's conservatives and the center-left Social Democrats would be better than the current coalition Merkel formed in October with the Free Democrats.
 Merkel has been under pressure for months. Within Germany  critics noted that her new coalition so far has little to show for its efforts in the seven months since it took control  other than the unpopular Greek and euro rescue packages. On the international stage  Merkel has been criticized for dragging her feet on helping Greece.
 The chancellor has already scrapped plans for promised tax cuts  but still faces a huge federal budget deficit. Her government is to decide on spending cuts and  possibly  even on tax hikes within the next 10 days.
 Only 34 percent said Merkel's government has made the right decisions to counter the crisis.
 The one member of Merkel's Cabinet who enjoys steady support is Defense Minister Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg  with 61 percent of those surveyed applauding his work.

Q: Stop Hating On Ed Sheeran's Fundraising Ad  Say Critics
Radi-Aid  a nonprofit group in Norway  was running its annual contest  asking folks to vote for the nominees. And the winner (or loser) for worst charity ad was a 5-minute spot for Comic Relief  in which pop star Ed Sheeran visits orphans in a slum in Liberia  talks to one homeless boy and asks viewers to help the children.
Maybe it's not such a bad idea to show a rich guy giving money to a kid on the streets  argues Tariro Mzezewa in an op-ed this week in The New York Times: "Ed Sheeran Raises Money For Liberia â And Is Promptly Shamed." Mzezewa  a staff editor for The Times' opinion section  writes: "The reaction to this video is not only overblown but also harmful to the people who need help and those who may want to offer it."
Others agree with Mzezewa  including Beyan Flomo Pewee  the Liberian founder and executive director of YOCEL  a nonprofit youth organization in Monsterrado  Liberia. "I personally think that the video was not really bad given  he  was raising funds and Liberia benefited "  he  wrote in an email to NPR. "Especially the closing part of the video where  he  demonstrated commitment to help the boys."
"Poor Ed Sheeran  he only wanted to help."

Q: Stephen Gayle died Thursday night after Temple police officers who responded to a disturbance call tried to put him in handcuffs. A Temple Police Department spokeswoman said Friday that the Texas Department of Public Safety will investigate the death and that there's no indication the officers "acted outside the scope of their duties."
Temple officers responded to a disturbance complaint around 7:30 p.m. Thursday near an apartment complex. They encountered  Gayle   believing he was responsible for the disturbance  and said he was uncooperative and appeared intoxicated  according to a police release. During a struggle  the officers tried to handcuff  Gayle  and put  him  inside a police car  police said.
The Temple Daily Telegram reports that  Gayle 's family and people who witnessed the incident are questioning the account police have given. Witnesses who spoke to the newspaper said the officers  who were white  used excessive force to arrest  Gayle   who was black.
Wanda Nichols  a church pastor who lives in the neighborhood  said she saw  Gayle  walking down the street and yelling before police arrived. She said she thought  he  was trying to get the attention of a child who was practicing football nearby.
