China dissaproves of Dalai Lama's meeting with Canada's PM

October 31, 2007

The Dalai Lama XIV visited Toronto for the last two day's of his visit to Canada yesterday. He arrived at the Fairmont Royal York hotel in downtown Toronto.

He blessed the Tibetan Canadian Community Centre in Etobicoke, Ontario this morning, he also talked about "The Art of Happiness" to a crowd of 30,000 people at the Rogers Centre this afternoon, as well as making visits to other places.

Tibetan Canadians waited outside of the hotel to meet the Dalai Lama for more than an hour.

"I am just one man. If humanity tomorrow faces great difficulties, one individual cannot escape," he said.

"The situation inside Tibet is not as rosy as the Chinese propaganda would say," said the Dalai Lama in response to China's "dissatisfaction". "My Chinese brothers and sisters are always very sensitive. And the Tibet issue is very sensitive." The Dalai Lama fled from Tibet to India after the Tibetan resistance movement collapsed in 1959.

China expressed dissatisfaction at the meeting, but did not specify what they are dissatisfied with. However, the Dalai Lama's recent visits to countries around the world is one factor and China says he is pushing to separate Tibet, but he said he wants autonomy, not separatism. There is an unofficial report that the Dalai Lama will be meeting with Pope Benedict XVI on December 13, but the Vatican has not yet commented on whether this is true.

"We express strong dissatisfaction [with Monday's meeting]," said ministry spokesman, Liu Jianchao. "We hope they can reflect on and correct the erroneous actions."

"It is a blatant interference in China's internal affairs and has severely hurt the feelings of the Chinese people and will gravely undermine the relationship between China and Canada," said political counsellor, Sun Lushan.

The Dalai Lama told Prime Minister Stephen Harper during their meeting on Monday to "please take a few thousand more" [Tibetan refugees living in exile in Nepal and India], but a spokesman for Immigration Minister Diane Finley said "According to the UNHCR, they're not facing persecution in India. But having said that, we are prepared to review applications on a case-by-case basis if they're referred to us by the UNHCR."

Secretary of state for multiculturalism Jason Kenney, who is a defender of human rights, particularly freedom of religion, said he hopes the "entire world gets the message that attacking a 72-year-old Buddhist monk who advocates nothing more than cultural autonomy for his people is counterproductive." He also said exports to China and Chinese tourism rose after the Dalai Lama was given honorary citizenship in July 2006.

Judge delivers verdicts in 2004 Madrid train bombing trial
The National Court of Spain has found 21 of 28 defendants guilty in connection with the 2004 Madrid train bombings. Chief Judge Javier Gomez Bermudez read the verdicts which came after three months of deliberations.

The defendants were facing charges including murder, forgery and conspiracy to commit a terrorist attack. 27 of them are men and one is a woman. 19 are mostly Moroccan Arabs and nine Spaniards.

The 2004 Madrid train bombings consisted of a series of coordinated bombings against the commuter train system of Madrid, Spain on the morning of March 11, 2004, killing 191 people and wounding 2,050.

5.6 earthquake strikes California
According to the United States Geological Survey (USGS) a magnitude 5.6 earthquake, lasting about 90 seconds, struck at 20:04:54 (PDT), with the epicenter being 5 miles north, northeast of Alum Rock California and 9 miles northeast of the center of San Jose. The actual coordinates given by USGS put it along the border of San Jose and Milpitas in the hills near neighborhoods in both cities. The quake was felt as far away as the California communities of Sacramento, Sonoma, and Los Banos. It was the most powerful quake in the San Francisco Bay Area and Silicon Valley since 1989.

At least ten aftershocks have been reported by 8:35 p.m with magnitudes ranging from 1.3 to 1.8.

Canadian government announces major tax reductions
Canadian Finance Minister Jim Flaherty announced a five-year program that could reduce taxes by a total C$60 billion.

Some of the planned tax reduction measures include:

 * Low-end personal income tax rates which would be reduced half a percent to 15%, taking retroactive effect to January 2007;
 * Raising the minimum income taxable about a thousand dollars to $9,000 Canadian which is also backdated to January 2007;
 * As well as eventual reductions in business tax rates and goods and services tax.

These measures will be brought before the House of Commons in Ottawa on Wednesday as a confidence motion. The opposition has expressed an unwillingness to defeat the government on this matter.

World champion Boston Red Sox hold "rolling rally"; many more could be on the way
The Boston Red Sox baseball team, back in Boston today, fresh off their sweep of the Colorado Rockies, paraded down from the venerable Fenway Park onto Boylston Street in Boston making their way through the heart of Boston's Back Bay until reaching the Boston Common where they then made their way up Tremont Street to Boston's Government Center where the rally ended at City Hall.

Singer Meat Loaf falls ill during concert

November 1, 2007 Wikinews has learned that American rock singer Meat Loaf has taken ill during a concert in Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom. He told the audience that it was "the last concert of his life," and left the stage.

The incident came 70 minutes into the show on Halloween night. During the opening of Paradise by the Dashboard Light he suggested that the crowd of thousands should enjoy the performance as it was the last of his career. He attempted to sing the first line of the song, but instead said "Ladies and gentlemen, I love you, and I thank you for coming, but I can no longer continue. Good night, God bless you. I love you. Thank you for 30 years. I’m taking my coat off; I bow; and I say goodbye forever." He then left the stage, soon followed by his band.

The venue, Metro Radio Arena, have announced that the singer had a sore throat. However, they also say that fans are unlikely to be refunded the cost of their tickets, priced at between £37.50 and £45, because he had performed for over an hour.

Comments:Iraq's President supports U.S. Senate plan to decentralize Iraq

There are two seperate questions at stake here: firstly, do US senators have the remit to make law in other countries? and secondly, is a federal system where the three main regional and religious groups are represented with a significant degree of independence desirable? The answers are no and yes respectively. Unfortunately Americans think they have a God given right to rule the world, just as the Britsh did 100 years ago. Equally unfortunate is that a nation cannot divide peaceably into neat regional/religious groups, history testifies that this process will be a bloodthirsty one, but I believe other alternatives (such as pretending Iraq is one big happy family, despite all the evidence) will be even more destructive. We should be wary of Sunni muslims trying to cling to power and whipping up anti-american feeling as a means of doing so, Kurds and shi-ites have equal right to be represented in iraq.

Comments:Singer Meat Loaf falls ill during concert

If his fans that had attended his concert were truly his fans, they should cordially understand to take into consideration that Meatloaf was only human, like the rest of us.

He may not only suffered from a sore throat, but May had other Underlying medical issues with his health at the time?

At least his fans at that particular concert were entertained for over an hour.

It was the logical and sensitive statement to announce, those in attendance would not receive a refund for their tickets; especially since they had actively witness his first 70 minutes of his concert.

There have been other performers who had been unable to perform even in less time than Meatloaf had performed. And had to leave the stage, due to an illness.

Though that concert had taken so many years ago, I’m sure those fans who had been present, now realize they had the opportunity to see Meatloaf LIVE IN CONCERT and can remember it today…the day after he had Passed Away at 74 years of age.

Rest In Peace, Meatloaf, Eternally~

I was at the concert
I was at the concert at the Metro Radio Arena in Newcastle. I've loved meatloaf since i was young at the wife bought us tickets for the event as a present. I was really looking forward to it as some friends had been to his 2006 concert and had a great time. I, and most of the audience, found that this concert was very poor. He did not sing in tune and seemed to be getting 'carried' by the backing singers and musicians, and when he walked off at the end... very disappointing - He didn't even sing 'Bat out of Hall' !!!

I for one would demand a refund on the tickets as the concert was a complete letdown, having spent loads of money on merchandise epecting a great show.....

End of the day, he looked ill when he first came out, several times during the show he looked like he was having a bad turn. He should have cancelled the concert and re-scheduled.

Very disappointed fan

If he's ill he's ill and I wish him well. However the show was substandard he clearly should not have gone on in the first instance and if it went over an hour it only did so by a few minutes. If you went to see a film at the cinema that you could reasonably expect to last for a couple of hours and it stopped after an hour would you not expect a refund? I would and do.

Sore throat? Well that would certainly explain the slurred words, being out of beat, staggering around the stage, having your eyes almost shut for the majority of the time, the shaking hand, being unable to stand up straight, and looking like he was off his face. Oh no, wait, it wouldn't. Am I the only one that thinks he was off his face last night? I have never been so disappointed in my life! Someone may as well just tell me that santa isn't real and that will just finish me off. What do you mean he doesn't exist? Ohhh gooood nooooooo...say it ain't so!!! That's it. Goodbye cruel world....

meatloaf falling ill at concert
i agree with other comments made on the net that meatloaf's performance was poor from the outset, and something was definitely wrong. I have seen him perform many times live, and he has been absolutely magic on these occasions, but last night he seemed to struggle to hit the right notes and sometimes you couldn't hear him. there were chaotic scenes inside the venue when the concert was suddenly brought to an abrupt end. I think patti russo was a huge miss, and the new backing singers just couldn't cut it. pearl aday (meatloaf's daughter) provided great support with her band motherpearl.i am a bit disgruntled to learn of the arena's comments of not refunding the fans part of their money, as meatloaf had performed for over an hour.i believe this is desputable as he came on well after 8.30 and we were out of the arena at quarter to 10!

Also at the show
I was also at the show, last night. I was told by one of the staff there that Meat was with paramedics after the show, so I honestly do think the guy was ill. However, I have to say, I don't think he should have come on in the first place. He did at times seem very disoriented, but I'm convinced he wasn't high or drunk, just ill. Anyhow, I was also told that anyone wanting refunds should contact the tour promoter "Kennedy Street" NOT the venue. I also believe he was on stage for under an hour, as he was late getting on stage in the first place.

I want my money back
I was at the concert and have been a fan of Meatloaf for years and love his music but feel that I was ripped off. If Meatloaf had a sore throat he should have cancelled the concert and given his fans their money back not given them a very second rate, short performance. This is the one and only time I have seen him live and was really looking to it. I spent a lot of time and money travelling to the event. I was VERY disappointed.

Meat Loaf Takes His Bat Home
I was a huge Meat Loaf fan but after last night am left wondering if I and the other thousands of fans have been conned. I was at this concert and was bitterly disappointed at the poor performance and shocked when he abandoned the show. If he was ill he should have cancelled instead of allowing the tour promoters to extort money from people. I paid £53 for my ticket and believe that I should be reimbursed the full amount as the tour promoters did not uphold their end of the bargain. But at the end of the day money is not the issue - morals are. I was really looking to seeing my hero for the first time live and paid a day's salary for the ticket and drove for two hours to the venue. It seems like a plan was hatched to stick him on stage for an hour so the promoters could make their money and not pay fans a refund. He sang six songs, even Meat Loaf can't make six songs last an hour, how ironic that he sang 'I want my money back'. I know how he feels - so do I.

meatloaf - ill
i think for meatloaf to end the concert early it must be quite bad as i believe he is one of a few performers who take his role seriously and would carry on if he could... hope he gets well soon Deb

Meatloaf a diabetic?
I heard that Meatloaf was diagnosed with diabetes a number of years ago... and thats why he changed his eating habits and lost weight. His voice still blinds me ... he is the best. ~Annette~

It's now 2009 and my wife and I still feel cheated by this effort. I was able to go to one of the earlier Newcastle shows (my wife was ill and couldn't make it). That show was fantastic, even after his customary shaky start. I brought back good tidigns of a great night and, more importantly, news of tickets for the return concert.... Being a lifelong ML fan, she built up hopes of a show of a lifetime, with the full backing of my earlier experience. Avid fans may deny it but from the opening vocal, all was far from well. The mighty Loaf staggered, slurred, swore, muttered and fell about the stage. I was ashamed. My wife had dreamt of this concert for months, hoped to see him live for years. This was shocking. It was so bad, we had to leave by the end of song three, if only to preserve the memory of a fanship. Any longer would have been an afront to a belief in his abilities. At the door, there was already a queue of complainants asking for refunds. The publicity denies this strenuously, but we were in a queue of at least thirty people (this was less than 20 minute into the concert). News that he walked off arrived later that night. We are surprised he wasn't carried off on a stretcher. Sore throat, my arse. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.157.156.13 (talk) 18:05, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

ONE OF THE GREAT SINGERS!!!
THIS MAN IS A GREAT SINGER AND IT IS VERY SAD THAT HE WILL NOT SING ANY MORE! HE IS ALSO A HUMAN BEING THAT GAVE EVERY ONE THE BEST YEARS HIS VOICE COULD GIVE!

I totally agree... well done, lets hope the UK follows soon with the same stance.

Im not so sure, while i agree with secular society i never thought of halloween as anything more than abit of fun, if the activities are secular they should be allowed, meaning teachers could hold secular activities if they wanted to. But their stance is much better than a non-secular stance. *looks at my old schools where mass/christmass prayers where obligatory and tries to pretend america just isnt there*--144.82.242.108 16:32, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

Japan fishermen clash with surfers over 2007 dolphin hunt

November 1, 2007 Japanese fishermen in Taiji, Japan clashed with surfers from Australia and the United States. The location where dolphins are culled was moved to a secluded cove this year to hide the activity from television crews and protesters.

After successfully defending the hunt, by using boat propellers and boat hooks against the group of surfers, who were joined by actress Hayden Panettiere, the fishermen have started their annual cull.

Whaling in Taiji usually yields 2,000 dolphins per year using the dolphin drive hunting method. The dolphins are diverted from their migration route by banging metal rods. As fear can affect the taste of the meat, after being speared and bludgeoned to death, they are left to hang for a day before being cut up. Television crews and campaigners opposed to the culling were prevented by fishermen and local police from filming these activities.

Although the practice of aquatic mammal hunting is condemned by many groups worldwide as well as within Japan, whaling is seen by those involved as a long-practiced cultural tradition that should be defended. As the demand for whale and dolphin meat for use in sushi has declined, the Government of Japan now has to financially subsidize the industry to support the local economy. Japan argues that whaling is still carried out for scientific reasons, to understand species population numbers. This claim is disputed by the scientific community outside of Japan as well as by environmentalists.

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called CaponeX. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name CaponeX~enwikinews that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Not all wikis are the same
See you're still fighting your corner on our comments page, good for you. :-)

I hope you've had a better experience on Wikinews than on Wikipedia. We're not afraid to point out when they have problems, and in *every* case it is a group of contributors that are misguided. For example, when the Wikiscanner tool was made available we discovered that Fox news was hacking away at Wikipedia removing criticism and negative comments and adding in praise for their reporters.

Notability guidelines are a bitch to get right and keep a balance of people happy. If you wanted to write about your neighbour's dog dying on Wikinews it'd get shot down in flames, but if he gave it a $10,000 sendoff - that'd be Wackynews.

I don't want to defend Wikipedia here, I don't have a lot of edits on the project and do not follow their deletion processes. I just want to remind you we are a separate community with little overlap with the Wikipedia project. --Brian McNeil / talk 13:11, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

Westboro Baptist Church ordered to pay US$11 million to family of fallen US soldier

November 1, 2007 The Westboro Baptist Church has lost a lawsuit and has been ordered by United States District Court: District of Maryland to pay US$11 million to the family of Marine Lance Cpl. Matthew Snyder, a fallen soldier, who was killed while serving in Iraq.

The lawsuit was filed by Snyder's father, Albert, after the church held a protest across the street from the cemetery where funeral services were being held. The church was sued for, "defamation of character, invasion of privacy--intrusion upon seclusion, invasion of privacy--publicity given to private life, intentional infliction of emotional distress and civil conspiracy," according to court documents obtained by Wikinews.

Wikinews has also learned that the church filed a motion for a mistrial on October 29, but was ultimately denied.

The jury ordered that $2.9 million be awarded to the Snyder family for compensatory damages and $8 million in punitive damages, but reports say that the church cannot afford that amount, with their assets worth under $1 million. The defendants plan to appeal the judgment and have expressed confidence they can get it overturned.

Washoe "the signing chimp" dies

November 1, 2007 Washoe, a chimpanzee that became famous for being taught to use American Sign Language (ASL), has died at the age of 42. Washoe was the first chimpanzee to learn sign language, although whether or not Washoe's and many other great apes' communication is actually language is still a subject of controversy.

In the early 1960s, attempts to teach apes to speak had consistently failed. Allen Gardner and Beatrix Gardner hypothesized that this was due to physical constraints on the vocal apparati of the apes rather than a lack of brain power. To test their hypothesis, in 1966 they took the baby Washoe and began to teach her sign language which turned out to be successful; Washoe learned over 250 symbols from American sign language, and other researchers quickly began to make similar experiments with other chimpanzees and great apes.

However, later work by Herbert Terrace suggested that the behaviour of Washoe and others was, to a large extent, imitating the researchers rather than spontaneous. Furthermore, Washoe and other chimpanzees never learned how to use grammar or how to construct recursions, two things which many linguists point to as unique aspects of language. Later attempts to have chimpanzees learn by observation as human infants do have also been successful, but there are still no signs that they have learned grammar. Some linguists such as Noam Chomsky have suggested that humans have specialized areas of the brain devoted to processing language and that we are hardwired to do so. Such hypotheses explain why apparently intelligent apes are unable to form language.

This is the second death this year of an animal famous for possibly learning language. In September 2007 Alex the Grey Parrot, who had learned to speak a variety of words and distinguish colors and shapes, died after a protracted illness.

When Washoe and other apes who had learned ASL interacted with each other, they used ASL to communicate.

Washoe spent the last few years of her life at Central Washington University at the Ellensburg campus.

A memorial service is planned for Washoe for November 12, 2007. Details will be made available from "Friends of Washoe," a non-profit organization.

London's Metropolitan Police Service found guilty in suspected suicide bomber case

November 1, 2007

London's Metropolitan police force has been found guilty of endangering the public during an anti-terrorism operation that lead to the death of an innocent Brazilian man in July of 2005.

The British jury at Old Bailey convicted the police force of violating the Health & Safety legislation because the operation was deemed an excessive threat to the public. They also stressed that no individual culpability should be placed on Cressida Dick, the officer in charge of the operation. The police force was fined £175,000 and ordered to pay £385,000 for legal expenses.

"This was very much an isolated breach brought about by quite extraordinary circumstances," said Justice Henriques. "One person died and many others were placed in potential danger."

Sir Ian Blair, the Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis, was at Old Bailey to hear the verdict. He said he plans to "continue leading the Metropolitan police." Len Duvall, chair of the Metropolitan Police Authority, said it "fully supported" Blair. A spokesperson for Gordon Brown said that Blair continues to have the confidence of the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.

However, Asad Rehman, a spokesperson for the victim's family, called for Blair's resignation. "Whilst it was a difficult day, that does not mean that procedure and the Metropolitan Police did not fail," he said.

Electrician Jean Charles de Menezes died in the Stockwell Tube Station after being shot in the head by police officers seven times. They mistook him for another man, Hamdi Adus Isaac (aka Osman Hussain), who failed in the July 21, 2005 attack on the London underground one day before.

Comments:Westboro Baptist Church ordered to pay US$11 million to family of fallen US soldier

Hilarious, BUT: I was under the impression that protests were, no matter how offensive, a legal form of demonstrating opinion. That's why the KKK can get away with being such utter douchebags, but still prance down the street in their bedsheets with police protection. It seems at cross-purposes with that basic right to lay such a heavy fine (or any fine) on them for simply showcasing how they feel, idiotic as it might be.

In before Bel-Air.
 * Protests are okay, but defamation, slander and harassment are not okay. --David Shankbone 18:58, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

What a joke. I don't care whether their protests were right or wrong, this is clearly an emotionally motivated judgment. Theres no was this emotional stress amounts to 12 million dollars. If a judge can feel for us another judge can feel for them. If one judge can stop them from protesting another can stop us from protesting.
 * Nobody is saying they can't protest. But how would you feel if that funeral was your  mother's and they were calling her a dyke, chanting as the funeral was being held, and reveling in her death?  Civil judgments are not just for the one act, but take into account patterns of behavior and are also meant to be preventative.  People have a right to protest, but they do not have the right to defame people and harass them.  Your rights end when they infringe on another's person's rights.  Our freedoms aren't unfettered.  --David Shankbone 19:26, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

 * Well I find your attitude somewhat annoying, would you mind if I dance on your grave when you die? Its a form of protest over your ignorance. --194.66.175.81 13:16, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Go ahead. 24.180.19.26 18:15, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

wow
i think these people got off fairly easy for doing what they did

This is wonderful step forward in the battle against hatred in America and around the world. I am so proud of the family for stepping up and taking action against these people. The Westboro Baptist Church is nothing but a group of ignorant and hateful people. Their actions have been pasted all over the news as the actions of Christians everywhere, even though they are a tiny, tiny minority. Christianity preaches love and tolerance, not hatred. The Westboro Baptist Church has finally got what they deserve. I hope that this lawsuit bankrupts the church (and it will) and causes members to take seriously the emotional consequences of their disgusting actions. I hope they disband, but having seen their stubborness before I doubt that they will. If I could get the address of the family who sued, I would like very much to send them a letter saying thank you from Christians and homosexuals everywhere. Let this be a thank you to them: as a homosexual, an American citizen, AND a supporter of our troops, I feel a little safer knowing that there are people in this world who will stand up when their family members are put down. This isn't even an issue of the church's disturbing anti-homosexual protests. It disgusts me that they would connect homosexuality to something so tragic as the death of a soldier. These two things are unrelated. It makes my stomach turn over when I see pictures of them bothering a family in such a tragic time. I find it hard to believe that there are people like that in the world, who are so insensitive and backwards. I hope for their sake they read the New Testament through again, and maybe stop over on the phrase "love your neighbor as yourself."

Sincerely

Maggie

Embarassment
This bunch is a real embarassment to Kansas. A bunch of social terrorists hiding under the banner of religion and the judge should have also stripped them of their tax exempt status.
 * They don't have tax exempt status, they're a LLC. Goddam pseudo-church full of bigoted asshats. --Brian McNeil / talk 10:15, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
 * I don't even think they are bigots; I think they are just crazy and a cult. It's hard to hate them because they seem so pitiful in their attempts to get a piece of media spotlight.  But it's easy to hate them because they disrupt people grieving for their dead. --David Shankbone 19:08, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

hahaha... enough said —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.131.123.155 (talk) 17:53, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

That Church is nowhere near a real Baptist Church, and they are an embarrassment to Baptists. I checked out their doctrine, and, as I suspected, they are also hypercalvinists. That figures.

It's one thing to have an opinion on homosexuality, and quite another to behave in such an obnoxious and hurtful way toward people whom they don't even know. I'm delighted that they got sued, and I hope their rotten little cult soon disappears.

I saw a TV progam made by the U.K.'s B.B.C. about them. The presenter was very patient and gracious toward them, but was treated very rudely. One of their females, disgustingly, told the presenter (who is NOT gay, by the way) that he is going to hell, instead of being nice to him and telling him how to get saved. That woman is apparently unaware of the fact that I Corinthians says that some of the members of the Corinthian Church were gay.

Five injured as Mandala Airlines 737 overshoots runway in Malang, Indonesia

November 1, 2007 A Mandala Airlines Boeing 737-200 overshot the runway at Abdul Rachman Saleh Airport, East Java, Indonesia after a domestic flight from Jakarta. Five passengers were injured in the incident, none seriously.

The aircraft's nose landing gear is understood to have separated in the incident, in which the aircraft skidded 260 feet from the end of the runway. Five of the 89 passengers and seven crew on board received cuts and bruises during the emergency evacuation that followed. It was raining heavily at the time, although it is not known if this is considered to have played a factor.

Airport official Suradi described the scene to Reuters via telephone: "The plane now lies abandoned on the runway ... Its head is slightly tilted down because the front wheel broke off."

The accident is currently under investigation. One potential cause being looked at is the fact that the forward landing gear axle is believed to have snapped upon landing, setting off the chain of events.

The Indonesian aviation industry has been the subject of much criticism this year over safety concerns, sparked by a string of accidents including Adam Air 574, which crashed into the ocean, killing 102, Adam Air Flight 172, a nonfatal accident where a plane snapped in half, and Garuda Indonesia Flight 200, which overshot a runway at extreme speed, killing 21. All Indonesian airlines are on the list of air carriers banned in the EU, and the United States Federal Aviation Administration has downgraded Indonesia to its lowest safety rating.

Mandala's only fatal accident was the crash of Mandala Airlines Flight 091 in 2005, which killed 112 people.

Comments:Japan fishermen clash with surfers over 2007 dolphin hunt

Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...... what is the name of the fisherman?????????????????????????????

Doyou have a picture o him??????//

mmmmmmmm tasty, anyone who's had dolphin knows its delicious and well worth the environmental damage. Smarter fish = better meat

Scientific research
This quote makes perfect sense, "Japan argues that whaling is still carried out for scientific reasons, to understand species population numbers." - You see when Japan can no longer find any whales, or dolphins, they will conclude that the population number is zero and thus find their scientific research complete! --Nzgabriel | Talk 05:30, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

WOW SOMEDAY WE"RE GONNA REGRET THIS
human race is a killing machine.....creates and destroys...hopefully someday we will regret this and we will pay for this some way

Mercury poisoning outbreak emminent!!!
I was extremely disturbed to see the total lack of empathy, care and most of all intelligence, of the SMALL group of fishermen in Taiji, that seem to have the power to "keep at bay" all who try to show the world how their earn a buck! (adamant that there is nothing wrong with their job, but the go to extremes to hide it). Even more disgusting, not only do Japanese zoos', but worldwide "Sea World" type organisations go to take their pick of the Dolphins they choose to break and train and make $$$M. To top it off, they are feeding the highly toxicated, mercury filled meat to their country under false pre tense, including their neighbours, their pregnant women, children and themselves! Japan just can't seem to do a thing right.

Baseball's Dodgers hire Joe Torre
Joe Torre will be the new manager of the Los Angeles Dodgers Major League Baseball franchise, according to a team announcement on Thursday. Torre had been manager of the New York Yankees since 1996.

Grady Little had been the Dodgers manager until Tuesday when he resigned from the team with one year remaining on his three-year contract.

S&P CNX Nifty hits all-time high of 6,000
S&P CNX Nifty, the leading index for large companies on the National Stock Exchange of India, reached a historic high of 6000 points before dropping by Thursday's closing to 5,866.45 points.

The recent successes in India stock markets raised concerns that stocks are being valued too highly, causing an economic bubble that could be subject to correction.

American screenwriters' strike set for Monday
Writers for American film and television productions are scheduled to walk off the job Monday leaving entertainment programming struggling for scripts. The Writers Guild of America is demanding that their members receive payments for "new media" distribution of their works such as Internet downloads.

The union's contract expired on Wednesday. Production of many television series and films will continue in the short term because of scripts that are already written. However, a strike will have an immediate impact on talk shows whose writing relies on current events. The last strike by the Writers Guild in 1988 lasted nearly half a year.

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Gloriamarie. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Gloriamarie~enwikinews that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:18, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Renamed
 This account has been renamed as part of single-user login finalisation. If you own this account you can |log in using your previous username and password for more information. If you do not like this account's new name, you can choose your own using this form after logging in: . -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 06:31, 21 April 2015 (UTC)
