Extra! Extra! Suicides, toilets and banks

• A Fudan University student jumped to her death from a campus building earlier this week. She was the second Fudan student to commit suicide in a month. Both were female postgraduates.
• Only 24 kuai for an online nude performance -- but, sadly, the service, based in Changning District, got busted.
• Will we be forced to pack up our dogs and leave China like these Beijing residents? We sure hope not. But the fact that the thought has crossed our mind is scary. Angry Chinese Blogger weighs in.
• Why did China finally unblock Wikipedia? And use of the Chinese version of Wikipedia is "skyrocketing." UPDATE: Wikipedia is blocked again.
• WANTED: New staff members at South China Morning Post. REQUIREMENTS: No sense of humor.
• Heard of Chinabounder? Meet Chinabounderess. Not quite as prolific.
• China Daily reports the "Western media have neglected the positive impact China has on the environment outside the country," so says a study by a "high-profile think tank." Name of the think tank? China Council for International Co-operation on Environment and Development.
• How can you tell if the rice you just bought is 17 years old? That would be good to know right now.
• Gotta go? Just hold it for four more years -- there will be thousands of new toilets to use in Shanghai in 2010.
• Another type of fraud in China: Age fraud. Chinese basketball is cracking down on it.
• Foreign banks will soon be able to offer a full range of services to customers in China. The new rules, part of China's WTO promises, are being called "landmark."
• "Quality of the Chinese population" at risk. Pre-marital health screening may once again become mandatory (or free).
