The U.S. military said 40 Shiite militants were killed in fierce fighting in southern Iraq. Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, meanwhile, assured visiting Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice that he will not back down in his confrontation with Shiite militias, even as mortar shells fired from Shiite areas struck the U.S.- protected Green Zone. In a sign of that resolve, Iraqi soldiers took control Sunday of the last strong- hold of al-Sadr’s Mahdi Army militia in the southern city of Basra, where an Iraqi offensive last month triggered the current wave of Shiite fighting. Al-Maliki, a Shiite, has demanded that al-Sadr disband his Mahdi Army, the country’s biggest Shiite militia, or his followers will not be allowed to run in provincial elections this fall. Al-Sadr’s followers, who control 30 of the 275 parliament seats, rejected that demand Sunday and instead called for an end to U.S.-Iraqi military operations in Sadr City, the Baghdad stronghold of the Mahdi Army, and Shula, another Shiite district of the capital. NATIONAL Student plotting to bomb high school arrested COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) – Authorities say an 18-year-old South Carolina student is behind bars after collecting the supplies needed to bomb his school.

By Sarah J. Cruz Daily Titan Staff Writer [email protected]
He stands on a surfboard, flying down the face of the wave. His shoulders are low and he leans back into the ride. The turquoise face of the wave rises up behind him, its red crest be- ginning to break overhead. To surfboard shapers Gato Heroi, this scene, “Salty Surf Free” depicts “innocent days” spent surfing. It is part of the “SOS Surfin’ USA” ex- hibit at Santa Ana's Grand Central Art Center. The center was created and funded by Cal State Fullerton's art degree program. Around the corner from the “Salty Surf Free” piece, another scene sits under dark blue lighting. It is strewn with the broken planks of a dilapi- dated pier. A man lays lifeless on his back, one leg draped over his deep purple surfboard. A bloody dagger of glass is held above the wound in his abdomen and bills of money lay around. This scene, called “Salty’s Souled Out,” depicts “surfing has been soul- ed to a dead sea,” according to the installation’s program. The installation is a series of scenes depicting figures interacting with hand-crafted surfboards by Gato Heroi, in various states of play or struggle. “SOS bills” signify the "enter- prise" of the surf culture. They are a commentary of the downfalls of mixing "enterprise" with surfing. The program leads visitors through the scenes, showcasing the one-of-a-kind boards in the midst of the story. It culminates in "See Free- dom" where a man sits in a tee pee. Orange light from a campfire fueled by "SOS bills" plays on the white cloth wall of the tee pee. Gato Heroi is a new board shaper from Costa Mesa. They combine original artwork with custom board design to create unusual and exotic boards. Their installation is complement- ed by the acrylic and oil paintings of artists Michael Knowlton and G. Ray Kerciu. Knowlton and Kerciu transport visitors to sunlit oceans and barreling waves. “It’s very expressive,” Paul Roman, a visitor to the exhibit, said. “Espe- cially this one,” he said, pointing to a piece by Michael Knowlton. “It’s By Sarah j. cruz/Daily Titan Staff Writer very colorful and realistic.” Knowlton’s paintings depict ter represents the rush, the calmness sor, according to gallery assistant glassy waves with sunlight reflected within.
