Carnival fans flocked along St. Charles and Bourbon Street for Fat Tuesday events. Harry Connick Jr. led parades Proteus and Orpheus while revelers filled the French Quarter. Weather dampened business and organizers noted the early date cut turnout, though many, like Beverly Lott and her husband, voiced strong enthusiasm for the festival.

Annan says Sudan fails key U.N. demands in Darfur
U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan states Sudan has not disarmed militias or halted attacks on villages, with Darfur violence continuing and 2.3 million civilians affected. He notes at least 70,000 deaths as a U.N. council debates sanctions and a peacekeeping mission, while the U.S. favors an Arusha tribunal approach and Sudan rejects sending suspects abroad.
