Charlie Sheen says he has advice for LiLo

Sydney, Feb 17 (ANI): Charlie Sheen is apparently keen to give advice to troubled star Lindsay Lohan.

The 'Two and a Half Men' star has been battling his own personal issues in recent months, and is currently undergoing rehab treatment at his home in Los Angeles.

However, the 45-year-old insists he's the perfect person to help Lohan deal with her problems as she fights accusations she stole a necklace from a Hollywood jewelers, because he understands how the media can "vilify without fact".

"I dare you to get Lindsay on the show. You get Lindsay on the show and I'll call in. I have some advice for her. I have some things for her to consider," the Sydney Morning Herald quoted Sheen as telling US radio show presenter Dan Patrick on Wednesday.

"Work on your impulse control, just try to think things through a little bit before you do it. Now check it - I was not there in the store, the necklace, some bracelet, who cares? I mean, they are just so desperate to vilify without fact," he said.

Lohan, who was already on probation when the incident allegedly occurred in January, has pleaded not guilty to a felony grand theft charge and is currently free on bail after a judge revoked her probation for a previous DUI charge. (ANI)|

|UK teacher banned for 2-yrs for spraying Asian pupils with air freshener|world[London {London, Feb 17 (ANI): A nursery teacher in Britain, who sprayed Asian pupils with air freshener for smelling of curry, has been banned from teaching for a minimum of two-years.

Elizabeth Davies, 50, who was found guilty of a string of charges by a General Teaching Council for Wales (GCTW), was struck off the teaching register after she humiliated children aged three to six in her primary school class.

"It is our view that Mrs Davies' behaviour strikes at the heart of what it is to be a teacher," the Daily Mail quoted panel chairman Peter Williams as saying.

He went on to describe it as a "complete disregard for the children's dignity which should be preserved at all times", and that it included an "insensitivity to the (children's) needs, in particular in relation to their intimate care".

The Cardiff hearing was told that Davies would use the air freshener in the morning after accusing Bangladeshi children of smelling of "onions or curry".

The panel heard how Davies, a nursery school teacher for 21 years, would warn youngsters "there is a waft coming in from paradise" moments before targeting them with air freshener.

She would then target a short, sharp squirt at an offending child's bottom.

Davies, who was working at Hafod Primary School in Swansea at the time, was found guilty of leaving wet or soiled children unchanged and also prevented other support staff changing them.

Children were made to stand on newspaper in their soiled or wet condition until collected by their parents.

The GCTW panel ruled that guilt in all five offences together amounted to unacceptable professional conduct.

The prohibition order served on the teacher will operate for a minimum of two years before she is eligible for readmission to the teaching register. (ANI)|

|I sent a grand total of 2 e-mails as president, says Bill Clinton |world[Washington {Washington, Feb 17 (ANI): Former US President Bill Clinton has revealed that he sent just two e-mail messages during his time in the White House.

"I sent a grand total of two e-mails as president," Fast Company magazine quoted him as saying at the Ford Foundation's Wired for Change conference in New York.

"One [was] to our troops in the Adriatic, and one [was] to John Glenn when he was 77 years old in outer space.

"I figured it was OK if Congress subpoenaed those," Clinton said.

Technology has come a long way since Clinton moved into the White House. When he arrived in 1993, only about 50 websites existed on the Internet, and cell phones could double as weightlifting equipment, reports the Politico.

Clinton also spoke about the benefit and ills of the Internet in his speech - territory that his wife, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, similarly discussed in a major policy address on Tuesday in Washington.

"Do we need technology? Yes. But it needs to be in the service of building functioning institutions. The big problem in poor countries is they don't have the institutions we take for granted," he said.

In developed countries, though, the presence of too much technology has become problematic, Clinton said.

"What caused the meltdown? Our financial institutions worked arguably too well, at warp speed," he added. (ANI)
