SANTA CRUZ, Calif., Jan. 28 (UPI) -- A turf war over surf wear between a California community and a shop owner in another city has been resolved, a lawyer involved in the trademark dispute said.
Richard Sybert, who represents the tourism bureau in Huntington Beach, Calif., said a settlement with Flotsam of California Inc. in Santa Cruz over the "Surf City" designation will halt sales of T-shirts reading: "Surf City, Santa Cruz California, U.S.A." at the store, the Los Angeles Times reported Monday.
"My client is pleased at the resolution," he said. "The shirts will be changed and the challenge to my client's trademark dismissed."
Theodore Townsend Herhold, an attorney for Flotsam, confirmed the matter had been resolved.
"T-shirts will be on sale again, and we'll let everybody draw their own conclusions from that," he said.
Arrested man leaps four floors
Police were called to an apartment in Surfers Paradise yesterday afternoon following reports of a man armed with a sword. They discovered two men in a fourth floor unit, one of whom was allegedly using a drug utensil. Police arrested the pair but when they were distracted, one of them ran to a balcony and leapt over the railing into a pool below. The desperate leap was to no avail, with police catching up with him on a nearby esplanade. The man suffered only minor cuts.

Body floating in water at Bondi: report
Police have called off a search at Bondi Beach after it was reported that a body attached to a surfboard was floating in the water. A person driving past Bondi in a car contacted emergency services after they said they saw what they thought was the body about 7.30am. An ambulance helicopter, water police and council lifeguards on power-skis scoured the south end of the beach for about an hour but called off the search after finding nothing. "The search has been finalised ... because it was one person who was driving [past] at the time,'' Inspector Michael Flood from Waverley police said. .

LeftBlog: It's time to get rid of RedFlex
Enough is enough. That is it, the straw that broke the poor camels back. RedFlex must go, and Joey Durel must be made to account for his actions. In this past week news reports have surfaced that have finally pushed me over the edge with this program. Yes, we all want safer streets, we all want to live without road rage and without the careless violence on our streets, but this is not how we get there.
Even if you were to discount all of the scientific data that is out there that clearly illustrates that the program that is currently deployed in Lafayette completely betrays the stated goals of the political leadership the program is so terribly broken that it can never be fixed.
Here are my reasons (just a few that come to mind tonight mind you) that I feel RedFlex and this entire program must go.
Cruel sea takes lifesaver's life
THE flag above Fairhaven Surf Life Saving Club flew at half-mast yesterday, limp against its mast in the still air. At the club's bar beneath, they came as they were, in boardshorts and in thongs, some still salty and wet from the beach, to toast Tim Gates, a favourite son lost too soon. On the beach outside, nippers still paddled and played, and the surf, tiny and calm, rolled in. Only the shorebreak, dumping sand-coloured water on the long straight beach gave any hint of the dangers this stretch of coast can hold. But the dangers are there. Gates, 55, died early yesterday morning, three days after a freak boarding accident left him unconscious in the water. In tricky conditions, the champion lifesaver was teaching nippers to board-paddle when a wave dumped him, his head hitting the board.
'We shot down crusader Howard', says al-Qaeda
Today we see the withdrawal of another Christian ally leaving the Americans drowning alone in this swamp," the statement says in Arabic. "This ally is Australia, and despite the few numbers of soldiers that this country has in the Christian Alliance its withdrawal will be considered an achievement and victory to be added to the numerous victories of the Muslim fighters, praise Allah." Read full translation here The statement posted on December 5 last year – 11 days after the federal election – is filled with quotations from the Koran. It frames the conflict in religious terms rather than geo-political with emphasis placed on the crumbling Christian armies: "Hence when the cross and its allied corroborators exercise their muscles while a series of collapses of its allies and their withdrawals around the Americans continue these will be the result of painful blows to the Christians at the hands (of) Muslim fighters." The Jihad and Reform Front is made up of the Islamic Army in Iraq (IAI), the Mujahideen Army and the Group of the Protectors of Sunnah.
