********ELSEWHERE********



*FRANCE*

France bans citizen journalists from reporting violence (March 6):
http://www.macworld.com/news/2007/03/06/franceban/index.php

"The French Constitutional Council has approved a law that criminalizes the filming or broadcasting of acts of violence by people other than professional journalists. The law could lead to the imprisonment of eyewitnesses who film acts of police violence, or operators of Web sites publishing the images, one French civil liberties group warned on Tuesday..."

******HEALTH, SCIENCE and LIVING******




*CASSINI HOAX*

"Saturn's Hyperion: a moon with odd craters":
http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap070128.html

(APOD's illustration at the link above is so utterly ludicrous it makes me cry with laughter. doesn't NASA have any quality control regading the fake images it produces of the "Cassini probe of Saturn"?)




*ASTRONOMY*

SN 2006GY: brightest supernova:

"The largest study of its kind has unexpectedly concluded that smoking marijuana, even regularly and heavily, does not lead to lung cancer..."


(folks, let's all cure cancer by smoking some pot now.)




********MISC********




*TENNIS*

Rome Masters: Nadal keeps on winning on clay; his surface streak is possibly the longest in the Open Era.
http://www.atptennis.com/1/en/news/news2.asp

Federer loses to Italian qualifier Volandri in Rome:
http://www.rogerfederer.com/en/rogers/news/newsdetail.cfm?uNewsID=549

(Federer is having a tough year so far on slow surfaces. i saw highlights of his loss against Volandri. Fed has clearly lost confidence in his forehand, and his footwork is not the best in the world on the dirt. unless his form improves, it is very hard to imagine Federer winning the French Open.)




*MUSIC VIDEO*

Beatles, 1964, TV, Paris France, 'I'm a Loser':
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KynpC1e9I9E

(listen to the crowd. you would think that pure happiness was being experienced by everyone listening.)
