NEWS NEAR & FAR
INTERNATIONAL
1. Government collapses amid financial turmoil
REYKJAVIK, Iceland — Iceland's coalition government collapsed on Monday after an unprecedented wave of public dissent, plunging the island nation into political turmoil as it seeks to rebuild an economy shattered by the global financial crisis.
Iceland has been mired in crisis since October, when the country's banks collapsed under the weight of debts amassed during years of rapid expansion.
Haarde's government has nationalized banks and negotiated about $10 billion in bailout loans from the International Monetary Fund and individual countries.
2. Muslim council bans Hindu aspects of yoga
JAKARTA, Indonesia — Muslims in Indonesia are banned from practicing yoga that contains Hindu rituals like chanting, the country's top Islamic body said Monday, echoing concerns by some religious groups elsewhere about its effect on their faith.
Cleric Mar'uf Amin said the Ulema Council issued its ruling over the weekend after investigators visited gyms and private yoga classes across the sprawling nation.
Amir said those performing yoga purely for health or sport reasons will not be affected.
But yoga practitioners immediately criticized the decision.
The Ulema Council decided to investigate the need for a yoga ban after religious authorities in neighboring Malaysia issued their own fatwa late last year.
Many people there protested, insisting they had been performing yoga for years without losing their faith. Eventually, even Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi had to step in, assuring Malaysians they could continue with the exercises as long as they didn't chant.
3. Iranian group removed from EU's terror listing
The decision by the 27-nation bloc's foreign ministers means that as of Tuesday, the assets of the People's Mujahedeen Organization of Iran, or PMOI, will be unfrozen. It is the first time an organization has been "de-listed" by the EU.
BRUSSELS, Belgium — The European Union decided Monday to remove an irian opposition group from the EU's terror list and lift the restrictions on its funds.
Iran condemned the decision as a promotion of terrorism, and France appealed it.
NATIONAL 4. Man with unpaid bills freezes inside his home
BAY CITY, Mich. — A 93-year-old man froze to death inside his home just days after the municipal power company restricted his use of electricity because of unpaid bills, officials said.
Neighbors discovered Marvin Schur's body on Jan. 17. They said the indoor temperature was below 32 degrees at the time, The Bay City Times reported Monday.
Schur owed Bay City Electric Light & Power more than $1,000 in unpaid electric bills, Bay City Manager Robert Belleman told The Associated Press on Monday.
Schur's body was discovered by neighbor Gaup Pewls Jr.
"His furnace was not running. The insides of his windows were full of ice the morning we found him," Pauwels told the newspaper
5. Moussaoui's lawyer says government held evidence
RICHMOND, Va. — Zacarias Moussaoui's guilty plea in the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks was invalid because the government failed to turn over evidence that could have helped his defense, his attorney told a federal appeals court Monday.
Justin Anonipilia urged a three judge panel of the 4th U.S.
Circuit Court of Appeals to throw out the plea and order a new trial for Moussaoui, who once claimed to be part of the 2001 conspiracy but has since changed his story. Moussaoui was sentenced to life in prison.
"This evidence was absolutely critical to the defense," Antonipillai said.
The prosecutor said Moussaoul knew the gist of the evidence that was being withheld and pleaded guilty against the advice of his lawyers.
6. New York Times,
Boston Globe settle case
BOSTON — A settlement has been reached in a closely watched lawsuit brought after The Boston Globe's Web site began posting headlines and lead sentences from another publisher's site, a court official said Monday.
A clerk for U.S. District Judge William Young said GateHouse Media Inc., which owns several Massachusetts dailies, and The New York Times Co., the parent company of The Boston Globe, reached an agreement during the weekend.
News organizations and bloggers had said the case could have far-reaching implications for determining how much content one news organization or Web site can use from another.

Ian Sadler grew up watching Jacque Vaughn and Jerod Haase play basketball in Allen Fieldhouse at the University of Kansas. Now, as Sadler sits behind the PA microphone in that same arena for a women's basketball game, what was once a dream has become reality.
For Sadler, being a part of the Athletics Department wasn't necessarily in the cards when he was young.
Ian Sander, Emporia junior, announces winners during a swim meet in Robinson Nathanatorium on Jan. 24. Sander is also announcer for Kansas women's basketball, volleyball and baseball.
"As a kid, Kansas Athletics was the ultimate," Sadler said, "and now to think that I am a part of that is really something special."
"As a kid growing up, it was go to Emporia State, graduate, and live there all your life," Sadler said. "There was nothing else."
Since last fall, Sadler, Emporia junior, has been the PA voice for women's basketball, volleyball, swimming and diving, and baseball.
And last spring, as a sophomore at Emporia State, he was well on that path and even had his own call-in radio program.
After some help from the Emporia State athletic director, Sadler had the opportunity to transfer to Kansas and start his
"Radio was nice and everything, but I knew that wasn't what I wanted to do with my life." Sadler said.
dream of working in sports. He now majors in sports management and also works for Event and Facilities Management, an organization that works with the athletics department to coordinate events.
Because of his previous radio experience, Sadler was a shoo-in for the announcing job with the athletics department.
Matt Baty, marketing manager for
Event and Facilities Management, works closely with Sadler and was impressed the first time he heard him announce.
"He is so comfortable with the mic," Baty said. "The thing is in sports you can't really predict situations. Ian is really good with impromptu and is quick on his feet, which is important in this job."

EMPLOYMENT Pharmacy school holds career fair at Holiday Inn
The School of Pharmacy will host its annual Senior Pharmacy Student Career Placement Day and Undergraduate Pharmacy Student Career Information Fair today from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Lawrence Holiday Inn Hotel, 200 McDonald Drive.
Forty-two employers from across the nation, including Walgreens and the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., will be searching to hire pharmacists and summer interns.
"There are more openings than there are graduates," Hotchkiss said.
Approximately 80 Spring 2009 doctor of pharmacy candidates and 100 undergraduate students are expected to attend the job fair. Jobs are available in hospitals, the pharmaceutical industry and many kinds of pharmacies.
"They're all going to get multiple job offers," said Gene Hotchkiss, associate dean of the School of Pharmacy. "There is a huge shortage of pharmacists."
- Lauren Hendrick
Hotchkiss said 20 percent of the graduating class was pursuing postgraduate education and many of those graduates would be able to finish their education with residency training opportunities.
