LOS ANGELES (AP) ? A Los Angeles judge has set the stage for trial of a civil suit by Michael Jackson's mother against concert giant AEG Live.

Katherine Jackson claims the company negligently hired the doctor later convicted of involuntary manslaughter in the singer's death.

The judge's rulings Thursday anticipate a three-month trial that will revisit events preceding the singer's death from an anesthetic overdose in 2009.

The judge will allow AEG to raise the issue of child molestation charges against Michael Jackson although lawyers for his mother claim it's irrelevant because he was acquitted.

Katherine Jackson and the singer's children Paris and Prince could be witnesses.

Katherine Jackson's lawyers objected to the appearance of Dr. Conrad Murray as a witness, but the judge said he could testify without the jury present.

2012 NPC Orlando Metropolitan Bodybuilding Championship:Figure ...

Fitness and Figure are two distinct forms of competition. In a Fitness contest, the competitors show off their physiques (still not as big as bodybuilders) and perform a demanding aerobic routine. In a Figure contest, the emphasis is on the physique and there is not a routine round. Curves are compulsory, and facial beauty is prized. However, the physique guidelines are similar, and many women cross over from one to the other. The division emerged on the scene when the numbers for Fitness competitions started to dwindle.[1] Typically these competitions are held as part of the same events as bodybuilding contests.

Chinese Solar Panel Maker Suntech Goes Bankrupt

The future doesn't look so bright for China-based Suntech, one of the world's largest makers of solar panels: On Wednesday, it was forced into bankruptcy after missing a $541 million payment to bondholders.

Suntech Power Holdings, based in Wuxi on the outskirts of Shanghai, is largely a victim of its own success, borrowing heavily for expansion in recent years (as did Chinese competitors Trina Solar and Yingli Green Energy). Although worldwide demand for solar panels is high, the ramp-up in production created "enormous oversupply and a ferocious price war," according to a New York Times article in October.

(Solyndra, the U.S. solar panel maker that received government loan guarantees and subsequently went into Chapter 11 bankruptcy, has sued Suntech, Trina and Yingli, claiming the Chinese trio of companies conspired to drive it out of business)

From 2009 to 2011, Suntech more than doubled its annual production capacity to 2,400 megawatts, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.

It notes that Suntech got its start in 2002 under founder Shi Zhengrong, who was ousted earlier this month as the company sought aid from regional authorities in Wuxi.

Shi "took the company public three years later, becoming the world's first solar billionaire. He obtained credit from the China Development Bank Corp. to wrest control of the industry from German and Japanese competitors," Bloomberg says.

While U.S. and European solar companies have been forced into restructuring, Beijing has continued to support its own solar industries until December, when China's State Council signaled it would stop funding money-losing companies, according to The Wall Street Journal.

CAIRO (AP) ? A panel of judges on Wednesday recommended the dissolution of Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood, the Islamist group from which President Mohammed Morsi hails, arguing it has no legal status.

The recommendation is not binding, but is significant given charges by the opposition that the Brotherhood's leadership is the real power behind Morsi. The president and Brotherhood have repeatedly denied the charge.

The recommendation was made to a high administrative court that is expected to rule later this month on the Brotherhood's legitimacy. The judges' panel, which was providing an advisory opinion to the court, said that the organization does not have a proper legal status.

The Brotherhood's legal status has for years been caught up in multiple court cases. Formed in 1928, it was dissolved in 1954 by military rulers. Despite the ban, it grew into Egypt's most organized and widespread political force, with authorities alternating between tolerance of its activities and fierce crackdowns on it.

The ban on it was lifted by the ruling military after the fall of autocrat Hosni Mubarak in February 2011. It then formed a political party that went on to dominate parliamentary elections. Morsi, a Brotherhood veteran, was the party leader until he was elected president in June last year and he formally left the party.

In response to the judges' recommendation, the Brotherhood's legal adviser said Wednesday that the group registered with authorities earlier this year and planned to do so again when parliament adopts new legislation regulating the work of NGOs. All non-governmental organizations are required to register with the government.

"We never publicized that we registered the group because that does not add or take away anything," Abdel-Moneim Abdel-Maqsoud, the legal adviser, told Al-Jazeera television.

It is unclear why the group did not publicize previously that it has been registered when it is accused almost daily of being an illegal organization, and there was no independent confirmation that the Brotherhood was registered. Mubarak-era laws governing NGOs still in effect bar them from many political activities, including backing a political party through advocacy or funding, and include requirements for reporting the NGO's finances. The Brotherhood says its political arm ? the Freedom and Justice Party ? is organizationally separate from the group.

Ahmed Aref, a Brotherhood spokesman, pointed out that the recommendation does not amount to a court ruling.

"We are waiting for the new legislation to be adopted and we will immediately legalize the group," said Aref. "There is nothing that should stop us from doing that," he told The Associated Press.

He pointed to court cases the Brotherhood won in the decades before its banning in 1954 that confirmed its status as a religious organization.

Wednesday's recommendation came two days before a planned protest outside the headquarters of the Brotherhood in a district of eastern Cairo. The demonstration is to protest an assault last weekend by Brotherhood supporters on reporters and activists outside the building.

The Brotherhood says its supporters were provoked by the activists and that the reporters were involved in the protest. Video clips posted on social networks show the activists trying to plaster posters and paint graffiti on the building's outside walls. When Brotherhood members tried to stop them, the protesters responded with taunts and hostile chants.

Other clips show the Brotherhood's members, mostly bearded with a heavy build, punching and slapping the protesters and hitting them with sticks. Those assaulted included a woman.

Diaa Rashwan, the newly elected head of the journalists' union, has lodged a complaint over the assault on the reporters with the attorney general, the country's top prosecutor.

False Alarm Mammograms Affect Women for Years

Women who receive bad news after a mammogram may have psychological difficulties ? regardless of whether they later turn out to actually have breast cancer, a new study from Denmark shows.?

Women in the study who received a "false positive" mammogram result, who were subsequently found to not have breast cancer, reported a similar degree of change in their calmness and their values six months later compared with women who later learned they did have breast cancer, the study showed.

"Having a false positive is not harmless and causes undesirable outcomes in the long run," the researchers wrote in their study, published today (March 18) in the journal Annals of Family Medicine.

The researchers at the University of Copenhagen looked at 454 women in Denmark who, over a one-year period, received abnormal findings on a mammogram, including 272 women whose abnormal findings turned out to be a false alarm. They compared these women with 900 who received normal screening results.

"Screening for cancer has the potential for intended beneficial effects, with the reduction on cancer mortality as the most important," the researchers wrote. "Inevitably, however, screening for cancer also has unintended harmful effects," such as detecting cancers that would never cause problems and false-positive results.

The women in the study completed a questionnaire and reported aspects of their mental states such as whether they were feeling dejected or anxious, or if their mammogram findings were negatively affecting their sleep or sexuality.

Three years later, women who had received false positives were better off psychologically than women who had breast cancer, but still worse off than women with normal mammograms, according to the study.

The researchers noted that some women with abnormal mammograms had opted not to participate in the study, with many of them saying they were too scared about their results to participate. "We might therefore have underestimated the negative psychosocial consequences for those women with breast cancer and false positives," the researchers wrote.

In Denmark, women ages 50 to 69 are screened every other year.

In the U.S., screening guidelines vary ? the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommends that women be screened every two years starting at age 50, whereas the American Cancer Society recommends screening begin at 40 and be repeated yearly.

Over a decade of screening, as many as 60 percent of women may receive a false-positive result, previous studies have shown.

Pass it on: Women who experience a "false alarm" mammogram may experience negative psychological effects for years afterward.

Turkish media reports confession in murder of American tourist

Police officers escort a Turkish man identified only as Ziya T., center, suspected of killing New York City woman Sarai Sierra who died from a fatal blow to the head in Istanbul in January, outside a security office in Istanbul, Turkey, Monday, March 18, 2013.

By Andrew Rafferty, Staff Writer, NBC News

A reported videotaped confession from the Turkish man suspected of killing an American tourist in Istanbul appeared on a Turkish newspaper?s website Monday, showing the suspect recounting how he came to allegedly bludgeon the woman to death.

The man identified by authorities only as "Ziya T." was arrested by Turkish police on Sunday in connection with death of a New York City woman whose body was found beaten to death in the ruins of Istanbul?s old city wall last month.

A taped video confession appeared Monday on Turkey?s Hurriyet Daily News, in which a man admits to killing 33-year-old Sarai Sierra after struggling with her for almost a half hour.

Hurriyet says it acquired the footage without information on how, when or where it was recorded.

In the video, the man? admits to remembering very little about the incident. ?I had sniffed too much glue,? the man says in the video, according to an English translation provided underneath.

?I had lost myself,? he says.

Ziya guesses that he hit the mother of two with a heavy object while noting his memory is hazy of the details. According to reports, the American hit the suspect with her cell phone after he accosted her and tried to kiss her. In a rage he allegedly struck her, ultimately leading to her death.

In the video, Ziya claims to have not known Sierra was an American tourist.

The next morning he returned to the scene of the crime and covered Sierra?s body, the suspect says in the video. He remained in Turkey until escaping to Syria when police found the body ten days after the attack.

Turkish news organizations reported that the suspect was wounded fighting with the rebels in Syria, a country ravaged by a civil war that has lasted two years. In the fighting Ziya?s leg was wounded, according to reports. That resulted in him returning to Turkey where he was eventually captured.
