News: IOC orders blog take down video of death; refused by CA law
Canada law is protecting a blogger displaying the video of Georgian luger Nodar Kumaritashvili against an IOC takedown order. Pretty cool stuff. The IOC asserts that it owns ALL rights to all images taken at the game. But Canadian law allows copyrighted images to be used in newsworthy cases. Will be interested to see how this one turns out.

Not the tactics....just the reasoning behind it. The tax code is discriminatory. Very.

Sports: China couple win skating Olympic Gold, Russian shut out!
Big story about this skating couple. Picked as youth to be China's big skating duo. They were great, but never won gold (mainly because Russia has won every skating pairs Gold medal since 1960). They retired, but unretired to take one last shot at 'their dream'. They got it, and in the process shut Russia out of not only the Gold, but off the podium entirely. China takes top TWO spot and German the Bronze.
