The city where Guy Fawkes is believed to have been born will not hold a public fireworks display after the council said it was too expensive.

It is the fourth year that no official free fireworks display has been held in York.

The city council said a previous public consultation had shown residents felt the money could be better spent.

Tourism chiefs said they were keen to see a Guy Fawkes Festival held in the city.

The last time the council staged an event was in 2005 to mark the 400th anniversary of the Gunpowder Plot, in which Guy Fawkes was a main protagonist.

DENVER — The Colorado parents accused of concocting a publicity stunt by pretending that their young son had climbed aboard a homemade helium balloon and was hurtling through the skies above Fort Collins, Colo., will voluntarily surrender to authorities as soon as charges are filed, which is expected to happen on Wednesday, the lawyer for the father said Monday morning.

David Lane, a Colorado civil rights lawyer who is representing Richard Heene, said both Mr. Heene and his wife, Mayumi, would plead not guilty and would turn themselves in to avoid further public spectacle.

Mr. Lane contended that placing handcuffs on the Heenes, in the full glare of the news media and for their children to see, would be abusive to the youngsters. The case became a nationally televised spectacle last Thursday, when the Heenes frantically reported that their 6-year-old son, Falcon, had climbed into the silver flying saucer his father had built in the backyard and drifted into the sky.

The imminent arrival of The Twilight Saga: New Moon, the second film in the popular vampire-werewolf series, has pretty much sent the Internet into a tailspin.

The film isn’t due in theatres for another month, but the mere mention of the motion picture soundtrack back in August sent fans tweeting to such a degree that it almost bordered on inappropriate. Not surprisingly, the soundtrack was leaked online early last week, pushing the U.S. retail release date to Oct. 16 from Oct. 20, in order to meet rapturous demand. (The soundtrack is being released today in Canada.)

This much is certain: By the time the film hits theatres, fickle fans will be sick of the soundtrack.

With that in mind, we have created a new mix for New Moon, one that compiles some of the best werewolf- and vampire-themed songs in history.
