Canadian government announces major tax reductions

October 31, 2007

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

The planned tax reduction measures include:

 * Low-end personal income tax rates would be reduced from 15.5% to 15%, taking retroactive effect to the start of 2007;
 * The basic personal exemption, the amount at which income is taxable, is raised from C$8,929 to C$9,600, also backdated to January 2007;
 * Business tax rates are expected regularly drop from the current 20.5% to 15% in 2012;
 * The Goods and Services Tax that applies to most purchases would be reduced from 6% to 5% as 2008 begins. This rate was previously reduced from 7% July 2006, shortly after Prime Minister Stephen Harper took office.

These measures will be brought before the House of Commons in Ottawa on Wednesday as a confidence motion. In Canada's minority government situation, opposition parties could defeat these measures and likely prompt an election. However, opposition leader Stéphane Dion has expressed an unwillingness to defeat the government on this matter.

5.6 earthquake strikes California

October 31, 2007 According to the United States Geological Survey (USGS) a magnitude 5.6 earthquake, lasting about 30 seconds, struck at 20:04:54 (PDT) on October 30, 2007, with the epicenter being five miles north, northeast of Alum Rock California and nine 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 had been reported by 8:35 p.m with magnitudes ranging from 1.3 to 1.8.

Phone service, including cellular phone service, was reported to be down in some areas around the epicenter. Residents and business owners also reported their homes shaking.

According to the USGS, damage could be "moderate to heavy" and Rafael Abreu of the USGS said that the earthquake is considered "moderate," but so far there are "no injuries." The quake was reported at a depth of 9.2 km (5.7 miles).

USGS predicts a 30% chance of strong (magnitude >5) aftershocks in the next seven days, with a 5-10% probability of aftershocks stronger than the main quake. Additionally, USGS predicts approximately 15-40 small (magnitude 3-5) aftershocks.

The USGS reports that the quake was centered on the Calaveras Fault, and was the most powerful earthquake on that fault since the 1984 Morgan Hill earthquake.

I was wandering around in a "Maize" (corn field maze) at the Ardenwood Historic Farm in Fremont (approx 15 miles northwest of the epicenter). None of our party of appox. ten people claimed to feel the quake (which presumably happened while we were running around and jostling one another among the corn stalks). There were a few hundred other people running around the maze at the time and no one else seemed to notice either. (All of the screams seem to have been from kids being "scared" by friends and by the hallowe'en costumed employees of the "Maize" attraction). About have of our party received calls on their cell phones (asking about the quake) and most of those reports referred to Palo Alto. So the shaking and such as felt more strongly in parts of Palo Alto than in the area of Fremont we were in. (Palo Alto is about twice as far from the epicenter, and across the Bay from the epicenter). A few of our party and a few others in the maze complained of "all circuits busy" problems with their cell phones. That's the extent of the outage so far as I saw it. (Perhaps an hour later I received voice mail from my boss and was able to return his call from my Verizon with no issues).JimD 18:19, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

I felt it
I was (visiting) in Fremont and there was a most impressive and extremely noticeable rattling and shaking of the house followed by a swaying, on-water feeling for a few minutes. The noise approximated someone tossing four or five, really really large, filled bookshelves off one story onto a lower floor which was above us... multiple times. Keith Crossley

Dunno how many of these are actually geologically related. Someone who actually knows this stuff please speak up. Sai Emrys  ¿?   ✍  04:03, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

 * I live 5 miles from the epicenter and had loud shaking in my house but only a few small items knocked over. I can help point out that only the quakes listed as relative to Alum Rock, CA and Milpitas, CA are related to the 5.6 shock.  California is a big state - none of the others are even close by. Ikluft 05:40, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Quakes can also be far away (e.g. opposite side of the earth) yet be geologically related (e.g. on the same fault line). Hence why asking for an expert. Sai Emrys   ¿?   ✍  06:08, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

 * Well, you asked for anyone who knows the area to speak up. I did.  I can help show you what's on the same fault line (the Calaveras Fault) on this map: http://quake.usgs.gov/recenteqs/FaultMaps/122-37.htm  You'll see that except for some normal little 0.x and 1.x background noise, all the quakes on the same fault were aftershocks.  So far the largest aftershock was a 2.2 at 1:05AM. As for sources WikiNews will accept as related quakes, you can pretty much just count on the aftershocks - anything else will be a waste of time.  Nothing has looked abnormal in recent years there.  That segment of the fault was quiet and now it broke.  Ikluft 08:48, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

I believe that "MAP    5.6     2007/10/31 03:04:54     37.432  -121.776        9.2       8 km ( 5 mi) NNE of Alum Rock, CA" is the 5.6 big earthquake. —170.138.100.250 00:04, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

Comments:5.6 earthquake strikes California

Felt it all the way here from Merced, CA SO SHUT UP WE DONT RALLY CARE

I'm dubious about whether the phone lines were actually down. I think the Mercury is mistaken (wouldn't be anywhere near the first time, after all).

Rather, I think it was simply that the number of calls being made at the time backed up the phone lines. There's only so many 'are you OK?' calls a telecommunications infrastructure can handle at any one point in time!

As of the current time, the time of the quake is being reported as having happened in the future. 69.242.77.47 01:13, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
 * That has been fixed with the mention of October 30. --SVTCobra 01:30, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

san francisco bay area 5.6 magnitude earthquake
very rare to have an earthquake like this in the south bay area, judging by the damage looks like this quake was very brief. Hope everyone is ok, here in England we get quakes like that occasionally aswell scary stuff.

 * Not rare at all. Quakes like that occur in all parts of the Bay Area. 76.212.12.255 05:15, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

 * Do you even live in the Bay Area? A 5.6 quake lasting for 30 seconds is NOT rare in the Bay Area...this was the largest quake since Loma Prieta in 1989--76.21.32.2 05:15, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

im a big loser nobody cares wat i say and i just wrote this to sound cool!! Gay GAy GAy Fat ass loser who lives on his mommas couch!!! "im so cool" he says but blah blah blah WHO CARES!!

North American Daylight Saving Time to end on November 4

October 31, 2007 According to the National Institute of Standards and Technology, Daylight Saving Time will end on November 4, 2007 at 2:00 a.m. local time for most of the United States and Canada.

This change is different from previous years due to a U.S. mandated daylight saving time change, which was caused by the Energy Policy Act of 2005.

The next change to regular Daylight Saving Time will be in 2038.

Comments:Vitamin D deficiency more common, serious, than thought

don't like title, but getting the news out is the main thing
The current title is:Vitamin D deficiency more common, researchers say. This title doesn't reflect the first paragraph well-which tells the benefits of Vitamin D and thus the gravity of a deficiency, before telling about deficiency rates. In addition, I now think there needs to be a transitional phrase(such as "in addition") to start the sentence currently beginning:They say there is an emerging consensus... The reason I'm not making any changes though I originated the article is I'm a newbie, I don't know much about stylistic guidelines etc. Regards,130.86.14.87 05:12, 31 October 2007 (UTC)Richard L.

World champion Boston Red Sox hold "rolling rally"; many more could be on the way

October 31, 2007 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.

The event was a "rolling rally", a term coined to describe the Red Sox victory parade in 2004, which had seen the Sox win their first World Series in over 86 years. The current players of the their team made their way up the road, with current team owners John W. Henry and Tom Werner and president Larry Lucchino, who were followed by General Manager Theo Epstein and Manager Terry Francona, both of whom had their own boat.

The rally chugged along, as airplanes carrying banners congratulating the Red Sox flew over, with the duck boats filled with the team and it's supporters and even one for the Red Sox players of yesteryear, Dom DiMaggio and Johnny Pesky. Kyle Snyder held up the trophy for all on Boylston Street to gaze at the reward the Sox fought so hard for. Catcher and team captain, Jason Varitek waved a sign encouraging team management to re-sign third baseman and World Series MVP, Mike Lowell. The crowd greeted this with enthusiasm leading to cheers of "Re-sign Lowell!" However, Jonathan Papelbon was not on a duck boat, he was on a flatbed truck playing air guitar with a broom with local Celtic punk stars, the Dropkick Murphys, who first gained notoriety in 2004, with a reworking of the old Boston Red Sox fan song, Tessie, which became the rallying cry for the 2004 season. The band gained either further recognition when their song I'm Shipping Up to Boston, which based on lyrics written by Woody Guthrie, was featured in the soundtrack of the Academy Award-winning Best Picture The Departed. Papelbon chose the song as his to play when taking the field and became a huge hit with the crowd after performing a Irish step dance to the song after winning the AL East title in the beginning of the month and performing it again after winning both the ALCS and the World Series. Papelbon was joined by fellow pitchers, Hideki Okijima and Mike Timlin.

This may not be the last rolling rally Boston will see this year, currently the Foxborough, Massachusetts based American football team New England Patriots are currently undefeated in the NFL and appear at this time to be headed to another Super Bowl and possibly to becoming the second NFL team in the league's history to go undefeated an entire season. The other team that went undefeated was the 1972 Miami Dolphins team.

In college football, the Boston College Eagles are also undefeated and are currently ranked number two in the NCAA. Meanwhile, the Boston Celtics who seemed to have lost another chance after drawing 5th in the NBA draft lottery are currently doing very well with their two new stars, Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett both acquired in trades. Even the lowly Major League Soccer team, the New England Revolution are in the running for the MLS Cup this year. The year also seems to be going good for the Boston Bruins so far. However, the Bruins' center, Patrice Bergeron suffered a serve concussion after being checked and sent into the boards, Bergeron had to miss a dinner in honor of him due to the concussion.

Judge delivers verdicts in 2004 Madrid train bombing trial

October 31, 2007 The Audiencia Nacional of Spain (National Court of Spain) has found 21 of 28 defendants guilty in connection with the 2004 Madrid train bombings.

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.

Chief Judge Javier Gomez Bermudez read the verdicts which came after three months of deliberations.

Jamal Zougam, Otman el Ghanoui and Emilio Trashorras were found guilty of murder. The three were given sentences of 42,924 years in prison, although the most one can serve in Spain is 40 years. As far as the other guilty verdicts, no one was given more than 23 years for their part in the crime.

Rabei Osman Sayed Ahmed, aka "Mohamed the Egyptian", was acquitted although he is serving a ten-year sentence in Italy on other terrorism charges. Jose Maria de Pablos, spokesman for a victims' association, said: "We're very surprised by the acquittal. If it wasn't them, we have to find out who it was. Somebody gave the order."

"I'm not a judge or a lawyer but this is shameful, outrageous," said Isabel Presa, who lost her youngest son in one of the explosions. She told journalists of her outrage at what she thought were lenient sentences.

The 2004 Madrid train bombings (also known in Spain as 11-M) consisted of a series of coordinated bombings against the Cercanías (commuter train) system of Madrid, Spain on the morning of March 11, 2004, killing 191 people and wounding 2,050.

Talk:World champion Boston Red Sox hold "rolling rally"; many more could be on the way

OR notes
More or less I was the parade today and watched the whole thing and got these nice photos, I more or less recalled the whole event from memory. Sources are included however, just to be on the safe side and provide extra information, but what is in this article is what I saw from my vantage point at the parade and recalled from memory, more or less, the entertaining parts, with Papelbon jigging and Varitek hold the "Re sign lowell" sign.

The last two paragraphs are also recalled from memory, I did see a headline mentioned a few days ago, but I never read it, but if you take the time to look at the stats so far, there's alot of ground basis for what I wrote on the Patriots and other teams. Anways, good night... It's almost 5am. --TUFKAAP 08:21, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Plus, the lack of OR notes was because I posted them under Comments:World champion Boston Red Sox hold "rolling rally"; many more could be on the way by mistake. --TUFKAAP 15:32, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

Halloween events banned at Moscow schools

October 31, 2007 Schools in Moscow, Russia have been told by the city's department of education to not allow any Halloween-related events.

Alexander Gavrilov, press secretary of the education department, told Interfax, "The department's stance has remained invariable since 2003, when the leadership of the department sent a letter to Moscow principals, which bans holding Halloween events at their schools."

Gavrilov further said that the ban is because this holiday "includes religious elements, including the cult of death, the mockery of death, personification of death and evil, which contradict the secular nature of state educational institutions."

"This is destructive for the minds and the spiritual and moral health of pupils," he said. "It's not an attempt to block the celebration of this holiday completely, just in schools and colleges."

One of these days I'm going to have to write a boilerplate bio to put on all of this kind of site. Here's the gist.

Mythological Beast usually refers to Robert Rapplean. Robert is one of those people who just has to know how the world works. He was taught assembly language when he was 10 to help his dad debug firmware for a robot he was building, and has had an undying fascination with science and technology ever since. His perpetual curiosity has resulted in a strong founding in all of the physical sciences and many of the social ones. He is currently employed as a software engineer, but pursues a broad range of activities including political analysis, kempo, philosophy, podcasting, sociological engineering, 3D modeling, more programming, and educating the masses, not necessarily in that order.

Robert is one of the creators of the Intellectual Icebergs podcast.

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 Mythobeast. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Mythobeast~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 23:19, 17 March 2015 (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 Balancer. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Balancer~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.

Crude oil passes US$94.00 a barrel; sets new all-time record high

October 31, 2007

Another record has been set in crude oil prices. The price of oil soared past US$94.00 a barrel. New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX) crude oil for December delivery closed at US$94.23 per barrel, after peaking at $94.74, the highest price on record. In after hours trading futures have crossed over the $95.00 per barrel mark.

On the IntercontinentalExchange (ICE), December Brent Crude also rose to a record $90.63 after touching an all-time high of $90.94 with current futures are trading at over $91.00 a barrel.

Today's rise is said to be mainly caused by the United States Department of Energy's inventory report that showed an unexpected drop in crude oil stockpiles. Last week, U.S. stockpiles were down nearly four million barrels of oil.

Tropical Storm Noel is also believed to be a cause of rising prices. Because of the storm, one-fifth of Mexico's oil production was suspended while the storm passed, but production is expected to resume by the end of today.

Comments:Supposed image of the Virgin Mary found on pebble

Looks like Santa to me
It looks like Santa Claus to me. Captain Infinity 19:49, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

I think it looks like a faceless eskimo

Why Mary?
Why does everyone seem to assume that whenever you see a vaguely woman-like figure on something, it's got to be the Virgin Mary? There aren't even any facial features visible on that, it could be Athena for all can tell.

Incorrect section
This should NOT be in the science and technology section. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.102.0.170 (talk) 21:47, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

Two Lordi fans mugged while manager and bodyguard were shot at in Louisville, US

October 31, 2007 It has been reported recently by Blabbermouth and DotMusic.com that two fans of Finnish theatrical hard rock band Lordi were robbed at gunpoint on Friday in Louisville, Kentucky, United States and the band's manager as well as a bodyguard were shot at. No-one was injured.

Following a gig in Louisville the band had split up, with three of the members going to a nearby bar for a drink. Lead vocalist Mr. Lordi, his wife, and keyboardist Awa had entered the tour bus, while manager Rikk Scholvinck and a bodyguard were escorting two fans towards the bus.

According to those at the scene, a van pulled up next to the bus and several youths emerged, at least one of which was carrying a gun. Mr Lordi describes what happened next: "One of the men with a gun took a fan, a girl, put the gun to her head and forced her to lie down on the ground. Also one of the boys froze on the spot while the others fled away, including Rikk and the bodyguard while another man started shooting at them. Luckily he missed and no one was hurt. Rikk ran to the bar and called the police who arrived soon. In a moment we were surrounded by like five police cars but the guys managed to escape. They were a group of drug addicts that had stolen the car earlier that night, and police were already looking for them but have still not managed to catch them."

"The girl that was held at gunpoint is obviously very shocked. We did our best to comfort and calm her down, but one can only wonder what could happen when people start running around with guns and even using them! It is a bit amusing that the boy fan was just happy he didn't lose the t-shirt he was wearing with all the autographs on it, even if they both lost everything else."

Both the fans were given lifelong all access passes to Lordi concerts worldwide to compensate.

Lordi has had previous altercations with criminals in the US. Earlier this year the bus the band was using for their tour as part of Ozzfest was hijacked with several of the technical crew on board. During the same tour, two other fans were also robbed. "This was like a deja vú of that, once again we were surrounded by police cars and their flashing lights," Mr Lordi commented.
