...both impossible and harmful to the people of Sudan. Our policy is narrowly tailored to ensure that only companies that are funding the genocide and doing nothing to stop it—just like Petrochina and Sinopec—are targeted. Harvard has already decided two companies of this type merit divestment for their role in the genocide; we are merely asking them to extend this policy to other similar companies. We agree that extensive research and shareholder engagement should occur before any company is targeted for divestment, but campus advocacy need not occur every time...
...establish a genial connection between the star and his audience. That's Ferrell's main achievement during this hot run of his. Since his first smash, the 2003 Elf (still his highest grosser), he has kept busy and lucky: building a succession of hits, dabbling in the higher-IQ type of comedy (Stranger Than Fiction), cameoing in his friends' films, occasionally lending his luster to indies nobody sees.

"There weren't networks," says Becky Hunter, 55, wife of the well-known pastor Joel Hunter of Orlando-based Northland, a Church Distributed. "There were denominational groups and retreat-type things." The Web, she says, offers more immediate and constant support. Hunter is president of the GPWN, spun off from the Global Pastors Network five years ago.
