...these programs. “More power to them,” said Greenstein of Ivy Key, “but no one can just donate their time.” Harvard Sociology lecturer David L. Ager has more hope for entrepreneurial efforts to help students of low socioeconomic status achieve equal opportunities. “It really is exciting to see more and more students involved in the macro-social phenomenon of putting their intellect toward helping the community,” he said, adding that proper funding and a sound business model created in clever and innovative ways...
Abbas has refused to relaunch negotiations with the Israelis until they agree to the freeze on construction on land conquered in 1967 - as Obama has demanded - and agree to negotiate on all final-status issues, including sharing Jerusalem and the fate of Palestinian refugees.

Yet there's also been a striking geographical reversal. The poorly paid and the unemployed were shunted into the high-rises of Wedding, in the west, as rich Berliners swooped on the elegant 19th century housing of Prenzlauer Berg, left...
