In a recent Virgin webcast, Brian May stayed on for an hour and a half beyond his allotted time and bravely requested that the final tranche of the webcast be left unmoderated George Michael, too, overshot his slot. “I really enjoyed myself,” he said after the event.For the celeb and his or her managers, agents and record or film company, the web chat isn’t just a PR opportunity, it’s a safe house. Though the impression given at a celeb chat is of easy-going banter, questions are generally tightly controlled by online moderators. The celebrity gets one-to-one contact with fans whilst remaining at an impenetrable distance.For the celebrity, a web chat is a relatively risk-free venture compared with a live TV or radio interview.
There are unlikely to be nasty surprises or nutters and he or she gets to be associated with a hip new medium to boot. As Niall MacAnna points out: “George Michael can chat to thousands of his fans online whilst remaining in the privacy of his record company and without intrusive media.” In other words, in cyberspace no one can see you cringe.How long this will last is another matter. Right now, the celebweb chat remains relatively free of the usual constraints of celebrity media events, but it’s surely only a matter of time before agents demand syndication deals and serial fees for web chat transcripts. As more ISPs enter the fray, competition for A-list celebs will inevitably become fiercer.Meantime, the punters themselves remain circumspect. Though attendance in chat rooms for George Michael’s web chat may seem high at 9,000, the figures are still small compared with TV Disappointment travels fast in cyberspace. Confronted by all the pre-publicity, punter expectations are high and there is anecdotal evidence that they are not yet being met.
After the George Michael event, participants in one chat room at Michael’s record company seemed unimpressed. “Edge” from New York commented: “Given all the software stuff we had to load, it was shit, really. I mean, who knows if it was really George?”Michael’s managers remain positive about the medium “We’re very happy with the George Michael chat. It gives artists a greater lead in portraying their own image,” says Bob Stamegna of Aegean Business isn’t bad, either. “We have a marked increase in members of the official online George Michael fan club. Internet sales aren’t yet mind-bogglingly good but the event increased both sales and awareness,” he adds “Right now we have to be open minded.
The Internet is still very much an add-on.”For the time being, the celebweb chat event remains very much in the teething stage, still dependent on more traditional media for its sustenance. But in a couple of years from now, who knows? It may well be biting the hand that feeds it.. LIKE MANY of the unfortunates who live outside the delivery area for Tesco’s online supermarket, I still have to buy my groceries the old- fashioned way. The new EC legislation on labelling for all genetically modified foods has made my shopping trips a lot more entertaining – albeit longer – since it seems to take the best part of the evening to read the labels on my usual basket-load.
I’ve been an avid label reader since learning that food manufacturers have more than 40 ways of disguising MSG (a toxic substance that gives you headache but appears in hundreds of food products). In recognition of the semantic creativity of the food industry, a campaign was set up ( http:// www.truthinlabeling ) to provide consumers with clear interpretation of labelling mumbo-jumbo.
Food labels are a source of mystery to most food scientists, not to mention us consumers. However, things get worse with genetically engineered food labels, as they bring a new meaning to the word “obscure”. Since the notion of being a guinea pig in the largest food experiment in the history of humankind is mildly unappealing, many consumers are bringing their magnifying glasses to the supermarket in an attempt to figure out what is lurking in those tinned tomatoes.The modified food revolution is great for the farmers but not so good for consumers, who may find out that those new food additives can cause allergies, or auto-immune diseases and contain small but potentially harmful amounts of toxins.Unpredictable side effects are occurring in many genetically modified food products and, unless you studied the labels, you wouldn’t know that some alien DNA disguised as fillers appears in many burgers, margarine, vegetarian meat substitutes and even baby products ( http:// www.naturallaw. org.nz/genetics/g-danger.htm).It is estimated that some 60 per cent of food on supermarket shelves has been tinkered with directly or indirectly, and only a big magnifying glass and a PhD in genetic engineering will guide you through the confusion.For thousands of years we have relied on our senses for food selection. Our ancestors survived by perfecting their senses of smell, touch and taste, to be able to detect a poisonous berry, dodgy meat or lethal mushroom. Today, though, you could not tell the difference between two identical tomatoes, one genetically engineered with bacteria-derived kanamycin and the other from a wholesome, organic farm in Devon. They look the same but can have very different effects on your long-term health, or even your children’s health.That means a trip down the supermarket aisles and physical contact with food is simply an obsolete way of shopping for groceries in this new, information-rich age.
I don’t think anyone should hope that he helps the starting rotation. Imagine a deep strike offense to go with all those great defenses and running backs.If Penn State, and Pitt save Marino, has lacked one thing over thedecades, it’s consistent superior quarterbacking.As a position that’s priceless and with all the gold laying around their home states, one would think Penn State and Pitt would have made more big strikes instead of striking out so often.But it was hard to compete with the Golden Dome, especially during its glory days of yore.And it was hard to beat the Bear, on the field or in recruiting.But if one would like to hear old Joe snap and growl one more time, ask the old boy how come Bear Bryant coached more NFL Hall of FamePennsylvania quarterbacks then he did.Or perhaps not. I would say that Baltimore, Boston, and San Francisco are two exceptions to the rule, with others being capable of replacing low-end starters, but having no hope of replacing top end starters.That aside, I find this report to be conflicting with what another writer stated (one whom I ripped up) that the Jays had raised a white flag on the season prior to Spring Training. Jones is not on the Major League 40-man roster, so his promotion would necessitate a corresponding move to make room. The Nuggets have now lost eight straight playoff-elimination games.Odom and Gasol both scored 20 points and Ariza had 17 while Los Angeles hit all 24 of their free throws and was 9-for-16 from behind the arc.”We are really tough to beat because we’re using all our weapons, not focusing on Kobe or myself,” noted Gasol, who also had 12 rebounds and six assists “We have a really good team and need to use everybody. retail chain store sales index is ajoint publication between ICSC and Goldman Sachs Group Inc.

Ever since the Lions’ new coach declared the necessity of having a face for this franchise at the quarterback position, there’s been no doubt in my mind that the pick will be a quarterback.Many have argued that Detroit has so many holes that they should choose the best talent in the draft, and that that player would not be Stafford, but the fact of the matter is a team must have a guy they can rely on at quarterback for the team to be successful.It’s the most important position on a football team and should be valued that way.

As ‘Guiding Light’ ends its long-run,a look at some A-listers on the show
New incarnation of the ’90s drama features a familiar cast of characters.
Her endeavours to redraw the legal landscape for the building society movement appear, however, to be edging her towards that dubious accolade. Well-intentioned though these endeavours may be, they do unfortunately have the potential to hold back a pounds 20bn injection of feelgood factor that is due to hit the economy next year. That injection will come from the various handouts due to be passed from the four building societies that are headed down the conversion road to their members.
The problem is that said injection may not appear if Ms Knight’s plans to reform building society legislation are pursued with any vigour.The difficulty for the building societies shedding their mutual status and moving into the brave new world of the plc is not so much the contents of the new legislation but its timing. The Alliance & Leicester, Woolwich, Halifax and Northern Rock are all at various stages in seeking their members’ approval for conversion.
The very prospect of new legislation is enough to force a complete review of the mountains of paperwork that have to be vetted and approved to ensure they comply with the strict regulations governing the conversion process. The worry is that now Ms Knight has started the legislative ball rolling, albeit in a most tentative and unclear fashion, the converting societies will have to wait to see where it stops so that any changes can be incorporated in the documentation they send to members.The Alliance & Leicester is better placed than the others in that its documentation is already with members who are happily voting by post, no doubt in favour of receiving a handout Both the Woolwich and the Halifax are in a real pickle. Their documents are being prepared with a view to despatch early next year. They either press ahead regardless, ignore the prospect of new legislation and flout every rule in the regulatory book. Or they delay and incorporate in their documentation the new legislation that with the best will in the world would only hit the statute book just before an election.That delay would push back the physical receipt of the handouts and – more importantly – defer the feelgood moment when members receive confirmation that some booty is on the way. The anticipation of new wealth is as effective a fillip as the cash itself.Timing is the key issue but there are also questions about the substance of the mooted legislation.
In particular, there is concern about the proposal that would deprive newly converted building societies of their five year protection from takeover if they themselves acquired another financial institution. This does not protect the remaining mutual building societies from takeovers by other financial institutions, makes no allowance for an agreed deal and puts converting societies at a profound strategic disadvantage. The proposed legislation is therefore not only badly timed but also defective.There is a way out of this problem for Ms Knight She has set three criteria for passage of a Bill. There must be industry consensus, cross-parliamentary support and time in the legislative calendar. She may secure the last two but the first clearly does not exist. There is no industry consensus.On that basis, she can say with a clear conscience that she did her best to secure that consensus but that it was not forthcoming. She can blame the building societies for the Bill being dropped and at a stroke remove the risk that she might stand accused of losing an election.Power playTHE CHEERING mob which urged CalEnergy to make a hostile bid for Northern Electric has suddenly gone quiet.
Contested takeovers are great fun and extremely lucrative for advisers but they are not necessarily the most effective means of securing a particular end. CalEnergy, having watched Dominion Resources smoothly secure the backing of the East Midlands board for its bid last week, must now be wondering if it might have been better served by adopting a less confrontational stance.What Dominion and East Midlands demonstrated so eloquently is that there is indeed a price to be paid for agreement but it is one that can be channelled into the hands of shareholders rather than advisers. Credit here must go to both sets of managements, which had the foresight to recognise the importance of putting the shareholders’ interests above all others.Had Dominion followed CalEnergy’s template it would have brusquely made an initial 610p hostile offer and after much rhetoric upped it to 650p a share, a level that East Midlands would have struggled to oppose. In the process the combined takeover costs could conceivably have risen to pounds 40m.
That equates to 20p per East Midlands share.By seeking and securing agreement that 20p did not slip into the hands of advisers of both camps but went straight to East Midlands shareholders. The total cost of the bid is unchanged but investors are 20p a share better off.In return, Dominion not only secures its objective more efficiently but also buys an important ally in the battle to keep the bid out of the hands of the Monopolies and Mergers Commission. Word is that Dominion and East Midlands have already become extremely good friends. That is important, given that referral of one or both of the current power bids on the table remains a distinct possibility. There is little doubt that Dominion, aided and abetted by East Midlands, has a better chance of being given the all clear than CalEnergy, which is up against a very grumpy Northern board.It is hardly surprising then that CalEnergy is now extremely keen to talk again with Northern.

Specifically, they need a right to appeal against decisions made by councils, backed up by the right to go to court. All the reasons why it is alleged that the Bramleys would not make good parents seem to stem from too much love for the children – however inappropriately expressed it may have appeared to some – when the real scandal of abused and neglected children stems from too little.Let us hope that the right lessons are drawn from this happy middle to the story, if not its happy ending. Jeff and Jennifer Bramley – and possibly the two children – were the victims of a grave, if unintended, injustice in that the legal system did not allow them to go to court to contest Cambridgeshire’s decision.
So it would be quite wrong now to penalise the Bramleys for abducting Jade and Hannah. She clearly thought it would, but reluctantly had to concede that it was in the best interests of the children that their four months on the run should end
Her concern is misplaced. The real lesson is that it should not have required the Bramleys to run away, or a huge media hue and cry, to force Cambridgeshire to do what it should have done in the first place, namely let the Bramleys have their day in court.
What about the real bias of a court made up of 12 men and no women?. LIZ RAILTON, the head of Cambridgeshire social services, was asked whether her concession to the Bramleys would not encourage other parents to think they could get their way by going into hiding. There needs to be a distinction made between the idea of bias – everyone ought to have biases – and that of a conflict of interest.Indeed, it is not for Lord Hoffmann to consider his position, but for Lord Irvine, the Lord Chancellor, to consider his – not in the sense of resigning, but genuinely in the sense of using his position as a politician and head of the judiciary to reform our highest court.Instead of pointlessly telling the law lords that he did not want this sort of thing happening again, he should reconstitute them formally as a Supreme Court, with an open and fair system of appointment and clear rules about how they should operate, including a register of interests Never mind the alleged bias of Lords Hoffmann and Woolf. The problem arose only because in this case Amnesty was – unusually – allowed to give evidence to the House of Lords.The law lords have taken fright and gone too far if Lord Hoffmann was persuaded not to sit in the case of the Bristol doctor simply because it turns on allegations of bias – and much too far if Lord Woolf was persuaded not to sit in today’s Pinochet re-hearing simply because he has a reputation as a “liberal”. Nor can Lord Hoffmann be said to be prejudiced in favour of Amnesty International: last year he ignored its campaign to allow the execution of Trevor Fisher in the Bahamas, for whom the House of Lords was the final court of appeal. Are we to say that the only people qualified to serve are those discreet, boring or conservative enough never to have recorded a controversial opinion or affiliation in public? That would leave the law in the hands of the old elite who are members of gentlemen’s clubs, and whose prejudices are more easily dressed up as “non-political”.
The idea that Leonard Hoffmann should resign, therefore, is misplaced – and it should be noted that, despite reports of “pressure” on him to go, no one of any standing has in fact called for him to do so.
He made a mistake, but we should take care to understand the nature of the error. However, the mess in which they find themselves is rather bigger, wider and deeper than Lord Hoffmann’s failure to notice that he was a patron of one of the parties appearing before him. WITH ALL the British genius for making it up as we go along, we are approaching the situation where we have a Supreme Court in this country. Which has shone an array of arc lights on a small group of men who are more accustomed to working by candlelight, with rather unflattering results.
Today, the law lords reconvene to consider the case of Augusto Pinochet, wanted in Spain on charges of crimes against humanity – having made a mess of it the first time round.

Settle, said all the good advice in town, before it gets worse. By now, Katzenberg was of the opinion that $250m was a ball-park figure Day after day, the case went on, with top lawyers involved It turned ugly as Michael and Jeffrey took the stand. But the suit remained, and in November 1997 Disney conceded that Jeffrey was owed something.This spring and early summer, in a law office in Century City, the proceeding took place to ascertain the amount owed. He claimed his contract owed him 2 per cent of the profits generated by his projects at Disney. Eisner said, cry baby, you left the company and forfeited that. Within the year, Jeffrey quit to join Steven Spielberg and David Geffen as founders of DreamWorks.But Jeffrey also sued.
Whereupon Michael snubbed him – as if so much sense of equality was anathema. They made the studio hot again, and built up the stock rating, with Pretty Woman, Dead Poets Society, The Lion King and Beauty and the Beast. Eisner became associated with annual bonuses in three figures at the million-dollar level. Katzenberg, I’d guess, was paid in the region of $5m a year.In 1994, a crisis hit Disney. Eisner had just had heart surgery, while another executive at the studio, Frank Wells, technically his No 2, was killed in a plane crash. Katzenberg was the obvious new No 2, and heir apparent to Eisner. Eisner was CEO of all of Disney – theme parks, merchandising – while Katzenberg had direct responsibility for movies.They reinvigorated the animated feature They turned Disney towards adult material.
Money pictures.Then there were changes at Paramount, and Michael and Jeffrey quit as a team and went to Disney In the early 1980s, that studio was moribund In 10 years, they made a transformation. He and Jeffrey ran the studio, effectively, until 1984 and they were good years, thanks to pictures such as Grease, Saturday Night Fever, An Officer and a Gentleman, Heaven Can Wait, Ordinary People, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Flashdance and Beverly Hills Cop. Jeffrey had been there for a year as assistant to Barry Diller, chairman and CEO Eisner was hired as president and COO. Eisner was eight years older, and plainly the senior partner. No doubt there were conclaves in which Michael felt it necessary to explain to Jeffrey who had the power.

There have been other signs of growing protectionist pressures in Washington, amid concern about a sharp rise in the US trade deficit. Congress also toyed with the idea of erecting punitive barriers against Japan, Russia and Brazil’s steel exports, and there is still a threat of action over the EU’s ban on US hormone-grown beef.On Friday US trade repre-sentative Charlene Barshefsky and Japan’s trade minister, Kaoru Yosano, met to prepare for next week’s trade summit of 21 Asian and Pacific nations. The meeting led to “an exceptionally blunt set of exchanges” because of Japan’s apparent failure to pledge tariff cuts on a number of fish and wood products, said Ms Barshefsky.The banana issue, however, remains the most pressing in terms of world trade peace and it is causing concern at the WTO. “Either the Americans don’t have any faith in the WTO or they think they can get away with a heavier hit against Europe,” said a WTO source.The argument that the vagueness of the original WTO dispute panel decision, which while condemning the banana regime didn’t specify how the EU should amend it, is the reason for the current muddle holds some water. Now the company donates heavily to both the Republicans and the Democrats, with its chairman Carl Lindner notorious in Washington circles for his tight connections with politicians. For Europe, last week’s trade war threat by the US is even more alarming given the Democrats’ good performance in the congressional elections earlier this month.But the row over the EU banana regime isn’t the only target of US trade hawks’ wrath.
But Chiquita is one of the most active and effective corporate lobbyists in Washington. In the 1950s United Fruit, as Chiquita used to be called, helped orchestrate and pay for US intervention in Central America to ensure a friendly business environment. But that would take about two and a half years to complete.The US lost its temper and last week it threatened to double tariffs on selected European imports – ranging from party tricks to tweed jackets – worth a total of pounds 900m to pounds 100m of British exports to the US, unless the EU amends the regime again before it comes into force on 1 January.Now, according to Brussels sources, the EU will take WTO action against the US sanctions unless President Clinton replies to a letter from EU Commission President Jaques Santer by 25 November when the WTO disputes panel meets.The US seems to be taking things a bit far, especially given that it doesn’t even produce bananas and Hurricane Mitch has practically wiped out all banana production in Central America anyway. Last year the World Trade Organisation supported an American complaint that the regime discriminated against US banana distributors such as Chiquita. The EU recently agreed a proposal to amend the regime to comply with the WTO ruling, but the US argues that the new regime does not fulfil the obligations put on the EU.
The EU, for its part, with Britain one of the stongest supporters of Caribbean producers, said if the US didn’t like it then it could make another complaint to the WTO.
THE SEEMINGLY absurd trade spat between the US and the European Union that erupted last week over the EU’s banana regime could be masking more than just a problem with a yellow fruit. As the global economic downturn gathers force, the mood of trade politics in America is turning ominous. Washington and Europe have been fighting for years over the EU banana regime which guarantees access to EU markets for bananas from EU member states’ former colonies, mainly in the Caribbean, at the expense of cheaper, bigger Central American ones.

Griffin is along the same lines but not quite as effective with his counter strikes.What Griffin showed in his fight with Rampage was that he was willing to stay in to throw blows to land combos. He was wildly popular with the fans, and it cannot be denied that his Irish Catholic background did him no harm on that score.O’Neill was an impossible act to follow from a public relations point of view.That might explain Strachan’s initial difficulty in winning over the fans, but there is little doubt why he has failed to do it.The football produced by Celtic in the Strachan era interspersed as it has been with some outstanding performances and epic Champions League victories can best be described as functional.For people reared on a diet of passed-on tales of Patsy Gallacher, Jimmy McGrory, Charlie Tully, Jimmy Johnstone, Kenny Dalglish, Paul McStay and Henrik Larsson, entertainment is not an optional extra It is for them an integral part of the Celtic experience.
