Title: Grass installation with plugs from Austin
Answered by: Barbara Medford
As much as I would love to use the seed mixture you suggest for Austin, I am not physically able to do the needed prep and was unable last year to get a professional. No one would even call me back when they learned what I wanted. Is there any grass I can install myself with plugs that is good for Austin? All I have now are weeds. My yards was totally ignored for many years before I bought the house. The Zoysia ads are enticing..ANSWER:
We can definitely sympathize with you on grass installation; it can be very hard work, and a lot of maintenance. We are going to suggest that you forget the lawn and convert your space to a xeriscape. As we mentioned, lawns can be labor and maintenance intensive, costing a lot of money for water and fertilizer just to keep them alive.
First, let's deal with those weeds, which are no doubt going to contest mightily for the space with your grass or whatever you plant. From About.com Landscaping, here is an article on Solarization: An Easy Method for Killing Weeds. Although this sounds like a lot or work, we assume you are not dealing with dead trees or large shrubs, just a weedy space. This is a fairly complex solution, needs to be done in the summer when it's hot enough to fry the weeds and the roots, and isn't attractive while it's underway. But you will then be able to start with a clean slate, more or less.
From Bob Beyer, Travis County Master Gardener, here is an article on Dry Climate Landscaping.
We realize that all of our suggestions sound like a lot of work and expense, but they are all things you can do gradually, replacing the (hopefully dead) weeds with decomposed granite, and small beds of succulents or other plants that do well in our climate. The point is that grass of any kind is going to be difficult to plant, difficult to pay for the water to maintain it and difficult to keep alive in Austin.

Accountability: As with Fast and Furious, the designated scapegoats for the deaths of Americans at the hands of administration bungling will merely be switching desks. Only the maker of that irrelevant video is in jail.
Reports of the resignation of four State Department officials after the Accountability Review Board's (ARB) review of State Department actions before during and after the terrorist attack on our consulate in Benghazi, Libya, may have been greatly exaggerated.
Eric Boswell, the assistant secretary of state for diplomatic security, has not resigned from the department, as a State Department spokeswoman indicated Dec. 19. Boswell is instead just "switching desks," according to a report in the New York Post.
Deputy Assistant Secretaries Charlene Lamb and Raymond Maxwell, and a third who has not been identified, were placed on administrative leave after the release of the report. However, according to the Post, they are expected to return.
They were found to have shown "performance inadequacies" but not "willful misconduct."
In other words, they were merely incompetent and didn't mean for Ambassador Chris Stephens and three other Americans to get murdered by Ansar al-Sharia, a terrorist group with al-Qaida links.
Last week, spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said that Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton "has accepted Eric Boswell's decision to resign as assistant secretary for diplomatic security, effective immediately."
It turns out Boswell gave up only his presidential appointment as assistant secretary, but not his job.
He has simply moved to another desk at the State Department and is still collecting his paycheck.
This is reminiscent of the aftermath of the Fast and Furious investigations in which some ATF officials who were involved in the Obama administration's gun-running to Mexican drug cartels were simply reassigned to different desks in different offices.
There was real accountability for the deaths of agents Brian Terry and Jaime Zapata at the hands of drug cartels using U.S. provided weapons.
So far the only person to be punished in Benghazi-gate is Mark Basseley Youssef, the producer of the little-seen Internet video, "Innocence of Muslims," arrested immediately — and coincidentally, of course, after the Benghazi attack — on an unrelated probation violation.
The video, mentioned by U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice on five Sunday talk shows, six times by President Obama in a U.N. speech, and by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, is not mentioned at all in the ARB's review of State Department performance before, during and after the Benghazi terrorist attack.
Charles Woods, whose son Tyrone Woods, a former Navy SEAL, was killed during the attacks on our Libyan consulate in Benghazi, recalls that as the bodies of the four Americans arrived at Andrews Air Force Base, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said that first of all she was sorry and then she said: "We will make sure the person who made that film is arrested and prosecuted."
So far he's the only one punished in Benghazi-gate.
Secretary of State Clinton herself, of course, escapes any real accountability for Benghazi, despite her office being warned repeatedly by Ambassador Stevens and others that the consulate in Benghazi, surrounded by terrorist training camps, was a terrorist attack waiting to happen. It was her office that repeatedly denied requests for additional security while Marines protected our embassy in Barbados from drunken tourists.
Shamefully, the ARB report failed to single out any individual officials as violating procedures and did not recommend any disciplinary action.
It did attempt to scapegoat Ambassador Stevens, saying, despite clear warnings including an Aug. 16 memo warning of the dangers and pleading for help, that the embassy Stevens oversaw "did not demonstrate strong and sustained advocacy with Washington for increased security for Special Mission Benghazi."
That, as we've documented, is a lie. So is the claim anyone in the Obama administration has been held accountable for the murders of four Americans in Benghazi.
AMMAN, Jordan — Washington is getting enthusiastic about an ideological war these days: not between Democrats and Republicans — that's old news — but rather between Americans and radical Islam. Many of those who insist that we label jihadi terrorists "Islamic" now urge that we ...

I've got a street walkin' woman
She stays tall and twisted all the time
I've got a street walkin' woman
She stays tall and twisted all the time
She goes to bed with a fifth of whiskey
And she wakes up with a jug a-wine
She leaves home early in the mo'nin'
Then she don't come back until the sun's goin' down
She leaves home in the mo'nin'
An' she don't come back until the sun is goin' down
She's always got her whiskey up to her mouth
And her face full of ugly frown
I work hard every day
Try to make ends meet
I work hard every day
And try to make ends meet
All that woman wants to do
Is keep her big feet in the street
I love my street walkin' woman
She walks the avenue up and down
I love my street walkin' woman
She walks the avenue up and down
Sometime I wish she would start ta walkin'
An' keep on walkin' outta town

Recent Northville Reviews
Cozy home with lots of charm
We had a lovely long weekend visit - it was very cold outside but inside was warm and cozy with the propane fireplace doing much of the work. The home is lovely - a great layout with a good sized kitchen and comfortable beds.
Thanks for having us!
Great winter getaway
The house was fantastic - Just what I was looking for for a winter weekend get away! Bill and Lauren were very helpful and kind, especially since I had a bit of a scheduling snafu while organizing this trip. We got in late late night in the snow and Bill already had thoughtfully laid a fire in the fireplace for us, all ready to light. In the morning he came and shoveled off the walk for us! The house has a great view of the lake and was conveniently a short drive to the Lapland lake ski area that we spent the days at. Would recommend this to anyone looking for a laid back place to relax at the foot of the Adirondacks!
The owners were in fact very accommodating as the other reviews have written. The house is incredibly cozy and pleasant. We went to go cross country skiing at the lapland lake trail and we absolutely loved it. Only 10 minutes away from the XC skiing place. Couldn't have asked for a better getaway!

New Mexico officials say Chevron Corp. will pay $5.2 million to settle the state's claims that the energy company improperly applied for money from a state environmental cleanup fund.
The state says the company allegedly said it didn't have and didn't collect on insurance to pay for cleaning up petroleum contamination from Chevron's leaking underground storage tanks at gas stations around the state.
According to the state, those statements were untrue because the company got payments from insurers through secret settlements and didn't tell the state.
The state says it paid $4 million to Chevron.
The settlement was announced Wednesday by the offices of Gov. Susana Martinez and Attorney General Gary King and by the state Environment Department.

WD TV provides subtle support for Mac-format drives
It wasn't the splashiest product introduction ever, but last week's launch of Western Digital's $130 WD TV high-definition media player may have caused a few smiles for Mac users. The playback unit -- a simple configuration of a USB2 port for connecting a hard drive, and either composite (SD) or HDMI signal output -- supports a veritable alphabet soup of audio, video and photo formats for playback, including the eminently Mac-friendly AAC and H.264 codecs (unprotected content only, so no joy with iTunes Store purchases).
The unit also supports drives formatted in HFS+ as long as you turn off journaling, which is a first for third-party media players as far as I know; while the Mac could easily write to a FAT32-formatted drive for media exchange (as long as file sizes stayed below 24 GB), enabling HFS+ is a very nice gesture towards detente with the Apple-loving world.
The WD TV is available now and should work with any TV that supports composite or HDMI inputs. Without network connectivity, iTunes sync and support for protected content, it's no Apple TV -- but at $100 less for a BYOStorage player, it may just fit the bill. We'll try to get our hands on a review unit and see if we can stump it with ancient QuickTime clips and legacy MP3 files.
Update: Our pals at dealnews.com report that Dell is discounting these handy units by $30 right now.

Snow Leopard Trust Updates
Help Us Meet Our New Donor Match!
The countdown to our New Donor Match Deadline has begun!
We have until April 30th to raise $13,000 from first time donors. If we do, every dollar will be matched, doubling the impact on snow leopard conservation efforts! We have raised a total of $12,350 so far, and we need your help to make it all the way!
Take the next step and make your first ever adoption purchase or donation today!
A Snapshot of Our Success in India
With so many projects planned for this year, now is a great time to look back at some of the hard work and success of 2011. One of our focus areas for snow leopard conservation is the Spiti Valley of northern India, and we are proud to share an update about our success!
Threat to snow leopards:
Research has shown that herders in snow leopard habitats can lose 3-12% of their total livestock to snow leopards per year. This causes severe economic hardship, and snow leopards are often persecuted as a result.
Working with communities to find a solution:
In 2011, the Trust supported 10 villages in their effort to run community-based conservation programs. 7 villages are managing livestock insurance programs aimed at compensating herders for livestock to snow leopards, and 3 villages established grazing-free reserves that leave land and resources open for the snow leopard's wild prey to use.
Additionally, 20 schools in the Spiti Valley participated in multiple educational events during the year. We reached out to a total of 750 children and 50 teachers!
We center these programs on sound science and research. We used 40 research cameras to collect data for estimating snow leopard abundance and pioneered a new method to estimate prey populations. Within 5 villages, interviews were completed to assess perceptions and attitudes towards snow leopards as well.
Because you support our efforts, there were no reported cases of a snow leopard or a prey species being poached or killed within these communities!
But we can't stop there! There were reports of a snow leopard being killed in a nearby village, a place where we are not currently active. We plan to reach out to that village this summer to see if we can partner with them and reduce the conflicts between people and snow leopards.
Education Efforts in Mongolia Gain Momentum
When snow leopards predate on lifestock, herding families must make a difficult choice between protecting their livelyhood and protecting the cats. Last year, we discovered that for the people living within snow leopard habitat, the answer to this difficult question was not clear.
When the snow leopard Shonkor killed more than a dozen domestic sheep and goats, we were concerned. We empathized with the herder, and worried about the safety of Shonkor. Incidents like this have driven other herders in Mongolia to kill snow leopards. But this time, the herder contacted our staff. Our field team immediately went to help.
The herder's first tactics had not worked. He had, in an attempt to keep the cat from killing more of his livestock, parceled out one carcass daily to the cat, hoping it would be too full to kill again. The cat then didn't want to leave! He stayed, right next to the yurt – and it scared the family.
Our staff used knowledge gleaned from our in-depth research to find a better solution. They helped the herder move one of the dead animals to a hillside far from the yurt, and to get rid of the rest. Shonkor was able to feed on the carcass without threatening the family or the rest of the herd. The family then diligently patrolled the corral – flashing lights at night, making noise, and discouraging Shonkor from returning. He didn't. As for the family, we helped them to join the new Mongolian livestock insurance program so they can be compensated for livestock losses like this in the future.
This situation highlighted an important need to educate communities about better ways prevent and respond to snow leopard predation.
The first step was to conduct day-long workshops with participants of the Snow Leopard Enterprises program. Over 330 people met to share how they already address snow leopard visits, and learn what additional information they need and want.
Now, Nadia M., Conservation Education Manager for the Trust and its partner organization SLCF Mongolia, has developed a poster summarizing the best practices from the herders and international experts. We plan on distributing 500 posters to people in more than 25 villages, as well as park rangers and others who need the information.
Hopefully, the end result will be fewer of the types of conflicts that can lead to snow leopard killings.
Unfortunately, Shonkor passed away of natural causes in August of 2011. We are grateful that he was able to teach us so much about snow leopards, and how to live in peace with them.
New Video of Wild Snow Leopards!
In 2011, motion sensing research cameras were placed throughout prime snow leopard habitat regions in India, and the images are in! These cameras offer a one-of-a-kind look into the world of the wild snow leopard, including all of the wildlife that shares it's mountain home.
Snow Leopard Families on Film is a video series that shares some of the most beautiful images taken through this program. We are proud to share our newest video with you, Snow Leopard Families: In the Mountains of India, depicting two adult snow leopards playing together on a mountain peak.
These research cameras are available for adoption! Visit our online store to learn how you can take home the entire set of images from one of these remarkable cameras!
Snow Leopards Catch the Travel Bug
This January, we saw some incredible movements from the snow leopards in our long-term ecological study.
Aztai spent the first half of the month in the southeastern region of his home range, but later circled the entire area three times! Khavar toured his home range throughout the month as well, and was seen making two separate trips to visit our base camp.
Khashaa is still travelling with her cubs, including M9 who is also wearing a GPS collar, and has covered her entire home range and six cluster sites since late December. Anu travelled extensively in January, visiting six different locations and spending a few days at each. Her travels were very close to those of Lasya, although the never actually overlapped at the same time.
In other news from the field, congratulations to our ungulate expert Kullu for completing his field work! 2We're excited to share his results with you soon!

Talk:Simpler Page Navigation Framework for WP7
Hamishwillee - Simpler than what?
Hi Nishant
Thank you for your first Nokia wiki article. This isn't a bad first article, but its covering much the same material and not quite as much detail as Uri Mapping in Windows Phone 7. As a rule its good to search on some keywords to see that you're not duplicating material - if you are then its best to extend the original article rather than create a new one.
What do you think about this/how can we fix it?
More generally, naming is quite important - "simpler framework" is good if you explain what its simpler than, or if there is a clear framework everyone uses and this is new.
Aalso, please see the first tip on Category:Windows_Phone, which explains the articles that would be of most use on the wiki.

This lubricant is formulated to displace moisture, inhibit corrosion, reduce friction and protect metal surfaces. Ideal to cleans, protect and lubricate all electrical and electronic switches, relays, plugs and sockets. Can be used in extreme weather, high humidity and salt spray conditions.
Note that this is a greasy type cleaner and not a wash. I've done a number of tests on various connectors and switches. The cleaning power mentioned in the description isn't that great. (probably blame the enviornmental hippies for removing a key clenser at some point.) It has helped some of my bad connectors, but at the same time, the not-so-bad ones got a little worse. It does seem to leave a lubricating coating behind. This might account for the scratchiness it did on some of my not-so-bad connectors. I discovered the hard way that a lubricating coating on a connector that is very loose isn't such a good idea. Just something to keep in mind.

The New York Dolls are an American hard rock band formed in New York City in 1971. Along with the Velvet Underground and the Stooges, they were one of the first bands in the early punk rock scene. The line-up at this time comprised vocalist David Johansen, guitarist Johnny Thunders, bassist Arthur Kane, guitarist and pianist Sylvain Sylvain, and drummer Jerry Nolan; the latter two had replaced Rick Rivets and Billy Murcia, respectively, in 1972. According to the Encyclopedia of Popular Music (1995), the New York Dolls predated the punk and glam metal movements, and were "one of the most influential rock bands of the last 20 years".

Movie Info
A group of unlikely high school students take up crime as an extracurricular activity in this independent drama. Ben (Parry Shen) is a 16-year-old high school student who is the living embodiment of the stereotypical Asian overachiever. Ben obsessively studies even though he gets straight A's, takes part in a dizzying variety of school activities and community volunteer work, which he thinks will look good on his resume to colleges, and is even a member of the basketball team, even though he … More

LoginCritic Reviews for Better Luck Tomorrow
All Critics (103) | Top Critics (39) | Fresh (83) | Rotten (20) | DVD (14)
Better Luck Tomorrow, a corrosive, insightful study of the pressure-packed lives of suburban high school students, brings a new variant to gangster movies: gangsters with perfect SAT scores.
Better Luck Tomorrow breathes new life into a familiar story: coming of age in high school.
A enerally absorbing look at a slice of society normally taken for granted, both in life and onscreen.
Justin Lin succeeds in shocking audiences with a story that breaks the mold...
Intriguing but dramatically thin.
Incisive [and] cautionary.
Spends more time avoiding Asian-American stereotypes than it does making sense of its characters and plot.
Has an optimistic outlook that uses pessimistic results in a manner fitting for a film of such solid morality.
Um filme do qual Martin Scorsese pode se orgulhar.
You could have replaced everyone in this movie with the cast of some lily-white show like Dawson's Creek and nobody would notice the difference.
Justin Lin's biggest accomplishment is providing a stereotype-shattering insiders' view of the angst and rage of a group of Asian teenagers ...
[I]f the story has some rough edges, well, it's a first film.
Doesn't settle for easy thriller plot twists.
At times Lin's story slides into crime cliches, but whatever he lacks in plotting he makes up for in style and brute emotional force.
. . .its bolder themes and naked ambition heighten the sense of disappointment towards the film's end when it fails to deliver on its initial promise.
The picture's relative uniqueness is what intrigues and compels, marking Better Luck Tomorrow as important, if not ultimately entirely successful.
A powerful and unpredictable film.
Reviewers seem surprised that a young Asian-American filmmaker has been reading Bret Easton Ellis and watching Quentin Tarantino, when in reality the opposite would be startling...
Those looking for the gangster movie seen in the TV spots will be seriously disappointed.
a fairly provocative look at teenage life, featuring the kinds of multidimensional characters that aren't typically included in movies aimed at the high school crowd.
Audience Reviews for Better Luck Tomorrow
This was Justin Lin's first time directing a feature alone, and I must say, "Better Luck Tomorrow" has some of the most genius camerawork and editing techniques that I have seen in a long time. As we follow Ben and his friends as they are nearing the end of high school, they are succumbed to the evil underground dealing and stealing. With just the right amount of characterization, the cast in this film pull off performances that feel more real than anything. Sung Kang plays the role of Han (one of Ben's friends), and it is obvious that Justin Lin planned to bring his character (with a few tweaks mind you) into the "Fas & Furious" franchise. Hard decisions are made by the characters throughout the film and the tone will make you feel sick to your stomach at times, but it will all be worth it. This is probably one of the best independent films of the 2000's for sure. I loved it!
MoreSuper Reviewer
Now this is how you make an independent movie! Completely original, trippy, and clever satire about Asian kids who can get away with anything as long as it looks like they've conformed to society's general stereotypes of their race.
Director Justin Lin has a master's command of the camera and the story he's telling. He also allows his actors to look like true movie stars, even though most of the audience may have never seem them before (except for John Cho). It just sucks that now, eight years after this movie's initial release, Lin has become a corporate tool making godawful Fast and Furious movies. The soul behind Better Luck Tomorrow is the soul of a true auteur.
Super Reviewer
As the first film by director Lin, the title could be used for his next film, as this film shows that he has promise, but is still a bit rough around the edges.
The film takes us inside the Asian community, showing us a group of smart Asian high school kids who know the drill of grades = college = success, but are bored and not challenged by our current sad state of education.
The main charactor is slowly brought into a web of crime, first by getting paid for creating cheat sheets, and then later getting into larcenty and finally, as things escalate and the Asian "gang of four's" reputation grows, into narcotics.
At the center of the film is an Asian cheerleader who is dating Jon Cho (Sulu in the Trek remake). Cho, who disperses drugs and wisdom to the main charactor, for some reason (never fully explained) abhors all the high school melodrama, so coerces the main charactor into taking the cheerleader to a dance. It's obvious that the main charactor and the cheerleader have feelings for each other, and yet, again unexplained, the cheerleader seems somehow bound to Cho.
The plot ramps up and there's an interesting twist (which could have been presented better) and then a final resolution that leaves several plates still spinning (kind of like life).
Throughout the film there are several cinematic camera tricks, which hit the mark about half the time (and are annoying the other half), and overall the performances of the cast are good, though I thought that the cheerleader's portrayal was a bit uneven, perhaps due to the script that had her alternatevely playing hot and cold.
The film also includes a trip to Vegas, which, while I found amusing, I also felt was totally superflous to the plot and felt tacked on (as if "hey, we need another ten minutes of film time"). I also found the Vegas scenes with the four amigos at the gaming tables to be absurd - Only one of the four could possibly pass for 21, so the scene rang very false.
Yet, for the intelligent expose into teen life, and perhaps for a look behind the curtain at those 4.0 GPA Asians, this film was worth watching.
Super Reviewer
Featuring a big influence from Scorsese, nods to Kids and The Basketball Diaries, and a refreshing take on familiarity, Justin Lin's debut Better Luck Tomorrow is an engaging, biting, satirical social commentary that is unforgettable and truly amazing. The style, which features speed changes, a mix of editing techniques, and 5 acts (instead of 3), perfectly captures both the influence of who is behind the film, and the target audience (which happen to be connected one another). The way the film begins to get dark is great, especially because of the brilliantly employed subtlety. Lin showed so much promise with this film that it is disheartenening to see where his career has gone in the past 6-7 years. He needs to go back to movies like this, and quick.

First flight
Here we are somewhere between Alaska and Seattle, most likely over Canada. This was baby girl's first flight, and she spent most of the flight in this posture, watching Curious George on my computer.
She did peek out the window a few times to make sure we were still up in the air, and then she would announce to me that we were "flying in an airplane."
Wish I could sit that comfortably in an airplane seat. There are benefits to being that short.

US Attack Kills 5 Afghan Civilians, Wounds Pregnant Mother
The US military has admitted to killing five Afghan civilians and wounding several others in an attack it initially said targeted militants. The shootings took place in the southeastern Khost province earlier this week. The dead included an infant boy. A nine-month pregnant woman was wounded and lost her baby.
Obama to Request $84.3B for War
President Obama is asking Congress for $83.4 billion in funding for the occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan. The request marks a complete reversal for Obama from two years ago, when he voted against war funding as a senator under former President George W. Bush. The request would bring the budgetary cost of the two occupations to nearly $1 trillion so far. Obama is also asking for $350 million for operations along the US-Mexico border and $400 million in counterinsurgency aid to Pakistan. Although the Democratic-led Congress is expected to approve the funding, some antiwar lawmakers are voicing opposition. Congress member Lynn Woolsey of California said, "Instead of attempting to find military solutions…President Obama must fundamentally change the mission in both countries to focus on promoting reconciliation, economic development, humanitarian aid, and regional diplomatic efforts."
Iraqis Stage Massive Anti-US Protest
On the same day Obama requested millions more for war, tens of thousands of Iraqis rallied against the US occupation at a protest marking the six-year anniversary of the fall of Baghdad. Hazem al-Araji of the Sadr movement said opposition to the occupation unites differing Iraqi factions.
Hazem al-Araji: "Those million people came from Iraq to express just one opinion that is calling for the US troops to withdraw from Iraq. They are Arabs, Kurds, Sunnis and Shia. They came after the call of Sayyid Muqtada al-Sadr
to say 'No! No to America.'"
CIA Head: Overseas Prisons Closed, Contractors Barred from Interrogations
The CIA says it's complied with President Obama's order to cease operating secret prisons overseas. On Thursday, CIA director Leon Panetta said the prisons and black sites are no longer in use and remaining sites will be decommissioned. Obama ordered the prisons' closure in one of his first moves after taking office. Panetta says the CIA hasn't detained anyone since he took over in February but reiterated the Obama administration still maintains the authority to do so. Panetta, meanwhile, also announced the CIA will no longer allow private contractors to interrogate prisoners. And he said the CIA has followed Obama's orders to impose interrogation rules adhering to the Army Field Manual.
Marine Acquitted Despite Confessing to Killing Unarmed Iraqi
A military jury has acquitted a Marine sergeant of murdering an unarmed Iraqi prisoner, even though he confessed to the crime. Sergeant Ryan Weemer was accused of killing the prisoner during the US attack on Fallujah in November 2004. In a recorded interview with interrogators in 2006, Weemer said, "I grabbed a gun and took him to the back of the house. I shot him twice in the chest." Weemer also said he was ordered to carry out the killing and was tormented by his actions. His attorneys argued he was coerced into making the confession.
Court OKs Apartheid Victims' Suit Against US Companies
A US court has cleared the way for victims of the South African apartheid to sue major corporations for supporting human rights abuses. This week, a federal judge in New York said the foreign-based joint action can proceed in a US court. The suit accuses car makers General Motors, Ford and Daimler of knowingly supplying vehicles that were used to violently suppress protests. The suit also names IBM and Fujitsu for selling computer technology to the apartheid government.
Morales Stages Hunger Strike for Electoral Reform
In Bolivia, President Evo Morales has launched a hunger strike to pressure lawmakers to approve a law on electoral reform. The measure would increase representation for low-income rural areas. Morales urged support for the law on Thursday in La Paz.
Bolivian President President Evo Morales: "The people come first. The country comes first. Later come the interests of the regions and sectors. I send a true greeting to those comrades who are defending democracy, the people's vote, the people's vote from outside the country, and other demands of a structural nature through this effort they make, through this hunger strike."
Thousands Protest Georgian President
In Georgia, tens of thousands of people marched the streets of the capital Tbilisi Thursday calling for the resignation of President Mikheil Saakashvili, a key US ally. Critics say Saakashvili has exerted increased authoritarian control and mistakenly led the country into war with Russia last summer.
Protesters Tell Summers "We Want Our Money Back"
Back in the United States, White House economic adviser Larry Summers was greeted with a hostile protest during a speaking appearance on Thursday. Earlier this week, the White House disclosed Summers received nearly $2.7 million in speaking fees last year from several of the financial companies that have received government bailouts. In addition, Summers earned over $5 million working one day a week at the D.E. Shaw hedge fund. As Summers addressed an audience at the Economic Club, two protesters stormed the stage with a sign saying "We want our money back."
Larry Summers: "You know it's hard enough to focus on the policy — focus on the policy choices that we have now without focusing —- without focusing on -—"
Protester #1: "Larry Summers is part of the problem. He's a toxic mess."
Protester #2: "And I'm out of work."
Protester #1: "$135,000 from government bailed-out companies for one day? Your former companies paid you for that? We the people say no!"
Protester #2: "$5.2 million. $5.2 million this man made working one day a week in 2008 working for a hedge fund. We want our money back."
Protester #1: "You're part of the problem. You're part of the problem."
Protester #2: "Can we have our money back? Can we have our money back, please? Can I have some TARP to go with my stimulus?"
Protester #1: "I need a bailout for the peacekeepers. That's right, Larry. You should resign. I am the people's voice, sir. You should resign. Obama deserves a leader."
Palestinian Doctor Nominated for Nobel Peace Prize
A Palestinian doctor who lost three daughters to an Israeli bombing of his home during the attack on Gaza has been nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize. Dr. Ezzeldeen Abu al-Aish's voice was heard around the world after he recounted the killing of his daughters on live Israeli television moments after the attack. A well-known Gazan gynecologist, Aish has been a longtime advocate for peace between Israel and Palestinians.
Failed Nuclear Funding Measure Reinserted into Senate Budget Bill
On Capitol Hill, a controversial provision to fund nuclear power has re-emerged following its removal from the economic stimulus bill earlier this year. The so-called "low-carbon" energy provision would provide $50 billion over five years. Critics say the measure could lead to the construction of a new generation of nuclear power plants. It was quietly accepted as an amendment to the Senate's budget blueprint introduced last week. The same measure was removed from February's economic stimulus bill following public protest.
Terrorism Charges Dropped Against RNC 8
In Minnesota, state prosecutors have dropped terrorism charges against eight activists involved in protests at the Republican National Convention last September. The RNC 8 were believed to be the first people ever charged under the 2002 Minnesota version of the federal PATRIOT Act. On Thursday, Ramsey County Attorney Susan Gaertner said the terrorism charges were removed because they had become a "distraction." But her office had faced widespread criticism following the disclosure the RNC 8 weren't accused of committing the alleged offenses themselves, but were charged for actions carried out by others. The RNC 8 will still face conspiracy charges on rioting and damaging property.
Poll Shows Declining Support for Capitalism
A new poll has found more Americans are looking more favorably on the idea of socialism, while support for capitalism declines. According to Rasmussen Reports, just 53 percent of Americans believe capitalism is the best political-economic system. Twenty percent say they prefer the idea of "socialism." A Rasmussen poll in December found 70 percent support the idea of a free market economy. The differing results could indicate many Americans don't associate the state-reliant US financial system with one adhering to "free markets."
CDC: US Food Safety Efforts Fail to Improve
A new report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says efforts to improve food safety have stalled in the United States. On Thursday, the CDC called for speedier reforms to the nation's food safety system to prevent a growing number of food-related illnesses.
Massive Cutbacks Proposed at Detroit Schools
And in Michigan, state officials have proposed massive cuts at the city of Detroit's public schools. The plan would close twenty-three schools and lay off more than 600 teachers. Detroit is under a district-wide financial emergency with a projected $303 million deficit.

Sergio Santos RP LAD 7 Months
Blue Jays designated RHP Sergio Santos for assignment.
Santos had posted a dreadful 7.78 ERA and 2.09 WHIP in 19 2/3 innings this season out of the Blue Jays' bullpen. But the 31-year-old right-hander registered a 1.75 ERA and 0.58 WHIP in 25 2/3 frames last season and could draw interest from teams on the waiver wire.
Sergio Santos RP LAD 9 Months
Blue Jays activated RHP Sergio Santos from the 15-day disabled list.
No corresponding move has been announced yet, but it's possible that Brett Cecil will be heading to the disabled list. Santos should quickly work his way back into a setup role in front of closer Casey Janssen.
Sergio Santos RP LAD 9 Months
Sergio Santos (forearm) is scheduled to throw one final bullpen session on Sunday, and if all goes well he'll head to Florida for a minor league rehab assignment.
As long as he continues to progress, Santos should be able to rejoin the Blue Jays bullpen in mid-June. With the current state of the bullpen, as long as he pitches well in his return, he could quickly regain his role as the primary setup man in front of closer Casey Janssen.
Sergio Santos RP LAD 9 Months
Sergio Santos (forearm) felt great after throwing a 25-pitch bullpen session on Thursday morning.
Santos will throw another side session on Saturday and could then be cleared for a rehab assignment. He is on track to return to the Blue Jays' bullpen in mid-June. The right-hander has been out since May 11.
Sergio Santos RP LAD 9 Months
Sergio Santos (forearm) hopes to throw two bullpen sessions this week.
Santos is hoping to throw on Friday and possibly again on Sunday before resuming his rehab assignment. The reliever had a setback with his forearm soreness last week but is evidently feeling better. He should return relatively soon as long as he can avoid further setbacks.
Sergio Santos RP LAD 9 Months
Sergio Santos (forearm) recently suffered a setback in his recovery.
Santos had been progressing in his recovery from forearm soreness before he felt something in the forearm while throwing long toss from approximately 120 feet. "I wouldn't call it a big, big setback," Santos said. "When I got out to 110, stepping on it a little bit, didn't hurt, wasn't painful, just backing off for a day, resting and then throwing again. Good enough distance, playing catch, throwing. It felt fine, the ball was coming out good." He'll be shut down for a period of time before beginning to ramp up his throwing again. The setback probably costs Santos another few weeks at least, making late June look like the earliest he might be back.
Sergio Santos RP LAD 9 Months
Sergio Santos (forearm) has thrown for the past three days.
Santos, out since earlier this month with forearm soreness, plans to throw again Monday from a distance of 80 feet. No word when he'll get back on the mound and he'll likely need multiple rehab appearances before coming back from the DL.
Sergio Santos RP LAD 10 Months
Sergio Santos (elbow) will resume throwing on Friday.
He'll need at least a couple bullpen sessions before going out on a rehab assignment. Santos seems likely to return in early June. "It won't be long," Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said. "He's going to start throwing the ball around when we get home. See where he's at. He said he's feeling good, I know that."
Sergio Santos RP LAD 10 Months
An MRI on Sergio Santos' right elbow revealed no structural damage.
The exam showed "normal wear and tear." Santos, who was placed on the disabled list last weekend, will be shut down for a week before resuming throwing on flat ground. "I do feel good," he said. "The soreness is now gone. It's been five-six days and with each day I'm feeling a lot better."
Sergio Santos RP LAD 10 Months
Blue Jays placed RHP Sergio Santos on the 15-day disabled list due to right forearm soreness.
With as bad as Santos has been this season, it's not a surprise that there was some type of injury situation going on here. He owns a 9.00 ERA, 2.00 WHIP and 20/11 K/BB ratio through his first 12 frames on the season.
