17-Year-Old Girl Suffers Thousands of Jellyfish Stings During 14-Hour Swim Across Cook Strait

Maya Merhige, a 17-year-old American swimmer, braved through the pain during a 27-mile swim across the Cook Strait in New Zealand. Shortly after completing her journey, Merhige told CNN that she was "constantly" being stung by jellyfish during the swim — so much so that she "eventually stopped counting" the stings.

Anthony Bailey

Anthony Bailey Updated: 01:49, 8 April 2011 Further to a column by freelance commentator Mark Seddon on 28 August 2010 we wish to clarify that an accusation of blackmail against Anthony Bailey OBE was thrown out by a magistrate's court in 1995, which concluded that his accuser was himself 'a fraud and an imposter'.

Firefighters Updated: 22:00, 18 April 2011 Our 28th October article last year 'Striking firemen want £10,000 pay rise' mentioned that 'fire crews could already expect to pocket up to £50,000 a year after overtime.' We would like to clarify that this top sum referred to what a senior manager might expect to earn. We are sorry if this was misunderstood.
