N.Z. Tourism Looks to 'Samurai' for Boost
When the Tom Cruise movie "The Last Samurai" hits theaters Dec. 5, executives at Warner Bros. won't be the only ones hoping the historical epic captures the attention of moviegoers around the globe.
That's because half a world away from the hustle and bustle of Hollywood, a New Zealand-based inbound tour company is banking on the film to generate interest in some of the exotic locales the picture showcases.
Believing that patrons of the movie -- which is set in feudal Japan but was shot largely in the western New Zealand province of Taranaki -- will be eager to see the lush mountain backdrops in person, Maori Journeys Ltd. is launching a tour package that highlights the film's settings.
The tour, dubbed "A Mountain Like Fuji," is available in two-, five- or seven-day packages beginning in December and features a blend of mountain and marine activities, state-of-the-art museums, world-famous parks and gardens, authentic Maori experiences and visits to several of the "Last Samurai" filming locations.
The idea for the "Samurai"-themed tour package was developed by Maori Journeys director James Heremaia, a veteran travel consultant and tour leader who has led excursions to North America, Australia and New Zealand. Encouraged by the attention the Taranaki locations received during the filming of "Samurai," as well as the response of visiting Japanese and American media during the production, Heremaia decided that the high-profile film could serve as a solid launch pad for a new tour.
"This movie gives us a great marketing tool to reach both the Japanese and American markets," Heremaia says. "There's not much we can do leading up to the film's release, but come December, when audiences can actually see the film, there will be a lot of attention on this region."
Although Warners has put millions of dollars of marketing muscle into promoting "Samurai" -- and by default, what's good for the movie should be good for the tour -- the studio is not actually affiliated with the Maori Journeys tour package. Still, it certainly hasn't hurt Heremaia's cause to have Cruise espousing the film's amazing locations during interviews.
"It's absolutely stunning, breathtaking," Cruise said at one "Samurai" press conference during production. "How could anyone not want to be here?"
Heremaia is so confident that the bright lights of Hollywood will help draw tourists to the New Zealand countryside, he is developing several other tours centered on movie locations. They include one that visits three sites used in the hit indie drama "Whale Rider" on New Zealand's East Coast and another that features visits to the legendary "Lord of the Rings" Hobbit village near Matamata.

Join the virtual world and hitch a ride with Leo.
By Leo Laporte
Gertrude Stein once said of her childhood home, "There is no there there." But at There, there's plenty of there there. There is an imaginary world that's a lot more fun to visit than are plenty of real-world places I've been. On today's show I'll take you on a tour of There.
Six years in the making, There is the brainchild of Will Harvey, a Stanford computer science Ph.D. and game developer, and Jeffrey Ventrella, an expert on artificial life from MIT's Media Lab. The two raised $33 million from a who's who list of techies, including gaming legend Trip Hawkins, Kevin Ryan, and Bruce Leak. With the money, Harvey and Ventrella built an elaborate 3-D virtual world and invited people to come and play.
You are There
There is massively multiplayer, but it's not a game like "EverQuest." It's a free-form community. There has clubs, nightly activities, contests, and races, but the chief activity in There is chatting. The avatars are surprisingly lifelike, and there are many gestures and facial expressions you can use to get your point across.
The world of There has its own economy. When you arrive, you're given 10,000 There-bucks. Be careful how you spend them. You can buy a new wardrobe or hairstyle, toys such as paint guns, hover boards, and dune buggies, and even a pet, but everything is expensive. Even a T-shirt can cost hundreds of There-bucks.
You can earn more bucks by selling your There creations, or you can buy more with a credit card. The current exchange rate is around 1,700 There-bucks for each American greenback. And There has already signed on a number of real-world designers, including Nike and Levi's, to make There items.
There lends itself to community. I rented a clubhouse for 3,000 There-bucks a week and invited my friends to stop by to pet the dog, take a hot tub, or play a brisk round of paint-ball.

i remember when i first saw this i knew it was gonna be money bags...
like the nerd i am .. i saw on techtv..a interview with the guy who came up with this.. and his idea is that basically in the future people are gona communicate in a virtual reality world (like science fiction authors have been talkin about for years)... hes sayin that its gonna look something like what they have... but get this.. ther is ther.com dollars.. so when you are walkin around this virtual world, exploring theme parks, and playing games your spending there.com dollars, and the clothes you are wearing and where you live costs money..... it becomes a genius marketing strategy.. hes got nike and levis etc, sellin clothes and ford, and toyota selling cars.. and ppl can sell stuff too, like clothes they have designed, and.. its crazy but they have a there.com bank where you can deposit there.com dollars in exchange for american cash.. at the exchange rate of 1789/there.com to 1/american but the dude was sayin that one day its gonna be more stable with world economys !!..

There's Life in There

Have you ever lost touch with old friends who left town? Sure, you could call or email them - but that can feel like a poor substitute for actually being with them. What you need is some kind of virtual world where you can just hang out in one another's company.
That's the idea behind a new online service called There, which launches next week for Windows PCs ($50 a year at there.com). Think of it as a 3-D chat room: your onscreen characters talk as you type, with speech balloons coming out of their heads. They blink, breathe and nod when you type yes. Start throwing in actions like winking, yawning, gasping, even burping - and what you've got is conversation that looks like a cartoon yet feels uncannily real.
Plenty of activities are available - dune-buggy racing, dog training, jet packing - but don't confuse There with a video game. Nobody's keeping score. It's more like a massive playdate. Everything from the cute Toy Story - style graphics to the clothing stores where characters can dress up in the latest fashions (provided courtesy of Levi's and Nike) is designed to give you something to chat about.
It works. Tens of thousands signed up for prelaunch testing, even though There had space for only 2,000 at first. Will it keep working? That's for you and your friends to find out.
just reminding you all .. how i get down
Erikn0: yo that pic of you with the martini is awesome

Debtor Doing Robber's Sentence Earns Own Jail Time
RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil (Reuters) - A jobless Brazilian man who agreed to impersonate a convicted robber and serve his prison sentence to cover a $275 debt wound up doing time of his own for the ruse.
An investigator in Sao Paulo told Reuters on Friday that Denival Santos, an unemployed baker's assistant, spent three months in a prison cell this year posing as the robber, Rene Coelho Honorato, before authorities caught on.
Santos, 21, was recently released after serving an additional four months for impersonating Honorato, also 21, who remains at large.
"He was lucky to serve only a few months, because the criminal had been sentenced to nearly six years. Apparently, the bandit promised him a swift release and not very harsh conditions, which wasn't the case," the investigator said.
While Santos sat in prison, Honorato was stealing money bags from vehicles transporting cash, police said. An investigation led them to Santos, who had dyed hair and fake documents.
Santos told police he had crashed Honorato's motorcycle and owed him $275 for repairs.

Jessica Simpson Solves Age-Old Mystery: Chicken Of The Sea Is Tuna
As scientists continue the age-old debate of what came first, the chicken or the egg, Jessica Simpson has discovered the answer to a question as equally puzzling — at least for her. Is Chicken of the Sea chicken or tuna?
Simpson had husband Nick Lachey's assertion on the now notorious "Newlyweds" episode that it was in fact tuna verified Monday when she stopped by the company's San Diego headquarters.
"Back in 1914, when the company was known by another name, we were the first to can 'light' tuna," Chicken of the Sea senior vice president of marketing Don George told Simpson. "So consumers would know to expect a mild-flavored white fish — that tasted similar to chicken — the company marketed it under the name Chicken of the Sea. It was such a success that the company eventually adopted the product name."
Along with clearing up the issue for the singer, who eats the tuna in her new "With You" video, Chicken of the Sea presented her with a basket of tuna and trinkets, including an apron.
Simpson responded by declaring her allegiance to the product and backing up their reasoning for the name.
"I will be a consumer forever," she said, laughing. "I will be because normally I don't like fish, but it tastes so much like chicken."
George said Chicken of the Sea is interested in Simpson being a spokesperson for the product, but nothing is official yet.
The company scheduled the celebrity visit during a staff meeting to discuss a new, chunkier chunk tuna, which will be available next year.
Simpson's question about the content of Chicken of the Sea was one of several memorable comments captured on "Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica," such as when she suggested Buffalo wings are made of buffalo meat.
The singer has been criticized for her smarts, but has taken it in stride and has signed on for a second season .
"I love how people think her comments are so stupid, because she's such a bright girl," Ashlee Simpson, Jessica's sister and "Seventh Heaven" star, said in her defense. "If you were to follow anybody around, everybody makes stupid comments. Jessica doesn't care; she doesn't let stuff like that get to her. She's like, 'Cool, if you think I'm funny.' "

Eminem Beats Bully
In tossing out of court a defamation lawsuit against Eminem, the judge got jiggy wit it.
Macomb County Circuit Court Judge Deborah Servitto included a rap of her own to explain why she dismissed the suit filed by one of Marshall Mather III's former classmates.
In a footnote to the opinion issued Friday, Servitto added a 10-stanza rhyme that states in part, "It is therefore this Courts ultimate position, that Eminem is entitled to summary disposition."
(should justice sound like an American Idol audition?)
DeAngelo Bailey filed a $1 million lawsuit against the rapper in 2001 for damage to his reputation after Em trashed him as an bully in the track "Brain Damage" from his 1999 breakthrough album, The Slim Shady LP.
"I was harassed daily by this fat kid named DeAngelo Bailey/An eighth-grader who acted obnoxious, cause his father boxes/So every day he'd shove me into the lockers," Em rhymes on the track. "And he had me in the position to beat me into submission/He banged my head against the urinal until he broke my nose/Soaked my clothes in blood, grabbed me and choked my throat."
Arguing that Bailey was merely out to make a quick buck off the rapper, Eminem's attorney petitioned for a dismissal in July.
Servitto evidently agreed, saying, "The lyrics are stories no one would take as fact/They're an exaggeration of a childish act/Any reasonable person could clearly see/That the lyrics could only be hyperbole."
For their part, Bailey's attorneys have consistently denied that their client picked on the then young Em when the two attended fourth and sixth grade together at Dort Elementary School outside Detroit.
Instead, Bailey has accused the Grammy-winning rap superstar of ruining his chances to switch careers from sanitation worker to mega-selling musician.
After the rap-minded ruling was handed down Bailey's attorney, Byron Nolen, expressed his surprise and added, "I don't know how the court of appeals would look at something like that."

Graffiti star sneaks work into Tate
A painting smuggled into Tate Britain by graffiti artist Banksy went unnoticed until it crashed to the floor hours later.
Banksy, best known for creating the sleeve of Blur's current album, glued the painting to the wall on Wednesday after visiting the gallery in disguise.
The picture consisted of a rural scene with an image of police tape stencilled on to it.
It has now been placed in the London gallery's lost property section.
The painting was accompanied by a card which read "Banksy 1975. Crimewatch UK Has Ruined The Countryside For All Of Us. 2003. Oil On Canvas".
It added: "The artist has found an unsigned oil painting and then stencilled police incident tape over the top.
"He argues that ruining the work in this way reflects how our nation has been vandalised by an obsession with crime and paedophilia."
A statement from Tate Britain said that a man "had left a personal possession in one of the galleries".
Video
"Tate security discovered the item a short while later and it was removed. It is currently being held in lost property," it added.
The artist is now selling another version of the painting at London's Tom Tom gallery - together with a video of him hanging it on the wall of the Tate.
Banksy, who keeps his real identity a secret for fear of prosecution, has turned down four requests to do adverts for a footwear brand and his work is usually seen only on walls in cities across the world.
He painted the Queen as a chimpanzee during her Golden Jubilee and sprayed "Mind the crap" on the steps of the Tate Britain before the Turner Prize ceremony.
Earlier this year an exhibition in which he spray-painted grafitti on cows, sheep and pigs, was closed after the animals became "hot and distressed".

Black artists rule US Top Ten chart for first time
NEW YORK (AFP) - For the first time in the nearly half century history of the Billboard singles charts, all top 10 songs in the US this week are by black artists, reflecting hip hop's dominance of the popular music scene.
With the exception of the number one song, Beyonce's "Baby Boy" which features Sean Paul, the other nine songs are all by rappers.
"The charts reflect hip-hop's acceptance into all facets of mainstream culture," proclaimed the website allhiphop.com.
Billboard, the trade magazine for the music industry, compiles charts in many genres of music.
The Billboard Hot 100, which started in 1958, measures the popularity of songs from every pop music format and is compiled from a national sample of sales reports and radio playlists.
Silvio Pietrolongo, who manages the Billboard's chart, said Wednesday he was not aware of black acts having swept the top 10 before.
"We haven't gone through every single chart for the past 50 years, but being musical historians we can assume it didn't happen," Pietrolongo said.
"We looked back for at least the past 10 years and before that it was much more diversified than it is now," he added.
Since 1998, the Billboard chart has been weighted heavily toward data from radio rather than retail, indicating a song's popularity in terms of airplay rather than sales.
According to Pietrolongo, hip hop's assault on the charts in recent months has been spearheaded by the level of airplay being given to rap artists on the 40 largest mainstream US radio stations.
"The mainstream top 40 is playing those songs more often and playing them immediately, not waiting for another format, particularly the R and B format to start a record for them. Now, they jump on those songs right away," he said.
Rounding out the top three on this week's chart were "Shake Ya Tailfeather" by Nelly, P. Diddy, and Murphy Lee in second place, followed by "Get Low" by Lil Jon and The East Side Boyz featuring the Ying Yang Twins.
The other acts on the chart are Chingy, Pharrell featuring Jay-Z, YoungBloodZ featuring Lil Jon, 50 Cent, Fabolous Featuring Tamia/Ashanti, Ludacris featuring Shawnna, and Black Eyed Peas.

.::.. Dali's Disney Film ..::.
In 1946, Salvador Dali and Walt Disney planned a cartoon together. But the short subject Destino was left unfinished after Disney and its partner, RKO, decided it probably wouldn't make any money.
But as David D'Arcy reports, Walt Disney regretted the decision. And Disney's nephew Roy Disney, who now heads the company's animation division, decided to revive the project.
Destino is a six-minute film set to a Spanish song, devoid of dialogue and without a clear story line. It follows a dark-eyed ballerina on a journey among strange objects through a desert landscape in a dreamlike atmosphere.
A completed version will appear at festivals around the world before Oscar-nomination time, and Disney plans to release it next year on a DVD with a documentary that tells the whole story.

Student sued over CD piracy study
A US student is being sued for showing how to get around anti-piracy technology on a new music CD.
Princeton graduate John Halderman published a paper online showing how to defeat the copy-protection software by pressing a single computer key.
This has angered the company behind the software, SunnComm Technologies, which is now planning to sue him.
It is just one of the firms working on ways to make it harder to copy and trade music over the internet.
Press shift
Mr Halderman found that SunnComm's MediaMax CD-3 software could be bypassed by simply holding down the shift key on a Windows PC when a copy-protected CD was inserted into a disc drive.
This temporarily disables the autorun function on Windows, stopping a anti-piracy program from installing itself on the computer.
I don't think telling people to press the shift key is a violation of the DMCA
John Halderman, graduate student
The software was used on a CD, Anthony Hamilton's Comin' From Where I'm From, released last month
In a statement, SunnComm said Mr Halderman had violated criminal provisions of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, (DMCA), by revealing the secrets of the anti-piracy measures.
"SunnComm believes that by making erroneous assumptions in putting together his critical review of the MediaMax CD-3 technology, Halderman came to false conclusions concerning the robustness and efficacy of SunnComm's MediaMax technology," said the firm.
It said the company had lost more than $10 million of its market value since the report had appeared on the web.
But there are suggestions that the company may not pursue the matter.
The Daily Princeton campus newspaper has quoted SunnComm CEO Peter Jacobs as saying that a lawsuit would do little to reverse the damage done.
Digital piracy
Mr Halderman, who is studying for a doctorate in computer science, said SunnComm had not contacted him directly.
"I'm still not very worried about litigation under the DMCA, I don't think there's any case," he said.
"I don't think telling people to press the shift key is a violation of the DMCA."
Various firms are trying to find ways of protecting future album releases from piracy.
The music industry blames a sharp fall in CD sales on digital piracy through online file-sharing services.
But so far, most technologies developed to protect music against copying have fallen short.

D.C. Gun Battle Leaves One Man Dead
By DERRILL HOLLY
WASHINGTON (AP) - A gun battle erupted in the capital's bustling Mount Pleasant neighborhood Thursday, killing one man and wounding the driver of a bus caught in the crossfire.
Five suspects were arrested and two guns recovered after the shootings, which sent people running for cover.
``It looks like it's gang-related,'' said Metropolitan Police Chief Charles Ramsey. ``It has very strong gang overtones.''
Much of the ballistics evidence was collected just a few feet away from a church child-care center's playground.
The trouble began around 2:30 p.m. An off-duty police officer in a restaurant heard gunshots and saw a group of youths running.
``He called 911 and saw a (police) scout car coming down the street and flagged it down,'' Ramsey said. ``They heard more shots go off.''
The dead man was not immediately identified. It was unclear whether he was a target or a passer-by.
The unidentified Metrobus driver was hit in the shoulder by a bullet that came through the front windshield. His injuries were not life-threatening, said Metro Transit Police Chief Polly Hanson. Metro officials said it was the first time in the agency's 30-year history that one of its bus drivers had been shot.
A third person was grazed by either a bullet or flying glass, but not seriously hurt.
Gang violence has also been a growing problem in the northwest Washington neighborhood. Four people were killed during the summer in incidents police have blamed on rivalries between Latino gangs.

+ Lost in Translation +
http://www.pixelsurgeon.com/reviews/review.php?id=268
You can almost imagine George W. Bush and Bill Murray as the same person. Both the president and the actor can boast of a wild past, Bush in his role as boastful West Texas drunk and Murray via the many over-the-top characters he's played on screen. Both the president and the actor share a fondness for the All-American sport of baseball, Bush as owner of the Texas Rangers and Murray as co-owner of a minor league team in Minnesota. And, physically, both the president and the actor tend to smirk as a way to reveal their feelings.
For Bush, the smirk reeks of entitlement and condescension. When he flashes this facial expression at a press conference or a photo opportunity, its as if to boast "I'm not quite sure how I got where I am now with my average background, but I'm sure happy about it." The message is similar but entirely different when Murray effects this pose. Sure, he's also wondering how he arrived at this point in life. But the underlying emotion he puts forth is one of bewilderment boarding on sadness.
In a sense, "Lost in Translation" is about fleshing out all of the meaning behind this omnipresent expression. Murray is Bob Harris, a washed-up action hero who finds himself in Tokyo to collect an easy paycheck acting in a commercial for a Japanese scotch company. Quickly, he realizes that he doesn't understand the city. He doesn't understand the culture. He doesn't understand what the ad director wants him to do. And, increasingly, he doesn't seem to understand himself.
Medicating his many sorrows at the hotel bar, Bob meets Charlotte (Scarlett Johansson), a fellow American who seems equally confused about her standing. At least 25 years his junior, she seems to have lost the connection with her husband, a photographer more interested in a ditsy Hollywood blonde. Moreover, Charlotte is completely unsure what she wants to do with her life and the Philosophy Degree she recently earned hasn't provided any easy solutions for this quest.
Bob and Charlotte form an instant friendship as they try to find meaning by cavorting through late-night parties, chic Japanese strip clubs, hyper-neon pinball allies, and tacky karaoke bars. At one point, she asks him if the confusion ever goes away and he replies stoically, "The more you know about who you are and what you want, the less you let things upset you." Later, he arrives at an even less optimistic conclusion: "It gets a whole lot more complicated when you have kids."
The sexual tension between these two never rises to the point that they act upon their muted desires. Bob is married as well and he must answer to the frequent calls of his wife in Los Angeles, who wants his help in the inane task of choosing colors to refinish the living room furniture. These calls reinforce the unmistakable realization for Bob that he's has lost all sense of meaning. He then retreats to that familiar smirk that is three parts melancholy and one part resigned amusement.
"Lost in Translation" sets modest goals for itself and thereby easily achieves them. Ultimately, the film's biggest accomplishment is moving Murray from actor to cultural icon. His how-the-hell-did-I-get-here look seems increasingly characteristic of a nation that has slipped off track. The economy is total crap and the foreign policy is hopeless; these days, we all seem confused about where we are going and how we'll get there. But didn't the answers seem so easy not so long ago? Or maybe we were always lost and we just didn't know it.

Schwarzenegger takes California
By Alan Elsner, National Correspondent
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Arnold Schwarzenegger, the people's choice to be governor of California, is preparing to move swiftly to shape his administration after fears of a chaotic transition of power faded.
Campaign sources said on Wednesday Schwarzenegger would appear later in the day and announce the head of his transition team. He was expected to name an experienced Republican political veteran to the post.
Ousted Governor Gray Davis, recalled by voters in a vote virtually unprecedented in U.S. political history, ordered Democratic Party loyalists to cooperate with the incoming Republican administration to ensure a smooth hand-over.
But it remained unclear exactly when the Austrian-born former bodybuilder turned Hollywood idol would formally take office. First the state election board must certify the election, a process that could take several weeks. Most did not expect Schwarzenegger to take the oath of office in Sacramento until next month.
Schwarzenegger, who never spent a day in political office and hardly ever voted, easily won the governorship of the state in a recall election on Tuesday that saw voters boil over in anger, flock to the poll in huge numbers and throw out Davis less than 10 months into his second term.
"I want to be the governor for the people. I want to represent everybody," he said in a victory speech.
"We have tough choices ahead," he told a crowd of wildly enthusiastic supporters. "Shall we rebuild our state together or shall we fight among ourselves? ... For the people to win, politics as usual must lose. I will reach out to Republicans and Democrats and independents -- to those who supported the recall and those who did not."
Traditional Democratic voters abandoned Davis en masse and were not enthused by his Lt. Gov. Cruz Bustamante, either. Schwarzenegger won among voters in all age groups on his way to a smashing popular mandate. He even outpolled his rivals among labour union households.
VOTERS BRUSH ASIDE SEXUAL ALLEGATIONS
Voters brushed aside allegations that surfaced in the final days of the campaign that Schwarzenegger had sexually harassed 16 women.
With 99 percent of precincts reporting, 54.9 percent of voters said "yes" to the recall while 45.1 percent said no." Schwarzenegger led his nearest rival, Bustamante, by 48.2 percent to 32.1 percent in the replacement section of the ballot.
The White House said President George W. Bush had "great trust" in California voters and looked forward to working with Schwarzenegger. The vote means that the nation's most populous state that also bills itself as the world's fifth largest economy, will be ruled by a Republican governor heading into a presidential election year -- a possible boost for Bush.
Davis, who had been stiff and defensive throughout the campaign, seemed almost relieved it was over. "I am calling on everyone in this state to put the chaos and division behind us and do what is right for this great state of California," he said, pledging to work for an orderly transfer of power to his successor. "He will have the full cooperation of my administration in the transition."
But anger at the recall remained high among his aides and senior cabinet officials, all of whom will now be out of their jobs. They and some 3,000 political appointees believe they were serving a duly elected governor who did not deserve to be tossed out of office prematurely.
FORMIDABLE CHALLENGE
Formidable problems await the incoming governor. The state faces a budget gap of about $10 billion next year and Schwarzenegger must shape a budget by January to present to a state legislature that is still controlled by Democrats. That budget is supposed to go to the printers by mid-December.
If Schwarzenegger fulfils his campaign pledge to repeal an unpopular threefold increase in the vehicle licensing tax, the deficit will grow by an additional $4 billion.
California Rep. David Dreier, a Schwarzenegger ally, said the incoming governor would begin by examining every budget item to see where waste could be eliminated.
"We're going to see this audit conducted, which he said that he wants to do. And then, they'll make a determination as to exactly when he is going to be able to proceed with the goal of meeting that budget by January," he told NBC's Today Show.
Schwarzenegger surrounded himself with experienced Republican operatives, including many veterans who served former Gov. Pete Wilson -- the man who led the state from 1992 to 1998. Knowing that time was of the essence, they began planning for an economic recovery plan and a plan of action on education while the campaign was in full swing. But it will take several weeks just to get a new cabinet confirmed in office.
While some Democrats are aching for revenge and have even threatened to try to recall the new governor as soon as possible, cooler heads may prevail. With the size of Schwarzenegger's victory, they recognised that he has a popular mandate to try to govern.
Democrat Leon Panetta, one-time chief of staff to President Bill Clinton, said, "It's time to move on .... The voters have spoken here, I think we ought to give the new governor a chance to be able to govern the state."

Man Attacks Disabled Woman Over Bus Seat
BERLIN (Reuters) - A German retiree became so enraged on finding the bus seat he wanted taken that he battered its disabled occupant until she bled, police said on Tuesday.
Police in the western city of Bochum said the bad-tempered 76-year-old sat down on the 33-year-old woman after boarding and pointed out she was in the seat reserved for the disabled.
When the woman said she also had a right to sit there, the man began bludgeoning the woman with his walking stick, striking her on an ear which had recently undergone surgery. The driver called police who detained the old man.
Police said the woman's ear might now require another operation and that the man would probably face assault charges.
"The man said he slipped," said a spokesman for police in Bochum. "But the bus was full of witnesses who say otherwise."

Hail! Hail! Jack Black: He's the clown king of rock & roll. Black is ideally cast as Dewey Finn, a metalhead who's just been fired by his no-talent band. Since he needs rent money, Dewey scams a job teaching nerdy fifth-graders at a prep school run by a tight-assed principal (the ever-hilarious Joan Cusack). When the kids get tired of all-day recess, Dewey teaches them rock & roll, Led Zep-style.
This is pretty tame stuff for a wild man like Black, not to mention screenwriter Mike White (Chuck and Buck, The Good Girl) and indie director Richard Linklater (Dazed and Confused, Waking Life) -- kid-friendly crowd pleasers are hardly their meat. But even education can't kill the demon of fun in Black. Enroll in his class and you won't stop laughing.

Get videogames delivered to your door and play them for as long as you want for free. Replace "for free" with "for $264 a year" and you've got GameFly.
Netflix revolutionized movie rentals by eliminating the late fee and delivering them to your door. Not to be confused with Netflix, GameFly does pretty much the same thing for videogames. You can rent games that will play on the PlayStation 2, GameCube, Game Boy Advance, and Xbox consoles, but there are no PC game rentals available.

Man Dies After Wife Crushes Testicles
An enraged Ethiopian mother of five will be tried for the murder of her husband who died after she crushed his testicles in a fight, police told the state-run Ethiopian News Agency.
Police said on Friday the man was so embarrassed after the incident that he declined to seek treatment for the injury, and died days later.
"Following a disagreement over the husband's spending habits, his wife refused to give him his dinner and also decided to sleep alone," police in the western region of Wellega said.
"The husband was so angered by this affront by his wife that he tried to beat her. In the melee that followed, the wife grabbed and twisted his testicles causing serious damage."
Police said the unnamed woman, a resident of Wayu-Tuka district in Wellega, had had several arguments with her husband about the amount of money he spent on booze.

Tiger Mauls Magician Roy Horn in Las Vegas Show
A white tiger mauled famed Las Vegas illusionist Roy Horn during a performance by the "Siegfried and Roy" duo on Friday night, seriously injuring the magician on his 59th birthday.
Witnesses at the scene said the tiger, named Montecore, grabbed Horn's forearm. The magician hit him with his microphone and the tiger then lunged and bit him on the left side of the neck, causing profuse blood loss.
Horn was rushed to the University Medical Center, which said later he was out of surgery but still in critical condition.
The show has been canceled until further notice and the tiger, which was performing for the first time, is being quarantined at the hotel.
"The last place Roy would place blame would be with the animal," said Bernie Yuman, manager for "Siegfried and Roy."
White tigers and lions are a trademark of the German-born illusionists, who have been putting on one of the most famous shows in Las Vegas for 30 years.
Horn's partner in the show is Siegfried Fischbacher, 64.

DC Drug Market Thrives By Methadone Clinics
Serge F. Kovaleski, Washington Post Staff Writer
Source: Washington Post
In a sullen ritual played out each day, more than 1,000 drug addicts descend on a Northeast Washington neighborhood off New York Avenue to receive treatment at the three public methadone programs in the area.
They are a primed clientele for the drug dealers who operate out of a nearby McDonald's parking lot. Brazenly hustling in broad daylight, the dealers sell a jumble of pharmaceuticals to an unrelenting stream of buyers -- an operation that D.C. police describe as the largest open-air pill market in the region.
Many addicts in the midst of treatment say that the availability of so many drugs, also including heroin and crack, presents daily temptations when they are grappling with the physical and psychological complexities of trying to overcome substance abuse.
The McDonald's parking lot abuts the District government's largest methadone clinic and is within three blocks of the two other treatment centers.
On a recent morning, a dealer who goes by the name King Bad collected a swift $2,500 in sales, mostly from hard-core drug users eager for painkillers and sedatives such as OxyContin, Xanax and Percoset, as well as antibiotics for infected needle lesions and blood pressure medication to ease withdrawal symptoms.
"This is the place for pills, any pills you want, man," boasted King Bad, 52, a longtime heroin addict who unsuccessfully tried methadone rehabilitation at one of the nearby facilities.
"More than half my customers are in and out of those clinics. This is a way for me to survive," said the dealer, who declined to give his real name out of fear the police would track him down.
Dubbed "McPharmacy" by police narcotics investigators, the prescription-drug bazaar on New York Avenue and First Street NE is a formidable obstacle for those seeking help at the methadone clinics, D.C. health officials say.
"I get a complaint at least once a day from patients who say they have to walk through that maze of drug dealers," said Tyrone V. Patterson, manager of the Model Treatment Program, which has almost 500 patients a day and is adjacent to the McDonald's. Patterson has a clear view of the illicit activity: The large windows in his office overlook the parking lot.
Also affected are a second D.C. Department of Health clinic, part of the agency's $6.2 million methadone program, and a $725,000 methadone treatment service run by the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs.
The clinics, with the assistance of police and private security guards, have managed to keep drug activity away from the entrances of their buildings, but the market continues to thrive and has spilled over onto surrounding streets.
"It's like walking through a minefield. At one time, I couldn't get in or out without being accosted or succumbing to the drug trade," lamented Philip, 46, a recovering heroin addict who did not want to give his last name. "If you can make it through this test, you can probably make it through most tests."
The dealers said they are merely exploiting a market that guarantees robust returns and enables many of them to support their own drug habits.
Drug dealers have been a presence for years at the two-story McDonald's at 75 New York Ave. NE, but police have recently noticed greater activity at the site, coinciding with a surge in heroin use in the city. And Cmdr. Alan J. Dreher of the 1st Police District said his office has been receiving more community complaints about the open-air market, which also caters to well-heeled customers from the District, Maryland and Virginia.
John Brennan, a sergeant with the D.C. police major narcotics branch, said that a citywide strike force has made more than 200 arrests at the drug market in the past two years but that the impact has been minimal. Brennan said that new dealers emerge almost as quickly as the police can make arrests and that many of those apprehended and charged receive sentences that do not involve jail time.
Ron Keiper, a detective in the narcotics branch, said many of the addicts showing up at the methadone clinics are not there out of choice but because of court orders, another factor that contributes to the area around the McDonald's being "a haven of bad guys."
William Edwards, who owns the McDonald's, declined to be interviewed. In two written statements, he said he has been working vigilantly with police and the community to control the drug dealing.
"At my own expense, there is a constant presence of uniformed off-duty Metropolitan Police officers in my store. In fact, 21 off-duty police officers work on the premises on a weekly basis," one of the statements said.
On a weekday morning late last month, no police officer was visible at the restaurant while dealers in the parking lot openly handled large wads of cash and dispensed copious amounts of pharmaceuticals. "They [McDonald's] don't mess with us because we spend money with them," King Bad said.
That morning, a man who identified himself only as Rodney, 39, illustrated another dimension to the drug dealing at the McDonald's: Not only do some addicts in treatment continue to buy drugs there, they also sell. Soon after receiving his regular dose of liquid methadone at the Model Treatment Program on First Street NE, Rodney made his way to the parking lot to hawk OxyContin.
"You looking for Oxy? I got it here, right here," he said to a passerby who declined his offer of an 80-milligram pill for $40 or a 20-milligram tablet for $20.
Standing by a trash bin a few steps away, a gaunt woman waved a $20 bill at another dealer who obliged by furtively giving her Catapres, a prescription drug used for high blood pressure.
Capitalizing on their New York Avenue locale near Union Station, the dealers also cater to more upscale customers from across the metropolitan area. At one point last week, five cars, including a Mercedes, a BMW and a Pathfinder sport-utility vehicle, idled in the McDonald's lot as the drivers gave their orders to several attending dealers.
"I need some more Percoset," the driver of the BMW, which bore Maryland tags, told a dealer before slipping $60 through the window and motoring away with a dozen pills. Within seconds of that transaction, the driver of the SUV stepped out of his vehicle, which displayed Virginia tags, and handed the dealer $40 for 20 Xanax.
Soon after, a man behind the wheel of a rickety Honda pulled up alongside King Bad and announced he was selling methadone pills for the "wholesale price" of $5 apiece. King Bad quickly accepted the deal, snapping up a dozen or so pills, which he planned to sell for the market price of $10 per tablet.
Patterson said his clinic "is supposed to be a symbol of help and hope and not a symbol of open drug-dealing." But he also noted that he has used his second-floor office view of the McDonald's parking lot to stress a lesson to recovering addicts: What they see happening in the lot is something they must reject outright if they are to succeed in their treatment.
The clinic has moved up its schedule by an hour, giving out methadone from 6 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., to reduce the concentration of patients who come to the facility before going to work. The three methadone programs also offer bus service to and from their facilities.
James T. Speight Jr., director of the second D.C. Health Department clinic, the UPO Comprehensive Treatment Center, said his facility strongly urges the 380 methadone patients it sees each day not to linger in the neighborhood after treatment.
"We view the pushers as predators because the individuals we work with are sick and vulnerable people who are being preyed on," Speight said.
Debbie Jackson, who runs the Veteran Affairs Community Clinic -- which treats about 180 patients daily in its methadone program -- said the drug dealers are ruthlessly trying to cash in on the fact that recovering addicts are susceptible to relapses. "You are not going to sell umbrellas in the desert," Jackson said.
Narcotics investigators said the dealers are getting their pharmaceuticals largely through people who have illegally obtained prescription pads, often through connections at hospitals, clinics or doctor's offices. They sometimes make huge numbers of photocopies to last them long periods. Others sell drugs that have been prescribed to them legitimately by doctors, or they find a doctor who will knowingly write a fraudulent prescription.
Some of the individuals involved in illicit pill distribution have also been found to have prescription cards from several stores so they can get many prescriptions filled without drawing suspicion at any one pharmacy.
Some dealers also buy people's Medicaid prescription cards for up to $100 apiece, allowing the dealers to fill prescriptions at little or no cost.
Law enforcement authorities said that compared with the dozens of other open-air drug markets across the District, the one at the McDonald's generally draws an older crowd of buyers and sellers and has not experienced the violence associated with turf wars in the crack cocaine and marijuana trades.
Brennan said that although there have been isolated situations in which doctors have been busted for writing illegal prescriptions for drugs that are then sold on the street, winning a case is a formidable undertaking. "One of the hardest things to do is to get the doctors," he said. "They are generally intelligent people who know how to cover their tracks and hire the best lawyers."
Without providing details, Dreher said police officers will be more visible around the McDonald's as part of a two-pronged approach aimed at reining in the dealing. "Arresting your way out of the problem is one thing, but you need some decent outreach from social services, and we are looking at getting that going," he said.
