A.M. Scouting Report: Scientology's video channel, Charlie Rose's black eye

• The Church of Scientology, in an apparent effort to defend itself against digital crusaders, has put up its own video channel.  Said the church's news release: "Through 82 broadcast-quality videos, comprising almost 3 hours of content, the Scientology.org Video Channel provides an overview of the basic beliefs and practices of the religion." 

• TV interviewer Charlie Rose has a black eye, but his laptop's fine.  Here's what TechCrunch found out when they called Rose's producers: 

Rose tripped in a pothole while walking on 59th Street in Manhattan. He was carrying a newly purchased MacBook Air and made a quick (but ultimately flawed) decision while falling: sacrifice the face, protect the computer. "In doing so, he pretty much hit the pavement face first, unfortunately," they said.
