published on
Word on the streets now is that a man was served with Jungle Justice after stealing ram during the Sallah celebrations.
My own question is that is this the best way to resolve the matter?

Hurricane Sandy: 13 Dead, Immense Damage Reported
published on
Fire has gutted several blocks of residence in Queens as the super storm made power cables collide and generate sparks.
At least 69 people died from the same storm as it passed through the Caribbean.
For the first time in over hundred years, the New York Stock Exchange will be closed for a second day.
A lot of losses have been predicted in billions as a result of the storm, but the US is not only hit economically, but also politically as it's just a few days to the US presidential elections.
Global climate experts are already airing their views about the storm. Is it just a natural disaster no one could have done anything about, or is it as a result of global warming constituted mainly by the activities of man?
The current struggle to keep millions of lives safe may not allow for discussion on what anyone could have done now, but hopefully the storm goes away soon, and losses minimal enough to bear.

New York, the city that never sleeps beds down before Hurricane Sandy
published on
A monster of a hurricane, potentially the largest on record, was barreling toward the city, threatening business owners with catastrophic damages, Biblical flooding and power outages that could last for days.
In Times Square, restaurants, electronics shops and perfumeries were sending employees home before 7 p.m., when the city's subways were set to close.
It was the same throughout Midtown, along Madison Avenue and down into the Bohemian enclave of Greenwich Village, where many of famed Bleeker Street's shops were closing early - and indefinitely.
"After Monday, employees will be on call," said Jerome Ison, a clerk at Burberry.
At Magnolia Bakery, the cupcakes shop made famous by the TV show "Sex and the City," the ovens were turned off around noon. "We won't have any extra cupcakes," a worker said.
Throughout Manhattan, the pretzel and hot dog vendors were packing up, too, often to travel across bridges and tunnels to New Jersey, Brooklyn and Staten Island.
"Everybody's leaving," said peanut purveyor Miah Daras of the Bronx. "For me, this is losing $300 a day."
The mad dash out of Manhattan was spurred by the shut down of mass transit Sunday. The loss of transportation illustrated a socio-economic divide: There are many wealthy residents of Manhattan. Those who serve them tend to live elsewhere - the outer boroughs of Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island and the Bronx.
Without public transit, and with the possibility of bridges and tunnels being closed, cutting off vehicular traffic, those two populations were going to be apart from one another. And who knew for how long?
"I need my workers to get home safely," said health food deli owner Gale Shim.
HEAVY RAIN, HIGH WINDS
Shim decided to stay behind and deal with the situation himself, meaning he'd bunk down in his deli. He had been hearing the news all week: A foot (0.3 meter) of rain, 75-mph (120-kph) winds, though was happy he has insurance for food spoilage.
But like a lot of New York business owners, it was the flooding that worried him. He stood in the back of the deli's kitchen, surrounded by cases of the hipster health drink Kombucha and pointed to a place in the ceiling where rainwater routinely surges in.
His plan was to fight off the expected deluge with a sump pump, though he didn't know what he would do if the electricity went out. He also hadn't figured out how to get a blanket if he got cold.
On the Upper West Side, lines wrapped around the block at grocery store Trader Joe's. At Abingdon Deli, the cheese and meat shelves had been picked clean.
Throughout the day, more and more closings were announced.
But New Yorkers - who survived the September 11 attacks, a blackout in 2003 and Hurricane Irene last year - can be hard to rattle. Some delighted in being contrarians. As many stocked their fridges with water and food, others blew the whole thing off.
"You know what I have in my fridge?" said Chris Conway, a 41-year-old who lives in the Chelsea section of Manhattan. "Four different kinds of Tabasco and one jar of A-1 steak sauce."
There were also plenty of businesses that were daring the storm to bother them.
"We'll be open, no matter what," said Clarence Ricketts, who manages the 24-hour Walgreens at Times Square. The building has its own in-house engineer, a military-grade power generator and a full staff in the store.
Ricketts will pay for cab fare if an employee needs to go home. But he's cleared out space in the store's fifth-floor offices and has air mattresses for workers.
"We sell air mattresses," he said. "So however many (workers) need, we have."
One business that storms treat positively well: bars.
Downtown Manhattan's Corner Bistro was full on Sunday. The Bistro, legendary for its salty bartenders and tender burgers, stayed open throughout Hurricane Irene. During the blackout in 2003, one manager tried to close the bar - and was fired.
"The Bistro only closes on Thanksgiving and Christmas, and that's it," said bartender Jeff Sheehan.

Usher Buys $12,000 Puppy
published on Sunday, 28 October 2012
Usher got himself a cute puppy; a Goldendoodle (Golden retriever/poodle hybrid) to be precise, at a whooping sum of $12,000.
The singer attended the Pencils Of Promise Gala in New York on Friday, a charity spearheaded by Justin Bieber's manager Scooter Braun, where the pooch was being auctioned off.
Usher almost lost out as Gossip Girls star Jessica Szhor's 11k bid would have gotten the pooch, MTV reports.
Usher Raymond's got the money and he's free to spend thousands of Dollars on a pet, but before you see him as extravagant, you should know all the proceeds were towards building schools in places like Laos, Nicaragua, Guatemala, and Ghana.

Suicide bomber strikes Nigeria church in deadly attack
published on
Survivor Linus Lighthouse said two bombers had struck different parts of the packed St Rita's church, in Kaduna, a volatile ethnically and religiously mixed city. They had got right inside the building, causing many casualties, he said.
"I cannot tell you how many casualties, but there were many. The heavy explosion also damaged so many buildings around the area," he said.
But Aminu Lawal, a Kaduna police spokesman, said there was only one confirmed bomber and that no casualties had yet been confirmed apart from the bomber himself.
Another witness, Daniel Kazah, a member of the Catholic cadets in the church, said he had seen three bodies on the bloodied church floor. "But still others were taken to the mortuary," he said.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility but Islamist sect Boko Haram has claimed similar attacks in the past and has attacked several churches with bombs and guns since it intensified its campaign against Christians in the past year.
The Islamists are fighting to try to create an Islamic state in Nigeria, whose 160 million people are split roughly evenly between Christians and Muslims.
Some of the attacks on churches have seemed calculated to stir sectarian tensions along Nigeria's volatile middle belt, where its largely Christian south and mostly Muslim north meet.
Kaduna lies along that fault line, and many of its neighbourhoods are mixed.
A bomb in a church in Kaduna state in June triggered a week of sectarian violence that killed at least 90 people.
