Amish gang sought over hair-cutting assaults - Crime
Gang warfare doesn't always involve drugs, tattoos and disagreements over rap lyrics. Police in Ohio are investigating an outbreak of violence between rival factions of the Amish community suspected of breaking into homes and cutting off each other's hair. A series of incidents across four rural counties have seen large groups of men barge into properties and drag the occupants into the street. They are then held down and attacked with scissors. According to police reports, 27 men carried out one of the attacks, shouting that they were part of the "Bergholz clan". The local Sheriff, Fred Abdalla, told reporters he suspected the attacks were part of a spiralling dispute between rival congregations of the Amish, a fundamentalist branch of the Mennonite Church, whose followers shun modern technology. The removal of facial hair is particularly sensitive in the Amish community, since male members are required to have extravagant beards.

Cats in boxes (again, this time rhyming)
Last updated 08:00 07/10/2011 Anyone under about 40 can probably recite whole stretches of the Eve Sutton/Lynley Dodd book My Cat Likes to Hide in Boxes. Any many over-40s, too, whose kids insisted that it be read to them. What you may not realise is that the book is non-fiction. For many cats do like to hide in boxes - and play, and sleep, and observe. This collection has a dedication: it's for the children of Room 2, who look at the pet photos in every week's Furry Friday post and vote for their favourite. And I've told the cats' stories in rhyme - I hope their teacher reads it out for them! A grey cat named Snuggles imagines he's shoes... Sammy and Alfie go boxing in twos. This playful blue beauty is, oddly, named Mouse... A torn soft-drink box is Maggie's new house. If you want to move Twink, there just might be an issue... And young Nefertari has used all the tissue. Smooch had spare legroom when she was a kit... ,,,but then she grew up and she didn't quite fit
