...that Food Inc. is back in the spotlight with an Oscar nomination, have you had to deal with more complaints from companies that you call out in the film? In a funny way, the complaints came before we were released theatrically. After great theatrical success, we went on Oprah and became the No. 1 DVD on Amazon in the country. All of a sudden I think these companies - so many of them who wouldn't talk to us - had to start to take this issue seriously to understand their consumers are concerned...
Surkov, officially Medvedev's deputy chief of staff, said that Prime Minister Vladimir Putin had approved the idea of a Russian Silicon Valley after Medvedev came up with it. Surkov said he himself had been assigned to oversee its creation, most likely on the outskirts of Moscow. It is an unusual role for him.

It would allow Russian speakers to be the first to register Web addresses in their native Cyrillic script rather than in Latin letters like everybody else. Andrei Kolesnikov, the official in charge of implementing the idea and registering Cyrillic domain names, says using the Russian language online is the nation's "birthright."

...Winter Olympics history. The heavily hyped faces, like snowboarder Shaun White, downhill skier Lindsey Vonn, long-track speed skater Shani Davis, men's figure skater Evan Lysacek, all delivered golds. Apolo Ohno now has eight medals, more than any other U.S. Winter Olympian. Bode Miller, the Torino pariah who came out of retirement to give the Olympics one more go, showed that when expectations are lifted, and extracurricular drinking stilted, a supremely gifted skier can pick up a gold, silver and bronze.
