Second dust storm hits Sydney, Australia

September 26, 2009

A dust storm has hit Sydney, Australia, the second such storm in a matter of days. People awoke to find the sky red and yellow after winds stirred up dust and began to blow it across the greater Sydney region. According to the New South Wales Department of Environment, the storm was estimated to have started at around 4:00 a.m.–5:00 local time. Long droughts in Australia recently have made the soil very dry.

The new storm has not caused any damage and was not as severe as the one that struck the area earlier in the week. People who have difficulties with breathing are advised to stay indoors as the air could be hazardous for those with heart or lung conditions. Wednesday's storm lasted nearly eight hours, stretched for 350 miles across the coast and could be seen from space. Satellite pictures taken during Saturday's storm had shown a band of dust 125 miles (200 kilometres) wide, stretching from the central part of Australia towards the east coast, with visibility in the area reduced to just 500 metres.

Referring to Wednesday's storm, Australian weather forecaster Barry Hanstrum said, "we've got an area of widespread dust but not as thick as it was on Wednesday. It's likely to clear through the metropolitan area through mid-morning." The weather bureau for Australia said that dust storms were created by high-speed and wild winds, causing the dust to spread to Queensland and New South Wales.

Template talk:Money

This example:

Displays weirdly - 10 000 thousand - it should be 10 million. --Brian McNeil / talk 13:54, 26 September 2009 (UTC)
 * I played around with the template a bit in the sandbox, and it appears as though the template isn't configured to recognise the word "million" and instead displays it in thousands of thousands - not optimal. I'm no good at wiki-markup, i don't know what needs to be changed in the template to correct this. Tempodivalse [talk]  14:23, 26 September 2009 (UTC)
 * The "|units=" is confusing. It actually means the unit your provided monetary values are expressed in, so produces . Something odd in the template(s) causes an unwanted line break, and (look at the source for this page) it isn't recognising the closing bold. --Brian McNeil / talk 14:34, 26 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Currently the units calculator only converts by a max of three decimal places. Ideally it would do more and than people would not have to specify units. I'm not sure how to fix the line breaks at the moment (and don't have time to track it down atm), but it appears to be a problem with Money/ISO 4217 inserting extra newlines (play with it in special:expandTemplates to see.) Bawolff ☺☻ 17:23, 26 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Issue described above (with newlines) should be fixed. Also do we want a space after currency name (US$200 vs US$ 200)? Styeguide seems to say say no space. Bawolff ☺☻ 19:02, 26 September 2009 (UTC)

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 Eestituvi. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Eestituvi~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.

Iran to conduct missile defense exercise

September 26, 2009

The Iranian government has announced that the nation will be participating in a missile defense test which could take place as early as tomorrow.

According to the IRNA, Iran's official news agency, the test is an annual exercise aimed to "maintain and develop" defense capabilities of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard.

The exercise is named 'Great Prophet 4' and will involve shooting a variety of live missiles at targets. Reports say the drill will be conducted in several unknown locations and will last for several days. The exercise also falls on the Jewish holiday of Yom Kippur.

The announcement comes just hours after the Iranian government stated that the nation was building a second nuclear power facility. The announcement was made in a September 21 letter from the Iranian government to the United Nations Security Council that a second nuclear plant was being constructed in the city of Qom.

Scientists confirm new superheavy element

September 26, 2009 Researchers at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, California have confirmed the existence of the superheavy element 114 — otherwise known as ununquadium — ten years after its first observation by Russian scientists. Containing 114 protons, this is the heaviest element detected in multiple laboratories and another step towards the theorised island of stability, the "holy grail" of such research.

The elusive element was first detected in 1998 at the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research, Dubna, Russia, when a plutonium target was bombarded with calcium ions accelerated in a cyclotron. Until now no other groups had been able to confirm the Russian team's results. "It’s unusual for important results like the Dubna group’s claim to have produced 114 to go unconfirmed for so long," said Ken Gregorich, part of the Berkeley team.

Nuclear reactions producing the element occur only rarely, and once produced it decays quickly. The Berkeley experiment was run for eight days almost continuously and only two nuclei of element 114 were detected during this time. Each was a different isotope, both with 114 protons but one with 172 neutrons and one with 173. The team had to use sophisticated gas-filled separators to find these among the many other products of the collisions. To make sure their analysis of the data was correct, it was run through two independent computer programs written by different members of the team.

Both isotopes of 114 observed decayed to element 112 in less than a second. The superheavy elements are typically short-lived, but theorists predict a so-called "island of stability", a group of elements that are much more stable because they contain "magic numbers" of protons and neutrons. According to Gregorich: "Based on the ideas of the 1960s, we thought when we got to element 114 we would have reached the Island of Stability". But more recent theories suggest that heavier elements may be needed. "The work we're doing now will help us decide which theories are correct and how we should modify our models," Gregorich continued.

The Berkeley group's results have been reported in the journal Physical Review Letters.

Tesco pricing error in Cambridgeshire, England allows customers to get cheaper fuel

September 26, 2009 A petrol pump at a Tesco supermarket became extremely popular with local customers due to an underpricing error. The supermarket filling pump in the village of Milton near Cambridge, England, starting dispensing fuel for per litre (equivalent to US$2.64 per gallon (US) ) for six whole days. Because of the fault, this meant that customers would be paying £20 for 50 litres of fuel instead of the usual price, £54.

Six days after the fault was first noticed by customers, a mechanic fixed the pump on Thursday. It wasn't until the Tesco staff heard about it on the radio, did they become aware of problem. A spokesperson for Tesco said: "This was a technical fault at the pump and an engineer has now rectified the problem. Although we always aim to keep prices down at the pumps, unfortunately, we could not maintain this price indefinitely."

US unmanned aircraft crashes into Iraq political office

September 26, 2009 An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) belonging to the US military has crashed in the northern Iraq city of Mosul. The Shadow drone struck the roof of the Islamic Party's office.

The UAV then bounced down into the building's yard, and is not thought to have been shot down. No injuries were reported and Major Derrick Cheng says the location of the crash is a pure coincidence.

Party member Yahya Abid Mahjob said the party was requesting that the military take greater care with their UAVs. The Shadow, which is an unarmed reconnaissance plane, has been retrieved by US forces.

Earlier this month, another US UAV crashed in central Iraq. The Predator came down without causing damage or injuries. It is a larger vehicle capable of firing Hellfire missiles.

Emergency doctor testifies in NY State Sen. Hiram Monserrate felony assault case

September 26, 2009

An emergency room doctor testified this week in the ongoing criminal trial against New York State Senator Hiram Monserrate. Monserrate faces charges of felony assault in an alleged attack on his girlfriend Karla Giraldo.

The prosecution has asserted that when Monserrate discovered that his girlfriend had the business card of another man, he chose to strike out at her. Monserrate has entered a plea of not guilty to charges he sliced his girlfriend's face with broken glass during a conflict at their apartment in December 2008. The defense team denied that the injury to the woman by Monserrate was intentional, instead claiming that the incident was "an accident" and the result of Monserrate tripping while bringing Giraldo a glass of water.

Dawne Kort, attending physician at the emergency department of Long Island Jewish Hospital, testified that Giraldo repeatedly told her she had been in a fight with Monserrate, and that he intentionally injured her with a piece of broken glass. Dr. Kort brought the situation to the attention of the police because she believed Monserrate had stabbed Giraldo – Dr. Kort also was aware that Monserrate was in the waiting room and she had concerns about Giraldo's safety.

Dr. Kort testified that Giraldo told her Monserrate had exclaimed: "You want the water? You want the water? Here's the water!", and then proceeded to smash a glass into Giraldo's face. Dr. Kort testified that Monserrate's girlfriend told her Giraldo and Monseratte "were fighting and she asked for a glass of water and he shoved it in her face." Dr. Kort said that Giraldo cried: "I can't believe he did this to me. My face! My face! I can't believe my face," on the night of December 19, 2008, while being treated in the hospital.

According to Dr. Kort, another emergency physician said Monserrate had asserted the incident was an accident. When queried about how Giraldo responded to this assertion, Kort testified: "She said many times it was not an accident. They were fighting and he took a piece of glass and cut her face." Giraldo had lacerations surrounding the area of her left eye which required stitches. Dr. Kort also testified as to the nature of the injuries: "It appeared to be a stab wound. It's hospital policy that all stab wounds get reported to the police."

The testimony of Dr. Kort is in contradiction to a sworn statement given after the incident by Giraldo, as well as by arguments from defense counsel. Monserrate's lawyer Joseph Tacopina challenged Dr. Kort on cross examination, arguing that his client's girlfriend's statements to the doctor were inconsistent. Tacopina queried Dr. Kort on specifically when she wrote down notes about Giraldo's statements; Dr. Kort admitted she waited 18 days before writing down her memories of the event. When challenged by Tacopina on her ability to recall the event, Dr. Kort responded: "This was memorable."

Tacopina later commented outside the court to journalists about Dr. Kort's testimony: "I think [the doctor] is officially impeached, but I’m not the fact finder that’s up to the judge. Clearly, she said things very differently in the grand jury than she did on December 19, 2008 the date of the accident."

Chief resident at Long Island Jewish, Dr. Daniel Frogel, submitted a statement which was read in court. Dr. Frogel wrote down his memories of the event on January 2. His statement said that he recalls Giraldo told him "it was not an accident".

Supreme Court Justice William Erlbaum will judge the case without a jury, as Monserrate waived his right for a trial before his peers. Monseratte's defense counsel attempted to suppress Dr. Kort's testimony in pretrial hearings. However, Justice Erlbaum ruled to allow the doctor's statement. The group National Organization for Women has requested that the judge rule Monserrate should be given "the maximum sentence allowable by law". If convicted, Democrat Sen. Monserrate could serve prison time and lose his New York State Senate seat.

Monserrate is a former city councilman. He became a member of the New York State Senate weeks after the conflict with Giraldo, and was made chair of the committee overseeing consumer affairs. Along with Democrat Pedro Espada Jr., Monserrate started a shift in control of the Senate by aligning with the Republican Party.

Sixteen killed in Pakistan after suicide bombings

September 27, 2009

Two powerful suicide attacks struck different areas of northwestern Pakistan on Saturday, apparently targeting the country's security forces. In the first attack, a bomber killed at least six people and wounded more than 60 others outside a police station in Bannu. Shortly thereafter, in Peshawar's commercial district, another attacker blew himself up outside a bank affiliated with the Pakistani army, killing ten people and wounding more than 70 others.

Authorities in Bannu said the suicide bomber exploded a small truck full of explosives, destroying the police station and surrounding buildings.

District Police Officer Iqbal Marwat said nearby civilians were wounded, but most of the casualties were police officers. He said the attacker tried to ram the vehicle through the main gate, but then detonated the bomb after police opened fire.

Local media are quoted a representative for the outlawed Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan as taking responsibility for the bombing.

In a telephone call, Taliban spokesman warned civilians to keep away from security checkpoints and other police installations, saying that "we have broken the silence as the government did not understand the pause in attacks, and from now there will be an increase in the number of suicide bombings."

This is the first time the alliance of more than a dozen militant groups with links to al-Qaida has claimed responsibility since its former leader Baitullah Mehsud was reportedly killed in a U.S. missile strike. Analysts had suggested the group was in disarray following Mehsud's death.

Hours later in Peshawar, officials say an attacker in a parked car threw a grenade at a crowd of people outside the Askari Bank before detonating a bomb in his car.

"Ten people have been killed and 71 wounded, five of them critically," said the chief government administrator of Peshawar, Sahibzada Anis, to the Reuters news agency.

"It was terrible. My children are very frightened. All the windows of my house are broken. It was very frightening," said Beenish Asad, a witness to the event, who lives near where the explosion took place.

No one has claimed responsibility for that particular attack. Senior police official Ghafoor Afridi told Voice of America that the bomber had managed to bypass multiple security checkpoints. "There was checking all around. But somehow, it is not possible to check all vehicles, so they might have slipped a vehicle inside and exploded it," said Afridi.

North West Frontier Province's information minister, Mian Iftikhar Hussain, said that the recent violence would not discourage government forces from fighting the rebels. "It is not only our duty [...] to fight this menace of terrorism, it is a responsibility of the whole world. We are on the front line today, that's why our blood is being shed."

Hussain also said "we are not scared of these people and we have to extend our operations wherever these terrorists are operating," adding that forty suspected would-be suicide bombers had been apprehended within the past several months.

The U.S. Embassy in Pakistan released a statement in which it condemned the bombings. "[The attacks] highlight the vicious and inhuman nature of this enemy whose true target is the democratically elected government of Pakistan and the security of all Pakistanis," the embassy said.

Saturday's attacks come as the Pakistani military works to expand its offensive against the Taliban from in and around Swat Valley to the north to South Waziristan.

 * This is very cool; I've been giving a spin on my blog. A few bugs and requests:
 * There is no way to select compound words (either hyphenated or non-hyphenated)
 * It now considers a hyphen as part of a word. However this introduces problems with hyphanated words that are really two words (example from your blog scientist-historians) . Ideally it should first check the entire thing, than try to see if just one part of the hyphanated word works. I don't know what you mean by non-hyphenated compound words.). - bawolff
 * I mean words like "sans serif" or "death rattle".--ragesoss (talk) 15:38, 25 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah, that would be very very hard to detect, I don't see any possible way of doing that. Bawolff ☺☻ 19:32, 25 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Well theoretically i could introduce some markup suchas: sans serif, but that seems kind of messy. I could also perhaps make it treat an under-score as a fake space, but thats also ugly. Bawolff ☺☻ 18:08, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

Browser-related potential problem
Firefox extension noscript may block scripts from en.wikinews, resulting in issues as pictured here. Solution: Have user whitelist wiktionary.org resolved this problem. -  Amgine | t 21:48, 7 November 2009 (UTC)
 * I wouldn't really clasify this as a problem - if someone disables javascript, they should not be suprised when the javascript does not work. (the issue above would be blocking scripts from wiktionary (with either xslt defined as a script or having css disabled as well) - as if you had either en wikinews, or fr wikinews blocked, you would not be able to get to that step) Bawolff ☺☻ 22:09, 7 November 2009 (UTC)

Translation and Translatewiki
Why do you not transform the LookupHover javascript in a Wikimedia extensions and use the power of the translatewiki ? Crochet.david (talk) 18:32, 12 November 2009 (UTC)
 * That would take it from a simple javascript to requiring it's own extension? That doesn't seem...good. -- Shakata Ga Nai ^_^ 18:39, 12 November 2009 (UTC)
 * For now, it's a simple javascript. But one never knows what the future holds.Crochet.david (talk) 18:46, 12 November 2009 (UTC)
 * I think the point is that it is simple javascript and doesn't need to be anything more, since it already does it's job. Plus if you make it a mediawiki plugin then you can't propagate it out to blogs and such. -- Shakata Ga Nai  ^_^ 18:49, 12 November 2009 (UTC)
 * If it were to become an extension, it would essentially be an extension that just loaded a script. (which i geuss there is nothing wrong with, some people might find that easier to install). However the issue with translatewiki, which well very appealing, the translation doesn't just involve translating a few key phrases, it also involves modifying some rather complicated (And quite fragile) regexs that screen scrape wiktionary, since each language definition uses slightly different markup. This requires some technical knowladge, beyond simply translating words. Bawolff ☺☻ 19:51, 12 November 2009 (UTC)

Problem with French language
Accents at begin and end of words are legal in many languages. For example, on French wikibooks, when I click on "désactivé" word, I get "Could not retrieve definition of desactiv".

Also error messages should be translated. --DavidL (talk) 23:50, 14 November 2009 (UTC)
 * The error message is translated (I could [have] sworn that was translated. must be losing my mind. Its translated now, just needs to be posted to fr wiktionary.). When I click on the word, I get "(Français) Du verbe désactiver." The issue with accents at the end of the word was fixed weeks ago. Perhaps you have an old (really old) cached version of the script. Try doing a hard refresh of the page where you clicked the word. Apperently this is a different issue with accents (Its caused by their being extra whitespace at the end of the word that was not stripped properly). If you do a hard refresh it should be fixed now. Thanks for the bug report. Bawolff ☺☻ 05:24, 15 November 2009 (UTC)

Script conflicts with "Edit pages on double-click"
I'm using the script on Commonms and also have "Edit pages on double-click" activated in the preferences. Unfortunately, both parts can't be used together (unoess on special pages, which are localized almost anytime). It would be great if you could find another way than double-clicking. (See also User talk:Otourly on Commons where I originally asked this). --The Evil IP address (talk) 23:52, 28 November 2009 (UTC)
 * There's a couple ways arround this. First of all, you can hold down shift well double clicking to edit, and not hold down shift to look up a word. Second of all, you can enable the reverseShift option (If your not sure how to do that, i can help you), and use the key combo ctrl+shift+l to look things up. Cheers. Bawolff ☺☻ 18:20, 29 November 2009 (UTC)

Unhiding too early
Displaying the window first and changing its contents second is ugly. Try doubleclicking on a word, then clicking away to hide the window, then doubleclicking another.

Wikinews:Who What When Why Where and How

The 5 Ws and H, as immortalised in Kipling's quote, are one of the cornerstones of journalism. A good news article strives to succinctly answer as many of these as possible in the lede, leaving the rest of the article for additional details and context.

Application
The basic questions may apply differently to different stories. Treat them as flexible reminders of the kinds of information important to include. For example, "who" may refer to whomever is important in the story. "Why" may include motives of actors, and causes of events, when those are significant information, and may also encompass "why the story is important" since newsworthiness must be clear from the lede.

Some notes about each basic question:
 * What: Clearly say what happened without euphemism, melodrama, or indirection. If someone was shot and then died from their injuries, say "died" not "passed away".
 * Where: Some stories happen to a specific location. Perhaps a natural disaster affects a region; or a flood affects certain parts of a city.  Other stories aren't so much about a specific location, but still happen at a location.  A group of scientists at a certain university discover a new genetic cause for a disease; then where begins to blend with who.  If the discovering scientists are at universities distributed all over the world, that too is significant and should be mentioned.
 * When: This is crucial, because freshness is of the essence of news, and it's also easy to answer if you know as much as you should and the news focus is as specific as it should be. A good rule of thumb: if a "day" word — either today, yesterday, or the name of a weekday — doesn't appear in the lede, the article probably isn't suitable for publication.
 * How: If a process is unlikely to be clear to a reader, specify it. Most people are not familiar with the details of political or legal procedures (say, the rules used in Parliament or in a court of law) or the rules of different sports. Make sure that someone who isn't familiar could read the story and understand it.
 * Why: Causation is often something we cannot assert without violating neutrality, but when relevant we can and should provide context and attribute claims of motivation.
 * Who: Most background about people is too detailed to belong in the lede, unless it's really crucial to the story. Later in the article, though, it may be important to dig into people's backgrounds, to provide context for the reader; this background often blends into why.

Lewis Hamilton wins 2009 Singapore Grand Prix

September 28, 2009

McLaren driver Lewis Hamilton won yesterday's Formula One Grand Prix at the Marina Bay Street Circuit in Singapore.

Toyota driver Timo Glock took second place after starting seventh on the grid. Previous Singapore GP winner Fernando Alonso took the last spot on the podium for Renault, having started one place ahead of Glock.

Sebastian Vettel came in fourth for Red Bull after a drive-through penalty for speeding in the pit lane. His teammate Mark Webber, suffering from brake trouble, span off and retired on lap 45. Both Toro Rosso cars also retired due to mechanical problems.

Vettel was chased by both Brawns of Jenson Button and Rubens Barrichello, the current leaders of this season. Hamilton's teammate Heikki Kovalainen secured seventh place for McLaren. The top eight was closed by Robert Kubica of BMW Sauber.

Monday this week saw a conclusion of the "crashgate" scandal around Renault, as the World Motor Sport Council gave the team a two-year suspended ban. This was for a deliberate crash at the 2008 Singapore Grand Prix. Former team boss Flavio Briatore was banned for life from any FIA-sanctioned event and was replaced by Bob Bell on this post and chief engineer Pat Symonds was banned for five years. The Renault team also lost two sponsors this week: ING Group and Mutua Madrileña.

Following the race Jenson Button still leads the Championship with 84 points. Button's teammate Barrichello is 15 points behind, and Brawn are the leading team with 153 points. Vettel is 10 points behind Barrichello and is the only competitor from another team who has a mathematical chance to win the championship. Red Bull are 42.5 and other teams more than 90 points behind Brawn.

Suspect arrested for murder of Iraq's entire taekwondo team

September 28, 2009

Officials in Iraq have announced the arrest in Anbar of a man suspected of abducting and killing all fifteen members of the national taekwondo team. The fifteen sportsmen were ambushed in May 2006.

The team was traveling in convoy towards Jordan to attend a training camp when they were stopped by gunmen. The skeletal remains of thirteen of them were recovered near the highway the following year and the other two remain missing. The attack occurred near Khalidiyah between Fallujah and Ramadi.

US forces and Iraqi commandos made the joint arrest on September 24 and it was announced yesterday. There are no details released on the suspect, but he is reported to have possible links with other terror attacks. The US military did not state in their announcement how they identified the suspect. Victims' relatives have said they are pleased at the news. "We are still overwhelmed by sadness and bitterness, but the arrest of one of the killers will bring some relief to us," said victim Ahmed Ali's cousin Ali Hussein Hamid.

Sportsplayers and officials were regularly targeted by insurgents in 2006 and 2007. According to Chelsea Carter writing for the Associated Press, the slaying of the taekwondo team "became one of the symbols of Iraq's lawlessness during its worse years of sectarian violence."

Welcome
Tempodivalse [talk]  23:26, 27 September 2009 (UTC)

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 Cmac. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Cmac~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.

Welcome
Tempodivalse [talk]  23:26, 27 September 2009 (UTC)

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 Chad. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Chad~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.

Comments:Indian lunar mission Chandrayaan finds water on moon

Italic textAmazing! Mankind can live on the moon for extended periods of time! A lunar base is next, followed by Mars. When (not IF) we destroy planet Earth, some people can move planets; and mankind will live on....
 * I don't think that scant "traces of water molecules" are enough to support multicellular life forms (i.e. humans). Also, there's no atmosphere of any kind on the moon. Also, the moon gets closer to the sun than Earth's "Goldilocks" position (it goes between the Earth and the sun about once a month). One more thing: There's very little gravity on the moon, which would play hell on our bodily systems (muscular and skeletal mostly) because of the then lower resistance in various actions like walking.—66.110.233.67 (talk) 22:19, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Good points, all - still, it's a fascinating discovery, and on the off chance we do decide to set up shop on the moon, better some water than none at all. The estimate of about a teaspoon per a few kilograms (which I tend to simplify to 3) may not sound like much, but given the moon's total mass (about 7.5 * 10^22), there could be plenty of water to be extracted. How do we get it out? Well, there's the rub.
 * LOL Water-mining! Seriously though, it is an unexpected discovery to me.—66.110.233.67 (talk) 07:58, 29 September 2009 (UTC)

i belive, why not we are trying to bring water from some planets, like jupiter, sub planets have more then enough water in them, bring some 250000l of water in 5-6 trip fill it in moon and find some miracle to happen, same for marsh, we need to take us to next lavel, stop thinking, just do it. And see what new things have came for. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.243.109.18 (talk) 09:38, 29 September 2009 (UTC)

other side of the water and craters on moon
These craters and the finding of water may have other side of the story also,since the craters showing the impact are similar and have some kind of uniformity ,which shows that they are made due to some water erosion on the surface. The regolith is having the contents of silicon and hydroxyl etc. which is said to be the resultant of some asteroid collisions,but in my opinion - there has been some bigger incident of water erosion ; there might be some hot water springs ,or some kind of hot lava having a huge quantity of water which has made the craters .Either this process might have been repeated several times or may have taken place due to some big inter action of some lunar incident.Hence ,in all I want to say that if we go in the history of making of craters the water is supposed to be the main reason behind their formation.And in my opinion ,there might even have been phenomenal water logging at some places on moon which will be found out later on after leaving behind the myths ,which we are having regarding water on moon. for further discussion/possibility you can call me on  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.95.171.193 (talk) 13:07, 13 March 2010 (UTC)

Apple announces two billionth download from App Store

September 28, 2009

On Monday, computer company Apple announced that they had had two billion downloads from the iTunes App Store. The 1 billionth application, or app, was downloaded in April 2009 and the 1.5 billionth app was downloaded in July. This announcement means that in the space of just five months, the number of apps downloaded from the App Store has doubled.

There are currently over 85,000 apps available on the App Store. In comparison to this number, rival platform Google Android has roughly 10,000 apps, whereas Palm Pre has less.

There are about 50 million iPhone and iPod Touch users worldwide. There are over 125,000 developers in the iPhone Developer Program. Steve Jobs, Chief Executive of Apple, said: "The rate of App Store downloads continues to accelerate with users downloading a staggering 2 billion apps in just over a year, including more than half a billion apps this quarter alone. The App Store has reinvented what you can do with a mobile handheld device, and our users are clearly loving it."

On Monday, the iPhone was also voted the number 1 "coolest brand of 2009" in a CoolBrands survey, causing former leader of three years Aston Martin to lose the number 1 position. The iPhone also beat the iPod, Nintendo, YouTube, Google, PlayStation, Xbox amongst other popular brands. In a statement released CoolBrands chairman Stephen Cheliotis said: "The iPhone is something everyone's been talking about. There has been such a buzz around it - and people that haven't got one, want one."

At least 50 killed in clashes in Guinea

September 29, 2009

Witnesses and medical officials say at least 50 people have been killed in Conakry, the capital of Guinea, in clashes between security forces and opposition activists who defied a government ban on protests.

Witnesses say Guinea's security forces opened fire on demonstrators who had gathered in a large stadium to protest against the possible presidential candidacy of Captain Moussa Dadis Camara, the country's military leader. They also say police charged protesters with batons, used tear gas, and detained several opposition leaders.

"We have counted 52 bodies and six more have just come in," the city's university medical centre's doctor said.

On Sunday, Captain Camara's government said all protests would be prohibited until national independence celebrations are held on October 2.

"All demonstrations on national territory are prohibited until the national holiday on October 2," said Frederic Kolie, the interior minister, in a televised address on Sunday.

However, opposition activists decided to proceed with the demonstration they had planned for Monday. Some carried signs that read "No to Dadis", and others chanted "We want true democracy." Some of the demonstrators set furniture on fire as they marched from the outskirts of the capital into the city.

"[...] Conakry can be rightly described as a police state [...] All across town, military people at checkpoints are searching people and people have been forced back into their houses," said Al Hassan Silah, a local journalist, to the Al Jazeera news agency.

Captain Camara took power in a coup last December, following the death of Guinea's longtime President Lansana Conte.

When he took power, Captain Camara said no one in his ruling council would run for public office. However, the council has since said its members are eligible to be candidates, and Captain Camara has suggested he may run for president in elections, which are scheduled for January 2010.

The African Union said it may impose sanctions on Guinea if Captain Camara decides to run for president. It said it was concerned about what it called a "deteriorating situation" in the country and the consequences of not returning to constitutional order.

Opponents have also accused Mr Camara and his ruling council of human rights abuses and limiting freedom of speech.

Supporters of Guinea's military council are calling the threatened sanctions unfair.

Apple and Orange pair up in UK iPhone deal

September 29, 2009

Mobile operator Orange has announced it will soon be selling Apple's iPhone in the United Kingdom. The deal marks an end to rival network O2's position as sole UK supplier of the smartphone.

Orange has not yet given details of pricing or dates, but said the iPhone will be available to buy "later this year". It could be a sweet deal for Orange; in February O2 revealed it had sold over a million iPhones since the British launch two years ago. The newest iPhone 3GS has also been selling well, with some stores having trouble keeping up with demand.

Orange's entry could prove fruitful for consumers as well, with some expecting it to lead to a price war. The operator will not have to share its revenues with Apple as O2 did under its exclusive deal, possibly allowing it to cut prices. However it is thought that O2 may be renegotiating its own terms with Apple, or even have done so already.

O2 certainly didn't seem to have sour grapes, acknowledging that its exclusive position was only "for a limited period of time". Although AT&T still have sole rights to sell the iPhone in the United States, most other markets already have multiple providers.

Vodafone, who already sell the iPhone in several other countries, have also expressed an interest in selling it in Britain. Another major network in the UK, T-Mobile, recently announced plans to merge with Orange UK.

I think I would have failed this article on newsworthiness - it seems about as interesting as Wikipedia getting its 1 millionth article (though I guess we might have run that...).

Typhoon Ketsana leaves over 140 dead in the Philippines after heavy flooding

September 29, 2009

The Philippines has appealed for international assistance following the worst flooding in more than 40 years. At least 140 people have been killed and another 32 are missing as a result of the heavy rains, and the death toll from the disaster continues to rise.

The Philippine government has been attempting to provide shelter, food and basic supplies for hundreds of thousands of people displaced by the floods.

Typhoon Ketsana brought torrential rains to the northern Philippines on Saturday, inundating most of the capital Manila and surrounding provinces. Surging water washed away buildings and cars. Scores of people were killed and many are still missing.

President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo called the disaster an "extreme event" that has strained the government's capabilities to the limit. She said rescue efforts will continue until all residents are accounted for.

Two days after the flooding, rescue and relief operations continue to be hampered by the lack of rubber boats and helicopters. Many victims are demanding answers from local authorities for the lack of advance warning and the slow response to the emergency. Victims said they were stranded on their rooftops for hours before help arrived.

"We are concentrating on massive relief operations. [But] the system is overwhelmed, local government units are overwhelmed," said National Disaster Coordinating Council deputy administrator Anthony Golez to reporters Monday.

Flood waters in some areas subsided on Monday, but thousands of homes are still reported to be without power.

The government has appealed for international humanitarian assistance. Vilma Cabrera, assistant secretary of the Department of Social Welfare and Development of the Philippines, said Monday her agency needs donations of basic necessities.

"Right now we need mats, blankets, mosquito nets, cooking utensils. We need hygiene kits and we need flashlights and lighting equipment," said Cabrera.

"We are appealing for international humanitarian assistance," said the Secretary of National Defense of the Philippines, Gilberto Teodoro. "The potential for a more serious situation is there and we cannot wait for that to happen."

The United States donated about US$100,000 to the Philippines after the disaster, as well as deploying twenty US soldiers on five rubber boats and a helicopter. China and Japan gave $140,000 and $220,000 respectively for humanitarian disaster assistance to victims. Australia provided A$1 million and Thailand is providing medical staff and supplies. The World Food Programme and the UNICEF have both donated food and other materials.

People have been warned about the danger of water-borne diseases. Philippine schools have been closed until Tuesday, and many offices remained closed.

Storms lash the Philippines every year. Typhoon Ketsana, although not one of the strongest, brought very large amounts of rain. In Manila Saturday, a month's worth of rain fell in just 12 hours.

Jobs neglects to touch on the fact that the majority of the iPhone apps are novelty programs like on-screen lighters and fart simulators, and only a small handful serve any useful purpose. Just as their commercials claim, there's an app for just about everything -- including things you don't need and will probably never use.

This is amazing!!
is really someting of gargantuion proportions that its all over the place! The new IPhone this and cases that and im pretty sure that at least one half of America is facinated with this wonderous machine!!!!!

Officials report 29 rebels killed in Yemen after clashes

September 29, 2009

Yemeni media have said that clashes between local fighters and government forces in the southern part of the country have killed at least 29 Shi'ite rebels.

Military sources said that the army opened fire at the rebels in Harf Sufyan. Officials have said that some rebel leaders, among them Abdullah Ali al-Qallat, were among those killed.

In southern Yemen, SABA news agency reported that separatist rebels opened fire on troops, which prompted the Yemeni army to retaliate.

After the clashes on Tuesday, security forces arrested about 30 people who they say are connected to criminal activity. There was no independent confirmation of the reports.

127 of the rebels, also referred to as Huthis, were arrested since the offensive started in mid-August.

SABA reported that 44 of those were referred to Yemeni courts on grounds of "killing and aggression" against the authorities.

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 John P Quinn. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name John P Quinn~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.

Murder charge dropped against US Marine who admitted killing Iraqi detainee

September 29, 2009

A charge of murder brought against a US Marine who shot an unarmed Iraqi detainee has been dropped, despite the fact he admitted knowing the killing was wrong. Jermaine Nelson reached a plea deal that avoids jail time.

Nelson pleaded guilty to one count of dereliction of duty after shooting the man in Fallujah on the orders of his superior. He has arranged a deal whereby he will not serve jail time and will receive an honourable discharge. The maximum possible sentence would have been one year's jail and a dishonourable discharge, compared to life imprisonment for murder.

Nelson had entered a house in 2004 when his squad captured four men. Sgt. Jose Luis Nazario then ordered the men killed. "I knew it was wrong, I knew it was unlawful," said Nelson. The case came to light after one of the group told a US Secret Service member of an illegal killing he had been involved in. Ryan Weemer was cleared at his court martial despite his confession to the agent, his defense claiming one prisoner had made a grab at his weapon.

Jose Nazario also stood trial for manslaughter in a civilian court. Prosecutors alleged he shot two detainees and then ordered the other two to be killed. However, he was found not guilty when the other two refused to testify against him; they were found to be in contempt of court.
