Here our reporters address some of the most pressing issues: By Matina Stevis and Joe Parkinson Q: What actions does Cyprus need to take to enforce the capital controls adopted with last week's legislation? A: The Cypriot parliament passed enabling legislation last week, giving the central-bank governor and the finance minister the power to take measures to stem capital outflows. The legislation is quite generic and allows the country's top finance and monetary officials to impose measures ranging from daily ATM withdrawals to freezing domestic interbank lending, suspending direct-debit orders and converting checking accounts into time deposits. The law allows the finance minister or, when relevant, the central-bank governor, to "take whichever restrictive measure consider necessary under the circumstances, for reasons of public order and/or public security." A decree enacting this bill and laying out the specific details of the capital controls is yet to be issued. Q: What capital controls are already being enforced (e.g. border checks, ATM limits) A: Customs officials said border guards at the counrtry's air and sea ports have been instructed to check baggage and monitor whether travelers are taking more than EUR10,000 (about $13,000) out of the country. Any amount above that EUR10,000 threshold can be confiscated. Daily ATM limits vary: at Popular Bank of Cyprus (Laiki), cash-machine withdrawals have been capped at EUR100 euros; at Bank of Cyprus, the limit is EUR120. Other ATMs are operating normally. Q: Can people bypass controls and ATM withdrawal limits by crossing over to Northern Cyprus? A: At present, border guards at the main pedestrian crossing point on Ledra Street aren't searching people unless they have intelligence indicating that someone is carrying a large amount of cash. That could change. Q: How are the ATM limits and bank closures affecting businesses, such as hotels? A: Many businesses are struggling to understand how the capital-control measures will affect their day-to-day operations, such as their access to cash, meeting payroll and other obligations, as well as the longer-term impact of the financial crisis on their businesses. "In two-three days we need to pay our employees. Will we be able to do that? What happens with the workers who get paid via Laiki?" asks Michalis Pilikos, the president OEB, Cyprus's national business association. "For many this will be a major wound, we'll see immediate mass layoffs and closures." In the meantime, many small businesses are refusing to accept credit-card transactions of electronic transfers out of uncertainty over when banks will reopen and concern they may not be able to recoup the funds. Some larger businesses, like Nicosia's Hilton Hotel, still accept credit cards but not bank transfers. Q: When are banks likely to reopen? What will happen when banks reopen? Will even small depositors have access to their deposits? A: On Monday, March 25, banks were officially closed for a national holiday in commemoration of Greece's Independence Day. They have been closed since March 16. Bank of Cyprus and Cyprus Popular Bank will reopen Friday, the Central Bank of Cyprus said. Other banks were expected to open Tuesday at 8:00 a.m. Officials are expected to have the capital-control measures in place before the banks reopen. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=41d_1364253086 thinkslaughter Cyprus Border Guards Seizing Cash From Travelers... eu, europe, seizing, cash, from, travelers, get, your, cash, out, of, banks, now, europeans Sat, 23 Mar 2013 20:40:46 -0400 http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=ef3_1364085434 thinkslaughter W5 Investigation: Canadian pedophiles travel abroad for child sex W5: Twisted Travellers, part one Children in Cuba are being pimped out to Canadian sex tourists. W5's Victor Malarek investigates a sinister trade catering to pedophiles. W5: Twisted Travellers, part two W5's Victor Malarek takes a look at the gaps in the system that allow sex offenders to travel abroad to commit crimes. ublished Friday, Mar. 15, 2013 10:00PM EDT Last Updated Saturday, Mar. 16, 2013 11:04PM EDT So often when Canadians think of Cuba, they think of cheap holidays: sand, sun and lying on the beach. But over the past decade, this island winter getaway has gained a more sinister reputation. Today, a growing number of tourists, almost always older men, are winging to Cuba for one thing - sex. But far more disturbing is that some of them are looking for sex with children. W5 joined with the Toronto Star and the Miami Herald and discovered that, although Canada has a national sex offender registry, it is doing next to nothing to stop pedophiles from travelling to poor countries where they commit horrendous sexual acts with children as young as five, six and seven. James McTurk of Ontario was charged with nine sex tourism offences. While Canada has a law that was passed in 1997 that treats a sex crime committed abroad as if it happened here, our investigation found that the arrests and convictions for sex tourists targeting children are rare and that these twisted travellers almost always get away with it. Mark Hecht, a lawyer with the child advocacy organization, Beyond Borders, told W5 that the authorities in many of the countries where Canadian pedophiles travel are "either uninterested, are under resourced or in some cases they're simply corrupt." "So, it relies on us to be able to catch the Canadian doing this abroad and that has proven very difficult to do," he pointed out. Difficult, but not impossible. Recently the Toronto police arrested a 78-year-old man after he returned from Cuba with disturbing photographs of him allegedly engaging in sex acts with children. James McTurk has been charged with nine sex tourism offences, including making child pornography and sexual interference. But what is particularly disturbing in this case is that McTurk had pleaded guilty in 1995 to possession of child pornography, and again in 1998 after police found videotapes of him allegedly engaging in sex acts with young girls. According to police, all images were shot in Cuba. In the first case, he was given a conditional discharge and put on probation for 18 months. The second time, McTurk was sentenced to an 18-month conditional sentence and 18 months on probation. In this latest arrest, Toronto police learned that McTurk, who is on the National Sex Offender Registry, has traveled to Cuba 31 times between 2008 and 2012. An employee at a supermarket photo lab called police when he saw photos that had been brought in to be processed. "The allegation is that there's photographs of young children and in those photographs were included the accused as well," said Det. Sgt. Kim Gross, who heads the Toronto Police Child Exploitation Section. "There's a helplessness of the faces of these children that is very striking." However, McTurk could have come to the attention of police in Canada much earlier if the Canada Border Service Agency had had access to the Sex Offender Registry. It doesn't, because the RCMP, which administers the registry, does not consider the CBSA to be a police force. Yet the CBSA is responsible for controlling who comes in and out of Canada. "We just have to link our systems. So, for example, what's going on with the passport office should be linked with what's going with the sex offender registry, which should also be linked to other legislation," argued Hecht. A confidential RCMP document , obtained by the Toronto Star under an access-to-information request reveals the scope of the problem. Cuba is in the top four child sex destinations for Canadians in the Americas. The others are Mexico, Brazil and the Dominican Republic. The report estimates that there are two million children worldwide who are involved in the illicit sex industry. According to the RCMP, the most common occupations for offenders include teachers, clergy and those in IT-related jobs. Meanwhile, the Harper Government, which boasts that it is cracking down on crime, insists that big changes are coming that will close the gaping loopholes in the system that allows pedophiles to slip through. W5's repeated requests for an on-camera interview with Public Safety Minister Vic Toews were refused. However, in a telephone interview with the Toronto Star he said: "Given ... the close communication individuals involved with this activity have around the globe, Canada has a greater responsibility to engage in stemming the problem." Conservative backbench MP Joy Smith, who has been fighting for tougher laws against sex offenders since she was first elected to Parliament in 2004, told W5's Victor Malarek that "as we speak, our government is putting in the cross border, the entry and the exit border with all the checks and balances. You'll hear about it very, very soon." W5 joined the Toronto Star and the Miami Herald / El Nuevo Herald to report Twisted Travellers. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=ef3_1364085434 thinkslaughter Ugly Canadians: The Prolific Child Sex Pedophile Canadian Tourists.

Canadians - are drawn by something far darker. Published on Sat Mar 16 2013 Set against a backdrop of gutted buildings and faded hope, Michael is all smiles. He's fiftysomething, sports a greying moustache last in fashion in the '70s, and stares out from beneath a ball cap emblazoned with a red maple leaf. Sauntering into a downtown Havana bar, his left arm wound tightly around the waist of an attractive young Cuban woman, he's in his element. She, meanwhile, is working. The Vancouver Island native flashes a grin at two European mates who, like him, have come to regard Havana as a second home. The bartender welcomes him like an old friend. Everyone here, as the song goes, knows his name. "There's a lot worse places to be," Michael says, in a toast to shared good fortune. "This is the promised land." Photos View gallery zoom Michael is on the inside of a well-kept secret. Canadians are travelling to Cuba in surprising numbers to sexually exploit young people trapped in this socialist country's underground sex tourism industry, a joint investigation by the Toronto Star and El Nuevo Herald, the Spanish-language sister publication of the Miami Herald, has found. Havana's conspicuous scenes of street-level prostitution are the public face of a hidden, sordid trade in children as young as four. Many prostituted children in Cuba are second- or third-generation, following in the footsteps of sex-worker mothers to earn money for families complicit in their exploitation. ". . . it's the illusion that you can get ahead if you prostitute yourself . . . the illusion of leaving the country, the illusion of a visa." Ivan Garcia Cuban authorities deny the problem. And Canada's lax oversight suggests any self-proclaimed moral obligation to protect children from abuse stops at our own borders. Convicted Canadian sex offenders face little scrutiny leaving the country, little prospect of having foreign authorities warned of their arrival and little chance of being flagged by border authorities upon arrival back in Canada. Canadian border authorities have no access to the country's sex offender registry and limited access to Canada's criminal record database. Related Part 1: Toronto sex offender could be first Canadian convicted of child sex tourism in Cuba Cuba's most horrifying episode of child sex tourism resulted in a girl's death More on this series In an exclusive interview with the Star, Public Safety Minister Vic Toews acknowledged shortcomings, saying the travel of convicted sex offenders is "one of the very significant issues that does need to be addressed" through better monitoring. "Are there additional steps I would like to see taken?" he said. "Absolutely. Am I encouraging the government to move in that direction? Absolutely." Canadian men, generally between 40 and 60 years of age, are among the most numerous sexual predators in Cuba, according to internal government reports, international experts, diplomatic cables and on-the-ground interviews. The RCMP, in a confidential 2011 report on child sex tourism obtained by the Star through access-to-information requests, lists Cuba as a top destination in the Americas for Canadian sex tourists. "The issue of Canadian travelling child sex offenders is likely greater than previously thought," the report concludes. And one of the key drivers behind any flourishing child prostitution market is "an established and active sex trade." Cuba easily meets that definition. For sex tourists, the island holds unique allure. It's closer and cheaper than destinations such Thailand and Cambodia. HIV rates are dramatically lower than in most countries. And a trip to Cuba for single male tourists is free from the social stigma associated with Phuket or Phnom Penh. Furtive negotiations with pimps, cabbies and staff at high-end Cuban hotels can easily procure meetings with young boys or girls, according to undercover conversations with Cuban insiders and hotel security staff last month. "That's prohibited here in the hotel," a security head at one of Havana's large hotels told a reporter posing as sex tourist. That's because young Cuban girls appearing at the city's high-end hotels in the company of men are instantly flagged by security staff, who often demand payment to allow their entry. But he carefully described the process for accessing underage girls. "The young girls aren't on the street. They're in houses waiting for the call from pimps." The secure - and surreptitious - environment for meeting them is a private lodging called a casa particular , where tourists can rent rooms for about $10 a night. "They don't care what you're doing there," said one hotel security guard. "Whatever you want. Orgies, anything." That advice mirrors the findings of the 2011 RCMP report, which says child sex "facilitators," including "taxi drivers and/or hotel staff, can sometimes be used to arrange discreet meetings with potential child victims." A Cuban casa particular provides a safe zone where child sex offenders "access children and locals who are willing to facilitate crimes against children in return for financial compensation," says the report, titled Canadian Travelling Child Sex Offenders. "Poor or dysfunctional families may be particularly willing to open their doors to foreigners with the hope of reaping some financial benefits or so they can receive food or material items. Offenders can, and often do, capitalize on this vulnerability to gain sexual access to child victims." U.S. diplomats documented the same money-for-child-sex system operating with the knowledge and permission of families in a 2009 cable to Washington. "Some Cuban children are reportedly pushed into prostitution by their families, exchanging sex for money, food or gifts," it reads. The cost of forbidden youth is startlingly cheap: as little as $30 for the night. Manuel, a lean, 30-something lawyer from Mexico City, is flanked by two scantily clad young prostitutes outside a Varadero hotel as he proudly whispers to an undercover reporter in English: "I got them both for $40. We're going back to (a casa particular ) in Havana. Do you want to stay with us in our house with girls? Come with me. There's so many!" Exploitation thrives where poverty exists, and in that respect, Cuba is no different from Cambodia or Thailand. Ivan Garcia, a dissident blogger and journalist in Havana, says the young girls and boys in the trade are typically poor, hopeless and desperate: "For these people, 'future' is a bad word." Parents who usher their children into the sex trade are motivated by something much bigger than money, he says. The real goal, he says, is the hope of securing marriage to a wealthy foreigner. He knows two 12-year-old girls currently working the streets. "They see that this girl married some Italian and now she's dressing nice, fixing up her mother's house - it's the illusion that you can get ahead if you prostitute yourself . . . the illusion of leaving the country, the illusion of a visa." That illusion most often ends in exploitation and tragedy. In 2011, three Italian men were sentenced to between 20 and 25 years in prison for murder and corruption of minors after the body of a 12-year-old girl was dumped in Bayamo, a city in eastern Cuba. The girl - Lilian Ramirez - was a 12-year-old prostitute the men hired for a party along with two 13-year-olds and a 14-year-old, says Laritza Diversent, a dissident Cuban lawyer who worked on the case. The government handles such cases "with a lot of care and closed trials," says Diversent. Diversent considers child prostitution in Cuba "a serious matter because of what I see every day on the street - very young girls and boys with much older foreigners." In her own Havana neighbourhood growing up, she recalls, she had a nine-year-old friend who "was groped lasciviously" by adult men for cash. "There's a moment when they dedicate themselves to prostitution and there's somebody who uses them, usually someone from their own neighbourhood." Prostitutes under 16 can be charged with "pre-criminal dangerousness" and be sent to youth interment camps But foreigners caught with prostitutes older than 16 rarely face arrest, she says. And it's alleged that police accept bribes from prostitutes and pimps to look the other way. The Canadian government keeps secret how many Canadians have been prosecuted in Cuba for sex crimes. Concern for the privacy of the Canadians charged or convicted in the Cuban sex trade is the government's stated rationale. So few have been prosecuted for the crime that releasing even aggregate figures could identify them, the government says. But there's no question that some Canadians have been prosecuted for exploiting young Cubans. "A number of tourists, including Canadians, have been convicted of offences related to the corruption of minors," the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade notes on its website about Cuba. And a study on Cuban sex tourism by the global monitoring group End Child Prostitution, Child Pornography and Trafficking of Children for Sexual Purposes (ECPAT) found "much of the literature points to Canadians as being high on the list of offenders." In 2003, ECPAT reported that a 53-year-old Canadian man had been sentenced to 10 years in prison for sexually abusing a 13-year-old girl. Another Canadian man was sentenced to 25 years in prison for the sexual abuse of a 15-year-old. James Cason, the top American diplomat in Havana between 2002 and 2005, says Canadians are among the most enthusiastic customers of the Cuban child sex trade. "The ones pouring in were Canadians and Europeans, and that's where I saw the problem (of child prostitution)," Cason said in an interview. While Cuban government action against sex tourists appears to be rare, U.S. cables, released by the activist group WikiLeaks, suggest vigorous punitive actions are taken against victims of the country's underage sex trade. "Police occasionally rounded up women and children in Cuba's sex trade and charged them with vague crimes," reads one 2009 cable. "Adolescents found in prostitution were sent to either juvenile detention facilities or work camps emphasizing politicized rehabilitation." The "Recommendations for Cuba" detailed in the same memo reads: "Acknowledge that child sex trafficking in Cuba is a problem; provide greater legal protections and assistance for victims; develop procedures to identify possible trafficking victims among vulnerable populations; increase anti-trafficking training for law enforcement; and, take greater steps to prevent the trafficking of children in prostitution." That advice has most certainly fallen on deaf ears inside the Cuban government. A request by the Star for an interview with the Cuban Embassy in Ottawa was ignored. Led today by Fidel Castro's younger brother Raul, Cuba continues to officially deny that sexual predators are among the sun seekers and families pouring into the country. The numbers of arrests and prosecutions for child exploitation are tightly protected, and Cuba restricts the presence of international and domestic NGOs. Official denial reaches beyond mere marketing. It is an expression of deeply felt revolutionary pride. Fidel Castro cracked down on prostitution after the 1959 revolution and boasted his country would no longer be the American brothel. "There are no women forced to sell themselves to a man, to a foreigner, to a tourist," he said in 1992. "Those who do so do it on their own, voluntarily, and without any need for it. We can say that they are highly educated hookers and quite healthy, because we are the country with the lowest numbers of AIDS cases . . . Therefore, there is truly no prostitution healthier than Cuba's." The sex marketplace in Cuba's cities and resorts began to emerge after the Soviet Union's collapse meant billions of dollars in annual subsidies from Moscow dried up. Today, the influx of foreign money may well make prostitution among the most profitable jobs in a country where the average monthly salary officially stands at less than $20. Cuba's well-educated sex workers include a young woman who calls herself Chachi. Cherubic and young, her face is devoid of anything that suggests the broken life that brings her to Havana's main prostitution strip - the seaside Malecon boulevard - at midnight. She was born and raised in a neighbouring province and attended university for two years, studying to become a veterinarian. Then she became pregnant. Now, with a three-year-old boy to look after, Chachi rents a Havana apartment for a month at a time, spending her days and evenings with male tourists like Michael. "I can cook, I can do dishes, I can clean the house," she says through an interpreter. "I can do whatever you want." Over a beer, she opens up about her humiliation having to walk the streets and the reasons she does it. "He is beautiful," she says of her little boy, who remains living with her mother in her hometown. "I am here for him. I wait for money from tourists so I can send it to him and my mother." The U.S. State Department consistently classifies Cuba as a "Tier 3" country - the worst in its rankings - when it comes to combating sex trafficking. "Cuba is a source country for adults and children subjected to sex trafficking and forced labour," the State Department warns in the 2012 edition of its annual review of global human trafficking. "The country's laws do not appear to penalize prostitution of children between the ages of 16 and 18." The report concludes that the Cuban government has made "no known efforts to reduce the demand for commercial sex." Teresa C. Ulloa Ziaurriz, Mexico-based director of the Coalition Against Trafficking in Women in Latin America, says the problem of exploitative predators from Canada and Europe is likely to grow as Cuba opens its doors to ever more tourism. "All the Caribbean islands are really a paradise for child sex tourism," she says. "We call sex tourism inverse trafficking - instead of taking the victims out of the country . . . the demand travels to where the supply is. "Why are they coming to Latin America and the Caribbean to buy sex from those who are in more vulnerable situation? This is the merchandisation of the bodies of women and girls." Back in Havana, Michael certainly appears to be having a marvellous trip. Ask him about the city's surprisingly open prostitution industry and he'll launch into an X-rated Frommer's guide to the most promising marketplaces for women in the city. "If you go to places like the (club) Cecilia, then you're going to see top-of-the-line girls, but they're going to be charging top-of-the-line prices," he notes. "I prefer places like the Hotel Deauville where they're accessible . . . Whores galore." The retired British Columbian spends up to six months a year in Havana, a place he's been visiting for two decades. "It's hard not to be inspired by this," he says as he directs his eyes to the young prostitute accompanying him this night. "And that," he adds, his eyes visually pointing to one of several other young prostitutes in the bar with whom he shares warm banter and familiarity. With more time on his hands, his travels have been expanding of late to a more well-known sex tourism destination - Cambodia. "The Cambodian people just impress the f--- out of me," he says. "They're extremely nice. And you can get a really f------ sexy woman. The sex is great. The beach is fantastic. The food, because it's got the French influence in it." His travelogue complete, Michael smiles once more and extends his hand: "We're all Canadians."

An Iranian F-4 Phantom fighter jet closed in on an Air Force MQ-1 Predator aerial drone and its fighter escort during "a routine classified surveillance flight" above international waters in the Persian Gulf, Pentagon press secretary George Little said in a statement Thursday. Initial DOD reports said the Iranian fighter continued its pursuit of the drone until one of the Predator's escort fighters fired a flare "as a warning to the Iranian plane," forcing the fighter to break off its pursuit.Little later said that the Iranian jet broke off its pursuit of the Predator and its escorts after U.S. personnel issued a "verbal warning" to the fighter. This was the second time in recent months Iranian fighter jets have engaged American drones operating in the Mideast. Last November, Iranian fighter jets opened fire on an American surveillance drone during an intelligence-gathering operation near the country. The U.S. aircraft did return to base unharmed, DOD said at the time. The closest the Iranian Phantom got to the Air Force drone and its escort team during Tuesday's incident was 16 miles, Little noted on Thursday. At no time during the incident did the U.S. aircraft cross into Iranian airspace, with the entire incident taking place over international waters, he added. Iran's nuclear ambitions have only raised the stakes in the increasingly tense situation in the Persian Gulf. On Thursday, President Obama sought to defuse those tensions ahead of his upcoming trip to Israel, which has suggested military action against Iran's nuclear facilities. In an interview with Israel's Channel 2 TV that aired Thursday, Obama reiterated that a nuclear Iran is a "red line" for the administration, and said all options were on the table to stop Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon. "Right now, we think it would take over a year or so for Iran to actually develop a nuclear weapon, but obviously we don't want to cut it too close," Obama said, according to The Associated Press. Tehran has claimed its nuclear enrichment work was driven by strictly peaceful purposes, while the U.S., Israel and others argue Iran's ongoing nuclear work is putting the country on the path to acquiring a nuclear weapon. The Obama administration is pursuing a strategy of severe economic and political sanctions to disrupt Iran's nuclear program. However, the White House has been steadfast in its claims that all options, including military action, remain on the table. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=6dd_1363309047 thinkslaughter Iranian Fighter Pilot Targets US Drone over International Air Space But Runs Like A Cowardly Rat When US Fighters Show Up..LOL!! iran, runs, away, scared, cowardly, rats, scurry, from, US, drone, iran, fail Tue, 12 Mar 2013 21:04:02 -0400 http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=eba_1363136483 thinkslaughter This is what happened when Iranian fighter Kamal Shalorus, the 'prince of persia' lol, went up against a REAL fighter and not the rookies he was used to getting in the ring with.

Like 'a Lance Armstrong performance,' Canadian hospitals' mortality rates may be too good to be true: study http://news.nationalpost.com/2012/11/13/canadian-hospitals-may-be-manipulating-death-rates-new-study-suggests/ Republish Reprint Tom Blackwell 12/11/13 Last Updated: 12/11/13 11:06 AM ET More from Tom Blackwell @tomblackwellNP FotoliaCanadian hospitals may have reduced their death rates somewhat, but "gaming" of the numbers is likely a factor, too, says a newly published study. It was a rare bit of good news about Canada's health-care system: In the few short years since a federal agency began publishing hospital death rates, the mortality numbers had decreased significantly. A new study, however, concludes that at least some of that improvement was achieved not by better caring for patients, but by manipulating internal statistics. The research documented a "dramatic" rise in the number of patients coded by hospitals as palliative - and therefore removed from the publicly released mortality statistics - suggesting an attempt to game the system and artificially shrink the facilities' death rates. The performance is a Lance Armstrong performance - it's a bit hard to believe "Just on the surface, if you looked at some hospitals, the performance is a Lance Armstrong performance - it's a bit hard to believe," said Dr. Christopher Chong, an internal-medicine specialist at Lakeridge Health in Oshawa, Ont., who led the study. "Mortality is something that is really difficult to actually affect very quickly.... You might want to believe these numbers are true, but they're just a bit too dramatic and too good." In a paper just published in the journal BMJOpen, Dr. Chong, also affiliated with Queen's University, and his co-authors acknowledged that hospitals could have reduced their death rates somewhat, and that new guidelines for coding palliative-care patients explain some of the increase in those cases. But they argue "gaming" of the numbers is likely a factor, too. Joe Raedle / Getty ImagesThe most recent Canadian hospital mortality rates, released last December, indicated there had been a significant decrease in the mortality number since 2004 for 53% of the acute-care hospitals surveyed, while almost none had higher rates. Patients are coded as palliative-care - generally meaning their disease is terminal - either during their hospital stay or on discharge. Those cases are not included in mortality statistics, the assumption being the hospital could not have prevented their deaths. If gaming occurred, it is possible that hospitals deliberately included some patients as palliative who simply did not fit the definition, said Dr. Chong. Or they could have altered their coding practices after the mortality project started to reflect more accurately the number of palliative cases. Even changing for that reason, however, would skew the death ratio, which is meant to be tracked over time. But the umbrella group for many of the country's hospitals said Monday it is highly unlikely any of its members had tried to manipulate the figures. Deciding when a patient is palliative is subjective, but coding officials take their work seriously and follow national guidelines, said a spokesperson for the Ontario Hospital Association. The OHA finds it incredibly hard to believe that any hospital would deliberately abuse the reporting system "The OHA finds it incredibly hard to believe that any hospital would deliberately abuse the reporting system in order to distort their measure," said the spokesperson, who asked not to be named. "Hospitals are taking great strides and making real efforts in improving patient safety and that is having a positive effect." The Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI), which produces the figures, does data quality checks every year that include monitoring palliative-care coding, and remains convinced the rate of hospital deaths is truly falling, said Joanna Fillion, a spokeswoman for the agency. Sholom Glouberman, head of the Canadian Patient Association, said he was not -surprised by the study's findings, but suggested the rise in palliative-care numbers may partly reflect the fact hospitals are focusing more on the needs of such patients. Developed in the U.K. in the 1990s, the awkwardly named "hospital standardized mortality ratios" (HSMR) compares deaths at each given hospital with a national average, with 100 being the baseline. A ratio of 100 suggests no difference from the Canadian average in 2004-05, while below or above indicates death rates higher or lower than the national mean. Getty Images / ThinkstockThe average rate of patients coded as "palliative" - generally meaning their disease is terminal and the hospital could not have saved them - soared almost 50% between 2004 and 2010, the study found. The idea is to prod hospitals to change care and lessen the likelihood of patients dying. The first release of figures by the Canadian Institute for Health Information came in 2007, after the project was announced. The most recent results were released last December, indicating there had been a significant decrease in the mortality number since 2004 for 53% of the acute-care hospitals surveyed, while almost none had higher rates. "This continues to be a good news story," Kira Leeb, a CHI spokeswoman, told Postmedia News at the time. "It shows a lot of progress." Dr. Chong, a Queen's faculty member, and colleagues at the University of Toronto found that the average mortality ratio fell from 99.6 in April 2004 to 91.06 in March 2010, with most of the decrease coming after the public release of death figures started. Over the same period, the average rate of patients coded as palliative care soared almost 50%, they found. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=11d_1362355438 thinkslaughter Canadian Government Health Care Manipulating Death Rates To Show More Favorable Numbers... canada, mortality, death, rate, lies, of, socialist, slave, countries, sheep, national, health, care, scam, lies, deception, control, taxes Sat, 02 Mar 2013 20:41:27 -0500 http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=628_1362274652 thinkslaughter Obama issues 17 pardonshttp://www.politico.com/politico44/2013/03/obama-issues-pardons-158268.html?hp=r3 By DONOVAN SLACK 3/1/13 4:53 PM EST President Obama on Friday granted pardons to 17 people who had been convicted on a range of charges, from theft to conspiracy to traffic counterfeit goods.

During an investigation into the alleged rape by her stepfather, the girl eventually told police that she had consensual sex with a second man, Sky News reports. Sex outside marriage is illegal in the Maldives, which operates under Islamic law. Amnesty International said the punishment was "cruel, degrading and inhumane," while the Maldivian government didn't agree with the sentencing and is considering changing the law, the BBC reports. In addition to the rape, the girl's stepfather is accused of killing and burying a baby conceived from it. He faces 25 years in prison if convicted. Court officials say the girl will be lashed when she turns 18, and she was also placed under eight months of house arrest, Sky News reports. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=2c7_1362105021 thinkslaughter Maldives:15 year old rape victim to get 100 lashes for premarital sex... maldives, rape, victim, whipped, for, premarital, sex
