>Athletes off meat rations
運動隊'斷肉'引奧運擔憂
Chinese athletes are in an awkward situation with the Olympics due to begin in just 100 days. They dare not eat meat. 196 athletes under the administration of the National Aquatics Center have been stopped from eating meat for 40 days, according to officials, Yangtse Evening News reported Wednesday. The athletes are relying on protein powder and hairtail fish for their protein supply.
距離奧運僅剩100天,中國運動員卻集體陷入了不敢吃肉的尷尬境地。據《揚子晚報》18日報道,相關負責人日前透露,水上運動中心在各地的196名運動員已經"斷肉"40天,只能靠蛋白粉和帶魚補充蛋白質。

源于對瘦肉精的擔憂,體育總局曾于1月19日發布"禁肉令"。一是禁止運動員在外食用豬牛羊肉,二是各訓練基地在未確保肉食來源可靠的情況下,暫停食肉。

>Indonesia bans ore shipments
印尼將禁出口金屬礦石
Indonesia, Southeast Asia's largest economy, will proceed with a plan to ban exports of unprocessed metal ores(鐵礦石), including bauxite(鋁土礦), from next month, while confirming an exemption for producers that intend to treat output locally, Bloomberg reported. The largest nickel-ore (鎳礦石) and bauxite supplier to China announced the prohibition in February, 2 years ahead of schedule, to increase the value of its shipments. The Indonesian Mining Association estimated last month that the ban will cut nickel-ore and bauxite exports by as much as 75% this year.
據彭博社報道,東南亞最大經濟體——印度尼西亞計劃自5月起禁止出口鋁土礦等未經加工的金屬礦石,而對在本地處理礦石的生產商則給予免稅優待。為了提高貨運價值,作為中國最大的鎳礦石與鋁土礦供應國,印尼于今年2月份便宣布了這一禁令,較原定計劃提前了兩年。印尼礦業協會上月估計,出口禁令將導致今年鎳礦石與鋁土礦出口量銳減75%。

>Taliban claims own reward
塔利班為索要賞金'自首'
A Taliban commander has been captured after marching up to a checkpoint in Afghan brandishing a wanted poster with his own face and demanding the $100 reward for his own arrest, The Daily Telegraph of London reported Wednesday. Mohammad Ashan was wanted for organizing attacks on Afghan troops. Afghan Police called for American backup to check they had the right man. "Is this you?" a US soldier asked. Mohammad Ashan answered with an incredible amount of enthusiasm, "Yes, yes, that's me! Can I get my reward now?" US forces confirmed his identity using a biometric scan.

>Obama fundraises with dog
奧巴馬借狗狗籌款遭批
Bo, the US' "First Pup", is being used to raise money for the reelection campaign of his owner, President Obama, The Washington Examiner reported. Bo is featured on the campaign website because it is the 3rd anniversary of his adoption. "Throw Bo A Bone on His Anniversary," says the campaign website. Of course, that "bone" would be a campaign contribution, starting at $10. Cute for sure, but not everybody's wagging their tail over what is the first use of a presidential pet to raise campaign cash. "That's like raffling the dog or auctioning the pet. It's not presidential to do that," says Claire McLean of the Presidential Pet Museum.(See photo)
據《華盛頓觀察者報》報道,美國總統奧巴馬競選網站日前利用"第一狗狗"波被收養3周年做文章,呼吁人們"在波的收養周年紀念日給它丟根骨頭",當然,這個"骨頭"指的是為奧巴馬競選連任捐款,最少10美元。此舉誠然討喜,但并非所有人都認可這種利用寵物來籌集競選資金的創意。總統寵物博物館的克萊爾·麥克利恩稱,"這就像抽獎出售或者拍賣寵物,不是總統該有的行為"。(見圖)

He was the only one of 3 eggs laid by his mother to survive and hatch, but was promptly rejected by his parents.(See photo)
