Authorities say missing Montana teacher is dead (AP)

HELENA, Mont. ? Authorities said Friday that two men in the Dakotas were being questioned in connection with the death of a Montana math teacher who vanished last weekend when she left her house for a run.

Sidney police Chief Frank DiFonzo said a 47-year-old man was in custody in the Williams County jail in North Dakota, while a 22-year-old man was being questioned in Rapid City, S.D. He did not identify them and declined to answer questions about the investigation.

Sidney Public School officials posted a statement online saying they learned of Sherry Arnold's death Friday morning. The statement did not provide details.

"I think we are starting to find some closure in the whole deal," said Sidney Mayor Bret Smelser, who knew Arnold and her parents well. "The news is not good, and as far as I know we don't have a body yet."

FBI Special Agent in Charge David J. Johnson, of Salt Lake City, said a tip from the public led to the two men. The FBI hasn't confirmed Arnold's death.

The popular 43-year-old teacher from the oil boom town of Sidney near the North Dakota border had been missing since last Saturday morning. The only clue to her disappearance that had been publicly released was that one of her shoes was found along her running route.

Authorities had been investigating the possibility Arnold was abducted.

Karen Arnold Truax of St. Paul, Minn., the daughter of Sherry Arnold's husband, Gary, told The Billings Gazette the family wants some privacy and "time to process what has happened."

"We appreciate everything that everyone did to help us in this search. We are so heartbroken that this is the outcome," Truax said. "We just sincerely appreciate all the love and support that continues to come from the community."

Both Sherry and Gary Arnold were employees of the Sidney school system and have five children combined from prior marriages, according to the Gazette. Two live at home and attend the same school system where Sherry Arnold worked for the past 18 years.

Hundreds of residents, police, firefighters and others combed the town and surrounding countryside earlier this week. The school district provided buses to transport members of search teams and set up a fund to defer expenses.

Motorola Droid Razr Maxx hands-on (video)

Its showing wasn't as noteworthy as it was last year, but Motorola still at least brought a few new goodies to put on display. The latest major addition to Verizon's Droid Razr family, the Razr Maxx, was on hand, as were the white and purple variants of the original version. So what makes the $300 subsidized Maxx so different from its predecessor? Simply enough, the name is a direct reflection of the phone's battery life, as it sports a thicker (translating to a thickness of 8.99mm, a couple millimeters thicker than the original) 3,300 mAh juicepack that promises an out-of-this-world 21 hour talk time. Sadly, we didn't have 21 full hours to dedicate to testing this claim, but we did have enough time to get a few pictures and a video of the entire Droid Razr family together at last below the break.

Actress Heather Locklear in hospital after 911 call (Reuters)

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) ? "Melrose Place" actress Heather Locklear was taken to the hospital on Thursday after emergency services were called to her home near Los Angeles, police said.

The Sheriff's department in Ventura County, west of Los Angeles said that emergency services responded to a 911 call from Locklear's home and "determined that she needed to be transported to the hospital for further medical attention."

Representatives of the actress did not return calls for comment but celebrity websites TMZ and RadarOnline said Locklear may have mixed prescription drugs and alcohol.

Locklear, who also appeared in the TV comedy "Spin City" has a history of depression, spending time in rehab in 2008.

The actress was married to rock star Tommy Lee and later Richie Sambora in the 1990s. In 2007 she began dating fellow "Melrose Place" actor Jack Wagner but their engagement was called off two months ago.

UK government to review racist killers' sentences (AP)

LONDON ? Britain's top legal officer will review the sentences given to the killers of black British teenager Stephen Lawrence amid criticism they are too lenient.

The office of Attorney General Dominic Grieve says he will examine the prison sentences after a request from a member of the public.

On Wednesday a judge sentenced David Norris and Gary Dobson to a minimum of 14 and 15 years in prison respectively for Lawrence's 1993 stabbing death. Because they were under 18 at the time, they were sentenced as teenagers rather than adults.

An adult convicted of a knife murder could expect to get at least 30 years.

Lawrence was attacked by a racist gang as he waited for a bus, in a case that shocked the country and exposed incompetence and racism within London's police force.

Sunni lawmakers keep up Iraqi parliament boycott

BAGHDAD?? Lawmakers from Iraq's largest Sunni-backed bloc stood by their boycott of parliament when the assembly reconvened Tuesday after a two-week break ? another reminder of the deepening political crisis that has revived the country's sectarian tensions.

The Iraqiya bloc is also considering a pullout from the ruling coalition to protest an arrest warrant by Shiite Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki's government for the country's top Sunni politician, Vice President Tariq al-Hashemi. Iraqiya lawmakers accuse al-Maliki of hoarding power and want a greater role in governance, particularly over decisions involving state security forces.

"We will keep boycotting until they fulfill our demands of authentic partnership and stop marginalizing Iraqiya," Sunni lawmaker Ahmed al-Mesari said.

Iraqiya suspended its participation in parliament on Dec. 18 ? the same day the last American troops left Iraq at the end of a nearly nine-year war ? to protest the control of key posts by al-Maliki.

Al-Hashemi, a member of Iraqiya, remains holed up in Iraq's northern Kurdish region. He is accused of running a hit squad targeting government officials ? charges he denies and says are politically motivated.

In another indication of the growing sectarian tensions in Iraq, Kurdish lawmakers briefly walked out of the first parliamentary session of 2012, saying they were upset because Shiite lawmaker Hussein al-Asadi criticized Iraq's President Jalal Talabani, the country's senior Kurdish politician, for sheltering al-Hashemi. They later agreed to rejoin the session.

While officially a guest of his Kurdish boss, Talabani, al-Hashemi's presence in the semiautonomous northern Kurdish region effectively puts him out of reach of security forces under al-Maliki's control. The Kurdish region is part of Iraq but has its own security forces. The Iraqi army and national police do not operate there.

The political crisis threatens to further destabilize Iraqi politics and security just weeks after the last U.S. combat troops left the country.

Iraq was controlled by the minority Sunnis under Saddam until the U.S.-led war that began in 2003 ousted him. The country's majority Shiites have dominated the government since Saddam's ouster, though the U.S. has pushed hard for the inclusion of Sunnis and Kurds with a meaningful role in the governing coalition.

Al-Maliki has threatened to form a government without al-Hashemi's Sunni-backed political party, though he would likely need to retain the support of the Kurdish bloc to hold onto power.

As parliament convened Tuesday, Iraq's Interior Ministry ? which al-Maliki controls ? announced it had arrested a ring of 21 Sunni insurgents allegedly involved in attacks in Baghdad.

Deputy Interior Minister Adnan al-Asadi said the cell is linked to Saddam Hussein's outlawed Baath party and was responsible for about 300 attacks against government employees and security forces.

The alleged leader of the cell, Abdul-Khaliq Abdul-Sattar, told a news conference organized by the ministry that he received orders from Izzat Ibrahim al-Douri, the highest ranking member of Saddam's ousted regime still at large.

Justin Bieber Kicks Off New Year With New Track

Justin Bieber isn't new to creating holiday songs using his new-millennium, R&B swagger, as evidenced on his Christmas album, Under The Mistletoe. And this weekend, he gave New Year's a try. The singer tweeted a New Year's-themed track, "Happy New Year," which features his pal Jaden Smith rapping.

The slow jam is certainly swaggerfied but also reflective, featuring lyrics that both play up the singer's pop-star image and look ahead to a more hopeful year. "I'm gonna make your cheeks red when I kiss your neck/Girl I'm never leavin' 'cause you are the best baby," he sings. "I wanna give you everything/Never feel 'cause girl you're coming home with me."

In a spoken breakdown, he says, "2012 is the year to be better, stronger and closer to the people around you. So grab someone special, and just, you know."

Smith also shows some bad-boy personality and proves that rapping runs in the Smith DNA. He raps, " 'Cause 2012 is the year of the love/And we gon' start it off/We can get a plane today and get a car toma'/We don't do it small at all/No girl tell me what I gotta to do/I can be the beat that you rockin' to/I can do anything, nothing is impossible, especially with you girl/And I never need a new girl/This love is true girl/Aye welcome to the crew girl."

Not only was Bieber gracing fans with new tracks over the weekend, but he also took the stage during "Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve 2012" in Times Square, not far from where his lady love Selena Gomez was hosting "NYE in NYC 2012." The twosome later partied together at Glass House, E! News reports.

A source says, "He...danced with Selena, showing off, picking her up and swinging her around like it was 'Dancing With the Stars.' "

Bieber recently debuted another track"Be Alright," during his holiday special, "Justin Bieber: Home For The Holidays." He's expected to drop his new album, Believe, later this year.
