Bjork (Aug 13 2003 04:47 GMT) - Music Reviews: Without any new material, Bjork is put in the unenviable position of competing with herself, specifically her 2001 Dorothy Chandler Pavilion concert; a stunning, once-in-a-lifetime event with the potential to overshadow anything that follows. But the Icelandic singer all but ignored that, kicking off the evening with "Unravel," a ballad that promises, "When you come back/we'll have to make new love." |

- (NewsHax wire) Northern Georgia-- The Dallas Cowboys’ coaching staff’s annual charity float trip down the Cahulawassee River was nearly ruined by a shoe-less, overall-wearing Jeremy Shockey, tight end for the NY Giants.Shockey, with a similarly dressed toothless companion, terrorized the group of four Cowboys’ coaches (Parcells, Defensive Coordinator Mike Zimmer, Linebackers Coach Gary Gibbs, and Offensive Coordinator Maurice Carthon) until Parcells shot Shockey’s partner (later identified as former Atlanta Braves pitcher John Rocker) with an arrow from his Crossbow. A startled, but later apologetic Shockey, ran off into the woods and returned to Giants training camp.“Some of the things he (Shockey) said to us were really inappropriate.” Zimmer recalled. |

- The workers have kicked out their bosses and are running the mad house, literally, in a bid to get better pay and more funding for public health in uruguay. Right now some hospital workers are paid less than $60 a month, which not enough to live on. They are demanding a $35 raise for every worker making less than $70 per month. It's not a long term occupation, as they are planning on letting the bosses back in, in a week. It was interesting, but it's late and tired so i won't talk much about it. |

You'd think the people would have had enough of silly love songs, but what's wrong with that? |
