An employee for the city of St. Louis has the right to a hearing before the Civil Service Commission to contest a four-day suspension imposed on him two years ago, a state appeals court said.
The employee, Phillip Sapp, was a city corrections officer when on Dec. 5, 2007, he reported an inmate count of 79 when it was later determined there were 80 inmates in his assigned housing unit. But Sapp hadn't physically counted the inmates, which violated Division of Corrections policies.

CHICAGO - Carlos Pena's first - and maybe only - season with the Chicago Cubs ended like so many others for a franchise that has stretched its drought without a World Series title to a mind- boggling 103 years.
Sloppy baseball, capped by a 71-91 record, plus the firing of longtime general manager Jim Hendry and the suspension of right- hander Carlos Zambrano, whose latest antics may have finally ended his tenure with the team.

Patrick Kaleta spent the eight days leading up to Saturday's game in Boston watching film, skating extra at the end of practice and getting his body healthy for the rest of the Sabres' season. Because of a four-game suspension, the Buffalo right winger couldn't do much else.
Suspensions, in this case for a headbutt to Philadelphia's Jakub Voracek, are meant to be a deterrent to future infractions. Coach Lindy Ruff hopes the time away will deter Kaleta from doing anything else that earns another call from the NHL.

CHICAGO - Cubs right-hander Carlos Zambrano will sit out the rest of the season after his 30-day suspension ends after games of Sept. 11.
The Cubs said Friday they'll pay Zambrano after the suspension ends but there's insufficient time for him to get ready to pitch again. The Cubs also said a grievance filed on Zambrano's behalf will be processed by the players' union, Major League Baseball and the team during the offseason.

Just two days into UCLA's fall camp and coach Rick Neuheisel probably already wants to crawl into a hole.
A day after Neuheisel announced the one-game suspension of right tackle Mike Harris because of a violation of team rules, things went from bad to worse. Starting defensive end Datone Jones suffered a broken right foot in Tuesday's practice, and Neuheisel confirmed that projected starting left tackle Jeff Baca could be academically ineligible for the 2010 season.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., Feb. 26 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Focus on the Family applauded the nation's largest radio station chain today for its decision to establish and enforce a "zero-tolerance" policy toward broadcast indecency -- and to take off the air two of the medium's most egregious violators of decency standards.
Clear Channel's decision to prohibit indecency is a significant step toward cleaning up our public airwaves," said Daniel Weiss, Focus on the Family's media and sexuality analyst. "If strictly enforced, this move will ensure that content on more than 1,200 radio stations nationwide will again be acceptable and legal. The days of shock-jocks terrorizing our community standards may be coming to an end.
