| Saints stars go out on loan
SAINTS' financial problems came back to haunt them yesterday as they off-loaded star striker Grzegorz Rasiak and midfielder Rudi Skacel. Czech Skacel has gone to Bundesliga side Hertha Berlin on loan for the rest of the season with a view to a permanent move. Prolific Polish hitman Rasiak has joined Bolton on loan until the end of the season with a view to a permanent move. Rasiak and Skacel were two of the club's top earners. Raziak was believed to be on around £12,000 a week and Skacel is also on top wages. That saving in wages, combined with the potential fees for the two most expensive purchases in the Saints squad, proved too much for the cash-strapped club to turn down. Saints tried to put a brave face on the deal by saying it was also a way of easing the log-jam of strikers' but in reality it was another massive dent to their promotion hopes.

Teen isn't sure yet how experience as a monk has affected him
By Christine Clarridge McClatchy Newspapers SEATTLE - Michael Sa-Ngoun is no longer a monk.The 19-year-old from Tukwila, Wash., who spent two years in a Cambodian monastery because his mother was desperate to stop his self-destructive behavior, is not prone to deep philosophical meditation these days.He doesn't work very hard to resist the desires of most young men his age, nor does he seek humility at every turn.It took surprisingly little time, family members say, for him to turn back into a regular American young man after his return from Cambodia a little more than a year ago. .
Green program sprouting users
Response to new drop-off center prompts Detroit to try limited curbside recycling David Josar / The Detroit News DETROIT -- Pulling up to the warehouse near Wayne State in a Subaru emblazoned with political bumper stickers, Cara Golen drags a plastic bag from the back seat and sorts her collection of soy milk cartons, wine bottles and cat food tins. In the year since Recycle Here! received a $250,000 grant to run Detroit's recycling efforts, the number of residents who, like Golen, are going to the drop-off point on Holden has jumped from 45 people a week to more than 500. The response has been so tremendous that a pilot program is planned this year to offer limited curbside recycling -- a Detroit first -- in Rosedale Park. .
KARACHI: Blaze ravages paint factory in Site
KARACHI, Jan 23: A manufacturing unit of the Berger Paints went up in flames on Wednesday when the blaze blamed on chemicals stored in the factory turned into an inferno and made firefighting an uphill task.
Two of the employees with severe burns were admitted to the Civil Hospital Karachi, whereas five others were released after being treated at the Imam Zainul Abideen Hospital.
Gul Mohammad, a worker of the Berger Paints, said the fire started when two chemicals were being mixed in the production section of the factory. He and other workers rushed out of the factory when the fire alarms began ringing.
The blaze was so huge that clouds of thick black smoke billowing from the factory could be seen from all over the city.
Almost all the fire tenders of the city district government with the snorkels were employed in the fire-fighting operation.
