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.

Iran proclaims successful missile test

May 21, 2009

Iran has successfully tested a Sajjil solid-propellant, surface-to-surface missile, according to President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. The president announced this at a campaign speech in Semnan. "... we launched a Sejil-2 missile, which is a two-stage missile and it has reached the intended target," Ahmadinejad said in the northern city which is close to the launch site.

Ahmadinejad told the crowd of supporters: "The defense minister contacted me and said, ... 'With divine intervention and the assistance of the Lord of the Age, the Sejil-2 rocket, which has very advanced technology, was launched from Semnan province.'"

"It hit the target exactly," he added.

United States Defense Secretary Robert Gates confirmed the launch and stated that the missile has a range of 2,000 to 2,500 kilometers (1,200 to 1,500 miles). Gates additionally said that "because of some of the problems they've had with their engines we think at least at this stage of the testing we think it's probably closer to the lower end of that range. Whether it hit the target that it was intended for, I have not seen any information on that."

"I'm not all that impressed," said GlobalSecurity.org's senior analyst Charles Vick. "It's just another test that confirms they've got the system that was operational last summer."

Like the cold war, they reason like russia : when we have enough rockets to strike back when they make that point again, we will finally be free of these invasions and agressions. usa and israel will allways try to have more, "better" rockets. It is inherent to the idea of islam that people have the right to fend for themselves. modern revolutions serve a same example of militance in the face of provocation.

FBI arrests four in alleged plot to bomb Bronx synagogues, shoot down plane

May 22, 2009 United States law enforcement officials announced the arrest Thursday of four men in connection with a plot to blow up two synagogues in The Bronx, a borough of New York City, and shoot down military airplanes flying out of the. The men allegedly placed car bombs wired to cell phones outside the and nearby  in the Bronx area of the city. commissioner Raymond W. Kelly said one of the suspects placed what he believed were homemade bombs, or improvised explosive devices, in separate vehicles parked outside the synagogues. The other three suspects served as lookouts.

According to a joint statement released by the, the FBI and the New York City Police Department, the men were returning to the vehicle and were planning to attack aircraft at the Air National Guard base at Stewart airport in , with surface-to-air guided missiles when law enforcement stopped them.

As the men were returning to the vehicle, the signal was given for the arrest. An 18-wheel New York City Police Department vehicle blocked the end of the street. The FBI informer also served as the driver of the suspects’ vehicle. Another armored vehicle arrived, and officers from the department’s Emergency Service Unit, according to witnesses, smashed the blackened windows of the, removed the men from the vehicle, and handcuffed them on the ground. None offered resistance.

The men had previously conducted surveillance of military planes at the Air National Guard base including taking photographs. Both the car bombs and the missiles were actually fakes given to the plotters with the help of an informant for the FBI, who posed as a Pakistani militant affiliated with Al-Qaeda. Each of the two homemade bombs was equipped with about 37 pounds of inert material labeled as, but the devices had been 'totally disabled by the FBI," and "there was no danger to anyone," Commissioner Kelly said.

"While the bombs these terrorists attempted to plant tonight were – unbeknownst to them – fake, this latest attempt to attack our freedoms shows that the homeland security threats against New York City are sadly all too real," said Michael Bloomberg, the mayor of New York City.

The suspects are reported to be four Muslim men; three U.S. citizens, one Haitian. The Daily News reports that three of the men are jail-house converts to Islam.

James Cromitie, 53, the reported leader, claims that his parents live in Afghanistan and told the FBI informant that he was angry about the U.S. military killing Muslims in Afghanistan and Pakistan. He had lived in Brooklyn and had a record of "as many as 27 arrests" for minor crimes "both upstate and in New York City."

The other suspects are David Williams, Onta Williams, and Laguerre Payen a native of Haiti.

At the arraignment held Thursday, attorney for Laguerre Payen, Marilyn Reader, told the court that Payen has "a very low borderline" and receives medication for schizophrenia.

Talk:FBI arrests four in alleged plot to bomb Bronx synagogues, shoot down plane

"bogus"
Bogus is not an appropriate word for a news report, please do not put it back in the article. It gives the implication that the people supplied with the fake bombs and missiles were so dumb they could not tell an obvious fake. --Brian McNeil / talk 08:52, 24 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Brianmc, dictionaries.... look into them: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/bogus
 * Look, if you think the conversational verbage of "actually fake" is better for a news report than your misinterpretation of a commonly used dictionary word, then more power to you.
 * Anyway, check out all these bogus news organizations, etc. that choose to use this "inappropriate word" for a news report:

 * Cowicide (talk) 08:51, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Uh-huh. "actually fake" and "bogus" differ in that "actually fake" more strongly suggests that the bombs and missiles were good enough to fool most people. "bogus" implies that critical examination of the bombs and missiles would reveal they were fake. The sources you cite, if read critically, tend to back this up. Their use of "bogus" implies, "it wasn't a good enough fake to fool us, if you're smart it won't fool you".
 * I might add, that if you're going to wait days to respond you're wasting your time. I, for one, will not entertain debating these issues if it goes beyond 24 hours of the article's publication. --Brian McNeil / talk 09:03, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

Brian, you should try actually reading the articles instead of bogusly saying you did. No where is it implied that "bogus" refers to something that is "obviously fake". By the way, you should also finally check out the dictionary. Synonym for bogus? FAKE. Not an "obvious" fake... just fake. You're wrong, face it. Cowicide (talk) 04:38, 28 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Please take your combative attitude and accusations that I did not read a dictionary or sources elsewhere; like back to Wikipedia where you cuss and swear at people who disagree with you. This is not constructive discussion. --Brian McNeil / talk 09:24, 28 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Apparently, this discussion where you've been proven wrong isn't constructive... fine. But I'd still like to see that dictionary and/or thesaurus you got there that defines "bogus" as specifically referring to an "obvious fake" as opposed to its actual definition found in every other dictionary on the planet.  By the way, last time I checked, you don't run wikimedia.  Therefore, I'll stay here as long as I like, thx.  As far as constructive goes...  in the future, when you revert an edit that's not malicious in any way... please leave a comment in your edit, it'll probably cause less confusion and you'll also be doing a better job at following the wiki guidelines located here and here. Your bogus pal, Cowicide (talk) 11:09, 29 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Proven wrong? You have a funny idea of what constitutes proof. You could also do with improving your knowledge of English; there are many, many words in the dictionary which have near-identical meanings to 'bogus'. Dictionaries, regrettably, do not tie themselves in knots distinguishing which is more 'plausible fake' than the other.
 * And, just to remind you, we don't have these Wikipedia guidelines you cite. While the edit was not malicious it was a change to the tone and implied meaning to make your change. Or are you going to argue that "bogus" and "fake" are identical in meaning and equally appropriate in a formal written document? (Hint: neither of these things are the job of a dictionary to teach you, you learn them by reading).
 * Lastly, I have no illusions about speaking for the WMF, I was commenting on your generally combative approach evidenced by block warnings, notes, etc. on your WP talk and resorting to cursing and swearing at many who apparently disagree with you. You have a similar history here, and blocks, plus you were most assertive in the way you approached this issue; you still refuse to see "bogus" based on a nuanced meaning derived from usage. I could probably pick dozens of pairs of synonyms to argue with you over, language is living and evolves independent of what some word-collector pins into a scapbook called a dictionary. --Brian McNeil / talk 14:22, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

Just for you, a dictionary definition that should be taken into consideration: bogus. --Brian McNeil / talk 14:35, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

> Proven wrong? You have a funny idea of what constitutes proof.

8 links to 8 very different accredited news organizations, etc. that utilized the word “bogus” in news reports after you stated that the word was “ ... not an appropriate word for a news report ... ”.

Plus 1 link to a dictionary (that represents the same results you get with all dictionaries) that shows the synonym for “bogus” as “fake”... not “almost fake” or anything you’ve been alluding to (but haven’t presented one lick of proof yourself).

Even though dictionaries, etc. are in your eyes apparently useless vehicles to the English language... You might want to also check out these links as well:

http://thesaurus.reference.com/browse/bogus http://www.synonyms.net/synonym/bogus http://encarta.msn.com/thesaurus_561573244/fake.html http://dictionary.reverso.net/english-synonyms/bogus http://www.synonym.com/synonyms/bogus/

Absent from EVERY link above is your assertion that bogus commonly refers to “almost fake” or “obvious fake” or whatever. It’s simply not true, or... [cough] bogus, if you will.

> And, just to remind you, we don't have these Wikipedia guidelines you cite.

That’s incorrect. The Wikinews policies and guidelines are fundamentally based on the Wikipedia policies and guidelines. As a matter of fact, those guideline links I posted are derived from the “revert” link located here in the Enforcement section at the bottom.

> Or are you going to argue that "bogus" and "fake" are identical in meaning and equally appropriate in a formal written document?

No, I already let all the accredited news organizations that use it that way speak for itself. (See those links I already posted and if that’s not enough, try here) Seriously, check out all those headlines in this new google link. Dude, “bogus” and “fake” ARE identical in meaning no matter how much you hate dictionaries and thesauruses. You are flogging a dead, bogus long horse.

> equally appropriate in a formal written document?

What I don’t find approrate is the informal language that I tried to replace. C’mon... “actually fake”? Sounds like a chick from the valley telling her friends about the incident. “Bogus devices” was far more appropriate and I’ve got back up (see new google link above).

> you still refuse to see "bogus" based on a nuanced meaning derived from usage.

It’s only YOUR nuanced meaning. The rest of the world uses bogus as “fake”. Until surfers from the 1980s rule the Earth, bogus will remain the standard synonym for “fake” for the rest of us.

> I could probably pick dozens of pairs of synonyms to argue with you over

Hahaha... I bet YOU could. But, I’ll settle with bogus... :D

> Just for you, a dictionary definition that should be taken into consideration: bogus. bogus

Great reference! Hahahah... ;)  Have you seen how they define women?

1. Highly ornamental, especially in sports cars. 2. Can be a great aid to relaxation. 3. Very effective cleaning agent.

Shall we stop using the term “women” against this context in wikinews because of this bogus dictionary we’ve got here? :D Cowicide (talk) 22:46, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

Comments:Mother and son disappear after court orders cancer treatment

bizar
The bizar thing is their has been an exact paralel case here in netherlands this week. a woman died after being told she did not have cancer by a "prayer healer", she didn't appear in court because she felt something awfull coming for her this week. suggesting btw. she feared getting shot (wich might have well resulted in netherlands in the clearing of her name, actually every nuthead that "fears getting shot" is 'in' in dutch media and politics.). I think the problem with the kind is for a natural healer the aggressive methods of chemical medicin prohibit most and with chemotherapy almost all natural interaction with the body. It's apreciable when you even hold back on aspirin how much better it keeps working. Unless you use other medicins. It does not matter very much for this if someone is a very serious healer, or one (more or less) seriously flawed, the theory here is that in serious case the common doctors are involved. In practice many of their medicins disturb the body functions to much to say that this can be a completely serious exchange. "we" see their patients die of chemo etc. still, (usually it's about the huge side effects on overall healt and conditions) they see people that  "they" think had a chance. The dutch lady is a good example of 'the spirited kind of healer'. That's slightly different. The usual herbalist definitly sends someone with lymphomes to the regular branch.

Where i assume in the parent is overconfident, after all from the holistic perspective it is obvious environmental factors probably play a role(like eg. dpu,(radioactive) polution. etc. etc. etc . Like it is hard to naturally cure when you are full of chemical medicins, it is harder to treat a chemicaly provoced(etc.) affliction with natural cures. I thought i'd add it to the discussion.24.132.170.252 (talk) 04:07, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

bizar
It would be bizarre to believe that you can cure any illness, including cancer, with roadside weeds and colonic cleansing. Doctors around the world spend their lives studying disease and chemical reactions of the human body, and they walk away believing that chemotherapy is the most effective treatment. If a world full of professionals, who dedicate their lives to curing cancer, think that chemotherapy is the best medicine, IT IS.

who has the right to force him to chemo treatment?
its apparent they dont want him to recieve that treatment so just leave it alone.

The Family may not have the scientific knowledge that some have but he wishes to handle it using a different method. The article refers to another person "Billy Best" as also taking another method of treatment running from his chemo treatment he is alive and well is he not?people are making the mistake of thinking they have the right to make decisions for him as they see fit, Another factor may be the idea of chemotherapy and the fact it uses radiation to kill cancer cells. They dont just kill cancer cells they kill cells both good, and bad. lymphoma is more sensitive than most cancers and can be treated very effectively, but it does kill those hair foliclules, cells in dgestive tract etc. I wont even begin to understand the full complexities but what the hell does the government think they are doing removing the families right to proper treatment as they see fit.

who has the right to force him to chemo treatment?
His parents. He is only a thirteen year old boy. "...totally disregarding the rights of his parents and himself." Parents do not have the right to kill their child. They do not have the right to starve a child to death or refuse treatment that will save the child's life. If he was an adult he could make the choice to die. Since he is not, and his parents are negligent, he is a ward of the state, and it is their decision what to do with him.

Supplementary, Complementary, and Alternative Medicines are SCAMS!
This is the harm caused by unproven medical practices. It causes uneducated and/or naive people to ignore the proven medical practices. This women is presenting a death sentence for her son. Only science education, critical thinking skills, and skeptical training will prevent such fallacious reasoning in the future.

the mother is endangering the boy's health. He is not old enough to make the decision, and the mother is clearly not responsible enough. make him take it.
 * I entirely agree. This child has a curable neoplasm, and he must be treated. Immunize (talk) 23:03, 20 May 2010 (UTC)

User:Miropolitan/Thin non-biodegradable plastic shopping bags banned in South Australia

Here is a copy of the news article I wrote on May 4, 2009, then rewrote over subsequent days in answer to criticism. This is my last (May 11) version. --Miropolitan (talk) 22 May 2009 (UTC)

= Thin non-biodegradable plastic shopping bags banned in South Australia =

Monday, May 4, 2009

Bag ban

Thin non-biodegradable plastic shopping bags have been prohibited in South Australia from 4 May 2009 due to environment and waste management concerns. A range of alternative bags will be available for shoppers, including thin plastic "barrier bags" and thicker, woven-plastic carry bags.

Retailers not complying with the ban will face on-the-spot fines of $315 and a maximum penalty of $5000. Suppliers could face fines of up to $20,000.

Which bags are banned exactly?

"The ban will prohibit retailers from selling or giving away plastic bags with handles made of polyethylene polymer less than 35 microns thick," says Zero Waste SA, the government agency tasked with ushering in the ban.

Lightweight plastic bags marked "degradable" have also been banned because "degradable plastics merely break down into smaller and smaller flakes which remain as damaging waste for many years," says Zero Waste SA.

Why?

Reasons to ban thin plastic shopping bags include the following:

 * Thin plastic shopping bags, typically used once and then thrown away, consume resources and add to the waste stream.
 * Many such bags find their way to the sea where they endanger wildlife which mistake them for food.
 * Such bags can be easily replaced by heavier, woven-plastic bags which can be reused many times.
 * The extra thought required with reusable woven-plastic shopping bags (buying them; remembering to bring them) may also encourage customers to consider other ways of reducing waste.

Which shopping bags are still available in South Australia?

Shopping bags that have not been banned include:

 * Biodegradable (compostable) plastic shopping bags (meeting Australian Standard AS 4736-2006), available for (AU) 25c.

 * Reusable shopping bags made from woven plastic, available for (AU) $1.00.

 * Shopping bags made from paper.

 * The larger, stronger plastic bags used to wrap purchases from clothing and department stores.

Other plastic bags still available include:

 * Smaller, thin, handle-less, transparent plastic bags, called "barrier bags", used to contain loose, unpackaged goods such as fruit and vegetables.

 * Thick, garbage-bin-sized plastic bags, called "bin-liners".

In addition, supermarket customers will still be able to fill large shopping trolleys, transfer their shopping to their car parked in an adjacent, free-to-use car park, and drive (as against bus, cycle, or walk) their shopping home.

Consequences for supermarkets

Banning the bags will result in an abrupt change in the practice of many supermarkets and other stores in South Australia. Previously, check-out staff in many (but not all) supermarkets would automatically fill new plastic bags with a customer's purchases unless the customer asked them not to. (Customers were typically not charged for the bags; the cost - $10 to 15 per year per average household, according to Zero Waste SA - was passed on through higher prices on bought goods.) Under the new regime, while supermarket check-out staff may continue to fill a customer's bags for them, the customer will have to supply or purchase the bag. This will interrupt the smooth flow of customer throughput. On the other hand, it will create an opportunity to rehumanise the contact between customer and staff.

British Airways announces record losses

May 23, 2009

British Airways (BA), the flag carrier for the United Kingdom, announced record losses today. For the first quarter of the year ending March 31, the airline reported losses of £401 million before tax, despite revenues which rose to £9 billion over the previous year. The company's finances have suffered from rising fuel costs and a weak pound. The loss also takes into account redundancy-related costs of £78 million: The company laid off 2,500 workers last year.

BA's costs soared due to an unprecedented fuel bill of £3 billion following a 44.5% increase in the price of oil last year. The recent drop in oil prices has led the airline to announce an expected saving of £400 million in fuel by next year.

Company CEO Willie Walsh announced that employees will be offered the option of taking unpaid leave or working part time in order to ease the financial crisis. In order to set an example, he said that he himself would forego pay for the month of July, describing his move as "no stunt," and added that he "saw no signs of recovery anywhere."

Part of BA's troubles over the last year could be due to the company's dependence on the premium travel market. The company saw a drop of 13% in 'Club' and 'First Class' passengers. With two new aircraft on the way to operate a Club-only service from London, the company may struggle to fill the flights.

Egyptian billionaire MP, former policeman to hang for Lebanese pop star's murder

May 22, 2009

Egyptian businessman Hisham Talaat Moustafa, chairman of the construction and real estate firm Talaat Moustafa Group and a member of parliament for the ruling National Democratic Party, and former policeman Mohseen Al Sukkari have been convicted of murdering Lebanese pop star Suzanne Tamim.

The prosecution alleged that Mustafa, who had an affair with Tamim, paid Al Sukkari US$2 million to kill her. The woman was found dead in her Dubai apartment last July. Her throat was slit and she had suffered other stab wounds.

Moustafa's lawyer had told reporters that his client was in love with Tamim, but was unable to take her a second wife — a common and legal practise in Egypt — due to objections from his family. The prosecution alleges he had Tamim killed as "means of taking revenge," though exactly what for was not specified.

The pair's defense had been that evidence collected in the United Arab Emirates could have been tampered with and should not be used against them. The case was tried in Cairo due to the fact the arrests occurred in Egypt and took 27 hearings to reach a conviction.

Moustafa was stripped of parliamentary immunity after his September arrest and has been in jail since during his trial. He has stood down from his position within the Talaat Moustafa Group and his brother Tarek Talaat Moustafa now heads the company, which was founded by their father Talaat Moustafa.

The court has given both defendants a death sentence, which usually means hanging under Islamic law. This will now be reviewed by the nation's top religious authority, Grand Mufti Ali Gomaa, on June 25. Moustafa is intending to file an appeal, which his lawyer described as having "a one million percent guarantee" of getting the conviction overturned.

Pakistan's military claims capture of Taliban stronghold

May 23, 2009

According to officials in Pakistan, they have succeeded in driving back  from two key strongholds in the. After a two week battle, which reportedly left hundreds dead, the militants were dislodged from the mountain ridge Biny Baba Ziarat.

"It was very difficult to dislodge them even with the support of helicopter gunship and fighter jets," Brigadier Suba Khan said while speaking to assembled members of the press.

"They fought till the last men," added Lieutenant-Colonel Mohamed Riaz, who was credited with leading the final charge. “Essentially, at this point in time, we are looking at eliminating the hard core militants,” explained Major General Sajjad Ghani, who said that troops were closing in on another stronghold. "The commandoes have already landed on the mountain peaks and ridges [at Peochar]. The militants are surrounded and encircled from all sides. They are hemmed in. And this is the right time that the security forces can go with full might and kill and eliminate the residual militants in the Peochar valley."

The established a base at a girls' college in Khawazakhela, in part to protect it. "The Taliban would have blown it up had we not established our base here," said Lt. Col. Abdul Rehman. The Taliban targeted girls’ schools and banned female education while they were in control of the Swat Valley.

"They are not Muslims despite their claims to be so," said Lt. Asad Hanif. "A true Muslim cannot slaughter people like the Taliban have been doing."

Meanwhile, a car bomb which was set off at a in  killed six people and injured at least another 75. The bombing raised fears that the Taliban would strike back using bombs in urban areas of Pakistan.

"Such incidents will increase in coming days if the government does not stop the operation in Swat and change its policy," said political activist Mohammed Iqbal.

Former South Korean President dead after apparent suicide

May 23, 2009

Former South Korean President Roh Moo-Hyun died after falling from the side of a mountain near his house in an apparent suicide, the state-run Yonhap News Agency reported early Saturday. Roh, who was facing an investigation into allegations of bribery, fell at about 6:30 a.m. Korea Standard Time (9:00 p.m. GMT), after having gone hiking with an aide. Roh was taken to the Pusan National University Hospital, where he died at 9:30 a.m.

"Roh left his home at 5:45 a.m. to go hiking," Moon Jae-in, an adviser to Roh, said. "He appears to have jumped from a mountain rock at 6:40 a.m. He was accompanied by a bodyguard at that time."

"He left behind a brief suicide note," Moon added.

The investigation stems from allegations that Roh received a US$6 million bribe while in office.

Pusan National University Hospital chief Paek Seung-wan told reporters that Roh died of a head injury.

"At the time of his arrival at the hospital at 8:23 a.m.," Paek said, "he was unconscious and couldn't breathe on his own. A laceration measuring 11 centimeters was found on the front part of his head. Doctors attempted cardiopulmonary resuscitation but suspended it at 8:30 a.m. as he failed to recover. A brain contusion was also found, but head injury was confirmed as the direct cause of his death. In addition, fractures were found, including in the ribs and pelvis."

Suicidal man pushed off Chinese bridge

May 23, 2009

A passerby pushed a man, who was threatening to commit suicide, off Haizhu Bridge in Guangzhou, China. The 66-year-old passerby, Lai Jiansheng, told China Daily that "I pushed him off because jumpers... are very selfish. Their action violates a lot of public interests."

Lai initially volunteered his services to police to persuade the man not to jump, but police rejected these. Following this, Lai broke through a police barrier to push the man.

The pushed man, Chen Fuchao, survived with spinal and elbow injuries, because he landed on a partially-inflated air cushion 8 metres (26 feet) below. Lai was taken away by police.

The man threatening to jump was in 2,000,000 (293,000) of debt.

At least 12 people have threatened to jump off the bridge since the start of April, causing "traffic … to become worse" according to a spokesman for the Guangzhou public security bureau.

Bomb explosion kills two in Nepal church

May 23, 2009 Police reports state that a bomb blast in a church in Nepal on Saturday has killed two people and injured at least a dozen more. The attack comes just hours before the national parliament was due to elect a new prime minister.

The bomb detonated in the Church of the Assumption in the town of Lalitpur, located south of Nepal's capital of Kathmandu. The explosion occurred during the church's weekly function. Around 150 people were in the church at the time of the explosion.

"The wounded people have been rushed to a local hospital and we are investigating," police superintendent Kedarman Singh Bhandari said.

"A 15-year old student, Celestina Joseph, and 30-year-old Pabitra Paitri died in the bomb blast. Five of the injured are in serious condition," Ram Brish Chaudhary said to the Agence France Presse news agency. "Security has been increased and an investigation is going on."

According to the Nepalese home ministry spokesman, Navin Ghimire, the National Defence Army, an obscure Hindu extremist group, left a message at the scene of the disaster, assuming responsibility for the explosion. The group says it wants to return Nepal's Hindu monarchy back to power after it was abolished last year. It has taken responsibility for the killing of a missionary in July of last year.

This is the first bomb attack on a Christian church in Nepal. The country's population is predominantly either Buddhist or Hindu.

Malawian president inaugurated after reelection

May 23, 2009 Bingu wa Mutharika, the president of the African country of Malawi, was inaugurated on Friday after having been reelected to a second five-year term.

The Malawian election commission had earlier reported that wa Mutharika had won the election, having taken 2.7 million votes, more than twice than the 1.3 million votes received by the second place contestant, John Tembo.

In a statement at his inauguration ceremony, Mutharika said one of his highest priorities would be to battle with corruption.

"My stance remains unwavering," he said. "I shall continue to fight corruption because it is evil. Corruption in whatever form or shape is an enemy to growth and prosperity because it robs the poor, and denies their legitimate right to development."

He also promised to focus on food security and agriculture.

"In the next five years my administration will continue to prioritize agriculture and food security," the president said. "We will remain committed in ensuring that our current food production levels increase further to sustain the country's food self-sufficiency."

The opposition has contested the election results and boycotted the president's inauguration.

"These elections have been rigged," opposition leader John Tembo said. He has said he will challenge the election's outcome in court.

Ten-year-old computer glitch prevents delivery of 1,380 Canadian health results

May 24, 2009

The Saskatoon Health Region in Saskatchewan, Canada recently discovered a fax machine problem which had not relayed almost 1,500 X-rays, Computed tomography (CT) and Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans, ultrasounds, and other medical imaging test results to doctors.

The fax machine is part of the automated Radiology Information System. An audit revealed that medical diagnostic tests involving results dating back a decade have been affected by the broken fax machine.

On May 6, a doctor called the health region officials seeking follow up on a patient's report. Staff who delved into it, found that the report was not sent from the system.

Now, two weeks later, this same patient has still not been contacted by the health region.

"It has taken some time to work with the patient's physician. That was important — to get more information and more detail because we want that patient's physician to be involved in the discussion with the patient," Dr. David Poulin, vice-president of medical affairs for The Saskatoon Health Region, said. "This is a system error and that's just what it was — an error. This doesn't reflect in any way on the quality of work regional staff have done and continue to do."

An internal review revealed that, of 2.2 million diagnostic tests performed, at least 1,380 had not been sent out by the malfunctioning fax machine.

The health region will embark on contacting each of the 1,380 patients and their physicians to make sure that the results have been received and if any health care was compromised.

Patients can also contact the health region via a newly set up hotline to make enquiries.

"We think it would actually be good practice if physician offices could have a system to check whether they have received important reports," said Poulin, "The common practice appears to be in many doctors' offices, particularly family physician offices, that they don't respond to the report until it arrives. So, they basically are waiting for the report to arrive in their office by fax and it's at that point that they look at it and decide what action to take."

City Hospital, St. Paul's Hospital and Royal University Hospital were the three city hospitals affected. Saskatoon has a population of roughly 233,923, and the hospitals also serve the surrounding rural areas.

Ironically the faulty fax machine was discovered the same week that provincial medical officials began to review approximately 70,000 radiology tests conducted in Yorkton. Officials there doubt the competence of the physician who first interpreted the radiology results.

I wish our corrupted politicians would do the same...but then we would be leaderless.--66.229.17.49 (talk) 21:55, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

maybe the person/agency/company who paid him the 6 million dollar bribe had him off'd in fear of the truth coming out?

 * He was with a bodyguard, wasn't he? I guess he just told the bodyguard, "Hey, thanks for protecting me, Ima go jump now"?
 * To men go into the mountains. One comes back and says the other killed himself. The other being investigated for--and potentially having to give testimony about--charges of bribery. Of course it was suicide. Nobody would ever bribe a bodyguard.

the bodyguard
the president askedme for a cigarette and when the bodyguard asked him whether he should get it, he said no and then said while glancing down: "Someone's walking down there" and then jumped

really sad day when pm's jump of mountains

Conspiracies
According to recent police investigation, he left his home at 5:35 am, while the file on his computer that was known to be his last words was saved at 5:44 am. I've heard of many conspiracies about his death, but this one seems to be contradicting too directly. --Memming (talk) 18:15, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

Roh Moo-hyun was killed by Japanese people. not suicide!
Roh Moo Hyun did not commit suicide.

Evidence is that the the death note he "supposedly" posted was 30 minutes after the "supposedly" falling of the cliff... strange...

Roh Moo-hyun had a bad relationship with Japan (which is good), along with Dictator Kim Jung-il. They were politically good friends. He wept when he died.

Anyway, Japan also hated retiree Roh, and probably plotted to kill him. At least, my opinion.

Long live Korea!

PS The current Korean president--I comletely disagree. He is a Japan follower--now he is allowing Japan to have Dok-do island--what a shame! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.205.95.101 (talk) 20:14, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

Fußball-Bundesliga 2008–09: Wolfsburg win first season title

May 24, 2009

The German First Bundesliga ended its season on Saturday. VfL Wolfsburg claimed its first season title with a win over UEFA Cup runners-up Werder Bremen by 5–1. The win was Wolfsburg's sixteenth of seventeen at home.

Wolfsburg went into the match holding a two-point advantage over Bayern Munich and VfB Stuttgart, who played each other at the same time. Since VfL had a goal difference of 35 to FC Bayern's 28, even a draw would have effectively clinched the title for them. Additionally, Wolfsburg faced a tired Werder Bremen side that had just lost the UEFA Cup final to Shaktar Donetsk after extra time. VfL got the scoring started after six minutes, when Zvjezdan Misimović latched onto a loose ball just outside the Werder penalty area and put it into the top of the net. Nine minutes later, Grafite, the league's leading goalscorer, made it 27 goals on the season.

The game was effectively over when Sebastian Prödl scored an own goal in the 26th minute. Though Diego pulled one back for Werder five minutes later, it would not be enough. Second half goals from Grafite (56th) and Edin Džeko (74th) put an exclamation point on the afternoon for Wolfsburg. However, this was the last game at the helm for Wolfsburg's manager, Felix Magath. His contract was not renewed and he will be heading to FC Schalke 04, who lost their final game under interim managers Mike Büskens, Oliver Reck and Youri Mulder.

Bayern won 2–1 over Stuttgart, so they join Wolfsburg in the UEFA Champions League 2009–10 group stage, while Stuttgart must start from the play-off round. Hertha BSC and HSV will represent the Bundesliga in the UEFA Europa League. Hertha managed to hang on despite being beaten 4–0 by seventeenth-placed Karlsruher SC.

Comments:Bomb explosion kills two in Nepal church

Re: Bomb explosion kills two in Nwpal church
The loss of lives resulted by explosion inside the church is truly condemnable. However, few things must be considered well, before jumping into any conclusions, as to why it might have happened. The growing number of missionaries are responsible for converting many poor hindu Nepalese into Christians. These missionaries give some amount to poor communities in the name of improving lives, but with main mission to convert them from Hindus to Christian. This shouldn't be tolerated either. Where is the morality? Had these missionaries been so keen on uplifting lives of poor Nepalese, they could have started some project, rather than converting religions. And I believe, this is the very reason why this bomb explosion happened. I truly condemn this explosion. However, missionaries here in Nepal should not try to convert people in the name of development.

 * Why should missionaries not be allowed to advocate for other people to adopt their religious views? In civilized societies, we have the concept of freedom of speech, and also that of freedom of religion, in view of which I fail to see any actual misconduct couched among your insinuations. Christians come to Nepal and render various humanitarian and educational assistance by your own admission, yet you suggest that for also bringing a desire to share their faith they should have expected terrorism and murder as a due consequence? By saying that the religious activities of religious missionaries "shouldn't be tolerated either" you imply a parity between the "intolerable" action of witnessing to Hindus and the crime of ideologically motivated murder, so excuse me if I regard you an apologist for these actions rather than a neutral observer who is legitimately appalled. This is possibly the most outrageous and uneducated thing I have ever read on Wikinews, and I can only hope that this barbarous sentiment is not widespread in Nepal or elsewhere. 209.30.163.145 (talk) 00:08, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

first the world is created by the Lord and this His resposibility to give the right to do anything. as it is said if you want to know the plants then you must see the friuts. Prithivi Narayan Shah unified and said Nepal is the common gardden of four casts and thirty six casts. why not the christisns live here and before adopting the christianity they were Nepalise too.

Wikinews:Newsworthy and neutral

Newsworthiness and neutrality are two of the cornerstones of Wikinews; part of this project's parallel to Wikipedia's five pillars. (See WN:PILLARS.)

The basic outline of what makes an article newsworthy is laid out in a section of the content guide.

Neutrality is a critical aspect of all Wikimedia projects. Wikinews and Wikipedia share similar — though not identical — neutral point of view policies that are not negotiable.

Newsworthiness - An opinion with some guidelines
As stated in the introduction, there are general guidelines that an article can be tested against to establish newsworthiness. This list is by no means exhaustive, and edge-cases are a matter of opinion based on experience.

When is a press release news?
One example most people will recognise is the press release. There are regularly employees of small companies release their news on a free wire service then cut and paste it into Wikinews. It is only "news" to the company's few dozen employees and some customers.

When you get up to companies like Google or Microsoft then there is a good chance that the content of a press release is news to a wide audience. This is still no reason to cut and paste the press release; other sources should be used or quotes and opinion sought from appropriate parties.

Neutrality - Can you tell what your learned biases are?
Everyone has particular biases. Every news source has bias, or, perhaps more accurately you could say every news source has someone who will accuse it of bias. Sometimes an indication of the quality of a news source is how many critics it has on both sides of the isle.

Space Shuttle Atlantis lands safely at Edwards Air Force Base

May 24, 2009

Space Shuttle Atlantis has landed safely at Edwards Air Force Base in California. Atlantis landed at approximately 11:39 a.m. (EDT).

Atlantis had spent just under thirteen days in space. Its mission, STS-125, was to make the final repairs to the Hubble Space Telescope before the shuttle fleet is retired. Over the course of the mission’s five spacewalks, the crew added two new science instruments, repaired two others and replaced hardware that will extend the telescope's life at least through 2014.

Atlantis arrived at Hubble on May 13. The crew performed five spacewalks on five consecutive days to repair and upgrade the telescope. Taking a total of almost thirty-seven hours of spacewalks, the repairs were one of the most extensive set of spacewalks on a single mission.

The landing was scrubbed twice after bad weather forced NASA to land Atlantis at Edwards AFB. Atlantis was originally scheduled to land on Thursday. The shuttle is scheduled to be transported back to Florida's Kennedy Space Center on the back of a modified Boeing 747 next week. It will cost NASA US$2 million to transport the shuttle.

The mission almost did not occur. First, after the Columbia disaster, there was extensive worry about whether a mission to Hubble made sense given that it would force the shuttle into an orbit in which the crew could not be easily rescued or rendevous with the International Space Station. There was also debate over whether the cost of the repairs would be worth the expense of the mission.

Re: Disasters and accidents template
You're probably right that it's not the best choice of photograph. At the same time, though, I was having difficulty finding an appropriate photograph when creating the infobox, and decided to use something striking. I still don't know what picture would be best, but you're welcome to change the template for a picture that you think is better - that's what wikis are for. You can try looking on Commons, the free media repository for possible images. Cheers, Tempodivalse [talk]  13:39, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

 * Can I just add that I recognise the picture. It's famous; actually it's a still from a famous video (or possibly another shot of the same event). It's a deliberate controlled test of a jet that's been rigged with remote controls, bear that in mind when thinking of other possible disaster pictures - no-one gets hurt there, it was actually an improving-safety thing.

Jenson Button wins 2009 Monaco Grand Prix

May 24, 2009

Brawn Mercedes driver Jenson Button won today's FIA Formula One 2009 Grand Prix de Monaco on the Circuit de Monaco at Monte Carlo, Monaco. This became his fifth win this season.

His teammate, Rubens Barrichello, was third on the starting grid and was able to overtake Finn Kimi Räikkönen's Ferrari prior to the first Sainte Devote corner right after the red lights came off.

Räikkönen's third for Ferrari was accompanied by Felipe Massa on the fourth place, the best result for the team so far.

Mark Webber (Red Bull-Renault), Nico Rosberg (Williams-Toyota, Fernando Alonso (Renault) and Sébastien Bourdais (Toro Rosso-Ferrari) closed the top eight.

The last driver not in a lap behind the leader was Giancarlo Fisichella, showing well for Force India.

Another winner of this season, Sebastian Vettel, crashed his Red Bull into the wall of tyres on the 15th lap going out of the race.

After the finish, Button forgot to put his car beside the second and third finishers resulting in his run from parc fermé to the main straight where he finally received his trophy from the hands of Prince Albert II.

Jenson Button strengthened his lead in the Drivers' championship to 51 points with Barrichello 16 and Vettel 28 points behind. Brawn GP now dominates the Constructors' standings with 86, more than 40 points ahead of Red Bull.

This year is the 80th anniversary of the first Monaco Grand Prix, but this one is only the 67th GP on this circuit because some years it wasn't held.

Comments:Ten-year-old computer glitch prevents delivery of 1,380 Canadian health results

Only 1380 out of 2.2 million results failed? That's a failure rate of only 0.062%! They should consider themselves blessed to have a fax machine that doesn't need to be kicked every so often to get it to behave! --98.110.200.96 (talk) 15:35, 24 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I guess they were more concerned that this had been going on for 10 years without a fix. Still, point taken, a remarkably low failure rate. 206.248.164.192 (talk) 19:50, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

old and new
In other news: "NEW computer software" has dozens of glitches and delivers 160000 heatlh records from Californians to cyper-crooks!
 * Those damned cyper-crooks. They need to change the whole healthcare system to MACs, they're better at life stuff I hear.
