In this photo taken Tuesday, Nov. 15, 2011, a baby sleeps on a hammock at an inundated house at Chakto Lork village, Kampong Thom province, about 120 kilometers (75 miles) north of Phnom Penh, Cambodia. About 1.8 million people across Cambodia and Vietnam are currently suffering a silent misery from the worst flooding in a decade. Thailand's flood crisis has received extensive media coverage, especially as the waters inch toward central Bangkok, but less attention has been paid to its much poorer neighbors, where many rural families still waiting for water levels to drop have received little or no aid from their governments or international organizations.

Protesters confront police in vehicle that sprays water during a protest demanding education reform in Santiago, Chile, Friday Nov 18, 2011.  Students have been demanding education reform for at least six months.  At the heart of the standoff are dueling visions of Chilean education that emerged during the 1973-1990 dictatorship of Gen. Augusto Pinochet. The country's schools had previously been free to all students, but the regime pushed a free market-based approach and cleared the way for more private universities, as well as an eventual voucher system that directs billions of dollars in public funds to privately run high schools.
