Id. at 131 (Section 16(A)).
Less than a week after signing the contract, a labor strike hit CWM, and between 50 and 70 of its 120 employees walked off the job. Because CWM believed its collective bargaining agreement with the International Association of United Worker's Union prohibited its employees from striking, the company anticipated that the strike would be quickly resolved. As it happened, however, the labor dispute lingered unresolved for over two years.
Fall of 2003 also represented the beginning of other hardships for CWM. Several roof collapses that season culminated in the Federal Mine Safety and Health Administration ("MSHA") ordering CWM to seal its mine numberone in January 2004. At that time, CWM anticipated it could still meet its contractual obligations to Aquila with coal from its mines three and four, but CWM soon encountered a slew of geological problems in mine three. These included roof collapses, muddy conditions, and "hot spots" of coal (essentially areas of extremely high temperatures). According to CWM's mining supervisor, Mr. Defa, the muddy conditions and the hot coal were the worst of those problems he had seen in thirty-eight years of mining. Supp.App. at 126, 128. Because of the muddy conditions in mine three, according to Mr. Defa active mining in that mine "almost stopped." Supp.App. at 131 (Testimony of Mr. Defa). And as to the "hot spots" of coal, they "slowed the mining way down. It


stopped [CWM] from mining that area." Id. at 132. When the problems first erupted in mine three, mine four was not yet ready for coal production.
In December 2003, just before CWM's delivery obligations to Aquila were slated to begin, CWM notified Aquila in writing that it considered its labor dispute a force majeure event, as defined by the parties' contract, and that its coal shipments would be reduced as a result. Over the course of the following months, CWM sent several more letters to Aquila confirming the labor dispute's status as a force majeure event, and updating Aquila on the progress of its labor negotiations. For its part, Aquila accepted the coal CWM did deliver, but informed CWM by letter on August 25, 2004, that "[f]or the avoidancesulfur content, necessitating the purchase of sulfur emission credits before the coal could be burned.

In due course, Aquila brought suit against CWM in the United States District Court of Utah to recoup the damages it sustained as a result of CWM's impaired performance underand eventual cancellation ofthe contract. As its chief defense, CWM asserted that its labor dispute and geological problems, of which it argued Aquila had written notice of the former and actual notice of the latter, excused its deficient performance under the contract as force majeure events. CWM also asked the court to find that Aquila had waived its claim that CWM breached the contract by continuing to accept coal shipments from CWM, and that, if nothing else, Aquila had failed to mitigate its damages.
After a


extent made necessary by such Force Majeure," at least until such time as the contract is properly terminated. That is, under the terms of the agreement, the district court could lawfully excuse CWM's deficient performance during the life of the contract only to the extent that the partial force majeurehere, the labor dispute caused the deficiency.
Under this contractual scheme, CWM was free to prove at trial the extent to which the labor dispute force majeure, as opposed to independent geological problems, caused its nonperformance, and to be excused from damages caused by the labor dispute. Under Missouri law, much as elsewhere, however, it was CWM's burden to come forward with proof from which the district court could determine the impact of the force majeure labor strike.

"The current Junior Cycle curriculum has been in place for 25 years without any fundamental reform," Minister Quinn continued.

"There is compelling evidence that it is failing some young people as significant numbers of first years do not make progress in the key building blocks of learning: English and Maths.

PEORIA — An animated Disney show will spring to life this May when a live tour arrives at the Peoria Civic Center Theater.

"PJ Masks Live! Time to be a Hero" will be at the Civic Center on May 4, with tickets going on sale at 10 a.m. Friday. Ticket prices start at $35 and can be purchased at the Civic Center box office, ticketmaster.com or by calling 1-800-745-3000.

"PJ Masks" is a hit series currently in its second season on Disney Junior. It follows the nighttime adventures of three young friends who transform into their alter egos — Catboy, Owlette and Gekko — when they put on their


pajamas before bed. Together, they solve mysteries and encounter action-packed moments while learning lifelong lessons in the process.

The live tour started after the debut of the first season and returns to the stage this spring by popular demand.

He dubbed the bash ”Project XXX” – after a 2012 film about a young man who tries to improve his social standing with a wild party.

Ollie held the party while his parents were on holiday in Dubai but news of the event went viral and more than 1,000 out of control party-goers showed up, a court heard.

He was left was stunned when a thousand strangers from


as far away as Manchester descended on his parents home in Tewin, Herts.

Britain’s Got Talent judge Alesha Dixon even arrived at the chaotic rave and personally serenaded him with a rendition of ”Happy Birthday”.

The party ran “way out of hand” and neighbours flooded police with reports of thefts, smashed cars, and fighting.

Officers were forced to close the whole street leading to Boorman’s house because of the traffic congestion caused by the huge number of revellers.

The computer engineer was desperate to boost his popularity and wanted guests at his party while his parents were away

Police were called to the raucous scene at 11pm, just three hours after the party started, and eventually managed to shut the party down.

Sunday Mass, Degree Coffee and Harley Davidsons

Attending Holy Mass on Sundays at different churches is an experience. Many Catholics do so nowadays.

The concept of parish community broke down some time ago - of people in an area attending services at the designated church in the parish zone.

The change happened for various reasons. Some for convenience, others out of an attachment to a place or the nature of services. And some others to undertake a pilgrimage or keep a vow.

Last Sunday, I made a pit stop at a church dedicated to Our Lady of Lourdes in Muttukkadu, metres before the boating yard on the ECR.

A small congregation was at the Mass in Thamizh and through the hour-long service the power went off and on and off and

This long sabbatical to the promised land is when deep cover agents, (and not so deep cover) are trained by Israeli Intelligence. Was Mr. Hellman?

His seven years as an ecology consultant for Jerusalem was when the “cleaning out the Palestinians of East Jerusalem got cranked up, one of Israel’s many “lebensraum” (growing space) horrors.

After Hellerman proved his mettle, he was handed his big job, to set up a registered lobbyist group for Israel… with an interesting twist.

As the biology of gas exchange evolved, skin was superseded by gills, and gills were superseded by rudimentary lungs. After this long underwater gestation, around 500 million years ago, ‘aquatic-to-terrestrial transition’ began. Eukaryotic life moved from ocean to land, and proto-reptiles evolved, with stunning slowness, into mammals and birds. Birds evolved their own method of gas exchange, involving a series of air sacs lodged throughout the body and bones. In mammals, the lungs became the powerhouse, existing at the centre of a process that goes like this: on inhale, the diaphragm flattens downward and the intercostal muscles lift up the ribs, expanding the volume of the lungs. As volume increases, air pressure decreases relative to the atmosphere, and air rushes in. Mammalian lungs are covered with millions


a cooling mechanism for the heart. The great physician Galen thought that we absorbed air through our skin. It wasn’t until the 17th century that our understanding of breathing advanced in any real way. In the 1660s, Robert Boyle constructed his famous air pump, and demonstrated that sucking the air out of a sealed chamber made the sorry animal contained inside it shuffle off its mortal coil.

A century later, Joseph Priestley discovered that an unknown gas did the opposite: sustain both candles and animal life. And before he was guillotined during the French Revolution, the nobleman Antoine-Laurent de Lavoisier proved that this gas was a chemical element existing in air, and named it oxygen. In the 1870s, Eduard Pflüger demonstrated that the real action of oxygen consumption happensImage copyright Getty Images Image caption You can now do an MBA in horseracing

Steve Gibson says he has made it clear that people should never approach him for any betting advice.

"I'm a terrible punter!" he insists.

The 36-year-old does, however, often get asked for tips because of the university course he is enrolled on - an MBA (Master of Business Administration) in thoroughbred horseracing industries.

Launched in 2015, the two-year course at Liverpool University has been specially designed for people who want to take up a senior administrative or leadership role in the sport.

A sister MBA at the college is called football industries.

While the two courses sound like a most enjoyable way to spend your time at university, they are in fact part of a growing trend - the rise


in the industry they wish to join.

"Specialisation gives universities and students a way to stand out," says Anke Arnaud, associate professor of management at Embry-Riddle Aeronautics University in Florida.

"If everyone is offering an MBA programme, you have to find a way to differentiate, to innovate.

"It starts with attracting lecturers who have a depth of knowledge, and courses that are hip, in the now, and sexy.

"There's a need to offer something different to cater to specific careers."

Field trips

At Liverpool University the horseracing MBA includes the study of marketing, sponsorship, the media, sports law, regulation, and horse welfare, explains the head of the course, Neil Coster.

Students also go on a number of field trips, including seeing behind the scenes at a race day at Haydock Park, near Liverpool, and avisit to the UK's National Stud in Newmarket, in the east of England, the country's centre of racehorse breeding.

The idea for the course came from industry bodies the British Horseracing Authority and the Horseracing Betting Levy Board.

Mr Coster says: "They saw a need for a master's level education programme that would assist people already working in the industry to prepare and upskill for senior management positions, and help career changers to facilitate a move into the industry."

Those enrolled on the football MBA at Liverpool get to visit the headquarters of European football governing body Uefa, which is based in the Swiss town of Nyon.

And if that wasn't prestigious enough, last


year they also visited nearby Tranmere Rovers.

Liverpool's football MBA is in fact one of the oldest specialised versions of the qualification, and is now in its 20th year.

"There was clearly a need for graduates with an excellent knowledge of management disciplines and their applications to football," says Babatunde Buraimo, a senior lecturer on the course.

The football MBA takes one year to complete full time, and costs £15,000 for UK nationals, or £21,500 for overseas students. The horseracing qualification costs from £7,500 per annum for two years.

'Missing link'

Marie-Pierre Serret says she knows all about the value of a specialised MBA because without one she had struggled to secure afulfilling job in the aviation industry.

Despite having a masters degree in international business and marketing, the 43-year-old Frenchwoman says she spent a number of years being bumped from job to job, including working as a flight attendant and a check-in clerk.

Image copyright Marie-Pierre Serret Image caption Marie-Pierre Serret says the aviation MBA helped her secure a good job

So a few years ago she sold her house and enrolled on an MBA in aviation management at Florida's Embry-Riddle Aeronautics University. It wasn't cheap, costing £33,000 for the course, which takes between one-and-a-half and two years.

"This specialised MBA is the missing link," says Ms Serret, who now works as a research assistant for an Embry-Riddle aviation business professor. Projects she has been involved in include working out the marketability of


of entrepreneurship at the University of Iowa.

Meanwhile, Michal Strahilevitz, marketing professor at Duke University in North Carolina, cautions that she has seen scores of individuals who have pursued specialisation only to then discover that the specific profession wasn't quite for them.

Others warn that holders of specialised MBAs may struggle to secure the really senior jobs because the qualifications don't yet have the kudos of a general MBA.

Marlena Corcoran, chief executive of Athena Mentor, an international university admission counselling company, says: "A person with a specialised MBA is likely to wind up working for a person with a [general] MBA."We jump right in to the grief of losing Sybil.

The ease of visualization of an emergency vehicle is a primary concern to emergency personnel regardless of the location of the observer. In the past, optimal observation of emergency lights has occurred when an individual was either directly in front of, or behind, an emergency vehicle. Observation from the sides, or at an acute angle relative to the sides, frequently resulted in reduced observation of emergency lights during an emergency situation. A need therefore exists to improve the observation of emergency lights for a vehicle regardless of the location of the observer.

Donald Trump is a stone-cold racist. There was surely no doubt about that, not after he launched his presidential campaign by branding Mexican migrants as rapists and criminals. Or after he praised the white supremacists who marched under swastika banners in Charlottesville as “very fine people”.

Or after he talked of migrants from Nigeria returning to their “huts”. Or suggested all Haitian newcomers to the US had Aids. Or after he called black players in the National Football League “sons of bitches”. Or after he claimed that America’s first black president was really born in Africa – and demanded to see his university papers, because he didn’t believe he was smart enough to get into Harvard.

So nobody can say they are surprised that, in the course of an OvalWinfrey has been a fixture of American TV for more than three decades. Her billions are real, his are shaky. Her record of philanthropy is serious. His has been exposed as bogus.

Politically, she would be likely to energise core constituencies, including the African-American voters who did so much to propel Barack Obama into the White House in 2008 and 2012, but who turned out in smaller numbers for Hillary Clinton.

In Doonbeg and surrounding rural towns, many residents support the Trump golf course.

A local council in southwestern Ireland on Thursday approved a Trump Organization plan to build 53 houses and a new ballroom at its seaside golf course, part of the company's efforts to reverse financial losses at its European resorts by moving into home-building and hosting more private events.

The approval by the Clare County Council to build out the farmland around the Trump International Golf Links and Hotel Doonbeg is the second such victory in recent weeks for President Trump's family business.

Last month, a council in northeastern Scotland approved an even more ambitious plan to build 550 homes near the company's golf course in northeastern Scotland.

The move toward home-building and private parties comes as the company hassuffered losses at its three European golf courses for several years.

"We very much welcome this potential investment in Clare by the Trump Organization, and we see it as a validation of a very important and very successful tourism product," said Liam Conneally, director of economic development and planning with Clare County Council.

The decision could potentially be appealed, Conneally said.

"It is a wonderful day for Doonbeg and the entire West Coast of Ireland!" Eric Trump, one of the president's sons, said in a statement. Eric Trump and his brother Donald Trump Jr. have taken over day-to-day operations of the Trump Organization while their father is in the White House.

In Doonbeg and the surrounding rural towns, many residents support the Trump golf course and its expansion plans. The course, along


the Doonbeg course, which is perched on sand dunes overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, the biggest threats might not be financial. Over the years, seawater has eroded the dunes and risks washing away chunks of fairway. The Trump Organization has applied to build a rock barrier below the dunes to prevent further erosion, and that application is in court proceedings and awaiting a national planning board decision. Some environmentalists have opposed the barrier.

At Doonbeg, the Trump Organization plans to build the 53 houses for short-term visits by tourists, as well as a ballroom and a restaurant, among other facilities.

Council members said no local residents lodged formal opposition to the plan. Theresa and Tony O'Dea, a couple living near the course who ultimately supported the proposal, wrote to the planningdepartment to say they "have endured distress and many sleepless nights" because of loud music from weddings and parties as well as regular helicopter flights that pass "extremely low over our house and farmland."

Other residents said that anything to help the company turn a profit would be welcome.

"What is being proposed is no way interfering with anything and just adding to it," said Liam Ryan, a local business owner who also supports Trump's sea wall plan.

Vice President Mike Pence and his entourage spent two nights at Trump Doonbeg last month during a taxpayer-funded trip to Ireland.

The visit was criticized by House Democrats, and the House Oversight Committee opened a probe into whether Trump improperly benefited from the trip.

Trump, who has also visited Doonbeg this year, said he had

“Many of the American institutions had no idea that their own faculty had a laboratory in China,” Lauer said. “They became aware of this only by virtue of the fact that the government came asking.”

Medical treatment was provided to the injured even as a medical camp was established in the area.

Meanwhile, the SSP of the area has taken congnizance into the matter and has suspended one officer in this regard.

Built with hand-hewn oak timbers and hazel spars, it is the latest addition to the educational farm on Butser Hill where I work as a creative developer, feeding goats and designing guide books.

The farm is an outdoor archaeological laboratory, and recreates ancient buildings from the neolithic period onwards. Inside the hall a log fire releases sparks like doves at a wedding, burning through the daylight hours to amuse wandering visitors searching for a taste of history.

This hall was built using archaeological footprints from a Saxon settlement in Chalton, a tiny village sleeping one mile away. It is warm and woody; in the centre

Fortunately, our owl, thawed in her shawl of ivory feathers, has found shelter within the thick beams of this hall, as she would have done in its Saxon original before rat poison, habitat loss and motorcars began to threaten her species. She arrives and departs silently within this modern agricultural landscape of rapeseed and ammonium phosphate, and dissolves into the darkness before dawn can begin.

The number of people with dementia and Alzheimer's disease is soaring around the world and will nearly double in the next 20 years, according to a report published today.

The report, by a team of researchers led by Professor Martin Prince of the Institute of Psychiatry at King's College London, says that by next year there will be 35 million people globally with dementia. By 2030, that will have risen to 65.7 million and the steep rise will continue to more than 115 million by 2050.

The burden on those with the disease, on their carers and on society is immense, according to the report, which is published by Alzheimer's Disease International (ADI). It calls on the World Health Organisation to make dementia a world health priority in the hopetoll dementia can take on carers, who are often unpaid family members. "Caring is a full-time job – an average of around eight hours per day for a relative with moderate to severe dementia," he said.

"In all parts of the world, carers – who are most commonly female and the spouses or children of the persons with dementia – often experience high levels of strain.

"Studies reviewed in the new report suggest that half to three-quarters of carers have significant psychological illness, while up to a third have clinical depression."

He said that given these statistics, "current investment in research, treatment and care is actually quite disproportionate to the overall impact of the disease".

Marc Wortmann, ADI's executive director, said much more could be done by governments to alleviate the burden


Suge Knight's Family Gives Update on His Condition: He Lost a Lot of Blood

August 26, 2014 (6:41 am) GMT

The music executive's family says in a statement released on Facebook that Knight is recovering after losing a lot of blood and asks fans to pray for his speedy recovery.

Suge Knight is resting after he got shot at a pre-VMA party hosted by Chris Brown and Pia Mia recently. His family took to Facebook on Monday, August 25 to share an update on his condition and ask fans to respect their privacy as he recovers.

"The family of Suge Knight ask that you keep Suge in your prayers and to stray away from the negativity portrayed by the media," read the statement. Suge is currently resting and has lost a lotof blood, he's human. He's done a lot of things for the community and the culture as a whole so we ask that you respect that."

The music exec was injured in a shooting incident at 101OAK in Los Angeles on early Sunday. According to a statement from police, two men and a woman were also injured.

On Sunday night, a representative for Brown released a statement saying that the R&B star would continue cooperating with the authorities during the investigation. "Chris hosted an event in Los Angeles last night to celebrate the upcoming release of his album 'X', during which an incident occurred," the rep said.

"This incident did not involve Chris; he was merely the host of the event," the rep added. "(Chris) has and will continue to cooperate

BACKGROUND

6
Donald Jebian, now sixty-three, worked as a software engineer for Hewlett Packard continuously from 1983 to May 1995. In 1990 he began to suffer from a series of orthopedic impairments that caused him pain and made it difficult for him to move normally.

7
Jebian first developed bilateral shoulder pain. It turned out that he had a massive rotator cuff defect in his right shoulder, which was not diagnosed until 1995. In 1992, Jebian also began to experience back pain. Doctors determinedthat the cause was lumbar spinal stenosis.1 His doctors agree that his stenosis is congenital rather than the result of injury. Later, Jebian was diagnosed with lumbar degenerative disc disease, which exacerbated his back pain.

8
Jebian stopped work in May 1994 because of intractable back pain. He had a lumbar discectomy in June 1995, the first of several surgeries. Because his back pain persisted after the surgery, he had a second surgery on his back in the fall of 1995. Dr. Stark, who examined Jebian at Hewlett Packard's request with regard to a worker's compensation claim in October 1995, predicted that Jebian would need yet another surgery on his back. Jebian also underwent two surgeries on his shoulders in 1996, one on each.

9
Jebian was a participant in an employee


weeks left work for a third time, this time not to return.

13
VPA found Jebian eligible for short-term disability benefits when he left work in June 1997. In February 1998, with the thirty-ninth week of his short-term benefits approaching, Jebian again applied for long-term benefits. VPA denied Jebian's application for long-term disability benefits on August 3, 1998.

14
VPA's letter of denial based its decision on two reports that it had commissioned concerning Jebian's condition: a "Work Capacities Assessment" conducted by physical therapists employed by Health-South, a company that conducts such physical assessments for insurers and employers, and an "Employability Assessment Report" conducted by a vocational consultant employed by Rehab West, a company that provides vocational assessments.

15
VPA's denial letter relied largely on HealthSouth's representation that Jebian could tolerate "sitting, walking, trunkdo within his education and vocational background." The report adds: "It also appears that these occupations are within his physical capabilities as per the medical records provided," but, as noted, it is not clear from the record which medical records were reviewed by Rehab West, and Rehab West issued identical reports in 1996 and 1998 despite changes in Jebian's medical circumstances.

48
Jebian stresses, furthermore, that VPA's decision is in tension with the opinions of several doctors, including the doctors who treated him, all of whom agree that Jebian can neither sit nor stand except for a very short time and is therefore permanently disabled. Dr. James Stark examined Jebian at Hewlett Packard's request with regard to a workers' compensation claim. Dr. Stark wrote in October 1995, after Jebian had


undergone his second back surgery, that "Mr. Jebian is not capable of working at this time because of his sitting and standing limitations. It is not clear whether he will ever be able to compete in the open labor market because of pain related physical limitations."

49
Dr. Lu, who has treated Jebian since February 1995, filled out a "Physician's Certification of Disability" for Jebian in September 1997. Dr. Lu noted on that form that Jebian "has tried to RTW [return to work] twice, but was unable to tolerate sitting more than a few minutes at a time, or standing." Dr. Lu filled out another Hewlett Packard Company form on January 30, 1998. This time Dr. Lu checked a box stating that his patient is "now totally disabled from anydialogue and the lack of a reasoned decision on the new evidence, the court concluded that de novo review should have been applied. Id. at 636-37.

71
The facts presented here are very different. Contrary to the majority's characterization of the facts, VPA and Jebian were, in the words of the district court, engaged in "meaningful dialogue" regarding Jebian's appeal. VPA received Jebian's letter appealing the denial of benefits on November 16, 1998. VPA sent a letter to Jebian on March 15, 1999, explaining in detail the reasons for its denial and asking for further information on two of Jebian's claims. The majority makes much of the fact that this letter was written on the 119th day. Regardless of when the letter was sent, VPA was engaged in a good

Informal settlers, former drug addicts, and people mostly on the fringes of society have found refuge in the churches that continue to grow in these areas.

"The government doesn't help us, so God is the only option for the poor," Pastor Marcio Antonio told Reuters.

The 37-year-old pastor from the Assembly of God Church was an ex-drug dealer in Catagalo "favela" before he became a Christian. He was forced into the drug trade for survival as there were limited opportunities available to him then.

The "favelas," or low-income slums in Brazil, are home to people who have limited to no access to government services such as transportation, healthcare, and sanitation. Majority of them do not have legal property rights for the ill-constructed shanties they live in.

"There are a lot of problemshere in the favela," said the pastor. "Poverty, a lack of work, crime, mental health issues – the church helps with these things."

In the community seemingly forgotten by the government, the evangelical churches are slowly gaining foothold as they provide services that help ease the lives of the people in the slums.

Jeff Garmany, a lecturer from the Brazil Institute of King's College London, said the government's lack of presence in the "favelas" and slums provided an avenue for the churches to step in.

"People in 'favelas' are dealing with serious issues of stigma, poverty and violence," said Garmany. "The state's inability to adequately deal with these issues allowed the churches to grow and make inroads with people."

More so, Garmany noticed that the churches are not only able to provide


"religious services" to these poverty-stricken areas. They also tackle "social issues" head-on with the people living in the "favelas."

In 2013, a study by the U.S.-based Pew Research Center showed that the number of Protestants living in Brazil increased while the number of those who adhered to the Catholic faith declined.

Antonio said in Cantagalo alone, there are 15 evangelical churches as opposed to only two Catholic ones.

A member of the Assembly of God Church told Reuters that the appeal of the evangelical church comes from its inclusivity.

"We are like a family," said Luana de Souza from the Assembly of God Church. "The church helps out with things like finding work and education."

Meanwhile, another church member, Laiana Almeida, revealed that the church gives more than what they need.

"What the worldThe Sierra Nevada red fox—one of the rarest mammals in the U.S.—was recently caught on camera in Yosemite National Park for the first time in a century.

The fox, one of what experts estimate to be less than 50 left in the wild, was spotted by a wildlife camera set up by researchers in Yosemite's backcountry, according to a National Park Service news release published Wednesday.

“We are thrilled to hear about the sighting of the Sierra Nevada red fox, one of the rarest and most elusive animals in the Sierra Nevada,” said Yosemite National Park Superintendent Don Neubacher in the release.

In a phone interview with Sierra, Yosemite Park Ranger Kari Cobb said the last confirmed sighting in the park was in 1915.

The South Carolina softball team has gone from a bottom dweller in the Southeastern Conference to an NCAA tournament team and a couple of area standouts are a main reason why.

Austin RegionalIn Austin, TexasHouston vs. USC, 4 p.m. today

Former Boiling Springs star Alaynie Page and former Gaffney standout Julie Sarratt helped USC reach the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2007 as Carolina compiled a 32-23 record, 8-16 in the SEC.

The mark was USC's best since a 38-26 (12-16) finish in 2007. The Gamecocks are went 1-25 in the SEC in 2010.

Sarratt, a redshirt sophomore, said USC's mindset has been more important to the recent success than the play on theto balance social and softball. It's been challenging, but it's all worth it now.”

While Page is making contributions at the plate, Sarratt is providing a boost both on the mound and with her bat.

Sarratt missed the 2012 season after undergoing Tommy John surgery, but leads the team in wins (11), appearances (29) and ERA (3.00).

She is hitting .263 with three home runs and 28 RBIs.

Sarratt said that despite not playing last year, she still got better.

“Last season was really hard to not be able to contribute on the field for the team. It was hard not to be able to be on the field physically, but as far as the mental aspect of the game, I learned a lot and that's helped me a lot this season,” Sarratt


Junior High School ("West Jay"), an Indiana public school operated by the Jay County School Corporation ("Jay County"). Plaintiffs named as Defendants the Board of Trustees for the Jay County School Corporation ("School Board") and George Gilbert ("Gilbert"), Superintendent, in their official capacities. In addition, Plaintiffs named as Defendants Kevin McClung ("McClung"), principal at West Jay, Robert Prescott ("Prescott"), a teacher at West Jay, Janice Miller ("Miller"), also a teacher at West Jay, and Diana Stewart ("Stewart"), a substitute food service worker at West Jay. (Plaintiffs subsequently agreed to dismiss Prescott from the suit.)
The Plaintiffs allege that they were the victims of an illegal search performed by McClung, Miller and Stewart on March 4, 1994. Plaintiffs assert a claim based on a violation of their constitutional rights, aswell as several state law claims.
The facts reveal that on March 4, 1994, immediately following their physical education *1211 class, two female students reported to their gym teacher, Prescott, that four dollars and fifty cents ($4.50) was missing from the locker room. Prescott informed McClung of the girls' allegation of possible theft. McClung decided to conduct a search of the students and their lockers. He asked Miller and Stewart to assist him in the search. McClung then told all the girls in the gym class to remain in the gym. He then directed girls to go into the locker room in pairs. Once inside, McClung, Miller and Stewart searched the girls' lockers and book bags. They also instructed the girls to remove their shoes and socks in an


effort to uncover the missing loot.
Stewart then suggested that the girls could hide the money in their bras, and asked McClung if he wanted the girls' bras searched. McClung decided to conduct such a search and ordered Miller and Stewart to take the girls to another part of the locker room to do so. All of the "strip searches" were conducted in a similar fashion, although the specific details of each one vary somewhat. Rogers, for example, was forced to remove her bra, which she did from underneath her shirt, and hand it to Stewart for examination. Rogers Deposition, pp. 19-20. Roach was told by Stewart to remove her shirt and bra, which she did, so they could be inspected. Stewart then patted Roach's pockets on the outsideof her pants, and placed her hands inside the girl's pockets. Roach Deposition, pp. 22-23. Oliver went into the locker room and removed her pants and shirt and handed them to Stewart for inspection. She was then told to loosen the straps of her bra to see if any money fell out. Oliver Deposition, pp. 22-23. Wright was told by Stewart to shake her bra to see if any money fell out. Stewart also patted Wright's pockets. Wright Deposition, pp. 21-22. Sargent was told to take off her shirt by either Stewart or Miller, who then checked Sargent's bra by lifting it up. Sargent was then told to unbutton her pants and either Miller or Stewart checked the waistline of Sargent's pants by sticking a thumb in the


waistline and going around the waist. Sargent Deposition, pp. 24-25. Stanton was also told to remove her shirt and pull the straps of her bra off her shoulders. Stanton Deposition, pp. 46-47. Once the girls were searched they were permitted to leave the gym and go on to their next class.
At some point later that same day, McClung concluded that the search had been a mistake. He spent that evening and the rest of the weekend contacting the parents of all the students who were subjected to the search in order to report what had taken place. On the following Monday morning, McClung met with the girls and apologized to them.
The plaintiffs allege that this search was unreasonable and therefore a violation of their Fourth Amendment right. Theyroom three or four weeks prior to the search of the Plaintiffs. Plaintiffs' Memorandum in Support of Motion for Summary Judgment, p. 9; McClung Deposition, p. 76. Plaintiffs also point to the testimony of Miller, who stated that she had helped search the person of a male student at the East Jay County Junior High School.[1]Id. However, during the search of the boys' locker room, which also was an attempt to recover some missing money, the boys involved were not required to remove any articles of clothing other than their shoes and socks. McClung Deposition, p. 76. Miller's participation in the search of the male student at another school apparently occurred long before the incident complained of in this suit. In that search, which was intended to seize


hiding drugs in the crotch of his pants. There had been recent incidents of drug-related activity reported by teachers and personal observations of bulges in the student's crotch area. He was taken into a locker room and told to remove his pants. However, he was allowed to put on his gym uniform during the search. Likewise, in Widener, school officials detected the odor of marijuana emanating from a male student, and observed him acting in a lethargic manner. The student, a fifteen-year-old male, was taken into a private office where, in the presence of two male security guards, *1218 was told to remove his jeans but not his undergarments. The court held that the search was reasonable under the circumstances. In Williams, school officials again had very stronghit us. In Syria, when we got snow or wind it was OK. But here, when the wind blows we get a bit scared, as we're afraid the tent will get blown away."

What Happened (The Past)

Walaa*, 11, left Syria with her pregnant mother because airstrikes had blown up all the hospitals, schools and supermarkets in the area. They had no access to food, water or health services – everything they needed to survive. One day, as she was walking home, Walaa saw her school explode before her eyes, as shells landed on the buildings. She could smell burning and heard the sound of plane engines as they flew low overhead.

This image uses an original drawing created by Walaa to tell the story of the moment her school was


bombed. Walaa's drawing has been re-created and enlarged into a 3D tableau, using props made by children in the camp. Walaa says, "The aircraft targeted the school with rockets. I thought my uncles had been killed and I cried." Many Syrian refugee children experience first-hand the devastating impact of airstrikes on homes and schools.

Walaa attends Save the Children's Child Friendly Space in Anjar and spends time studying at home with her mother. She has made friends in the camp, but says it still doesn't feel like home.thought it was very unprofessional and I really was proud of the way my coaches were trying to do what they were supposed to do in those situations. [Tampa's coaches] seemed very immature and out of control."

Friday's altercation began in the top of the ninth inning after Red Sox reliever Franklin Morales drilled Rays batter Luke Scott. No one was ejected but the respective coaching staffs went at each other during the massive shoving and screaming match near home plate.

One Red Sox staffer said he did not appreciate some of the comments the Rays were making about Valentine during the scrum. Maddon said after the game he believed there was a "hit" put out on Scott and called the Red Sox coaching staff "cowardly" and "weak" for the


or gamesmanship remains to be seen.

When Friday's scrum first began and the Tampa dugout emptied, Red Sox pitching coach Bob McClure was one of the first out of the home dugout.

"We're in it to win it," Valentine said. "There was no doubt that the coaching staff, me and the players were together -- unified."

Valentine said he did not plan on speaking with Maddon before Saturday's game, but added he really liked the Rays' manager. Valentine said before the game he was contemplating bringing the scorecard to home plate before the game, which is usually the job of bench coach Tim Bogar, but Bogar did the honors.

Trump praises Kim Jong Un, scores 'failing' Iran

US President Donald Trump addresses the 73rd United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) on Tuesday. (AFP photo)

UNITED NATIONS: President Donald Trump on Tuesday called for Iran's isolation while welcoming another former adversary, North Korea, in from the cold in an unabashedly boastful speech to the United Nations General Assembly which provoked laughter from fellow leaders.

Hours before Iranian President Hassan Rouhani was due to speak from the same rostrum, Trump denounced the clerical regime in Tehran for sowing "chaos, death and destruction" as he defended his decision to ditch an internationally brokered nuclear deal four months ago.

But after stunning the global body with his bellicose language on North Korea a year ago, including a threat to "totally destroy" Kim Jong Un's state, Trumpinstead praised his one-time arch enemy for his "courage" as he hailed progress in fragile peace efforts with Pyongyang.

Since Trump came to power, promising that the world's most powerful country would follow an "America First" foreign policy, there have been growing fears about the US commitment to multilateral institutions such as the United Nations.

In his speech at the opening of the assembly, UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres said trust in the rules-based global order and among states was "at a breaking point" and international cooperation becoming more difficult, without specifically mentioning Trump.

"Today, world order is increasingly chaotic. Power relations are less clear," Guterres told the 193-nation assembly.

"Universal values are being eroded. Democratic principles are under siege," he added just minutes before Trump was to take the podium.

Trump however


robustly attacked the "globalist" view of the world and vowed that "America will never apologize for protecting its citizens."

He said that the UN-backed International Criminal Court has "no jurisdiction, no legitimacy and no authority" and said that his administration -- which has recently choked off aid to the Palestinians -- would only support "our friends" in the future.

Boasting that his team "has achieved more than any administration in the history of our country," Trump was met with laughter, highly unusual in the solemn General Assembly.

"I didn't expect that reaction, but that's okay," Trump responded.

But the most closely watched passage of his speech came when he turned to Iran.

"We cannot allow the world's leading sponsor of terrorism to possess the planet's most dangerous weapons," Trump said, in an allusionto Tehran's support for Islamic militant movements such as Hamas and Hezbollah.

"We cannot allow a regime that chants 'Death to America' and that threatens Israel with annihilation, to possess the means to deliver a nuclear warhead to any city on Earth," he said.

"We ask all nations to isolate Iran's regime as long as its aggression continues."

Adversaries such as Rouhani will get their chance to respond later in the week-long meeting while traditional allies may also voice concerns.

Trump's speech followed a tweet in which he said that wouldn't meet Rouhani on the sidelines of the General Assembly - although he said was sure Rouhani "is an absolutely lovely man!"

Trump later told reporters that "everything about Iran is failing right now."

He described its inflation as the worst in the world


to impose sanctions.

And French President Emmanuel Macron used his speech at the assembly to urge "dialogue and multilateralism" on dealing with Iran, crediting the 2015 accord with curbing Tehran's nuclear program.

Trump withdrew from the nuclear deal in May, to the dismay of the other parties which had invested years in negotiations to achieve a milestone agreement on keeping Iran's nuclear ambitions in check.

In his address, the Iranian president is expected to stress that Tehran continues to stick to the deal and portray the United States as a pariah for breaking its international commitments.

Even though they will be speaking from the same stage, both Trump and Rouhani have ruled out a meeting on the sidelines of the assembly.

In a tweet on Tuesday morning, Trump said he had no plansto meet Rouhani "despite requests" to do so.

"Maybe someday in the future. I am sure he is an absolutely lovely man!" he said.

Rouhani has said he does not want to meet Trump. He told NBC News that the US leader must first repair the damage done by exiting the nuclear deal. "That bridge must be rebuilt," he said.

On Wednesday, Trump will for the first time chair a meeting of the Security Council on non-proliferation that will give him a fresh opportunity to make the case for a tougher international stance on Iran.

LAS CRUCES, New Mexico -- A woman in her 20s is the second confirmed case of coronavirus in Doña Ana County, according to the New Mexico Department of Health. It announced 14 new cases statewide on Saturday.

A man in is 20s was announced as the first Doña Ana County case on Friday. And while his case was believed to be travel-related, officials said a number of the other cases in the state involved community spread.

"First and foremost, I ask everyone to be calm and considerate to one another and the needs of our community," Las Cruces Mayor Ken Miyagishima told ABC-7 on Friday after the first Doña Ana County case was revealed. "While this news is unwelcome, it is not unexpected."

Aside from Doña Ana, Saturday's other newBut in the July of her lost year, for reasons she can't entirely explain, Marling finally decided to start plucking around on her guitar again. She reunited the group of musicians she'd disbanded before her stripped-down fourth album, Once I Was an Eagle, and knocked out her new LP, Short Movie, in just a couple of weeks. Full of hazy drones, expansive string arrangements, and, for the first time, electric guitar work from Marling herself, it's probably her most instrumentally diverse record to date, while still retaining the more ramshackle, "first thought, best thought" approach she'd begun to employ the last time around. Her voice is throaty and self-assured, and the songwriting reveals a wider-angle focus. Unlike her early records, Short Movie largely shuns personal narratives of "chance


or circumstance or romance"—to borrow one of her lyrics from Once I Was an Eagle. Instead, she's made her otherworldly storytelling just a little more fractured and a little more vague, focusing her gaze on other people's tales of heartbreak and disaffection rather than just her own. On "How Strange I Love You," she sings about a dedicated husband and father who's just trying to be a good man, taunting, Do you know how hard that is?

The night before our meeting at the hotel bar, as part of a Conor Oberst-headlined show at New York's ornately decorated Beacon Theatre, Marling took the stage solo, her hair newly shorn into a style resembling Carl Dreyer's Joan of Arc, fiercely fingerpicking her way through a pair of thundering and severeFans of Sherlock Holmes have a chance to become part of a publishing tribute to the great detective by submitting stories for inclusion in a new book to be compiled by website Sherlockology.

188 So.2d 143 (1966)
STATE ex rel. Louis A. CHARBONNET
v.
JEFFERSON PARISH SCHOOL BOARD et al.
No. 2322.
Court of Appeal of Louisiana, Fourth Circuit.
May 18, 1966.
Rehearing Denied July 5, 1966.
*144 Nathan Greenberg, Gilbert P. Cohen, Gretna, for relator-appellee.
John J. Maxwell, Metairie, for defendant-appellant.
Before McBRIDE, YARRUT and CHASEZ, JJ.
YARRUT, Judge.
This is an appeal by the School Board from the judgment of the District Court ordering it to reinstate Relator to the position he held as Principal of the East Jefferson High School, from which position he was removed without formal charges or a hearing. At the time of his removal, Relator had served in the Jefferson Parish School system since 1949.
On February 16, 1966, at a special meeting of the School Board, Relator was removed as Principal of East Jefferson High School.The minutes of the meeting of the School Board disclose Relator was removed solely on the basis of a letter from the Superintendent of Jefferson Parish Schools, recommending his removal from office, without prior notice or hearing.
Relator holds both a Teacher's Certificate from the Louisiana Department of Education, dated June 20, 1940, and a Master's Degree in Education, dated June 23, 1953.
On February 18, 1966, Relator filed this suit to obtain reinstatement as Principal of East Jefferson High School until the School Board has complied with the provisions of the Teacher's Tenure Act, and particularly LSA-R.S. 17:443, relating to a hearing, appropriate written notice, right to confront and cross-examine witnesses, etc., reading as follows:
LSA-R.S. 17:442 provides, inter alia:
"Each teacher shall serve a probationary term of three years to


be reckoned from the date of his first appointment in the parish or city in which the teacher is serving his probation. During the probationary term the parish or city school board, as the case may be, may dismiss or discharge any probationary teacher upon the written recommendation of the parish or city superintendent of schools, as the case may be, accompanied by valid reasons therefor."
LSA-R.S. 17:443 provides, inter alia:
"A permanent teacher shall not be removed from office except upon written and signed charges of wilful neglect of duty, or incompetency or dishonesty, or of being a member of or of contributing to any group, organization, movement or corporation that is by law or injunction prohibited from operating in the state of Louisiana, or of advocating or inany manner performing any act toward bringing about integration of the races within the public school system or any public institution of higher learning of the state of Louisiana, and then only if found guilty after a hearing by the school board of the parish or city, as the case may be, which hearing may be private *145 or public, at the option of the teacher. At least fifteen days in advance of the date of the hearing', the school board shall furnish the teacher with a copy of the written charges. The teacher shall have the right to appear before the board with witnesses in his behalf and with counsel of his selection, all of whom shall be heard by the board at the said hearing. Nothing


herein contained shall impair the right of appeal to a court of competent jurisdiction."
The District Court ordered the School Board to reinstate Relator as Principal of East Jefferson High School, coupled with a preliminary injunction enjoining it from removing Relator as Principal "until such time as the School Board has complied with the provisions of the Teacher's Tenure Act, and more particularly, the provisions of LSA-R.S. 17:443 requiring a hearing before removal from office," cited supra.
Notwithstanding the above decrees, the School Board met and assigned Relator to the position of Supervisor of Child Welfare and Attendance, without first having rescinded his dismissal from the Office of Principal. Subsequently, on March 23, 1966, the Court made permanent the preliminary injunction.
At the hearing for the permanent injunction, the School Boardsought to show that the new position it had offered Relator (Supervisor of Child Welfare and Attendance) was a position of rank, dignity and pay equal to that of Principal of East Jefferson High School.
Relator's record as an employee of the School Board prior to the last appointment is as follows:
1. First employed by the Jefferson Parish School Board as a Junior High School Teacher (1949) at an annual salary of $5,000.00.
2. In September, 1957, appointed Principal of Airline Elementary School, at an annual salary of $7,140.80.
3. In August, 1964, appointed Principal of East Jefferson High School, at an annual salary of $11,123.27.
4. On February 16, 1966, removed as Principal of East Jefferson High School upon recommendation of the Superintendent of Schools, without formal charges and a hearing.
From


the School Teacher's Tenure statute, cited supra, Relator's probationary period expired three years after his original appointment in 1949 and, thereafter, he had permanent tenure status subject, under LSA-R.S. 17:443, to removal only for cause and in the manner set forth in the statute. The School Board had no right to remove Relator from his position as Principal without first giving him formal written charges and a hearing, as prescribed by the statute.
While the School Board has the right, ordinarily, to transfer Relator from his position as Principal of East Jefferson High School, to that of Supervisor of Child Welfare and Attendance, alleged to be of equal rank, dignity and compensation, his appointment to such office does not make moot his removal from the position of Principal ofEast Jefferson High School on the ground of incompetency, since such cause for removal, unless nullified by this Court, would constitute a permanent degrading of Relator and a blot on his record.
Under the circumstances, we must hold that the judgment of the District Court was correct in holding the School Board improperly removed Relator from his position as Principal of East Jefferson High School, but would have the right, after his reinstatement, to transfer him to any position of equal rank, dignity and compensation.
Accordingly, the judgment of the District Court, both on the hearings of the applications for preliminary and permanent injunctions and mandamus, ordering Relator to be restored to his position as Principal of East Jefferson High School, is affirmed *146 until Relator has been afforded a

"Thanks also goes to producers for supporting their gin," says Muller, "and to Chris. He's largely responsible for getting this crop ginned in record time. Modifications made to the gin along with his engineering capabilities and rapport with the gin employees made all the difference."

Birthing any new art form is about clearing ground, and building from zero. And German teacher-architect and visionary Walter Gropius did so in the Europe of the 1920s, with the teaching programme he introduced in the Staatliches Bauhaus, a new design school founded just after World War I, in 1919.

Due to its efforts, the house style of the rich – the highly ornamental Art Nouveau wrought-iron railings, smiling cherubs on the ceilings, elaborate stairways – was no longer high style or even aspirational for the street. The new look was greys and whites for interiors, simple industrial fixtures and concrete flat-roofed houses that let in light and air. Bauhaus also insisted on the unity between art and technology, and the cooperation among the


different disciplines of painting, industrial design, typography, and, of course, architecture.

Not architecture or engineering. According to Gropius, architecture begins “where engineering ends” but they feed off one another. In short, Bauhaus is the name of that enterprise through which Gropius tried to bring under one umbrella, the art of everything.

The Bauhaus takeover of Europe, then the Americas, and its spread in India from the ’40s to the ’80s, however, happened for a reason. Bauhaus’ battles, points out American critic Paul Goldberger, in an essay in The New York Times, were won not simply “for aesthetic reasons, but for economic ones”. After the two world wars, modern houses were cheaper to build. The reason they are still with us is that any architect can fall back on the basicBauhaus design philosophy – form must follow function – and build a striking, sturdy house.

A house is determined, said the Bauhaus teachers, by who would move into the building and what was going on inside.

Expressionist masters Paul Klee and Wassily Kandinsky, and other important artists of the European avant-garde, were some of the teachers associated with the Bauhaus school. Public and workers’ housing was also a key focus.

And all this made perfect sense to two young Indians sent by the British Indian government in the ’40s to the US. They were assigned to bring back new design thoughts suited to a country with limited resources and a huge population, and which, they knew would soon be an independent


nation in search of a new design language.

Achyut Kanvinde of Delhi and Habib Rahman of Bengal were both taught by Gropius at Harvard and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), where the German and other Bauhaus teachers had fled, to escape Hitler’s Germany.

At least a thousand buildings such as the The Indian Council for Cultural Relations in Delhi, and Nehru Science Centre, Mumbai, were built by Kanvinde, inspired by the Bauhaus philosophy. Rahman’s Bauhaus-inspired housing models were replicated in India’s cities in lakhs; his other projects, numbering around 150, included Rabindra Bhawan with the three National Akademis; the Calcutta Secretariat and the University Grants Commission of India in Delhi.

Kanvinde and Rahman brought Bauhaus, one ofthe most influential design movements of the 20th century, to India. They also brought “architectural modernism to India in the mainstream and public institutions, before Corbusier”, says architect Sanjay Kanvinde, the late Achyut Kanvinde’s son. “Rahman made Gandhi Ghat in 1949, Kanvinde’s first Bauhaus building, the Ahmedabad Textile Industry’s Research Association was conceived in 1950. Chandigarh, whose master plan was developed by Corbusier, had its main components completed in the ’60s.”

Kanvinde and Rahman: India’s early architecture modernists

In 1949, a curious structure on the banks of the Ganga near Calcutta awaited Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru’s nod. It had the profile of a temple tower, was topped with an Islamicate dome and a horizontal slab jutted out from both its sides, giving it the appearance of a cross. This was


latticed screen) to his otherwise modernist structure in Delhi; Kanvinde would always be hesitant to add ‘Indian elements’ to his buildings.

In a conversation between fellow architect Narendra Dengle and Kanvinde published in the Marg magazine, the latter had made his position amply clear: “Taking on grandfather’s clothes in the name of culture...that I am not agreeable to. Architecture must have its own clarity and purity.”

But when it came to government commissions, Kanvinde occasionally had to come up against a strong lobby resisting the straightforward adoption of the International Style, as Bauhaus was called in the countries that adopted it. Adding domes, chhatris and jaalis to the Indian Council for Cultural Relations (ICCR) in Delhi, as he had to, when he built it, went against his grain, says hisso common these days when architects draw attention to their own work in the hoardings.”

From Bauhaus, Kanvinde learnt to use space to express human values. “He rejected symmetry at the cost of function. He stayed on the side of modernism even when he built a temple,” says Sanjay Kanvinde.

And it was the same principle he adhered to when he designed the master plan of a city (Dronagiri Node, Navi Mumbai), or built dairies (such as the National Dairy Development Board Campus, Anand; Dudhsagar Dairy, Mehsana), campuses (University of Agricultural Sciences, Bangalore), a Jesuit school (St Xavier’s, Delhi), a stadium (Sher-e-Kashmir, Srinagar), the residence of a textile baron (Balkrishna Harivallabhdas), or his own. What he lived by, he had built.

Cold Spring, New York, my lovely Hudson River home, has long been a hotbed of environmental activism. In 1962, the utility Consolidated Edison announced plans to carve a power plant out of stately Storm King Mountain, just across the Hudson from Cold Spring. Locals filed lawsuits against the plant, arguing that it would devastate the landscape. In part because of the Storm King case, in 1969 Congress passed a law requiring builders to take environmental impact into consideration before beginning large projects. In 1980 Con Ed finally abandoned its Storm King plan.

Lately, my green neighbors have fought two other perceived threats: nuclear power and fracking. People in this area have long wanted to shut down the Indian Point nuclear power plant, which squats on the Hudson in Buchanan,New York, less than 10 miles south of Cold Spring and just 35 miles north of downtown New York City. In fact, today, October 15, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission is holding a hearing on whether to extend the license of Indian Point for 20 more years. Among the opponents of the extension is New York Governor Andrew Cuomo.

For a long time, I shared my neighbors' concerns about Indian Point, especially after September 11, 2001, when a jet flew right over Indian Point before striking the World Trade Center. What would have happened if the terrorists had flown the plane into Indian Point? I also worried that proliferation of nuclear power would complicate efforts to stem the proliferation of nuclear weapons. After President Barack Obama announced a plan in

beam. Guards for the cutters of the modules are arranged underneath the cutter bar side by side along the cutter bar. Each guard overlaps and bridges the seam between an adjacent pair of modules so as to increase the structural rigidity of the cutter bed. Each guard is attached at its front end to the noses of a pair of adjacent modules and at its rear end to the support beam to increase structural integrity in all directions. A second embodiment does not utilize a common support beam for the modules but instead relies upon the interconnections between adjacent modules and the bridging overlap of the guards to make the cutter bed rigid.

UNITED NATIONS (AP) -- Iraq's foreign minister says he doubts the escalating violence in the country will lead to "an all-out sectarian or civil war."

Hoshyar Zebari gave several reasons in an interview Saturday with The Associated Press: the Shiite, Sunni and other communities "know their limits;" the violence is limited mainly to Baghdad and its suburbs; and Sunni and Shiite religious leaders have edicts against killing each other's followers.

More than 4,500 people have been killed since April in a surge of violence by insurgents aimed at undermining confidence in the government. The growing unrest has intensified fears of renewed war between Shiites and


Man fired after wrestling shark from swimmers

Charity canned man after seeing video of heroic act, reports say

A man hailed as a hero after video surfaced on the Internet showing him wrestling a shark away from a group of swimmers is looking for a new job, according to reports.

Paul Mashallsea was on vacation in Australia in January when he heard the screams of beachgoers. The shark was then spotted nearby, Marshallsea told local media.

Video posted on YouTube shows Marshallsea running into the water and grabbing the shark by its tail.

Marshallsea dragged the shark into deeper water, away from the swimmers.However, when Marshallsea returned home to Wales, he learned of unpleasant news -- he'd been fired from the charity where he worked.

The charity, Pant and Dowlais Boy & Girls Club,sent Mashallsea a letter, saying he had lied about being on sick leave, according to Wales Online.

"Whilst unfit to work you were well enough to travel to Australia," the letter read."You allegedly grabbed a shark by the tail and narrowly missed being bitten by quickly jumping out of the way."

Marshallsea and his wife said they had worked for the charity for decades and they were disgusted by the charity's reaction.

"If I hadn't gone in to save the kids on that beach that day my wife and I would still have a job," Marshallsea told Wales Online. "You think being in charge and running a children's charity, they would have tapped me on the back."

Marshallsea said he'd been on leave since April because his job had become very stressful.

He
