...began gathering along the side of the dirt road. The reason for the delay: the weekend's diesel delivery never arrived from Kampala. "We spent most of the morning getting the little bit of fuel out of the other trucks so we could fill two to drive here," says Simon Okiseng, a senior field worker. "If the fuel doesn't arrive today, there will be no distribution tomorrow...
...Just what these brain differences mean is still not clear. Ever since 1991, when Simon LeVay first documented differences in the hypothalamus of gay and straight men, researchers have been struggling to understand what causes these differences to occur. Until now, the brain regions that scientists have come to believe play a role in sexual orientation have been related to either reproduction or sexuality. The Swedish study, however, is the first to find differences in parts of the brain not normally involved in reproduction - the denser network of nerve connections, for example, was found in the amygdala, known...
...Brown at their London press conference. History is the judge the two leaders are relying on to decide in their favor at some indeterminate future date.

...Food Aid. African nations' own policies have also been inadequate. In 2002, African Union leaders vowed to spend 10% of their annual budgets on agricultural development; few of the 53 member nations have consistently met that target.

In short, the world is suddenly hungry because of decades of neglect. "It is as much a question...
...Mohammed, I would never have gotten the story. I did a dozen interviews about what happened to me, and when the story ended in “my translator is still in jail!” people would murmur words of support, but little more. Mallory Simon at CNN has been the only journalist to act in solidarity and maintain interest in Mohammed. Joel Campagna at the Committee to Protect Journalists has been an excellent and tireless resource...
