Authorities from three state, including California, plus the FBI, are stepping up their search for the so-called “AK-47 Bandit.” A muti-agency task force will hold a news conference on Wednesday to discuss the latest developments in the manhunt. The suspect has been linked to a series of holdups in Idaho, Washington state and locally in Chino last February. In that incident, he shot and wounded a police officer as he fled. The bandit is also suspected of robbing banks in Vacaville and Sacramento. Authorities released surveillance images of the suspect from a recent heist at the an East Idaho Credit Union in Rexburg on Nov. 7. The suspect is described as a white male, 25-40 years old, with a stocky build. Anyone with information is asked to contact their nearest FBI office.

Teacher With Porn Past Loses Bid to Get Job Back

(KTLA)

An Oxnard teacher who was fired after her past as a porn actress was discovered by students lost her legal bid to regain her job. Stacie Halas, a science teacher at Richard B. Haydock Intermediate School, was fired by the school board last April on the grounds that her role in pornography disrupted the classroom environment. Halas appealed her firing before the Commission on Professional Competence. On Tuesday, her attorney Richard Schwab said a three-judge panel unanimously decided the 32-year old was unfit for the classroom. During a hearing last fall, Schwab had argued that Halas did not star in pornographic movies while teaching in any district. He said Halas acted in them during an eight-month period from 2005 to 2006 because of financial duress. Nitasha Sawhney, one of two lawyers representing the school district, said Halas repeatedly lied to school administrators about her acting career at the same time students were viewing the explicit videos. Halas’ decision to “engage in pornography was incompatible with her responsibilities as a role model for students and would present an insurmountable, recurring disruption to our schools should she be allowed to remain as a teacher,” said Superintentdent Jeff Chancer in a statement.

THE CANYONS SNUBBED By Sundance

The producers of Lindsay Lohan's film, "The Canyons," are stunned that their flick has been rejected by The Sundance Film Festival and they think it's largely Lindsay's fault. Apparently, the Sundance people reached out to producers to screen the movie, and we're told producers were led to believe it was a shoo-in. But TMZ found out Sundance passed on the film recently, and the film's producers believe it might be due in part to the hijinks of its troubled star.  They think Lindsay was a "turn off" to the highfalutin Sundance folks. "The Canyons" producer, Braxton Pope, tells us his agents William Morris/Endeavor are having a screening for buyers at the end of the month and a number of big companies are interested. [TMZ]

"Diff'rent Strokes" Star Conrad Bain Dead at 89

Conrad Bain, a veteran stage and film actor who became a star in middle age as the kindly white adoptive father of two young African-American brothers in the TV sitcom "Diff'rent Strokes," has died. Bain died Monday of natural causes in his hometown of Livermore, Calif., according to his daughter, Jennifer Bain. He was 89. The show that made him famous debuted on NBC in 1978, an era when television comedies tackled relevant social issues. "Diff'rent Strokes" touched on serious themes but was known better as a family comedy that drew most of its laughs from its standout child actor, Gary Coleman. [NBCLA]
