| Thai PM outlines plans in his first weekly talk show
BANGKOK, Feb. 10 (Xinhua) -- Thailand's newly elected Prime Minister Samak Sundaravej said Sunday in his first weekly talk show through state TV and radio that he believed he can govern the state to a good future. The talk show, named "Samak Talk", was the first of its kind since his six-party coalition government took office Thursday. Samak disclosed in the program that the Cabinet at its weekly meeting next Tuesday will discuss two important issues, namely the foreign capital reserve requirement policy and the draft government policy. After the 2006 coup, the Bank of Thailand issued a 30 percent foreign capital reserve requirement policy, which has caused a lot of controversies, especially among foreign investors who thought it an obstacle while investing in Thailand.
Disowned by the Ownership Society
Most people just aren't saavy enough, cannot deal in large numbers, don't understand puts/selling-short, have much less insider/sector knowledge, etc. to really make good on the market. Given the various busts, it seems that the publicly-traded aspect is a mixed bag indeed. As for purchasing a home, the middle-class doesn't "purchase" a home. Rather, it enters into career-long servitude to mortgage lenders — the ownership society. .
Much ado about next to nothing
She thought the skin of her face was ever less taut, more wrinkled. She remembered not looking old, not being old, not feeling so cold. She remembered a child's laughter. She started when the pounding returned. She smiled at him. She put her hand to the window as if to reach him, to touch his head. She turned to the assistant and walked with him back through the metal doors to the nurses station. The assistant retrieved her bags and handed them to her. These are for you, she said. Merry Christmas, and thank you for your care. She picked into the bag, handing the nurse and the assistant small, wrapped gifts. She handed the nurse the bag. The other gifts are marked for patients and staff. Please see to them? The two bigger packages are for him. She nodded toward the banging. Boxing gloves.

Many obstacles face Cards at USF
TAMPA — The defense, already thin, lost two of its best and most experienced players this week. The offense has become predictable and one-dimensional. One of the nation's top defensive players awaits. The opponent is high-quality and the site has been particularly unfriendly. Other than that, everything looks great for the University of Louisville football team (5-6, 2-3) as it takes on South Florida (7-3, 2-3) Saturday night in its bid to pull an upset and enhance its prospects for a 10th straight bowl berth. Kickoff is at 8 p.m. (ESPNU) in Raymond James Stadium, home of the Tampa Bay Bucs of the NFL. UofL is coming off its best all-around performance of the season, rallying from a 31-14 deficit to tie the score, then losing at West Virginia 38-31 on Nov. 9. But since then, the Cards — who traveled with only 25 healthy defensive players — have lost two more starters.

Stop Chasing High-Tech Cheaters
Opening up The New York Times last week, I stumbled across an article that outraged me. "Colleges Chase as Cheats Shift to Higher Tech" detailed the struggle of some academics against new, high-tech forms of "cheating" that are based in Internet use, iPods, cellphones, and PocketPCs. The tone of the article was one of dismay at the collapse of morality in education. As I watched the article climb the "most e-mailed list" on the Times Web site through the day, my outrage increased. .
