Britney Spears hands over children after dispute at her home
Sands spoke briefly, saying Kaplan: "feels at this time it would be inappropriate for him to speak to the media ... because of the serious nature of what we have all read about."
The attorneys are expected to return to court at 1:30 p.m. today. No legal papers requesting custody changes had been filed as of Friday morning, said Meredith Pierce, deputy public information officer for Los Angeles Superior Court.
Authorities were called to Spears' home in the 12000 block of Summit Circle about 8 p.m. Thursday after Federline's bodyguards went to her house to pick up Sean Preston, 2, and Jayden James, 1, who were scheduled to return to their father's custody, authorities said.
By the time officers arrived at the home, Spears had turned over her younger son to the bodyguards but had locked herself in her bedroom/bathroom suite with Sean Preston, according to an LAPD supervisor familiar with the case.

Then again, maybe we've reached the point in our politics of true gender blindness, where the bellicosity of a male candidate toward a female opponent is viewed no differently than that between two male, or female, candidates.A welcome development, indeed, but I have my doubts we're anywhere close. Let's see what happens the next time a male Republican candidate goes after a female Democrat the same way Mihos went after Healey. If spastic accusations of sexism aren't immediately sounded, and the substance of what was actually said is mulled over instead, gender may finally cease to matter in politics.In fairness to Mihos, his obsessive focus on the Big Dig is completely legitimate. What has occurred with this project is so patently outrageous, in lives lost and billions squandered, that its perversity -- even by the standards of Bay State politics -- would be much worse if we did not have at least one politician yelling from the television, like the anchorman played by Peter Finch in "Network," "I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore!"But it is also outrageous -- unbecoming even -- for Mihos to accuse Healey and Romney of having blood on their hands for the deaths in those tunnels.
Maryland primaries could matter after all
Every day it seems more likely that voters in Maryland will have a say, after all, about who gets nominated.
The Republican contest is still formless. As many as five candidates arguably have a shot at winning, and nobody knows how many will be alive a few weeks from now.
Democratic contenders Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are locked in a tight, two- person race.
So which party's primary will matter on Feb. 12 in Maryland? Conceivably, both will.
For Democrats, two factors-dollars and party rules- could meant that Feb. 5, when 22 states hold primaries and caucuses, won't be decisive.
Presidential candidates never give up, "they run out of money," said Bill Carrick, a Democratic strategist who is non-aligned this year.
Why schools aren't safe
I made a brief announcement before lunch (about the report) and the fact that the media was at Jefferys, and I urged students to continue to focus on the future and to try and move this momentum that we've gained to a higher level.Jim Spyropoulos, principal, C.W. Jefferys If there are people who are experiencing violence, or are afraid to talk about violence that they are experiencing, that's unacceptable. Is it my experience that there's a pervasive culture of fear or violence in the Toronto board? No, that is not my personal experience.Education Minister Kathleen Wynne, involved in the Toronto board as parent and trustee The big picture is not that schools are going into the ditch – because they're not. But are there kids who need assistance? Of course, and the Ontario government should cut a cheque right away for more social workers, psychologists, more adults supervising in schools.Stu Auty, chair, Canadian Safe School Network I'm not disagreeing there is some culture of fear in schools – some scary things happen and there are certain places in some schools where teachers don't want to go, even in pairs, even with walkie-talkies.
Lose the heavy load on your credit cards
It's not just that third helping of plum pudding that could be weighing you down. Millions of Australians will also have overindulged on their credit cards and now need ways to shed the excess. Assess the damage DO you know what you owe on your cards or even what the interest rate is? Lisa Montgomery from non-bank lender Resi says most people don't. "With credit readily available and with the growing popularity of automated payment options such as direct debit facilities, Australian borrowers have become more complacent and mechanical about debt," she says. "As a result, debt levels have tended to become less visible." Change this by gathering your statements and writing down what you owe and what rate of interest you're paying. Don't panic IF the figures horrify you, don't just bury your head in the sand and hope it will all go away.
