A spokesman for Burger King released a statement after Hees' comments were reported by the US press. "Mr. Hees apologises if his comment has offended anyone. It [...] was intended as a humorous anecdote to connect with his audience," the statement said.

Hees' remarks have caused controversy in the United Kingdom. , who is a women's campaign officer at the University of Warwick said that "[i]f he views women as potential distractions in academia, I wonder how he views them in the workplace?"

Libyan government forces capture eastern town from rebels

March 13, 2011

Libyan government troops have captured the seaport of as they continue to move east through the country.

Over the past several days, government troops have captured several previously rebel-held areas, including the town of on Saturday. In Sunday's events, government forces reportedly used air strikes and shelling against rebel forces, who retreated in the direction of Benghazi, with government forces in pursuit.

A Libyan military source said on state television that "Brega has been cleansed of armed gangs." A rebel involved in the fighting in Brega said that "There’s no uprising any more. The other day we were in Ras Lanuf, then Brega, the day after tomorrow they will be in Benghazi."

As government forces move east, morale among rebel forces is claimed to be low by the government. A military spokesperson said that rebels "are people who when we come to them raise their hands and give up."

Internationally, calls for a no-fly zone over Libya are increasing. The Arab League voted on Saturday for a no-fly zone, while France has said it will increase its efforts to persuade the international community put one in place.

Thread:Comments:Honey bee decline spreading globally/Comments from feedback form - "Does anyone recognize the corr..."/reply

Some people, even scientists, recognize the correlation with cell phone broadcasts and declining bee populations. There were studies done in Europe that showed bees would not return to their hives if an active cell phone was placed near the hive. I cannot quote who did this research, but it shouldn't be too hard to find online. If this is true, it becomes obvious why the mainstream news does not carry this story. The mainstream news is owned/controlled/bought by the same corporations that sell cell phones. It would be economically disastrous for the cell phone companies to lift the blackout on stories blaming cell phone towers for the decrease in bee populations and therefore the ignorance demonstrated by humanity as a whole shall continue to cause its own demise in this regard and many others.

Talk:Al Jazeera cameraman dies in eastern Libya

Article has been merged with Qatari cameraman shot dead in Libya; information and sources has been added. Title has been change as the "Qatari" aspect was the least important fact, and led me to overlook the article when I was writing my own. The important point was that he worked for Al Jazeera as the rest of the article follows from that. Regards, Mattisse (talk) 03:56, 14 March 2011 (UTC)

Review of revision 1194349 [Failed]
I tried  titling it "shot dead" and "killed" instead of "murdered" but the page move would not let me do it. I will try to think of another headline that does not use "murdered", "shot dead" or "killed". Do you have any ideas? Mattisse (talk) 15:12, 14 March 2011 (UTC)

 * Only wording page move accepts is "died" which is unsatisfactory and doesn't convey the incident. Mattisse (talk) 15:19, 14 March 2011 (UTC)

He is a trained soldier and surely knows how to kill (including himself) in several ways we cannot imagine. I’m not American, but I do think he has done the wrong thing giving away secrets he was supposed to keep. I do not think people who are defending him would keep as a friend a person that told everybody (literally everybody) something that was told as a secret for an intimate (supposed) friend. As of the treatment he is submitted, of course, I’m against torture, inhuman treatment etc, but if the guy make such a joke as described by his lawyer, he is not that nervous, is it?

Oh, and it lists informants & Al Qaeda has publicly said they're going over all the leaks w/ a fine tooth comb. & Assange has said he would release a "life insurance" leak if he was extradited. -You familiar w/ the term: "Extortion?"

Libyan rebels retake town of Brega

March 14, 2011

A day after Libyan government forces captured the town of in eastern Libya, rebels claim they have retaken control of the area.

Only hours after rebel forces were reported to have left the town, they issued claims that they again controlled Brega, having killed or captured several government troops. A group of special forces reportedly were responsible for capturing the town during Sunday night.

According to a rebel leader, "[t]he exact information that we have today ... is that the revolutionaries have taken back Brega and then they captured more than 70 soldiers belonging to Gadhafi troops."

As the violence continues, calls for a no-fly zone over Libya are increasing. The Arab League voted on Saturday for a no-fly zone, while France has said it will increase its efforts to persuade the international community put one in place.

Like seriously what does one expect? If Cuba sent someone to the States to help promote the cause of the working classes (Or some bs-y line like that that amounted to supporting insurrection) the reaction would be similarly harsh.

British pathologist criticised by General Medical Council

March 15, 2011

Dr Freddy Patel, a former British Home Office pathologist, has been criticised by a panel at the (GMC), Britain's regulatory body for doctors. Dr Patel had concluded that the death of Sally White in 2002, the first victim of (the so-called "Camden Ripper"), could have been from natural causes.

The report produced by Dr Patel concluded that Sally White had been having consensual sex in her apartment when she died of a heart attack, in spite of blood stains on her clothing, blood at the scene, damage to Ms White's liver and bite marks. The GMC panel found that Dr Patel had included inaccurate information on his CV and had shown "deficient professional performance" in the evaluation of the cause of Sally White's death. They concluded that this investigation was "irresponsible, not of the standard expected of a competent forensic pathologist and liable to bring the medical profession into disrepute". Dr Patel is currently suspended and the decision of the panel may lead to him being struck off.

The GMC had previously investigated Dr Patel and criticised his investigation of the, a newspaper seller who died during the G20 protests in London. He concluded that the death was caused by coronary heart disease; subsequent investigations by other pathologists showed that he had died from internal bleeding caused by a blunt force trauma — an assault by a police officer caught on video. The Director of Public Prosecution noted afterwards that the mistakes in the forensic pathology report by Dr Patel had made it significantly harder to bring the police officer who fatally assaulted Ian Tomlinson to justice. Dr Patel has also been investigated by the GMC for alleged misconduct in the investigation of the deaths of two children.

Wikinews:Water cooler/proposals/archives/2011/February

Wikinews:Wikinews Press Photo 2011
So, You are welcome to nominate the best photos in pl and other Wikinews used in articles in 2010. Przykuta (talk) 23:12, 27 January 2011 (UTC)
 * We have the final round. Let's choose the best photo: pl:Wikinews:Wikinews Press Photo 2011/Finał. Best regards. Przykuta (talk) 23:11, 11 February 2011 (UTC)

Cut back on leads.
I propose that we cut the back the leads on the main page from 5 to 3. Right now, with our current output... 5 leads is a bit too much, articles have been sitting on the main page for up to 96 hours as I saw a week or two ago. I don't propose that and  be deleted, but just taken off the main page and made inactive until our output returns to better levels which warrants having 5 leads. --Patrick M (TUFKAAP) (talk) 22:34, 11 February 2011 (UTC)
 * We just did that, briefly. Three doesn't work very well, being not flexible enough, so that the moment our output goes up even momentarily, we want five again; and manually toggling the number of leads between three and five is clumsy.

 * I suggest that for now, we take the time we would spend discussing this, and instead spend it writing and reviewing articles. Thus raising our output.  (I made that mistake myself, above (not, not above; it was on the policy water cooler); better to spend time solving the problem than treating the symptom.)  --Pi zero (talk) 23:11, 11 February 2011 (UTC)

 * How about if the output falls below five articles, we switch to using two blank articles for Lead 4 and Lead 5? -- kamnet (talk) 08:27, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

Op-Ed? I recommend...
I understand why Wikinews would want to keep opinion out of it's venue, though the redirect to blogging is a little bit insulting. Wikimedia has proliferated from Wikipedia to many other application sites. Why not a "Wikioped," "Wikiopinion," "Wikinewsanalysis," or similar?

Wikimedia authorities or delegated administrators at such a site could/should then ride herd on unmitigated entries. The first stage of any such site would be noisy, but would also be ruled by you. With a little time and astute administration, a second stage of site life would occur: Several opinionmakers--new, reliable, diverse, uncompensated/unbeholden--probably would emerge from the cacophony. Though clearly an advantage of web-based media is an ability to inject new apps and evolve quickly with technology or information substance, I envision a third, more settled stage. In the third stage, Wikioped (or Wikiopinion, or other name as appropriate) would retain a set of regular contributors for about two-thirds of content, with one-third invited guests based on closer scrutiny (perhaps submission of a trial entry and CV/bio). In all cases, previously well-established op-ed writers and columnists could be excluded--unless they choose to go primarily independent, frequently with "Wikiopinion," and with only weak ties to any other outlet.

A potential co-evolved path could include a "Wikiforum," which would be a place for comments ruled by Wikimedia administrators. Don't you get sick of wading through the unfiltered b.s. on all the news comments pages, or forum discussion sites, or even blogs to find only a few good nuggets? I do, and so do many others. And though there are some discussion sites, particularly some very good blogs, mostly they are now little more than a vent for blowhards to release pressure into. "Wikiforum" could be the gold standard instead. Professional journalism and media outlets online count on those others being shallow, poorly informed, and noisy, so they stand apart from that crowd. Wikipedia and other Wikimedia sites have successfully use certain dynamics available only to online media in order to establish the reputation as the best reference source among sources, a gold standard of sorts. I believe the same could work for Wikiopinion.

Much of the rules for a Wikiopinion plus Wikiforum (or a merged pair) could be written into terms of service, and evolve right along with the overall learning curve.

The three stage Wikiopinion evolution, plus "Wikiforum," could take six months or three years, but odds are it would happen sooner than later. I believe this to be another potential Wikimedia win-win -- "build it and they will come." It would provide something valuable and currently unavailable: A collective place for new, good voices (and only good comments) about the news.
 * I don't think a "Wikiopinion" project will ever occur, at least not by Wikimedia's side. Note the strong neutral point of view policy the foundation has (not linking to the official one, but this one works anyway). --Diego Grez return fire 01:29, 17 February 2011 (UTC)

 * Who within WMF decides what is good and not good? What standards are used? I can tell you now exactly how it will go down. Somebody will get popular with one type of view point. Those who disagree will demand equal footing and opportunity to respond. Supporters of both sides will break out in flame wars. Eventually somebody is going to say something that is over-the-top and it will require a moderator to put a stop to it. At that moment people will then start accusing the moderators of being biased and will demand that they be removed and replaced with somebody less biased, which will then result in others targeting WMF and claiming that they're taking away the free speech rights of others and that they should be boycotted until some sort of "justice" is done. Once the mob leaves, the site will be finished and a former shell of itself.

 * On the upside, maybe Rush Limbaugh or Keith Olbermann will take a swipe at it and drive some traffic to the site. ;-) -- kamnet (talk) 08:25, 21 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Wikinews does not do editorials, op-eds, reviews, trashy gossip or other such nonsense. You want that? Lease some hosting and write what you like there; you devoted sufficient excess verbiage asking for something forbidden by policy to make a couple of articles. --Brian McNeil / talk 08:33, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

move "Share this" to top ?
right now on articles, the "Share this:" box is at the bottom of the page (email, facebook, reddit, etc)

should we move it to the top?

im thinking it might encourage more use?

also, maybe move twitter to before or after facebook, seeing as how popular twitter is at the moment?

also, why doesnt wikipedia have a "share this" at the top of its articles? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.166.117.72 (talk • contribs) 03:36, 22 February 2011

 * Please sign your posts so we can more easily see who makes suggestions? :-)

 * I just tried the social bookmarking tool and I noticed an issue. Twitter is converting the '+' sign to a space, and articles are not being properly linked by Twitter. Users may try to remove the space, considering it a typo, and won't be able to reach the article. Can we either eliminate the plus sign or find a way to make sure Twitter encodes it? -- kamnet (talk) 20:45, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

Don't move it to the top. -- Rayboy8 ( my talk ) ( my contributions ) 21:42, 22 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Why not? That would help us attracting more users (and attention), perhaps in a similar box, but more compact, at the right of the title. Diego Grez return fire 21:45, 22 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Putting the share at the top won't attract more users, and is a massive undertaking. Content should always take precedence; and, the social bookmarks template is included through the published template. Any change to reposition involves editing every article, or editing ultra-high usage templates, thus forcing a huge database update on every single article. Lastly, the logical position is at the end; people should not be sharing something they've not read. --Brian McNeil / talk 22:41, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

Japan earthquake death toll estimated at over 10,000

March 15, 2011

The official death toll from the devastating Japanese earthquake that hit on Friday is now nearing 1,900, while police officials say that it is all but certain the final toll will be at least 10,000 people dead.

Bodies are still being recovered—2,000 thus far in the alone. The official count of those missing has now reached 2,300, though in one town alone, an estimated half of the 17,000 person population is still unaccounted for. Approximately 350,000 people have been left without homes; shelters are providing housing for the moment.

Due to infrastructure damage, survivors in the hard-hit northeast coast of Japan are coping with limited resources, including food, water and electricity. In the, a government official stated that the incoming goods from relief efforts are only about ten percent of what is necessary.

At the, a second explosion occurred on Monday at the building housing Reactor 3, following an explosion Saturday at the Reactor 1 building. Reactor 2 was also reported to have difficulties with its cooling system.

Thread:Comments:Burger King CEO insults British women during speech to students/Reasonableness/reply

Burger king CEO insults English women and this warrants a Wikinews article?

Family Guy and other shows on Television must have done this hundreds of times.

Meg: "You could murder all the girls prettier than me." Death: "No, that would just leave England"

As an American I don't get insults when somebody says Americans are fat. I know it's a stereotype and they aren't talking about me personally. (I weight about 80 Kgs and am 185 cm Tall). Furthermore, I think it's a hilarious joke.

English women being ugly is obviously the same thing. Look at girls like Kiera Knightly, Micha Barton, Kate Beckinsale, etc. etc. etc. It's a joke that's been around for a while and people should just get over it. It's said to be funny, not to offend. If you take something as offensive that was intended to entertain, then you perhaps need the attitude adjustment.

Middle Eastern troops enter Bahrain after protests

March 15, 2011

Troops from Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates have arrived in Bahrain at the government's request after major protests on Sunday.

An estimated 1,000 Saudi Arabian troops entered the country early Monday, followed by around 500 troops from the UAE. The troops entered as part of a broader deployment by the (GCC), a regional group of six countries. It is unclear what purpose the troops are serving, though speculation is that they will guard major infrastructure facilities.

, the leading opposition party, said it considered "the entry of any soldier or military machinery into the Kingdom of Bahrain's air, sea or land territories a blatant occupation" and that the presence of foreign troops "puts the Bahraini people in real danger, and threatens them with an undeclared war by armed troops."

Statements from the US government, a major Bahrain ally, said that "[t]his is not an invasion of a country" and that it urged both the Bahrain government and the GCC "to exercise restraint" and "act in a way that supports dialogue instead of undermining it."

An official of Iranian Foreign Ministry also criticized the Saudi invasion of Bahrain, saying "it is surprising to see that immediately after the recent trip of the US Defense Secretary [Robert Gates] we see the intensified use of violence against the people of Bahrain."

The intervention came a day after the country saw the worst protests since February, as several dozen people were injured in clashes with police.

After more searching, I've got the BBC saying it might be 16 cm (no source cited, just a meteorologist's blog), USA Today says it's 6.5 in (that's a bit more than 10 cm, isn't it, and no source cited) and one of the sources in this article manages to contradict itself, it says in part 10 cm and later 25 inches, both from different guys.

Third explosion at Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant

March 14, 2011

An explosion was reported at 0610 local time Tuesday morning at the 's second reactor. The blast is feared to have breached the pressure chamber.

The explosion is thought to have been in the reactor's "pressure suppression room" — part of the cooling system. It damaged the area that contains water to cool the reactor, but it is not yet clear whether it affected the containment structure near the core.

Government officials have said that there was limited damage as a result of the explosion, and efforts to cool the reactor would go on, but nuclear industry executives in Japan have said that the situation is far worse, and other unnamed officials said the containment structure had been damaged, but did not say to what extent. In the wake of the explosion, officials at the (TEPCO), the plant's operator, said for the first time a partial meltdown could be taking place within the reactor.

After the explosion, radiation levels near the facility rose from 1,941 to 8,712, a level still short of that required to cause immediate health effects, and radiation decreased again some time after the explosion. The legal limit for radiation in one year is a thousand microseiverts, but radiation sickness does not occur until a million microseiverts.

Prior to the explosion the fuel rods in the reactor reported to again be exposed after the pressure valve closed at 11pm local time, preventing pumping in cooling water.

"The reactor containment vessel, which is the last line of defence to contain the radiation, this may have experienced some damage...it seems that there are damages at several different places of these walls around radioactive substances." [excerpted from live translation transcription by CNN of NHK coverage of press conference, stream]

According to TEPCO, all but 50 employees of the plant were evacuated after the incident.

Workers at the 40-year old plant have been struggling to deal with the aftermath of Friday's massive earthquake and tsunami. On Saturday, a hydrogen explosion occurred at the number one reactor, followed by a second explosion on Sunday to the number three reactor. The number two reactor was reported to be overheating, with exposed fuel rods, earlier today. Nearly 185,000 people have been evacuated from the 20 km zone around the plant.

Dying Canadian infant moved to U.S. hospital for medical treatment

March 15, 2011

A thirteen-month-old Canadian infant dying from a unknown neurological condition was transferred Sunday night from a Canadian hospital, where he had received treatment since October 2010, to a U.S. hospital. In January, a Canadian Superior Court judge had ruled that the Canadian hospital could remove the infant's against the parents' wishes and issued a  order.

According to court documents, Joseph Maraachli, known as "Baby Joseph", has been repeatedly diagnosed as in a with no hope of recovery after suffering an episode of "" at age six months. At that time, an showed "a reduction in brain size associated with cells dying from metabolic stress." He stopped breathing in October and was hospitalized at  (LHSC) where he remained until Sunday. A panel of five pediatric clinic and three neurology physicians subsequently concluded that "there will be no recovery and no treatment options exist for this progressive ."

The infant's parents, Moe Maraachli and Sana Nader, wanted Joseph to receive a, which combined with mechanical breathing devices, would allow him to  be transferred home,  his family acting as care givers. Several years previously, the Maraachli's  daughter had  died of a similar neuro-degenerative condition. They used their daughter, Zina, as an example. After doctors performed a tracheotomy on her, she returned home for several months before returning to die at the hospital. This time hospital refused to perform a tracheotomy on Joseph  because there was no hope of recovery. After the judge ruled in the hospital's favor in January, pressure against the hospital intensified and the hospital received threats.

The case has generated controversy primarily from groups such as the,  (PFL), and the  who represents the parents. The parents transferred the infant to the in, Missouri to obtain a second opinion. PFL nation director,, traveled to Canada Sunday night to aid in the transfer. He said in a press release: "After around-the-clock negotiations, this really became a race against time."

After successfully moving Joseph to the St. Louis hospital, Father Pavena said, "Now that we have won the battle against the medical bureaucracy in Canada, the real work of saving Baby Joseph can begin."

Fukushima reactor suffers multiple fires, radiation leak confirmed

March 15, 2011 Fires broke out at the Fukushima Daiichi plant's No. 4 reactor in Japan on Tuesday, according to the Tokyo Electric Power Company. The first fire caused a leak of concentrated radioactive material, according to the Japanese prime minister, Naoto Kan.

The first fire broke out at 9:40 a.m. local time on Tuesday, and was thought to have been put out, but another fire was discovered early on Wednesday, believed to have started because the earlier one had not been fully extinguished.

In a televised statement, the prime minister told residents near the plant that "I sincerely ask all citizens within the 20 km distance from the reactor to leave this zone." He went on to say that "[t]he radiation level has risen substantially. The risk that radiation will leak from now on has risen."

Kan warned residents to remain indoors and to shut windows and doors to avoid radiation poisoning.

The French Embassy in Japan reports that the radiation will reach Tokyo in 10 hours, with current wind speeds.

Talk:Dying Canadian infant moved to U.S. hospital for medical treatment

POV concerns
This article appears to present a single POV regarding the issues surrounding the story, and may be borderline advocacy of a religious belief as opposed to a balanced and neutral report of the news event. -  Amgine | t 05:17, 15 March 2011 (UTC)
 * I agree. In the feedback, I noted the following: What is MailOnLine? And what is Cnews? Oh, after checking the link I see it's affiliated with Quebecor. Wasn't it worthy enough of a story to put in one of their monopolised newspapers? Also, this doesn't appear to be very balanced. Why are we quoting a priest who is defending the parents, and why don't we have more information about the panel's conclusion? Why are we insinuating that Canada doesn't care about dying babies? What exactly is the child's illness, and what's the percentage chance he/she will survive? Is it just a matter of delaying the inevitable? How much money would Canada be saving by not treating a terminally ill child with this diagnosis? --SweetNightmares (talk) 17:22, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

Pro-life / individual rights
I'd say Priests for Life and the Terry Schiavo organization are definitely pro-life, and the ACLJ lean towards pro-life. Calling them pro-life doesn't introduce a POV. "Individual rights campaigners" doesn't really tell anyone anything. Pretty much everyone is for individual rights: but there is a difference between the ACLJ and, say, the ACLU. Pro-life also doesn't mean they don't do stuff other than anti-abortion activism. Pro-life groups campaign on anything they consider "anti-life" like euthanasia/DNR: this is a perfect example of one. The "individual rights" phrase is used in the Daily Mail source to describe the ACLJ but not the other two groups. And the Wikipedia entry for describes it as "pro-Christian and pro-life". Wikipedia says the same about Priests for Life ("a Roman Catholic pro-life organization"). —Tom Morris (talk) 13:24, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

 * Two separate issues.
 * "individual rights". I don't like it either, so have suggested removing it from the article.  It's doubtful all the organizations would support an individual's right to choose to die, for example.
 * "pro-life". You may have meant "right to life", which is very different from "pro-life" — and indeed, the fact that "pro-life" is correctly used in (at least, US) politics to mean something different from the combination of prefix "pro" with the word "life" is a symptom of its being a means of "spin", to paint those who disagree as "anti-life".  I.e., it's used to promote a POV.

Talk:Fukushima reactor suffers multiple fires, radiation leak confirmed

The title says "radiation leak confirmed", but nothing in the body of the article currently supports that. 216.251.112.134 (talk) 05:20, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

 * Actually, yes it does. In the first part of the article you will see the sentence "The fire caused a leak of radioactive material." - That is supported and confirmed by the source listed from the RIA Novosti news agency. BarkingFish (talk) 11:47, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

The article says "the Fukushima plant's No. 4 reactor", but there is no THE Fukushima plant -- there are two plant sites. Fukushima I (Daichii) and Fukushima II (Dainii) Intgr (talk) 10:34, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

 * Thank you, that's been amended :) BarkingFish (talk) 11:47, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

Confusing title
Maybe it is just me but I find the title Fukushima reactor extinguished after fire, radiation leak confirmed confusing. At first glance one may think that the reactor itself has been extinguished. Perhaps it needs to be changed to something like Fire at Fukushima reactor extinguished, radiation leak confirmed. Again, it may be just me so feel free to ignore this and/or seek advice from another user - Cartman02au (Talk)(AU Portal) 13:01, 15 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Perhaps "Fukushima reactor reactor fire extinguished, radiation leak confirmed"? — Mike moral  ♪♫  22:37, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

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 Donfbreed. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Donfbreed~enwikinews that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything.

Thread:Comments:Japanese tsunami impacts California coastal town/Poorly designed harbor

As Lori Dengler pointed out, the Crescent City Harbor appears poorly designed. Note the approximately parabolic shape, and the breakwater oriented to capture and reflect rather than to deflect... There are multiple opportunities for constructive interference of traveling waves. On top of that, there were boats that were moored improperly (in one case it appears that a mooring line ran UNDER and across one boat, causing it to be flipped when the boat and dock began to rock out of phase).

What is MailOnLine? And what is Cnews? Oh, after checking the link I see it's affiliated with Quebecor. Wasn't it worthy enough of a story to put in one of their monopolised newspapers? Also, this doesn't appear to be very balanced. Why are we quoting a priest who is defending the parents, and why don't we have more information about the panel's conclusion? Why are we insinuating that Canada doesn't care about dying babies? What exactly is the child's illness, and what's the percentage chance he/she will survive? Is it just a matter of delaying the inevitable? How much money would Canada be saving by not treating a terminally ill child with this diagnosis?

You would resign if the alternative was to get your tail publicly fired. Face it whatever you think about how the Military is treating the poor little traitor, the Commander in Chief is ultimately responsible for what is going on with the little twerp. That was a criticism of the President. And good little members of the ones government can criticize anything but the President. He does, as a political appointee, serve at the pleasure of the President. I guess he did not give the President pleasure, and got told "my way, or the Highway. Hit the road Jack." Sad that so many who hold “opinions” do not know enough to intelligently form opinions or articulate them.

Thread:Comments:Dying Canadian infant moved to U.S. hospital for medical treatment/Comments from feedback form - "What is MailOnLine? And what i..."/reply (2)

Allow me to address some of your points. Relating to the illness, it is recognised simply as an "unknown neurological disorder". This suggests that the cause of the condition hasn't been identified. We're quoting a Priest defending the child's parents because that particular Priest, Father Frank Pavone, is the National Director of one of the largest Individual Rights Organisations in the US, Priests for Life, and he supports the Parent's decision to move the child to the USA.

There is, as far as I can see, no insinuation that Canada doesn't care about dying babies. The content reads to me that the Canadian hospital concerned, and the panel of experts who reviewed the case, along with the Canadian Superior Court, have concluded that Baby Joseph stands little or no hope of recovery from the condition. In such cases it is sometimes common for medical authorities to conclude that the cost of life support to the board and persistive care would be expensive, although in this case there is no information to suggest how much the Hospital or the Authorities would save by removing life support.

At this age, however, should the child continue to live on, life support would be an inordinately expensive thing to continue with, even if the child were to grow to being at least a toddler.

As you can see from the article, their daughter Zina died from a similar condition within 6 months of her Tracheotomy, so this would suggest that there is the issue of "delaying the inevitable" as you say.

In short, I don't believe there is an issue with the portrayal of the article, the hospital or anyone else in the work - however, as always, you are welcomed to see a second opinion from other editors.

Thread:Comments:Libyan rebels retake town of Brega/Clean Air/reply (2)

Absolutley. I hesitate to use the 'rebels' word since it has negative connotations. But, I suppose we must. Air support would be a very important step in maintaining some hope. The peoples hearts and minds are evidently convinced Gaddafi must go, so, go he must. The situation yesterday at Brega is an example of the Rebels will, even with inferior equipment. I hope we all become aware of the tremendous advantage owning the Air gives one side over the other. In warfare, it is the FIRST thing that must be established ,as it gives a superior platform from which to accurately and efficiently fire upon the opposition. Enlisting the help of others is something I hope the Rebels establish, and, Secretary Clinton seems to be on that tack. At least I hope so. We can be seen as Friends of Freedom and the Truth. I have been lied to by those who obviously support Gaddafi, and I'm sure I'm not the only one!

Speaking on Twitter,, a singer in the group, expressed his "[t]hanks for all the lovely messages of support" from supporters. "I'm gobsmacked and overwhelmed by all the positivity in and around The Darkness," he said.

Approximately four years ago, Justin Hawkins departed from The Darkness. In a statement, the reaction of the remainder of the group was one of "total shock". They subsequently separated until this reforming occurred. Speaking to  about the music group, Hawkins explained that "[t]he main thing for us is to make sure that musically we turn the experience into something positive again."

"We've been remembering why it was so much fun in the first place, just four men making loud music in a room," Hawkins commented. Speaking about the bodysuits he was known for wearing, Hawkins also said that "I think it should be a new phase and that should be extended to the clothing. Not a lesser phase, if anything a cranked up version. They'll be more good."

It is unclear how Emmanuel received the stab wound but investigators from the are looking to see if it was self-inflicted.

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.

Florida prisons ban inmate smoking

Buss stated that the cost to Florida taxpayers for treating inmates for  such as  and  neared 9 million last year alone.

Inmates will be offered help in, possibly including the use of. Gretl Plessinger, Department of Corrections spokeswoman, said that the department is working with the vendors to make the patches available for purchase through the canteens. Last year inmates spent $19 million on. Although the prison does make money from tobacco sales, Plessinger said, she noted that other states have not lost revenue by banning tobacco. "Inmates spend the money they have on other products like hard candy," she said.

Plessinger said that banning smoking will also make prisons safer: "It will reduce the risk of . And lighters can be used to melt plastic objects like toothbrushes into shanks."

Beginning on Sept. 30, cigarettes will be considered, and prisoners caught smoking will face disciplinary proceedings with possible loss of privileges such as visitation rights and loss of gain time.

U.S. Federal prisons already ban smoking as do more than half of U.S. state prisons. Smoking is also prohibited in Florida's public buildings. For Florida prison employees, designated smoking areas will be provided outside the prison walls.

King of Bahrain declares state of emergency

March 16, 2011

A state of emergency was declared in Bahrain on Tuesday by as protests in the country escalated further, leaving at least two dead.

The declaration was announced on state television, and "authorized the commander of Bahrain's defense forces to take all necessary measures to protect the safety of the country and its citizens." The state of emergency will last for three months.

Further protests took place Tuesday in both the capitol of and the nearby city of. Two people were reported to have died, one of whom was part of the Bahraini security force. These deaths come in addition to seven people killed since the protests began in February. Protesters have reportedly blocked all roads into the main financial center in the capitol, and number in the tens of thousands in Manama alone. Marches took place near the Saudi Arabian embassy, with protesters wearing masks as a defense against tear gas.

According to a doctor near the fighting, there are "many, many casualties ... People are coming in with bullet wounds and injuries caused by rubber bullets ... We received one major case—a man whose skull had been split open by something." One protester said that security personnel "started attacking the villages and the towns. If there is anybody in the road they will shoot them. If there is nobody in the road they will enter the houses."

The declaration comes one day after other Middle Eastern countries sent troops into Bahrain at the request of the Bahraini government.

Israel seizes ship claimed to be carrying weapons for Gaza

March 16, 2011

Israeli military forces today seized a ship claimed to be carrying weapons bound for the Gaza Strip.

The ship, a German-owned and Liberian-flagged freighter named Victoria, had departed from a port in Syria before travelling to Turkey, from where it departed for Alexandria, Egypt. A French company had chartered the vessel, which was intercepted and boarded by Israeli commandos about 200 miles from shore while in international waters.

Victoria was reportedly boarded without incident, and is being taken to, a port city in Israel. Three containers of weapons were found on board the ship, though the type or total number are unknown. A further inspection of the cargo will be carried out once the ship reaches Ashdod.

According to, the Israeli prime minister, "[o]n the boat we discovered many weapons destined for terror groups in the heart of Gaza." He also claimed that Iran was responsible for shipping the weapons, saying that "[t]he only certain thing is the source of the weaponry was Iran, and there was a Syrian relay station as well."
