"I think college students are going to come to terms with the unfairness of student loans, the hallowing out of jobs from finance based capitalism, and the depletion of public wealth," says singer Stephen Jenkins. "When you take money out of politics, which is what Occupy Wall Street is about for me, you reverse these trends. This song is meant to encourage their participation. I hope we flood this movement with music."

Libyans recover looted Roman antiquities

TRIPOLI, Libya (AP) ? Libyan authorities have unveiled 17 ancient Roman figurines, which they say revolutionary forces seized from Moammar Gadhafi's soldiers during the battle for the capital Tripoli.

Director of the state antiquities department Saleh Algabe showed the recovered objects to reporters on Saturday, hailing the find as an important recovery of national treasures.

The pieces include a female figurine and several small human busts in marble, as well as two pottery fragments. Albage said they date back to the second and third centuries A.D.

He says the pieces were seized from a truck on the road to Tripoli's airport on August 20, as revolutionary forces were entering the capital. He says it appeared Gadhafi's forces wanted to smuggle them out of the country and sell them.
