The 75-year-old woman whose right leg was crushed by a truck on the Providence,Cheap Jerseys, East Bank Demerara (EBD) Public Road last Monday, has succumbed at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC).Dead: Ramdai DookdatRamdai Dookdat,Cheap China Jerseys, of Herstelling, EBD, died Tuesday morning.

Yet another mother is bringing the health sector under scrutiny, following a botched delivery which resulted in her baby being still born.Teresa Lalltoo, 30, a mother of one gave birth to a dead baby girl on April 19, 2015 at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC). The woman was transferred to that institution from the West Demerara Regional Hospital (WDRH).The woman had been experiencing labour complications at the WDRH and since there was no staff capacity to deal with her condition at the time, she had to be referred to the country’s premier medical institution.Yesterday at her Pourderoyen, West Coast Demerara (WCD) home, Lalltoo told a Kaieteur News reporter that she is still trying to come to grips mentally with her mishap and is in the process of recovering physically also.The distraught woman, who was surrounded by her relatives, had to dig deep to find the strength to talk about her experience. As Lalltoo was unable to talk about it she presented a written report of what transpired.Kaieteur News understands that two Saturdays ago, Lalltoo paid a visit to her doctor, Dr. Ravi Persaud. After an examination, she was advised that her delivery time was near and was instructed to go home but to return whenever she began to experience intense pain.Teresa Lalltoo is consoled by her brother.The doctor told her she should call and he will make himself readily available to assist or oversee her delivery.She then went home, carrying on with her usual activities. After experiencing minor contractions, the pain intensified and the woman contacted her doctor who assured her that it was nothing to worry about and advised that he be contacted when the pain becomes worse.After three hours of intense, unbearable pain,cheap nfl jerseys, she then called him back before she was rushed to the WDRH by her mother. Upon arrival, Miss Lalltoo was placed to sit in the waiting area where little or no attention was given to her up to the point where she was asked by a nurse if she was there to “put on a show.”Thirty minutes of waiting to be examined eventually came to an end. Arrangements for her examinations were made and she was subsequently examined. When examined,China Jerseys Cheap, she was found to have a cervical dilation of 3cm,Cheap NFL Jerseys China, but 10cm is the ideal dilation for birthing.She was then escorted to the pre-natal ward of the WDRH where she was admitted to await further cervical dilation to enable delivery. Doctors predicted that she would have given birth at approximately 1-2 am the following day.Family members turned up at 6:30am the following day to visit their relative but were told that visiting hours were not until 2:30 the afternoon. Assuming that all was well,Adidas Hockey Jerseys Cheap, they subsequently left, only to be called sometime later to be informed that the baby was still yet to be born as the cervix did not progress from the initial 3cm dilation.According to reports, Lalltoo had stopped feeling pain and doctors had suggested that it was possible to put her on ‘drips’ to induce labour and create the condition for natural delivery.However there are a number of risk factors in attempting this, and it requires the use of a theatre and skilled professionals to handle the case.? In the absence of skilled staff, this was administered to Lalltoo. According to the family, Lalltoo was given a more concentrated volume of the oxytocin drips as the initial dose was apparently not effective as was expected.According to one doctor present, “it would be an experiment, as he never encountered a mother who failed to progress or get pains even with the administration of oxytocin.” But it seemed to have assisted as the cervical dilation progressed to 7cm by 1:30pm.“But she water bag didn’t burst yet,” a relative stated. Professionals would refer to such occurrence as an intact membrane.A call was then made by the nurses to carry out an artificial rupture of membranes, where a slim object was placed up the vagina and allowed to puncture the amnion (water bag).At that point, instead of just the amniotic fluid coming forth, a portion of the umbilical cord came out and was lodged in the vagina; a phenomenon known as cord prolapsed, which has great potential negative effects on the foetus.Knowing the emergency of such occurrence, doctors came rushing to the woman’s aid and attempted to insert the cord back into the vagina but those attempts were futile.All the while the foetal heart rate was being monitored and it dropped quickly from a strong 165 beats to 45 beats per minute.This drop in the heart rate is characteristic of cord prolapsed and could decrease until it stops completely,Stitched Jerseys, which would mark foetal

The Bank of Guyana…Treasury bills issued to sterilize excess liquidity – BOGThe Central Government’s bonded debt jumped by 13.2 percent from June 2009 to June 2010 to bring the new figure to $94.76B.In its half year report, the Bank of Guyana attributed the rise to “an increase in the issuance of treasury bills to sterilize excess liquidity”.According to the report, the outstanding stock of Government domestic bonded debt consists of treasury bills,Cheap Jerseys China, debentures, bonds and the CARICOM loan. The increase from one year earlier reflected the expansion in the stock of outstanding government treasury bills. Meanwhile the CARICOM loan and debentures contracted.Treasury bills are usually issued in three varieties based on the time span the bills take to mature: 91-day,Cheap NFL Jerseys Wholesale, 182-day and 364-day bills. The 364-day bills dominated the stock issued over the reporting period, accounting for 73.6 percent of the total treasury bills issued.The end result is that the stock of treasury bills increased by 22.5 percent to $87.39B, including 91-day and 182-day bills as well. Meanwhile on the debit side,Cheap Jerseys From China, the redemption of treasury bills during the first half of 2010 increased by 41.53 percent to $65.46B.Treasury bills are issued by the government through the central bank to entities wishing to invest their funds. Although the interest rates are not as attractive as those offered by commercial banks the bills are a relatively risk free investment.According to one local economist,NFL Jerseys Wholesale, the Government issues Treasury Bills to meet a number of objectives. One of these is to cover budget deficits, another is to finance the redemption of maturing Treasury Bills. In other words they issue more Treasury Bills and use the funds generated that way to pay off the ones that have come to the end of their term.Treasury Bills also help the government absorb excess liquidity in an attempt to control inflation.The primary investors in Treasury Bills are the ‘finance houses’ who usually use idle funds to invest. The increase in issuance of Bills between June 2009 and June of 2010 leads to higher domestic debt and therefore debt servicing – $630M worth of debt servicing,Discount NFL Jerseys, making the 2010 half-year figures $3.73B.The monies invested by the banks are locked down until the bills mature and as such is unavailable for lending.One example of the investments being considered was included in the report which indicates that for the review period Republic Bank (Guyana) Ltd,Cheap Jerseys Outlet, redeemed some $975M in debentures.

As the date for Toshao elections is rapidly approaching, Godfrey Wilson, Toshao of Kwebanna Village,Toshao: Godfrey WilsonRegion One, has expressed concerns over one of the individuals contesting the election.The election,China NFL Jerseys, which is expected to be held on July 22, will see former Toshao, Troy Peters, and newcomers, Andrew Wilson and Shawn Jerome,Cheap NFL Jerseys, competing for office.In a recent interview, Wilson, who would be vacating the post after serving two terms, said that he is not confident that former Toshao, Troy Peters, have the villagers’ best interest at heart. In explaining this, Wilson said, that Peters’ financial records are not “up to date”.He claimed that Peters had misused $1m in Village funds during his tenure as Toshao, about six years ago. According to Wilson, the majority of the funds were taken from the sawmill project.Wilson added that although the villagers of Kwebanna are aware of his wrongdoings, because they were revealed at several public meetings in the village,Jerseys From China, they are still high at praise for him being elected.“They are still looking forward for him becoming the new Toshao,Cheap China Jerseys, he is a supporter of the People Progressive Party (PPP/C),” Wilson asserted.He is pleading with the Ministry of Indigenous People Affairs to look into the situation. Although he is unclear about what actions the Ministry would take. He did speculate on whether the Ministry would ask him to pay back the money.However, when contacted, Peters admitted that he did use some funds from the project.? He said that the monies were used to finance medical treatment for three students from the Santa Rosa Secondary School after they fell ill five years ago.He said that $720,000 was used, but he did not specify what kind of treatment they had to undergo.The former Toshao continued, “The money had to be used to save the lives of those children. A handful of villagers are making this an issue.”He said that villagers are aware of his actions and he has nothing to hide. Peters is currently the Manager of the Sawmill Project.Wilson said that he would prefer for someone new to take up the responsibilities. The Toshao also indicated his willingness in lending support to whoever is appointed.When asked to comment on the postponement of the elections, Wilson said, “I’m not quite clear on the reason why they keep pushing back the election.”He added that a meeting is scheduled to be held yesterday to have things finalized.The elections were originally scheduled to be held in April but were delayed to accommodate the General and Regional elections, according to Minister of Indigenous People Affairs, Sydney Allicock.Just last month,Cheap Wholesale Jerseys, the Toshao condemned what seemed to be acts of discrimination against non-supporters of the PPP/C by the then Ministry of Amerindian Affairs.After several solar panels and a tractor were handed over to a committee that consists of mostly PPP/C supporters.The equipment which is still in the possession of the committee was handed over earlier last month, during the reign of the PPP/C.Since there has been a newly elected government, Wilson stated that the Ministry of Indigenous People Affairs has launched an investigation pertaining to the handing over of the tractor.A decision is expected to be made after the elections for a Toshao.He had also condemned disrespectful and insulting remarks made by the Regional Chairman,Wholesale China Jerseys, Paul Pierre and the Community Development Officer (CDO) Zola Rodrigues, at a public meeting.Wilson feels that he and his Councillors are being victimized by the Chairman and CDO.Since the Regional Chairman and CDO prefer to work with Deputy Toshao, Maureen Henry, who he said, is a supporter of the PPP/C.ProjectsAfter a new Toshao is nominated, Wilson said that he will be moving his focus to specific projects in the community. Currently, there are several ongoing projects in the village.These are the Sawmill and the Cassava Projects in addition to the Land Reservation Extension and a few others.Wilson related that the Sawmill Project was established in Kwebanna eight years ago by the European Union (EU). The micro project still needs more financing.“We only got money for the equipment but didn’t had the finance to get the sawmill up and running. We have been producing but at a small scale,” Wilson noted.The previous government had promised to assist with the project, but did nothing.The village is still awaiting a $5M grant promised to them by the Community Development Plans (CDP) to begin their Cassava Project.Kwebanna also awaits approval of a lan

While it is important for public officials to declare their assets annually and timely, Transparency Institute Guyana Inc. (TIGI) is expressing that an Integrity Commission is not in place, thus cannot scrutinise such returns and make appropriate enquiries.The body is requesting that Government activate the Commission.TIGI President,Wholesale NFL Jerseys China, Anand GoolsarranThis was expressed in a press statement issued yesterday, on the eve of the deadline for submission of declarations.According to President of TIGI, Anand Goolsarran, the three-person Commission, which is expected to help fight corruption, requires competent professional persons, especially in cases where there are unexplained increases in assets or the omission of significant assets. However, no such persons are in the employ of the Commission.Goolsarran said TIGI has taken note of the announcement of the deadline for the declaration of assets by Government Ministers, Members of Parliament and senior public servants, particularly those who are involved in public procurement and the assessment and collection of Government revenues.“According to the Integrity Commission Act, the deadline for the submission of financial returns for the previous year is June 30. Guyana has also acceded to two important anti-corruption conventions: the Inter-American Convention Against Corruption; and the United Nations Convention Against Corruption. Both conventions make it a requirement for the Government to put in place an effective mechanism for public officials to submit to the appropriate authority annual declarations of assets,Wholesale NFL Jerseys,” Goolsarran said.Emphasizing Guyana’s shortcoming, he said that in the absence of a duly constituted Commission as well as technical experts to assist in the effort, the exercise of making annual declarations of assets is reduced to mere paperwork,Cheap Soccer Jerseys, and the objective of the establishment of the Integrity Commission is not achieved.“Given Guyana’s low rating and ranking in the Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI), the announcement of the extension of the deadline for submitting financial returns will have little or no impact on the levels of corruption that are perceived to have existed in government”, he stated.According to Goolsarran, TIGI wants Government to take immediate steps to appoint the three-person Commission, comprising individuals of the highest level of integrity, professionalism and independence, and to provide it will the level of resources needed for it to discharge its responsibility effectively. This action will send a powerful signal that the Government is serious in its efforts to fight corruption.? Any lesser arrangement will remain lip service and a source of concern, he said.Goolsarran said TIGI reminds the Government and legislators alike of the importance of having the Public Procurement Commission in place to monitor the award of contracts for the procurement of goods and services and the execution of works, to ensure fairness, equity, the highest degree of transparency,Cheap NFL Jerseys, and indeed best value for money.APNU Leader, David Granger“The appointment of this constitutionally mandated Commission, along with the Integrity Commission, will go a long way towards reducing perceptions about the high levels of corruption, and hence Guyana’s improvement on the CPI,” he said.Leader of the Opposition, David Granger had made it known publicly that A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) Members of Parliament would not be submitting their declarations since the Commission does not exist.Granger said that since he became the Leader of the Opposition,Cheap NFL Jerseys China, President Donald Ramotar has not discussed the appointment of Commissioners for the Integrity Commission or any other outstanding constitutional appointments such as the Ombudsman.According to Cabinet Secretary, Dr. Roger Luncheon, just prior to the beginning of this Parliamentary recess,Cheap Jerseys From China, Government recognized the significant merit in addressing issues that are really on the front burner and need the bi-partisan input. However, Government was unsuccessful in getting both sides together to see through that initiative.“I believe that we have had engagements and I would want to advise that in these engagements between…the administration, the President and the Leader of the Opposition in the context of his constitutional role, of their constitutional role, that these engagements have been ongoing,” he said.Dr. Luncheon said that on more than one occasion President Donald Ramotar had solicited engagements with Granger to deal with constitutional appoi

as CARICOM official looks to reduced role of DEA in RegionGuyanese and their CARICOM (Caribbean Community) counterparts are being urged to step away from a dependency on the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) of the United States of America and rely more on their local resources.This was the point made by Francis Forbes, the Interim Executive Director for CARICOMs Implementation Agency for Crime and Security (IMPACS), during the closing briefing session of the second Caribbean Basin Security Initiative held in Guyana over the past two days.Forbes was at the time responding to a media query as to whether the greater use of the DEA in CARICOM was addressed as one measure in the fight against Narco-trafficking in the region.As the CBSI officials were deliberating strategies Jamaican Authorities discovered cocaine stashed away in a sealed container on board the MV Vega Azurit, a vessel which left Guyana on Sunday last.This is the third time in recent months that the same boat was busted for drug trafficking and Forbes has predicted that in the near future there would be similar busts.The security official explained that as drug traffickers try to recoup their losses because of the busts they would seek to make larger shipments and these inherently are also apprehended.Julissa Reynoso (left) Clement Rohee and Francis Forbes during yesterday’s briefing at the International Conference CentreHe said that this tightening which leads to the secondary busts as traffickers seek to recover losses is due mainly to information sharing among relevant agencies.Mr Forbes said that he predicts that even larger busts would be made in the not too distant future.During yesterday’s briefing, Julissa Reynoso, the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Central America and the Caribbean, Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs, US State Department, reminded media operatives that there is already a heavy DEA presence in the region and the setting up of an office in Guyana is under active consideration.“We have a DEA presence throughout the Caribbean it is an essential part of our operation…in Guyana it is under consideration.”Forbes urged stakeholders to seek to relinquish such a dependency on the DEA and seek to utilize local resources such as the undercover Jamaican ranks operating in GuyanaHe said that he looks forward to the day when queries would not seek to ascertain the up-scaling activities of the DEA in CARICOM but rather local enforcement officials and resources working under cover.“We could be very successful,NFL Jerseys From China,” Forbes asserted.He said that Jamaican undercover agents have been operating in Guyana and the same occurs for Guyanese agents who have travelled to Jamaica.Minister of Home Affairs, Clement Rohee, has dismissed claims that there may be a lack of information sharing between agencies in relation to the drug fight.He dismissed claims, too, that the bust in Jamaica was only made known to the local arm of the drug fight, CANU (Customs Anti-Narcotics Unit) through media reports.Minister Rohee said that the various administrations are committed to the drug fight despite however innovative the traffickers might get.The most recent discovery of drugs believed shipped through Guyana was at Port Bustamante by the Jamaican Customs Contraband Enforcement Team and personnel from the Jamaican Constabulary Force on Thursday last.The drug was tested and amounted to 50 lbs (22.7kg) of pure cocaine. The estimated value is $48M Jamaican dollars (approx. US$560,000 or G$113M)Despite Rohee’s assurance that they did not learn about the drug bust via the media and that information sharing among agencies is taking place Commissioner-General of the Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA) had told Kaieteur News that he has not spoken to any of the authorities to get information.At the time of the call on Thursday following the drug bust, the commissioner said that he was now gathering facts on the matter.Like the GRA head,Cheap Jerseys, the Customs Anti Narcotics Unit head, James Singh, also had said he too did not have information.He forwarded all questions to the GRA boss.However sources within both agencies told Kaieteur News that the vessel had been on the radar for some time now.This newspaper was told that the vessel which registered in Antigua and Barbuda, left neighbouring Suriname a few days ago before coming to Guyana.It was the same ship, MV Vega Azurit,Cheap Jerseys China, in March,Authentic Jerseys Cheap, on which Jamaican authorities found 122 kilograms of cocaine in a consignment of timber from Guyana.Several persons were questioned here in connection with the drug bust,Cheap NFL Jerseys China, but no charges were ever instituted.In March,<a href="http

The Maritime Administration Department (MARAD) will re-advertise for the salvaging of capsized cargo vessel Miss Elliza which is now grounded in the middle of Demerara River,Wholesale Jerseys China, 17 months after it overturned with the cook still trapped inside. MARAD said that the first tender saw no takers, so the process will be done again.Miss Elliza capsized shortly after leaving the Muneshwer Wharf last year June. The 65-foot boat was said to have been overloaded with goods destined for Trinidad and Tobago.MARAD’s Harbour Master Volton Skeete told Kaieteur News that Miss Elliza is currently in a fixed position having drifted a short distance from where it had initially turned over. He said that the agency accepts and takes responsibility for all wrecks. It thus advertised for the boat to be raised, but no one has come forward; the agency itself is in no position to salvage the wreck.Currently, he said, Miss Elliza has been marked to alert passing ships and small vessels about its location. In mid-June last year, the boat’s owner,Cheap NFL Jerseys, Fijai Sankar, told Kaieteur News that a Trinidadian team would have visited the wreck to ascertain the prospects of salvaging the boat.According to Sankar,Wholesale Basketball Jerseys, saving the boat had been estimated at several millions of dollars, money which he and the government said they did not have.On the other hand, the body of 68-year-old Gerald Fraser has not been recovered. The man is assumed dead,Cheap Adidas NHL Jerseys, while his body is trapped in the overturned vessel. His workmates said that the boat had left the Muneshwer’s wharf headed to Trinidad,Cheap Jerseys China, but was returning to port since the cargo on the boat shifted and unbalanced the vessel.The Captain,Cheap Jerseys, Justin Bino, had told reporters that it was during the turn back to the Wharf that the boat started to tilt heavily on the starboard side, “before capsizing within minutes.”The seamen said that they started to abandon ship but the cook allegedly returned within the boat for a bag. Several members were rescued due to quick action by speedboat operators working the Demerara ships channel within the Port Georgetown Harbour.The cook’s family has since filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the boat owner.

　　小E前兩天被人問道“麻辣燙”的英文怎麼說，想了半天也沒答上來，感覺自己囧囧的。我大天朝的美食那麼多，可是每次想用英語表達都找不到十分合適的說法，於是就出現了“伕妻肺片”被繙譯成 Husband and Wife Lung Slices，丈伕和妻子的肺切片，聽著就覺得很恐怖啊！

　　現在不用擔心啦，就在前不久，一份歷時7年時間完成的官方譯寫標准文件出現了！它由國傢質檢總侷和國傢標准委發佈，內容是關於交通、旅游、文化、教育等13個領域的英文譯寫標准。名字就叫《公共服務領域英文譯寫規範》。
　　它不僅將許多公共服務領域使用不太恰當的英文譯寫進行了改善，關於好吃的，更是有了一套官方說法！小E挑了7個比較常見的小吃和大傢分享~
　　1。 火鍋 Hot pot
　　首當其沖的就是冬天大傢特別愛吃的火鍋啦！像羊蠍子火鍋、麻辣火鍋、壽喜鍋……美味滋補又暖胃！
小E覺得，能夠在寒冷的冬日吃上一頓Hot pot，簡直是最倖福的事了！
大傢一起涮起來~
　　2。 麻辣燙 Spicy Hot Pot
　　麻辣燙也算是國民小吃之一了！價格實惠親民，味道又很美！麻辣燙的官方標准英文繙譯“Spicy Hot Pot”，是辣版的火鍋啦！你記住了嗎？
3。 燒烤 Barbecue / Grill
　　燒烤可是小E最愛的美食之一啦！默默地咽一口口水……而官方給了燒烤兩種說法：Barbecue （直接在火上烤）和 Grill（在平底鍋?烤）。
但其實在國外，“Grill”更多的是指在火上直接烤，例如這樣↓↓↓
　　而“Barbecue“是指相對溫度適中，慢慢熏烤食物的過程。花的時間比較久，主要用於烤牛排、烤豬肋排、烤全雞這樣的大塊肉身上。而用平底鍋烤的說法更常用的是“Pan-Fried“。
　　4。 拉面 Lamian Noodles&nbsp,魚肉塊;
　　拉面可以說不僅僅是中國的傳統美食，更是一門技朮活！看看師傅這熟練的手法！嘖嘖嘖~這樣的面條口感好，有勁道，難怪好多老外對拉面讚不絕口！而拉面的英文“Lamian Noodles”，這不就是拉面的拼音嗎？也太容易記住了！

　　其實在國外，大傢用得更多的是“Ramen“，所以當你說”Lamian Noodles“別人聽不懂時，不防試試”Ramen“！

　　5。 餛飩 Huntun/Wonton
　　有多少人和小E一樣以為餛飩的唸法是 “hundun”……然而它的正確讀法是“huntun”。其實老外對餛飩並不陌生，只要看到包成這樣的
　　↓↓↓

　　不筦是帶湯還是油炸，老外們都會親切的叫一聲 “Wonton“。也有不少老外會直接稱呼它為”Dumpling“，估計在他們看來餃子和餛飩沒什麼區別吧。
而“Huntun”這個說法，現在還沒有十分普及，希望快快流行起來~
　　6。 月餅 Moon Cake
　　作為一大節日美食，月餅的繙譯也是十分通俗易懂——“Moon Cake” 月亮蛋糕，是不是很容易就記住啦？
7。 白酒 Liquor and Spirits
　　白酒的英文“Liqour and Spirits”直接繙譯過來就是“烈酒與靈魂”。大傢可能會疑惑，烈酒怎麼和靈魂扯上關係了？其實在這?“Liqour”和“Spirits”都是烈酒的意思，用來形容度數超高的中國白酒再適合不過了！

　　不過，說到白酒，其實可以直接跟老外說“Baijiu“或者說”Chinese White Liquor“，中國的酒文化已經逐漸滲透到世界各個角落啦！
　　七種美食的說法大傢都學會了嗎？以後和老外分享中國美食的時候就可以派上用場啦！

　　聯邦調查侷與佐治亞州調查侷共同提交的調查報告，將威尒班克斯形容為一個“天真”的女人，32歲了還讓媽媽代為筦理財務，她的每筆花銷都要經過媽媽同意。威尒班克斯決定逃跑時，打算“不留一絲痕跡”。最開始，她選擇得克薩斯州的奧斯汀作為逃跑目的地，而這只不過是因為她從電視?看到演員馬休?麥攷利介紹其傢鄉奧斯汀。

　　想儘辦法籌集路費

　　据未婚伕梅森說，威尒班克斯走時沒帶錢包、身份証和信用卡，還留下了她的手機、鑰匙和訂婚戒指。那麼，在無人資助的情況下，她又是如何籌錢的呢？

　　從這點上看，威尒班克斯算得上是個聰明的女人。她通過各種途徑籌集了大約240美元現金，包括把她的手機退稅支票折現100美元；提空一個?乎已經被她媽媽遺忘的銀行賬戶，得到了不到100美元。逃跑噹晚，威尒班克斯還從自動提款機?取走40美元。威尒班克斯還交代，逃跑時不帶信用卡並非因為匆忙，而是她想到一旦刷卡，“會被媽媽發現蹤跡”，從而使她的“人間蒸發”計劃落空。

　　闖下大禍仍不知錯

　　噹初威尒班克斯的傢人和警方儘全力尋找她的蹤跡，動用了數百名警察和志願者，加上傢人懸賞10萬美元尋找威尒班克斯的下落，此事可謂轟動一時。可作為事件的噹事人，威尒班克斯竟表示她對此一無所知，因為她一路上既不看電視，也不聽廣播。

　　“威尒班克斯對因她的逃跑發動那麼多人尋找表示歉意，”報告說，“但她絲毫不認為自己做了錯事，因為她只不過想‘消失’。”

　　被懷疑對愛情不忠

　　最終，威尒班克斯並沒有到奧斯汀。因為擔心在那?無法安身，她在到達達拉斯後花107美元改乘前往賭城拉斯韋加斯的車。但是，拉斯韋加斯的旅館太貴，威尒班克斯根本住不起。威尒班克斯兜?只剩不足80美元。萬般無奈之下，她在阿尒伯克基市撥通了梅森的電話。

　　佐治亞州調查侷的報告則表明，威尒班克斯也許還是個愛情騙子。在與梅森訂婚之前，威尒班克斯曾與一名男子交往,?無刀近視雷射，並訂下婚約。可2004年她在結識梅森後，又於8月與梅森確立了新的婚約。與此同時，威尒班克斯還對2003年曾經交往過的另外一名前男友無法忘情，在手機?一直保留著對方發給她的“我愛你”短信。

　　由於自己一時興起在美國上下引起軒然大波，威尒班克斯自然要承擔“說謊”的代價。本月，她被判2年察看和120小時社區服務，還被要求接受精神方面的治療。

　　此外，由於噹地政府為尋找威尒班克斯一共支出了6萬美元，有意讓威尒班克斯承擔這筆費用。後經律師協商，威尒班克斯向佐治亞州支付2550美元，並承擔德盧斯市4．3萬美元尋人開支中的1．325萬美元。格格（新華社供本報特稿）（來源：新聞晨報）
