Superior Court Judge Roger Robbins also ordered Lynette Rojas to pay $270,000 in fines and $165,113.08 in restitution to the club. But the 37-year- old La Habra residents appears unable to pay any of the money back, Deputy District Attorney Marc Labreche said. Rojas, who could have faced up to 20 years in prison if convicted at trial, pleaded guilty April 4 after Robbins agreed to sentence her to three years behind bars.

What are your plans? We’ve got several things in mind for our two days off: Drink a glass of wine. Our favorite dietician says that we should drink a glass of wine over a can of Coke. We promise we’ll stick to one glass. Really. Make our muscles sore — and like it. We’re going to get in at least one good workout this weekend, and you can bet we’ll savor the burn. Watch some Oprah. Sometimes we just want to sit back and see what Her Majesty has to say. Even though she isn’t always right. Buy a really big energy-efficient TV. Okay, so maybe we won’t actually buy it. But we can definitely walk around the air-conditioned electronics store and stare at Energy Star-certified 50-inchers. Go dancing. It’s a...

Education & Learning 10% Students may have working memory problems: Why does this matter?: A recent study screened over 3,000 school-aged students in schools in the UK and found that 1 in 10 was identified as having working memory difficulties. Working memory is our ability to store and manipulate information for a brief time, and difficulties in this brain function may lead into difficulties in reading and mathematics. Dr. Tracy Allo...

Well, it also takes a village — at best a supportive community, and at the least a few very good friends — to keep a person sane and happy. All of us need companionship, which is exactly why teenagers are texting their friends in the middle of dinner (TMI, BFF, OMG …), and why people who didn’t own a personal computer last year now have profiles on Facebook, MySpace, and other social networking sites. Maybe the first trick to finding friends is to befriend ourselves, and to become comfortable with silence, because no one has the power to make us feel okay with ourselves but us. But, lest we stay quiet for too long, here are 10 techniques to meet new friends, which I think everyone can benefit from, because, as I learned ...

The previously undisclosed allegations involve Medtronic’s spinal-devices unit, which has $3 billion in annual revenue, and its dealings with docs who use its implants are being investigated by the Senate Finance Committee over off-label use, the paper writes. The relationships also generated whistleblower lawsuits brought by former Medtronic employees, some of whom also filed complaints against docs (see this back story). The former Medtronic lawyer’s allegations are con...

The ban exempts some military veterans' halls and other private clubs -- and the ASC says this is not OK. The exemption waters down the law and exposes people to secondhand smoke, say ACS spokeswoman Wendy Simpkins.The smoking ban was approved by 58 percent of voters in November, took effect in December, and will result in fining beginning the first week in May. The law prohibits smoking in most public places, such as restaurants, bars, and office and excludes tobacco shops, designated hotel rooms, and enclosed areas of nursing homes. Halls and clubs can be excluded from the law only if there are no employees.Jay Carey, spokesman for the sta...
