 July Human Resource E-Bulletin from DLRP
Fox claimed that the harassment he experienced at GM caused him both physical and emotional injury and offered testimony from his psychiatrist and his neurologist that Fox complained of harassment at work to them.
Fox was physically able to return to light duty work but the harassment caused depression and anxiety, which led to a worsening of Fox's physical condition.
Fox's testimony as to the specific nature of his "emotional pain, suffering, inconvenience, mental anguish, [and] loss of enjoyment of life," 42 U.S.C. § 1981a(b)(3), and the corroboration of his claim by medical professionals, the $200,000 award was upheld.

 Sac and Fox Language and the Sac and Fox Indian Tribe (Mesquakie-Sauk, Meskwaki, Mesquaki)
Sac and Fox Language and the Sac and Fox Indian Tribe (Mesquakie-Sauk, Meskwaki, Mesquaki)
The two dialects, Mesquakie (spoken by the Meskwaki, or Fox) and Sauk (spoken by the Asakiwaki, or Sac), are mutually intelligible.
Luckily for the Fox and Sauk, the various Native Americans allied with the French were starting to put more and more pressure on them to abandon their commitment to genocide, and the French eventually gave in and made reluctant peace with the Sac and Fox tribes.

 The Java Grande forum pushes Java toward new heights   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
Fox said that all the way back in 1996, he looked down the road and realized that soon the best young minds would no longer be interested in programming in Fortran and C++; he was convinced that eventually those two languages "wouldn't cut it" for high-end scientific apps.
Fox, who is also the director of the Northeast Parallel Architectures Center and a professor of physics and computer science at Syracuse University, admits that, at that early stage of the language's development, he had to agree with his colleagues' concerns about Java's performance.
Fox notes that "the disadvantages of this in the [high-end computing] community are sufficiently high" to encourage alternatives that might improve performance.

 True ‘Creation Spirituality’, by Dr Andrew Basden
Fox proposes ‘Four Paths’ to delineate what he feels is important in the light of the ambivalence of some streams of Christianity in their attitude towards God’s creation.
Fox seems to have suffered at the hands of a modern ‘Fall-Only’ imbalance, and he blames this theology for most of what he perceives as today’s ills, such as environmental damage and the oppression of tribal peoples.
Fox’s response was to reject it and seek a theology in which the Fall is diminished (though he acknowledges the presence of evil) and Creation is emphasised at its expense, as depicted in Fig.

 Facts for Kids: Sac and Fox Indians (Mesquakie-Sauk)
The Fox and Sauks are original residents of Michigan and Wisconsin.
In the past, the Sac and Fox tribes were each ruled by two male chiefs: one "peace chief," who inherited the position from his father and was in charge of diplomatic and domestic affairs, and one "war chief," who was elected by the other warriors and was in charge of military and police affairs.

 Distinct from his Saints?
Fox writes, "God's Christ is not distinct from his saints." Bunyan, whose marginal note was concerned to distinguish the real historical Christ from an imaginary Christ present in the Quakers, would surely have been even more scandalized at the apparent implication that Christ was not even to be distinguished from the Quakers themselves.
According to Timpson and Bunyan (on Fox's reading), Christ is to be found in religious rites but not in Christians themselves; according to the Quakers, he is to be found in the saints but not in outward forms or ordinances.
Fox does not accuse Timpson and Bunyan of thinking that Christ is the ordinances; his objection rather is that "thou art deceived, who thinks to find the living among the dead," i.e.

In the research on language learning in study abroad, studies frequently document the significance or enhanced impact of individual differences in achievement; these differences are either left unexplained or ascribed to motivational deficits or other affective variables.
Through attention to the particular features of each student's desires and experiences, the cases suggest that the autonomous, self-directed achiever portrayed in many accounts of study abroad is a fictional character, shaped by the hopeful voluntarism of American educational research and, more broadly, by western views on the metaphysical independence of the self.

In more recent times, plain language proponents moved on to focus on the benefits that plain language can deliver to the people whom the movement was seeking to convert—key decision-makers in business and in government.

My research is on American Indian languages, especially the Algonquian languages Fox (Mesquakie) and Cree, examining issues of morphology, syntax, and discourse-pragmatic relations.
In my work, however, I develop several syntactic tests for grammatical relations in Cree and in Fox, which show that the inverse verbs (at least in these two Algonquian languages) are active, not passive.
For Fox, my research on obviation, narrative structure, and the analysis of syntactic constructions in a discourse context has been greatly aided by a remarkable corpus of texts collected in the early part of this century by the ethnologist Truman Michelson and now stored at the National Anthropological Archives, Smithsonian Institution.
