Chavez said the Hispanic man was detained Aug. 4 while crossing into Venezuela from Colombia.

The man’s identity was not released. Chavez did not say where he was being interrogated. An official from the U.S. Embassy in Caracas did not answer repeated telephone calls seeking comment on Chavez’s announcement. “He has all the appearance of a mercenary,” Chavez said, speaking during a campaign rally in the coastal state of Vargas. “We are interrogating him.” The man tore up part of the notebook in his possession when he was detained, Chavez said.

(CBS) Here’s something to remember when you challenge Matt Damon: He’s no dum-dum. He’s probably smarter than you are. Damon was in Washington, D.C., Saturday to give a speech at the Save Our Schools March. (Damon’s mother, who introduced him at the event, is a teacher.) Pictures: Matt Damon A reporter and 배터리바둑이 a cameraman for Reason.tv suggested to him that job insecurity should motivate actors – and by apples-to-oranges comparison, teachers – to be better at what they do. Damon’s face reveals he’s not buying the reporter’s questions as she asks it. “In acting, there isn’t job security, right?” says the reporter. “There’s incentive to work hard and be a better actor because you want to have a job, so why isn’t it like that for teachers?” “You think job insecurity is what makes me work hard?” asks Damon. “Well, you have an incentive to work harder, but if there’s job security…” says the reporter. Damon cuts her off. “I want to be an actor; it’s not an incentive. That’s the thing. See, you take this MBA-style thinking, right? It’s the problem with [education] policy right now. It’s this intrinsically paternalistic view of problems that are much more complex than that. It’s like saying a teacher is going to get lazy when they have tenure. A teacher wants to teach. I mean, why else would you take a...
