William Saturn  to JoeSchriner@hotmail.comApr 6 Mr. Schriner,

I am William Saturn of WikiNews, the free news website viewed by millions daily. I wanted to know if I could ask you a few questions about your 2012 presidential campaign.

Thank you ReplyForward Joe Schriner  to wssaturn@gmail.comApr 7

Mr. Schriner,

I am William Saturn of WikiNews, the free news website viewed by millions daily. I wanted to know if I could ask you a few questions about your 2012 presidential campaign.

Thank you

The New Busy is not the too busy. Combine all your e-mail accounts with Hotmail. Get busy.ReplyForward wssaturn@gmail.com to Joe Schriner Apr 7 Thank you for your time,

Here is a list of my questions:

I was reading this article (http://starbeacon.com/obitcorrection/x343696723/In-the-2008-presidential-campaign-it-was-Joe-the-Plumber-In-2012-it-s-going-to-be-Joe-the-Painter), and it says that you're "a former print journalist and addictions counselor who switched to house painting when he felt guided to run for president." Why did you feel guided to run for president?

When you announced your candidacy following the 2008 election, you remarked that this would be your final run. Why did you make that decision, and why did you announce your candidacy so early in the electoral process?

Back in 2000, Steve Chawkins with Ventura County News, wrote to you "You won't win, you won't be president." Why do you believe you lost that particular election as well as the 2004 and 2008 elections? What have you done differently during this run?

In some sources it says you are running for the Green Party nomination, while in others it says you are running as an Independent. Let's clear this up, are you running for any particular party's nomination, or as an Independent?

How large is your campaign?

Has your campaign received any notable endorsements?

Describe to me an average day in the life of Joe Schriner. How do you spend your time?

If you had complete power at this moment, what would you do? How would you change America?

When you say "we are left of the Green Party,” (http://starbeacon.com/obitcorrection/x343696723/In-the-2008-presidential-campaign-it-was-Joe-the-Plumber-In-2012-it-s-going-to-be-Joe-the-Painter), does that mean you view yourself as a socialist?

As a former addictions counselor, would you like to see some prohibitions on the sale of alcohol? Would you consider yourself a member of the temperance movement?

Your Pro-Life stand seems to be a big issue in your campaign. What are your thoughts on Scott Roeder, who assassinated George Tiller? Was this action justified? How far are you willing to go to end abortion?

What are your thoughts on President Obama?

What are your thoughts on the Tea Party movement?

Which historical figure do you most identify with and why?

Could you take this test (http://www.theadvocates.org/quizp/index.html), and let us know where you stand on the political spectrum?

Anything else you want to add?

Also, this is not part of the interview, but we'd like to know if you have a photo that we could use for this interview page and your page on wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Schriner)?

Thank you, it is greatly appreciated,

Mr. Saturn... Is this for a short, say, 20-inch story? Or is it going to be a longer, more in-depth type of piece? I'm trying to gauge how much time to spend with the answers. Thanks. Joe Schriner

Mr. Saturn... Attached are my answers to your questions. If you need anything else clarification wise, etc., let me know. (I'm hoping I got the links right as well.)

Also, you had asked about pictures. You are welcome to take some off our site, if that will work. For me: http://www.voteforjoe.com/news/news_ohio.html  (While this appeared in Ohio Magazine, it was a picture I contributed, so it can be used). *Or, for more of a "Joe the painter" look: http://www.voteforjoe.com/aboutjoe.html  (lower left picture in painting attire.  This picture would need attribution.  Or the top picture on that page could be used as well, with attribution as well.)  Or, for 'Joe the boxer'   http://www.voteforjoe.com/essays/boxing.htm (photo by Stephen Piscura) Or if you want some of the family:  http://www.voteforjoe.com/road/ohiotour2008.htm  with attribution; or, http://www.voteforjoe.com/family.html  -- at top of the page.

If you choose to go with either of Shaun Heasley's photos, I can e-mail better quality ones to you, if you need.

If you would, let me know that you got this.

my best, Joe Schriner

Mr. Saturn... Sorry it's taken a couple days to get back to you. We're on the road campaigning, and its the first time I've had a chance to get to a computer. As for my answers on the test: top: M, A, M, D, A   bottom: M, D, A, M, A ;  Also, for the picture:  http://www.voteforjoe.com/news/news_ohio.html   Fell free to use the picture from the top of this page. (It's owned by our campaign.)  I don't have access to a scanner where I'm at, and I was hoping you could just transfer the picture from there. If you can't, let me know (419-792-9059). We just had a photogropher take some more pictures of us, and he may be able to e-mail it to you. Joe Schriner  Ps... If you want to use a family shot, go to http://www.voteforjoe.com/family.html and use the picture at the top. (Calvin Kimbrough can be cropped out of the bottom.) He donated the picture to the campaign and no attribution is necessary.

Toyota to recall Sienna minivan in North America

April 17, 2010 Toyota, the Japanese auto maker, has issued a voluntary recall of 870,000 of its Sienna minivans in North America (600,000 in the United States and 270,000 in Canada).

The models affected are the first and second generation vehicles, which were manufactured between 1998 and 2010. It has been discovered that salt, used to grit roads and melt snow in northern US states and Canada, could potentially cause corrosion in the spare tire carrier cable. In a worse case scenario, this corrosion could lead to the wheel becoming detached and becoming a hazard for following vehicles. The new 2011 version of the Sienna is not affected, nor are all wheel drive versions of the vehicle.

In a statement, Toyota said that "In the worst case, the carrier cable may fail and the spare tire could become separated from the vehicle." In the same statement, Toyota's Chief Quality Officer in North America, Steve St. Angelo, said that "Toyota is listening to its customers attentively, and we want to make sure their voices are heard...We are also working diligently to develop a remedy as soon as possible."

The latest blow to Toyota's reputation for safety and quality comes just days after the company announced the suspension of sales of its luxury Lexus GX 460 SUV over fears that it was susceptible to rollovers.

Europe's airline chaos: in depth

April 17, 2010 Aviation experts are warning that air traffic across western Europe may continue to be affected by an Icelandic volcano, which has been billowing clouds of ash and spreading it throughout the region.

Experts say that the Eyjafjallajökull volcano, located in Iceland, continues to have "sporadic eruptions"; dark ash clouds have been moving south and east of the area, causing mass flight cancellations all over Europe, spanning from the UK to Russia over fears that the soot may be catastrophic to planes - such as causing engines to fail in-flight or severely reducing the pilot's visibility.

The ash clouds are drifting between six to nine thousand meters above the ground, and are moving eastwards, over northern France and Austria and towards Russia at about 40 kilometers per hour.

Already, thousands of passengers have been left stranded around the world, unable to travel to and from various points in Europe. The continent's air-traffic control center predicted 17,000 flights to have been cancelled on Friday alone, and indicated there would be further disruption today. The cancellations are costing airlines about US$200 million daily, the International Air Transport Association reports.

A global association of air traffic control companies commented that ash clouds would probably continue to affect flights for some time. "The knock-on effect of the volcanic ash plume over northern Europe is likely to disrupt European airspace for several days," the Civil Air Navigation Services Organization said in a statement. "Traffic will have to be reorganized and rerouted and flights preplanned, all on a dynamic and quite unpredictable basis."

"The skies are totally empty over northern Europe," said Eurocontrol's deputy head, Bryan Flynn. The agency said more than half of Europe's average 28,000 daily flights were cancelled yesterday, twice as many as were called off on Thursday.

In a special report, Wikinews takes a look at how different countries have been affected by this event.

Germany
All of Germany's sixteen airports with international flights have been shut down today, including the busy Frankfurt airport. A spokesman for carrier Lufthansa says all of its flights were cancelled until no sooner than 20.00 local time (18.00 UTC). He said that there were no planes from the airline in the air anywhere on the globe. "There has never been anything like this," he said.

Iceland
Icelandic airports are open, despite being in such close proximity to the billowing volcano, as the winds are blowing ash clouds away from the vicinity.

The Icelandic Met Office's Matthew Roberts, told the BBC that the volcano hasn't been expending as much ash, and that the eruption was slowing down.

Icelandic officials are urging local residents with respiratory problems to refrain from going outdoors, and encourages the use of protective goggles and masks to those who do go out.

Most disruption in the country has actually been to ground, not air, traffic. Local police chief Kjartan Thorkelsson commented: "We had to close roads because of the ash yesterday [Thursday], even though it was not very thick." He added that the ash "is particularly dangerous for animals, since it can go into water and the grass they eat, [but] [i]t is not as dangerous to humans".

Experts suggest that occasional disruptions are possible throughout the next half year, should Eyjafjallajokull continue to erupt. Another concern is that it may trigger an eruption from the larger Katla volcano nearby, which has occurred every time Eyjafjallajokull has erupted for the past few centuries.

Japan
Even countries as far away as Japan were affected by the ash clouds. A correspondent for the BBC, in Tokyo's Narita Airport, says that many travellers en route to Europe had to spend the night in the departure lounge because their flights were cancelled: "Airlines have handed out sleeping bags and blankets but there have been complaints there aren't enough to go round. The longer the airports are closed the longer the backlog of passengers builds up," he reports.

Poland
Polish authorities have suggested that they will delay the funeral of deceased president Lech Kaczynski, who died in a plane crash in Russia last week. Many world leaders planning to attend the funeral might be prevented from doing so due to the ash clouds. Poland was one of twelve to close down most or all of its airspace.

The president's family, however, has insisted the ceremony, to be held in Krakow, proceed as planned.

United Kingdom
The UK's National Air Traffic Service (NATS), says that its restrictions on airspace in the country would remain in effect until no sooner than 13.00 UTC today. Travel bans for Northern Ireland and Scotland have been lifted, although NATS stressed that this does not necessarily mean flights to and from the area will actually resume.

Ryanair, meanwhile, cancelled all its northern Europe flights until 13.00 on Monday. British Airways called off all of its flights from London airports.

UK ferry operators saw a jump in bookings as stranded air travellers sought other ways to cross the English Channel.

A spokesman with the British Civil Aviation Authority commented that, [i]n terms of closure of airspace, this is worse than after 9/11. The disruption is probably larger than anything we've seen."

A correspondent for Al Jazeera reporting from London Heathrow airport described stranded travellers' attitude as being "increasingly frustrated". He remarked: "Some sources I've been speaking to have been indicating that this will probably be extended further. There may be intermittent disruptions to flights for months to come."

United States
The Icelandic volcano may cause the US to experience volcanic sunsets. Vulcanologist Jay Miller claims, "Once it stops erupting it will take a few days to settle out. As long as there's ash in the atmosphere or any pollutant for that matter, you'll see these alterations in the color we see in the sky."

Brian Toon of University of Colorado, Boulder, says: "It's unlikely any of this volcanic ash will get as far as the United States. But it is possible. It's just rare. It's likely the stuff will get washed out before it ever gets here."

American Airlines, in the meantime, announced it had cancelled 56 of its flights to and from Europe today, and the same amount yesterday; countries to which flights were not called off were Italy and Spain. US-based airlines make 337 flights between Europe and the US daily; of those, 280 were cancelled yesterday, the Air Transport Association of America says.

Chile
The Icelandic volcano has not caused many problems in Chile. SCL reported to El Mercurio that just a flight has been cancelled. The flight was operated by Air France, that may had went at the 16:00 local time to France. "We don't know if this suspended flight will go, yet," SCL reported, and warranted that "Air France is not going today." SCL also stated that has not been cancelled any other flights, but that could change as the time goes by.

Thread:Comments:United Nations: More people with access to cell phones than toilets in India/UN standards for a "proper toilet"

If WC is a standard, India is bound to fail the test. They don't call it 'Western' Commode for no reason. I hope they also derived standards for what can be called "Indian Commodes"; and by definition of those standards some Indian commodes can be considered "proper".

It would be interesting to know what those luxury items were for the west, while they still didn't have proper sanitation. For all we know, those luxury items are now considered among the basic requirements like sanitation and medical care :D

Thread:Comments:NATO troops kill four people on bus in Afghanistan/Can you guys/reply (8)

KDP3: I don't think our coverage is unbalanced, but if you think that it is there is a simple solution: write some positive coverage about NATO's efforts in Afghanistan. This isn't Fox, MSNBC, or CNN. When they write a "bad" story (bad is a matter of opinion, hence the scare quotes) the only thing any of us can do is rant and complain in the comments section. The great thing about Wikinews is that YOU can help right any perceived wrongs in our coverage:).

So please, take us to task for our poor coverage by writing the type of story that you wish to see on the front page. It usually takes between one and 2 and a half hours to write a short to medium length article, source it, and format it properly for publication. If we've made a mistake, then right our wrongs. Don't take the standard apathetic "meeeeehhh, let someone else do it" approach. That inaction is deadly for any community or society.

I apologize for acting over the top. And I do agree that we should show the views whats happening in Afghanistan both the good and bad. But it seems there has been a neglect of what the Taliban is doing.

So tell us KDP3 what ARE they doing?, Oh and cite your sources please. Wikinews doesn't aim to show what's "good" or "bad", we report what happens, no more, no less, that's what NPOV means, and that's what proper journalism is. everything else is spin, or editorializing.

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

Thread:Comments:UN report says death of Benazir Bhutto preventable; fault of government/Sadly/reply (2)

What an unconscionably absurd thing to say. She was wildly popular at the time of her assasination, which if you studied the report, would have been prevented by following the simplest of security procedures. Can you imagine if Barack Obama or (George W. Bush for that matter) had no security detail, no secret service or intelligence network to protect them? Do you think the U.S. government would allow such a egregious breech of their basic security, or that they would emerge from such situations unscathed? I suspect not. However, That was precisely what the Pakistani Government did (deliberately apparently), even though they had the full capability to protect Ms. Bhutto. In essence her death was a wholly preventable tragedy engineered by the deliberate neglect of the Musharraf Regime. If they had followed standard procedures, there is no doubt that Ms. Bhutto would be President of Pakistan today.

Officials: Seventeen insurgents killed in Orakzai, Pakistan

April 17, 2010

Seventeen insurgents were killed in clashes with security troops in the region of the North-West Frontier Province of Pakistan. Several rebels were injured in the attack according to officials. None of the soldiers were injured in the attack.

Security personnel alleged that they had arrested a senior Taliban leader in the attack. Meanwhile, elders of various tribes demanded the government to bar security forces to carry out operations affecting the people of the Mishti Mela, Sanghra and Mishti Bazaar areas. They said that the government should have allowed the people some time to shift from the area before launching such attacks, claiming the air strikes in the region also killed some civilians.

Also, three people were kidnapped in Ghalo Cheena area of on Friday according to witnesses. The three people were on their way home when unidentified men held them at gunpoint and kidnapped them. Police said they had not heard about the incident.

30 people die in bombing in northwestern Pakistan

April 17, 2010

Two successive suicide bombings killed 30 people in a camp providing aid to displaced people in northwestern Pakistan, police officials stated. The two explosions hit the Kacha Pukha camp located near the city of Kohat. Nearly 50 people were wounded.

Al Jazeera's Kamal Hyder said from Islamabad that the bomber hit the camp when a food distribution programme was underway. "This was a point where registration was under way and food distribution was under way," he said. "Most of the victims were the displaced people from the Orakzai agency where the military has launched an offensive recently, displacing a large number of people. The attack is said to have involved a suicide bomber and perhaps a remote-controlled device planted near that particular area," he added.

"At least 27 people have died. There are 45 wounded. The toll may go up," regional police chief Dilawar Khan Bangash told the Agence France-Presse news agency from the scene of the incident. "Both were suicide attacks. Body parts of the suicide bombers have been recovered. The blasts took place at the relief distribution point for internally displaced people." Officials later confirmed that the death toll was 30.

It is not immediately clear who was responsible for the bombing.

Don't be so quick to stereotype Pakistan or Muslims for that matter. Bhutto's gender didn't stop her from having a high-profile political career that spanned 27 years, In which she served as both Prime Minister and Defence Minister. To refer to Pakistan As "The Land of Honor Killings", is like Calling the U.S. the land of the KKK. It isn't very useful to smear a whole country based on the behaviours of a few extremists. If "someone" would've killed her they had 27 years of opportuninities to do it.

Thank heavens for the NHS. The thought of having to buy health insurance I find deeply Appalling.

 * Apparently health is becoming a commodity for those who want to profit of of it, just like anything else. The Corporations that have the power in this regard are sociopathic, invariably pursuing the same goal: MAXIMUM PROFIT, which they will create a system of absolute despotism to procure. They have no sense of caring or kindness, as they are not human beings. Unfortunately we've left the greatest desisions of our time to these non-Human entities, And they rule the world as they see fit. If a person or institution tries to show a shred of humanity in the face of this, They're labelled a "trade barrier" and the Corporate powers find a way to deal with them.

Poland: Around 100,000 people attend public memorial for victims of plane crash

April 18, 2010

A public memorial for the victims of the plane crash that occurred last Saturday where the Polish president, along several members of the Polish government died, was attended by 100,000 citizens of the country in Pilsudski Square of Warsaw.

A gigantic white platform having a giant cross across the centre was constructed in the area which had photos of the victims, including Maria Kaczyński, the first lady of Poland and many high ranking Polish officials. The names of the deceased were read, beginning with the president and his wife, as their only daughter, Marta, and, the twin brother of Lech Kaczyński and former prime minister of the country, looked on. Former President, Prime Minister , and interim president Bronislaw Komorowski were also present. The audience held Polish flags held together with black ribbons and observed a two minute silence before emergency sirens and church bells rang out.

"Our world went crashing down for the second time at the same place," acting President Komorowski said about the crash, which occurred near Russia's Katyn forest, where thousands of Polish soldiers were killed during the second World War. Prime Minister Tusk called the crash "the greatest tragedy in Poland since the war."

It marked the beginning of two days of ceremonies. A funeral Mass for the first couple will follow the memorial. The funeral will be held at St. John's Cathedral at 6 p.m. local time (16:00 GMT) in Warsaw.

The coffins of Lech and Maria Kaczynski were taken to the St. John's Cathedral for the evening Mass. They will be flown to Krakow Sunday morning for the state funeral, Presidential Palace spokesman Jacek Sasin stated.

"During those few days when the palace was open, some 180,000 people came through the palace" to pay their final respects, he said. Some of them waited for as much as 14 hours in the queue, he added. Teresa Winkler, 76, was one of the mourners who said that she came to pay respect to a President "who took care of the people forgotten by society," such as aging soldiers and activists.

"He was a real patriot and a real Pole," Winkler said. "I am afraid it will be hard to find another president like Kaczynski," she noted. Several other groups came to honor the first couple for their work for the nation.

A state funeral for the first couple is slated to be held on Sunday; however, some world leaders canceled their plans to attend it. The principal cause for this was that several European airports remained closed, owing to volcanic ash that hovered in different parts of the continent.

Swedish King Carl XVI Gustaf and Foreign Minister Carl Bildt and Finnish President Tarja Halonen canceled their plans to visit Warsaw for this reason. Spanish Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero, King Juan Carlos I and Queen Sophia were also among those who canceled their trip. Heads of state of Egypt, Macedonia, India, Japan, South Korea, Mexico, New Zealand and Pakistan also canceled their plans to attend the service on Sunday.

American President Barack Obama, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev and French President Nicolas Sarkozy were still expected to arrive. Czech President Vaclav Klaus had stated that he would come to Krakow via train and car, while the presidents of Slovakia and Slovenia said they would arrive by car.

South Korean Prime Minister Chung Un-chan also canceled his plans to attend the state funeral while Cardinal, dean of the College of Cardinals, was unable to travel from Rome to deliver a memorial Mass on Saturday.

The first couple, along with other Polish dignitaries, died when their plane went down in heavy fog after hitting the tops of trees on approach to Smolensk, Russia. They had been on their way to attend a memorial for thousands of Polish army officers who were killed in 1940 by the Soviet Union.

Champaign, Illinois mayor doubts Obama's natural-born citizenship; local politicians divided on whether mayor should resign

April 18, 2010

The mayor of Champaign, Illinois denies that Barack Obama is eligible to hold the highest office in the United States, joining others who question the validity of the president's birth certificate.

Jerry Schweighart said: "I don't think he's American, personally. You know, if you're not willing to produce an original certificate like a birth certificate, then you've got something to hide." The Republican, three-term mayor of the central Illinois city made the comment to a man holding a video camera during a Tea Party protest at West Side Park in Champaign. The man who recorded him apparently was an anti-Tea Party student from the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign.

Schweighart's concerns reflect those held by some Tea Party proponents and "birthers", who claim that Obama is not eligible to be the president because he was not born in the United States. Although officials in Hawaii have confirmed that Obama was born there, birthers still insist that he has not proven his constitutional eligibility as a natural born citizen.

Champaign County Board member Al Kurtz, declaring himself "flabbergasted" by the remarks, has called on the mayor to resign. "It's a ridiculous statement to make, and that's why I felt like he polarized the city with those kinds of bias. I think from this statement, it will make him a very ineffective mayor," he said.

Other local politicians are less concerned by Schweighart's comment, such as city council member Marci Dodds, who does not believe the mayor should resign. "I respect the mayor greatly but I am somewhat disheartened by his comments. However, that was just a dumb comment. If we all get fired for making dumb comments, we'd sure be moving around a lot," she said.
