A clubrun crash injures three riders
Monday the 3 January 2011 will linger long in the memory of every club member.
On the day when celebrations to open the club's new HQ were about to begin, one of the two clubruns that were heading back to Bury St Edmunds for the official opening was dramatically halted when a touch of wheels brought down three riders. It was immediately apparent that this was a major incident, with all three riders injured – two unconscious.
As injured riders and bikes completely blocked the Bury to Saxham road the remaining members of the group began what was to be a most challenging experience. Thankfully Gareth Doman, a club member and paramedic, was with the group and he quickly assessed the situation and relayed his requirements to ambulance control. Some club members stopped traffic while others, under the direction of Gareth, attended the injured riders.
Richard Farrow had sustained shoulder and leg injuries, and was made as comfortable as possible; Ron Fisher was unconscious and bleeding from a head wound, and Peter Stephenson-Wall was unconscious with a head injury. Ron quickly regained consciousness and was immobilised until help arrived, and Gareth, who had divided his time between Ron and Peter, concentrated his efforts on Peter, who was in a serious condition.
It was an immense relief to all concerned to see the lights of the first ambulance arriving on the scene, and also see the familiar face of club member, and paramedic, Darren Fowler sitting inside. Shortly afterwards a second ambulance arrived followed by the air ambulance's helicopter, which landed on a field next to the group.
Whilst Ron was examined and found to have shoulder and rib injuries as well as the head wound, the main focus of attention was on Peter. Under the instructions of the air ambulance's doctor, Peter was given emergency aid before being carefully carried by paramedics and club members to the waiting helicopter, and flown to Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge.
Meanwhile, Ron was stretchered into one of the ambulances and taken to West Suffolk Hospital in Bury; and finally it was Richard Farrow's turn to be carried into the remaining ambulance and taken to the West Suffolk.
It was then left to club members to reopen the road, collect their bikes and ride to the newly opened clubroom. In the hubbub of the post-opening gathering they did their best to greet club mates and answer questions, but their thoughts were elsewhere.
Finally, the club owes a debt of gratitude to Gareth Doman, who when starting out on that morning's clubrun never dreamt that he would be at the centre of such an emergency operation. Without his coordination and leadership the opening phase of the operation would have been chaotic. Thanks must also go to Darren and the other paramedics, and to the team on the air ambulance, for their expert care and attention. And thanks also to Nathan Colman for collecting the damaged bikes and kit. And lastly thanks to the members of that ill-fated clubrun, who rallied round and helped their friends as best they could.

Enforcing copyright protection laws [2][in Lebanon] is critically needed to attract investments [3], the economy minister said Monday, adding that the ministry is in process of reviewing patent and trademark registration procedures.
"We are absolutely sure that enforcing copyright rules is a main incentive for investments, and a key element to boost competitiveness," Minister Nicolas Nahas told attendees at a workshop organized by the World Intellectual Property Organization.
Nahas added the ministry was reviewing copyright registration procedures, adding that registration, transfer and licensing fees should be reduced, particularly for small- and medium-sized enterprises.
Roger Nesnas, head of the Lebanese Socio-Economic Council, echoed Nahas views, highlighting enforcing copyright laws as a prerequisite for developing Lebanon's information technology and other innovative sectors. [4]
Anil Sinha, head of SMEs division at WIFPO, discussed the role of intellectual property in strengthening competitiveness of small enterprises. He said over 80 percent of SMEs' assets had become copyright related.
"Cementing copyright through advanced technologies and methods has become necessary," Sinha added.

Tokyo (AFP) April 18, 2011
Public support for Japanese Prime Minister Naoto Kan's cabinet rebounded following the March 11 disaster, but a majority of voters criticised its response to the nuclear crisis, a poll showed Monday.
The Nikkei business daily said in its latest opinion poll that the approval rating for the cabinet rose to 27 percent from 22 percent in its previous survey in late February, while the disapproval rate remained unchanged at 67 percent.
The telephone survey was carried out on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, covering 1,603 voters across the nation of whom 61 percent gave valid responses.
Seventy percent of the respondents said they gave little credit to the government response to the accident at Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, while just 19 percent praised its action.
Another opinion poll carried out by the Mainichi Shimbun showed that public support for the cabinet rose to 22 percent from 19 percent in February, while the disapproval rate fell to 54 percent from 60 percent.
Sixty-eight percent of respondents did not praise the government's response to the nuclear accident against 28 percent showing support for its handling of the crisis, the Mainichi poll showed.
Seventy-eight percent said Kan had not shown leadership in tackling the aftermath of the disaster, it showed.
The 9.0-magnitude quake and resulting tsunami slammed into Japan's northeast coast on March 11, killing at least 13,705 people, with more than 14,000 more still missing.
The monster wave also crippled the nuclear power plant, with radiation from the overheating reactors making its way into the air, land and sea, leading the government to impose exclusion zones around the plant.
earlier related report
Commentators have heaped praise on the emotional resilience of people who have lost everything, but, say some, the surface calm masks deep undercurrents of emotion.
"To be honest I really feel like breaking down and crying -- because I'm sad," said evacuee Kenichi Endo, 45, briefly screwing his eyes shut.
"I've lost my father, my pet, my car, my savings. I've lost everything. But, everyone here is the same. If I cry, everyone else will, so I can't," he told AFP in a shelter in Onagawa town, clenching his fists into tight balls.
Unbearable tragedy was heaped on Japan on March 11 when a 9.0 magnitude quake unleashed a gigantic wave on the country's northeast, killing more than 13,500 people and leaving over 14,000 missing.
More than five weeks on and tens of thousands of evacuees are still living in school gymnasiums and other public buildings, sharing their sleeping space with dozens -- sometimes hundreds -- of other people.
Under these conditions, emotion remains tightly regulated.
Instead, grief appears at unexpected times -- while sleeping, listening to music or even while eating.
"The one thing I really want now is privacy," said Ken Hiraaki, an evacuee in another shelter. "At night I hear people groaning in their dreams. But sometimes my wife wakes me up because I am groaning too."
The unwillingness of many survivors to openly discuss their sadness is worrying health professionals, who say it makes them vulnerable to depression and long-term problems.
"Many people now are in a phase of acute stress disorder, which is a totally natural response to this level of trauma," said Ritsuko Nishimae, a clinical psychologist working with international aid group Doctors Without Borders (MSF) in Minamisanriku.
"If they are not able to get proper support psychologically, there is an increased possibility that they could develop post-traumatic stress disorder," she said.
In Japan depression continues to carry a stigma it has long shed in much of the West. This is especially marked in rural areas such as the disaster-struck northeast, where community and family ties are strong.
It is only in the past decade that metropolitan Japan has begun to tackle taboos on mental illness, with around 900,000 people a year treated for depression, a condition referred to euphemistically as "heart flu."
Psychiatrists, who are known as "heart carers", say many more people could benefit from treatment.
"When you say psychiatry, people become extremely sensitive. They think it is embarrassing," said Naoki Hayashi, a psychiatrist from Tokyo working in an evacuation centre in Rikuzentakata.
"They look at me quizzically, as if they're saying, 'Who are you?' So instead of telling them I'm a psychiatrist I just tell them I am a doctor," he added.
"Survivors feel guilty if they talk about their hurt because everyone is suffering. They feel they can't just come out and talk about it and that's particularly strong in rural areas."
Japanese medical groups have sent 115 "heart carers" to the disaster zone, but only 25 are doctors, with the rest being nurses and other medical staff.
At the evacuation centre in Onagawa there was little to indicate the "heart caring room" was anything out of the ordinary, its tatami mats and low table making it look like an ordinary dining room.
The centre's residents were all aware that it was there, but, despite the attempts of professionals to make the room non-threatening, few had ventured in to seek help.
"Japanese people don't like talking about themselves and their problems to strangers. I'd rather talk to my friends or family," said Keiko Katsumata, 57.
Survivors of World War II are usually even less open to the idea.
"Even if I do see a doctor like that, he won't solve my problems. I've experienced war, I've gone through a lot. That's where my strength comes from," said 77-year-old Toshiko Sawamura.
"We, the older generation, are different from the younger generation. They are weaker."

When The Factory Is A Theme Park
Visitors to Ford Motor Co.'s (F ) new truck plant are shaken as a multi-ton metal-stamping press slams shut. Heat rains down from welding sparks, followed by the cooling mist of a paint shop. Too close for comfort? Hardly.
At Ford's historic Rouge manufacturing complex in Dearborn, Mich., tourists will watch the assembly of F-150 pickup trucks from the safety of a mezzanine 16 feet above the factory floor. But they will also get a much more personal feel for the action through multi-sensory special effects spilling out of 360-degree screens in an accompanying video tour. The $14 admission price also buys a history lesson about the 87-year-old Rouge property, where Henry Ford once cranked out the Model A and battled union activists, and a display of Ford vehicles through the ages. The finishing touch: an 80-foot tower from which it's possible to look out over a 10-acre lawn that covers the complex' "living roof," as well as the surrounding crab-apple orchard, beehives, and solar panels.
The Rouge plant is a far cry from the smoke-belching behemoth that was once so polluting that a nearby river caught fire. And Ford's fancy $30 million visitor center, which reopens on May 3, doesn't present your typical factory tour. Rather, it's the latest example of what brand experts call "experiential" marketing. Frustrated by the growing difficulties of reaching consumers through traditional advertising, companies from Mattel Inc. (MAT ) to DaimlerChrysler (DCX ) are adding engrossing personal experiences to drive home the lessons behind their brand.
In Ford's case, that means creating a kind of theme park to make the case that a company with 100 years of history can lead the way toward earth-friendly, 21st century manufacturing. The timing is key. Ford is about to start selling its first gas-electric hybrid vehicles. Bob Rogers, president of Burbank (Calif.) BRC Imagination Arts, which designed the Ford visitors center, says that with 250,000 visitors a year expected, "the corporation will never have a better chance or a more attentive audience to explain its corporate values and its mission."
The beauty of a well-designed factory tour is that while it doesn't reach nearly as many people as a TV spot, it can attract the very consumers who are most likely to buy. Binney & Smith Inc.'s recently updated Crayola Factory in Easton, Pa., shows 375,000 kids and their families each year how crayons are made. But the real focus of the $9-a-head visit is finger painting, drawing, and other, well, hands-on projects using Crayola products in brightly colored play areas. Says marketing consultant Joe Pine, co-founder of Strategic Horizons: "You're getting potential customers to pay you to sell to them."
In a few cases, these "experiences" can be cash cows. Devotees of Mattel's American Girl historically themed dolls flock to its Chicago and New York emporiums, spending hundreds of dollars to take in musical shows, have their dolls' hair styled, or buy party packages. But for the most part, these setups are loss leaders geared at generating word of mouth. And if Ford's high-tech center succeeds in giving even some of its visitors a warm and fuzzy feeling about a manufacturing giant, it'll have pulled off a feat few ad campaigns could match.
By Kathleen Kerwin in Dearborn

Project DescriptionFROM THE AIA:
The seven-story mixed-use building consists of five units of adaptable live-work space. Large steel-clad doors on the alley-facing façade can be opened with a custom-designed hand wheel and hinge, connected to a davit crane on the roof. This system makes it possible to lift large objects from the alley into each unit. Geothermal loops inserted in the building's structural piles create an innovative and highly energy-efficient radiant heating and cooling system. This is one of the first uses of this type of geothermal system in the United States.

:''For the mission in [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]] see [[Lure (GTA SA)]].''
- For the mission in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas see Lure (GTA SA).
Lure is a mission in Grand Theft Auto IV that Niko Bellic completes for Francis McReary.
Francis greets Niko angrily by the fountain. He explains that although Clarence Little has had his fate, Little's right hand man is threating to talk the cops about McReary. Francis threats to expose Niko's deeds to the feds if he is busted, Niko is still not killing him. Francis then pays, so Niko agrees to take out Little's man.
After the cutscene, hail a taxi or drive to the Feltzer in a parking lot across town. Your sniper rifle ammo will rise once you hop in. Drive to the building nearby with the sports car. Park the car and as per Francis' instructions, climb the building on the opposite side of the street. At the roof, a cutscene shows Little's right hand man watching TV, however he is not seen from the scope of the rifle. It's time to lure the man to the window somehow.
You'll see a number on the dealer's phone: 545-555-0122. If you don't take action, eventually Francis will call you with the number. Call it and the dealer will get up to answer the phone, thinking the caller is someone named Shaniqua, possibly his girlfriend. Aim the scope at his head and pull the trigger. After that, get off the roof and back to the street.
Alternatively, the player can shoot the satellite dish hanging outside the apartment. Once shot, the TV's picture goes fuzzy, and the dealer will get up to look at it, exposing himself for a clear shot. Also, the player can shoot the television and the dealer will look out the window for a very brief moment, allowing the player to kill him.
- There is a glitch that allows you to enter the dealer's apartment after the mission.
- The mission prompts you to get down from the roof after you've killed the target. You can jump from the top of the building and complete the mission that way. Niko will then call Francis after waking up at the hospital. This saves time, and is handy if you're going for the Liberty City Minute achievement.

Balancing Automobile And Pedestrian Traffic
"Shoppers might appreciate contained environments like Faneuil Market. But once they step onto the urban grid, they expect movement and action. Urban planners are discovering that shopping districts thrive on the friction between pedestrians and autos. Merchants want to be discovered by passing motorists. Pedestrians appreciate the sense of safety offered by car headlights at night. Too much space, it turns out, can be worse than too little. Downtown Crossing's open turf provides too many congregating points for vagrants. The reintroduction of automobiles could restore the natural urban balance where space is precious."
Thanks to Brenda Meyer

A generator is a machine that produces electric power. Since generating electric power requires that a generator should be sturdy, its components are usually made of heavy duty metal.
This means that a generator is quite heavy, even though advertisements say that it is light. Moving it from one place to another is a hassle. Also, because of the unit's heavy weight, the people carrying it might drop the unit, possibly damaging it. That is why some units come with generator wheel kits.
Generator wheel kits, otherwise known as mobility or dolly kits, allow people to move generators with ease. Kits can come in two or four wheel sets. These wheels are of the pneumatic type. This means that the wheels can absorb vibration and shock.
Generator wheel kits are usually bolted or welded to the generators themselves. However, some generators do not have built in wheel kits. For these generators, the wheel kits must be purchased separately. However, these are hard to find.
Fortunately, you can make a generator wheel kit of your own. The main product that can be used is a 37320 Flatbed Wagon. This can be purchased in Harbor Freight or any tool or hardware store. The wagon has everything that is needed to build a neat mobility kit such as wheels, axles, a platform and a handle. If you have bought a portable generator and decide to buy this wagon, please note that the wagon is longer than the generator itself.
When you open the box containing the flatbed wagon, the handle and axle/wheel assembly are bolted to the platform. First, remove the assembly and put it aside.
Around the perimeter of the plywood platform is a plastic protective bumper. Remove the staples and peel away the bumper.
You would want to center your generator on the platform. Place the platform on the generator and determine the new perimeter, using the generator's framework as a guide. Using a circular saw, cut out the perimeter and discard the excess wood.
Using the handle and wheel/axle assembly as a guide, drill out new mounting holes on the new platform, using the assembly's bolt holes as a guide. Drill those holes. At this stage, make sure that the tires wound not extend anywhere in the platform.
Re-staple the protective bumper to the edges of the new platform and cut out the excess. Turn the platform right side up and bolt the generator on it.
And there you have it, a customized generator wheel kit! It just takes a bit of ingenuity and creativity to solve this little problem.Tags: wheel assembly, hardware store, heavy weight, portable generator <BR/>

Wynonna first gained fame in 1984 as part of one of the most successful duos of all time, The Judds, and has been critically lauded as one of the finest vocalists of our time. The Judds celebrated amazing success in a short period of time, selling over 20 million albums and collecting over 60 prestigious industry awards.
On top of that amazing feat, Wynonna holds multiple gold, platinum and multi-platinum certifications from the RIAA of over 9 million albums sold throughout her solo career. She has released over 43 commercial singles, celebrated 20 #1 hits, 13 additional Top 10 smashes and, in her 20th year in the music business, debuted at #1 on the Billboard Country Albums Chart with her most recent studio album, What the World Needs Now is Love.
In 2006, Wynonna shares her vocal talents and musical journey with the world on her newly certified gold DVD and double live CD, Her Story: Scenes from a Lifetime (Curb Records) as well as her inspiring personal thoughts in her New York Times Best Selling memoir, Coming Home to Myself (Penguin Books). The highly-anticipated, simultaneous releases are a culmination of the rich tapestry of this amazing artist's legacy.
The musical journey on two disc live CD and DVD spans twenty years of touring and connecting to the fans of all generations and lifetimes and includes her new single, Attitude, which she wrote with 2005 Songwriter of the Year, John Rich. The powerhouse vocalist and comedic storyteller chronologically narrates the musical journey of her life and sings two decades of amazing hits and those songs which have inspired her. Her legions of fans will also enjoy never-before-seen special bonus features on the DVD that offer insight into this talented icon's creative vision and personal life as well as fun backstage antics with Wynonna.
The craziest or most daring thing I have ever done... Have you met my family, read the book, seen the mini-series? We love to be daring! Hmmmm, I went bungee jumping on my 30th birthday, wow! That took my crazy gene to the next level. And I love riding the Tower of Terror at Disney or the Spider Man Ride at Universal Studios with my kids! I also feel a little crazy when I ride my Harley on the Natchez Trace Parkway. I was once invited impromptu to sing "Free Bird" with Phish on stage. I also took Steven Tyler from Aeromsith out on the town after one of his shows in Nashville, that was daring for me! I definitely GO FAST in life.
What three things couldn't you live without? My faith, my family and my fans!

Diving squad ranks with best
Olympic gold
Photo: Michael Clayton-Jones
THE Commonwealth Games diving team is aiming to win medals in every one of the 10 events and it expects most of its competition to come from teammates.
Olympic 10-metre platform champion Chantelle Newbery said the current team, which arrived from a training camp in Brisbane on Saturday and is ranked second in the world behind China, was among the strongest Australian squads assembled. Competition starts on Wednesday.
"I think the team is one of the strongest we've had in the Commonwealth Games ever and I think we'll medal in every event," Newbery said. "I can't see any event where we won't get either a gold, silver or bronze and I think in some events we going to double up in medals."
Olympic 10-metre synchronised silver medallist Mathew Helm said although there would be competition from England and Canada, the Australians would find that they would be competing for medals with their teammates.
"We're each others' toughest competition," said Helm, who is to compete in the one- and three-metre springboard events, the three-metre synchronised and 10-metre platform. "We've got some competition for other countries but this team is really strong this year.
"The young ones are looking up to beat the old ones, the more experienced ones are looking to stay ahead, so it's cat and mouse for every one on the team."
Olympic 10-metre platform bronze medallist Loudy Tourky said she had been making progress in recovering from the ankle injury that has forced her to withdraw from the three-metre synchronised event. She will compete in the 10-metre platform individual and synchronised events.
"The last two weeks, I haven't done a great deal of diving, but I don't think that will hurt me too much," Tourky said. "I've been diving for a fairly long time now. The work I did (yesterday) I was really, really happy with it and I am probably back to where I was technically before I got the injury.
"Probably more mentally more than anything it affected me, but it will just be a test to see how strong I am, really."
Newbery said she and her three-metre synchronised partner Kathryn Blackshaw have had only a few days to bed down their routine.
"We've had three training sessions together and one dry-land (session)," Newbery said. " It would have been nice to have a bit more preparation but we've only got this week to deal with it and we're not going to cry over lost time. We're just going to get up there and do the best we can. You don't know, it could work in our favour."
" Because Kathryn is a bit taller, she has a longer arm swing than I would have and I'm a bit quicker off the board, so it's a matter of me trying to slow down and Kathryn speeding up a little bit, but we're getting it together."
Meanwhile, the youngest member of the team, Melissa Wu, said she was biding her time before her 10-metre individual and synchronised events on the first two days of competition.
"I'm always nervous before competitions but I'm not really feeling it too much yet," Wu said. "I'm just really enjoying myself but I'm sure when it gets closer to my event, I'll feel the nerves kick in."

Bell, Burton, Ryder – will the Parole Board ever learn?
Bell, Burton, Ryder – will the Parole Board ever learn?
The Sensible Sentencing Trust (SST) is outraged that the Parole Board has released another violent offender, who reoffended only months later.
Convicted child killer, Peter Wayne Ryder, was released by the Parole Board after they declared he was no longer a threat to the safety of the community.
"Within months of his release he attacked his former partner and threatened to kill her," Trust spokesman Garth McVicar says. "This was the second time he had been released on parole after murdering a 10-year-old child."
The Sensible Sentencing Trust says some hard questions need to be asked. Is the Parole System working? Who would be responsible if Ryder had killed his victim? Why someone already sentenced to 'LIFE' was ever released?
"It seems the Parole Board have learnt nothing after tragedies such as Graeme Burton or William Bell," McVicar says. He's also concerned that the Parole Board are treating 'safety of the community' as a throw away slogan with no meaning and no consequence.
"This guy [Ryder] is a child killer; he murdered a 10 year-old defenseless boy who died from the horrific injuries Ryder inflicted on him during a two-day beating," he says. "The boy had emergency surgery at Christchurch Hospital to relieve brain swelling, but was diagnosed as brain-stem dead four days later."
Ryder was convicted and sentenced to a life sentence for the death of the boy. "For this offence Ryder was sentenced to that biggest swindle of all, 'a LIFE sentence' but conned the parole board that he was rehabilitated and they released him in 2005."
Ryder then went on to reoffend and was recalled to prison. He was then released, again, by the Parole Board as they expected he would 'progress very smoothly' back into the community.
"They even had the audacity to say 'he knows the consequences if he does not'," McVicar said. "If the Parole Board are so naive they still believe that an offender who has murdered a defenseless 10-year-old child can ever be taught 'consequences' then they have their heads in the sand."
SST is deeply concerned that Ryder will be recalled to prison and released again, only to reoffend, and possibly kill, again.
"Of course Ryder will be recalled to prison – again – but he will be released –again – when the Parole Board, who by the way are responsible for OUR safety, deem he is no longer an undue risk to the safety of the community," McVicar says. "Bell, Burton, Ryder, what a terribly fateful sound!"

"Hollywood" is the second single from Madonna's ninth album "American Life", released in 2003. The single failed to chart in the U.S., becoming the first Madonna single in twenty years not to do so.
ong information
The song was the follow-up to the single "American Life," but it suffered from the anti-war message that the song's original video had displayed. "Hollywood" became Madonna's first single to miss the Billboard Hot 100 since she first appeared on to the chart twenty years prior with "Holiday." "Hollywood" was released as the second "American Life" single on
July 3 2003in Europeand on July 8in the United States.
In an interview, Madonna said of the song: "This song is like a metaphor for me. It's the city of dreams and superficiality. It's the place where you forget about the really interesting things in life. In Hollywood, you can lose your memory and your vision of the future. You can lose everything because you can lose yourself." Fact|date=May 2008
The single featured
remixes by Jacques Lu Cont, The Micronauts, Paul Oakenfold, Deepskyand Victor Calderone. Sander Kleinenberg's remix can be heard in the vinyl EP "Confessions of an Icon: Remix EP", a bootleg record. Kleinenberg's remix is shortened for this release and is an edit of what he played on his radio show.
In 2005 the song found an unlikely incarnation when it was performed live on occasion by controversial rocker,
Marilyn Mansonduring his Against All Gods tour. Guitarist Mark Chausee would play the song's recognizable arpeggiated riff, while Manson could be heard hauntingly singing the arguably melancholy lyrics offstage. It is unknown whether this infrequent interpretation of the song was officially endorsed and licensed by Madonna or not, but between 2005 and 2006 the two icons, Manson and Madonna, met for the first time and confessed for one another a mutual admiration. In 2004, a cover version of the song was recorded by indie dance-punk group CSS.
Madonna also performed "Hollywood" on the
MTVspecial, "Onstage And On Record", and as an interlude on her 2004 Re-Invention Tour.
Into the Hollywood Groove
In August 2003, the song was remixed with "
Into the Groove" and performed with Missy Elliottunder the title " Into the Hollywood Groove" as part of a promotional campaign for clothing store GAP. [ [http://www.csmonitor.com/2003/0808/p19s01-almp.html Sellout or smart marketing? | csmonitor.com ] ] Copies of the promotional CD were given away to customers, and were not available for individual purchase. [ [http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2003/07/25/BU267694.DTL Bands to fit the brand / S.F. company's CDs sell for likes of Pottery Barn / S.F. company leading trend of 'lifestyle' CDs in nonmusic retailers ] ] An extended mix (The Passengerz Mix) was also recorded and appears on the compilation " Remixed & Revisited". A promotional video was also shot, which received negative reviews from advertising critics. [ [http://www.slate.com/id/2087161/ Madonna and Missy Elliott fall into the Gap. - By Rob Walker - Slate Magazine ] ] A parody of the commercial was featured on MADtvwhich poked fun at Madonna's age.
Chart performance
"Hollywood" failed to break onto the
Billboard Hot 100in the United States; it did manage some minimal pop and adult top 40 airplay.
"Hollywood" was released at a time when many American radio stations refused to play Madonna's songs, a decision perceived as a rebuttal to her anti-war sentiment in wake of the
2003 Invasion of Iraq, which is noted to also be a driving cause for the song's low chart positions.
Though the song failed to enter the Hot 100, "Hollywood" did manage to break the top twenty in the singles charts of many other countries in which it was released. In the UK it entered at #2 (but fell to #15 in its second chart week).
In the United World Chart it peaked at number three.
Music video
The video dealt with the often shallow world of Hollywood. The video also features Madonna receiving
botoxshots, now a symbol for the superficiality of the celebrity set. The video was based around re-creations of the photographs of Guy Bourdin. Bourdin's son didn't consider the video to be homage, but rather stealing, and sued Madonna for using the images by his father without permission. Although Madonna has frequently appropriated the work of other artists in her music videos without legal trouble, in this case she reportedly settled the lawsuit with a $600,000 payout.
"Hollywood" was filmed on
June 2-3, 2003at Universal Studiosin Universal City, Californiaand directed by Jean-Baptiste Mondino. In the US, it premiered on June 23 2003on VH1(along with a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the video), June 24on yahoo.com and June 27on MTV.
Two official remix videos of "Hollywood" were also released: the "Aviddiva Remix" created by Dustin Robertson is the more popular of the two remixes and features unreleased footage from the video shoot. The second remix video entitled the "Paul Oakenfold Edit" was released by
Warner Bros. Recordsas a promo-only and consists mostly of clips from the original video.

More Damage Reported After Flooding
PENN YAN, N.Y. (AP) _ A Finger Lakes building that serves people with developmental disabilities will cost a half million dollars to repair from recent flooding.
Yates County officials say the Arc of Yates building in Penn Yan is in ``a state of ruin'' with major damage to floors, walls, computers, furniture and the phone system. More than 100 developmentally disabled people have been affected.
Penn Yan was hit hard two weeks ago by flash flooding from severe thunderstorms, prompting Gov. Andrew Cuomo to declare a state of emergency for Yates County, 35 miles southeast of Rochester.
The not-for-profit organization that operates the facility is asking for donations because the damage far exceeds what its insurance covers. Its programs have been temporarily located until cleanup and repairs are complete.

Jennifer Lopez Launching New Reality Show
Jennifer Lopez is having so much fun at the American Idol judges' table that she's looking to launch her own competitive reality show.
The entertainer is working with Idol creator Simon Fuller and his XIX Entertainment company to create a singing talent show for the Latin community, Entertainment Weekly reports. The show would have Lopez and her musician husband Marc Anthony touring Latin America in search of the next big talent.
Does this mean Lopez is leaving Idol after only one season?
EW doesn't seem to think so, but she is only signed up for one season as of late. However, her upcoming reality show is still in the early phases and does not yet have a network home.
Meanwhile, when she's not judging musical artists, she's making music herself. Lopez has been releasing songs from her new album Love?, and most recently posted a song on her Facebook.

Last week, we were treated to the proverbial 800-pound gorilla of economic readings -- the monthly employment report. By comparison in the animal kingdom, this week's readings should barely register on the scales as fruit flies.
Having seen key readings on the job market, manufacturing and the services sector, and digesting the statement from the Federal Reserve, it is generally believed that we continue to see moderate growth in the economy. The feared double-whammies of federal tax cuts and the increase in payroll taxes haven't been as ferocious as imagined.
This week's readings include (all times eastern):
- March Consumer credit from the Federal Reserve, 3 p.m. Tuesday.
- New jobless claims from the Labor Department, 8:30 a.m. Thursday.
- Federal budget statement from the Treasury Department, 2 p.m. Friday.
See, we told you there wasn't much.
Zeroing in on the deficit
The Treasury budget statement tends not to influence the financial markets, but the ongoing budget saga in Washington, D.C., reflects the inability of President Barack Obama's administration and Congress to forge broad agreement on short-term and long-term challenges. The budget statement captures the short-term picture, while many worry that the long-term debt picture isn't being seen as a priority for elected officials.
Last time around, the Treasury reported the deficit for the first half of the fiscal year stood at $600 billion. For March, the deficit was $107 billion.
Good news story
Despite all of the butting heads in Washington, the deficit has been going down. Budget expert Stan Collender, with Qorvis Communications, says, "We've been in an unspoken austerity period for several years." As proof, he notes that "federal involvement in the economy has been declining, as both a percentage of (gross domestic product) and as nominal numbers." Collender says that's taking the pressure off for more immediate fixes or a so-called grand bargain.
Worry about the long term
Clearly placed within the camp that's worried about the broader picture is economist Robert Brusca with Fact and Opinion Economics. Brusca says, "We're doing the same thing as Europe with our budget situation. Everybody is kicking the can down the road." He says the forecasts for trouble, in part because of unfunded liabilities for Social Security and Medicare, are among the reasons why employers haven't hired more than they have. "Fixing the out-year deficits is the way we can give the economy a boost," Brusca says.
Back to unemployment claims
The story of the weekly jobless claims has been positive. Fewer people have been laid off, prompting fewer people to seek unemployment assistance. In last week's snapshot, the Labor Department said the number of Americans filing first-time claims for unemployment assistance fell last week to 324,000, the lowest since January 2008. The other part of the job market equation, namely hiring, hasn't been quite as positive.
This week in business history
With all of the attention recently on our own Federal Reserve, we might forget about other central banks around the world. While the Fed has demonstrated its independence from the political world, the Bank of England has only been independent for a little over a decade. On May 6, 1997, the BOE was set free from political control by then-Chancellor of the Exchequer, Gordon Brown.

available at RootsWeb, for example uploading a file. However, it's been my
observation that new groups tend to languish after an initial flurry of activity. It
might take a lot of outreach by the owner for the group to flourish, much like I
did in the early years of GENEALOGY-DNA. I still occasionally invite people

DOUGIE Freedman did not want to make his dual strike force the topic of conversation last weekend – but as the club prepare to ask supporters for their backing again next season, is there an added onus on the team to entertain?
Season tickets will be back on the agenda before long at the Reebok, which would make victory over local rivals Blackburn Rovers all the better timed in tomorrow's derby clash. The win over Watford was certainly a step in the right direction, and a tantalising glimpse of what this side could have offered in the last six months had it played to its capability.
But the fact a return to form coincided with Freedman playing two strikers up front together was not lost on a single supporter, despite his attempts to play it down after the final whistle.
Already faced with a defensive reshuffle thanks to Matt Mills' knee injury, and now with a man down in midfield after Darren Pratley's shoulder problem looks like sidelining him for the next fortnight, can the Wanderers boss really afford to tinker with a winning plan any further?
The overwhelming majority of Whites fans would suggest not.
Contrary to popular belief, Freedman had actually employed two out-and-out strikers on eight occasions before the 2-0 win over Watford – but it has been his reluctance to do so more often at the Reebok that has really been the cause for frustration by those who pay through the turnstiles.
Five of those occasions had been on home turf. And only once – against a strong QPR side at the start of the season – had Wanderers failed to pick up a point.
Freedman was right to point out his back four have improved in recent weeks, which makes the absence of Mills all the more disappointing against Rovers.
He had formed a decent partnership with David Wheater, while the full-back positions, for so long a bone of contention, are also looking more reliable than they have at any stage since Marc Tierney's untimely injury in late September.
However Freedman looks to shuffle his pack tomorrow, the spectre of Jordan Rhodes still looms large. The Scot – though without a goal in eight games – has scored three in his last three games against Wanderers despite barely getting a kick of the ball. Rovers have struck a fine balance of late, employing a target man in Cardiff City loanee Rudy Gestede alongside the ubiquitous poacher Rhodes, mirroring the pairing of Lukas Jutkiewicz and Joe Mason – another Bluebird – that worked so well for the Whites against Watford.
But will Freedman stick to the formula that worked so well seven days ago knowing the importance that back-to-back wins could have at a stage of the year when the club are preparing to ask fans to put their hands into their pockets once again?
Value for money is the name of the game – and, as ever, Wanderers are trying to think outside the box in trying to make the matchday experience the best they possibly can.
But for every bright idea hatched in the offices around the Reebok, their success or failure depends almost entirely on results on the pitch.
And that is where Wanderers have failed this season.
The balance between attack and defence has been something that near enough every Wanderers manager of recent times has struggled to deal with.
Gary Megson was criticised for playing too direct – something that was also aimed at his predecessor Sam Allardyce at times, while Sammy Lee and Owen Coyle failed to address tactical issues, particularly defensive ones, and paid the ultimate price.
Freedman falls between the two stools. His critics have suggested that a defensive approach does not suit the attacking personnel at his disposal.
The manager has dug in his heels over many issues since coming to the club 16 months ago, regardless of how his popularity has been affected.
It has, quite clearly, been a difficult time to manage the football club.
"The two strikers did well and they will hit the headlines," shrugged the Wanderers boss after the Watford win. "But I really want to talk about the back four who got a clean sheet."
Wouldn't it be great if both topics were up for discussion after the Blackburn game?

Junior Iditarod champion looks to musical future
Teenage Junior Iditarod champion plans to release his first EP this summer
ANCHORAGE – The winner of this year's Junior Iditarod, 17-year-old Conway Seavey comes from a long line of mushers.
His father, Mitch Seavey, is a two-time winner of the Last Great Race. His brother, Dallas Seavey, won the 2012 race at the age of 25 and became the youngest musher to take the title.
"It's what you do if you're a Seavey," said Conway, who began mushing more than a decade ago.
But the teenage champion has another passion — music.
"We have commercial fisherman, you know we have dog mushers, we have wrestlers, all kinds of macho man stuff," Seavey said. "But I'm the only musician."
Seavey, who plans to release his first EP this summer, said he grew to love songwriting while driving dogs down snow-covered trails. Now, he said, he's trading Iditarod dreams for a future in music.
"It's grabbed me in a way that nothing else has," he said.

Published: June 3, 2010 at 12:34 PMEverything you said is exactly what I pack in my bookbag for trips. I also reccommend crocs if you will be visiting parks with water rides so you don't walk around all day squeeking.
Published: June 3, 2010 at 12:42 PMWhen we took our first trip, me and my husband both carried backpacks with everything under the sun in it. Over the next few years, it became one bag with less and less stuff in it. Last year we packed backpacks to take with us and never used it. He carries our camera and camera bag and we always stick our debit cards, cash, i.d. & park tickets in that. We usually carry bottled water in our hands and reused them. We put on sunscreen right before exiting our rooms and generally never spend more than 4 hours a time at the park while it's hot. We take a break, eat and nap before heading back in the evening which helps keep us from being dehydrated, sunburned and wore out. This has also helped eliminate the need to carry a bag around.
I don't mind it, but if you put too much stuff in there after awhile your back and neck are aching. Luckily we've never popped up with an emergency on any trips so there wasn't a need for all the stuff. Snacks we usually leave in our rooms and go back and eat during our breaks, or right in or outside of which ever park we are visiting.
I am lactose intolerant so I keep alka seltzer and lactaid pills in my short pockets or the camera bag in case I get up the nerve to have dairy products. I am then prepared.
Published: June 3, 2010 at 12:51 PMI'm of the opinion that backpacks are overkill in theme parks (water parks are a different matter.) Do you really need to carry ALL of that stuff around with you everywhere? If you're going to stash it in a locker, fine. Otherwise it's flat out inefficient. For example: Put on water-proof sunscreen in the morning BEFORE you get to the park and be done with it. Drink from the water fountains most parks have if you're not up for colas. Water-proof zip bags tuck easily into cargo shorts.
Worst of all, in my experience at least, most folks don't know how to handle a backpack - they're constantly bumping into others, knocking over displays, stopping in the middle of walkways to rifle through them, delaying loading times, etc. Ditch the bag - set yourself free and enjoy the park.
Published: June 3, 2010 at 1:10 PMI have a Disney annual pass. I carry a back pack every time I go & I never regret it! Other items you must have, pain killers, you don't want a headache and have to swim through the crowd to get some. For girls... Femnine supplies, always be prepared. For longer haired people, brush and something to put your hair up, it gets bothersome after awhile. Chapstick, hand lotion, tums, your meds, trail mix, and sunglasses. It may sound like alot, but if you bring only the amount you need and put it all in a ziplock bag you will be good to go. If you buy something use the extra room in your bag to put it in. You will be hands free all day!
Published: June 3, 2010 at 1:42 PMhandy wipes are a must!
Published: June 3, 2010 at 1:45 PMRash guard shirts are a must, to wear not carry because a regular t-shirt only has about 8spf sunscreen in it, a good rash guard has at least 30spf & will save you lots of pain not just for the kids but parents as well, because if even one person has a sunburn everyone will be unhappy. I also agree with the croc for the water parks, and I think if you can put some of the important stuff in a fanny pack all the better because you can't always take the backpack on certain rides, so you can leave it in the car & get it after lunch when your ready to do less exciting & dry rides .
Published: June 3, 2010 at 6:26 PMBACKPACK???? Whazzat?
I have a zippered pouch that I wear under my shirt, around my neck and under my arm. In the pouch are my car key, money, Season Pass, license, and cell phone. Anything else..food, drink, windbreaker, spare clothes... is in the car.
Published: June 3, 2010 at 7:16 PMJames, I've taken use of a fairly small backpack/bag that has been useful throughout the years! We usually take a separate bag for carrying or we hold our own water. A separate bag for clothes isn't a bad idea either, but I would suggest a smaller bag. The smaller the better.
Published: June 3, 2010 at 7:46 PMI just returned from a visit to Disneyland, and I notice that backpacks make people take up more space. Disneyland has many tight bottleneck spaces, and when many people carry backpacks, the congestion gets even worse. (To be fair, an increased use of strollers and mobility devices contribute as well, but these are necessities for many people.)
I don't begrudge the need to carry items into the park, but I think the time has come for Disney to begin setting limits on the amount of bulk a guest can bring in, similar to the restrictions the airlines impose upon carry-on bags.
Published: June 3, 2010 at 7:47 PMYou do not even need a big book bag! Bring a fanney papck with moeny and first aid suplies. The water you can always hold. Also For the swimsuit rule. How are they ever GOING TO KNOW UNLESS IT GETS WET. Change in the bathroom in the stall. ALso defenitly bring a DRY SHIRT AS I HAVE JUST LEARNED. Some parks do not let you take shirts off for water rides and require you to have it on all tiems. THe same with shoes almost all parks realy enforce that one keep shes on. If you are going the RYE the shirt rule realy aplies and the wet bathing suit rule aplies. If you are wet in basicly come down to this No rides till you dry!
Published: June 4, 2010 at 5:28 AMChange of underwear. I mean really?! Ha ha.
I only ride water rides when it is really hot. Last one I was on was Popeye at IOA. It was 95 degrees that day. I remember getting off the ride and feeling dry ten minutes later. Only to then go on Dudley Do Right and get wet all over again.
I laughed when I saw the update though. Our daughters are 2 (will be 3 in 3 weeks) and 6 months. It has gotten so that we spend so much time packing for them that we forget about ourselves. Like last weekend we were packing and preparing for the zoo and then halfway there I realized I forgot my wallet and cellphone. But of course we had plenty of diapers, wet wipes, toys and snacks. ha ha.
Published: June 4, 2010 at 5:45 AMI agree, you need some stuff. What i do is i carry a backpack and inside it a fanny pack. The backpack for the wet shoes (not crocs, i hate, hate crocs) and the clothes, sunscreen (YES we put it on before we left the hotel, but is a long day and sometimes you need a little more). Not a big backpack, regular size. Is just for my stuff, but, if there are more people they carry a backpack too. The backpack stays in the locker and we only go get it when we are going to get wet or had already to change or bought something and need to store it. In the fanny pack the essentials, camera, cellphone, lip balm, something for headaches, Ponchos, Tickets etc. and if we are not going to be together we take the cellphone too, if we are, cellphone stays at the locker. We can't go to the car to change cause the car is well, at another country. The bus let us there an pick us at night, we can't go to the hotel either for the afternoon break as some due, cause we don't stay on sight. So you really need to take some stuff with you.
Published: June 4, 2010 at 7:19 AMThe day after we moved to Central Florida, I bought our family annual passes to Walt Disney World. Our home was still filled with taped up boxes during our first trip to the Magic Kingdom.
Since we had two young children, I dutifully packed up a backpack with everything we might need. And by 11:30 am, I was hot, cranky, and tired of hauling that bag around. Every ride I had to take it off and stow it. I had to remember to grab it if one child suddenly dropped their hot dog to run to Mickey Mouse.
I looked around. And spotted the group of twenty-something guys. No backpacks. No purses. And yet they somehow made it through the day.
We've refined our needs and reduced the size of everything we need. After nearly a year of visiting a theme park 1-2 times a month, this is our typical set-up:
1. Cargo clothing for everyone. Shorts, pants, or skirts with reasonable sized pockets. No need for a purse.
2. Collapsible cups. Why haul water? It's heavy. Fill a cup at a water fountain and sip there. Buy one of those gigantic sodas and split it between cups. (Less waste)
3. Trial sized sunblock. Walgreens always seems to have some inexpensive ones - even sprays.
4. A bag or two of some kind of snack. Trail mix works better than cheese and crackers.
5. Wallets and cell phones (with cameras) for the grown-ups.
6. Convenience stores carry individually portioned headache meds and allergy meds. Not that expensive and better than carrying a bottle.
7. Emergency ponchos for those that don't want to get wet on water rides or if it looks like rain.
Need a tissue or have a sticky child? Bathrooms are nearby. Keep a couple of quarters on hand if you're worried about suddenly needing feminine products. Sun glasses perch on top of the head or with sport grips.
Bonus - we can waltz through the "No Bags" line.
Published: June 4, 2010 at 7:38 AMIf I cannot fit it into a normal size fanny pack, then I do not need it. Now this may change a little now that I have a new daughter.
In my fannypack is plastic ziplock bag with the following items:
Health Insurance card (@ Mr. Niles: You missed that one!)
Debit Card (never a credit card to control spending)
Travel size purell (especially at a park on a beach)
Small digital camera
Cell phone
a Change of socks
I keep my the rest of my change of clothes (layers a must)and snack food in the car and goto the lot and take breaks.
I have always felt that walking around slighty wet is part of the experience. So I only change if I have to. However, I have exzema and I keep extra socks with me because the chemicals in the water can set off an outbreak. I keep a third pair in the car too. I always where my sunglasses with a tight fitting laner that I do not take off untill dark.
As for reusable water bottle...DO NOT bring in a nice one. Only reuse one you bought in a rest stop or store. Some parks like Cedar Point sometimes will not let you store your bottles while you are on cetain rides. You have to throw out your bottles. You don't want to lose a nice one you brought from home or in the park.
Published: June 4, 2010 at 7:37 AM@ Roxanne Price
I have a new kid now so I am forced to carry more. Love the collapsable cup idea! Great suggestions! Thank you.
Published: June 4, 2010 at 10:51 AMCargo shorts all the way. The best ones have velcro or zipper pockets so things don't go flying on the roller coasters. Best of all no bag check line. Make sure to wear a belt. With your pockets stuffed to the brim, you don't want them falling off :)
Published: June 4, 2010 at 10:56 PMhello everyone,
Published: June 5, 2010 at 6:15 PMYea I seen that to stuff falling out of pockets happend to me with a phone once on a upside down carnival ride.
Published: June 6, 2010 at 9:16 AMI usually bring tickets, sunscreen, water, change of clothes, and the good old camera! Call me immature, but I bring pens and an autograph book for the Disney Parks (in particular Walt Disney World) and Disney Cruise Line just in case I run into a novel character!
Published: June 7, 2010 at 5:18 PMI'm from Oregon, and tend to go to Orlando in late August (for free dining at WDW) and I need lots of water. Costco carries a great 2-liter hydration pack for about $20. I fill it up with ice and water in the am, and am good till midafternoon. It's a nice slim design, and holds wallet, cell, rain poncho and snacks. Usually also have moleskin for blisters and a travelsize sunscreen. Love this pack for theme parks, and actually have used it more for that than the hiking we originally bought them for.
Published: June 8, 2010 at 10:42 AMI am a pass holder at BGW, and anyone who visits BGW with a group who ride everything, (no one to wait and hold your stuff), then you will NEVER carry a back pack.
If there is anything we want to have in the park, not in the car, we put it in a locker up front. I carry a sample size sunblock, my camera, my cell phone in my pockets. My cash and credit card go in my pass holder. We do have the refillable mugs, and those we leave unlocked in a locker when we are riding rides.
BGW does not allow outside food. So the only place I carry around a back pack with snacks and everything I would ever need in a lifetime is Disney. They have bag holders on the rides and allow in outside food.
At Busch Gardens, if you are riding, you need to be hands free!
Published: June 8, 2010 at 2:06 PMAs for water, I always just go to any food counter (with a soda fountain) and ask for a cup of tap water. Most parks will give it to you. (and it's free!)
As for a change of clothes, I prefer to leave mine in the car and change at the end of the day

A New Mug Cozy
My mug cozy disappeared. It showed up again about a week later. I found it in with a load of laundry that I was folding. Buy accident, it had gone through the wash. It was now felted and no longer fit my favorite latte mug. I did some major tugging on it trying to reshape it. But it would only cover about half way up the mug. So I made a new one using some left over Cherry Tree Hill SuperSock Merino in the Northern Lights colorway. This is the same yarn I used for the Boing Scarf.
I used the Garter Mug Cozies pattern that I used for the first one and the lid was from Jaunty Mug Sweater and Tam (at Raverly) from Cabled Sheep (direct link to pattern). A worsted yarn had been used in both patterns. So I needed to make some adjustments for this yarn. After a some trial and error (lots of frogging), I finally was able to come up with this modified set. Instead of ties for the mug cozy, I opted for a tab and button closure.

At Russell, we know turkey hunters have very special needs. Our wily American Wild Turkey is a very special bird...so everything needs to be perfect.
The Russell Turkey Hunter boot is 16 inches high (heights from 8" to 16" available.) The boot features waterproof Boomer leather in chocolate brown. The entire boot and the gussett strip in front is lined with Turtle Skin for maximum protection. Boots should lace close enough together to insure non-reinforced gussett is not exposed.
To combat the turkey's keen eyesight, to make certain nothing shows and alerts a strutting Tom when your're sitting down with your back against your favorite turkey tree...we designed the Turkey Hunter with camouflage uppers and Aspen Gumlite soles. The boot's extra height totally conceals your calf and socks for complete camouflaging.
The Turkey Hunter is as waterproof as a leather boot can be. Two comfortable layers of waterproofed leather that surround your foot...plus a hand molded outer sole...provide three water barriers, making water penetration next to impossible. Black hooks in the ankle and upper leg for faster lacing.
Russell Turkey Hunters can be made with any soles, but we suggest the most popular on our web site. If hunting under hilly or side hill conditions, boots can be furnished with heel counters, to prevent boot walkover at heels.
A pair of handmade Russell Turkey Hunters is an investment you will never regret. They are true moccasins...in no time they will mold right to your foot for the most comfortable fit imaginable. Handmade on a custom order basis only. Average weight per pair...just 4 1/2 lbs.
Standard Height is 16"
Custom Made Only.
Product Reviews
Best investment I've made.

I purchased my turkey hunters almost 15 years ago. I just finished a four day turkey hunt in Alabama walking miles each day up and down hill. These boots make me happier each year I wear them. I expect them to last my life time, and I certain that they will. Thank you Russell's for true quality in an american made product.

The Herald investigates
Page Tools
Most parents probably believe that when they go to buy a product in a baby-ware store it has attained a mandatory safety standard. Common sense would suggest that potentially dangerous goods would not be allowed. But last year more than an estimated 2500 child injuries were linked to seemingly harmless items designed for children.
The Herald decided to find out why. To do this, we approached coroners in NSW, Victoria, Queensland and South Australia requesting information that had been released in court on deaths associated with infant products.
When necessary, we attended coroner's inquests.
For information on injuries we consulted Kidsafe, Westmead Children's Hospital, Sydney Children's Hospital, John Hunter Children's Hospital, the Queensland Injury Surveillance Unit and the Monash University Accident Research Centre.
We then cross-referenced that information with other data that is on the public record with federal and state government departments, courts, medical journals and press clippings.
Finally, we approached the parents of victims and requested their co-operation. They talked to us in the hope that other parents would be warned.
