...inclined to wrinkle your nose at the mention of seaweed. Pungent and slimy, it's usually something to avoid at the beach, not your first choice for something to drink, eat or wear. But that unflattering - and undeserved - image is now changing. As a natural resource with unique, health-boosting properties, seaweed is showing up in an increasing variety of products as companies find new ways to market the renewable marine resource. At its ultramodern factory in Brest, France, the laboratory company Science et Mer recently launched its own line of seaweed-based skin creams based on purported anti-aging...
...only the locals were as impressed. "Someone knocked his nose off just recently," says an assistant in the gift shop. In fact, the statue has been repeatedly vandalized. Many Scots cringe at the tribute to Gibson's movie, but the number of visitors to the monument almost doubled the year after the film was released, and the Scottish National Party (SNP) smelled a political opportunity: it handed out leaflets featuring Gibson's image to exiting moviegoers, hoping to fuel its campaign for Scotland to secede from the United Kingdom...

"I was ashamed to go abroad and have to explain to people how someone like Le Pen could get that far - meanwhile, the urgency to deny Le Pen meant France got a default president in Chirac," says Sanchez. "Thank goodness this time it's different...
...Hang in there, Iron Mike! The April 28 concert on the steps of Memorial Church well complements our domestic salad days: what better slogan of peace and prosperity than the words, “The sky was gold, it was rose / I was taking sips of it through my nose?” It’s a message we can all enjoy. Yardfest’s opening act, the Upwelling, has drawn comparisons to Pink Floyd, the Police and Leonard Cohen. Commendable influences to be sure, but one wonders if the College Events Board mightn’t have...
