Shameful times in small-town Manitoba, where the homosexual owners of a brand new restaurant are closing up shop because a few residents have taken to attacking and insulting their sexual orientation.

The Winnipeg Free Press reports that Morris, Man., restaurant Pots N Hands will close in April, just four months after opening for business. The owners at first refused to discuss why they decided to close shop, finally relenting and admitting the decision came following a series of homophobic attacks.

The owners would even only speak to the Free Press on the condition of anonymity. An odd condition, considering they are already known to those in the community. But these are the steps taken when discrimination boils, and threatens to boil further.

TRENTON, N.J. –  Guitarist Richie Sambora will not be performing with Bon Jovi during the current leg of the band's Because We Can tour.
The band, on its website, cited "personal issues." The band says all shows will go on as scheduled. No other information was given.
Hours before the announcement late Tuesday, Sambora tweeted that he was "Watching more of the `Every Road Leads Home To You' cover videos." That was a reference to a fan contest promoting a song on his solo album "Aftermath of the Lowdown."
The 53-year-old has struggled with substance abuse. He has done several stints in rehab.
Bon Jovi is slated to perform in Edmonton, Canada, on Wednesday and the current leg of the tour is scheduled to end April 25 in San Jose, Calif.
Bon Jovi's 12th album, "What About Now," debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart last month.

The lingerie, called Society Harnessing Equipment, shocks anyone who touches the outside of the bra, while the women wearing it are protected by an inner polymer lining, The Daily Express reports.
"A person trying to molest a girl will get the shock of his life the moment pressure sensors get activated," said co-inventor Manisha Mohan, a student at SRM University.

THE US has offered $US5 million ($4.8m) for the capture of Lord's Resistance Army chief Joseph Kony.

Yesterday's announcement came as Uganda and Washington said they had been forced to suspend their two-year hunt for Kony in the jungles of the Central African Republic, after rebels seized power in the capital, Bangui, last month.

The LRA, a Ugandan rebel group, has waged a brutal insurgency, accused of mutilations and child abductions for two decades across four countries.

Kony - a self-proclaimed prophet who claims his rebels aim to establish a government based on the Ten Commandments - and other LRA leaders face charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity at the International Criminal Court.

The Ugandan government said it was halting its leading role in the search for the fugitive militia leader because of hostility towards foreign troops in the republic since the coup.

"We have temporarily suspended operations against the LRA until further notice," army spokesman Felix Kulayigye said.

Uganda supplied the majority of a 5000-strong African Union mandated force. The mission is aided by the US, which ordered the deployment of 100 military advisers to the region in 2011
