Let’s get to the news… (Play News Music – Clip 03)

COPENHAGEN (Reuters) – A Danish hotel is pioneering a pedal-power electricity generation scheme it hopes will catch on in other countries.

The Crowne Plaza Copenhagen Towers, 15 minutes from the center of the Danish capital and five minutes from Scandinavia's main airport, is installing two exercise bicycles hooked up to generators.

Guests will be invited to jump on and start pedaling -- and if they produce enough electricity they will be given a free meal.

"Anyone producing 10 watt hours of electricity or more for the hotel will be given a locally produced complimentary meal encouraging guests to not only get fit but also reduce their carbon footprint and save electricity and money."

Hotel spokeswoman Frederikke Tommergaard said the free meal offer applied only to hotel guests, not random passers-by.

The value of the meal -- any one of the main courses on the hotel restaurant or lobby bar's menu – is valued at about 240 Danish crowns or $44 American.

The bikes will be up and running by April 19 and the plan is to test the idea for a year with a view to expanding it to more Crowne Plaza hotels.
Any Apple Store in the United States – Do you want an iPad so badly that you’re considering dropping 700 bucks on one even though you really didn’t know why you need it? Well, if you’re still looking for reasons to buy…here is another one. The iPad is proving to be a popular toy for American cats.
YouTube is rapidly filling with videos depicting the device being used as an expensive cat toy, with a search for "iPad cat" returning 385 results, including some with more than 20,000 views.
The videos include cats chasing virtual string and butterflies and even playing the "Magic Piano" application.
Many Cat irritating Apps are now available for the iPad, including a popular and controversial download called "Cat Annoy," which creates eight different sounds designed to annoy felines. So if you’re looking for a reason to buy, I have simple question for you…Do you hate cats? If so, the iPad may be for you!

PUNXSUTAWNEY, PA - A HEAVILY intoxicated Pennsylvania man tried to resuscitate at dead possum lying along a highway, the Philadelphia Inquirer reported Friday.
Donald Wolfe, 55, was spotted by a policeman attempting to breathe life back into the dead animal around 3pm local time Thursday in a remote area north of Pittsburgh.
State troopers arrested Wolfe along an isolated stretch of the highway and charged him with public drunkenness, the paper reported.
Trooper Jamie Levier said Wolfe was “extremely intoxicated” and “did have his mouth in the area of the animal’s mouth, I guess.”
Another witness observed Wolfe kneeling near the dead animal and gesturing as though he was conducting a seance.
Wolfe will face charges of public drunkeness before a district judge in Jefferson County at an unscheduled date.
Police listed “society” as the victim of the crime.
