consumers' information, but “whaling” for
particular important targets and for its
Big Brother-style capacities. It can, for
example, turn on the camera and audio-
recording functions of an infected
computer, enabling monitors to see and
hear what goes on in a room. The
investigators say they do not know if this
facet has been employed.
The researchers were able to monitor
the commands given to infected
computers and to see the names of
documents retrieved by the spies, but in
most cases the contents of the stolen
files have not been determined. Working
with the Tibetans, however, the
researchers found that specific
correspondence had been stolen and
that the intruders had gained control of
the electronic mail server computers of
the Dalai Lama's organization.
The electronic spy game has had at
least some real-world impact, they said.
For example, they said, after an e-mail
invitation was sent by the Dalai Lama's
office to a foreign diplomat, the Chinese
government made a call to the diplomat
discouraging a visit. And a woman
working for a group making Internet
contacts between Tibetan exiles and
Chinese citizens was stopped by
Chinese intelligence officers on her way
back to Tibet, shown transcripts of her
online conversations and warned to stop
her political activities.
The Toronto researchers said they had
notified international law enforcement
agencies of the spying operation, which
in their view exposed basic
shortcomings in the legal structure of
cyberspace. The F.B.I. declined to
comment on the operation.
Although the Canadian researchers said
that most of the computers behind the
spying were in China, they cautioned
against concluding that China's
government was involved. The spying
could be a nonstate, for-profit operation,
for example, or one run by private
citizens in China known as “patriotic
hackers.”
“We're a bit more careful about it,
knowing the nuance of what happens in
the subterranean realms,” said Ronald J.
Deibert, a member of the research group
and an associate professor of political
science at Munk. “This could well be the
C.I.A. or the Russians. It's a murky
realm that we're lifting the lid on.”
A spokesman for the Chinese Consulate
in New York dismissed the idea that
China was involved. “These are old
stories and they are nonsense,” the
spokesman, Wenqi Gao, said. “The
Chinese government is opposed to and
News Corner
strictly forbids any cybercrime.”
The Toronto researchers, who allowed a
reporter for The New York Times to
review the spies' digital tracks, are
publishing their findings in Information
Warfare Monitor, an online publication
associated with the Munk Center.
At the same time, two computer
researchers at Cambridge University in
Britain who worked on the part of the
investigation related to the Tibetans, are
releasing an independent report. They do
fault China, and they warned that other
hackers could adopt the tactics used in
the malware operation.
“What Chinese spooks did in 2008,
Russian crooks will do in 2010 and even
low-budget criminals from less developed
countries will follow in due course,” the
Cambridge researchers, Shishir Nagaraja
and Ross Anderson, wrote in their report,
“The Snooping Dragon: Social Malware
Surveillance of the Tibetan Movement.”
In any case, it was suspicions of Chinese
interference that led to the discovery of
the spy operation. Last summer, the office
of the Dalai Lama invited two specialists
to India to audit computers used by the
Dalai Lama's organization. The
specialists, Greg Walton, the editor of
Information Warfare Monitor, and Mr.
Nagaraja, a network security expert,
found that the computers had indeed
been infected and that intruders had
stolen files from personal computers
serving several Tibetan exile groups.
Back in Toronto, Mr. Walton shared data
with colleagues at the Munk Center's
computer lab.
One of them was Nart Villeneuve, 34, a
graduate student and self-taught “white
hat” hacker with dazzling technical skills.
Last year, Mr. Villeneuve linked the
Chinese version of the Skype
communications service to a Chinese
government operation that was
systematically eavesdropping on users'
instant-messaging sessions.
Early this month, Mr. Villeneuve noticed
an odd string of 22 characters embedded
in files created by the malicious software
and searched for it with Google. It led him
to a group of computers on Hainan
Island, off China, and to a Web site that
would prove to be critically important.

Giant Internet worm set to change tactics April 1
SAN FRANCISCO - The fast-
moving Conficker computer worm, a
scourge of the Internet that has
infected at least 3 million PCs, is set
to spring to life in a new way on
Wednesday April Fools' Day.
That's when many of the
poisoned machines will get more
aggressive about "phoning home" to
the worm's creators over the Internet.
When that happens, the bad guys
behind the worm will be able to
trigger the program to send spam,
spread more infections, clog
networks with traffic, or try and bring
down Web sites.
Technically, this could cause
havoc, from massive network
outages to the creation of a
cyberweapon of mass destruction
that attacks government computers.
But researchers who have been
tracking Conficker say the date will
probably come and go quietly.
More likely, these
researchers say, the programming
change that goes into effect April 1 is
partly symbolic an April Fools' Day
tweaking of Conficker's pursuers,
who for now have been able to
prevent the worm from doing
significant damage.
"I don't think there will be a
cataclysmic network event," said
Richard Wang, manager of the U.S.
research division of security firm
Sophos PLC. "It doesn't make sense
for the guys behind Conficker to
cause a major network problem,
because if they're breaking parts of
the Internet they can't make any
money."
Previous Internet threats
were designed to cause haphazard
destruction. In 2003 a worm known
as Slammer saturated the Internet's
data pipelines with so much traffic it
crippled corporate and government
systems, including ATM networks and
911 centers.
Far more often now, Internet
threats are designed to ring up
profits. Control of infected PCs is
valuable on the black market, since
the machines can be rented out, from
one group of bad guys to another,
and act as a kind of illicit
supercomputer, sending spam,
scanning Web sites for security
holes, or participating in network
attacks.
The army of Conficker-
26
1 Apr - 7 Apr 2009 (123)
infected machines, known as a
"botnet," could be one of the greatest
cybercrime tools ever assembled.
Conficker's authors just need to figure
out a way to reliably communicate with
it.
Infected PCs need commands
to come alive. They get those
commands by connecting to Web sites
controlled by the bad guys. Even
legitimate sites can be co-opted for this
purpose, if hackers break in and use
the sites' servers to send out malicious
commands.
So far, Conficker-infected
machines have been trying to connect
each day to 250 Internet domains the
spots on the Internet where Web sites
are parked. The bad guys need to get
just one of those sites under their
control to send their commands to the
botnet. (The name Conficker comes
from rearranging letters in the name of
one of the original sites the worm was
connecting to.)
Conficker has been a victim of
its success, however, because its rapid
spread across the Internet drew the
notice of computer security companies.
They have been able to work with
domain name registrars, which
administer Web site addresses, to
block the botnet from dialing in.
Now those efforts will get much
harder. On April 1, many Conficker-
infected machines will generate a list of
50,000 new domains a day that they
could try. Of that group, the botnet will
randomly select 500 for the machines
to actually query.
The bad guys still need to get
only one of those up and running to
connect to their botnet. And the bigger
list of possibilities increases the odds
they'll slip something by the security
community.
Researchers already know
which domains the infected machines
will check, but pre-emptively registering
them all, or persuading the registrars to
neutralize all of them, is a bigger
hurdle.
"We expect something will
happen, but we don't quite know what it
will look like," said Jose Nazario,
manager of security research for Arbor
Networks, a member of the "Conficker
Cabal," an alliance trying to hunt down
the worm's authors.
"With every move that they
make, there's the potential to identify
who they are, where they're located
News Corner
and what we can do about them," he
added. "The real challenge right now is
doing all that work around the world.
That's not a technical challenge, but it is
a logistical challenge."
Conficker's authors also have
updated the worm so infected machines
have new ways to talk to each other.
They can share malicious commands
rather than having to contact a hacked
Web site for instructions.
That variation is important
because it shows that even as security
researchers have neutralized much of
what the botnet might do, the worm's
authors "didn't lose control of their
botnet," said Michael La Pilla, manager
of the malicious code operations team
at VeriSign Inc.'s iDefense division.
The Conficker outbreak
illustrates the importance of keeping
current with Internet security updates.
Conficker moves from PC to PC by
exploiting a vulnerability in Windows
that Microsoft Corp. fixed in October.
But many people haven't applied the
patch or are running pirated copies of
Windows that don't get the updates.
Unlike other Internet threats
that trick people into downloading a
malicious program, Conficker is so
good at spreading because it finds
vulnerable PCs on its own and doesn't
need human involvement to infect a
machine.
Once inside, it does nasty
things. The worm tries to crack
administrators' passwords, disables
security software, blocks access to
antivirus vendors' Web sites to prevent
updating, and opens the machines to
further infections by Conficker's
authors.
Someone whose machine is
infected might have to reinstall the
operating system.

Daylight savings glitch causes havoc
The millennium bug may have
been a dud, but the daylight savings
glitch has struck - yet again.
Telstra denies it was
responsible for an electronic hiccup that
caused havoc yesterday across the
country when mobile phones,
BlackBerries and other personal digital
assistants changed their internal clocks a
week early, leaving countless people an
hour late.
Have you been affected by the
glitch? Email us at
scoop@theage.com.au
A Telstra spokesman said the
company was blameless. He said many
devices had "factory software settings"
that did not always detect that daylight
savings had been extended to the first
Sunday in April and overrode Telstra's
network settings.
The telco's product
management executive director, Ross
Fielding, even posted a warning on
Friday, telling people to check their
phones.
Several Age readers found
themselves in a rush after clocks on
mobiles from varying networks were
reset yesterday morning.
The end of space tourism ... for now
A US software mogul who made
history this week as the first person to
travel to space twice as a tourist could
also be the last paying passenger to
head into space for several years.
These are tough times in the
niche industry of space tourism, and not
only because the economic crisis means
that fewer are willing to stump up the
US$35 million (A$50 million) that Charles
Simonyi paid for his second trip to space.
The ambitions have also been
hit by plans to double the crew on the
International Space Station from three to
six from May, meaning there will no
longer be a spare seat for a tourist on
future missions.
The crew of the International
Space Station (ISS) welcomes a new
group of visitors on, including former
Microsoft executive Charles Simonyi.
Simonyi's trip to space was the
seventh by a space tourist since the
programme was launched by Russia's
space agency Roskosmos and US firm
Space Adventures in 2001.
The joint venture between the
two organistions had always seemed
unlikely, with the young T-shirted
employees from Space Adventures
standing side-by-side with the grizzled
aeronautics engineers from Roskosmos.
"There's nobody confirmed (to
be the next space tourist) but things can
change, it's an unpredictable situation,"
1 Apr - 7 Apr 2009 (123)
Melbourne resident Joel Williams
and his partner Leah Newey found
themselves $50 short after being forced to
switch her 6.30am flight when their Nokia
alarm went off an hour late.
Missing her Sydney flight by only
five minutes, the Bairnsdale women also
forgot to grab paperwork and other
important items in her haste to reach the
airport.
"If Telstra knew this was going to
happen then should've SMSd warning
people to be careful of this rather than the
junk messages they send," Mr Williams
said.
Rory Grace, the president of the
Northbridge Football Club in North Sydney,
said he had been "BlackBerried".
He had set his PDA for 6.45am, so
he could have the goal posts up at his local
oval for kick-off at 8am.
After being woken by the alarm,
his wife, Liz, checked her watch and
realised it was lmost 8am.
Mr Grace arrived on the heels of
another father who was late, thanks to a
mobile phone prematurely winding back the
time.
"The whole morning got shunted
back," said Mr Grace, estimating 600
the CEO of Space Adventures, Eric
Anderson, said at the launch site of the
Baikonur cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.
Roskosmos head Anatoly
Perminov has said that Simyoni will be
"the last or maybe penultimate tourist
probably. For a while there'll be a break."
Interest has been expressed by
the Russian-born founder of the search
engine Google, Sergey Brin, who has put
down a deposit for a future flight.
"He's not confirmed when he will
fly but he's in line, we have several others
we're talking to, we have people from all
over the world, people who take the long
view," said Anderson.
But dreams of opening space
travel for general tourism remain in the
realms of science fiction. All those who
have gone into space as tourists have
been super rich who have undergone
months of training.
With Simonyi paying US$15
million more than US$20 million forked
out by the first space tourist Dennis Tito in
2001, it is inevitable that the economic
crisis is hitting the industry.
"Every company is affected by
the current economic climate. Of course
we are affected," said Anderson.
But the main problem are
developments in the space programme
itself, with the ISS crew set to double and
the United States to be wholly dependent
on Russia for manned launches when the
News Corner
children had their games delayed.
At 6.20am another Sydney resident
was woken by a phone call. The taxi she had
booked the night before to take her to the
airport for her Melbourne flight was
approaching.
Her mobile phone showed it was
only 5.20am. "I ran into the kitchen. Both the
clock and the microwave said it was 6.20. I
got to the airport just in time, just as the plane
was boarding."
A Telstra operator confirmed the
glitch was widespread.
The same problem last year affected
digital equipment and even caused the clocks
at Sydney's Central Station to run an hour
behind.
A Three representative said the
teleco was not at fault and that the phone
manufacturers were to blame.
shuttle is taken out of service.
Space Adventures is already talking
about renting a space capsule that could take
two tourists into space along with a
professional commander.
Anderson said an initial agreement
has already been signed with Roskosmos and
missions could start from 2012. The tourist
missions would help the space programme by
bringing additional supplies to the ISS.
"We'd provide additional Soyuz
missions... it's something that would be
beneficial to the ISS," said Anderson.
Looking ahead, he said that
partnerships other than with the Russian space
agency were feasible, with China and India
pressing ahead with their own space
programmes.
"My belief is within a decade there will
be five or six different ways to go to orbit,"
predicted Anderson.
"There'll be competition and there'll be
a lot of people who will have the ability to fly in
space. We're trying to work with all of them."
For Richard Garriott, a multi-
millionaire computer game designer who flew
to space in 2008 and now works for Space
Adventures, the next decade will see a
"privatization of space" as more outlets emerge
offering space travel and the cost of tourism to
the final frontier plunges.
"Now I think you're going to see a real
renaissance of discovering the potential that
space offers," he said.

Dubai's new behaviour guidelines
SKIMPY shorts, bikinis and
kissing in public could soon be
banned in Dubai, say authorities.
The glitzy Gulf city has laid
down new behaviour guidelines in
the local media in an attempt to
tame public behaviour.
The outlines of the possible
new restrictions appeared in Al
Emarat al Youm, an Arabic-
language newspaper with close
ties to Dubai's ruling family.
Dancing and playing loud
music in public will be banned,
while couples kissing, holding
hands or hugging could face fines
or detention.
Miniskirts and skimpy
shorts would no longer be
tolerated outside hotels, while
bikini wearers could be forced off
public beaches and only permitted
on the fenced-off sands of luxury
resorts.
Singer's $110k rings flogged for $150
THIEVES who stole three rings
worth around $110,000 from
flamboyant country rock singer Jade
Hurley hocked them to a pawnbroker
for just $150, police say.
Police have located most of the
$250,000 worth of jewellery stolen
from Hurley by thieves.
While two rings are still missing,
police have located four rings, a
professional video camera, a
necklace with Hurley's signature J on
it and two bracelets.
The jewellery, which Hurley said was
worth more than $250,000, was left
in his motor home, which he parked
outside his Gold Coast home.
A spokesman for the Burleigh Heads
CIB said police first found the trail of
jewellery by randomly visiting a
pawnbroker who had bought three
rings, worth around $110,000, for just
$50 each.
The spokesman said a 19-year-old

asked himself: 'What have I got
myself into?'" the police
spokesman said.
The spokesman said once the
19-year-old was located, police
were able to follow the trail of the
remaining jewellery.
Hurley said the discovery of the
jewellery, which was not insured
and took a lifetime to collect,
literally made him sit down and
cry with relief and happiness.

Priests get jail for stealing from church
MIAMI (Reuters) Two
disgraced Roman Catholic priests
have been sentenced to prison in a
case involving the misappropriation
of more than $8 million from their
church, a theft one judge called
"greed unmasked."
John Skehan and Francis
Guinan were accused in 2006 of
skimming money from collection
plates and bequests at their church
in Delray Beach, Florida, and
spending hundreds of thousands of
dollars on real estate, travel, rare
coins and girlfriends.
Skehan, 81, was sentenced
Tuesday to 14 months in prison and
seven years probation after pleading
guilty in January to a charge of
grand theft of over $100,000.
Guinan, 66, was sentenced
Wednesday to four years in prison
after taking the case to trial and
being found guilty of a lesser charge
of theft under $100,000.
Judge Jeffrey Colbath
imposed the prison term on
Skehan despite requests from
prosecutors, defense lawyers and
the Diocese of Palm Beach for
probation only, the Palm Beach
Post reported.
"The court finds the
defendant is not merely sorry
because he got caught, but is truly
shameful, embarrassed and
remorseful," the newspaper
quoted Colbath as saying.
"The crime of the
defendant was pure greed
unmasked. There was not a shred
of moral necessity to excuse the
defendant's crime," he added.
Judge Krista Marx said
Guinan must be punished for
"unmitigated greed and
unmitigated gall," Fort
Lauderdale's Sun Sentinel
newspaper reported.
"No matter how many
good works you have performed
in your many years as a priest,
your legacy will always be one of
thievery and deceit," she said.
When the priests were
charged in September 2006, police
said they had channeled money
from collection plates into secret
slush funds, using some of it for
church projects and part for
vacations, property and gambling
trips to Las Vegas and the
Bahamas.
Investigators said Skehan, a
priest for more than 50 years,
invested heavily in rare coins,
owned a cottage and a pub in
Ireland, a $455,000 penthouse
condominium in Singer Island,
Florida, and another apartment in
Delray Beach.
Forensic accountants hired
by the diocese found that $8.7
million had been misappropriated
from the St. Vincent Ferrer Church
during the tenures of Skehan and
his successor, Guinan.

Briton ends his long F1 drought
BRITON Jenson Button posted only
the second win of his decade-long career
when he dominated the Australian Grand Prix
in the gathering gloom at Albert Park
Bar & Restaurant yesterday evening.
He won comfortably from teammate
Rubens Barrichello to give the reborn Brawn
GP a dream quinella in its first start in a
formula one race.
Toyota's Jarno Trulli drove a
tremendous race from 20th and last place on
the grid to take third place, just ahead of
world champion Lewis Hamilton, who made
the best of a difficult weekend by avoiding
early and late race carnage to take fourth
place.
But Trulli's race was ruined soon
after it finished when stewards penalised him
ALL YOU CAN EAT AUSSIE STYLE!!!! 25 seconds for overtaking under the safety
car. The penalty meant that the Italian
dropped out of the points leaving Hamilton to
move up and take a spot on the podium.

infringement during Saturday's qualifying,

Not since the peerless Juan
Manuel Fangio led home a one-two for
Mercedes in the 1954 French Grand Prix
had a team taken the top two steps on
the podium on its debut appearance.
The word on the Brawn cars
during a truncated winter testing session
was that they were fast.
But nobody knew just how fast
until the grand prix caravan came to
Albert Park at the weekend. That winter
testing proved only a foretaste of the
speed the team reborn from the
wreckage of the collapsed Honda formula
one squad possessed.
Button and Barrichello were in
control during Saturday's qualifying,
Button taking pole and Barrichello the
other front-row spot. Yesterday the Briton
never looked in any danger once he had
got off the start line cleanly and avoided
the carnage behind him.
After a lap, Button had streaked
almost four seconds clear of the chasing
pack, led by Vettel, and it was clear that,
subject to a breakdown or an accident,
the 29-year-old Englishman would end
his long drought (his only other win was in
Hungary in 2006) by taking the
chequered flag.
The real drama was unfolding
behind him, at the start line. Barrichello
hit the anti-stall button as his car barely
moved, triggering pandemonium as cars
pulled out from behind him as they strove
to make ground and grab better positions.
The Brazilian said he was struck
hard from behind by a fast-moving
McLaren and he then slewed into the Red
Bull of Mark Webber, continuing the
Australian's appalling luck in his home
grand prix.
The BMW of German Nick
Heidfeld was another casualty, his race
also ruined almost before it had begun.

Melbourne services start from $459

News Corner
Button had pulled out a lead of
more than six seconds after barely five laps
and looked set to space the field until
Kazuki Nakajima hit the wall in his Williams,
triggering the first safety-car intervention.
Button said he struggled as the
field slowed trying to keep heat in his tyres,
but it didn't look that way as he quickly
exerted his authority again.
Vettel, the 21-year-old who
became the youngest grand prix winner last
year when he scored at Monza, showed for
much of this race why he is so highly
regarded.
But the day belonged to the Brawn
team that barely five months ago looked to
be dead and buried, and its two drivers
whose futures, at that time, looked
decidedly bleak.
"This is not just for me but for the
whole team," Button said. "It's a fairytale
end to our first race together. I hope that we
can continue this way. I know that we will
fight to keep this car competitive.
"The whole team has done a great
job. This has got to continue, its what we
deserve. Bring on Malaysia."
Button will go to Sepang in Kuala
Lumpur for next weekend's Malaysian
Grand Prix as an even hotter favourite than
he started yesterday.
"People may say it's a pity it
finished under a safety car but I don't care.
I won the race … I am chuffed to bits."
But the switch in the starting time
of the race did not meet his approval. He
was concerned about the worsening
visibility as the light faded and the drop in
temperatures that affected the cars'
performances. "I struggled with the poor
light," Button said.

Wallace safe for 2009 season, says Tiger boss
TERRY Wallace will coach
the Tigers throughout season 2009
despite the club's dismal 83-point
round-one loss to Carlton,
Richmond president Gary March
said yesterday.
March, who described
Thursday's performance as one of
the most disappointing he had
seen, denied that Wallace's job
was on the line.
He said he had spoken to
Wallace since the game and, as
with everyone at the club, the
coach was "incredibly
disappointed".
But he added: "As far as
I'm concerned, Terry Wallace is the
coach for this year".
"It was a very, very, very
poor performance but we've got to
review our performance over 22
rounds," March told radio 3AW.
"We're not going to be
reactionary to one poor
performance. If you think back 12
months ago we had some really
poor performances early in the
year and we got our act together
and we just missed out on the
finals," he said.
"Missing out on the finals
would be unacceptable to our
whole club because we've set
ourselves to play in the finals this
year. But we're one game in."
He said all of Richmond's
22 players had performed below
their best, including star recruit
Ben Cousins, who received a
grade-one hamstring strain in the
last quarter.
He denied that the club
had poorly managed its list, having
made five changes last year and
introducing 30 new players over
the past four years.
"We've been fairly brutal in
terms of turning over the list but
the system doesn't allow you to
make nine or 10 changes every
year," March said. "Our list has still
got holes in it and we're still
addressing that."
March also revealed that
the club had researched Cousins'
injury problems throughout his
career, including the big hamstring
tear he received in his last game

with West Coast in 2007.
The impact of substance
abuse on a player's physical
conditioning and the potential it might a bit of heat through it and just to
have for injuries had also been
thoroughly researched, March said.

Cousins said he felt tightness

problem he had effectively managed
to play with in the past.
"It's just a niggling-type injury,

this is a minor hiccup but certainly

Cousins said he was not
about to give up despite the setback.
"It'd be easy for me to sit here and

In a puzzling security lapse,

ONE of Queensland's most

As the younger girl left the

"She was swearing at me

must've hit me about 40 times,"
the Year 9 student at St Rita's
College said.

“attribution is difficult because there

"We will certainly investigate

7 residents, 1 nurse die in nursing home shooting
CARTHAGE, N.C. A gunman
barged into a North Carolina nursing
home Sunday morning and started
"shooting everything," going room to
room in a terrifying rampage that killed
seven residents most in their late 80s
and a nurse who cared for them.
Authorities said Robert
Stewart also wounded three others,
including the Carthage police officer
who confronted him in a hallway of
Pinelake Health and Rehab and
stopped the brutal attack. Officials said
the massacre could have been
bloodier if the officer had not managed
to subdue Stewart.
"He acted in nothing short of a
heroic way today, and but for his
actions, we certainly could have had a
worse tragedy," said Moore County
District Attorney Maureen Krueger.
"We had an officer, a well-trained
officer, who performed his job the way
he was supposed to and prevented
this from getting even worse than it is
now."
By late Sunday afternoon,
Krueger had charged Stewart, 45, of
Moore County, with eight counts of
first-degree murder and a single
charge of felony assault of a law
enforcement officer. Authorities offered
few other details, allowing only that
Stewart was not a patient or an
employee at the nursing home and
isn't believed to be related to any of
the victims.
Authorities said they would
release more information at a news
conference Monday morning.
"I don't know if the emotion
entirely has set in," said Police Chief
Chris McKenzie, a Carthage native
who said nothing in his nearly 20-year
law enforcement career compared to
Sunday's slaughter. "It's a small
community built on faith, and faith will
get us through."
While authorities declined to
comment on a possible motive,
Stewart's ex-wife said he had been
reaching out recently to family
members, telling them he had cancer
and was preparing for a long trip and
to "go away." Sue Griffin said she was
married to Stewart for 15 years, and
while they hadn't spoken since
divorcing in 2001, he had been trying
to call her during the past week
through her son, mother, sister and
grandmother.
Griffin said Stewart had once
been a painter. She said she had no
20
1 Apr - 7 Apr 2009 (123)
idea whether her ex-husband was
somehow connected to the nursing home
or why he would shoot people there.
"He did have some violent
tendencies from time to time," Griffin said.
"I wouldn't put it past him. I hate to say it,
but it is true."
Authorities said Stewart began
his rampage around 10 a.m. at Pinelake
Health and Rehab in the North Carolina
Sandhills about 60 miles southwest of
Raleigh, firing shots inside and outside
the home. It ended when 25-year-old
Officer Justin Garner traded gunfire with
Stewart in a hallway, wounding the
suspect.
"He just comes in and just starts
shooting everything around," said Sen.
Harris Blake, of Moore County, relating
the story told by sheriff's officials.
Garner was wounded in his leg,
and police said Stewart wounded two
others. One person remained
hospitalized Sunday night at FirstHealth
Moore Regional Hospital in nearby
Pinehurst, and police would only say
Stewart was in the custody of the Moore
County Sheriff.
Krueger said the victims were
Pinelake residents Tessie Garner, 88;
Lillian Dunn, 89; Jessie Musser, 88;
Bessie Hendrick, 78; John Goldston, 78;
Margaret Johnson, 89; Louise Decker,
98; and nurse Jerry Avent, whose age
wasn't immediately available.
The facility was closed after the
attack as authorities worked to gather
evidence inside and out. Krueger
declined to say if authorities had moved
the surviving residents, including patients
with Alzheimer's disease, saying only,
"They're safe, which is the primary thing."
Beverly McNeill said her mother,
Pinelake resident Ellery Chishole, called
moments after the gunman stormed into
her room and pointed his "deer gun" at
her roommate. "They're up here shooting,
they're up here shooting," she frantically
told her 14-year-old granddaughter,
Tavia, over the phone.
Chishole told her daughter she
hid her face in her shirt so she couldn't
see the man or what she expected him to
do, McNeill said. He didn't shoot, but left
the room and began shooting down the
hallway.
Friends and family of Pinelake
residents and employees started to
gather not long after the shooting at the
First Baptist Church of Carthage. They
were frustrated by the lack of immediate
news about who had died, said Lea
Chandler, a volunteer with the Moore
News Corner
County chapter of the American Red
Cross.
Chandler said she saw two
women and their husbands get the
news that their mother had been killed.
"They were just crying out,
'Why mama?'" Chandler said. "To see
people suffer is hard. To see people
suffering, not knowing, trying to find
information. It's a crime scene. They're
not releasing things until people are
notified, all next of kin. That's got to be
hard. It really had to be hard."
Carthage police, Moore
County sheriff's deputies and the State
Bureau of Investigation conducted a
search Sunday afternoon of the
nursing home and its parking lot,
where the windows of at least two cars
were shattered and towed by
authorities. Among the items they
found was a camouflaged-colored rifle
or shotgun, which was leaning against
the side of a Jeep Cherokee.
Howard McMillian, of
Lakeview, said he raced to the scene
as soon as he heard about the
shooting. His 56-year-old sister lives at
the nursing home, and McMillian said
his brother had gotten a call from
officials saying she was unharmed.
"I know she's real nervous,"
McMillian said. "I just want to make
sure she's OK."
Carthage is a small town of
roughly 1,800 people in the North
Carolina Sandhills, an area popular
among retirees and home to several
noted golf courses, including the
famed Pinehurst resort and its No. 2
course that regularly hosts the U.S.
Open.
Pinelake Health and Rehab
was last inspected in May, and the
review resulted in an overall five-star
or "much above average" rating from
federal Medicaid officials. A nursing
home Web site said the facility opened
in 1993 and has 110 beds, including
20 for those with Alzheimer's disease.
Sunday's rampage happened
just weeks after a man killed 10
people, including his mother and
several other relatives, in the worst
mass shooting in Alabama's history on
March 10. On March 11, a teen killed
12 people at his former high school in
Germany.

Collingwood set to take umpiring complaints to AFL
boss Demetriou
Collingwood are set to go
straight to AFL boss Andrew
Demetriou over the standard of
umpiring after their four-point loss to
Adelaide Crows at the MCG on
Saturday.
Because of Magpies coach
Mick Malthouse's widely known lack
of faith in the head of the AFL
umpiring department Jeff Gieschen,
it is understood the Magpies want to
take their grievances to a higher
level.
A source close to Collingwood
president Eddie McGuire said the
Carlton's impressive start has Blues third favourite to win flag
A rampaging Carlton are all
the rage in betting shops after their
round one demolition of Richmond.
Yes, it was only the poor old
Tigers, but the size of the winning
margin and the knowledge they have
at least four to come back in to their
best 22 has prompted bookmakers to
wind them in.
TAB Sportsbet was betting $14
the flag about Carlton before Thursday
night, but the Blues are now third
favourites at $9 behind Geelong and
Hawthorn.
From a punting perspective,
the clearest indicator out of the first
round, apart from Carlton, was the fact
that the Cats and Hawks again look to
be the two best sides in the
competition.
"And Geelong fans believe
Gary Ablett can finally win the
Brownlow Medal that has eluded his
1 Apr - 7 Apr 2009 (123)
Pies were preparing a case to
present to AFL chief executive
Demetriou on Monday. It is more
likely that any grievances would be
referred to AFL general manager of
football operations, Adrian
Anderson.
Collingwood chief executive Gary
Pert was unavailable for comment
on Sunday and it was unclear
precisely what the Magpies were
angry about.
McGuire was non-commital
on Sunday about which course of
action Collingwood would take,
though he was fuming after
Saturday's loss.
"We haven't even sat down
as a club yet to discuss it,"
McGuire said.
"I'm sure we'll sit down and
have a chat about it, but it's a
matter for the coach and the
football director."
An Adelaide official said he was
bemused by Collingwood's
reaction to the umpires.
"We probably got a couple of
family, with some solid betting," Gary
Davies of TAB Sportsbet said.
"We took a bet of $20,000 on
Ablett before the match at $6 and
now have him at $4.50. No doubt
that punter is on good terms with
himself after what appeared to be a
best-afield performance."
The best-backed team for
the round, surprisingly, was
Richmond, well supported all around
the country and firming from $2.30 to
$1.92 with Sportsbet in Darwin.
"We took a $30,000 bet on
the Tigers at $2.25 and the punters
just kept coming for them," Phil
Hannah of Sportsbet said.
"The other big go was
Brisbane's Daniel Rich to win the
NAB Rising Star Award, with him
being backed from $12 into $4.50.
"He won't be a good result
for us, although at least Ben Cousins
Sports Corner
decisions that went our way, but then
there were a few that we didn't get
and we thought we should have," the
official said.
The game's free-kick count was 18 to
14 in favour of the Crows.
After the game, Pert said he would
have discussions with football
manager Geoff Walsh to establish
what steps the Pies would take.
"All anyone is talking about is the
umpiring," Pert said. "We just need to
understand the interpretations. We
need explanations."
At his post-match interview,
Malthouse blamed the skill errors of
his players, and not umpires, for the
loss.
"I was very disappointed by the fact
that we created the opportunities but
weren't able to execute," he said.
AFL spokesman Patrick
Keane said clubs would usually
advise any concerns arising from a
match on the following Monday.
would appear to be out of Brownlow
contention.
"He was backed from $67 into
$26 with us and was clearly our worst
result."
Betting on the Richmond-Carlton
game created an opening-round record
with TAB Sportsbet, with a pool of more
than $1.4 million.
