LONDON (AP) — Max Clifford, once one of the most powerful figures in the British entertainment world, was found guilty Monday of eight counts of indecent assault stemming from attacks on teenagers dating back more than 40 years.
He was known as a confidante of the stars and counted on by many celebrities to manage their careers during times of crisis. He represented TV mogul Simon Cowell and advised countless others on public relations strategy and damage control.
Prosecutors charged in Southwark Crown Court that he lured young girls into sex by offering them acting roles, including in the hit TV soap opera "Dynasty."
Peter Watt, director of a national child protection group, said Clifford had "rightly been unmasked as a ruthless and manipulative sex offender."
In one case, Clifford was found guilty of repeatedly abusing a 15-year-old girl after he became friends with her family in Spain in 1977. She said he convinced her parents he could make her a star before taking her out in his car and sexually abusing her.
Prosecutor Jenny Hopkins said the verdicts "provide a long-denied justice to the victims of serious sexual offenses."
A London jury also cleared Clifford, 71, of two counts of indecent assault and was unable to reach a decision on another count after more than a week of deliberations. He will be sentenced Friday.
Clifford's trial followed the arrests of other high-profile show business figures accused of sex abuse dating back decades. The investigations started when British police launched "Operation Yewtree" to investigate child sex abuse after a scandal surrounding late BBC entertainer Jimmy Savile.
Savile, one of Britain's best-known TV presenters, was named by police as a "prolific" sexual predator who used his fame to target hundreds of teenagers over five decades. The allegations surfaced after Savile died in October 2011.
More than a dozen other show business personalities have been arrested as part of the Yewtree probe. They include veteran entertainer Rolf Harris, 84, who has denied charges of assaulting four girls from the 1960s to the 80s. He goes on trial later this week.
Former BBC radio DJ Dave Lee Travis, 68, is fighting a charge of indecent assault on a woman in 1995, months after he was cleared of 12 other counts of indecent assault.

Way too lazy for formula
Ellen - THANK YOU for your story. I am slowly accepting the fact that I may just have to supplement. Honestly, before I got pregnant I never even thought about BF, and then I took a mindful birthing class and it all just made sense to me. Now that I have done it for 8 (almost 9) months I am so very proud of my self and I adore my bf relationship with my daughter. BUT I dispise my pump. With that being said, i have told myself I will continue to pump 3 times a day at work and once in the evening (and as much voer each weekend as possible without disrupting enjoyment of time with my family) until she is 12 months old or I simply dont produce any more. If i must supplement a few OZ a day it certainly is NOT the end of the world because I have easily worked myself into a total anxiety ridden mess about making sure I have enough milk and I cannot do that again.
And yes, i smelled like syrup and my husband even noticed that, well, I tasted like it So there was pleanty in my system!
I am excited to pick up the pump on saturday and see what happens! I will keep you ladies updated.
Don't think about supplementing. If you have to, oh well. But first, try this other pump. Don't simply give up and accept it. I do understand how frustrating it is...I have been EPing for almost 18 months now. It wasn't until my cycle returned that I had a lot of trouble with supply. Those hormones can sure get you.
Are your horns the right size?
ETA: you are almost close enough that if you had to, you could do one cup of milk once a day. I know what everyone says -- none until 12 months -- but IMHO, if a baby is eating solids well at 10 months, what exactly is the harm of a little milk? I did it with my last baby, and he did well. It took some of the pressure off me to pump 4 times a day instead of 6.

You ladies really do rock
I dont plan to supplement. BUT, I tell myself that it is NOT the end of the world if I have to and that takes some of the pressure off me and that seems to help a tiny bit!
I was supposed to go to Salt Lake City for work at the end of this month for an entire week, that had me stressed to the hilt for MONTHS because I knew I didnt have the freezer stash and the logistics of pumping at a trade show and getting the milk back home to sweet baby girl would be a nightmare. Not to mention that I am NOT ready to leave her, she will be just 9 months old and has never been away from me for the night (only had one night where I was away for bed time!). I finally told my bosses I simply could NOT do the trip and thankfully they were 100% supportive. Taking that stressor off me was the biggest relief.
Anyways, sorry, that was a bit of a side story there! I get my pump tomorrow and cant wait to get home and give it a try. I HOPE I can stay close to home this weekend and pump pump pump. My husband is home so he can entertain claire while I am hooked up! Hopefully I can start a good stash for the week
GOOD LUCK! Keep us posted!
Way too lazy for formula
also a few more suggestions:
1. try a different size size horn if at all possible, I ended up needing two different sizes one size for each breast.
2. try distracting yourself while pumping, this was huge for me starting at about 8 months I had to distract myself completely from the pump, I started reading fiction, cheesy stuff, nothing serious or depressing
and stay positive
Moma to *Silas* 10-30-07
Well I picked up my medela symphony on Saturday. I pumped once on saturday and three times on Sunday (amongst nursing sessions) and I managed to eek out a grand total of 8 oz. I needed 6 of those today to put with the 6 I had pumped on Friday. So I started off today with a 2oz stash to put with what I have pumped. I have gotten two out of three pump sessions in and have a grand total of 5oz. About 5. to .75 oz more then what I had gotten at this time a day last week. So, I guess it is an improvement but not the magic I had hoped to see I will pump again before bed tonight and hopefully only need to use 1 bag of frozen tomorrow instead of two. I only have enpugh frozen to last me this week so I am not sure what to do come Monday of next week
I really have to weigh my options, I could add in a pump in the wee hours of the morning and before I get claire up for the day but I am truely in fear that my supply is tanking and that if I pump she may not have enough when she wakes up to eat. Throw on the lack of sleep and I need to see if its really worth it to me and my family, sanity wise.
It can take 7-14 DAYS before you notice any difference via pumping.

Since the Isle of Man TT, I have been hearing some talk about MotoCzysz developing some performance pieces for mainstream market consumption. Since the MotoCzysz crew is now busy making electrons go faster than the speed of light, the obvious candidate for the rumor would seem to be the company's 6x-flex fork, which was originally tested on a Honda CBR1000RR and would only need some basic adjustments in order to fit modern dinosaur-burning motorcycles.
While I chalked the rumors up to conjecture, there appears to be some truth to the matter, as MotoCzysz was recently up at Portland International Raceway doing some testing. We assume the testing time was for the 2012 MotoCzysz E1pc, which is set to make its track debut this weekend for the e-Power/TTXGP round at Laguna Seca. Tweeting about the test, MotoCzysz let it drop that "performance parts [for] your bike" would be announced soon. Schwing!

If you're one of the few people who saw Michael B. Jordan and Miles Teller trading quips and bro-ing down in "That Awkward Moment," you'll already have a sense of their easy chemistry. The rest of us will have another chance to see them palling around — this time presumably in spandex bodysuits — in the upcoming "Fantastic Four" reboot.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, Jordan and Teller are in final negotiations to star in the new movie as the flame-powered Human Torch and the elastic genius Mr. Fantastic, respectively. Kate Mara is also being tapped to play the Invisible Woman, and Jamie Bell is eyeing the rocky strongman the Thing.
Josh Trank, who directed Jordan in the superpower-themed found-footage movie "Chronicle," will helm the new "Fantastic Four."
PHOTOS: Billion-dollar movie club
If the casting holds, Jordan and Teller will no doubt hope for a better outing than they had with "That Awkward Moment." That film's performance has been less than super, grossing a modest $9 million on its opening weekend and failing to impress critics.
Despite "That Awkward Moment's" underperformance, a number of critics had good things to say about Teller and Jordan's work in the film, and the two actors have otherwise been hailed as rising stars.
Jordan had a breakthrough role on the HBO series "The Wire" and earned widespread critical acclaim last year with his performance as Oscar Grant in the fact-based drama "Fruitvale Station," about the killing of a young African-American man by transit police in Oakland.
Teller similarly received strong notices last year for his performance as a charming but troubled high school senior in the coming-of-age film "The Spectacular Now." His upcoming film "Whiplash," about the fraught relationship between teacher and student at a New York music school, was the talk of the Sundance Film Festival, where it took top audience and grand jury awards.
If the "Fantastic Four" reboot succeeds, it could spawn a blockbuster franchise and launch Teller and Jordan to mainstream stardom. It could also prove "Awkward Moment" to have been just that in their careers.

Stock futures edged higher on Monday after a five-session losing streak as political leaders in Washington worked against the clock to keep the United States from going over the "fiscal cliff."
Negotiations continued between top lawmakers and the White House on how to head off $600 billion in automatic tax hikes and spending cuts that kick in January 1 and could drag the economy in recession.
Continue Reading Below
The lack of panic on markets so far suggests investors still expect officials to find a solution to the budget problems early in the New Year. The measures that kick in on January 1 will have only a gradual impact.
The Democrat-controlled Senate reconvenes on Monday with only hours to find a legislative solution, most likely a stop-gap deal, that would also have to be passed by the Republican-majority House of Representatives.
Despite the gains in futures, stocks still could fall on Monday when the cash markets open if there is no sign lawmakers are making progress.
"I expect today's move to be exaggerated considering that it will be a light volume day. The market is hopeful that there will be some kind of temporary fix here, so if we don't see a deal here, not even a mini deal, I suspect the market could sell off," said Peter Cardillo, chief market analyst for Rockwell Global Capital in New York.
While midnight on Monday marks the deadline for a deal, the government can pass legislation in 2013 that retroactively prevents the United States going over the fiscal cliff, an option that is viewed as politically easier.
S&P 500 futures rose 3 points and were above fair value, a formula that evaluates pricing by taking into account interest rates, dividends and time to expiration on the contract. Dow Jones industrial average futures added 23 points, while Nasdaq 100 futures dropped 2.5 points.
European markets were slightly down on Monday morning, although trading was muted as markets in Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Denmark, Norway, and Sweden were closed while British, French, Dutch and Spanish markets were only open for half a session.
U.S. stocks dropped on Friday, with significant losses in the last minutes of trading, as prospects for a deal worsened at the beginning of the weekend.
The S&P 500 closed at 1,402.43 at 4 p.m. on Friday, down 1.1 percent, but futures continued to fall before closing 15 minutes later with a loss of 1.9 percent. S&P futures and the S&P cash index do not match point-by-point, but the size of the disparity on Monday points to a weak opening in stocks.
On Sunday, President Barack Obama, appearing on NBC's "Meet the Press," said investors could begin to show greater concerns in the new year.
Investors have remained relatively sanguine about the process, believing it will eventually be solved. In the past two months markets have not shown the kind of volatility that was present during the fight to raise the debt ceiling in 2011.
Rather, equities have largely performed well in the last two months despite constant chatter about the fiscal cliff, though the last few days showed increased worry. The Dow industrials and the S&P 500 each lost 1.9 percent last week after stocks fell for five straight sessions, which marked the S&P 500's longest losing streak in three months.
The CBOE Volatility Index rose to its highest level since June on Friday, closing at 22.72.

Weal's power-play goal lifts Monarchs to road win
February 23. 2013 10:30PM
Jordan Weal's power-play goal at 2:32 of the third period snapped a tie and gave the Manchester Monarchs a 3-2 American Hockey League victory over the Bridgeport Sound Tigers in Connecticut Saturday night.
The win, Manchester's second straight, improved the Monarchs record to 24-24-5. The Monarchs are in fourth place in the Eastern Conference's Atlantic Division with 53 points.
Worcester remained a point ahead of Manchester in third place by virtue of its 4-1 win over the Portland Pirates Saturday.
With the game knotted at 2-2 and Manchester skating with the man advantage, Weal benefitted from the play of David Kolomatis and Brandon Kozun, and pushed the puck past Sound Tigers goalie Kenny Reiter for the game-deciding goal. It was Weal's eighth of the season in a Monarchs jersey.
Bridgeport led 2-1 six minutes into the middle period before Monarchs all-star Tyler Toffoli tied the game at 2-2, also on a power play. Tanner Pearson and Nick Deslauriers did the digging for Toffoli's 26th strike of the season.
Bridgeport's Matt Donovan gave the hosts a 1-0 first period lead when he beat Monarchs goalie Martin Jones 7:45 into the game.
Manchester newcomer Colton Yellow Horn tied the game at 1-1 with his second of the campaign at 1:52 of the second. Kozun and Vincent LoVerdi assisted.
The Sound Tigers went ahead once again behind Mike Halmo's third of the year at 6:27 of the middle period.
Jones, who stopped 35 of the 37 shots directed his way, pitched a shutout the rest of the way. He was especially focused on the six Bridgeport power play opportunities, denying the Sound Tigers on each.
Manchester was two for six with the extra skater.
Skaters from both teams were whistled for 14 infractions including two fighting and one unsportsmanlike conduct (Halmo) penalty.
Reiter made 32 saves.
The Monarchs travel to Maine this afternoon for a 4 p.m. face off with Atlantic Division rival Portland before motoring for a two-game Friday-Saturday series with the St. John's Ice Caps in Newfoundland. Manchester's next date at the Verizon Wireless Arena is Wednesday, March 6, with the Sound Tigers.

Great for capping your own powders and making your own blends! I use these so I don't have the hassle of having to mix powders at work before my work out later on.
"I brought these to make up my own BCAA Capsules - Ok, I need more to get the same 5g benefit than if I mixed it with water - but as I cant stand the taste of BCAA powder mixed - for me this is a great option. I set them up on a Sunday afternoon watching films with the Mrs - I can generally make 500 caps during a film - takes a few goes to get used to it and making sure you have everything ready to hand is beneficial, but the savings and ease of you once made is fantastic. For BCAA 5g hit - you need to make about 8 capsules - so 16 of these in a day to get the 10g recommended dose - 5g before and 5g after workout - they seem to dissolve in me pretty quick so no faults there. Would recommend for anyone who wants to make up their own pill form supplement - get the capsule maker as well - its not as bad as some of the reviews say. Would recommend"
4 caps = 1 MP small scoop (this is using creatine CEE but should be relevant to other powders). \r\n\r\nFit capping machine perfectly. I put a moisture absorbing packet with the caps to stop moisture from making them swell in size.

DAHLONEGA, Ga. – Saturday's rematch between the King University Tornado and the North Georgia University Saints seemed to be over by the third inning but an eight-run fourth renewed the dual. The Saints immediate response with a three-run third was enough distance that the Tornado could not make up, leading to an 11-9 decision in the hosts favor. King is now 3-2 on the season and will complete the series against NGU on Sunday at 12 noon from Bob Stein Stadium.
North Georgia plated eight runs over the first three innings against King starter Reiss Stanley (Lenoir City, Tenn.), including a five-run opening frame. The Saints scored all five runs with two outs with run-scoring base hits by Devin Gearhart, Brett Wright, Eason Spivey, and Derek Hooper in succession. The inning ended when left fielder Tyler Gaby (Bristol, Tenn.) pegged Hooper at second base as he attempted to stretch the hit into a double.
With three more runs over the next two innings, the Saints built an eight-run lead before the Tornado could register a hit against starting pitcher Jacob Beauchamp. The second time around the order proved more successful as King erased NGU's 8-0 lead and batted around the lineup.
The Tornado belted a pair of home runs with Stephen Mullins (Bluff City, Tenn./Tennessee H.S.) beginning the scoring. The sophomore returned to his All-Conference form by belting a one-out, two-run homer to start chipping into North Georgia's lead. A pair of walks and a single later, junior Garrett Cook (Luray, Va.) stepped to the plate and cleared the bases with one swing of the bat, cranking his first home run of the season with a grand slam to cut the lead to two runs, 8-6.
The rally continued as Beauchamp's control failed to regain itself. He was lifted for reliever AGAR but three walks helped push one more King run home and created an early exit after retiring just one batter. Clint Spratlin (1-0) entered the game and immediately issued the seventh walk of the inning to plate one more run and tie the game, 8-8.
North Georgia settled down and the bullpen guided the Saints the rest of the way, allowing on one run to the Tornado over the remaining five innings. King mustered only three hits and left four men in scoring position over that time. Their lone run came in the top of the seventh when Cook recorded his fifth RBI with a double to right center field. King left the bases loaded in the top of the ninth after John Lamay struck out Geoffrey Cieslewitz looking to end the game.
Cook led the Tornado with a 2-for-5 day at the plate and recorded five RBI on the day. Mullins went 2-for-4 and plated three runs. Martin finished the game on the mound for King, tossing five complete innings and retiring 16 of the 18 batters he faced, including two strikeouts.
King (3-2) will complete the series with North Georgia on Sunday, Feb. 10. The rubber match will begin at 12 noon at Bob Stein Stadium.

This book brings together the academic fields of educational leadership, educational administration, strategic change management, and Indigenous education in order to provide a critical, multi-perspective, systems level analysis of the provision of education services to Indigenous people. It draws on a range of theorists across these fields internationally, mobilising social exchange and intelligent complex adaptive systems theories to address the key problematic of intergenerational, educational failure. Ma Rhea establishes the basis for an Indigenous rights approach to the state provision of education to Indigenous peoples that includes recognition of their distinctive economic, linguistic and cultural rights within complex, globalized, postcolonial education systems. The book problematizes the central concept of a partnership between Indigenous people and non-Indigenous school leaders, staff and government policy makers, even as it holds this key concept at its centre. The infantilising of Indigenous communities and Indigenous people can take priority over the education of their children in the modern state; this book offers an argument for a profound rethinking of the leadership and management of Indigenous education. Leading and Managing Indigenous Education in the Postcolonial World will be of value to researchers and postgraduate students focusing on Indigenous education, as well as teachers, education administrators and bureaucrats, sociologists of education, Indigenous education specialists, and those in international and comparative education.Zane Ma Rhea.

text: Student Profiles Sarah Jennings Fick Sarah Jennings Fick Hometown: Wilmington, Delaware Major: Double Major in Biology and Environmental Studies; Education minor Why did you come to Bowdoin? I have always loved the outdoors, so I knew I wanted to be in a place near the mountains. While Bowdoin was actually further from the mountains than any other school I applied to, it also has great academics, a beautiful campus, and is small enough that you're a face not a number. I was sold. Why did you decide on your major? I was always the environmental kid in my high school. So my first semester here I took the Introduction to Environmental Studies class. It was a very large class, one of the biggest I've had, with 45 people. It was team-taught with three different professors. Despite the size of the class and the number of professors teaching, I got to know each one. The ES faculty is great, and because of the interdisciplinary nature of ES I've taken classes in departments I never thought I would. What's the best class you've ever taken at Bowdoin? There are two professors that I've had for four or more classes. They are Professors Lindsay Whitlow and Nancy Jennings. Prof. Whitlow was the instructor for the senior seminar I took last spring on invasive species, called "Alien Invasion." That class was an eye-opening gaze into the impacts of globalism and world travel on the biological integrity of an ecosystem. From recent problems all the way back to accidentally introduced species from ships' ballast water, humans have been adding and killing species in our environments for ages. He's been my advisor as well for two independent studies and an Introductory Environmental Science class. I've had Prof. Jennings for the past three semesters and I have her again this semester. She is a brilliant teacher. I attended the same private school for 12 years before coming to Bowdoin, so I knew very little about public schools. My first class with her was Educational Policy. We spent most of the semester focused on a law that was just starting to be publicized, No Child Left Behind. We went into the local schools to see how the law was affecting them. The results were interesting and occasionally surprising. Having the experience in schools that Bowdoin gives you is great. What extracurricular activities do you participate in? I've been on the Environmental Studies Student Advisory Committee for a couple years, a co-coordinator for the Volunteer Lawyer's Project in Portland, a club-head and leader with the Bowdoin Outing Club, a bartender at the bar on campus, and am currently on the building committee for the new freshmen dorms. Some of my best experiences have been the Pre-Orientation trips I've led and participated in over the years. Taking a bunch of incoming freshmen out into the woods for a couple days is a great experience. I get to introduce them to the beauties of Maine and their first friends at Bowdoin. It's so much fun! Since freshmen year I've gone to Canada, Acadia National Park, and twice to the Appalachian Trail. Being on the building committee for the new freshmen dorms has also been an enriching experience. I've taken several architecture courses through the Environmental Studies/Architectural Studies department, so I jumped at the opportunity to participate. I'm one of only four students on the committee; made up of mostly deans and faculty. It's amazing to get to participate on such a large project. I was able to sit in on several of the presentations by the architects initially, and now have met with the selected architect, Kyu Sung Woo, several times. Working with both the architect and the college has shown me exactly how much input a student can have into the daily business of Bowdoin. What's your best Bowdoin memory? Going with a couple friends to a Bowdoin- Colby men's hockey game at Colby my sophomore year. There's nothing like it. What's your strangest or funniest experience while at Bowdoin? Some of the strangest experiences I've had have been driving back up to Bowdoin from Delaware. It's an 8 hours drive, so you spend a lot of time on the highway, but inevitably you run into someone from Bowdoin on the trip. Last time I was in the wrong lane for a toll, so I kept going and finally I found a Bowdoin sticker, I just smiled and waved and she let me in. Have you done any independent study/honors projects? Last fall I did a project with a community organization called the New Meadows River Project. They were doing a survey of the New Meadows watershed, to determine where there are erosion problems and how severe they are. I ended up collecting and analyzing a lot of data for them, and produced 10 maps for their final report. This year I'm doing a year-long Honors Project studying the effects of green crab predation on soft-shell clam populations. It is with Prof. Whitlow, whom I mentioned above. I got to spend the entire summer here in Maine, driving up and down the coast digging clams. Let me tell you, clam digging is hard, and the tides don't wait until after 10am. It's been a solid project, and Prof. Whitlow has been awesome to work with. This spring I'll be working with Prof. Penny Martin looking at the educational experiences of middle school girls in science classes. What are your plans for after graduation? I'm applying for teaching positions, but I'm also considering staying for a 9th semester at Bowdoin. The Education department has a program to earn a Maine teaching certificate. If, upon graduation, you are only two courses away from certification, you can stay for one extra semester as a part-time student to take those classes. If I went that route I would have a teaching certificate in the state of Maine. I know that eventually I'll go to grad school of some sort, but for now, there's no need to rush it.

PHOENIX (AP) — A 27-year-old Arizona man accused of fatally stabbing his 12-year-old half brother reportedly told police he "just felt like killing."
Andrew Ward called 911 from a convenience store near the north Phoenix home where Austin Tapia suffered multiple stab wounds late Wednesday, police Sgt. Steve Martos said.
Ward told the dispatcher he had stabbed someone, and officers found Ward with blood on his hands and clothing and a knife in a pants pocket, Martos said.
Martos said detectives asked Ward why he killed the boy, and Ward said, "Honestly, I just felt like killing."
Other family members had gone to dinner so Ward and the boy were the only ones home. The mother and two teenage sisters returned home to find police at what had become a crime scene.
Ward was booked on suspicion of first-degree murder and child abuse, Martos said.
Martos said he did not know if Ward had an attorney, and a Maricopa County Sheriff's Office spokesman said Ward was still being processed into the jail and was not available Thursday to be asked about a request for a jailhouse interview.
A clerk at the convenience store, Kristina Krasovich, said the man identified by police as Ward had blood on his shirt and an arm and that it looked like he had wiped his hands on his pants when he arrived at the store.
"He was real shaky and scared. I could see in his eyes something bad had happened," Krasovich told KNXV-TV (http://bit.ly/1ewfssn).
She said she saw him talking on the phone.
"He had calmed down, but he still had this look of horror on his face," Krasovich said.
She asked if the man was OK and says he gave her a thumbs-up
A few minutes later, she said, the man started to walk toward the door where police officers waiting with guns drawn ordered him to the ground.

NEW YORK, N.Y. – The debut of Tom Attea's new play is likely to benefit from some holy timing — he's written a play about a pope resigning.
The off-Broadway company Theater for the New City said Friday it will produce Attea's "Benedictus," a play written two years about a pope who steps down.
It is slated to run from May 30 to June 16 at the company's home in lower Manhattan. Mark Mercante will direct the production with incidental music by Arthur Abrams.
According to producers, the play is about the fictional Pope Benedictus, who has visions that command him to follow a new calling. Top cardinals must then decide what to do with him.
Attea, a playwright and lyricist, has had eight musicals and one play produced off-Broadway.

Court Report
A 69-year old man is facing assault and public peace disturbance charges after he allegedly struck his nephew several times with a shovel.
Levao Puaula of Tafuna was upset that his 16-year old nephew, who had been drinking, was swearing profanely on the front lawn of their home. The defendant, who spent the weekend in jail, made his initial appearance in the District Court yesterday morning.
According to police affidavit, the defendant repeatedly told his nephew to keep the noise down, however the defendant continued to swear.
It's alleged the defendant then grabbed a shovel and struck his nephew three times, and when that shovel broke in half, the defendant fetched a second shovel and struck his nephew twice. Police said the shovel landed on the nephew's back and elbows, leaving bruises and lacerations.
When police responded to the call, they arrested the nephew for underage drinking and after further investigation, they came back to arrest the defendant for allegedly assaulting his nephew.
Assistant Attorney General Camille Phillippe told Samoa News that the government is looking into this matter, to determine if felony assault charges should be filed.
District Court Judge John Ward scheduled the case for Wednesday.
Five juveniles accused of breaking into a home in Koko Land three times appeared before the District Court on charges of burglary and stealing.
Assistant Attorney General Terrie Bullinger said three of the five juveniles were 17 when the incident occurred last year June and they are now 18 years of age. Bullinger said the government is looking into this matter, to determine if the 18-year olds should be charged as adults.
The prosecutor said the five young men involved broke into the same home three times— once in May and twice in June last year.
It's alleged the juveniles removed several electronic items from the home and some were recovered. X-BOX video games, remote controls for the video games, a 20-inch TV, video games and cell phones were among the items recovered.
Bullinger said the police were able to track the juveniles on a cell phone they allegedly stole from the home — calls to and from the cell phone enabled the police to find the juveniles.
The preliminary examination hearing for Lomitusi Filiga has been continued to next month.
Filiga is facing weapon charges for unlawful use of a weapon, possession of an unlicensed firearm, unlawful possession of ammunition and third-degree assault.
The Preliminary examination hearing to determine whether the government had sufficient evidence to have the case bound over to the high court was supposed to occur yesterday morning before the District Court. Filiga is accused of pointing a handgun at his relative while under the influence of alcohol.
The weapon charges are in addition to the public peace disturbance. Filiga, who's released on bail of $3,000, has denied the additional weapon charges.
According to the police affidavit, the defendant claims he was just playing around and did not mean to scare anyone with the weapon. The unlicensed firearm was confiscated by police the day the alleged incident occurred.

Renee Connor had wanted to be a lawyer since high school and thanks to the University of Delaware's Natural Resource Management (NRM) program, she is well on her way to achieving her goal. Connor has been accepted into the University of Maryland's Francis King Carey School of Law.
Connor, who graduated from UD in 2012 with a double major in NRM and political science, said that after figuring out that she wanted to pursue a career in law, she had to decide which branch of law she wanted to study. "When I looked into environmental law, that seemed like something I'd be really interested in," she said, adding that it made sense to major in NRM to pursue a career in that field.
The NRM program, housed in the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources, helped Connor in many ways but she said that perhaps the most significant benefit was providing her with enriching and diverse coursework. "I took a lot of classes in different areas," said Connor. "I took economics classes, science classes and policy classes, and I feel like it was a good major to prepare me for law school because you have to understand a wide range of topics to do environmental law."
Steve Hastings, professor in the Department of Applied Economics and Statistics and at the Agricultural Experiment Center, said of Connor's acceptance into law school, "Renee was a very focused student who knew she wanted to be an attorney — she worked hard to achieve that goal."
Hastings echoed Connor's sentiments about the plethora of educational opportunities afforded to those who choose to major in NRM.
"NRM is an excellent interdisciplinary major that exposes students to both physical and social sciences," said Hastings. "It is this mix that makes it a great preparation for law school or graduate school in a variety of areas. In fact, which area to pursue is the hardest decision the students have to make."
Connor joins a number of NRM graduates who have gone on to law school and become lawyers. Among them is Kristen DeWire, a 2004 UD graduate who works as an assistant attorney general in the office of the attorney general in Maryland. Specifically, her role is to represent the Maryland Department of the Environment.
DeWire said that she decided to study NRM at UD because of her love of outdoor activities such as camping and hiking. She also said that she thought she would be more successful in the policy side of environmental issues instead of "focusing on environmental science or environmental engineering."
She also enjoyed the fact that the NRM major would give her a diverse group of classes from which to choose. "Being able to do analysis and analytical writing through communications, economics and environmental law classes, and from internship experiences, was really helpful in terms of being able to think critically and analytically about applying theories to particular sets of facts, which is a lot of what legal practice is."
DeWire added that the science classes she took, from soil science to geology, provided her a head start when it comes to examining legal cases in those areas and the work has proven beneficial when talking with experts and preparing for cases.
DeWire also said that the small classes sizes, the excellent faculty and the "family environment" of CANR added a lot to her undergraduate experience.
Internship opportunities
One thing that Connor and DeWire have in common is that they both took advantage of an internship opportunity while they were undergraduates in the NRM program.
Connor worked at UD's Garden for the Community, an internship she said she really enjoyed because it gave her a hands-on experience working outdoors.
DeWire had two internships during her time at UD, both sponsored by CANR's Delaware Water Resources Center. The first involved working on a paper focusing on the impact of a Supreme Court ruling on the federal jurisdiction over wetlands in Delaware, and the second involved her working at the Water Resources Agency (WRA) surveying a stream running through UD's campus and making recommendations for restoration.

2011 Season Preview - Brisbane Broncos
Brisbane enter 2011 in the wake of a stunning decision to drop the axe
on head coach Ivan Henjak three weeks before the start of the season.
After just two years in the top job, the Broncos' board decided
yesterday to punt the rookie mentor and appoint assistant coach Anthony
Griffin for the remainder of 2011.
The timing of the announcement poses many unanswered questions. Henjak has spent the pre-season gearing the club for an assault on the premiership; why sack him at this point? And what has transpired over the off-season to make now the appropriate time?
It remains to be seen just how Henjak's ousting will effect Brisbane's onfield performance. Rumours of player unrest have been floating around Red Hill for a number of months but new CEO Paul White has taken the safe diplomatic line, saying it wasn't a player lead revolt. From the outside looking in, and for a club that has built success on stability, it can only be unsettling. However, if it was the players themselves pushing for change then they have absolutely no excuse not to perform in Ivan's absence.
White also made the claim that no coach has been approached for 2012. However, most punters would bet on Brisbane hiding a big-name ace up their sleeve, especially considering Mal Meninga's desire to return to an NRL club and Wayne Bennett's contract expiring at season end.
Last season Henjak oversaw the Broncos' proud finals record come to a crashing halt as, for the first time in nineteen seasons, the club failed to qualify for September footy. The side looked set to make a last season surge for the finals but their campaign fell to pieces in without skipper Darren Lockyer, who succumbed to a rib cartilage injury in Round 21.
The Broncos now face the unfamiliar task of rebounding from a tenth-placed finish. Their recruitment drive has taken on the adage of quality over quantity - international prop Ben Hannant is the only big name signing. The 26-year old's return to Brisbane will add some much needed go forward to a pack that struggled to make metres up the middle in 2010.
Aside from Hannant, the Broncos have put their faith in their collection of talented youngsters. Fullback Josh Hoffman and second-rower Matt Gillett burst onto the scene last year and need to carry the same enthusiasm into this season, while the likes of Jharal Yow Yeh, Alex Glenn and Andrew McCullough are reaching a stage of their career where they need to shoulder more responsibility.
Brisbane's lynchpin is without doubt the masterful Darren Lockyer. The side was a shambles without their five-eighth in 2010, which is testament to the skipper's influence but also the short comings of his halves partner Peter Wallace. Wallace lacked leadership in Lockyer's absence and, with Corey Norman and Ben Hunt snapping at his heels, needs to lift his game for the Broncos to prosper.
Player to Watch - Justin Hodges
Having not played first grade rugby league since September 26th 2009, all eyes will be on Justin Hodges when he makes his expected comeback to the NRL next month. A ruptured achilles tendon kept Hodges on the sideline for the entirety of 2010 and the champion centre is reportedly keener than mustard to return to the field. And don't the Broncos need him more than ever this season. Hodges' physical presence and experience is crucial in a young backline, while his combination with Lockyer will again be the side's pet play. However, his often fiery temper must be kept in check, the last thing the Broncos need is a fit Hodges spending time on the sideline suspended.
Rookie to Watch - Jack Reed
The departure of AFL-bound Israel Folau means the other centre berth is well and truly up for grabs in 2011. Outside back utility Gerard Beale and Under 20s centre Dale Copley would, at this stage, appear to be the front runners but there is no clear indication as to who will be favoured come round one. The bolter could be red-headed Norths Devils product Jack Reed, who has been given an opportunity at both centre and wing in two trials against the Titans and Cowboys. The 21-year old touched down for two tries against North Queensland and is said to be the strongest option defense-wise. Reed may even leapfrog speedster Denan Kemp for a slot on the wing.
Signings: Ben Hannant (Bulldogs), Dane Carlaw (Dragons, ESL)
Losses: Israel Folau (GWS AFL), Lagi Setu (Mormon Mission), Antonio Winterstein (Cowboys), Tariq Sims (Cowboys), Ashton Sims (Cowboys), Korbin Sims (Knights), Andrew Clayton (Sharks)

State Budgets Home Page
The State of Minnesota operates on a two year budget cycle (or a biennium as it is referred to in state government). State fiscal years begin on July 1 and end the following June 30. The fiscal year is designated by the calendar year in which it ends. The budget process for the next biennium begins in July of the preceding year when the Department of Finance issues budget instructions to state agencies.
State Operating Budget
Each odd numbered year the governor proposes, and the legislature enacts, the Operating Budget, often called the Biennial Budget, for the State of Minnesota. This budget is for a two year period (biennium) beginning in the year the budget is adopted. The budget includes expenditures for education, health care, public safety, housing, natural resources, agriculture, economic development, as well as dollars to state agencies and local units of government.
State Capital Budget
Capital budgets and their associated bonding bills are primarily funded through the issuance of state general obligation bonds. Items funded in capital budgets often include land acquisition, construction and repair of state buildings, state infrastructure, higher education facilities, and capital grants to schools and local governments.
State Economic Forecasts
The Department of Finance prepares formal forecasts of state revenues and expenditures in November and February each year as required by state law. Quarterly Economic Updates are also prepared in January, April, July, and October each year. These updates are not formal forecasts but report on year-to-date revenue collections compared to previous forecasts, and make note of any significant economic or revenue developments that have occurred since the last formal forecast.

This is a fantastic T-800 figure. I have the earlier version and this one is even better. Bring on the BD version. The one thing this one should have come with though was the MM1 grenade launcher. Maybe that can be a late addition to the BD version.

SEMI New England Forum Highlights Trends in Emerging Technologies
Immersion Litho, Touchless Automation Cited as Tools to Improve Chip Yield
BOSTON, MASS., March 10, 2005 -- The potential of immersion lithography to extend the semiconductor roadmap and the application of "touchless" automation to improve fab productivity were topics of discussion at the SEMI New England Breakfast Forum held yesterday at the Renaissance Hotel in Bedford, Massachusetts.
Michael Passow, senior manager of technology development and deployment at IBM East Fishkill, said the challenge for any new fab was how to ramp up to high volume, high yield production "without breaking the bank".
The approach taken by IBM at its 300-mm fab in East Fishkill, New York, was to introduce so-called touchless automation. Rather than trying to develop a fab that was "paperless" or devoid of people, IBM employs fully automated systems for manufacturing and relies on human intervention only to monitor error conditions and take corrective action.
Passow noted the importance of having fab development located close to manufacturing in order to facilitate innovation and ensure seamless technology transfer. To this end, IBM East Fishkill incorporates both operations in a single building. "We can address [technical] issues quickly and continue down the roadmap," said Passow.
The East Fishkill fab, which cost $2.5 billion, relies upon sophisticated communications and control systems that consume 575 miles of Ethernet cable and utilize more than one and a half miles of automation system overhead track. The fab's server room has more processing power than NASA uses to launch a space shuttle, according to Passow. The complexity of the operation also generates huge amounts of data, requiring 110 terabytes of storage and 1.5 terabytes of RAM.
Passow concluded by noting that operating a fab of this complexity would never be possible without the existence of technical standards and that standards were key to achieving future generation solutions.
Mordecai Rothschild from MIT's Lincoln Labs told the New England Breakfast Forum delegates that the concept of using immersion to enhance resolution was not new, having been first applied in 1840 for microscopy. Although a patent for immersion lithography was issued to Hitachi in 1984, "in practice nothing much happened until four years ago," Rothschild said.
At that time MIT Lincoln Labs demonstrated immersion interference at 157-nanometers with a 30-nm half pitch. "Immersion lithography has caught on very quickly," he said. "Our first published results were in the summer of 2001. Prior to that there was almost no published work in a serious way."
A SEMATECH workshop followed in 2002, and in 2004 the industry saw the first deliveries of pre-production immersion lithography tools.
Rothschild said the initial driver for immersion lithography was to reduce device feature sizes to meet the Moore's Law roadmap. However, there was an added benefit. "Even if you don't reduce your resolution [through immersion] we can improve the depth of focus of the whole process, and DOF is one of those parameters that is very important for yield purposes and for maintaining control of the process," he said.
Although ultra-pure water was required as the immersion fluid, there were still technical concerns including purity control of the liquid, its interaction with photoresist, and defects caused by bubbles or chemical and particulate contamination. Yield studies were currently underway to quantify the impact of bubbles on yield in the manufacturing process, and to determine methods to improve fluid handling designs, according to Rothschild.
So far none of these concerns have turned into major barriers, but it was still early days because volume production using immersion techniques has only just begun, he added.
Looking ahead, Rothschild said the extension of immersion lithography beyond the 45-nm node will require the use of transparent fluids with a higher index of refraction than water, in addition to a redesign of the optics used in lithography systems.
"Nevertheless, all of the arrows point in the positive direction as far as immersion lithography is concerned," he said. "I am fairly comfortable that optical lithography in one form or another will keep the roadmap alive and well for at least another decade."
The next SEMI New England Breakfast Forum will be held June 1 at the same venue. The topic will be "A Market Trend Update," featuring Bill McClean, president of IC Insights and Bob Johnson, analyst with Gartner Dataquest.

Man Charged in Fatal Alexandria Stabbing
ALEXANDRIA (AP) — Prosecutors have charged an Alexandria man in the stabbing death of another man over the weekend.
The Douglas County attorney has charged Kody Lee Klimek with two counts of second-degree murder and one count of third-degree murder.
Klimek was arrested after 28-year-old Phillip Alstadt of Alexandria was fatally stabbed after an altercation. Alexandria police were called Saturday and found Alstadt dead on the lawn.
Police say the two men knew each other.
Bail for Klimek was set at $1 million with no conditions. He remained in jail Tuesday.
County Attorney Chad Larson says he intends to present the case to a grand jury.

OTTAWA – Former Republican presidential candidate and libertarian Ron Paul will be the marquee speaker at Canada's premier gathering of Conservatives next month, a figure that even organizers bill as controversial.
Paul will speak to the Manning Centre for Building Democracy's networking conference, an event that in the past has drawn Prime Minister Stephen Harper and many of his key cabinet members and advisers.
Paul, referred to by some pundits as the real inspiration behind the Tea Party movement in the United States, is one of the foremost voices for small government — including eliminating foreign aid, the education department, key social programs and the war on drugs.
He is staunchly anti-abortion, anti-gun control, and opposed to President Barack Obama's health-care reform. The 77-year-old has advocated for an end to Medicare and Medicaid in the United States.
A Texan, Paul is a former doctor turned congressman and currently the chairman of the Campaign for Liberty. He was able to assemble a loyal following over the course of two Republican races in 2008 and 2011, notably with the use of the Internet.
"We oppose the dehumanizing assumption that all issues that divide us must be settled at the federal level and forced on every American community, whether by activist judges, a power-hungry executive, or a meddling Congress," says the campaign's website.
"We believe in the humane alternative of local self-government, as called for in our Constitution."
Olivier Ballou, a spokesman for the Manning Centre, said centre president Preston Manning himself will engage in an on-stage discussion with Paul following the former presidential candidate's speech.
"He's definitely our biggest attraction and source of controversy," Ballou said. "He's one of those guys that people either love him or hate him. It's fascinating since we announced him seeing the debates online."
On the Manning Centre's Facebook page, commenters were divided about the wisdom of having Paul speak at the conference.
"Ron Paul is a fool who will only discredit this fine attempt at preparing conservative minds for the future," read one post.
"Ron Paul is the best politician in the U.S.A., the real deal. Very smart man, can't believe he isn't President he's so smart," said another.
Conservative parliamentarians who are on the schedule for the conference were markedly terse in their reaction to Paul's participation.
"I actually have heard him speak in the past, and while I disagree with what he says on occasion, I'll defend to the death his right to say it," said Treasury Board President Tony Clement.
"The Manning Centre conference has a history of bringing up a wide variety of different speakers to appeal to a wide variety of different audiences, so I don't think that'll be any different this time around," said Calgary MP Michelle Rempel.
Although there are many libertarians in the ranks of the Conservative party, including Harper himself, Paul's small government is a different breed than that expressed publicly by Conservatives in power. Universal health care, official languages policy and supply management are just three areas that would be anathema to Paul's positions.
Participants might more in common in another speaker — former Australian prime minister John Howard. Some in Harper's team borrowed liberally from Howard's campaign and communications style over the years.
Opposition MPs said it's telling that Paul was selected to speak to Canada's top Conservatives.
"We know that the right in Canada are getting loonier all the time, but I think it's very telling that they're bringing in Mr. Ron Paul," said NDP ethics critic Charlie Angus.
"Mr. Ron Paul is a marginal figure in the United States where the right are extremely right wing, so the Harperites think they're going to learn lessons from him? It might show an indication of where their backbench is certainly wanting to go."
Said Liberal MP Francis Scarpaleggia: "I don't understand what wisdom Mr. Paul can bring to the Canadian setting. We're a very different country with very different issues."
Paul courted controversy earlier this week when he tweeted that the "death of a former NAVY Seal at a shooting range confirmed that 'he who lives by the sword dies by the sword.' Treating PTSD at a firing range doesn't make sense."'
Paul is strongly non-interventionist when it comes to American military activities, and voted against the war in Iraq.

Some 20 years ago as I was finishing graduate school, I worked for a polling company. It was longer than I wanted to but it gave me some valuable insights on that business before I moved into the line of work that I wanted. I got to know the man who ran the company; he ran polls for national and international companies and occasionally dabbled into political polling. He was meticulous and it became very clear that this job was his life. Now I don't know his politics but I would guess that he was left of center, at least on social issues. However, he was nearly fanatical about being impartial and getting the true response. Some twenty years later, all of this helps me to understand how political polling works, and believe me it is very difficult. In other words, if political polling isn't done exactly right it becomes a terrible slanted mess.
Here's how live polling works. Automated computer dialers call randomly generated phone numbers, which are often are disconnected, faxes and or not in service. In a four hour shift you would be lucky to get 8-10 complete surveys per poll taker in a hotly contested political race. Now mind you that was 20 years before cell phones, my understanding is that now because of cell phones and caller id many polling agencies are using brief computer automated voices to ask questions. Most polling agencies have given up on live survey results on such things as your favorite bar of soup, breakfast cereal, shoe company etc. Believe me there were nights that we would put in a four hour shift and call over 150 people and get one or two complete surveys concerning your favorite shampoo.
When it comes to political polling my old boss (who is a Ph.D and widely respected across the country) would fret about the way we ask each question, our tone and our attitude. He would drill into us that he needed unbiased surveys for his clients. He would remind us, and this is very important in today's world, that conservative oriented people don't like polling as much as liberals because liberals believe in proselytizing their views while conservatives feel their views are a reflection of their values, as well as their cultural and religious upbringing. This is why liberals tend to be oversampled in polling. By and large they don't hang up on pollsters and surveys because they view it as their duty and mission to get the word out. Again, my boss was not a conservative and he could see this 20 years ago. Continue Reading
