    An abandoned cargo ship lays half sunken in the Paraguay River near Asuncion, Paraguay, Friday, Jan. 11, 2013. The Paraguay River's water level is at an all time low this summer, which makes it difficult for larger ships to cross through its channels and reach the capital city. According to the Customs Office, imports declined 18 percent between 2011 and 2012 due to low water levels. (AP Photo/Jorge Saenz)

    People enter a legal coca leaf market, some carrying bags of coca leaves, under a stained glass window decorated with an image of a coca leaf in La Paz, Bolivia, Friday, Jan. 11, 2013. President Evo Morales' global crusade to decriminalize the coca leaf, launched in 2006 after the coca growers' union leader was first elected president of Bolivia, has finally attained a partial, if largely, symbolic victory. A year ago, Bolivia temporarily withdrew from the 1961 U.N. convention on narcotic drugs because it classifies coca leaf, the raw material of cocaine, as an illicit drug. It has now rejoined, with one important caveat: The centuries-old Andean practice of chewing or otherwise ingesting coca leaves, a mild stimulant in its natural form, will now be universally recognized as legal within Bolivia.
