May 3, 2006 EMI Holds New Talks for Rival By ANDREW ROSS SORKIN and JEFF LEEDS EMI, the world's third-largest music company, is in early talks to acquire a rival, the Warner Music Group, for more than $5 billion, people involved in the negotiations said yesterday. The chairman of EMI, Eric Nicoli, made the offer early this week to Warner Music's chairman, Edgar Bronfman Jr., these people said. Mr. Nicoli suggested that EMI was willing to pay about $30 a share. Mr. Bronfman pledged to take the offer back to Warner's board. Warner's shares closed yesterday at $27.29, up 29 cents. The negotiations are the latest in a series of on-and-off talks between the co…

EMI is preparing a renewed bid for Warner Music after its US-based rival rejected a $4.23bn (£2.35bn) cash-and-shares offer. Warner said yesterday that EMI's bid - its third attempt in six years to woo the US music group - was not in the best interests of its shareholders, but sources close to EMI described it as "a first offer" that they had expected to be dismissed. A duet between the industry's number three and four players has been long-anticipated, but the offer of $28.50 per Warner share, delivered on Monday by Eric Nicoli, EMI's chairman, proved a disappointment after several weeks of rumours that talks were back on. A deal would bring together Coldplay and …

For music buffs who need their Coldplay to-go, black could be the new white. In stores this week, Pioneer's sleek XM2Go portable XM Satellite Radio unit, the Inno, combines MP3 power with pocket-size satellite-radio technology, giving both extraterrestrial radio competitor Sirius and Apple's iPod reasons to sweat and hold emergency staff meetings. With its black and silver body, and optional midnight-colored headset with built-in antenna (sold separately), the Inno has looks that thrill. But even more exciting is what this little thing can do. First and foremost, it's an XM satellite radio unit. It's smaller, though, than previous XM2Go players; it's about the size of …

An Armenian passenger plane crashed in stormy weather Wednesday off Russia's Black Sea coast while readying to land, killing all 113 people on board — most of them Armenians. The Airbus A-320, which belonged to the Armenian airline Armavia, disappeared from radar screens about four miles from shore and crashed after making a turn toward the Adler airport near the southern Russian city of Sochi, emergency official Viktor Beltsov said. Officials said all 113 people aboard the plane, including six children, were killed. It was the worst air disaster in Armenia's recent history. The crash occurred early Wednesday during a flight from the Armenian capital of Yerevan …

08:39am 3rd May 2006 A football fan has taken out a £1 million insurance policy to cover himself against the trauma of seeing England knocked out of the early stages of World Cup. Paul Hucker has paid £100 plus £5 insurance tax for the World Cup All Risks Insurance which he has taken out through insurance broker britishinsurance.com. Mr Hucker, 34, said he had taken out the policy following years of disappointment when England failed to progress to the final stages of a competition, and the agony of watching them lose through penalty shoot outs. He said: "The pressure of this World Cup is not just on the players and the managers. I think a lot of supporters are u…

:stunned: England striker Wayne Rooney may be a doubt for the World Cup after suffering a foot injury for Manchester United in their loss at Chelsea on Saturday. Rooney was stretchered off at Stamford Bridge six weeks to the day before England's opening game of the World Cup against Paraguay on 10 June. The 20-year-old was left clutching his right foot in agony after a challenge by Paulo Ferreira. He broke the same foot against Portugal in the Euro 2004 quarter-final. Rooney is seen as being key to England's hopes at the World Cup in Germany and any concerns over his fitness would add to England manager Sven-Goran Eriksson's injury worries. England …

this movie is actually really good....there's been a lot of jokes made about it, which can be funny, but takes away from the quality of the film. Plus, Jake and Heath are HOT!!! But its a really good love story, and again, shows the unfair world that homosexuals have to deal with...people can be evil. Anyways!! just my opinion, but its a good movie, deserves to be in the running for best picture. And Heath for best actor!

here are some POSSIBLE names! :P i vote for Curbishley, Charlton became a very strong team with him ;)

A Chinese businessman has bought an old MiG-21f fighter jet for nearly $25,000 (£14,000) on eBay to decorate his office, a Chinese newspaper reports. Zhang Cheng bought the Soviet-made jet from a seller in the United States, where it is said to be in excellent condition though last flown in 1995. "I have the buying power and my company has an empty space where I can display the plane," he told the Beijing News. But it was not immediately clear if Mr Zhang needed a permit to import it. According to the new owner, the jet was retired by the Czech air force. "I don't know if this jet plane is a banned item," Mr Zhang said, adding that one Chinese company ha…

The US media industry is targeting universities in the latest wave of its campaign against illegal file-sharing. The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) have sent letters to 40 US universities. They want the colleges to filter traffic to stop what they describe as an "ever evolving problem".

Jose Mourinho has offered to rest his senior England trio from the last two games of the season to help Sven-Goran Eriksson. England boss Eriksson needs a boost after Wayne Rooney broke a bone in his foot which could rule him out of the World Cup finals. Chelsea have clinched the Premiership title and Mourinho says he is happy to protect John Terry, Frank Lampard and Joe Cole by leaving them out of the last two games of the season. "My relationship with Sven is very good. I said to him: 'If you want my players to finish after we've played Manchester United, they will finish then'," said Mourinho. "I gave him that choice. I'm ready to help England if they think it is…

On first glance the house at 610 North Buchanan Boulevard does not stand out. Like the other properties on the eastern edge of Duke University's campus, it has a prime location looking out over the oak and magnolia trees beneath which pass a constant stream of joggers. A little closer inspection suggests that this particular house has long been rented out to students rather than being occupied by loving owners: the paint is peeling and there is a general dishevelled air. It was at this house that a black 27-year-old stripper was allegedly gang-raped by members of the university's almost exclusively white lacrosse team at a late night party at which she and another …

Spreading the truth again.....(all of this stuff was uncovered a while ago....but it always needs to be brought to attention) The evidence that explosives were used in the 9/11 attack is so overwhelming that three full length films could have been made on the subject alone. In this 22 minute clip Alex reports from ground zero and talks to eyewitnesses who were there on the day who reported bombs. Alex also points out the relation of Building 7 to the twin towers and the impossibility that it could have collapsed from minimal fire damage. If this isn't obvious enough for people, I don't think anything will be. VIDEO WMV http://70.84.33.210/~infomedi/video/prev…

Woman burned by collapsed sunbed A woman suffered 65% burns when a faulty sunbed collapsed trapping her for more than two-and-a-half hours. Melanie Wraith had hired the sunbed from Supertan, run by 35-year-old Terrence Howells from his home in Rose Street, Northwood, Stoke-on-Trent. When she went to use it the canopy fell on her arm and knocked her unconscious for hours, magistrates heard. She came round when she vomited and was taken to hospital. Howells admitted two safety offences and could face jail. The court heard, that Ms Wraith, from Leek in Staffordshire, had set the timer for the sunbed for 12 minutes, when it came on giving her an electric sho…

The BBC fails to always give a "full and fair account" of the Israeli Palestinian conflict but is not deliberately biased, a report has said. The BBC governors asked an independent panel to scrutinise its output. Its report said the BBC was committed to being fair, accurate and impartial and UK viewers regarded it as unbiased. But coverage was not consistently full and fair and "in important respects, presents an incomplete and in that sense misleading picture", it found. The panel, chaired by British Board of Film Classification president Sir Quentin Thomas, examined only the corporation's UK domestic public service output. Sir Quentin said: "What the B…

‘Day Without Immigrants’ begins across U.S. Widespread actions, protest expected, but some will sit it out MSNBC News Services Updated: 11:20 a.m. ET May 1, 2006 HOMESTEAD, Fla. - Illegal immigrants and their allies gathered Monday for marches, prayers and demonstrations on a planned national day of economic protest, boycotting work, school and shopping to show their importance to the country. In one of the early demonstrations, about 1,200 people marched in the rural city of Homestead, home to one Florida’s largest Mexican immigrant populations and many major growers of fruits, vegetables and nursery plants. Jose Cruz, 23, from El Salvador, said he took of…

Hamas is trying to ease a crisis over the salaries of Palestinian government workers by paying them directly with funds donated by the Arab League. Arab funds sent to ease the crisis have so far not reached workers because of banks' fears that the US will punish them for doing business with Hamas. The US and EU have frozen donations to the Palestinians, demanding Hamas drops calls for the destruction of Israel. Many Palestinian government workers have not been paid since March. The Palestinian Authority employs some 165,000 people and the UN estimates a quarter of the Palestinian population relies on government salaries. The world body has warned that th…

Politicians are being urged to act against Japan which has banned poultry imports from Britain after an outbreak of bird flu at three Norfolk farms. Japan said it was acting to stop bird flu spreading to its domestic bird population, even though it is the relatively harmless H7 virus. Norfolk's Labour MEP Richard Howitt said the ban was illegal. He has urged European Trade Commissioner Peter Mandelson to take action against Japan over the ban. Mr Howitt's urgent parliamentary question tabled in Brussels on Tuesday called on Mr Mandelson to challenge the legality of the Japanese ban under international trade rules. He said he wanted Mr Mandelson to step i…
