Did Anna Nicole Smith's son die due to medical negligence? A hospital employee told reporters at the Nassau Guardian that 20-year-old Daniel Wayne Smith passed away after the medical staff at Doctor's Hospital in Nassau, Bahamas, couldn't locate the proper oxygen supply needed to resuscitate him. Smith died while visiting his stripper-turned-spokesmodel mother at the hospital, where she had given birth three days earlier, reportedly via caesarean, to a baby daughter. At a press conference commemorating the fifth anniversary of 9/11 Monday, Prime Minister Perry Christie said Anna Nicole had been granted permanent residency in the Bahamas just last week, and recently bought a home on Nassau's posh Eastern Road.
The hospital's CEO, Barry Rassin, strongly denied the negligence allegations in an interview with Radar, saying that the hospital is pursuing legal action against the Nassau Guardian, which reported the anonymously sourced story on Tuesday. "Standard procedure was followed at all times," says Rassin.

According to the paper, Daniel was vomiting uncontrollably before he collapsed and died, sending his mother into a "violent rage" as she wrestled with hospital workers to get closer to her son. "All we know right now is that he was on anti-depressants," the source says. "Some things indicate that he probably overdosed on those drugs."

By the time it was all over, the room "was a total mess" splattered with blood and vomit, and Smith's son, who she gave birth to at age 18, was dead.

I was rather on the neutral side re the Israeli-Lebanon war.I like to know as much as possible about BOTH sides in conflicts such as this one. But I'm really kind of apprehensive about Israel. Its coming out now that she used phosphorus shells and cluster bombs in Lebanon. And that she used 90% of them when she learned the US ceasefire Resolution.was about to be adopted by the Security Council.
IDF soldiers say they fired some l,800 cluster rockets on Lebanon and they contained l.2 million cluster bombs.
Those bombs struck 350 locations in S. Lebanon. The whole region has been contaminated with more than 100,000 unexploded bomblets, scattered by these cluster bombs.Curiously enough,the US has been supplying Israel cluster bombs since the seventies.
????
What in the world else is going to come out about this war..
Israel is our FRIEND.
What happens if she becomes our enemy.

I keep hearing that nothing has been found to this date to show that a large passenger plane hit the Pentagon. If it didn't, then where did it go?

This is really a shock to me. How many Columbines does Québec need? That's three, in the past seventeen years (Polytechnique, in 1989, Concordia, in 1992, and today, at cégep Dawson), and more than enough.

Just... why? How do these things happen? What goes on in a person's head that they enter a school and start shooting people?

The suspect has been shot by policemen, and one girl died. Three others are in a critical situation, and about twenty people are in emergency blocks in several Montréal hospitals.

Just... why? Are there answers? I hear students crying on the television behind me.

Something is rotten in this society, and a wake-up call needs to be made. When things like this happen, you need to wonder about the situation of people, especially young ones.

The suspect is dead, and if they don't find a note, there most likely won't be any motive found. A gratuitious shooting, how pleasant.

What makes a person tick this way? Does anyone have an answer?

I know Mel Gibson was a complete jerk for saying what he did, and it is reprehensible to burn the Koran, or write jokes about Muslims, but does anyone but me see a double standard here when it comes to Christian things?

Example: Madonna mocking a sacred Christian symbol in her show by being on a disco-cross with a crown of thorns during her R-rated show...(Not to mention NBC agreeing to air it)...If someone acted out a sacred Muslim tradition, they would be practically burned at the stake in the media!!

And Christians are always portrayed on TV and in movies to be right-wing fanatic nut jobs (I agree that some are, just like there are nut jobs in EVERY cultural/social group) but there are lots who aren't. Why is this behavior accepted, ner I say even encouraged!!
