The caption on the picture says "suspected of negligent homicide." They are now guilty of negligent homicide. Depraved indifference should have been an added charge or even premeditation since they took him from the hospital still with a catheter inserted. No other outcome than his death could have been expected by any reasonable person. Guess Israel does not use the "reasonable person" test.

O.C. vigils remember those killed in Sikh temple attack
BUENA PARK – More than 400 people from across Orange County gathered Thursday night at a Sikh temple in Buena Park in a show of unity to remember six people killed Sunday at a Sikh temple in Wisconsin.
Sikh leaders from across Orange County organized the prayer service, vigil and community meal at the Guru Nanak Sikh Temple in Buena Park as a way to remember the victims of the attack, as well as a way for Sikhs and non-Sikhs to stand together and to bring about healing.
"We hope to create awareness about who we are," said Arinder Chadha, who helped organize the event. "We pray that it doesn't happen again. But it happened. All we can do is turn it into a positive message for our friends in the community."
A similar event at UCI, organized by the Sikh Student Association of UC Irvine, was expected Thursday evening to draw about 100 people.
A 40-year-old Army veteran with links to the white-supremacist movement entered the Sikh Temple of Wisconsin armed with a 9 mm handgun and opened fire. When the shooting in suburban Milwaukee ended, six people ranging in age from 39 to 84 lay dead. Three others were critically wounded. The suspect, Wade Michael Page, reportedly killed himself killed outside the temple.
More than 200 people attended the Buena Park service, which was followed by a candlelight vigil in front of the temple.
"Evil is something that happens to everybody," said Timothy Kowal of Huntington Beach, a lawyer who sits on the Orange County Human Relations commission. "We want to let minority segments of the community know that when they are confronted with evil, they are not alone."
The event also drew representatives from other faiths.
"This thing that happened should not have happened to anyone. We are all part of the human race," said Aslan Dada, a member of the Islamic Center of Yorba Linda. "We want to let the world know that we all stand together."
Many pointed out that an act like the one in Wisconsin could have happened at any type of house of worship.
"Everyone wants to find a place that is a safe haven, to be one with their thoughts and to be one with their creator," Gurpreet S. Ahuja said. "That is why you see more than just Sikhs here today."
During the service, religious leaders from the Sikh community emphasized their values of "justice, equality and generosity." Orange County Sheriff Sandra Hutchens, along with other speakers, urged the need for unity and to see the killings in Wisconsin as not just a Sikh tragedy but an American tragedy.
"We don't want this event to cause anyone to live in fear. If we live in fear, they have won," Hutchens said. "We stand with you together."

Marriage is between one man and one woman
Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)
5/24/2012 (3 years ago)

MIAMI,FL (Catholic Online) - On Saturday, May 19, 2012, the Board of Directors of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) met in Miami, Florida. They passed a resolution in which they rejected Marriage and declared by Fiat that homosexual acts are now a civil right.
I know that such a blunt assessment of their corporate action will raise the ire of the leadership of homosexual equivalency movement such as the Human Rights Campaign. They immediately championed this move as some breakthrough for their redefined notion of "marriage equality". The phrase is code for the effort to destroy the uniqueness of true marriage by redefining the word.
The Human Rights Campaign calls itself "America's largest civil rights organization working to achieve lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) equality." They are well-funded and committed to a cultural and social revolution. They poured massive amounts of money and human resources into electing the President who has now "evolved" his way out of defending marriage. Along with him they are committed to "remaking America."
They are at the forefront of the "Homosexual Equivalency Movement". Homosexual equivalency activists insist that all Americans MUST recognize a legal equivalency between true marriages and cohabitating practicing homosexuals or they will face legal punitive consequences. The Human Rights Campaign uses the Courts and the legislature to force this new America on all of us. They have the unbridled support of the Executive Branch of the Government. This Administration unilaterally decided not to enforce Federal Law, the Defense of Marriage Act.
The effort to equate how one engages in non-marital sexual acts with a member of the same sex with being a member of a particular race or gender (thereby making practicing homosexuals a "protected class" for civil rights purposes) is legally and socially dangerous. One is a status; the other involves a behavior and a lifestyle. To confine marriage to heterosexual couples is not discriminatory. Homosexual couples cannot bring into existence what marriage intends by its very definition.
The NAACP Resolution is filled with the sophistry and verbal subterfuge influenced by the Homosexual Equivalency Movement:
"The NAACP Constitution affirmatively states our objective to ensure the "political, educational, social and economic equality" of all people. Therefore, the NAACP has opposed and will continue to oppose any national, state, local policy or legislative initiative that seeks to codify discrimination or hatred into the law or to remove the Constitutional rights of LGBT citizens. We support marriage equality consistent with equal protection under the law provided under the Fourteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution. Further, we strongly affirm the religious freedoms of all people as protected by the First Amendment."
The last sentence of the resolution betrays the entire claim. The position officially espoused by the NAACP as an organization now excludes faithful Catholics and other Christians who know that Marriage is ontologically between one man and one woman. The NAACP leaders have aligned themselves with those who seek to compel Catholics and other Christians to violate their religious convictions. So much for the religious freedom the organization purports to affirm.
In his apostolic exhortation on the Eucharist, the Sacrament of Charity, Pope Benedict summarized the duty of Catholics when confronted with the assault on authentic marriage: "Marriage and the family are institutions that must be promoted and defended from every possible misrepresentation of their true nature, since whatever is injurious to them is injurious to society itself."
Those who support marriage as a lifelong committed relationship between one man and one woman are pilloried in the press. No matter where one stands on other issues, if you support marriage - as marriage - you are brushed with all the disparaging terms can be thrown at those who insist that there is any such a thing as objective truth in this age of moral relativism.
In order to help understand what is occurring let me borrow a Property Rights Analogy. It does not come close in terms of the magnitude of the danger we now face because persons and their flourishing are so much more vitally important than the ownership of property. However, it may help to unmask the tactics being used.
We still defend the private ownership of property as a "right" in the United States. Let's say a group among us decides that "private property" should mean that our land also belongs to the neighbors on adjoining land. Why? Because they decided that approach was better and simply changed the definition.
Then, imagine that they decided to enforce that private opinion upon the broader society, insisting that the law recognize their new definition by giving it an equivalent status to the "traditional" notion of private property. They further decide to enforce their new definition with the Police Power of the State.
Next, imagine that the President of the United States decided to no longer defend the right to private property and ordered the Justice Department to no longer defend property ownership. The analogy does not even come close to the seriousness of this assault on marriage and family. Ironically, it may actually apply to private property if this administration continues its class warfare.
The Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith of the Catholic Church addressed efforts to redefine marriage in 2003, "The Church's teaching on marriage and on the complementarity of the sexes reiterates a truth that is evident to right reason and recognized as such by all the major cultures of the world."
"Marriage is not just any relationship between human beings. It was established by the Creator with its own nature, essential properties and purpose. No ideology can erase from the human spirit the certainty that marriage exists solely between a man and a woman, who by mutual personal gift, proper and exclusive to themselves, tend toward the communion of their persons. In this way, they mutually perfect each other, in order to cooperate with God in the procreation and upbringing of new human lives."
Government has long regulated marriage for the common good. For example, the ban on polygamy and age requirements were enforced in order to ensure that there was a mature decision at the basis of the Marriage contract. Heterosexual marriage, procreation, and the nurturing of children form the foundation for family and civil society.
The assault on marriage is led by those who in an Orwellian two step now purport to be defending Marriage. Marriage is not simply a "religious" construct. The Natural Law reveals - and the cross cultural history of civilization affirms - that marriage is between a man and a woman, open to children and intended for life.
Marriage is the foundation for the family which is the privileged place for the formation of virtue and character in children, our future citizens. The family is the first society, first economy, first school, first civilizing and mediating institution and first government.
All other government proceeds from the first government, the marriage bound family. The effort to force giving equal legal status to relationships which are incapable of being marriages and then use the Police Power of the State to enforce this new order is not about civil or equal rights at all. It is all about Cultural Revolution.
Finally, the NAACP has taken a position directly at odds with the majority of many whom the organization claims to represent. Giving voice to this position are heroes such as Dr Alveda King, the founder of King for America and Pastoral Associate for Priests for Life. She told Christian Newswire:
"Neither my great-grandfather an NAACP founder, my grandfather Dr. Martin Luther King, Sr. an NAACP leader, my father Rev. A. D. Williams King, nor my uncle Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. embraced the homosexual agenda that the current NAACP is attempting to label as a civil rights agenda. In the 21st Century, the anti-traditional marriage community is in league with the anti-life community, and together with the NAACP and other sympathizers, they are seeking a world where homosexual marriage and abortion will supposedly set the captives free."
She is joined by other brave men and women who have not lost their moral compass such as Dr. Day Gardner, founder of the National Black Prolife Union who commented that "Many Black people are realizing just how far off the mark the NAACP is with regard to the real issues and the most important problems facing the black community. The NAACP organization was founded by blacks who had an understanding and strong faith in God."
"They were people -- pastors and congregations who knew that the Bible -- which is God's final word -- was indeed very clear on the immorality and wages of homosexuality and abortion. It is appalling that this one time super hero 'civil rights' organization supports the breakdown of traditional marriage and the ruthless killing of our unborn children -- as a civil right."
"In its decision to please the world, the NAACP has turned its back on the things of God, therefore, we must encourage those who know the truth to speak out -- to stand firmly on the solid rock -- to not look to the right or to the left. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. once said: Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter."
The leaders of the NAACP have lost their moral compass. Members of the organization who have not should work, along with others, to ensure that its important work for genuine equality and real civil and human rights not suffer as a result.

Barclays has supported CLS Offshore Limited with a £2 million loan through the Funding for Lending Scheme to purchase their unique quayside fabrication facilities and business premises at Gorleston, Great Yarmouth. In addition to the aforementioned loan, Barclays has also provided various trade finance facilities to support the longer term growth strategies and plans of CLS.
CLS Offshore is an awarding winning total solution provider to the oil, gas, marine and renewable industries. The complete onshore and offshore services include, but are not limited to, surveys, design, fabrication, testing, installation, commissioning, maintenance, repair, asset integrity, modification, decommissioning, recruitment services and complete project management.
Over the past eighteen months, to support long term strategies, CLS Offshore has gone through a period of transition which has included changes at board level, simplifying processes and introducing new divisions such as a Recruitment Service and a dedicated Electrical and Instrumentation team.
Scott McMillan, Managing Director of CLS Offshore, said, "Being able to own our facilities underlines our commitment to the company's growth, and Barclays played a key role in this. During the current year we have been able to reinvest over fifty percent of company profits back into the business, to support our long term growth aims and objectives."
Steve Webb, Relationship Director at Barclays said, "This is a great example of a well managed company thriving in the current climate and investing for future growth. The loan we have supported under the Funding for Lending Scheme also provided the company with a 2% lump sum cash back that enabled the company to plan with confidence going forward. We would be pleased to talk to any businesses who are thinking of investing in their business."
Barclays said it has responsibly increased lending by £7.49 billion since the Funding for Lending Scheme began, supporting businesses and households with access to finance to grow their business, buy a new home or improve their quality of life.

Deer bag limit changes
JACKSON – Mississippi deer hunters will get a more liberal bag limit for deer during the 2014– 2015 deer hunting season.
The new regulations will provide more liberal antlerless opportunity on private lands and will better manage antlerless opportunity on U.S. Forest Service National Forests (USFS). This regulation change is intended to aid in the proper management of Mississippi's deer herd while providing maximum opportunity to hunters without negative impacts to the resource.
On private lands only, the antlerless deer bag limit has changed to five antlerless deer per year with no daily limit. However, the antlerless deer bag limit on USFS has been reduced to three antlerless deer per year with a daily limit of one.
These bag limit changes are intended to offer more flexibility to hunters managing abundant deer herds on private lands and reduce antlerless deer harvest on USFS where lower deer densities may occur.
If hunting on Wildlife Management Areas (WMAs) or National Wildlife Refuges (NWRs), hunters need to read WMA and NWR-specific regulations as bag limits may differ among these public areas.
For more information regarding deer or deer hunting opportunities in Mississippi, visit www.mdwfp.com/deer or call (601) 432-2199.

A prisoner who escaped from Otago Corrections Facility last week remains at large, police say.
Stephen Uriah Maddren, 25, was reported missing from the prison on Tuesday afternoon, when he escaped from his escort while being transferred for a court appearance.
Yesterday afternoon, Dunedin police confirmed Maddren was still on the loose, despite the prisoner being spotted in a dense forestry block near Milton earlier in the week.
Maddren is described as European, 1.71 metres tall with mullet-type brown or black shoulder-length hair and no teeth.
He was last seen wearing green track pants and a green top.
It is believed Maddren is the first prisoner to escape from the low to high-medium security facility since it was opened in 2007. The prison holds up to 485 male prisoners.

Here's the question you clicked on:
how do you simplify the fraction 14840/45581
divide both numbers 5
but 5 is not a multiple of 45581
You can't simplify this at all.
so what is?
I tried finding common multiples for each other, but there's none
It's already simplified to least. so it'll just remain the same
I think that was just a question to trick you ;P

We return with TSR's 1984 venture into superhero gaming, Marvel Super Heroes, and the second part of our dissection of the Gamer's Handbook of the Marvel Universe: Abomination thru Dreadnought. This is the first of four books that are the closest thing to Monster Manuals that the Marvel Super Heroes line produced. They contain a catalog of villains and allies, great and small, sure to make you say, "WTF!?"
Steve: Can we take a minute before we start to savor this cover some more?
Zack: Try focusing on a point past the picture. Eventually an even cooler 3D skull is going to appear.
Steve: Those were the fun days to be a super hero. When you could lay some haymakers on henchmen without worrying about their families or their backstories. It could just boil down to whether or not they had a golden tentacle skull symbol or a nazi swastika symbol or something.
Zack: I know exactly what you mean. It used to be black and white, now you can't even fire your heat ray gauntlets at a mosque without worrying about the Hague and Wikileaks.
Zack: I have seen interviews with that Wikileaks dude and I promise you he knows how to use a hologram machine to talk to a skull Nazi with a secret base in Argentina.
Steve: Our super villains today are lame. Who is the scariest guy in the world? Osama Bin Laden? His super power is you can't find him and he releases videotapes.
Zack: Tony Hayward can ruin oyster fisheries and close tourist beaches while he watches yacht races.
Steve: That Van Der Sloot guy defeated a total of two people and they were teenage girls and then he was outsmarted and arrested by some cops in South America. That's almost as bad as being defeated by Alpha Flight.Zack: Rod Blagojevich's only henchman is his wife, Patti, and he got in trouble for trying to get her a job.
Steve: At least that dude looks like a super villain. Face it. We have a shortage of cool super villains.
Zack: Maybe so, but we have a whole bunch of lame super villains to review, so let's get to it!
This is your typical consumer model throne. If you just want a cheap prop, it's fine. If you want to actually sit like a king, pony up the cash and get yourself a prosumer model. This entry level stuff is more for a duke or baron at best.

Nationwide ID reform backed by Emerson
A bill aimed at making personal identification more uniform across the country has some worried about privacy infringement.
The so-called Real ID Act, already passed by the U.S. House of Representatives, is being touted by some as a means to tighten security and reduce the number of illegal aliens. Others call it an overdramatic move that could lead to a police state.
The bill, whose chief sponsor is Rep. F. James Sensenbrenner, R-Wis., would prohibit federal agencies from accepting state-issued driver's licenses or identification cards unless they are determined by the Homeland Security Department to meet minimum security requirements.
Republican Congresswoman Jo Ann Emerson of Cape Girardeau said the requirements will help deter the number of illegal aliens that enter the country.
Because driver's licenses in some states are fairly easy to counterfeit, Emerson said the measure is necessary to force states to use anticounterfeit technology for their ID practices.
"People are using these fake IDs to get on welfare, to get on airplanes, you name it," Emerson said. "We have to use every tool that exists to keep the illegal aliens out of the country."
The bill would require that, to receive a valid ID, applicants would have to verify that they are legal residents of the United States. Temporary driver's licenses or ID cards would be issued to people only during their period of authorized stay.
The bill would require states, as a condition of receiving grant funds or other financial assistance related to the bill, to share ID data with other states.
The bill would require states to use digital photographs, but Emerson said other specifics have not been hashed out yet.
Some people have suggested including a variety of information on the machine-readable cards, including organizations people belong to or stances they have taken on issues such as abortion or firearms.
The ACLU is opposed to the measure. It says the act will make it tougher for legal immigrants who are fleeing to the United States because of abuse in their homelands.
The ACLU, in a letter submitted to Congress, said the bill would require written corroboration, such as police reports or other documents, for asylum claims. The ACLU argues that immigrants trying to escape abuse by another government would lack official documents backing up the claims.
The bill would also beef up the border patrol and expedite the construction of a 1 1/2-mile wall south of San Diego, where illegal immigrants are known to sneak into the country.

Financial Tables: Currency Table
Now, let's take a look at a currency table:
Row 1 & Column 1: Currency Name (or symbol)
If you are reading this table the values are in the following context:
$1 in currency of row #1, is worth $___ in column #1 dollars.
For example, 1 euro is worth $1.3926 in Canadian dollars. If you were in Canada and you wanted to exchange your 1 euro for Canadian dollars, you would get $1.3926 in return. On the other side of the equation, if you had $1 Canadian and you wanted to convert it to euros, you would get 0.7181 in return. Both of these numbers are circled in red on the table.
It is also important to note that 1/1.3926 = 0.7181. If you only have the currency rate for one direction, then all you need to do is divide one by that number to find the value in the other country's currency.

We expose slave masters and people smugglers in suburban Britain.
A journalist pays the ultimate price in Syria
25 Oct 2012 19:32 GMT | Europe, Pakistan, United Kingdom
The father of a 15-year-old Pakistani activist girl who was shot and wounded by a Taliban gunman has vowed she will return home after finishing medical treatment in Britain despite new insurgent threats against her.Ziauddin Yousufzai made the comments as he arrived in the United Kingdom to see her daughter Malala who is being treated in a Birmingham hospital.Malala, shot for advocating girls' education in her native Swat Valley, was airlifted to Britain on October 15 for specialist treatment from the Pakistani city of Rawalpindi where she was being treated but remained in critical condition.Yousufzai's comments were recorded by Pakistani state television and it was the first time he had spoken publicly since the shooting.
"I first laughed at it because all of our sacrifices, my personal [sacrifices], or this attack on my daughter, cannot have such a cheap purpose that we would go to some other country and live the rest of our life there," Yousafzai said, speaking in Urdu.
Since she was shot on October 9, Malala has become a hero both at home and internationally, although her work in speaking out against Taliban atrocities has long been respected and known beyond her home town.Blog for BBC
At the age of 11, Malala began writing a blog under a pseudonym for the BBC about life under the Taliban in Swat. After the military ousted Taliban fighters in 2009, she began publicly speaking out about the need for girls' education.
She appeared frequently in the media and was given one of the country's highest civilian honours for her bravery.
A Taliban gunman shot her in the neck and head as she was on a school bus on her way home from school in Swat's city of Mingora. Two other girls were injured in the attack.
The Taliban have vowed to kill her, raising questions about whether it would be safe for her to return but her father dispelled reports the family might seek asylum abroad.
The Taliban said they targeted Malala because she promotes "Western thinking", and have vowed to finish the job in the future.
Malala's father spoke alongside Interior Minister Rehman Malik at the minister's Islamabad office. Malik promised that the government would protect Malala and her family when they return.
Malik said Malala had asked her father to bring some of her school books with him on his way to Britain.
"Even while sitting there she is taking care of her schooling," said Malik.Responding to treatment
Malala has started talking and has spoken to her parents by phone, the interior minister said.
The teenage activist is being treated at Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham in central England, which has a major trauma centre specialising in treating severe gunshot wounds, major head injuries and road accident victims.
It is also home to the Royal Centre for Defence Medicine, the primary receiving unit for military casualties returning from overseas.
The medical team treating Malala said in a statement on Thursday that she was comfortable and continued to respond well to treatment.
Last Friday, the hospital released the first photographs of Malala since the shooting showing her lying in her hospital bed and said she was able to stand with help and write.
