paintings. I am inspired by music, nature, memory, thought and the way we relate to each other and our environment. Human expression and the human condition are important issues in my work because of it allows for vulnerability and honesty."

To me, this is a minor issue. I have developed some design aids of my own over the years, which I used (and most, eventually discarded as I came up with better solutions) and which I'm sure others have taken and used. Unless you are into "commercial potential" for these kinds of things (i.e. you want to SELL them rather than just use them) there is nothing preventing you from keeping copies of your stuff you've developed and using them at the next venue, etc. I have found that even employers with rather strict computer software use policies, like mine, find it hard to police everything (and most of the rules are "catch alls" designed to make management feel better, anyway. Sort of like the "illegal aliens" laws). > -----Original Message----- > From: Jim Kestner [mailto:jkestner(--nospam--at)somervilleinc.com] > Sent: Friday, August 13, 1999 3:20 PM > To: seaint(--nospam--at)seaint.org > Subject: Re: Employers Rights to your Spreadsheets > > > I am in general agreement with many points William Kiel made and my > philosphy is similar.

Parker! Parker! Get out there and get me some pictures of that menace! He tried to steal an Xbox One! Maybe that's news? What do I pay you people for?!
OK, so, not really. It was a guy in a Spider-Man hoodie, the hood zipped into a mask around his face to keep his identity a secret, because people he loves could be hurt if people knew who he was. This happened up in Chesterfield Township, Mich. which is a suburb northeast of Detroit. It happened at 12:30 a.m. Central time on Friday, which is 90 minutes after the console's midnight EDT launch.
So, unlike Bakersfield last week with the PlayStation 4 (twice!) we can't call this the First Robbery of the Xbox One, because Spidey didn't get the goods. Two sisters say they saw a man lingering by the exit of a Meijer store. As they walked by him on the way to their car, he came up from behind, with the hood zipped into a Spider-Man mask.

2016 was a good year, filled with growth and good times. I guess I finally paid off my karmic debt, because I was on fire this year. From the ups and downs, acquaintances gained and friends lost, 2016 was interesting as f*ck. Here are a couple of lessons life taught me through out the year. Some of them may sound cliche, but they're real as f*ck. So, here's to 2017. May the turn up be real!
- Just because they're around you all the time doesn't make them a friend
- Don't romanticize how you get your money
- There are a lot of people betting on your success. And even more on your downfall.
- Every job, industry and environment comes with politics and drama. It's up to you to separate yourself from the bullsh*t
- Don't waste you're time with people that wouldn't waste their time with you
- Shoot your shot. You never know if you'll hit that 3
- Music gives me comfort
- Do what you need, not what you want
- It's OK to take a break
- It's a small world. Especially in LA

On Thanksgiving Day, thousands of Metro Detroiters will line the streets of historic Woodward Avenue for the 89th Annual America's Thanksgiving Parade.

Employers who fail to curb the behaviour of very noisy staff face unlimited fines or even imprisonment under new health and safety regulations that the Government is planning to introduce next year.
The new regime for safe noise exposure at work has been drawn up by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) and may lead to some office workers wearing headphones. Ministers are set to approve the rules, which introduce a European Union directive lowering the decibel exposure limit from 85 to 80 decibels (dB).
Bars and clubs in which loud music is played are expected to face the brunt of the tougher limits, but open-plan offices in which staff have to shout to do their jobs will also be affected by the proposal.
Lawyers believe City dealing rooms and call centres could be the first to fall foul of the new noise regime. The overall cost to business is estimated to be £110m in the first year.
Martin Edwards, head of employment law at Mace & Jones in Liverpool, warns that the new rules go much further than concerns expressed on behalf of those people working in clubs and pubs: "What if your work colleagues are consistently raucous or keep shouting messages or orders? The row they make may sometimes be louder than a loud radio - which, at 75dB is within acceptable limits.
"Health and Safety Executive guidance says there may be a problem if you have to shout to be clearly heard by someone two metres away. Workers regularly exposed to noise levels of 85dB must be subject to health surveillance. Obvious danger areas include construction sites - a chainsaw may reach 115dB or more - but people working at discos and football grounds may also be at risk."
Concerns have also been raised by orchestras, whose musicians may have to play more quietly from February 2006. A single trumpet is said to play up to 130dB and the Association of British Orchestras, which is seeking an exemption from the legislation, fears that the directive would effectively silence performances.
About 700,000 people, mostly in industrial jobs, are affected by the current decibel rules. The new limit would affect a further 400,000 workers.
Hugh Robertson, head of Health and Safety at the Trades Union Congress, said that the vast majority of open-plan offices would be unaffected by the new regulations. But he said the impact of any continuous noise that exceeded the new 80dB level could be reduced by putting up office partitions or making staff wear "binaural headphones".
But, he added: "To reach these levels would involve people yelling and shouting outside your office. Ordinary conversations are about 40dB, loud conversations reach 50dB. 60dB would be very loud."
A noise assessment study published by the HSE found that the regulations would have "large, long-term health and safety benefits from the introduction of new requirements designed to reduce noise exposure further and provide for greater health surveillance."
The HSE estimates that the changes will save between £265m and £582m in NHS and other costs over 10 years.

|Thu, 30 Oct 2008 05:28:44 GMT
Hi Aditi, As Eric mentioned, we'd need to know more to provide a rather apt solution. At the same time, a prefix wildcard is a highly unoptimized thing for lucene because of the way the index is stored/read. Ideally you'd atleast want to reverse the tokens as already mentioned. This is because the index terms are lexically sorted while storing and so the seem/fetch is efficient under normal cases(and not under the case of a prefix wildcard). -- Anshum Gupta Naukri Labs! http://ai-cafe.blogspot.com The facts expressed here belong to everybody, the opinions to me.

Fighting in the former British colony increased yesterday as rebel forces captured a town only 12 miles outside the capital. As tensions rose in the city a mob burnt alive at least two men accused of spying for the rebels.
Later today the British High Commissioner, Sir Peter Penfold, will meet West African heads of state in the Ivory Coast capital, Abidjan, to discuss the crisis and offer Britain's continued support for President Tejan Kabbah. It is understood that while Britain may offer "logistical" support it will not offer any military assistance.
The fight against the rebels is being co-ordinated by the Nigerian-led Economic Community of West African States Monitoring Observer Group (Ecomog). The same coalition, aided by the mercenary firm Sandline, was responsible for restoring President Kabbah to power last February.
Ecomog has been reinforcing its forces in Freetown in anticipation of an attack from the rebel Revolutionary United Front (RUF), led by Sam Bockarie.
Yesterday Commander Bockarie said: "We are going to march into Freetown on New Year's Day... We have the will and the way.
"When we start shelling the city we won't stop," said Commander Bockarie. "It's too late for talking and listening."
The rebels are believed to have taken control of Waterloo, a town 12 miles from Freetown. There was also heavy fighting yesterday in Makeni, 60 miles away in the centre of the country. Both sides claimed to have taken control of the town.
Ecomog forces said they had killed 50 rebels in bombing raids on RUF positions. An official at Ecomog's headquarters in Freetown said he expected Nigerian planes to go into action again against rebels who had regrouped at the Makeni Teachers College on the southeastern highway to Magburaka.
The college is on the edge of the city and close to Ecomog's main military base in the north.
"Most of the civilians in Makeni and the surrounding area have fled so we are only left face-to-face with the rebels," said the official.
While it was impossible to verify the claims of either side, the presence of rebel troops so close to Freetown indicates a swift reversal in the fortunes of Ecomog, which has been confidently and repeatedly predicting the demise of the RUF for the past 10 months. Mr Bockarie said his forces had killed at least 100 Nigerian troops.
At today's meeting Sir Peter will stress Britain's support of President Kabbah. The two men regularly met after the President was ousted.
"The meeting will attempt to assess the situation. Sir Peter will make clear our support for President Kabbah," said a Foreign Office spokesman.
Sir Peter was partly responsible for the involvement of Sandline in February's counter-coup, when arms and equipment were flown to Sierra Leone in breach of sanctions. Sandline's involvement triggered government inquiries into whether the mercenaries were encouraged to act by British officials. The company declined to comment yesterday.
President Kabbah was driven from power in May 1997 by Lieutenant-Colonel Johnny Koroma, who established a military junta with the RUF.
The President is refusing to talk to the rebels, who are demanding the release of their leader Foday Sankoh - currently imprisoned and appealing against a death sentenceimposed for his role in ousting the President in May 1997.
The Foreign Office said about 50 British nationals remained in Sierra Leone. Some 81 British and other European nationals have been evacuated.Reuse content

Distilled water is the most chemically pure form of water, as well as being safe to drink. Made of mostly whole water molecules and very few free ions and used primarily in chemical experiments, distilled water is less reactive than other liquids used for dilution.
Other People Are Reading
Distilled Water on pH Scale
Distilled water has a pH range of 5.6 to 7. The pH scale measures solutions from 0 (acidic) to 14 (alkaline). Acidic solutions have one extra electron that is unstable, whereas alkaline solutions need one electron to remain stable.
Effect of Carbon Dioxide on Acidity
Distilled water is often acidic because carbon dioxide in the air easily dissolves in the water. The carbonic acid made from the reaction breaks down into two unstable ions looking to make bonds. These qualities cause distilled water's acidic characteristics.
Can Distilled Water Reach Neutral pH?
Hypothetically, distilled water should always be at a neutral pH 7. Immediately upon being exposed to air, however, distilled water's pH decreases and becomes more acidic. Neutralising distilled water is possible, but its neutral pH does not last.

Reporter: Geoff Thompson
There's nothing punk musicians like more than provoking controversy - but in Indonesia an attack on cultural core values and institutions can be dangerous.Jakarta Correspondent, Geoff Thompson met a group of young musicians in Jogjakarta willing to take that risk. "If we play in front of the wrong audience ... maybe we could be killed or we could be in trouble," says Punkasila band member Wimo Ambala. Punkasila pokes fun at some of Indonesia's sacred cows, from the military to the ideological principles of the nation. The band is due to tour Australia in late May.

Are Yoga Pants a Symbol of Class Warfare?By Joseph Orosco I was walking to class today–an abnormally warm, sunny day for Oregon in October–and I was struck that almost every student I passed looked like they were dressed for going the gym.

People love Angelina Jolie. Johnny Depp has a huge fan base. Put 'em both in one movie — for the very first time — and you'd think it would be box office gold! Instead, The Tourist tanked.
The film, which had a budget of about $100 million, made a measly $17 million this weekend. It came in second, after the new Narnia movie and before Tangled, which has been out for three weeks and already grossed $115,623,000.
What went wrong? I'd like to blame the crappy marketing, including the weird, humorless, cliché-filled trailer. The movie didn't seem funny enough to be a comedy, or high-stakes enough to be a thrilling action film. Angelina was dressed like Grace Kelly instead of the blood vial-toting vixen we fell for, and Johnny Depp, well, his face seemed uncharacteristically puffy, and he clearly wasn't having any fun. The Jack Sparrow sparkle was missing.

Nearly a year on from the great student protests and occupations of 2010, we are proud to release The Assault on Universities: A Manifesto for Resistance, edited by Michael Bailey and Des Freedman.
With contributions from academics and students who are directly involved in the movement, The Assault on Universities is a contribution to the struggle for the soul of our higher education system. As well as offering an incisive critique of government policy, the book looks at what kind of university we should be fighting for, and considers strategies to take the campaign forward in the new academic year.
The book is also the launch-pad the 'Manifesto for Higher Education' which puts forward concrete alternative proposals to the governments agenda. Already over 500 people have added their names including: John McDonnell MP, John Pilger, Professor Richard Sennett, Neal Lawson (chair of Compass), Professor Ernesto Laclau, Nick Davies (journalist who exposed phone-hacking at the News of the World), Professor Nancy Fraser and China Mieville (award winning author). To view the demands of the Manifesto and to add your name visit the campaign website.
We have a number of other great books releasing this month across a range of topics. Tim Beal's Crisis in Korea: America, China and the Risk of War explores the tensions between north and south Korea and how these fit in to the wider geo-political picture. Henry Heller's The Birth of Capitalism: A 21st Century Perspective kicks off our new series 'The Future of World Capitalism' by looking at the contemporary relevance of the debates between the 'big beasts' of Marxist history over the transition from feudalism to capitalism. Finn Bowring's Hannah Arendt: A Critical Introduction considers Arendt's ideas in relation to major thinkers such as Marx, Weber, Habermas and Foucault and assesses the relevance of her views on totalitarianism, the public sphere and political responsibility. Sandra Wallman's The Capability of Places is a major anthropological study drawing on decades of research which looks at how different communities cope with diverse external threats to their social and environmental life.
The Assault on Universities
A Manifesto for Resistance
Edited by Michael Bailey and Des Freedman
Sharp, informed essays take on the governments agenda of university cuts and fee increases, and outline an alternative manifesto for higher education.
"The corporatising of universal education is one of the most insidious and dangerous attacks on the very notion of human rights. This book calls us to arms. Every student, every educator who cares should read it." – John Pilger
"This is an essential book. The future of our universities is up for grabs and the manifesto will play a huge role in providing alternatives at a time when the government says there aren't any." – Clare Solomon, President of the University of London Union (ULU) 2010-2011 and editor of Springtime (2011)
Crisis in Korea
America, China and the Risk of War
Tim Beal
Balanced and deeply informed study of the increasingly volatile relations between North and South Korea and US concern about the rise of China.
The Birth of Capitalism
A 21st Century Perspective
Henry Heller
Fresh intervention into the historical debate over the transition from feudalism to capitalism. Considers the past and possible future of capitalism.
Hannah Arendt
A Critical Introduction
Finn Bowring
A careful and comprehensive study introducing the ideas of Hannah Arendt to students in the social sciences.
"Hannah Arendt: A Critical Introduction presents an original and highly developed perspective on the influence of Arendt's thinking on the social sciences, just as scholars in a number of related disciplines are beginning to rethink the relevance of Arendt's work beyond political theory." – Dimitris Papadopoulos, Reader in Sociology and Organisation at the University of Leicester and co-author of Escape Routes (Pluto, 2008)
The Capability of Places
Methods for Modelling Community Response to Intrusion and Change
Sandra Wallman
Explores how we can measure and compare the resilience of communities, looking in detail at neighbourhoods in London, Rome and Zambia.
"Fieldwork, comparison, team collaboration, longitudinal research – all in one study, and one book! There is a sophisticated ethnographic eye, and a productive synthesis of perspectives from social anthropology and related fields. As anthropologists renew their methodology, to face widening practical and theoretical challenges, they can learn much from Sandra Wallman's team." – Ulf Hannerz, Professor Emeritus of Social Anthropology, Stockholm University and author of Cultural Complexity (1992), Transnational Connections (1996) and Anthropology's World (Pluto, 2010).
"This book is a helpful combination of academic analysis and practical insights. It should be useful to anyone seeking to empower communities to act for public health or local development." – David Nabarro, United Nations Special Representative on Food Security and Nutrition

Resurrection Christian Academy, a private school that participated in the Milwaukee Parental Choice Program up until this year, has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.
Recent court documents show that school leader Mary Jones filed for bankkrupcy for the business on March 23.
The school was evicted from its rented space at 8634 W. Brown Deer Road - incidentally, a former abortion clinic - on March 24, according to records at the state Department of Public Instruction.
The Academy started accepting students through the choice, or voucher, program in 2005-'06, when it listed an enrollment of just over 43 full-time children, according to the DPI. As of the second Friday in January 2010, the school reported an enrollment of 82 students.
DPI Spokesman Patrick Gasper said the state terminated Resurrection Christian Academy's participation in the voucher program this school year. Subsequently, the state withheld payments to the school in September, November and February, he added.

Democrat: Amend Constitution to Allow Control Of Speech
Rep. Hank Johnson (D-Ga.) says, "corporations control the patterns of thinking" in the United States and that the Bill of Rights to the Constitution should be amended so that the government is given the power to restrict freedom of speech.
"We need a constitutional amendment to allow the legislature to control the so-called free speech rights of corporations," said Johnson.
The U.S. Supreme Court ruling in Citizens United vs. Federal Elections Commission is that corporations have a right to freedom of speech, including the right to speak about politicians and federal officeholders during an election year.

Title: Differentials
Author: A.j.
Rating: PG-13
Characters: Scott Summers, Jean Grey, Rogue
Notes: Done because, apparently, it's XME canon that Scott was 'rescued' by Professor Xavier from an abusive foster home. And because I love Scott more than Thai food, and everyone always forgets that he wasn't always the golden boy.
Summary: "What do you see when you look at me?"
"What do you see when you look at me?" Scott wonders sometimes if he actually remembers what blue looks like. He thinks he might. He doesn't know. Pink clouds drift above him, looking perky.
"I see Scott. What kind of question is that?"
He knows Jean has red hair. Actually has red hair. It's not just tinted by his glasses. He won't ever admit it's one of the reasons he thinks she's beautiful. Loving a girl because she fits everything you think you want and actually telling her that are two different things. Besides. He knows he loves her.
He does.
"An idle one," he replies, and goes back to watching the sky.
Pain. Nails on skin. Screaming.
Scott learned not to scream, really scream, a long time ago. Kurt likes to laugh and mock him for his stoic façade and the way he never shows anything. Tries to never show anything.
"You have such a bad poker face, my friend!" Kurt has the image inducer off and is lounging on one of the sofas in the common room in boxers and a t-shirt. It's an odd combination for the younger boy and jarring for Scott in ways he doesn't want to admit. Blue and fuzzy and in an X costume or dark haired and pale in a plaid shirt. Those are the very defined images Scott has of Kurt. Thinking outside the box is scary and not something Scott likes.
"You should have pants on, you know. The girls might come in any time." Lets his voice carry a fraction of the worry that has come on like a migraine. Kurt is his friend. Kurt expects this. It is something Scott would say.
He's gotten very good at being Scott.
"A 'girl' is already here, thank you. And yes, Kurt, pants are usually a good idea." Rogue is lounging in the doorway, smirking at Kurt, but looking at him. That happens a lot. The smirking. He knows it should make him nervous.
"Mein gott, don't you ever knock?"
"It's called 'common room', fuzz ball. I kind of don't have to." She rolls her eyes as she walks over and drops onto the sofa to commandeer the TV Guide from next to him. Her gloved hand brushes the side of his khakis. The warmth of it is fleeting.
Kurt just makes a face at her and flips channels spastically.
"Done with your homework, Rogue?" Because that's something he'd say too.
"Not even close," she says, not glancing away from an article about some new music show. There's a photo of someone looking depressed with a lot of dark makeup.
"That's not very responsible. We have that English paper due next week. It's fifty percent of our grade."
She turns then. Eyes him closely before snorting and going back to her article.
That does make him nervous.
"So you said Scott's crap at being Mr. Stoic, huh Kurt?" He knows she says it just because she can. Watches her turn to smirk at him and raise an eyebrow. Dare.
He blinks. It occurs, suddenly, that if he actually looked her in the eye, he might see her screaming too. Something inside him sinks a little. Twists.
Kurt is looking away and grumbling about girls and eavesdropping, but Rogue isn't smirking anymore. She's still looking at him though. Staring, really. Head tilted and eyes guarded, she pins him to the wall.
I know. She doesn't say this. She's never said this. Not in the six months since she touched him and took everything of him into herself.
"Ja," Kurt mutters, before settling on a cooking show. "He shows so much more than he hides."
And just like that, she drops his eyes and glances at Kurt. His palms are wet, but he tells himself it's the condensation from the glass of water he's been holding.
She pokes him lightly in the arm, and when he looks up at her again everything goes a little bit cold. Like a snowstorm. Like reality.
"I don't know," Rogue turns away to face Kurt again. Scott knows that isn't exactly true. "I think Scott has a pretty good poker face all things considered. It's about control, fuzzy. Something you don't seem to have."
stands, still holding the magazine, to the sound of Nightcrawler
Waves goodbye to them over her shoulder and Scott tries not to rub
his hands together. His fingers
tingle for a long time afterwards.
Jean and Rogue save his life during their next mission. A tiny boy goes missing in the woods behind the mansion's outermost property line, and there is no reason not to help. They are nearby and trained and can easily explain their presence away later on.
It figures the kid will be stuck somewhere inaccessible and waterlogged. Scott slips on a patch of wet moss reaching for the crying child. Loses consciousness with a dull ache in his head and water rushing towards him with two voices screaming his name.
Wakes up to Jean's watery smile and grass beneath his head. The headache is splitting, but in the distance he can hear humming. It's familiar, and even as Jean clutches his hand and tells him that everything is going to be okay and that the others will be here soon, his gut clenches.
Carefully, trying to avoid any undue strain, he turns his head towards the source. It's a tune he knows well, his mother had sung that to him and Alex. Quietly and under her breath and every time it had stormed outside.
Rogue is a few feet away rocking the missing boy against her chest. He's fallen asleep, face stained with tears and streaked with snot. She is smiling down at the child, humming that song, and whispering something into his hair.
She never even looks up, even as they load them into the plane.
He doesn't let himself think that she doesn't have to.
The painkillers they give him for his minor concussion will give him nightmares. He knows this because the last time he got hit in the head they did.
Scott doesn't remember. Not if he doesn't have to. Remembering hurts.
Skin, screaming, pain, teeth, nails, "You like it boy! You little fag!" Darkness, pain, crying.
He just smiles through breakfast the next day, meeting everyone's eyes through a haze of red. Ignores that the only person who actually looks back isn't smiling at his close call. Isn't saying anything.
He didn't dream. Remembering hurts and isn't easy. But he didn't dream, and that's better.
"Your name used to be Slim." She whispers it into the dark of the garden. He doesn't flinch because he's known this was coming. He's been waiting for this for weeks.
"Yes." It surprises him that his voice is deeper. He's just a teenage boy. Scott is just a boy. Albeit one who takes things too seriously.
He feels her move, edge slowly along the path, gravel crunching under her boots. He doesn't smile at the caution, just applauds it silently. Known your enemy. Know your friend.
"You hate him. Slim." Not a question. That startles him. A lot.
"Yes." Because lying is pointless.
She is beside him then. Several feet away, but in his line of sight. It's odd to know that. Odd to realize that she's been training with him long enough to know exactly what he can and cannot see.
"I don't." Her arms are crossed around her, her head back to watch the sliver of moon peeking out over the trees.
"Why are you here, Rogue?" He is quiet with this. Scott wouldn't slam this girl up against a tree and demand to know. The stone of the bench he's on is cold under his fingers and he tries not to remember the conversation with her and Kurt. Stares pointedly up and waits.
"Because my name used to be Marie." It is not what he expected, but then she's seen his mind, knows his secrets. Not the other way around.
"Not anymore?"
"Not anymore." She tucks a strand of hair behind an ear and turns her head to face him. He can see it out of the corner of his lenses. The lighter pink of her bangs contrasts starkly with the darker hair behind it.
"Do you hate her?" Because he wants to know... something. She doesn't answer. Doesn't even flinch or move or do anything, and that's more of an answer than he deserves.
He changes the subject.
"What color is your hair?" Asks because no one has ever told him about it. No one has thought to mention it. As it should be.
"White and red."
He blinks and bites the inside of his lip. Waits because this is about him.
"She loves you." Again, not a question. "I know that. And I know how much that means to the person you want to be. To the person you have to be. I get that."
He looks at her then, for the first time. Tries to actually see the person beyond the makeup. She's seen him. She's seen Jean. She is lovely and broken in the reddish moonlight and everything inside him that was Slim claws at the image she makes. Desire flooding his brain, but for what he doesn't know.
"What do you see when you look at me, Rogue?"
She smiles. Tilts her head just a little, and Scott can see the screaming written in her eyes clear as day. Wonders how he doesn't always see it, just there.
"I see someone who wants everything. But won't ask for it."
She turns on her heel and walks away.
Later, he'll wonder what he would have said if she'd asked the same question.
