http://truth-out.org/news/item/28843-with-progressive-syriza-s-victory-is-a-european-spring-coming
Lorenzo Del Savio and Matteo Mameli, Truthout: In the wake of the victory of progressive party Syriza in the January Greek general election, some talk about a coming European Spring - a democratic uprising against the political status quo that has imposed brutal austerity policies in Europe.

http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/28862-is-hillary-clinton-in-the-bottom-3-percent-turning-the-corner-on-ceo-pay
Dean Baker, Truthout: One of the provisions of the Dodd-Frank financial reform bill required that CEO pay packages be submitted to a non-binding "Say on Pay" vote of shareholders on a regular basis.

The Daily Take Team, The Thom Hartmann Program: Seattle's decision to throw the ball at the goal line with 20 seconds to go in last night's Super Bowl was a costly one. But in the long run, it won't be nearly as costly to the rest of the United States as the National Football League itself.
