Woods started off slowly in the year's first major, the Masters, and although he moved back into contention, he didn't win. Overrated hack. Even his name -- come on, Tiger Woods?!? -- was straight out of a fairy tale. Speaking of fairy tales, the No Fun League was overwhelmed by the St. Louis Rams, maybe pro football's most surprising champions ever. The Rams completed their journey from outhouse to penthouse with a Super Bowl victory over the Tennessee Titans that came down to the last play. The Rams' triumph notwithstanding, it was mostly a year for traditional powers. The Lakers won the NBA title. The Yankees won the World Series. Florida State rang in the new year by winning the national college football title -- and ended it preparing to win another one.

Detractors criticise its position. Simon Jenkins, former Editor of The Times and a Millennium Commissioner, wanted it in Battersea. “It should have been somewhere where it does not tower crudely over historic buildings, and where it can draw people away from the crowded central zone
A huge explosion has torn through a school in east China killing up to 60 people, including many children as young as eight, who were forced to make fireworks.
The blast flattened the two-storey school building in the village of Fanglin in Jiangxi province where an illegal fireworks factory had been set up three years ago.

Piano painting
The stars, the fashions, the scaffolding … all managed to stay up (including the audience) and look wonderful during the 73rd Annual Academy Awards.
Miracle upon miracles, not only did the evening run smoothly, but for the first time in years, it actually ran UNDER — ending at the three-hour, 29-minute mark — including credits. This is an extraordinary feat, being that recent Oscar shows have run close to four hours, and frequently over.Perhaps it was the 45-second acceptance speech rule that held the broadcast to the clock, perhaps not, as many winners chose to forgo the prize of a high-definition TV for the opportunity to spend more time on stage.

The disease that has ravaged Britain's livestock for months may have struck its first blow against the human population.
Britain's Department of Health says it is "urgently investigating" the case of a slaughterhouse worker who officials say is showing "all the symptoms" of foot-and-mouth disease, the British Broadcasting Corp. reported.The man, who works in Cumbria, northwest England, was said to be experiencing symptoms just like the animals infected by the disease — blisters on the hands and feet and inside the mouth.However, it will take at least 48 hours to confirm if he indeed has the disease, health authorities said. If it is foot-and-mouth, it would be the second human case ever diagnosed as such in Britain. The previous confirmed human case in Britain was in 1966.

Tobacco companies "use primarily scenes that have been used for 50 years here to market overseas," says Nancy Kaufman, vice president of The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and co-author of a WHO report on the global marketing of tobacco to women. Kaufman says many of the regions tobacco companies target include Asia, Africa, India and former Soviet bloc nations — areas in which the rates of smoking among women are far lower than for men. Besides advertising, many companies also give out free cigarette samples and sponsor cultural and athletic events in countries where tobacco advertising is restricted or severely limited, she says. Marketing in China"By marketing to women, by getting women addicted to tobacco, you sort of help reinforce tobacco use as a normal activity," says Ross Hammond,

Astronomers form their predictions by mapping Earth's orbit with that of dust trails left behind by the comet Tempel-Tuttle. As the comet, which is made up of dirt and ice, passes near the sun every 33 years, it heats up and releases a dust trail. The last time comet Tempel-Tuttle shed a dust trail was in 1998.Tracking Dust Trails in SpaceWhen Earth passes close to the comet's orbit, it smacks into the comet's old dust trails. The collisions cause shooting stars as the clumps strike Earth's upper atmosphere and vaporize, creating streaks of light in the sky.The most spectacular Leonid meteor storm in recent times was in 1966 when as many as 2,500 meteors streaked across the skies above Earth every minute.Astronomers' various predictions reflect their different mappings of the comet's
