Authorities arrested two additional suspects Thursday in the alleged assault on a man by a group of skateboarders, police said. There are now five suspects involved in the case.
Viktor Silcock, 25, of Huntington Beach, was allegedly attacked by a group of teens May 10 and remains hospitalized.
Huntington Beach police arrested a juvenile suspect on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon with great bodily injury. The juvenile was booked at Orange County Juvenile Hall.
Orange County Probation also arrested an additional juvenile on suspicion of a probation violation, police said. That juvenile also was at Juvenile Hall and Huntington Beach detectives "anticipate" the suspect to be booked with the same charges as the first juvenile later this week.
Police originally arrested four teens on suspicion of attempted murder, but later charged three with assault with a deadly weapon with great bodily injury and released the fourth suspect without charges.
According to Orange County Superior Court records Silcock had numerous run-ins with law enforcement, with several cases in 2008 and 2009 and one in 2012.
He was convicted in August 2012 for vandalism, carrying a dagger, making criminal threats and resisting an officer. He was sentenced to 90 days in jail, three years of probation and ordered to attend an anger management program.
Silcock was convicted of driving under the influence in October 2008, where he was sentenced to a total of 21 days in jail, three months in the First Offender Alcohol program and a one year suspension of his driver's license.
On separate occasions, he pleaded guilty to driving without a valid driver's license and driving on a suspended or revoked license. He was sentenced a combined 22 days in jails for both cases.

The buzz is that health care played a leading role in Conor Lamb’s upset win in last week's special House election in Pennsylvania. But in reality, we can’t say that health care was a decisive factor in Lamb’s win, at least not based on the one poll that is being used as a basis for that claim.
Between the lines: The poll, conducted by Public Policy Polling and funded by advocacy groups, found that 15% of self-reported voters said health care was the “most important issue” in the election, and an additional 37% said it was a “very important issue.” However, and notably, the poll didn't ask about any other iss...
The big picture: Yes, the Affordable Care Act is becoming more popular. And yes, the energy has flipped from Republicans to Democrats on health care, and health care will be a rallying cry for Democrats in upcoming races. But that doesn't mean it's the only issue that matters.
Our own polling shows that health care is among the top issues that registered voters want 2018 candidates to talk about. But other issues like the economy and jobs and immigration are high on voters’ minds as well.
In interpreting the PPP poll, some have combined the “very important” responses with the “most important” responses. When you do that, more than 50% of voters say health care was important to their vote. That sounds impressive, but the same is true for many other issues, including the economy and jobs, immigration, Nor...
Voters who said health care is their most important issue tend to be more liberal and Democratic, and that's exactly who turned out in the special election in Pennsylvania (according to Cook Political Report). So it is unsurprising that they said health care was important to their vote, as it has historically been amon...
This was also an interactive voice response (IVR) poll (sometimes referred to as a “robo-poll”), in which pollsters only interview households with landline phones. More than half of U.S. homes do not have a landline telephone. While these polls are widely used, polls that rely on landline-only interviews disproportiona...
These groups tend to be less likely to be vote, but the past several months have demonstrated that we may need to reassess our assumptions about who will be showing up to vote this November.
The bottom line: As the head of a leading health policy organization, of course I always root for health care to be as important as possible. But we cannot be sure that it was the top issue in Lamb's victory, or that it will be one in the coming elections, which will turn not just on issues but on other factors — inclu...
And how important health care is will depend on how much, and how effectively, candidates campaign on the issue.
Democrat Darcel Clark will be the new district attorney in the Bronx. She replaces outgoing DA Robert Johnson, who dropped out of the race in a controversial maneuver in September. NY1's Bobby Cuza filed the following report.
From childhood, through her distinguished career as a prosecutor, then a judge who moved up the ranks to the appellate division, Darcel Clark said her lifelong dream was to become the Bronx's first female district attorney. On Tuesday, Bronx voters granted her wish.
"It's been a dream that I've had since I was a young girl growing up in the Soundview projects," she said. "The Bronx was, is, and always will be my home."
Clark became the Democrat nominee less than six weeks ago, when the current DA, Robert Johnson, abruptly announced he was abandoning his re-election bid and seeking a judgeship. Because Johnson had already won the primary, that meant Bronx Democratic Party leaders could handpick his replacement, essentially cutting vot...
Clark benefitted from her ties to powerful Bronx Democrats like state Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie, who introduced her Tuesday night.
"If you look at her resume, I don't think you could come up with a better reusme for anyone who wanted to run for judge, for district attorney," Heastie said.
Surrounded by family, friends and supporters, including a number of Bronx elected officials, Clark laid out her vision for the office, which includes eliminating a notorious case backlog and ensuring speedier trials.
District Attorney Johnson was not here Tuesday night. Clark did not refer to him directly, but she did elude to some of the perceived shortcomings of his office, saying, for instance, that under her watch, there would be no more ignoring of the problems at Rikers Island.
"Today, we turn the page, and I aim to move this office forward with new levels of accountability and responsiveness we have not seen in the Bronx before," Clark said.
Clark easily beat out Republican and Conservative Party candidate Robert Siano, and indeed barely had to mount a campaign. On Tuesday, she promised change and steadfast justice.
"Tomorrow is going to be a new day in the Bronx," she said.
Innovation is important. But not all innovations are necessarily great ideas. In the latter case, I'm referring toLending Club , the online peer-to-peer lender that describes itself as the "world's largest online marketplace connecting borrowers and sellers."
Want a loan? You no longer have to walk into a bank branch and deal with a loan officer. Now all it takes is opening an online account with Lending Club and filling out a "simple and fast online application that improves the often time-consuming and frustrating loan application process." Lending Club then matches you w...
In this way, Lending Club is more Nasdaq than Wells Fargo. It's the ETrade Financial of lending. The company doesn't put its own capital at risk, it instead allows investors to do so with theirs (for discerning readers, I am, of course, oversimplifying ETrade's business model for the purpose of illustr...
To say this model has proven successful thus far would be an understatement. Since 2007, Lending Club has facilitated $6.2 billion in consumer and small business loans via its marketplace.In the third quarter of 2014 alone, it brokered $1.2 billion in various types of credit.
But the strength of Lending Club's model is also its biggest weakness. Democratizing credit risk exposes individual investors to something even the best banks in the world have failed to tame on a consistent basis. Lending Club's response is that it relies on "proprietary credit decisioning and scoring models...
It's also important to note that diversification is one of the principal ways to combat credit risk. Banks do this by lending money to borrowers in varied geographic regions. They do it by carefully watching their exposure to individual industries. And they do it by diversifying their income streams so that, when ...
Suffice it to say most individual lenders using Lending Club's platform don't have the means to diversify to the same degree. As a result, it's hard to imagine the next wholesale downturn in the consumer credit market won't have a demonstrably negative impact on the investors in Lending Club's ...

Just six days after City Comptroller Scott Stringer blasted what he called the city’s abysmal record of giving contracts to minority- and women-owned businesses, Mayor Bill de Blasio unveiled a new 30 percent MWBE participation goal to be met by 2021 and the appointment of Deputy Mayor of Strategic Initiatives Richard ...
The goal seeks for the city to award at least 30 percent of the dollar amount of city contracts to MWBEs by 2021, which would include prime and subcontracts with mayoral and certain non-mayoral agencies. The mayor said that in fiscal year 2016, MWBEs were awarded 14 percent of all contract dollars—nearly double the amo...
Buery—who implemented de Blasio’s Pre-K for All initiative—will be assisted by Rev. Jonnel Doris, the city’s senior MWBE adviser. The two will formulate policies and submit recommendations to increase contracting opportunities.
The new goal, he said, is meant to address that more works needs to be done.
“Like a lot of other things we’ve done, we made sure that when we’re ready to come out with a goal that we really believe we could live with it and achieve it and it wasn’t just talk,” de Blasio continued.
The mayor has set a goal of awarding $16 billion in contracts to MWBEs by 2025 and to double the number of certified and re-certified MWBEs at SBS from 4,500 to 9,000 by 2019.
The announcement may sound familiar—in 2014, the governor set a 30 percent goal after he said the state exceeded a 20 percent goal set in 2011 and his counsel oversees the state’s MWBE program. De Blasio said he appreciates that the state has “had high goals and the tools to achieve them”—but he feels the city needs ac...
“Without acting like an expert on this debate—there are others here who know more about the back and forth in Albany, obviously—I think it’s safe to say that the Republican State Senate has not been overly friendly to empowerment efforts, efforts to address greater equality for minority- and women-owned businesses,” he...
Advocates such as Bertha Lewis of the Black Institute—his one-time ally who has become a relentless critic—had complained that former counsel Maya Wiley, who was also MWBE director, wore too many hats. Lewis has said she believes Doris does not have any power as an adviser and has reiterated calls for the appointment o...
When the Observer asked the mayor whether Buery would deal exclusively with the MWBE program, he said Buery “has a lot of things he has to do, too” but that he’s “very comfortable with this construct.” He said he has always advocated for more leadership on the MWBE issue.

With the announcements of the CIF-Southern Section open division playoff field for boys basketball just days away, Maranatha head coach Tim Tucker is finding life on the bubble to be a nerve-wracking thing.
Tucker’s Minutemen enter the final week of the season with a good, not great record of 13-8. But the Minutemen are closing in on the Olympic League championship and feature the leading scorer in the Southern Section in recent Oregon commit Tyler Dorsey, who is averaging 34.7 points per game.
Those factors combined with the high preseason expectations of being one of the Southland’s top 10 teams, make it not hard to see why Maranatha is still in the mix for an open division berth despite not having the most glamorous record around.
The open division was designed to pit up to the best 16 teams in the Southern Section against each other rather than playing in their current divisions. Last season was the first year it was used.
There’s a caveat to Tucker’s opinion of his team. And that would be 6-foot-10 post player Trevor Stanback, who hasn’t played this season due to an undisclosed illness and likely won’t be back for the playoffs either.
“If we had Stanback, put us in,” Tucker said. “But we don’t have Stanback. So what says we’re an open division team? Chino Hills beat us twice. Long Beach Poly blew us out. We won a close game with Cathedral. Corona Centennial beat us by 30. What says we’re an open division team?
Entering the final week of the season, there no less than four teams in the Rio Hondo League still harboring league title aspirations. It figures to be one nutty week.
La Canada and South Pasadena enter the week tied atop the standings with matching 6-2 records in league. Right behind is Temple City at 5-3 in league. Then there’s San Marino at 4-4.
On Tuesday, the first clues will roll in after La Canada visits Blair, Temple City goes to San Marino and South Pasadena hosts Monrovia, which last week caused the chaos by stunning La Canada.
On Thursday, things end stylishly with San Marino hosting rival South Pas, which lost to the Titans at home in late January. That same night, La Canada visits Temple City. Given how the season has gone to date, expect more craziness.
All that stands between Keppel and yet another Almont League title is a home game with Schurr on Tuesday. Win that one, and the Aztecs are league champs with a game left to be played before the regular season is over.
Pasadena and Glendale enter the final week of the season tied atop the Pacific League standings. The Bulldogs couldn’t ask for a better way to end the season than what lays ahead.
Pasadena has home games this week against Burbank on Tuesday and Muir on Thursday. The Bulldogs won the first meeting with both teams by double digits, respectively, on the road.
FRANKFURT (Reuters) - German utility RWE, its works council and trade unions say they oppose plans to end coal-fired power generation in Germany around 2035, raising questions over a possible compromise between a government commission and environmentalists.
RWE said the date was unacceptable and more investments in grids and renewable energy were needed to secure energy supply in the future. Climate protection goals need to be balanced with the interests of customers and employees, it said in a statement.
Its remarks were echoed by trade unions and RWE’s works council.
Der Spiegel news weekly earlier reported that Ronald Pofalla, one of four heads of a government body tasked with planning Germany’s exit from coal and setting an exit date by the end of the year, had proposed to abandon coal between 2035 and 2038.
Germany aims to raise wind and solar power’s energy share from a third now to 65 percent by 2030 to help to cut carbon dioxide emissions and achieve its climate commitments.
Coal-to-power production both from brown coal and imported hard coal accounts for 40 percent of Germany’s total power production, making the exit from coal difficult while maintaining reliable supply to industries and households.
Germany is also abandoning nuclear power production by the end of 2022.
Utility companies such as RWE and Uniper have said they are prepared, having absorbed declining coal plant revenues due to competition from renewable power and developed their own phase-out plans stretching into the 2040s.
Environmental groups want to hasten the exit.
The commission will try to broker compromises and help allocate federal funds to bring new industries into regions that are now dependent on coal mining.
The Jamestown area could see up to 3 inches of rain between this morning and early Tuesday, the result of former Hurricane Gordon making its way north, the Nation Weather Service predicted.
Rain is expected to move into the area today and continue steadily through Monday. Much of Chautauqua County is expected to see up to 2 inches of rain, while areas such as Olean and Wellsville could see up to 4 inches of rain as a result of the now tropical storm.
Jamestown, meanwhile, is in the middle — with the National Weather Service in Buffalo predicting 2 to 3 inches of precipitation in the 48-hour span.
The weather service issued a flood watch from this evening to Tuesday morning for Cattaraugus and Allegheny counties.
A flood watch was also issued for Warren County, Pa., from 8 p.m. Saturday through Monday evening.
Much more rain is expected to fall further south of the Southern Tier, in portions of Pennsylvania and Ohio, the Nation Weather Service said.
