Ashburn, Va. -- Defensive lineman Albert Haynesworth has been suspended without pay for the rest of the season by the Washington Redskins, the team said Tuesday.
The Redskins issued a release charging Haynesworth, who signed a seven-year, $100 million contract with the team in 2009, with "conduct detrimental to the club."
Haynesworth has been unhappy with the Redskins since Mike Shanahan was hired as the team's coach last January and instituted a new defensive scheme. Haynesworth was late to report to training camp and has appeared in eight of Washington's games this season.

Charlotte, N.C. -- His motor mouth and slow feet got Charlotte Bobcats guard Stephen Jackson suspended without pay for one game.
Stu Jackson, NBA executive vice president for basketball operations, said Tuesday Jackson was disciplined for verbally abusing a game official and failing to leave the court in a timely manner after being ejected in the first quarter of Charlotte's Saturday loss to Milwaukee.
The suspension means Jackson will miss the Bobcats' game at New Orleans Wednesday.

Los Angeles -- Actor Adrien Brody is suing the producers of "Giallo," a horror movie he shot two years ago in Italy, claiming they owe him $640,000, court record show.
Martin Barab, a lawyer for Hannibal Pictures, one of the defendants named in the suit, told CNN Brody has been paid $960,000 for his work, but is still owed the rest of his $1.5 million fee.
The lawsuit, filed in federal court in California, alleges funding for the project fell through and Brody's renegotiated contract "expressly granted the absolute right to withhold consent to the use of his likeness in the picture until he was paid the full amount of the $640,000 that he deferred," CNN said.

Fort Lauderdale, Fla. -- Airline passengers who want more legroom on flights might have to pay an extra $100 to get it, an industry watchdog group said.
Some discount airlines also eliminated the seat recline function so they can install additional seats to generate more revenue, the South Florida Sun Sentinel reported.
"If you're a low-cost carrier, you have to look at these moves" to stay price-competitive, said Matt Daimler, founder of SeatGuru.com, which tracks airline seating information.
Flights where seat rows are spaced farther apart can add up to 2 inches of legroom and passengers who desire the extra space might have to pay as much as $100 for the luxury, the report said.

Los Angeles -- Actor Mel Gibson has told a Los Angeles court he spends about $600,000 a month, but should pay only $6,000 a month for child support, RadarOnline.com reports.
Gibson is locked in a legal battle with ex-girlfriend Oksana Gregorieva over child support for their 9-month-old daughter, Lucia. The Russian pianist, now in Malibu, wants a state judge to increase that payment.
The report said the "Lethal Weapon" actor may be still hurting from his divorce from his first wife Robyn because there was no prenuptial agreement.

Washington -- The U.S. House voted Tuesday to block a scheduled $1,600 annual pay raise for members of Congress next year, while one member called for a 5 percent pay cut.
The bill passed by the House Tuesday is similar to a measure the Senate approved in a unanimous vote last week, The Washington Post reported. It would maintain congressional pay at its current level of $174,000 per year, saving taxpayers about $1 million annually, the newspaper said.
Congressional pay raises are triggered automatically if Congress does not vote to reject them, a step that is not uncommon in election years, the report said.

While a small business, seeing red in the recession, might already be shortlisting the dubious employees and making plans accordingly, these are actually the best times to strengthen relationships with employees.
The recession is a time of mounting unemployment, mourning workers, costly training and low profits—a time when employee retention is of critical importance.
