DAVID Cameron was extolling the virtues of working longer before retirement, pay freezes, occupational pension cuts and telling us we were in this together.

However, his words failed to explain why ordinary working men and women, pensioners and the sick and disabled should pick up the bill for the greedy bankers who had so much to do with the near collapse of the economy.

Not a word either about how Cameron would curb the energy companies and their excessive Yves Saint Laurent Shoes profits, the legacy of social decline and division which the last Tory government left us.

If we are about anything it must be to fight for decency, respect and social justice in our society.

TRADITIONAL May Day celebrations, such as Morris dancing, prancing around a Maypole and covering men in leaves, could make a comeback in Notts.

The county council is inviting people to revive centuries-old customs and traditions for this year's May Day celebrations.

The Bank Holiday weekend marks the start of Robin Hood Month in the city and county - a series of events to celebrate links to the legendary outlaw.

Coun John Cottee, cabinet member for culture and community for Notts County Council, said: "May Day traditions and the legend of Robin Hood are at the heart of the county's heritage and this May will be a great opportunity to celebrate both.

"Not only will this be great fun but it will teach a new generation old customs and traditions that could otherwise be forgotten and lost forever."

The county council has written to district and parish councils and every school in Notts asking them to get involved.

Activities could include May Day parades, Maypole dancing, May Queen or King competitions, basket making, Morris dancing or folk music.

A May Day parade, organised by the council, from Edwinstowe to the Major Oak in Sherwood Forest, will include a Jack in the Green.

In the 16th century, the Jack would have taken part in the parade covered from head to toe by a frame of leaves.

Jacks are believed to be linked to the Green Man depicted in medieval church carvings - a symbol of the spirit of nature. The Green Man has also been linked to the Robin Hood legend.

Among the groups helping with the celebrations will be the Foresters Morris Men.

The group, who have Robin Hood as their logo, dance around the outlaw's statue in Castle Road at dawn every May 1. Eric Foxley, bagman for the group, said people enjoyed seeing traditions live on.

Mr Foxley, 72, from Dunkirk, said: "We do get the odd comment from the youth of the day but mostly we get a very good response. People like to see what we are doing."

The former maths professor at the University of Nottingham said Morris dancing could have been an ancient fertility rite Fake Ulysse Nardin to encourage the growth of crops.

"It's the English traditional start of spring. Some groups dance a bit later in the day but we like to do it as the day breaks.

Robin Hood Month has been launched to tie in with the release of Ridley Scott's new film about the outlaw, starring Russell Crowe, on May 14.

Community groups wanting to revive old traditions could qualify for cash help under the council's local improvement scheme.

Coun Cottee added: "The May Day celebration is a marvellous way for everyone to join the fun."

Longstanding tradition goes back hundreds of years THE Maypole in Wellow, near New Ollerton, is one of only a handful of permanent Maypoles in the country.

Its used for dancing and other festivities on the May Bank Holiday.

Its existence can be traced as far back as 1856 but in 1860 it was replaced after being drunkenly sawn down.

At halftime of Saturday's Old Dominion-Virginia Commonwealth men's basketball game, Wendy Larry's image loomed over the crowd, a friendly face making an earnest request.

From the video screen at the Ted Constant Convocation Center, she invited one and all to attend the first- and second-round games of the NCAA women's tournament coming to ODU on March 21 and 23.

Get your tickets, please. That was the gist of her pitch. Support women's basketball. Make the event a success.

Also, in so many words, don't allow the women's tournament to be disrespected. Help turn it into a special occasion, whether or not ODU is playing at home.

It's too early to guess about the Lady Monarchs' participation in the four-team sub-regional.

"The fear of not knowing if your own team is going to be in it," senior associate athletics director Debbie White said, is what helps keep the promotional juices flowing.

There's nothing wrong with a little salesmanship; Lord knows the women's game could use it. But if there's concern the NCAA tournament - the jewel in the crown - can't attract decent-sized crowds just by throwing open the doors, what's that say about the sport's position in an ever more-crowded marketplace?

"Not living and dying with who is being assigned," said White, would be the healthiest approach, but it's hard for ODU officials not to worry.

"We'd like to come close to filling it up," she said, noting that in five previous NCAA tournaments at the Constant Center, they'd done just that - come close.

In four of those , ODU was part of the field.

Because it's women's basketball, ticket pricing is market sensitive. A three-game package goes for a relatively modest $25.

Imagine what that ticket would be worth if UConn came to town.

Can't happen? Maybe not. Then again, the closest NCAA venues to Storrs, Conn., are Pittsburgh and Norfolk.

Wherever it plays, this is UConn's tournament. It's being called the UConn Invitational, and in case you're wondering, that's not meant as a compliment to women's basketball.

By steamrolling even the best of the rest by double digits - by closing in on the program's own record of 70 consecutive victories, the longest winning streak in women's Division I basketball - Geno Auriemma's top-ranked juggernaut is making a mockery of the alleged depth of women's hoops.

The stronger UConn is, the weaker everybody else looks. That's bad for a game that still struggles to gain acceptance.

Even as UConn stalks history, the national media can hardly be bothered to notice. Ho-hum, the Huskies win again. UConn is the biggest brand and presumably will attract some of the largest crowds in March, but Geno's team has taken a lot of the fun out the season.

There's something Breitling Replica Watches else at work here, too, when you're discussing the difficulty of sustaining interest in women's basketball.

Girls and young women play sports as never before, but they don't grow up to be fans. Along with men, women are reluctant to watch women's teams.

If women rooted for women's teams with a fraction of the passion that men display for men's sports, women's basketball would be an easier sell. The 8,400-seat Constant Center is far too

MEN who retire this year will have pensions nearly two-thirds bigger than women's, research has shown.

Omega Replica Watches

The average man who starts drawing a pension during 2010 is set to receive an annual retirement income averaging pound(s)19,593, but women who give up work are set to receive just pound(s)12,169 on average, according to Prudential.

The group said the gap between men and women was continuing to grow, with the difference widening to pound(s)7,424 a year, from pound(s)6,642 in 2009.

Pensions for all new retirees fell during the past 12 months, but women's dropped by three times as much as men.

On average, women who Fendi Replica Handbags give up work this year expect their pension to be 11% lower than those who retired last year.

Men saw an average drop of only 3.5%.

Karin Brown, director of pensions and annuities at Prudential, said: "The reason women appear to get less in their pensions than men is embedded in years of history and, to a certain extent, because some women take rolex replica a career break to have children, which has an impact."

The research also found nearly a third of people aged over 55 said they were delaying their retirement plans due to the economic downturn and decreases in the value of their investments.

Research Plus questioned 6,073 people aged 45 and over during December.

The U.S. women's hockey team knows exactly what to expect tonight when it plays Canada for an Olympic medal.

Bedlam.

They players saw it first hand Sunday night when they attended the U.S.-Canada men's game. And they saw it in September when they played Canada for the championship of the Olympic test tournament.

The famously polite Canadians suddenly turn mean. Their faces turn as red as the maple leaf on the flags they wave. And the Americans, as defenseman Karen Thatcher said, suddenly become "everyone's worst enemy."

Team USA knows tonight's 6:30 p.m. game will be the same, but they hope it has something else in common with those games: a U.S. victory.

But outside of the United States, there aren't many that expect the Americans to win their first gold since 1998.

"USA is a great team, but overall Canada is paper bag printing stronger and if I had to put money on it, I'd go with Canada," said Pekka Hamalainen, the coach of a Finland team that was shut out by both teams.

Canadian defenseman Carla Macleod says this wouldn't be a good game for Hamalainen or anybody else to gamble on. "On any given day it can go either way," she said.

The Americans know they'll be the underdogs, but they're unfazed by that role, one they rarely have to play.

"You can have on paper the best team in the Chanel Replica Handbags tournament," U.S. defenseman Kerry Weiland said, "but if the talent doesn't show up and put in the hard work . . . "

The Americans will be ready, Weiland said.

"It will be a dream come true," she said. "We feel prepared. We've put in a lot of hard work to be here."

The U.S. beat Canada in the last two World Championships, but Canada won all six exhibition games against the Americans before the Olympics.

The teams are the most dominant in the sport, meeting in the gold medal game for the third time since 1998, when women's hockey was first added to the Games. The postcard printing Americans won the first gold, but Canada has won the last two.

Both teams have dominated the Olympic tournament so far without even the hint of a close game. Team USA has outscored its opponents, 40-2, in four games and Canada won its games by combined score of 46- 2.

Meghan Agosto has been the Canadians' star so far, scoring a tournament-best nine goals. She also has five assists. Caroline Ouellette and Hayley Wickenheiser lead the tournament with nine assists each.

The Americans are led by Jenny Potter's six goals and Natalie Darwitz and Hilary Knight's seven assists each. Darwitz, Monique Lamoureux and Meghan Duggan are also among the top 10 scorers with four goals each.

U.S. goalie Jessie Vetter has allowed only one goal during the Games. Canada's top two goalies, Kim St. Pierre and Shannon Szabados, have combined to also allow one goal.

"I think it is one of the best rivalries in sport, male or female," Canada coach Melody Davidson said.

THE Church of England's national assembly has been urged to address a "testosterone deficit" among the faithful and attract more men into the pews.

Canon Simon Bessant, from Sheffield, said there is "plenty" of anecdotal evidence that the gender balance in congregations is getting "seriously out of line".

In a question to the House of Bishops of the Church of England, he asked whether the Church was Franck Muller Fake debating the "profound theological issues" implied by a "gender imbalance".

The Rt Raymond Weil Replica Rev Michael Hill, Bishop of Bristol, told the General Synod meeting in London that "every soul" is precious to the Lord and the Gospel is the same for men and women alike.

"I believe every bishop is concerned to build a well-balanced church and mission among men and young people is on everyone's agenda," he said.

The Synod is meeting after attendance figures for the Church of England released last month showed a fall in average Sunday attendance to 960,000 in 2008, compared with 978,000 in 2007.

Weekly attendance figures were also down over the same period at 1,145,000 in 2008, compared with 1,160,000 in 2007.

This follows on from Church's selection in the Rest Tournament team at the recent under-17 nationals in Nelson and some solid performances for Nelson at last month's under-19 nationals.

This is the first time Church has come to the attention of the Franck Muller Replica Watches national selectors and the 16-year-old Nelson College student has an opportunity to push for selection in the junior development team to attend the Friendship Games in Sydney in July JACQUES LEMANS Replica Watch when the 28-player squad will be reduced to 17.
