| Thai protesters make up for lack of Bangkok pre-election buzz | |  By Pairat Temphairojana BANGKOK (Reuters) - Thailand goes to the polls on Sunday, but the usual pre-election buzz, banners and loud-hailers on the backs of trucks are noticeable by their absence in the capital, Bangkok. Anti-government protesters have blocked major intersections and flyovers for weeks, setting up camps in neat rows of tents. At a polling station at a school in the Don Muang district in north Bangkok, the only evidence is a signboard listing the candidates, propped up against the wall under a staircase. But that call has been lost on the protesters who want their own reform of the political landscape, setting up a "people's council" to run the country after bringing down Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra.

| U.S. government names Navy man to head beleaguered NSA | |  By David Alexander and Mark Hosenball WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Barack Obama nominated on Thursday the U.S. Navy's top cyber warrior to head the National Security Agency, a move seen as a vote of confidence in a unit that is under fire for spying on Americans and their allies. Navy Vice Admiral Michael Rogers, a cryptologist and head of U.S. Fleet Cyber Command, is not expected to immediately make major changes to the NSA, shaken by revelations by former contractor Edward Snowden. "This is a critical time for the NSA, and Vice Admiral Rogers would bring extraordinary and unique qualifications to this position as the agency continues its vital mission and implements President Obama's reforms," Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said in a statement.
