Second Bigfoot Sighting In Norway House, Manitoba: Nervous Residents Seek Answers, Offer Photos of Evidence
Written by Annie-Published May 31, 2005
A second bigfoot sighting has been reported by a young girl, and her play mates in Paupanekis Point, Norway House, Manitoba, which is located on the south end of the same First Nations reserve where ferryman, Bobby Clarke, videotaped a large, dark, bipedal creature walking along the bank of the Nelsen River.
The girls were close to a residential area, which borders the woods, at around 7:30-8:00 pm on May 20, when the encounter occurred. The woods are bordered by knee high grass, which is where the creature was standing in plain view, apparently watching the children play. One of the girls fainted from fright, after seeing "a huge creature." None of the children were hurt, but they are understandably still quite shaken, and afraid to be left alone.
Immediately following the sighting, a search party was assembled to investigate the surrounding area. Footprints were found where the actual sighting occurred, as well as deeper into the woods. Several more expeditions have been conducted since, and have resulted in finding more physical evidence. The size of some of the tracks measure "larger than a man`s size 16 shoe" said one witness, and have a clearly defined outline of the toes. The tracks have been preserved, photographed, and videotaped by Norway House residents.
Hair samples have also been found at several locations, including on the inside edge of one of the footprints, and at another location, clinging to a pine tree where more tracks, and a strong lingering odor was also reported. The odor was described to be a mix between wet dog, and skunk. A witness who has collected some of the hair samples reported, "I thought they would be thick and course and black, but they look kinda longish, half black and half white and (on some) the very bottom looks almost fine and spliced up like a fine razor split the hairs into many on one single strand."
The physical evidence collected following the most recent sighting raises some interesting questions. Where as the Nelson River tracks measured 20 inches in length, with a six foot stride, in Paupanekis Point, tracks measuring 13 inches in length, as well as 20 inches have been found. Also, hair samples given to the ACA`s expedition team were dark in color, according to Cherie Curry, a member of the team, yet the hair samples found after the second sighting are half black, and half white.
Some N.H. residents have theorized that the smaller prints may belong to a juvenile, and that it has possibly wandered away from an adult/parent, which might explain the ongoing incidents surrounding Norway House, including the frequent howls coming from wooded areas close to homes. Bobby Clarke also reported hearing strange howls on several occasions preceding his sighting.
Although details are still sketchy, a third encounter in which the creature is said to have returned to the same area as the second sighting, moving large rocks in it`s path has been reported. I`ll update if/when I learn more. I am also waiting for more photographs of tracks, and hair samples, which I`ll photograph, and post once they arrive.
This rash of sightings is not the first in this area. In 1976, multiple sightings, spread over a length of time, were reported in Poplar River, 76 miles south of Norway House. The following is the report submitted to the Vancouver Lower Mainland Division of the RCMP, following a police investigation. Norway House RCMP Report
"Norway House to Vancouver Lower Mainland Division, attention Sergeant Doane.
It was reported to our office on the 26 July 76 by the chief of the Poplar River Indian Band that many of his people have sighted on the reserve many times a large hairy animal that walks on two legs. Poplar River is located approx. 76 miles to the south of Norway House. An investigation was conducted and the results are as follows:Several people were interviewed and they all stated that the animal was approximately seven to eight feet tall and was very broad at the shoulders. It had the general body structure of a man only many times larger. A foot cast was taken of the foot impression that was left behind by the so-called monster and is held at this detachment. It measures 16 inches by five inches, and has only three toes. It's fur is a glossy gray color and it has white hair on it's head. They stated that it was very powerfully built and one man reported that he saw it swimming. To date there have been no further reports of sightings in our area. It should be noted that this so-called monster seemed very inquisitive towards the people and would come around the houses on the settlement and look in doors and windows."- Excerpt from the 1976 RCMP Report, posted on the BFRO website.
The May 20,05 Paupanekis Point sighting follows a report, and video footage, taken of a large dark creature walking along the Nelson River, in Norway House, Manitoba on April 16, 05 by ferryman, Bobby Clarke. After the videotape was aired on A Current Affair on May 4,05, ACA sent an expedition led by Dr.Franklin Ruehl, to Norway House to look for evidence. Also on the expedition team was ACA producer Brett Hudson, and artist, singer, author Cherie Curry.

Kiev - Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych denied on Saturday that he planned to resign in response to violence that left nearly 100 people dead in anti-government unrest.
"I am not leaving the country for anywhere. I do not intend to resign. I am the legitimately elected president," Yanukovych told a local television station in the eastern Ukrainian city of Kharkiv.
Yanukovych denounced what he described as a "coup d'etat" by gangsters who were terrorising Ukraine and said he would not flee the country or let it be torn apart.
In an interview with UBR, the president looked exhausted but appeared to have suffered no injuries after an incident in which he said his car had come under fire.
"The events witnessed by our country and the whole world are an example of a coup d'etat," said Yanukovych, who stood in a dark suit and blue tie.
"We are witnessing the return of the Nazis, the time when in 19030s the Nazis came to power in Germany and Austria. It is the same now ... I will do all I can to protect the country from splitting and to prevent bloodshed."
A day after signing an agreement with the opposition on resolving weeks of crisis, he has lost control of his presidential headquarters and the Interior Ministry which controls the police has turned against him.
"I will now travel in the southeast of the country. I will continue to meet people," he said. "I will stay on the territory of Ukraine. I will call on all international observers and mediators to stop the gangsters."
Refusing to recognise the legitimacy of laws and resolutions approved by parliament on Saturday, after the speaker loyal to him quit citing ill health, Yanukovych said: "I will sign nothing with gangsters who are terrorising the whole country."
He said his car had been shot at but did now say where or when.
"I am not afraid. I feel sorrow for my country," he told UBR. - Reuters

Ahwatukee Foothills resident Kimberly Curry recently started a club for kids called Big Hearts, Little Hands, hoping to instill a care for service in not just kids in the community, but also her own.
Curry said the goal of the club is to teach kids how to find ways to make a difference either on the local or global scale.
"It's for kids to come together to care, love and serve," said Curry, who's three children, ages 5, 4, and 2, are involved.
Starting out their first project with a bang, on a mission to make a global distance, will be an art fundraiser where proceeds will go to organization Project Peanut Butter, which helps feed malnourished children in Africa.
"Art for Africa" will take place on Nov. 10 at the Ahwatukee Community Center, 4700 E. Warner Road. Until then, Curry is looking for artwork from local kids and teens that will then be sold at the event.
About 60 kids are already involved, Curry said. Everything from kid-drawn caricatures, summer-sault contents, face painting, raffles, silent auctions and more will be available.
Kids as young as 2 can bring in piggybanks to donate change or make finger paints, Curry added.
"We want them to feel like they are contributing," she said.
Volunteers for the event are also needed in areas like the face painting, making balloon animals, helping pass out fliers, and supervise activity tables, among others.
As a stay-at-home mom, this is the first club Curry has ever organized. She mentioned wanting to find a way to integrate working and hanging out with her kids.
"I'm a little obsessed with my kids," she joked. "But I really wanted them to be included."
After participating in a handful of "mom's groups" through her church and friends, Curry talked about ideas with her own kids who had already enjoyed helping out in the community.
The club was put together in August, and Curry plans on future events involving visits to nursing homes, volunteering in soup kitchens, and making birthday cards for foster children.
"I really want kids to focus on people rather than things," Curry said.
Among the kids already participating, a good amount are from different areas in the Valley. Curry mentioned that some people from Utah have also donated to the cause.
"We're very excited and this seems like a good, first kickoff," Curry said.
For more information on the event, email Big Hearts, Little Hands at firstname.lastname@example.com. For more information on Project Peanut Butter or how to donate, visit projectpeanutbutter.org.

Artist of the day: The Rival Within
The Rival Within is a teenage metalcore group made up of four teens and one pre-teen: singer Matt Saunders (age 16), guitarists Kyle Gray (16) and Shawn Grantham (16), bassist Brandon Klase (17) and drummer Ian Gray (12). Their sludgy, throat-ripping sound is far beyond their years, and they've already played hardcore metal hangouts like The Brass Mug. In a town like Tampa, they're sure to go far.
"It's original, not that repetitive sounding metal with the blasting drums and super-fast guitars," said Klase. "We take our time to harmonize every instrument and to make our music the best that we can."
Click here for Taylor Schultz's full profile of The Rival Within. And look for them Friday at Transitions Art Gallery alongside Molotov Solution, King Conquer and more. Doors open at 5 p.m.; tickets are $10$12. Click here for details.

Trimethylsilanol (TMSOH) can cause damage to surfaces of scanner lenses in the semiconductor industry, and there is a critical need to measure and control airborne TMSOH concentrations. This study develops a thermal desorption (TD)-gas chromatography (GC)-mass spectrometry (MS) method for measuring trace-level TMSOH in occupational indoor air. Laboratory method optimization obtained best performance when using dual-bed tube configuration (100 mg of Tenax TA followed by 100 mg of Carboxen 569), n-decane as a solvent, and a TD temperature of 300°C. The optimized method demonstrated high recovery (87%), satisfactory precision (<15% for spiked amounts exceeding 1 ng), good linearity (

Mattias Ekstrom wins at Brands Hatch
Audi celebrated their second victory of the season in the fourth round of the DTM, held at Brands Hatch. Mattias Ekstrom won with a margin of 5.957 seconds in his Red Bull Audi A4 DTM ahead of Mercedes driver Jamie Green. On his way to his first victory of the season, the Swedish driver profited from a perfect strategy. As he pitted only late in the race, he was able to capitalize on his fresh rubber, urging Green into a mistake. Tom Kristensen who had previously won at Oschersleben, led at Brands Hatch until the 68th of 85 laps before he retired with a broken suspension. Four points adrift, he is second behind championship leader Bernd Schneider now. Behind fourth-placed Martin Tomczyk, Christian Abt finished fifth at Brands Hatch as the best driver of a year-old car.
Audi R8 wins its last race
An emotional victory rounded off the career of the Audi R8. Dindo Capello and Allan McNish won the fourth round of the American Le Mans Series at Lime Rock Park (Connecticut, USA) after a breathtaking duel with the Porsche RS Spyder driven by Romain Dumas and Timo Bernhard. One hour before the chequered flag, the Audi drivers lost the lead they had to fight so hard for when the Safety Car controlled the field. McNish battled back in the final stint and used a situation when slower cars were lapped to take the lead from Porsche again. Audi celebrated the 50th overall victory in the American Le Mans Series and a perfect farewell to the Audi R8 that clinched 63 victories out of 80 starts between 2000 and 2006.
Demo lap of the Audi R10 TDI in Ingolstadt
On Wednesday, Audi celebrated the historic inaugural victory of a diesel-powered sportscar in the Le Mans 24 Hour race with a motocade in the city of Ingolstadt. Marco Werner drove the winning Audi R10 TDI from the Audi Piazza to the Rathausmarkt. Some 10,000 spectators cheered Werner. Next weekend, Allan McNish will drive the Audi R10 TDI at the "Festival of Speed" in Goodwood. Le Mans record winner Tom Kristensen will be seen at the wheel of the Bentley Speed 8 in Goodwood, the car that helped him clinch the 2003 Le Mans victory.

Fourth, fifth and sixth positions were also claimed by SEAT Leon drivers. In the second heat which was finished behind the Safety Car, James Thompson was the best-placed SEAT driver on fourth spot. In the championship classification, the Briton is second just three points behind the leader. Peter Terting was the best German driver in the first overseas race of the 2006 WTCC season.

I played the famous island 17th hole at the TPC Sawgrass a couple of years ago and lived to tell about it. Standing on the tee box, with a pitching wedge, I swung with all my might and splashed my ball into the drink. Undeterred (and refusing to walk to the shorter drop area) I teed up another rock, swung that same pitching wedge, and found terra firma, some 25 feet below the pin. Know what happened next? I traversed the walkway, studied my line and buried the putt for a satisfying bogey. From Fred Couples's ace, to Tiger Woods's miracle putt, to Len Mattiace's disaster, the 17th hole of the Players Championship has seen it all. Here are two stories from the pages of The New York Times, the first by Bill Pennington on the difficulty playing the hole, the second by yours truly on last year's caddie tournament on No. 17.

There are stores where we're going, right?
There are things about myself that I wish just by saying out loud would be true. Like, "I tan well." Or, "I believe in aging gracefully." And of course, "I am a good packer."
In reality, I am not a good packer at all. In fact, next to the emergency services division at the Titanic, I may be the worst packer in recorded travel history.
I lack that certain mystical ability to propel my mind's eye to different geographical locations whose temperatures vary from my usual rut. If it's seventy-two degrees inside my family room, well it must be sunny with a chance of ceiling fan wind all over the entire planet, right? Even if someone calls from another part of the country and declares "It's snowing here," I'll look out the window and tell them they're a dang liar.
You might think that since I am aware of my shortcoming, I would compensate by over-packing on any given trip. Nope. I've found that in order to fit the snowsuits and the socks for a ski vacation, I have to abandon other unnecessary baggage like Q-tips and my husband.
Usually, I can hide my epic failures pretty well. When I wear the same clothes four days in a row, I blame lost luggage. I tell everyone my hair is a mess from the underpowered blow dryer in the hotel room. My other shoe was confiscated by TSA officials in Memphis, I say. Thank goodness there's no photographic record of all my mistakes. Of course, that's because I always forget the camera.
But for the trip I am currently preparing for, it might not be so easy to get away with this. I will be surrounded by mothers who are experts in preparedness. At the airport they'll whip out some worksheets from their emergency math kit strapped to their thighs so their children won't be bored at the gate. I'll have to dig around my purse for a stick of Dentyne and a penny, and hope my kids will be amused with short division.
Eying my torn Publix bag that I have repurposed as a carry-on, perhaps one of these kindly women will take pity and give my kids a few copies of her worksheets. She might even offer some of the other articles I've forgotten to pack, like toothpaste and sunscreen. As she reaches into her airline-approved luggage lined with zipper bags of individual outfits labeled for every day and hands me a bottle of Coppertone with a smile, she'll say, "In case you've forgotten yours, I have extra."
I'll feign a polite protest and lie and say I've got five bottles packed in my checked bags.
She'll say, "Really, it's not a problem. You don't look like you tan well."
-- Tracy Henry, the Suburban Diva

Gillian Slinger
Gillian Slinger, a British-trained nurse and midwife with a BSc Degree in Health Management and an MSc Degree in Public Health, recently joined UNFPA, the United Nations Population Fund, to coordinate the global Campaign to End Fistula.
Photo: Brian Hancock, FRCS, founder Uganda Childbirth Injury Fund, 2010.
Before joining UNFPA, Ms. Slinger worked as Reproductive Health Advisor for Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) Switzerland, based in Geneva, for the last three years. As part of her duties at MSF, she was actively involved in implementing fistula activities and giving technical support to fistula projects, and developing a substantial network of contacts with key training institutions, experts and organizations.
She has also undertaken regular field trips to support MSF projects in Somalia, Sudan, Guinea and Guatemala among other countries, as well as teaching for MSF and the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine in England.
In the 1990s, Ms. Slinger worked as a midwife for ten years in the University Hospital of Lausanne in Switzerland, and, since then, as a midwife with MSF and Save the Children in Mali, Sierra Leone, Chad and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
As a midwife, Ms. Slinger has always been deeply moved by the many obstetric fistula cases she has cared for in the field. Since starting her MSF post in Geneva in 2007, her involvement in fistula work has increased enormously, fueling her commitment to address global maternal death and disability.

In last Friday's issue, Rich Lopez praised the Scissor Sisters new CD, so we were excited to hear this morning that the Jake Shears-led retro band was going on tour, with tickets on sale this Friday.
Then we saw the schedule. No Dallas date. Nothing even in Texas. The nearest place is Denver or Atlanta, both in separate time zones. This sucks.
It's not as if we thought Rich's review would cinch the deal, but you gotta lotta love for this queerband and hoped they'd show some back. And they are going to Wisconsin??!!! Oh, well. It's a tough summer concert tour season, as evidenced by the cancellation of 10 Lilith Fair dates. Bring us da noise, guys! Bring us da funk! (AND bring us whoever's ass is on that album cover.)

bash script problems: scp/ssh from the node of a cluster to the other server
Hi everyone,
I am running a series of simulations on a cluster node. The output of the simulations are some pretty large data files, so I would like to transfer them to the storage server as soon as they are made. I would like to do this in a bash script (there are 68 simulations being run, two at a time, each lasting 2-3 hours so I do need to automate).
The problem is, I can't ssh or scp from the node to the storage server.
(Yes, I have set up and ssh identity file in my home dir on the cluster head and the authorization_key in the home dir on the storage server, so that I am not being asked for password when I scp through the script).
Since node doesn't communicate with the outside world, I am assuming I need to go back to the head and scp the file, then go back to the node to do another simulation. All this in a script. Can anyone help me with this? I tried
logout #back to the head
Any help would be appreciated.
Maybe do the master and servant thing. Separate functionality. You don't need to be on the node all of the time. On the node I would run an independant script that accepts jobs from head and returns their status. On head I would run the "master" script that does job management like accepting a list of jobs from you, scheduling jobs on the node and polling their status and initiating transfers on job finish. This way you don't need to move back and forth which is resource efficient and allows you to loose your sanity in other ways :-]
Thanks. That's what I ended up doing. I did lose my sanity first though:cry:

Shotgun shells found at Barrington school
Shotgun shells were found in the parking lot of a Barrington school.
A letter sent to parents said three shells from a gun were found in a partially opened box. The box was found in the lower level parking lot of the Primrose Hill School.
The discovery was made last Thursday before students arrived.
Superintendent Michael Messore said Barrington police have sent the shells out to have fingerprints checked. He also said police have interviewed people in the school and looked at the school grounds.
Messore said the police don't believe there's a threat to the schools since they haven't found a link to the shells and the school.
Messore said the school plans on adding a security camera to the area where the shells were found. He said there are security cameras in the school, but that there wasn't one in the area because it's not "highly traveled."
Messore said he's received some calls and emails from parents but has 100 percent faith in the police department.
"This is not a crisis situation, but it's not great to find shotgun shells outside the school," he said.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Barrington police at 401-437-3935.

2012 Northern Arapaho general election results are in; two business council incumbents out
By Joshua Scheer, reporter, county10.com
(Wind River Indian Reservation, Wyo.) – Members of the Northern Arapaho Tribe hit the polls yesterday and voted out two current members of the business council.
Jim Shakespeare and Julian Hubbard both lost re-election. Voters could pick six candidates out of the 12 on the ballot.
Incumbent Darrell O'Neal Sr. was re-elected, earning more votes for the business council than other candidates. He had 495 votes. The second highest vote-getter was Willard Gould with 493. The other elected to the business council were Anthony Al Addison Sr., Ronald K. Oldman, Thurlo J. Jenkins Sr. and David "Ron" McElroy Sr.
Shakespeare had the ninth highest number of votes, with 368. Hubbard was last with 306.
Ricky Blackburn Sr., Nathan C. Friday Sr., Bill Armour, Lyle Valdez, Sami S. Dresser and Keenan Goesbeck were elected to the Tribal Committee.
Elected to the Economic Development Committee are: Howard G. Brown, Lance D. Oldman, Aaron Brannan Sr., John Goggles and Alice M. Moss.
Arapahoe had the largest turnout with 528 ballots cast. In Ethete, 441 people voted and in Fort Washakie 91 votes were cast. There were 41 absentee ballots.
Northern Arapaho Business Council Secretary Susan Johnston said the results are subject to a 7-day protest period.
At 9 a.m. on Jan. 7, the newly elected leaders will be sworn in at Blue Sky Hall in Ethete.

Newsong's Santa Ana Strategy: Save the Poor, Support the Arts, Fight the Gays and Drunks
My first interaction with Newsong Church--which has all of the Artists Village in SanTana freaked out because they just bought the Santora Building--came years ago, in a building they currently own on 511 E. Santa Ana Boulevard. Back then, it was known as PrimeUrban, and the main tenant was SolArt Gallery Cafe, which ran a community space for arts and youth for years. I used to be involved with them until, um, issues arose, but I was still in the informational loop when I heard the news: their plans to hold a Queer Ball, a gathering for LGBT high schoolers, was blocked because PrimeUrban's owners found it offensive to their Christian faith.
And one of the anti-gay owners? A Newsonger.
SolArt nevertheless continued, even though more than a few gays and lesbians were involved, without a hitch for a couple of more years...until the owners decided to sell the spot to Newsong, which promptly turned it into their own community center, 511 Creative Community, and pushed SolArt out.
Unlike people who automatically hate anything religious, I don't immediately find Newsong as offensive as the Scientologists. On one hand, there's probably no better church outside of the Mars Hills movement to have purchased the building. O, atheist artists of SanTana: Newsong is a hipster church. They party! They drink! Its demographics are like the demographics of the Artist Village: a bunch of multiculti do-gooders who want to spark a "renaissance" in SanTana. But instead of trashing quinceañera shops, Newsong has been working with the wabs of the city for years. Its most famous alum is councilmember David Benavides, who helped to start Newsong's outreach into the city; a 2003 bulletin of the Pacific Southwest Conference of the Evangelical Covenant Church obtained by the Weekly wrote Benavides was "forming a group to start a new ministry in Santa Ana." They have a longstanding alliance with Kidworks, the mighty SanTana nonprofit, and run Laundry Love and Saint City Sessions; the former lets poor folks get their laundry done for free, while the latter lets hip-hop inclined youth do their deal in a safe setting. They truly do care for the downtrodden, and that's more than can be said for some of the Brave New Urbanists who want poor Mexicans out of SanTana and replaced with the umpteenth loft.

On the other hand, though, Newsong doesn't like gays. Oh, they'll deny it to the ends of Earth with the loving-the-sinner/hate-the-sin excuse, but official Newsong policy deems homosexuality "a far more complex issue than simply a sexual preference. There are issues of lack of male-affirmation, spiritual hunger, abuse, narcissism, and relational idolatry that are often not discussed." What a load of shit! They stress being gay is a sin like any other sin--no more, no less--but still a sin. Fuck that!
And Newsong is already declaring its own potential tenants needing salvation. In an email circulated to members as a Q & A on the subject, one asked "Some of the tenant operations are contrary to church values (i.e. - a cocktail lounge). Is that a problem?"
"We don't think so," replied Newsong Pastor Dave Gibbons. "We believe that is exactly the kind of people that God wants us to love and connect with."
In other words, drunkards of downtown (myself included): we are sinners. Expect outreach to us alongside our eighth Manhattan (hit them back with Jesus' water-to-wine miracle, por favor).
I believe Newsong when they say they want to keep the Santora a place for arts and work with the current community, but the fact remains: church members will not allow stuff they find objectionable to happen on their property. If they buy it, it is theirs, and they'll push tenants out one by one and replace them with Newsongers. And they don't like gays. Parachuting into what they consider Sodom and Gomorrah is great for Newsong, but...ah, I forgot my Scripture when I began worshiping in the pews at Memphis at the Santora, so I'll just leave it at this:
Prove us wrong, Newsong. Don't bring Jesus-fication to the gentrification and gente-fication already present in downtown, m'kay?

- Overview
Introducing the new aFe Power MACH Force XP cat back exhaust system for the 07-13 BMW 328i E92 & E93 non-turbo. In recent testing, this system produced 4 horsepower and 8 lbs. x ft. of torque. This exhaust is constructed from 2.5" brushed finish, mandrel bent, 304 stainless steel and is TIG-welded. A high flow, 304 stainless steel, single in dual out muffler was used to maximize performance across the power band while maintaining a great tone. To finish off this exhaust are dual, aFe laser etched, 3" polished 304 stainless steel tips. This exhaust uses all factory hanger locations. Note: Cutting is required and should be performed by a skilled technician.
All aFe exhaust systems are engineered and manufactured in our Corona, California manufacturing facility.
Retains Rear Catalytic Converters:
The rear cats are retained on this system to maintain a smooth, deep sound but more importantly to keep the system street legal.
Mitered Merge Collector:
Mitered collectors decrease turbulence and increase exhaust velocity resulting in increased horsepower, torque and improved throttle response.
Leak-Free Seal:
High quality band clamps are used for a complete 360 degree sealing surface.
Aggressive Sound:
A 16" free-flowing muffler is used to absorb high pitch tones producing a powerful sound and unleashing all available horsepower and torque.

New Delhi: The Delhi High Court has ordered the government to ensure that all hospitals, including those that are privately owned, provide urgent medical attention to rape survivors or those injured in road accidents. Hospitals must be told they cannot refuse treatment in these cases, the court said.
The directions come after the fatal gang-rape of a medical student who was thrown onto the road from a moving bus along with her friend, who had also been assaulted by six men. After the student died, her friend, a software engineer, has said that when the couple was found bleeding and naked on the roadside, the policemen who showed up spent precious time arguing over which police station should take charge of the case, while also debating which state-run hospital was nearest.
Those revelations have added to the anger and outrage over the monstrous attack. Five men are being tried for the rape and murder of Amanat (NOT her real name). A sixth, who says he is 17, is being tried separately at a juvenile court.
The court today said that the police must be given clear instructions to take those injured to the nearest hospital "without any debate" to identify a government hospital that is nearby.
"Why can't you consider issuing standing instructions to all hospitals to treat victims brought to them without any delay?" the court told the police. "A hospital should not delay treatment on any grounds. If the hospital is a small hospital, at least they should give first aid to the victims before sending them elsewhere," the court said.

Door Trim Panel Replacement Removal Procedure
Important: To reduce the chance of damage to the trim panel leave the switch in the panel until after the panel is removed from the door.
Notice: Insert the fastener removal tool between the male fastener, which is attached to the trim panel, and the female retainer, which is in the door. Incorrectly inserting the tool between the head of the female retainer and the door will break the fasteners.
Pry out the remaining trim panel fasteners working your way forward.
Installation Procedure
Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.

US confirms third case of MERS virus revealed in ongoing investigation
AFP Monday, May 19, 2014, 12:02 am TWN
WASHINGTON--An Illinois man has contracted the MERS respiratory virus after coming into contact with the first case of the mysterious Middle East pathogen in the United States, becoming the third infected person.
It was during an ongoing investigation on the first case of Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus in the United States that officials identified the new case, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Saturday.
"CDC officials explained that these laboratory test results are preliminary and suggest that the Illinois resident probably got the virus from the Indiana patient and the person's body developed antibodies to fight the virus," the agency said in a statement.
It said the Illinois resident, who has not recently traveled outside the United States, met twice with the Indiana patient before he was identified as the first known case of MERS in the United States.
As part of the investigation, health officials have tested people who came into contact with the Indiana resident.
The identities of the MERS patients have not been released.
The Illinois resident was first tested for MERS on May 5, and those test results were negative. But a blood sample tested positive on Friday, showing he has antibodies to MERS.
"This latest development does not change CDC's current recommendations to prevent the spread of MERS-CoV," said David Swerdlow, who is leading the agency's MERS response.
"It's possible that as the investigation continues, others may also test positive for MERS-CoV infection but not get sick."
The United States has previously announced two confirmed cases of MERS, or Middle East Respiratory Syndrome, which originated in Saudi Arabia and has since spread to more than a dozen countries.
The first patient, who fell ill in April, has been discharged from a hospital in Indiana.
Symptoms of MERS can include fever, chills, cough and in serious cases, kidney failure. Health authorities say it is transmissible mainly through close person-to-person contact and in health care settings.
Meanwhile, health authorities in Saudi Arabia reported three more fatalities from the MERS respiratory virus, taking the death toll in the world's worst-hit country to 163.
The health ministry website also revealed that 520 cases have been recorded in the country since MERS first appeared in Saudi Arabia in 2012.

Re-Employment Bonuses in a Signalling Model of Temporary Layoffs
Temporary layoffs are an important feature of the United States labor market. If these employer-employee relationships exist because of valuable job-matches, unemployment among high-productivity laid-off workers may be optimal from societal perspective. However, because of asymmetric information, low-productivity workers may behave strategically, and choose unemployment instead of low-wage jobs, resulting in an inefficient level of unemployment. This paper shows that in such cases, a re-employment bonus may give the correct incentives to laid-off workers and achieve the optimal equilibrium. The paper analyzes the equity properties of such a policy and its cost effectiveness. Finally, the model fits the data and offers several policy implications.

I once bought a big bag of chicken quarters at FL and when I opened it, was hit hard with the smell of chlorine bleach. Needless to say I didn't use it. It kinda messes up any savings you might have when you have to throw out ten pounds of meat.

Several people at my office shop at Harris Teeter so they can use the plastic grocery bags to take their lunch to work. They like to impress the staff. I like to shop at Food Lion and have cash in my pocket. I am way pass the age of trying to impress people with shoes or high priced grocery stores. I bought about 15 pounds of T-bone steak from Food Lion at $4.99 a pound last week. Saved about $100 off the regular price.

from an article called the 12 Worst Supermarkets in America (you can Google it)
Despite its slogan "Great Food. Low Prices. Friendly Service," Stop & Shop received only slightly-above average marks when it came to cleanliness, but mediocre scores on price, the quality of meat and produce, and service, which is to say, they're not necessarily doing anything wrong, but they're not doing much right.

westernwake1 Smart shoppers can always check the expiration date. The grocery stores that I patronize have been using scanners for several years. Maybe some grocery stores in the country where you live might not have scanners. Some items also carry the creation date that will give you an idea of how long it has been on the shelf. Most of the time it says the product is best if used before a certain date. Most people if they have it at home on the shelf will use it anyway depending on the item. I drink milk all the day that is pass the date.

WRAL had a story a few weeks back which listed the worst Supermarkets in America. I read it...It listed Stop and Shop as one of the worst in the country...dirty, poor quality meats and vegetables. I am sorry...but, I do not want to have to worry where my food came from. WRAL, please run the article again and enlighten these people. Be careful what you ask for.
rushbot Feb 22, 2013
I shop several different chains..we are fortunate that we have several chains competing, so I rarely pay full price for anything at the Tweeter..or Lowes..or Food Doggie..or Krogers..we have 2 freezers in the garage and several shelve units too..I call it investing in food..almost all of us must buy food..it is much better to buy a group when it's a deal..you "make" whatever the savings would be as a return on investment and pay no income taxes!!!

Just for clarity sake, it's Stop & Shop's OWNERS that are interested; it doesn't mean it will be a Stop & Shop (but a good chance that it will). It's a Belgian company (Delhaize Group) that is the parent of Food Lion - the lion logo is the same, and the Delhaize stores are WONDERFUL.
Besides, as others have put it, why should you have to pay 50% more for a standard, brand name food item, just because it's a higher end store. I bought a box of Sugar Free Jell-o at WalMart that was $0.66/box versus $0.99 at HT - don't you want YOUR money to go further to feed your family? Both Whole Foods and Fresh Market can be cheaper than some items, specifically produce, in HT. Price and demand, baby.
westernwake1 Feb 22, 2013
"Sometimes quality over price is important. But the items I buy at the store are 10-20% more at HT than Kroger or FL, why should I buy them at HT? I will pay more for genuine quality difference, but a box of Wheaties is the same in both stores so why is one place so much more?" - anti-Mako II
Do you want cheese without mold growing on it? Do you want Wheaties that have not been stored in some warehouse for two years? Do you want meat that actually has not been recalled? Do you want a cashier who can actually check you out and get all the prices right?
If yes then shop at Harris Teeter. If no, go to some discount grocery store - I'm sure sure 20% savings will be worth it.

I like shopping at HT but their prices are much higher than the other chains. I grew up with Kroger and find myself there more and more and they still are not the least expensive grocery store in the area. I don't care for Food Lion and Lowe's is ok. Will go to Lowe's in a pinch.

jedidug2 Feb 22, 2013
A box of wheaties might be the same in each store. But there is a difference in how those products are handled in the back. I used to do inventory in grocery stores. HT has the cleanest back room. Nothing sits on the floor. everything sits on pallets or shelves. Kroger is pretty good too. The nastiest store I ever did was Winn Dixie, their back was a mess. Items all over the floor, broken items. We even once had a rat pop out of box we had to open to count. Some products might be the same in each store but in a cleaner store something probably wasn't crawling on your stuff before it was put out.

Hylanseppy, have you ever been to Fresh Market or Whole Foods? They are supermarket chains that are far more expensive than HT.
Good for HT in getting the best value for their investment. The families earned it. It's a great supermarket chain with great service, great value if you shop wisely. I'd hate to see another entity come in and change them into a Stop & Shop.
tomac108 Feb 22, 2013
As is often the case with a WRAL story the headline does not tell the whole story. AHOLD has multiple brands in its holdings. The Landover GIANT brand most resembles HT...but I still feel there is a gap. I agree with everything people say about Stop and Shop. I worked there in HIgh School and my family shopped there. I would not.
Don't trash AHOLD just because of Stop And Shop.
There are 4 chains that I think are on a level playing field. HT, Wegmans, Publix and HEB. I still put my bet on Publix.
wspmom Feb 22, 2013
I shop HT weekly, in fact I utilize their online shopping which is absolutely incredible and the customer service is phenomenal. I shop the sales and buy store brand and even if I pay a few pennies more than the Food LIon down the road, it's worth it to me to have quality meats and produce, selection, cleanliness, and customer service. I don't know what I'll do if there is HT no longer. I'm going now to pick up my groceries!
ginny159 Feb 22, 2013
I used to live in Baltimore and while Meijer's Grocery Store was on the level of Harris Teeter, Giant good stores (owned by Ahold) was the equivalent to a Kroger. Giant is definetly better then a Stop N' Shop, but it's not on par with Harris Teeter. Sidenote: Harris Teeter is an expensive grocery store, BUT the selection and quality is why I shop there and I am glad to pay the higher price because you are paying for quality, service and selection. Walmart is cheap for a reason folks.
I TOTALLY agree with NewToMe--it's because we have been choosing the lower prices and expecting more to be cheaper that has lead to the China imports--not entirely our society's fault, but we contributed for sure.
NewToMe Feb 22, 2013
Harris Teeter is more expensive if not using coupons or buying sale items, especially against Wal-Mart. But, I am willing to pay more money for my food for an upscale grocery store offering better selection and customer service. The sad part, more and more people only care about price. Increasing profits (for the business) and decreasing costs (for the consumer) is what drove the mass import from China. Poeple who only care about price are partially responsible for this and it will only get worse.

mmtlash Feb 22, 2013
from my experience w/ Stop & Shop about 10 years ago they were comparable to Kroger in the Triangle, in that some stores are really nice (like the Apex Kroger off 64) and some are just so so (like most of the stores in our area built in the '80s & '90s). They are definately more middle market and less upscale then Harris Teeter.
37 Feb 22, 2013
Ahold also operates the Giant grocery chain. That's a MUCH better fit than Stop & Shop. The style of store is similar and the geographical connection is there.
mmtlash Feb 22, 2013
does Stop & Shop even double coupons?
stymieindurham Feb 22, 2013
Hmmmm, and the left have no problem with JP Morgan being involved? That's unusual. I for one want Harris Teeter to stay just as they are. Why go to a Stop and Shop when I can just go to Food Lon?
milletar Feb 22, 2013
Apologies for shouting; I just wanted to get the attention of the PTB. Thank you.
Bill Brasky Feb 22, 2013
The Teeter has a distinct marketing niche. Where as its a nice place to shop, friendly employees, and perhaps the food and produce were more expensive then Food Dog, or Kroger, but the food and produce were of high quality. With Stop and Shop that niche will no longer be filled, since the quality will drop back down to a Food Lion or Kroger shopping level.
Plus the eye candy in the Cameron Village store was unbelieveable.
westernwake1 Feb 22, 2013
"I was confusing Shop Rite and "Stop and Shop". Never been in one. Shop Rite has a discount store called Buy Rite that we like as well when in Albany" - aetius476
I agree with you about Shop Rite. An excellent store similar to HT. Shop Rite is normally found on the top 20 supermarket lists.
Adventurer007 Feb 22, 2013
I hope we don't lose Harris Teeter. I agree with Nancy as well. People say Harris Teeter is expensive, but for the quality and how clean they keep their locations I think it's worth it. And if you shop smart and keep an eye on the continuous sales there you can reduce your grocery bill significantly.

THERE has, without question, never been such a difficult spell in the long and illustrious playing history of Rangers.
Not since the club was founded way back in 1872 has it ever experienced such poor fortunes on the football field.
Playing in the bottom tier of the Scottish game is not something a club of such size and stature aspires to. Not when it has grown accustomed to winning titles and trophies – not to mention competing at the highest level in Europe – in the last 140 years.
Yet, having endured so much heartache and pain in the past year, Rangers supporters appear decidedly chipper just now - and rightly so.
There are an abundance of reasons, both on and off the pitch, for Light Blues fans to celebrate and smile after what has been a traumatic period.
The club was listed on the London Stock Exchange at eight o'clock this morning after a successful share issue raised £22.2million.
Critics and cynics – and there are no shortage of those in this divided city – will point to the fact that fans failed to invest the £10m hoped for. Charles Green, the club chief executive, looked unperturbed by that fact when he addressed the support before the game with Annan kicked off last night.
"It's a phenomenal achievement," he enthused. "It is unique in football and one you fans should be immensely proud of.
"The money will help us rebuild the club and take us back to where we belong. You did it. You made it happen. You stood by your club through dark and difficult days."
None of the cash raised can, of course, be used to strengthen Ally McCoist's squad in the near future.
Rangers are unable to pay money for a player until January 2014 due to the 12-month transfer ban imposed upon them for what went on under the previous regime.
However, they have much to be positive about on the football as well as the financial front at this precise moment in time.
The way this talented young team scrapped to a 3-0 win over Annan in their latest Irn-Bru Third Division match last night underlined how much progress is being made.
Having been reduced to 10 men on the hour mark after the red-carding of Lee Wallace inside his own penalty box, things were looking decidedly ominous for Rangers. The spirited visiting team had a penalty to level the match and another upset, this time at home, in the league, was not beyond the realms of possibility at that stage.
But Neil Alexander saved Scott Chaplain's spot-kick, and the follow-up shot from Michael Daly, brilliantly and his team-mates were visibly lifted.
Andy Little, returning to the sort of form he was producing before picking up an injury earlier this term, netted a superb individual effort moments later to put his team 2-0 in front.
And man of the match David Templeton – another who is, slowly but surely, hitting peak form – whipped in his second of the match shortly afterwards.
At the start of the 2012/13 campaign, when this hastily thrown together team was finding its feet, when the youthful team were toiling to get to grips with senior football, the chances are they would have crumbled.
Chris Hegarty, Kyle Hutton, Barrie McKay and Lewis Macleod, individuals with an abundance of youthful promise, are clearly maturing and that augurs well for the short and long-term future.
As, for that matter, does the return to action of Francisco Sandaza after a lengthy injury lay-off; the Spaniard started last night after nearly three months on the sidelines.
Sandaza beavered away tirelessly by himself up front for over an hour before being replaced by Ross Perry after Wallace's red card for preventing a scoring opportunity.
While his finishing understandably left something to be desired, his showing suggested he will be a useful weapon for his boss in the weeks ahead.
Elsewhere, Fraser Aird and Perry, who have both been out with minor ailments, came on as substitutes and will increase Gers' player pool.
The highly-entertaining win sent McCoist's charges, who still have a game in hand, six points clear of nearest rivals Elgin City in the league table. The re-arranged game at Borough Briggs on Saturday now takes on massive significance.
The crowd of 42,135 was, too, highly impressive for a midweek fixture and undoubtedly played a significant part in overcoming stubborn opponents.
A small section of the crowd – the area occupied by the Union Bears and The Blue Order – staged a protest as Green spoke before the match. They made their unhappiness at the very real prospect of the English businessman selling the naming rights to Ibrox to the highest bidder perfectly clear.
They each held up placards which read "Always Ibrox" and chanted throughout the public address to the assembled throng.
They were quite entitled to show and voice their displeasure in a display which underlines that, no matter how well things may appear to be going, there are always high expectations in all areas at Rangers.

Now, I normally don't like the idea of using shot in a rifled barrel. However, seeing and handling the judge had me wondering - would it work to use a rifled bbl in a shotgun with buckshot? Apparently in the judge the rifling causes the shot to spread out faster over a shorter distance. Could the same be applied to buckshot out of say a Mossberg 500A with a rifled barrel?
