He was arrested Aug. 13 for investigation of violating the order when he was found near a child care center at the University of California, Los Angeles. He had a camera with him at the time, but he told a local TV station that there wasn't any film in it.

McClellan was arrested again — several hours later — this time for trespassing after he did an interview with the TV station on university grounds. He had been told not to return to the campus after his first arrest. Prosecutors did not pursue the trespassing charges.

Superior Court Judge Melvin Sandvig issued the order Aug. 3 requiring McClellan to stay at least 30 feet away from every person under age 18 in California for a three-year period, said Nick Velasquez, a spokesman for the Los Angeles city attorney's office.

A three-year order amounts to what is termed a preliminary injunction, and cannot be issued without the statutory hearing and notice requirements, according to the city attorney's office.

Superior Court spokeswoman Pat Kelly said Sandvig could not comment because the case is pending. A call to his chambers went unanswered late Tuesday.

A cellphone message left for McClellan was not returned.

McClellan is unemployed and has been living out of his car. He stirred controversy in Southern California when he arrived this summer from Washington state, where he had lived with his parents.

McClellan maintained a website in Washington where he posted photos of children he had taken in public places. He also discussed how he liked to stake out parks, public libraries, fast-food restaurants and other areas where little girls, or "LGs," congregated.

His server took his website down more than a month ago. McClellan, who said he lives on supplemental security income and suffers from depression, has maintained that he launched the site as a form of therapy and wouldn't do anything illegal.

McClellen also has a hearing set for Friday on a temporary restraining order preventing him from coming within 10 yards of children in the city of Santa Clarita in northern Los Angeles County, authorities said.

Online brokerage giants TD Ameritrade Holding (AMTD) and E-Trade Financial (ETFC) have been holding talks for weeks about a possible merger, The Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday.
The discussions currently are focused on making sure both companies agree on strategy, and the companies aren't yet close to a deal, the Journal reported, citing unnamed people familiar with the matter.

A spokeswoman for E-Trade said the firm's management team believes there is "tremendous value in consolidation that aligns business strategy and operational synergies and will do what is in the best interest of its customers." A spokeswoman for Omaha-based Ameritrade said the company has talked to and continues to talk to industry peers.

The companies previously have discussed an alliance but never reached a deal. This time, however, there is the added pressure of two hedge funds with big stakes in Ameritrade that have publicly urged the two companies to talk.

Jana Partners and S.A.C. Capital Advisors, which claim to collectively own 8.4% of Ameritrade shares, have been urging Ameritrade to join forces with a major competitor such as E-Trade or Charles Schwab (SCHW) in the interests of the majority of shareholders.

Motorola Inc. (MOT) faces a purported class action lawsuit alleging it made material misrepresentations to the market, artificially inflating its stock price, attorneys from Brodsky & Smith LLC of Bala Cynwyd, Pa., said Tuesday.

The suit was filed in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois on behalf of shareholders who purchased shares of Motorola, a Schaumburg, Ill., telecommunications company, between July 19, 2006, and Jan. 4.

A spokeswoman for Motorola said the company is reviewing the complaint and will respond at the appropriate time. She also said Motorola plans to vigorously defend itself against the allegations.

A spokeswoman for the U.S. attorney in the Southern District of New York, which is overseeing the case, declined to comment. An attorney for Mr. Makov couldn't be reached.

Mr. Makov would be the second person to plead guilty in the case. He is one of two people who didn't work at KPMG, but his guilty plea should give the government's case a boost. Federal prosecutors indicted 19 individuals on tax-fraud charges in 2005 for their roles in the sale and marketing of bogus shelters.

The government billed the case as the largest tax-fraud case in U.S. history. But last month the federal judge overseeing the case dismissed the charges against 13 of the defendants after finding that prosecutors violated their constitutional rights by pressuring KPMG to cut off payment of their legal fees.

The government denies using any undue influence in KPMG's legal fee decision and plans to appeal. If the judge's ruling is reversed, the 13 former defendants could be indicted again.

For now, opening statements in the trial against the remaining defendants is scheduled for Oct. 16. Two of the defendants -- John Larson and Robert Pfaff -- left KPMG and formed Presidio Advisory Services, where Mr. Makov worked. Prosecutors allege the firm earned fees helping to sell bogus tax shelters. The other defendants are R.J. Ruble, a former law partner at Sidley Austin LLP, and David Greenberg, a former partner at KPMG.

Each of the remaining defendants has pleaded not guilty and is fighting the charges.

KPMG admitted to criminal wrongdoing but avoided indictment that could have put the tax giant out of business. Instead, the firm reached a deferred-prosecution agreement that included a $456 million penalty. Last week, the federal court in Manhattan received $150,000 from Mr. Makov as part of a bail modification agreement that allows him to travel to Israel.

Each test, he said, would cost about $50. "The numbers are staggering," he told CNN in a telephone interview. "We need to act fast. The sooner these kids are identified, the better." If a significant number of children were identified as having been poisoned by the heavy metal, Killino said he would consider expanding his suit "to a mass tort action."

He acknowledged, though, that it may not be possible to determine whether the exposure was related to the Mattel products or to another potential source of exposure. The Sarge recall affected toys made between May 2007 and July 2007 that contained lead paint.

That followed the August 1 recall of 976,000 toys from Mattel's Fisher-Price division -- including Dora the Explorer and Sesame Street characters.

Mattel (Charts, Fortune 500) said it subcontracted the work to companies that failed to follow its strict guidelines.

Lead is particularly toxic to the bodies and brains of children under the age of seven. Even small amounts can cause learning disabilities and brain damage that may not be diagnosed until years after the exposure.
