...college very briefly—Santa Monica College of Los Angeles. It’s beautiful, but we pretty much got signed to a record deal right out of high school, so I didn’t put in any real time going to college. And to be perfectly honest, at the time, I wasn’t really interested. I was playing in the band, we were on the verge of getting a record deal, and I was working for a record label.

The four departments, or states, of Tarija, Beni, Pando and Santa Cruz held non-legally sanctioned referendums earlier this year, approving their own autonomy statutes.

We's message is getting lost in the noise of recession and high energy prices...
From the University of California at Santa Cruz to Virginia Tech, cafeteria trays are disappearing, enabling universities and food-service companies to reduce food waste, lower energy costs and make college campuses more environmentally sustainable. The reasoning goes like this: when students are allowed to use trays, they tend to roam around the cafeteria grabbing food with abandon until space on the tray runs out. If you remove their trays, you make it impossible for them to carry a surplus of dishes, and they will make their selections more carefully and be satisfied with less food overall. That saves...
