New Gig: Why a TV pro moved from Channel 7 to Al-Jazeera
By Michael Roberts, Denver Westword
Last May, Gabriel Elizondo made what seemed, to his co-workers at Denver's Channel 7 news, to be an unusual career move. Elizondo decided to leave his job as an assignment editor at the local ABC affiliate to become a programming producer for Al-Jazeera International, an English-language spin-off of the embattled Arabic network. After careful consideration, he took the position because he saw Al-Jazeera, as he says, 'doing good, courageous journalism in the Arab world,' showing the realistic 'ugly side of war.' -- Archie Ingersoll

Cows Make Fuel for Biogas Train
By Tim Franks, BBC Newsnight
Swedish innovation is taking the virtue of using all of the animal to new heights. Or distances rather. The world's first biogas-fueled passenger train relies on methane captured from stewing cow organs, guts, and fat. One cow sends riders down about 2.5 miles of track. The train is just one example of a fleet of biogas vehicles greening transportation in the Scandinavian country. -- Hannah Lobel
