Neil Lennon the target again after fan stages touchline assault, Celtic's manager, Neil Lennon, was attacked by a supporter during his team's Scottish Premier League victory at Hearts last night in the latest incident involving the Northern Irishman this season.
Lennon, around whom security levels are tight after threats to his life in recent months, was targeted after Celtic's second goal in their 3-0 win. A man, who sprinted from Tynecastle's main stand, grabbed hold of Lennon on the touchline before being wrestled to the ground by a combination of the Celtic coaching team, stewards and police. Lennon kicked out at his attacker while the man, who was led away by police, lay on the turf.
Celtic's manager was unhurt but visibly affected by an incident that continues a turbulent 2011 for him and Scottish football. In January a package containing bullets and addressed to him was intercepted in Northern Ireland. Two months later he was involved in a furious touchline row with the Rangers assistant manager, Ally McCoist, at the end of an Old Firm derby; a political summit was held partly as a consequence of that fracas.
Since last month Lennon has been under 24-hour security after a viable explosive device intended for him was halted in the post but last night marked the first time he has come into direct danger when carrying out his work.
Condemnation instantly arrived from across Scottish football. "It was an utter disgrace," said the Celtic coach Johan Mjallby, who took care of post-match media duties on Lennon's behalf. "It was shocking and I have never seen anything like it at this level. This is a dark day for Scottish football. You never know what the guy could have had in his hand."
Lennon's assailant was arrested and is due in court. Mjallby recalled the moment the man came into view. "I saw it out of the corner of my eye, that someone was beside the dugout. [Celtic's coach] Alan Thompson was the first to react and to get hold of the guy. Neil was surprised and shocked. He is OK but shaken."
Hearts, who are certain to face sanctions from the Scottish football authorities, vowed to co-operate with whatever investigations take place into the volatile encounter. Immediately after the attack on Lennon a section of the Celtic support fought with the police.
Hearts said in a statement: "An investigation into events which took place in the second half of tonight's game against Celtic is now under way. Hearts is a club which prides itself on its 'football for all' policy and these sorts of actions have no place in the game of football. We will give our full support to the stewards and police authorities in the ensuing investigation into the events at tonight's match."
Both teams had players sent off during a Celtic win which keeps alive Lennon's faint hopes of winning the Scottish Premier League championship in his first full season in charge. Stewart Regan, chief executive of the Scottish Football Association, and his counterpart Neil Doncaster at the Scottish Premier League issued immediate responses to the ugly touchline scenes. "The SPL deplores the actions of the individual involved," said Doncaster.
"This type of behaviour has no place in Scottish football.
"The SPL will undertake a full investigation and will be reviewing reports from the SPL match delegate, match officials, the police and the clubs." Regan said: "Clearly this behaviour from supporters is wholly unacceptable.
"The safety of players, club officials and match officials is paramount on or around the field of play, and this clear breach of security is a matter I will be discussing with SPL chief executive Neil Doncaster tomorrow."
As after the Old Firm game in March, Scotland's first minister, Alex Salmond, felt obliged to express concern: "This sort of behaviour is utterly unacceptable."
A Lothian and Borders police spokesman said: "A number of incidents took place during this match including some violent disorder.
"Lothian and Borders Police will fully investigate all of the incidents that occurred at the match this evening and will work closely with both football clubs and the SPL."

Horner From the principal's office
Red Bull Racing have enjoyed some very good weekends recently, but they haven’t come away from a grand prix with a perfect score since the Brazilian Grand Prix of 2010. Given the evident advantage the RB7 seems to have over its rivals, that run was always going to end, and in Turkey it duly did. Sebastian Vettel crossed the finish line to comfortably take his third win in four, while Mark Webber crossed a few seconds later to record his best finish of a season that finally seems to be getting going. Webber’s position was hard fought out on track. Off the start line, he slipped behind Nico Rosberg and had to fight his way back past. He then lost second position in a battle with Fernando Alonso, before retaking the position towards the end of the race. It required calm heads and strong nerves in the cockpit and on the pitwall, as team principal Christian Horner explained afterwards.
David Beckham Accident
The LA Galaxy star was not injured in the crash on the southbound 405 Freeway, a California Highway Patrol spokeswoman said. The driver of the other car was taken to hospital but was not seriously injured.
Beckham's black Cadillac crashed into the back of a gold Mitsubishi which had broken down in the carpool lane.
"Yesterday at approximately 9.13am he [Beckham] was involved with a collision on the southbound 405 Freeway just south of Artesia Boulevard," said the spokeswoman.
"This collision occurred when his black Cadillac collided with the rear of a disabled gold Mitsubishi which was stalled in the carpool lane due to mechanical problems. The driver of the vehicle had a complaint of pain and was taken to hospital. David Beckham was not cited or arrested."

Manchester United v Chelsea
Carlo Ancelotti keeps emotions in check. For Carlo Ancelotti, the “pacifist” – as he called himself on Friday – there is no point going to “war” with other managers and no reason for their “mind games” either, as he once bluntly told Jose Mourinho. But the Chelsea manager drew the battle lines ahead of Sunday's title-deciding visit to Manchester United. “I think that, mentally, we can have an advantage. Obviously, Man United hoped they wouldn’t have to play this kind of game against us,” he said. “Now they have to fight again for the title. Maybe two or three weeks ago they didn’t think in this game they’d need to fight so much.”
United’s 15-point lead has, as Sir Alex Ferguson admitted, “evaporated” and Ancelotti has demonstrated again why he is the right manager for Chelsea despite unreasonable pressure from the owners. He knows that even retaining the Premier League will probably not be enough to keep his post.
Ancelotti certainly has the strength — and the competitiveness – and one of the big mistakes the club have made this campaign is to question whether this calmness is, in fact, complacency. To make such an assumption is not to understand the man, his achievements and Ferguson will not underestimate how motivated the Italian and his team will be.
There was steel when Ancelotti brushed aside questions over formations and the vexed issue of whether £50 million Fernando Torres will start at Old Trafford. “The line-up will not be what decides this game,” he said.
“This game will be decided through the courage of the players, the personality, the character. We don’t need to be worried, afraid about this. We have to play at our best. With courage and personality, 4-4-2 or 4-3-3 is not important. It’s the same for United, the players are motivated themselves. The problem is the fear: being afraid; to lose energy being too afraid.
“We have to prepare this game like it’s a final. We have to stay more relaxed. There is a lot of pressure around us, but you have to have the skills to stay relaxed, maintain good control of your emotions, not be too afraid or worried.”
One of Ancelotti’s biggest motivational tools will be the fact that everyone had written Chelsea off. “If we are able to win, nothing is decided,” he said. “If they win, they will win the title. For this reason, they have the advantage again. But for us, it’s fantastic to think we can fight for the title. Nobody thought, two months ago, that we’d be able to do this.”
Ancelotti has now fashioned a momentum that was unimaginable not so long ago. Roman Abramovich must realise that this manager deserves more time. “It’s not crazy to think that the club can change,” Ancelotti said. “I’ve tried to do my best. But the club has to check my job. If they consider my job good, I will stay.” In fairness, he maintained the club continued to “give me good support”.
He does not want to feud with his rivals. “I have a very good relationship with the managers here [in England],” he said. “If you have to do a war, you have to be in two, not just one. If one wants to do a war and you don’t want to react, there is no war. A battle. I am a pacifist? Yes.”
That was something Mourinho found out as the two men faced each other, in Milan and then in the Champions League. “Mourinho started mind games and we met and I said, ‘we don’t have to speak through the papers’,” Ancelotti said. “It was the time to stop this. He agreed.”
There will be no special plans to man-mark Wayne Rooney. “We want to play our football, not just control their skills and ability. If we are better, we will win.” United have not lost at home since Chelsea won there a year ago. “They’ve had a fantastic record this season at home,” he said. “But it’s time to win.”

President Barack Obama made the announcement late Sunday at the White House.
U.S. President Barack Obama announces U.S. forces in Pakistan killed al Qaeda head Osama bin Laden in a firefight in the city of Abbottabad. Obama said bin Laden's death was justice for the Sept 11, 2001 terror attack.
The development capped a manhunt of more than a decade for the architect of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks that left nearly 3,000 people dead and dramatically altered U.S. foreign policy and the nation's sense of security.

Prince William and Kate Middleton Wedding In London
LONDON (Reuters) - Britain's Prince William and Kate Middleton married at Westminster Abbey on Friday in a royal occasion of dazzling pomp and pageantry that has attracted a huge global audience and injected new life into the monarchy.
Before the vows, a veiled Middleton, the first "commoner" to marry a prince in close proximity to the throne in more than 350 years, walked slowly through the 1,900-strong congregation to the swirling strains of Charles Parry's "I Was Glad."
As they met at the altar William whispered to her, prompting a smile at the start of the ceremony. The Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams declared the couple married with the words: "I pronounce that they be man and wife together."
Middleton's dress, the subject of fevered speculation for months in the fashion press, was a traditional ivory silk and satin outfit with a lace applique and long train.
She wore a tiara loaned by the queen and the diamond and sapphire engagement ring that once belonged to William's mother Princess Diana, who was divorced from Prince Charles in 1996, a year before her death in a car crash in Paris aged just 36.
Bells pealed loudly and trumpets blared as 1,900 guests earlier poured into the historic abbey, coronation site for the monarchy since William the Conqueror was crowned in 1066.
Queen Elizabeth, other royals, David and Victoria Beckham, the footballer-pop star couple, singer Elton John and Prime Minister David Cameron were among famous guests at the abbey.
They joined 50 heads of state as well as charity workers and war veterans who know the prince from his military training.
HUGE CROWDS
Thousands of people from around the world were outside the abbey, many of them camping overnight for the best view of the future king and queen and fuelling the feel-good factor that has briefly lifted Britain from its economic gloom.
"People watching this at home must think we're completely mad, but there's just no comparison," said 58-year-old Denise Mill from southern England. "I just had to be here."
The crowd entered into the festive spirit on a chilly day by wearing national flags and even fake wedding dresses and tiaras. Hundreds of police officers, some armed, dotted the royal routes in a major security operation.
Tens of thousands more people crammed the flag-lined streets of London to catch a glimpse of marching military bands in black bearskin hats, cavalrymen in shining breastplates and ornate carriages that will carry royal figures from the service.
A large gathering is expected outside the queen's London residence, Buckingham Palace, to cheer on the married couple as they appear on the balcony for a much-anticipated public kiss.
For some, however, the biggest royal wedding since Diana married Prince Charles in 1981 was an event to avoid, reflecting divided opinion about the monarchy.
"It's just a wedding," said 25-year-old Ivan Smith. "Everyone is going mad about it. I couldn't care less."

Kate Middleton
“Catherine Elizabeth Middleton” may not be as Royal as Prince William but she was still given every opportunity by her parents, Carole and Michael Middleton.
Kate Middleton was born at Royal Berkshire Hospital in Reading, Berkshire, the first of three children and was raised in Bucklebury, a quiet English village.
Kate’s father, Michael, was an airline officer and her mother, Carole, was a flight attendant, before they founded their own business “Party Pieces”. Kate Middleton’s parents were determined to give Kate the best education possible.
From the age of four to eleven, Kate attended St Andrew’s Prep School in Pangbourne, Berkshire, followed by two years at Downe House in Newbury.
Kate later went on to attend Marlborough College in Wiltshire and St Andrews University in Scotland.
Kate performed well, academically, gaining high grade passes in eleven GCSE and three good A-levels.
Before attending St Andrews University, where she studied History of Art, Kate decided to embark on a gap year travelling around Italy and South America.
Prince William
Prince William is the elder son of Prince Charles and Princess Diana. He was born on 21 June 1982 at St Mary’s Hospital, Paddington, London.
Although Prince William came from a privileged background his mother, Princess Diana, aspired for William and his younger brother Harry, to lead as normal a life as possible. Princess Diana did her best to give her children a sense of fun and freedom.
However Prince William’s childhood was affected by some traumatic events.
In 1996, after a period of separation, his parents divorced. The following year, Princess Diana tragically died in a road traffic accident in Paris. William was only 15 years old.
Prince William was given the very best of educations. He attended Wetherby School in London; Ludgrove School in Berkshire; and Eton College, London, where he studied Geography, Biology and History at A – Level.
Before going to St Andrews University in Scotland, where he gained a 2:1 in Geography, William spent a gap year travelling around Chile, Belize and Africa.
He is an avid sportsman, and was chosen to be President of England’s Football Association. He is also the Vice Royal Patron of the Welsh Rugby Union.
Prince William continues to follow in his parents’ footsteps by taking an interest in various charitable causes, particularly in those that help disadvantaged young children and the homeless.
Prince William is currently a Patron of 19 different charitable organisations.
William was introduced to HIV and AIDS related charities, early on his life, by his mother Princess Diana. These early experiences led William to volunteer at a British Red Cross aid distribution centre in 2005.
Relations
Kate and Will’s romance blossomed at University, where they regularly saw each other in lectures and tutorials and around the University Halls.
The couple connected through their love of sport and gap year experiences.
By the time they entered their second year at University, Kate and Will had moved in together, as flatmates, but insisted they were only friends. However the pair soon became closer and started developing feelings for each other. After William graduated from University, he decided to join the Army. This decision put strain on the couple’s relationship, but William was dedicated to Kate, he often wrote handwritten love notes to her, or drove 45 minutes from his base to see her. Kate and Will tried to keep their relationship a secret from the press, but when they were spotted kissing on the slopes of the Casanna Alp whilst on a skiing holiday in Switzerland, in January 2006, they could no longer hide.

Benarkah Michael Jackson Bunuh Diri??
Pada persidangan yang digelar pada 6 April lalu, sang dokter mengajukan klaim yang cukup sensasional ini demi menghindari tuntutan yang diajukan keluarga Michael. Pengacara Murray juga menyatakan bahwa kliennya tidak bersalah atas kematian Michael di tahun 2009 silam.
Untuk menguatkan pernyataannya, Murray menghimbau agar hakim mengecek kembali catatan finansial Michael. Murray menyatakan bahwa saat itu Michael benar-benar putus asa dengan kondisi finansialnya, sampai akhirnya mengakhiri nyawanya.
"Michael Jackson terlibat dalam tindakan dan mengambil keputusan penuh keputus-asaan yang menyebabkan kematiannya. Kami yakin, pada saat Michael Jackson meninggal, dia sedang dalam keadaan putus asa karena masalah finansialnya," jelas sang pengacara dalam pembelaannya.
Jaksa penuntut pun menolak 'tuduhan' ini, menyatakan bahwa pembelaan tersebut 'tak relevan' dan bertujuan mengacaukan konsentrasi juri dari masalah utama persidangan, yakni tuduhan pada Murray atas kelalaian dan ijin untuk obat anestesi yang membunuh sang bintang.

Benarkah Obama Habis Jalani Bedah Otak?
Apa yang telah menyebabkan "bekas luka" di kepala Barack Obama? Adanya "bekas luka" di kepala Presiden AS itu memunculkan sejumlah teori konspirasi.
Selama Obama menjabat sebagai Presiden AS, dia telah dirongrong berbagai pertanyaan dan keraguan tentang latar belakangnya. Pertanyaan-pertanyaan seperti apakah Obama benar-benar orang Amerika, apakah dia seorang Muslim, dan apakah dia alien dari planet lain, telah sering ditanyakan. Pertanyaan terakhir yang beredar di internet adalah, apakah Obama punya otak.
Situs-situs blog di internet, orang-orang yang suka teori konspirasi, dan forum-forum diskusi sibuk dengan rumor terbaru tentang misteri "bekas luka" yang terbentuk di kepala Obama. Dalam sejumlah foto, Obama tampak memiliki "bekas luka" panjang yang membujur dari sekitar ubun-ubunnya hingga ke bagian belakang telinga kanannya.
Sejumlah orang menduga, apa yang tampak seperti bekas luka itu bisa saja karena pengaruh cukuran rambut yang buruk atau karena sisiran yang tidak rapi atau semata tipuan hanya cahaya atau mungkin juga tanda lahir. Namun para blogger di Amerika yakin 'bekas luka' di kepala Barack Obama punya penjelasan yang lebih seram.
The Dailymail, Kamis (7/4/2011) melaporkan, sejumlah ahli teori konspirasi mengklaim "bekas luka" itu merupakan bekas yang biasanya Anda akan lihat pada seseorang yang telah menjalani bedah otak. Karena itu, mereka yakin Obama pernah menjalani bedah otak.
Namun tanpa dokumen medis tidak seorang pun tampaknya dapat memberikan jawaban mengenai penyebab "bekas luka" misterius itu.
Ben Hart, seorang blogger dari Escape The Tyrany sebuah situs web yang menyebut dirinya Jejaring Sosial & Forum untuk Kaum Konservatif, berkata, "Obama hampir selesai dengan periode pertamanya, dan kami masih tidak tahu tentang latar belakang Presiden Amerika Serikat itu. Apa yang terjadi yang telah menyebabkan bekas luka itu, jelas itu sesuatu yang serius. Apakah itu sebuah operasi otak? Apakah itu mempengaruhi pemikirannya? Tak ada orang yang diizinkan untuk melihat akte kelahirannya. Dia seorang dengan misteri besar, tambah lagi dengan bekas luka itu." Dia menambahkan, bedak otak mungkin dapat menjelaskan mengapa Obama tidak bisa berbicara tanpa teleprompter.
Menurut Dailymail, spekulasi tentang berbagai aspek kehidupan Obama mulai merebak ketika pertanyaan-pertanyaan terkait tempat kelahirannya yang sesungguhnya mulai muncul. Banyak orang yang percaya bahwa Obama sesungguhnya lahir di Kenya, bukan di Hawaii sebagai ia telah nyatakan.
Seorang jurubicara Gedung Putih mengatakan, mereka tidak bersedia untuk mengomentari klaim-klaim semacam itu. Menurut jurubicara tersebut, klaim-klaim itu merupakan suatu yang 'konyol'.
Bagaimanapun, tanpa catatan medis, atau pengakuan Gedung Putih, publik mungkin tidak pernah tahu jawaban atas pertanyaan itu

Perubahan Iklim Tingkatkan Populasi Ulat Bulu
Perubahan iklim terutama temperatur lingkungan ikut mempengaruhi populasi ulat bulu, karena temperatur yang meningkat dapat mempercepat siklus hidup ulat itu, kata pakar hama dan penyakit tumbuhan Fakultas Pertanian Universitas Gadjah Mada Yogyakarta Suputa. "Meningkatnya populasi ulat bulu juga disebabkan semakin berkurangnya musuh alami, seperti burung, parasitoid, dan predator lain," katanya dalam diskusi Fenomena Wabah Hama Ulat Bulu di Jawa Timur, di Yogyakarta, Kamis.
Menurut dia, akibat tingginya populasi, serangan ulat bulu di Kabupaten Probolinggo, Jawa Timur, semakin memprihatinkan. Ulat bulu tidak hanya menyerang daun mangga di Kecamatan Bantaran, Leces, Sumberasih, dan Tegalsiwalan, tetapi juga memasuki rumah penduduk. "Daun mangga varietas Manalagi di daerah itu habis dimakan ulat bulu. Pohon mangga tinggal ranting dan batangnya," katanya.
Ia mengatakan, ulat bulu tersebut lebih memilih menyerang daun mangga Manalagi dibanding varietas pohon mangga lain. Pemilihan inang itu dilakukan ulat bulu dewasa saat meletakkan telur. "Ulat bulu bukan termasuk kupu-kupu, tetapi sebangsa ngengat. Diduga ngengat ulat bulu itu yang meletakkan telur pada celah kulit pohon mangga atau di bawah daun," katanya.
Menurut dia, serangan ulat bulu tersebut bukan fenomena baru, karena sebelumnya pernah terjadi serangan serupa. Bahkan, pernah terjadi tanaman lombok se-Jawa yang layu menguning akibat serangan hama tanaman. "Terdapat dua spesies ulat bulu yang menyerang daun mangga di Probolinggo, yakni arctornis sp dan Lymantria atemeles Collenette. Ulat bulu itu bersifat nokturnal, yakni ulat yang aktif pada malam," katanya.
Ia mengatakan tidak mengherankan jika pada malam sering terdengar seperti suara hujan, padahal saat itu sesungguhnya ulat bulu sedang memakan daun-daun mangga. "Jika serangan ulat ini dibiarkan, maka akan banyak pihak mengalami kerugian. Selain ketakutan juga kerugian secara ekonomi," katanya.
Oleh karena itu, pengendalian terhadap populasi ulat menjadi langkah yang harus segera dilakukan. Terlebih kemampuan produksi telur ulat betina mencapai 70-300 butir per ulat. "Pengendalian hama terpadu dengan pendayagunaan musuh alami, burung, parasitoid, perangkap lampu UV, dan penggunaan perangkap feromon seks perlu dilakukan," katanya.
