Simon Cowell hopes to raise relief money for the earthquake-ravaged people of Haiti with the release of a new single, "Everybody Hurts."

The new recording (originally by the group REM) features 21 artists, including Rod Stewart, Jon Bon Jovi, and Mariah Carey.

The single can be downloaded on iTunes and all proceeds go to Disasters Emergency Committee and The Sun's Helping Haiti Fund.

The video is pretty moving, with shots of the artists singing in the studio interspersed with images of suffering in Haiti. You can watch it below:

Wet weather has forced the postponement of Saturday's Carolina RailHawks-CASL fundraising soccer clinic at WakeMed Soccer Park.

A new date will be announced.

The
RailHawks professional soccer club and the Capital Area Soccer League
announced last week they would hold a joint soccer clinic and donate
proceeds to the Haiti earthquake relief effort.
