| 'Girls Gone Wild' Boss Arrested
"Girls Gone Wild" creator Joe Francis was arrested at Panama City airport in Florida in the early hours of Tuesday morning. Francis, who created the best-selling "Girls Gone Wild" DVD and video series, was taken into custody at 6:30 am local time on a warrant seeking his arrest for contempt of court. U.S. District Judge Richard Smoak ordered his arrest last week, saying the 34-year-old should be jailed until he agrees to participate in mediation talks aimed at ending a four-year legal battle with seven underage women, who sued the "Girls Gone Wild" boss after he filmed them in sexual situations. Francis stormed out of a court hearing in March and failed to attend an emergency court hearing last Wednesday. .
Arbitration Law in England and applicability in Sri Lanka in terms ...
England as a major trading nation developed arbitration law since mid 1880 in order to meet the needs of the commercial men. International trade was the lifeblood of many industries and the problems with the enforcement of judgements abroad and the problems with the conflict of laws arising from private international law led to sophisticated developments in arbitration law. Dispute resolution by way of arbitration in England has existed for as long as the common law was in practice. It is only recently that there has developed a distinct branch of jurisprudence termed arbitration law. Arbitration is a consensual process. It is possible to go through the process of arbitration without interference from the court system. But it is safer to get court involved for easy implementation of the decisions arrived by the arbitration tribunal.

Kansas Relays run along with fewer marquee names
LAWRENCE | No, Maurice Greene will not be here today at the Kansas Relays. He's not competing in this meet, where he's been a headliner several times. But there is still some top talent in today's elite events. Among the biggest names are Allyson Felix, 2004 Olympic silver medalist in the 200 meters, and Central graduate Muna Lee, who was a finalist in the 2004 Olympic 200. Both are competing today in the women's invitational 400-meter relay about 2:20 p.m., a race in which they will team with Virginia Powell and Tianna Madison. Felix is also scheduled to run in the women's invitational 100 about 3:40 p.m. "I always have fun coming back home," Lee said Friday as she and other elite performers met with reporters at Memorial Stadium. Last year at the KU Relays, Felix was first and Lee second in the women's invitational 100.
Charlie's pours out $20000 in employment dispute
A woman who said her boss regarded her pregnancy as an obstacle to her advancement has missed out on her personal grievance claim for discrimination and distress. But the Employment Relations Authority (ERA) has awarded Nicky McFarlane $20,000 in wage arrears and compensation for losing the use of her company car. Mrs McFarlane, national sales manager for Charlie's juices, took a personal grievance case for unjustifiable disadvantage to the authority after she and the company were unable to resolve problems between her and Stefan Lepionka at mediation. She was appointed to her position in July 2004. She said that in January 2006 Mr Lepionka told her her position might no longer exist and she might have a regional sales manager role. "She says that when she protested about not being consulted, Mr Lepionka said if she did not like it she should not have got pregnant," ERA member Leon Robinson said in his adjudication.
