When U2 was inducted to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Bono made a pointed statement to the executives in the room, saying, "The way things are now, there never would have been a U2." He meant that new bands have no room to develop, and are often dropped if the first album doesn't do well. On the other side of that coin, huge names in the music world (Madonna, Paul McCartney) are leaving the major labels in droves, opting to start their own labels or jumping to smaller labels that seem better able to adapt to their artistic visions.

In what can only be described as a coup in social experimentation, Radiohead left its label behind and stunned the music industry when they announced that their new independently released album, In Rainbows, would only be available via download, and consumers could choose for themselves what to pay for it.

Two roads, one story: Chaos

He said the traffic police was ready to work out a solution with the college authorities. On its part, the traffic police can only focus on regulating the traffic inflow and every effort is being made in this regard, he added.

Shopkeepers in the area suggest that the college should use its back gate during peak hours to make sure that commuters taking the main road are not put to unnecessary inconvenience. The proposal to make the road one way also fizzled out because students of the college were against it.

The rickshaws can be parked at a relatively open space and the students should be asked to walk some distance, said one of the shopkeepers. Principal Neelam Kamra, however, declined to comment saying she was busy in meetings.

Elaborate plans, however, are afoot to control traffic situation, says the SSP.

The Shrink's Progress

ORINDA, Calif. -- Debbie, a 17-year-old now down to 86 pounds and ever closer to her secret goal of 81 pounds, slowly awoke in her bed on a hospital intensive care unit. She was so groggy from her drug overdose that the only thing she noticed was the painful burning sensation in her nose.

She then discovered that she couldn't move her hands to rub the unpleasant sensation away. Debbie had survived her suicide attempt and finally figured out that padded leather restraints secured her wrists and ankles to the sides of the bed. The burning sensation came from a tube that had been inserted through her nose down into her stomach.

The tube had been used initially to pump out whatever pill fragments in Debbie's stomach had not been absorbed before she reached the hospital. After monitoring her for awhile the medical doctor decided that because her nutritional condition was so precarious, the nasogastric tube would be used for feeding Debbie's malnourished body.

FOREVER JULIET

I feel so sorry for people like Britney Spears. She's going through hell right now," Hussey said. "She's really just a young girl who has worked her whole short life. Performers are the neediest people in the world. Unless you've been in that goldfish bowl - nobody can judge unless they've worn those shoes."

Whiting worked as an actor for six years, and today he's in private business. Hussey, who will turn 57 in April, has worked consistently during the past 40 years, in projects of varying quality.

Egypt moves to close Gaza border

Last month tens of thousands of Gazans overran the border into Egypt, flooding stores to purchase goods that were in short supply as a result of an Israeli blockade. Since then, the flow of Palestinians into Egypt has dropped, and Egyptian and Hamas security forces began sealing parts of the Gaza-Egypt border last week.

The border is supposed to be jointly maintained by Egypt and the Palestinian Authority under the oversight of the European Union monitors but was closed after Hamas took over Gaza and split with the Palestinian Authority leadership last year.
