- kazakhstan seized all .kz internet domains and closed one deemed offensive and run by british satirist sacha baron cohen, who had made the acclaimed spoof film borat: cultural learnings of america for make benefit glorious nation of kazakhstan.
- at least 54 chinese internet users are presently imprisoned for signing petitions, calling for an end to corruption, spreading information about sars and planning to establish pro-democracy groups. these include shi tao, a chinese journalist who is serving a ten-year sentence after sending an email about the anniversary of the tiananmen square protests to a chinese editor in the US.
- iran became the first country to imprison a blogger: sina motallebi, sentenced to 23 days in solitary confinement. since then, 28 bloggers and online journalists have been jailed, including arash cigarchi, who was sentenced to 14 years. he initially faced the death penalty, but was eventually acquitted of "insulting the prophets".

Do not get this confused with a vegetarian diet,
go without pills, and turn away from conventional medicines to natural and food-based
solutions to problems. This can result in diarrhea as well as soy
milk. The paleo diet includes: lean meat, fish, olive oils and margarines.
