Ralph Waldo Emerson. "Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be cumbered with your old nonsense."

Turkey Passes Strict Net Law. By an overwhelming majority, Turkey's parliament passes a restrictive Internet law that is sending shudders through the fledgling sector. Jonathan Evans reports from Ankara. [Wired News]
"The law also places a burden on ISPs, requiring government permission before new sites can go online and the submission of two hard copies of pages to be posted on the Net for prior approval. "
I guess Turkey was feeling left out from the rest of the medieval-oriented Muslim countries in the region.

Device helps guide prostate cancer therapy. For many men with prostate cancer, there is no clear guidance about how to best treat the disease while minimizing side effects. But an experimental imaging device could soon provide enormous help with the decision. [MSNBC]
This looks very promising as a non-invasive way to gauge cancer process and location. Using a standard MRI, the cancer shows up as red, and they can decide accurately whether a more radical surgery is truly required, rather than losing potency "just to be on the safe side."
