What are my legal rights, and what compensation can I get from a UK television channel who used a photograph I had taken without my permission, but which I had uploaded onto facebook??

Article in UK newspaper The Independent about two members of Nottingham University, U.K., Rizwaan Sabir and Hicham Yezza, who were arrested last week on terrorism charges and held for six days before being released without charge. The reason was that they had downloaded a terrorist manual from a US government website, which MA student Sabir needed for his research into terrorism, and which was approved by his supervisor. His friend Hicham Yezza, former student and current administrator at the university was arrested for helping to print out the 1500 page document. On release Yezza was then immediately rearrested on immigration charges and now faces imminent deportation, despite being a resident of the UK for 13 years and currently in the process of applying for citizenship. A campaign is currently underway to prevent this.

Interesting article in New Scientist describing how a Canadian artist created this representation of Ravel's Bolero whilst she unknowingly had the very same progressive aphasia that Ravel had when he composed the music.

A mouse has been genetically engineered to no longer fear cats. Surely this is now only a matter of time.

Does anyone know the source of a description by a sceptic attending a nazi rally in the 30s who was unable to resist shouting along with everyone else? I'm sure I read about it somewhere.

In the film 'Pleasantville' Jeff Daniels has a book of paintings, one of which shows a weeping woman, presumably by Picasso. It's not Weeping Woman (1937) and I can't find a picture of it online. Does anyone know which painting it is??

Does space expanding require more nothingness inbetween?

I played this IQ test online a few days ago here: http://www.iqtest.dk/main.swf and didn't do too badly. However, the last question (no. 39) seems completely impossible. I worked out by elimination which answer must be the right one but I still can't figure out why it's right. Are there any genuises out there who can put me out of my misery please?
