LEWISTON, Maine (WGME) — The Occupational Safety and Health Administration says a man whose arm was severed at a Lewiston, Maine market did not work there.
The agency says it ended its inves-
tigation into the incident because the man wasn't an employee at AK Market, giving them no jurisdic- tion to investigate what happened.
In January, 25- year-old Abdiaziz Hussein of Lewiston was saved by city employees who saw him walking down the street carrying his sev-
ered arm, which had been cut off near the shoul- der, and applied a tourniquet.
According to the Sun Journal, police did not reveal the man's relationship to the market or what led up to the injury but did say it involved a meat-cutting band saw.
Cross-country Skiing- Finn Remi Suffers Frozen Penis In Mass Start Race
ZHANGJIAKOU, China, Feb 20 (Reuters) - The men's 50km mass start race at the Beijing Games was short- ened to 30km but that did little to help Finland's Remi Lindholm, who needed a heat pack at the end of the race to thaw out a particu- larly sensitive body part.
Lindholm spent just under an hour and 16 minutes tra- versing the course in howl- ing, freezing winds, leading to his penis becoming frozen for the second time in a cross-country skiing race following a similar inci- dent in Ruka, Finland last year.
"You can guess which body part was a little bit frozen when I finished (the men's Olympic 50km race) ... it
was one of the worst com- petitions I've been in. It was just about battling through," he told Finnish media.
With organizers worried about frostbite during Saturday's race, it was delayed by an hour and shortened by 20km. The thin suits and under-layers worn by racers, as well as plasters to cover their faces and ears, offered little pro- tection.
Lindholm explained that he used a heat pack to try to thaw out his appendage once the race was over.
"When the body parts start- ed to warm up after the fin- ish, the pain was unbear- able," he added.
