So, what’s the story on the necklaces a lot of the Asian ballplayers are wearing during the 2009 WBC? They’re Phiten liquid titanium chokers. It’s the new steroid… or not.

Two Asian American correspondents for Current TV were seized earlier this week by North Korean soldiers near that country’s border with China, South Korean news reported today.
The journalists — Laura Ling and Euna Lee, reporters for the California-based online media outlet Current TV — were taken into North Korean custody on Tuesday, a missionary who spoke to them earlier that day told The Associated Press. (Some news reports identified Lee as Euna Kim: IFEX.org.)
