| Doctor to be arraigned today on child abuse charge
Lobati, 47 and of Ozark, faces a charge of felony child abuse in connection with a January 2006 incident.
Police say Lobati beat his eldest daughter on Jan. 29, 2006, after the girl had walked away from her mother in an argument. He allegedly threw the girl onto the floor, then repeatedly struck her in the head.
In a probable cause statement filed with the charge, Ozark Police Officer Justin Arnold wrote that Lobatis daughter said the man singled her out, and hadnt abused his other two daughters similarly.
The document points out that Lobati is from African heritage. It says he told police that the type of punishment he has inflicted on his daughter he allegedly struck her with one of his knuckles, something he called a konk is common in his home country and is just a way to get the attention of a child and let them know that they have done something wrong.

In the world of online community, one authoritative man can dictate ...
Even as front offices scramble to hire just about anyone who can run a statistical regression, at least two books, one by Cardinals manager Tony La Russa, have been written more or less as responses to Moneyball, and, until recently, the A's have scuffled well south of .500. In an afterword to the paperback edition of the book, Lewis writes that baseball is not so much a business as it is a social club, one that recoiled at a member, Billy Beane, violating its cherished omertà and revealing its inner workings. "The Club," Lewis writes, "includes not only the people who manage the team but also, in a kind of Women's Auxiliary, many of the writers and the commentators who follow it, and purport to explain it." Morgan, he says, is "the closest thing to Club Social Chairman," and when he talked about the book, "the tone of the discourse went from weird to stark raving mad." The examples are legion.
Car Shoppers Must Think Tech
Most of the new technologies being shown are for people who want to pay less attention to their cars, not more. Keyless ignition and door opening are increasingly popular. They work as long as the key is somewhere on your person. Some automakers, such as Acura and Mercedes-Benz, have introduced cars with "active cruise control," a feature that senses whether the car is coming too close to the car ahead. The Cadillac STS features the Side Blind Zone Alert system, which signals through an icon on the driver's side mirror when another vehicle creeps up alongside. The car also flashes and buzzes when drivers seem to be wandering inattentively out of their lanes. Some of yesterday's technology is notably absent from the show. The vulnerable, old, easy-to-break antenna of yore has been replaced on many cars by hidden "in glass" antennas.

Stunned by Lack of Outrage, Not Outrageous Acts
I know a young woman who wanted to drive to Vermont to be with her family for Thanksgiving but couldn't afford to put that much gas in her car. The middle class should take note. People are wandering the mall charging Christmas presents, but that bill comes due in January when the price of oil will be more than $100 a barrel and gasoline will cost $4 a gallon at the pump. Where is the outrage? I am stunned by people in Monroe who want to take away a veteran's rights to free speech when he paints angry signs about Bush on his van. I am stunned by those same people who want to shut me up, shout me down, spew viciousness into my telephone because I exercise my own right to speak. They are so confused, these people who believe in free speech until someone says something they disagree with.
FBI: Chicago Malls Could Be Terrorist Targets
However, officials said the tip was uncorroborated, third-party information. NBC5's Lauren Jiggetts reported that it appeared that a leak to the media forced Thursday's announcement. Authorities said they had no plans to make the threat public because both the FBI and terrorism experts were questioning its credibility. .
