'Racist' Brampton flyer broke no laws, police say
A flyer that sparked outrage for singling out the Sikh community when it was distributed in Brampton last month is "racist and offensive" but does not warrant hate crimes charges, Peel Regional Police say.

Share via Email
An anti-immigration flyer that sparked outrage for singling out the Sikh community when it was distributed in Brampton last month is "racist and offensive" but does not warrant hate crimes charges, Peel Regional Police say.
"We understand the deep hurt and harm incidents such as this cause our community," police said in a statement released Thursday in announcing no charges would be laid. After an investigation and consultations with the Peel Crown Attorney's Office, police said the contents of the flyer did not meet the legal threshold for hate crime charges.
The flyer is entitled "The Changing Face of Brampton" and shows a photograph of an all-white group with the caption "From this" above a photo of a group of Sikhs, with the caption "To this."
Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne responded to the statement from police on Thursday evening and said the absence of formal charges made the flyers "no less repulsive,"
"I was proud to stand with the people of Brampton in bringing forward a motion in the Ontario Legislature to officially condemn the flyers, defend the vibrancy of Brampton and our Sikh community, and uphold our values as Ontarians. There's no place for the politics of division in Ontario," she wrote in an email to the Star.
Wynne, along with a range of groups, called the leaflet "hateful" when it was handed out to Brampton residents.
The decision to not pursue charges was also condemned by members of the Sikh community. Brampton Sikh activist Gurmeet Singh said Immigration Watch, the group behind the flyer, had committed a hate crime and said other immigrants would now come under their crosshairs.
"In my opinion, they should have been prohibited to use this flyer," he said. "They are targeting the Sikh community at this time, but they will now be targeting other groups. They can be targeting anyone coming from anywhere. This is a hate crime."
For its part, Immigration Watch said it was surprised an investigation even took place.
"I never expected any charges to be laid in the first place. I thought they were so ridiculous from the beginning and meant to shut people up," Dan Murray, a spokesperson and co-founder of the group, told the Star. "If anything should be going on, the real uproar should be over unnecessary immigration … displacing thousands of Canadians from their jobs."

Police said they came to know of this change of plan through their informers. The white Scorpio, which belonged to Mohan's brother, was spotted in Rohini around 11.45 pm.
When police signalled the car to stop, Mohan, who was in the driver's seat sped away. He allegedly began to ram the police vehicles ahead of him and also opened fire. Police immediately relaitated and one of their shots punctured the Scorpio's tyre.
"We were able to corner the Scorpio near the divider of Sector 16 and 17, but the accused kept firing from inside the car. We fired in retaliation and three bullets hit Mohan," Sharma said.
He was rushed to the hospital where he succumbed to injuries, she said.
Police said while Mohan was unable to flee as he was on the driver's seat, the other two accused managed to escape.
"There was a huge park adjacent to the road where the shootout occurred. Mohan's associate got down from the car and ran towards the park and escaped," police said.
A 9 mm pistol and a country-made pistol were recovered from the car. Police said the gang had recently targeted the house of an elderly and decamped with valuables. A case was registered at the KN Katju Marg police station.
This is the second encounter in less than a month. A person was killed in an encounter in Pitampura on January 19, when a Meerut-based cattle lifting gang tried to evade police on the Outer Ring Road.

New Delhi:Police said Mohan Kumar, who was gunned down in a police encounter in Rohini Sector-17, Outer Delhi, late Wednesday night was booked in nine cases, including that of kidnapping, robbery and several cases under Excise Act.
He was convicted of raping a 14-year-old girl in Mongolpuri in 2006. He was released from prison in May 2012.

Twitter will add Instagram style photo editing in mobile app
Copycat move exposes Twitter's fear of Instagram's growing popularity
MICROBLOGGING WEBSITE Twitter is taking a leaf out of photo sharing app Instagram's book and adding image editing features such as filters to its social network, according to The New York Times.
Twitter will update its mobile app so users can share altered photographs without the need to use Instagram. We have asked Twitter to confirm the rumour, but are still awaiting a response.
If the addition of the blatant copycat feature is true, then it hints at Twitter's mounting fears of Instagram's growing popularity.
For instance, back in July, Twitter blocked the "Find friends on Twitter" feature from Instagram. Users who updated their Instagram apps and tried to use the function found instead that they were greeted by a message that read, "Unable to Find Friends".
All Twitter had to say at the time was, "Twitter no longer allows its users to access this information in Instagram via the Twitter API. We apologize for any inconvenience."
The news also comes not long after Instagram overtook Twitter for the first time in September, having been used by 7.3 million users during the month of August.
In comparison, Twitter's mobile application was used by only 6.9 million users, according to a Comscore report. The report, published by Allthingsd, revealed that Instagram users were also more engaged, spending on average 257 minutes with the app compared to the average Twitter user spending just 170 minutes tweeting from their smartphone.
Although Instagram might be winning the usage battle it looks like Twitter is still winning the popularity war, besting its photo-sharing rival with 29 million unique US visitors during August, compared to 22 million Instagrammers. µ

SALEM, Ore. — The Oregon Legislature moved late today to give Oregon Health & Science University all of the $200 million it requested for cancer research facilities.
The OHSU money was included in six budget bills approved in a Ways and Means subcommittee as lawmakers raced to adjourn the five-week legislative session today. The full Ways and Means Committee was expected to sign off later today.
OHSU would get just over $200 million to pay for new research and clinic space in Portland. The money will help the university meet a challenge from Nike co-founder Phil Knight, who says he'll donate $500 million if the school can get an equal amount from elsewhere. The school hopes to recruit top-ranked researchers to focus on early detection of cancer.
OHSU would not get the state money unless it successfully raises the rest, and construction contractors would be required to pay a prevailing wage and meet requirements for employing apprentices.
"We are making this commitment with a set of expectations that are incredibly important and should be followed," House Speaker Tina Kotek said.
Not included, however, was a requirement that OHSU treat all patients on the Oregon Health Plan, the state's Medicaid program providing health insurance to the poor. That had been the subject of weeks of behind-the-scenes fighting among health care companies, which spilled into the open this week.
FamilyCare, one of the two coordinated care organizations that manage care for Oregon Health Plan patients in the Portland area, says OHSU filed suit about a year ago over its reimbursement rate and has recently been refusing nonemergency care for some FamilyCare patients.
"They're acting like a bully," said Jeff Heatherington, FamilyCare's chief executive.
When OHSU announced its request for $200 million, FamilyCare lobbied for language that would require OHSU to offer all its services to all Oregon Health Plan patients. That didn't materialize, and Kotek instead secured only a requirement for a work group to look into how health care providers might improve access to care for Medicaid patients.
"As a publicly funded institution, they should be open to all the citizens of Oregon," Heatherington said.
OHSU officials say they have to constantly manage their limited capacity and sometimes have to turn away people from insurers they have no contract with.
"If they require complex care uniquely available at OHSU, we see the patient regardless of coverage," OHSU said in a statement. "If their condition does not require treatment at OHSU, we inform the patient they can be seen by an in-network provider in the community."
OHSU treats FamilyCare patients the same way it treats patients from any other insurer it doesn't contract with, said Brian Shipley, an OHSU lobbyist. Nothing's changed in the way it treats FamilyCare patients, he said, although an increase in Medicaid patients under the federal health care law may be increasing the number of referrals to OHSU.
Aside from the OHSU money, lawmakers approved $29 million in building projects at five state universities and a variety of construction plans around the state, including a storm water project in Stayton, a library in Cornelius and a courthouse in Jefferson County.
Republicans were hoping to adjourn in time to make it to the annual Dorchester Conference, a gathering of Republicans in Seaside that begins this evening.

Now that the holidays are over, it's time to dive into the new year. The busyness of the season left many of us overstretched and sleep-deprived, and at higher risk for illness, including colds and flu, no matter the season.
Now's the time to put in place some practices that will leave your immune system operating at peak performance. There are a number of supplements and botanicals that can help to reduce your risk of getting sick.
They include the following:
- Zinc is important for a healthy immune system, and the elderly in particular are often zinc-deficient. Be sure to eat zinc-rich foods, including oysters, beef, liver, poultry, crab and pork. Zinc is not well absorbed from multivitamins, so if you need extra zinc, take it as a separate supplement. The RDA is 11 milligrams per day for men and 8 milligrams for women, though some people need more.
- Probiotics may help to prevent colds or reduce the duration of symptoms. They seem to work by stimulating immune function. Try lactobacillus rhamnosus GG or a mixed probiotic containing lactobacilli and bifidobacteria. The optimal dose is uncertain, but usually about 10 billion colony forming units per day for kids and 25 billion CFU for adults.
- North American ginseng (also known as panax quinquefolius) may reduce the risk of developing colds or influenza if taken for three to four months during key times, probably best at winter months. It may also reduce the severity and length of illness if you do get sick. The dose is approximately 200 milligrams twice daily.
- Some data suggest that vitamin C may reduce the incidence of colds, especially in people exposed to extreme stress, physical exertion, or cold weather; their incidence of colds was reduced by 50 percent when they took vitamin C. Vitamin C is considered to be a safe supplement especially if taken in moderate doses, such as 250 to 500 milligrams twice daily.
- Green tea may have antiviral effects; preliminary research suggests that it may help to prevent colds and flu. Drink three to five cups per day.
And if you do get sick, here are a few things that can help to reduce the severity or length of your symptoms:
- Zinc lozenges may also help to stop a cold; they must be started within 24 hours of the onset of symptoms. Look for zinc acetate lozenges that contain 13 to 25 milligrams of zinc per lozenge; other formulations of zinc are not as effective. Dissolve a lozenge in the mouth every two hours until you have consumed at least 75 milligrams total per day; stop after seven to 10 days.
- Elderberry may help to reduce symptoms of the flu by boosting the ability of the immune system to fight off the infection; it is active against both influenza A and B and may even be effective for swine flu. Sambucol by Nature's Way is a standardised extract of elderberry that can shorten the duration of the flu by at least 50 percent and also reduce fever and muscle aches. The dose is 1 tablespoon four times daily for three to five days.
- The herb andrographis may also help to reduce the severity and duration of upper respiratory infections. Kan Jang is the Swedish andographis product that has been studied the most; it is often combined with Siberian ginseng (Eleutherococcus). It needs to be started within 48 hours of symptom onset. The dose is two capsules three times daily for five days.
- Echinacea may help to reduce the length and severity of the common cold, though not all species are effective; Echinacea purpurea is the one that seems to be the best. It should be started at the onset of symptoms and continued for seven to 10 days. Try EchinaGuard by Nature's Way.
- Fresh garlic may help to thwart a cold - eat one raw clove of chopped garlic every hour at the first onset of symptoms. Stop after you've eaten six to eight cloves, or if you get GI distress (or if you start to smell like a garlic factory!).
- Honey is an effective cough suppressor and can also ease a sore throat; take one or two teaspoons, either by itself or in some warm herbal tea. It can also be used safely in children over the age of 1.
- Licorice is recommended by the German Commission E for inflammation of the upper respiratory tract. It fights viruses, helps to loosen secretions, and can soothe a sore throat.
- Chicken soup seems to reduce inflammation, and if you throw in some mushrooms, onions and garlic, you'll be supporting your immune system as well.
Help avoid illness by getting plenty of sleep, reducing your stress levels, working in lots of laughter every day (a great stress reducer), eating a healthful diet, getting moderate exercise, washing your hands frequently or using an alcohol hand sanitizer with at least 60 percent alcohol, and getting a flu shot. Here's to a happy and healthy 2014.

NEW YORK, NY -- (Marketwire) -- 12/07/12 -- After serving in Afghanistan and Iraq, hundreds of thousands of war veterans are looking for work that enables them to succeed in the new economy. Many of these heroes are facing a difficult career environment. Post-9-11 veterans face an unemployment rate of 10 percent [1], higher than the national average.
American Work for American Troops
On the heels of Veterans Day as we commemorate National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day, Article One Partners (AOP), the world's largest patent research community, is offering veterans an opportunity to learn about patents and career opportunities in the intellectual property industry. AOP is an American company that harnesses a global network of more than 26,000 registered researchers to uncover hard-to-find patent intelligence.
Research about patents and technology is in demand across industries, from defense and electronics to consumer sporting goods. Veterans are exposed to advanced technology in the military, and the analytical, intelligence and work skills they develop are unsurpassed. Through AOP, veterans can put the specialized knowledge they developed in the military to new use.
In coming months, AOP will kick off a pilot program for veterans to earn money while learning how to research patents. In particular, AOP will feature several research projects and invite veterans' organizations to participate. AOP will educate veterans to succeed in the six-week program. The veterans will also be trained, and AOP will provide guest speakers, who will share best practices to help along the way.
The goal of the project is to help veterans learn about research in the intellectual property industry and possibly provide a career option. In addition, veterans will be able to expand their knowledge around the tools and challenges of starting a new business venture. AOP will provide valuable insights to help drive the success of future entrepreneurs and their ventures. The entire patent system will benefit from the contributions and exemplary skills of our military.
Rewards for Veterans
Eight percent of AOP's winning researchers earned financial rewards upwards of $60,000 annually in 2011 -- more than the average American salary. The typical reward per study ranges from $3,500 to $10,000. AOP has rewarded its researchers a total of more than $3 million to date.
"As a US-based company, we want to extend our respect and honor to the veterans who are heroes in our society," said Cheryl Milone, CEO and founder of AOP. "As AOP continues to grow, we're excited to welcome more veterans into our community. Seasoned by training and discipline, our veterans will thrive in the knowledge-intensive work environment offered by AOP. They are a true asset to the strong community we have today, which ranges from scientists to stay-at-home parents. The veterans are another basis for the tremendous respect that we already have for all of our community members."
AOP Provides Opportunities in a Growing Industry
Patent litigation is at an all-time high, driven by non-practicing entities (NPEs), sometimes referred to pejoratively as "patent trolls." Thousands of NPE-driven lawsuits target companies like Apple, Samsung and Honeywell every year.
AOP researches patents using crowdsourcing. The AOP crowd researches patents to help companies make key business decisions. The information provided by AOP empowers businesses to continue to innovate and build their patent portfolios. This is why everyone from global brands to cutting-edge startups turns to AOP for their patent research needs. The patent research community, in turn, benefits from an ever-expanding line of work.

*A lawyer for Michael Jackson's doctor told an appellate court on Wednesday that Jackson's contract with AEG Live LLC should have been admitted as evidence in Dr. Conrad Murray's manslaughter trial.
In the last of a series of appellate briefs submitted to the California Second District Court of Appeal , attorney Valerie Wass said jurors did not consider the pressures placed on Jackson by the concert promoter before his death because they didn't see the contract.
The lawyer suggested that Jackson might have self-administered the drugs propofol and lorazepam because of his concern over fulfilling the terms of his contract for 50 performances of the show, "This Is It."
"Admission of the contract or evidence of its terms was necessary to show what was at stake for Jackson if he could not meet his contractual obligations, which was pertinent to establish his state of mind which may have explained his conduct on the day he died, and supported the defense theory of the case," the 24-page brief states.
The defense suggested that Jackson was so concerned about being unable to sleep that he gave himself the drug that caused his death.
However, witnesses at Murray's trial testified it was the doctor who administered the overdose of the anesthetic propofol to the sleep deprived Jackson.
An autopsy found the star died of acute propofol intoxication.
In the same filing, Wass reiterated her previous claim that Superior Court Judge Michael Pastor erred in refusing to sequester the jury.
"The unprecedented fame of Jackson combined with the pervasiveness of media coverage of the case rendered It Impossible for appellant to receive a fair trial with a nonsequestered jury," the filing said.
Wass also faulted the judge for allowing TV cameras at the trial.
Murray was convicted of involuntary manslaughter and is serving a four-year sentence. Wass said he is due for release on Oct. 27.
