ARTICLE: Artist & Poet, Liao Yiwu, Detained by Chinese Government
FIRST 3 PARAGRAPHS:
BEIJING — Chinese security agents in Sichuan Province detained Liao Yiwu, a prominent author and critic of the government, as he prepared to fly on Monday to a literary festival in Germany, human rights activists said.
It was the 13th time Mr. Liao had been prevented from leaving the country. The Associated Press reported that he had been placed under house arrest after being questioned by security agents for four hours.
“How can this happen?” the news service quoted him as saying. “It’s a cultural event, nothing political. Such drama!”

MoveOn, Heather Graham, & the Public Option
I’m dubious. I would think a bloody torso surrounded by severed appendages is a far more appropriate metaphor than the buxom Heather Graham. Let’s hope I’m wrong.

ARTICLE: Olympic Medals Made With Recycled E-Waste
FIRST 3 SENTENCES:
“When Olympic champions are crowned at this year’s winter games in Vancouver, these elite athletes will be taking home more than just gold, silver or bronze medals—they will be playing a role in Canada’s efforts to reduce electronic waste. That’s because each medal was made with a tiny bit of the more than 140,000 tons of e-waste that otherwise would have been sent to Canadian landfills.
The more than 1,000 medals to be awarded at the Vancouver 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games, which kick off today, amount to 2.05 kilograms of gold, 1,950 kilograms of silver (Olympic gold medals are about 92.5 per cent silver, plated with six grams of gold) and 903 kilograms of copper.”
