Two suspected terrorists arrested in Mumbai, India

March 15, 2010 The Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) arrested two men in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India on Sunday for plotting to set the Oil and Natural Gas Corporation Ltd. (ONGC) office on fire and attack a mall and a market. They were arrested on information given by lndian intelligence agencies. The pair was arrested on Saturday, produced in court on Sunday and have been remanded to police custody till 18 March. Police have seized several maps from them.

The men, who are brothers-in-law, have been identified as Abdul Latif Rashid aka Guddu (29) and Riyaz Ali Imtiaz aka Rehan (23), and were arrested in Trombay while allegedly conducting reconnaissance of Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC) following a tip-off by the Intelligence Bureau (IB), according to police reports. The Esplanade metropolitan magistrate sent the pair to police custody till March 18 and charged them under Unlawful Activities Prevention Act.

ATS chief K.P. Raghuvanshi said Adbul and Riyaz had identified three targets in the city; the Thakkar Mall in Borivali (West), the ONGC office and the Mangaldas Market, located at the busy Crawford Market. The suspects had conducted reconnaissance of the Nhava-Sheva area of the Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust (JNPT) in south-east Mumbai, an ATS official said. "The two were preparing to set one of the ONGC establishments in the city on fire following instructions from someone called 'Uncle'," an ATS officer said adding "we are probing if the directions had come from across the border".

IB had intercepted suspicious phone calls, between the two suspects and a 'Chacha' (uncle) in Karachi and the ATS had put them under surveillance. They were arrested after the suspicions were confirmed and backed by solid evidence. Rehan worked as a salesman at the Thakkar Mall, which already had been surveyed by the duo and were awaiting further instructions, according to police. ATS officials did not clarify whether the two were actually going to carry out attacks or were just drawing maps and conducting reconnaissance, being a part of a greater chain of command.

“I have more information about the people arrested, but I will not reveal it at this point as their accomplices, who are still at large, may benefit from it, ” said Maharashtra Home Minister R.R. Patil. He refused to tell if there was a connection between these suspects and the Pune blast last month which killed seventeen people. The Home ministry of India described these arrests as significant, saying that the conspiracy was part of the "Karachi Project".

The so-called Karachi project was revealed by David Headley, a Lashkar-e-Toiba terrorist arrested in US. It is supposedly a collaboration between Lashkar-e-Toiba and Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) agency involving recruitment of serving and retired Pakistani army officers and fugitive terrorists from India to carry out suicide attacks in India.

Sarkozy's party defeated by Socialists in French regional elections

March 15, 2010 The Socialist Party took a strong lead in the first round of regional elections in France on Sunday. Its main opposition the Union for a Popular Movement (UMP), which is the governing party of incumbent President Nicolas Sarkozy, is predicted to be defeated. The election results, while marked by low, strongly favored leftist candidates according to official returns. This has given the ruling right wing party a blow in the last nationwide election before the.

When 96% of votes had been counted, candidates from the Socialist and other leftist parties had won 53.6 percent votes according to the. The conservative UMP party and other right-wing candidates won 39.8 percent. The far-right outdid expectations with 12% of the vote. It seems to be favored by voters concerned about immigration and the growing Muslim population. According to polls the Socialists will win with a majority in the second round in all 26 regions of France. The Socialists already control twenty of the twenty two regions on the French mainland.

Sarkozy has dismissed this result as “regional voting, regional consequences,” but indicated his intention to slow the pace of reforms and make a minor cabinet reshuffle. Prime Minister said "It's not over. Everything is open" before the decisive runoff on March 21. He urged voters who missed the first round to come out for the second round, "at a moment when the economic and financial crisis demands sang-froid, courage and unity." , a leader of Sarkozy’s parliamentary group said “We had massive abstention — that is, an absolute record,”. Sarkozy supporters argued that the “triumphalism” of the leftists had been tempered by the record voter abstention, on television debates.

Socialist leader, in a speech to supporters Sunday night, called the result "encouraging". "By this vote the French people have sent a clear and strong message of refusal to a France that is divided, anguished and weakened," she said. She urged supporters to come out again next Sunday “to give a win to hope” that Sarkozy could be defeated in 2012.

Former Socialist Prime Minister Laurent Fabius called it "an excellent halftime for the Socialists," saying that voters wanted to voice their displeasure against Sarkozy's policies. He said the high rate of abstention indicated Sarkozy's failure to motivate citizens facing economic crisis and record unemployment. Ségolène Royal, expected to be Sarkozy's Socialist opponent in 2012 called this election "a severe sanction vote" against Sarkozy.

The 81-year-old National Front leader, Jean-Marie Le Pen, said, "The National Front was declared beaten, dead, buried by the president. This shows that it is still a national force, and probably destined to become greater and greater". He appeared on national television after the vote, holding a poster banned by a court that reads: "No to ." He called on voters to back the party again in round two, saying his party was "combative and capable of rebuilding this country, which is in a horrible state."

The National Front has tied for third-place nationally with, the green-minded party campaigning about climate change, each winning 12 percent of the vote."Europe Écologie is the third political force," in France, said , a leader of the party. It has frayed a "tremendous path," he said. His candidates are expected to align with the Socialists in many regions for the runoff polls.

Sarkozy had promised reforms to make the economy more dynamic before he was elected in 2007. But he changed this free-market strategy when the financial crisis hit and called for "moral capitalism" and proposed limiting bankers' bonuses and global regulation of s. Sarkozy's successful intervention to keep carmaker from outsourcing jobs to Turkey and stimulus packages failed to lower the 10% unemployment rate inviting anger of the French citizens and causing his approval rating to fall below 40 percent. He was not able to stop the numerous strikes and protests by factory workers in recent months. He also started the '' debate on the basis of which the far-right National Front has succeeded.

Turnout was estimated to be around 48 percent of France's 44 million eligible voters, a sharp drop from the roughly 60 percent who voted in 2004.

Italian police deal strong blow to Mafia network

March 18, 2010 Italian police have arrested nineteen people forming a network of abettors to the mafia's most wanted criminal, Matteo Messina Denaro. This network worked as a primitive but effective communication system used by the fugitive boss to keep himself atop the chain of command.

In a large and coordinated operation across Italy the police have arrested nineteen people who delivered the pizzini, small paper messages carrying commands from the fugitive boss.

Among the captured criminals are the 83-year-old Antonino Marotta, a mafia veteran who served under Salvatore Giuliano, and several relatives of Messina Denaro, including his brother Salvatore.

Italian Interior Minister Roberto Maroni was satisfied by the operation and stated his optimism about a possible capture of Matteo Messina Denaro himself.

In the meantime, Messina Denaro's control over his territory remains strong. A few months ago, the car and house of Pasquale Calamia, a member of the town council of Castelvetrano, were torched because he publicly stated that Messina Denaro's continued liberty around Castelvetrano was a shame for the town.

Seven die in bombing in Falluja, Iraq

March 15, 2010

At least seven died in a double attack in Falluja, Iraq today. The attack occurred near a military checkpoint in the western Anbar province of the country. 29 were wounded in the attack.

According to officials, the attacks occurred successively, at around 9:00 am (06:00 GMT) in the city, 30 kilometers from the capital, Baghdad. Captain Bashar Mohammed, a police station chief in the city, said the bomber parked his vehicle full of explosives close to a military checkpoint in the central part of the city.

The attacker then left it and detonated his explosives vest near a group of laborers. The bomb in the car, parked about 150 meters from the checkpoint, exploded shortly afterwards. No soldiers were wounded, according to officials. The death toll was confirmed by Ahmed Abdul Halim, a local medic.

"The blast rocked the area and I found myself suddenly on the floor," said 30-year-old Mohammed Abdullah, a shopkeeper who was one of the victims. "Once I saw the smoke and the burning car, I immediately knew it was a bomb," he added.

Tamil party drops commitment to independence from Sri Lanka

March 15, 2010

The Tamil National Alliance (TNA), the chief political party of the ethnic Tamil group in Sri Lanka, has said in its manifesto for upcoming elections that it would accept a "federal structure" for the country. Since its formation in 2001, the TNA had previously aimed for full independence for Tamil regions. The party also stated it would encourage non-violent civil disobedience in support of Tamil rights.

Sri Lanka's civil war has killed up to 100,000 people, after the Tamil Tiger rebel group began its armed struggle in 1983. The TNA had widely been viewed as a political wing to the Tigers. In 2009 the Sri Lankan government launched a major military assault against Tiger militants in the north of the country, which displaced around 280,000 people and provoked international controversy. However it succeeded in defeating the rebels, and led to the re-election of president Mahinda Rajapaksa this year.

The TNA, a coalition of various Tamil parties, currently holds 22 seats in the Sri Lankan parliament but has been weakened by the defeat of the Tigers. Since its formation in 2001 it has pushed for independence for the Tamil dominated regions of the north and east, but has had to avoid any direct endorsement of separatism, which would be considered illegal.

In the new manifesto, released on Saturday, the party also said that it would begin a civil disobedience movement in the style of Mahatma Gandhi. One section said: "If the Sri Lankan state continues its present style of governance without due regard to the rights of the Tamil-speaking peoples, [we] will launch a peaceful, non-violent campaign of civil disobedience on the Gandhian model."

The parliamentary elections in Sri Lanka are due to occur on 8 April. The government are also hoping to strengthen their position, and achieve the two-thirds majority they need to enact changes to the constitution.

Press Communication---

A New Nazi Court in Italy against Croatian Journalist --

Nazi proceedings against foreigners again on Italian courts !

Title: Warrant Arrest for the Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi sent to General Attorney of UK -- Some very influential judges, lawyers and public notaries, among them also a state attorney from Rome, launched under file No 4986/06 PM 140, a court's proceeding in Rome under Nazi laws, against distinguished intellectuals from Croatia. The same group of Nazi - judges from Italy confiscated de facto the private apartment of a reputable scientist from Croatia with terror and falsified court's documents, including all the assets in the apartment, the private library, scientific works written on floppy discs, a laptop, some cash and family antiquities of priceless value. The value of these assets exceeds 1.100.000,00 Euro. After this same group of judges and lawyers confiscated all the assets and property of the innocent foreigner based on Nazi methods, in a new legal proceeding in Rome, the state attorney Mrs. M. Letizia Golfieri, demands punishment not only for the owner of the apartment from Split, but also his attorney from Split, which could sentence them to a long term prison penalty, pursuant to the provisions of clause 368 of the Criminal Law of Italy. "Americans, Jews, Croats_.and dogs - Out of Italy! Against you foreigners we apply only the fascist criminal law_.! This is the favourite slogan of judge Antonio Costanza from Imola, who accepted some six years ago the forged legal documents. He ordered them from attorney Michele Sarti, notary public Giorgio Forni from Bologna and Stefano Galletti from the real estate agency Tecnocasa from Molinella, all in form of legal lawsuit No 21215/00 against the respected Croatian scientist, journalist and writer. "Very honourable Mr. President_"- wrote last year the known lawyer from Split to the President of the court in Bologna, Mr. Antonino Cricchia- "...a group of Italian citizens has secretly organized themselves in the year 2000 and wants to confiscate illegally, based on falsified documentation, the apartment owned by Prof. I.C. in Molinella (BO), Via Asiago 7.

Comments:World-record wind speed confirmed

There wasn't a human being on the island when the machine instruments recorded it. Where as on Mount Washington there was a machine there to record along with a person to confirm that the instruments were right. Mount Washington still holds the record.

However, the Mount Washington Executive Director Scot Henley believes it's appropriate for an international organization (World Meteorological Organization)to investigate international weather events, and while everyone associated with the Mount Washington observatory wishes the record could remain with them, Henley says "there is no indication that points to it [the new record] being inaccurate." So it seems that Barrow Island, Australia does hold the new world record.

Paul Schneider leaving NBC's Parks and Recreation; Rob Lowe, Adam Scott to appear in series

March 15, 2010

The NBC comedy series Parks and Recreation will experience a shake-up in its cast as Paul Schneider, a regular cast member with the critically acclaimed series, will depart at the end of this season.

Officials with the show have also announced this month that Rob Lowe will make an extended guest appearance on the series, and Adam Scott will join as a regular cast member.

Michael Schur, who co-created Parks and Recreation along with The Office creator Greg Daniels, said Schneider is expected to make guest appearances in the third season.

Schneider plays Mark Brendanawicz, a jaded city planner who started in the first season as a love interest for the show's protagonist Leslie Knope (Amy Poehler), the deputy director of a small town Indiana town. Currently, Schneider's character is dating Rashida Jones's character, Ann Perkins.

Schneider is leaving the show to focus on his movie career, following the success of such independent films as Bright Star. Schur added when the character was originally conceived, it was anticipated he would appear infrequently in Parks and Recreation, switching between his city planner job and work in the private sector.

"It's not something you usually do on TV shows but we thought it was a good way to illustrate both the positive and negative aspects of working for a government," Schur told the Los Angeles Times. "It was one of the first things we talked about with him."

Schur added, "He's going to remain in the world of the show in a way that not only allows but hopefully demands that he'll reenter it. He's not going to be killed in some weird accident."

Lowe and Scott are expected to join the show in May, during the final two episodes of the season. Schur has indicated they will both play characters coming in from outside Pawnee to help the town deal with budget problems.

Lowe, fresh off his departure from the ABC drama series Brothers & Sisters, will continue a string of guest appearances into the third season.

Adam Scott would leave his regular role on the Starz comedy series Party Down to join the permanent cast of Parks and Recreation.

"Adam is one of the funniest and most versatile performers around," Schur told Variety magazine. "When we designed the character he is going to play, we used him as the dream scenario of who we could get."

Parks and Recreation received mixed to negative reviews during its first season, with detractors claiming it was too similar to The Office, and that Leslie Knope too closely resembled that show's protagonist Michael Scott), played by Steve Carell.

But The second season, despite lagging in the Nielsen ratings, has been a critical success, with several commentators declaring it a major improvement over the first season and one of the best comedies currently on television.

David Beckham to miss World Cup with injury

March 15, 2010 Soccer player David Beckham has had surgery for an injury to his Achilles tendon. As a result, he has been ruled out of playing in this summer's World Cup.

Beckham, a 34-year-old midfielder who would have played for the English national team, snapped the tendon on his left leg, and underwent surgery today in Finland. The injury will end his season, and rehabilitation for the wound is expected to take up to six months. The doctor performing the operation said that training could not begin until June, and it would be at least another month before Beckham could return to playing competitively.

Despite early speculation that the injury could mark the end of Beckham's 18-year career, a spokesman rejected the claims, saying, "This is not the end of his playing career as has been suggested." In the same statement, it was said that even if Beckham is unable to play in the World Cup, he will continue to play as a member of an American team, the Los Angeles Galaxy, during the end of the season.

Beckham sustained the injury near the end of a game on Sunday night, when he suddenly stopped running and limped from the field on his healthy leg before collapsing on the sidelines. He was treated on the field for about five minutes before being carried off on a stretcher.

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 Satpal192. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Satpal192~enwikinews that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything.

 * Hi. You got the vandalism warning as it looked like just random blanking of the field on the peer review template, as opposed to actual dispute of newsworthiness. The peer review template is considered someones comments on an article, and it is generally considered inappropriate to edit them. If you want to dispute the newsworthiness of something, please do so by adding a comment under that template about why you think it is not newsworthy. However current wikinews policy is that local news is newsworthy (on the idea that once we have a significant volume of articles, the main page will be filtered to have only the most news worthy articles). Cheers. Bawolff ☺☻ 02:44, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

p.s. Don't worry about the vandalism warning, its clear that your intention was not malicious, so no harm done. Bawolff ☺☻ 02:44, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

p.p.s By the way, it should be noted that Wikinews and Wikipedia are related, but separate projects, with different rules/standards as well as different main pages. (Wikinews main page vs Wikipedia main page) Bawolff ☺☻ 02:44, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

Haha, thanks for all the info. 216.237.232.178 (talk) 18:40, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

 * I do not necessarily disagree with you as it pertains to the newsworthiness of said article. I'd venture to say you may be right. However, while you could and should have constructively made your point in the form of a comment on the talk page, you instead chose to impulsively tamper with the reviewing template. It was at that point in which you crossed the line into vandalism. PSD27 (talk) 03:12, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

Nigerian city hit by bomb blasts after rebel warning

March 16, 2010 Nigerian officials have said that at least two bombings struck a government office building in the African nation on Monday, after a rebel group warned that it had placed explosives around its perimeter.

The incident occurred in the city of Warri in the Southern Delta province. No government officials were killed or injured in the blasts, spokesman Linus Chima told media. However, it was not immediately clear whether there were any civilian casualties.

"Everybody is safe. There was an explosion but the security people are taking care of it," the public relations aide to provincial Governor Felix Ofou told the Financial Times by telephone. The Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND) rebel group claimed responsibility for the explosions. In a statement, the Delta State Commissioner for Information, Oma Djebah, said the bombs were placed in vehicles around 200 metres from the building.

Officials were meeting in the offices, contemplating plans regarding amnesty given to Nigerian rebels who agreed to stop fighting. The meeting "has been put off," Djebah noted, adding that officials were evacuated. He did not specify when the gathering would be resumed.

The Delta State Governor Emmanuel Uduaghan and the minister for the Niger Delta were among those at the meeting. "It was a plan to scuttle the peace talks," Chima said of the blasts.

"The people of the Niger Delta will not be intimidated or deterred by the act of a few opposed to a peaceful and non-violent approach to resolving the historic grievances of the region. We assure all that we will not be deterred in our determination to fast-track our development for our people," Chima continued.

The MEND group said in an e-mail statement that it had placed three bombs, with two to be blown up remotely at 11:30 local time. Officials did not immediately comment on a third bomb. The rebel group has said it wants fairer distribution of Nigeria's oil.

MEND spokesman Jomo Gbomo remarked in the email message that "[i]n the coming days, we will carry out a number of attacks against installations and oil companies across the Niger Delta, and [the attacks] will spread out to companies such as Total which have been spared in the past. We hope the actions which will follow will persuade Mr. Uduaghan that we exist outside of cyberspace."

The e-mail further read that "[t]he deceit of endless dialogue and conferences will no longer be tolerated. The lands of the people of the Niger delta [were] stolen by the oil companies and northern Nigeria with the stroke of a pen."

Thread:Comments:Paleontologists reaffirm the cause of dino extinction/Dino extinction - confirmation?/reply (5)

In response to Patrick M's comments, it is suggested within The Impact And Exit Event theory that the Deccan Traps are argued as evidence which supports the 'exit' element of the implied sequence of events the theory covers. Try researching the magnetic composition Bold textof the entire region of the Deccan Traps. IMO the magnetism of the rock supports the impact and exit event theory. Another indicator of the 'rapidity' of the way in which the Deccan Traps was laid down ...could be the absolute lack of erosion during the 'scientificly' derived timescales involved.

25 dead after fire in Chinese coal mine

March 16, 2010 According to local media, 25 people have died in an illegal coal mine in central China, after a fire broke out there.

The incident occurred at the mines of the Dongxing Coal Mining Company, near the city of Zhengzhou, the capital of the Henan province. It is believed that the fire was started by an electrical fault, the Xinhua news agency reports. There were 31 total miners inside the mine; six were able to escape, but the others burnt to death.

The owner, manager, and an investor of the mine were taken into police custody on Monday. Their assets, and those of the mine, have been frozen by the authorities. It was not immediately clear what caused the blaze, although an investigation is underway.

China's mines are the deadliest in the world; according to Al Jazeera, several thousand miners die each year due to accidents in them. Earlier this month, over 30 people were killed in another coal mine in the northern part of the country, after a flood. The government has pledged to crack down upon illegal mines and enforce safety rules.

Chilean earthquakes: in pictures

March 18, 2010

On February 27, Chile was hit by an magnitude 8.8 earthquake; almost 500 were killed, with resulting tsunami destroying most coastal towns between Llolleo and Araucanía Region. A second earthquake last week, with its epicentre in Pichilemu, caused destruction in the Coquimbo and Bío Bío regions.

A Wikinews contributor is in the area, and we look at the extent of this natural disaster's damage through his photographs.

If this is the best WN can get, I am disappointed. There are numerous grammatical errors in the photo descriptions. The photos do not describe as much as they should. For example: In the photo of the "broken" bridge, I can't see any evidence of damage. To think that this passed 7-0 (or whatever the number was) is very disappointing. Since I can't edit the page, I think that this page should be fixed or removed as a FA. Griffinofwales (talk) 21:35, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

Thread:Comments:UK government plans to replace House of Lords with elected chamber/God Save the Queen! She ain't no human being!/reply

Yeah, I'm not seeing how the monarchy is causing any problems currently. They have no actual power, don't leech off any money from the government and as proven during the war, can have a positive effect when the going gets tough. I'm assuming by 'president', you were referring to the kind that other countries like France and Germany have and honestly, isn't it kind of pointless to remove one figurehead and replace it with another, even if the latter is a elected one?

I do however agree with getting rid of the House of Lords, since its utterly useless compared to the Commons.

Request for reviewing and other assistance
Hi. Next week is the start of the and two Wikinewies will be attending to cover the para-alpine skiing ahead of the 2014 Winter Paralympics. This is part of an effort outlined at IPC Alpine Ski World Championships. Immediately following this event, there will be a Meetup in Barcelona where Wikinews, the Paralympics and efforts to similar sport coverage will be discussed. At the moment, there are only two active reviewers on a daily basis. Demonstrating an ability to get reviews for these types of events done quickly is important for Wikinews credibility and gaining access to these types of events. I would really appreciate it if you could sign up on the IPC World Championship page to review, promote articles published during this period, assist in translating these articles into another language or attend the meetup in Barcelona. Thanks. --LauraHale (talk) 09:29, 15 February 2013 (UTC)

Wikinews Writing contest 2013 is here. :) Please sign up to participate?
We've created the Writing contest 2013, which will start on April 1 and end on June 1. It is modeled on the successful 2010 contest. Unlike the previous version, points are available for people who conduct reviews. (With a University of Wollongong class currently contributing articles, extra assistance is appreciated at this time.) It presents a great incentive for you to renew your reviewing chops, contribute some original reporting not being done by the main stream media, and write some synthesis articles on topics that could use more attention. People should be around to review to prevent a backlog if you just want to write, and several reviewers have access to scoop to make it easier to review any original reporting you do. If you are interested in signing up, please do so on Writing contest 2013/entrants. There is at least one prize on offer for the winner along with the opportunity to earn some barn stars as a way of thanking you for your participation. :D --LauraHale (talk) 10:35, 25 March 2013 (UTC)

Inactive Policy
Per the proposed inactive policy, yopur account has been nominated to have its privileges reduced. --
 * Wait, under a proposed policy? How does that work? Foxj (talk) 16:20, 11 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Inactive Policy doesn't mention reviewers. I'm not sure what benefit removing Foxj's reviewer privileges are. It's not like he's suddenly going to be unqualified to review news stories. If his account security is breached, the breachers might be rather more concerned with his Wikipedia Oversight privileges than his ability to review WN stories. Inactive Policy seems a pretty pointless exercise given our current level of inactivity on the site... —Tom Morris (talk) 16:35, 11 October 2013 (UTC)
 * This is all quite unnecessary. The proposed inactive policy is now of only historical interest, because we have an enacted policy, WN:PeP, which does cover reviewer — and actually doesn't require prior notification, though it certainly doesn't prohibit it.  --Pi zero (talk) 17:17, 11 October 2013 (UTC)
 * As long as there is a policy covering this. But citing one from 2007 just seemed odd. Foxj (talk) 18:16, 11 October 2013 (UTC)

Privileges
'''Note! Your privileges on English Wikinews have been reduced.'''
 * Under the Privilege expiry policy (enacted October 13, 2012) the rights held by your user account have been reduced due to inactivity, or lack of privilege use.

 * Point 4 of the Privilege expiry policy provides for fast-tracking reacquisition of privileges. We all understand that real-life commitments can severely curtail the level of commitment you can give to Wikinews; the privilege reduction is in no way intended as a reflection on your past work, or to imply you are unwelcome. The aim in curtailing privileges is to address security risks, and concern that a long period of inactivity means you may not be up-to-date with current policy and practices.

 * Per this version of WN:RfP, you may review the public announcement of this change. --Brian McNeil / talk 09:57, 29 October 2013 (UTC)

Return??
You've been gone for quite some time. Any chance you might return??--Bddpaux (talk) 15:53, 9 September 2022 (UTC)

Israeli foreign minister reportedly boycotts Brazilian President's visit

March 16, 2010

Israel's foreign minister has reportedly boycotted Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva's tour of the Middle East. Avigdor Lieberman did not attend Lula's address at the Knesset or his meeting with Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu. According to close sources, Lieberman refused to attend over President Lula's refusal to visit and to lay a wreath on the grave of Zionist movement founder Theodor Herzl.

Israel created a policy to honour Herzl's 150th birthday by having all visiting heads of state lay a wreath on his grave, however Lula's staff said they were only informed a week before his visit when his schedule had already been planned.

Treasurer of the World Zionist Movement Haggai Merom said that Lula's actions were an "insult to Israel's citizens and to Zionist communities around the world, including to the Jewish community in Brazil." He also compared his refusal to visit Herzl's grave to refusing to visit "the grave of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk in Turkey or the tomb of Mahatma Gandhi in India."

During his visit, Lula confirmed to President Shimon Peres that Israel had been accepted as the first non-South American partner in the free trade group, Mercosur.

Lula is also visiting the Palestinian territories and Jordan, and in May he will visit Iran.

Muammar al-Gaddafi: Divide Nigeria in two to avoid bloodshed

March 16, 2010

Libyan leader Muammar al-Gaddafi has said that Nigeria should be divided into two separate nations to avoid further violence between and. He was quoted as saying that the spilt "would stop the bloodshed and burning of places of worship."

During his speech to students, Gaddafi spoke about the. He called that division a "historic, radical solution" which saved the lives of "millions of Hindus and Muslims," despite reports that one million people were killed.

He also called the recent violence in a "deep conflict of a religious nature," and put the blame on the British stating that the federal state was imposed by.

Around 100 people have died already this year in violence near the city of Jos. A senior Nigerian diplomat responded to Gaddafi's comments saying that he "did not take the suggestion seriously."

Thread:Comments:UK government plans to replace House of Lords with elected chamber/God Save the Queen! She ain't no human being!/reply (4)

The only reason this is happening is because the government sees the Lords as an impediment to its ability to pass whatever laws they want. The Lords has rejected several Draconian Labour bills over the years; an elected house would bring them under complete control of the whips without all that scandalous cash-for-peerages nonsense.

Patrick has yet to state exactly what it is that the monarchy has done, even in history (were that indeed a valid argument for overthrowing them today), that is so vile; and that last comment doesn't seem to make any sense - 'please excuse my opinions, I'm inherently biased'?

Officers reprimanded for crashing British nuclear sub

March 17, 2010

A British Royal Navy commander was reprimanded on Monday by a court martial, after pleading guilty to "failing to ensure the safe direction" of the submarine HMS Superb. Commander Steven Drysdale was in charge of the nuclear-powered submarine in May 2008, when it struck a rock pinnacle 132 metres below the surface. A navigation chart showed the pinnacle, but Drysdale said that he had misread its depth as 732 metres.

Officer of the Watch Lieutenant-Commander Andrew Cutler and Navigating Officer Lieutenant Lee Blair were also reprimanded for their part in the incident by the court martial, held at the HMS Nelson centre at Portsmouth naval base.

The £32 million submarine was in the Red Sea, heading for the Persian Gulf, and was suffering from technical problems at the time which were slowing it down. The officers decided to dive from 100m to 250m, which would allow them to travel faster and reach their destination on time.

According to prosecutor Captain Stuart Crozier: "The three defendants all looked at the chart and the sub was taken to 250m. No thorough check was made to establish whether this depth was safe from obstacles."

Lieutenant-Commander Cutler then realised that a change to the route could shorten it. “On assessing the chart, Officer of the Watch Cutler saw he could cut the corner of a dog-leg, saving about three to four miles," said Crozier. "He then instructed the plot officer to draw a new line on the chart. However Lieutenant-Commander Cutler did not check the depth around this new track."

"Unfortunately, with the sub now dived to 250m, this new track went directly over a pinnacle which showed only 132m of available depth."

The new route was plotted directly over the pinnacle on the chart, and the court martial was told that this made it harder to spot the error. None of the officers, including Commander Drysdale, realised that they had put the vessel on a collision course.

HMS Superb struck the pinnacle at 10.01 on May 26, suffering damage to its bow and sonar equipment. There were no casualties, but the submarine was forced to abandon its mission and return to the United Kingdom. It was decommissioned in September 2008, though the Ministry of Defence said that this was not due to the accident.

Commander Alison Towler, representing Drysdale, said that he accepted full responsibility and had "deep remorse and regret" over the incident. "He believes that due to the surrounding information he simply misread 132m as 732m" she said. "It was only later that he realised the plot officer had drawn the sub’s new transit straight through the pinnacle, which made it even harder for it to be seen."

Navigating Officer Blair also pleaded guilty to failing to take into account all the dangers in or near the planned movements, and Officer of the Watch Cutler pleaded guilty to failing to supervise the plot officer adequately. All three officers will continue to serve in the Navy, but Drysdale has been moved to a desk job and will not be taking up the position in Washington DC he had planned to.

Captain Philip Warwick, president of the court martial board, told the three: "It was indeed fortunate that no one was hurt and we note that the submarine could not complete its deployment in full. The failings were unacceptable and we take an extremely dim view of them."

The Royal Navy has since brought in new procedures on submarines to prevent a repeat of the incident, requiring that all depths are rechecked when plotting a new route.

While I hold nothing personal against the British Royal Family, It does seem incredibly antiquated for a state that purports to be a democracy to maintain vestiges of a system which is clearly undemocratic. By lavishly furnishing a lifetime position which is inherited, it only serves to undermine the credibility of the United Kingdom to the rest of the world. Frankly it is quite embarrassing for a modern state to hold on to such a frivolous pursuit, especially in light of the very real possibility of Scotland becoming an independent republic in the next 25 years.

Talk:Media reports exaggerate cell phone cancer risk

'''Editing Talk: Media reports exaggerate cell phone cancer risk ''' The Khurana et al study was published in a peer-reviewed journal (see 1 below). Furthermore, our research group published another meta-analysis in a peer-reviewed journal that arrived at similar conclusions (see 2 below). Please update this article.

Thanks,

Abstract

Background The debate regarding the health effects of low-intensity electromagnetic radiation from sources such as power lines, base stations, and cell phones has recently been reignited. In the present review, the authors attempt to address the following question: is there epidemiologic evidence for an association between long-term cell phone usage and the risk of developing a brain tumor? Included with this meta-analysis of the long-term epidemiologic data are a brief overview of cell phone technology and discussion of laboratory data, biological mechanisms, and brain tumor incidence.

Methods In order to be included in the present meta-analysis, studies were required to have met all of the following criteria: (i) publication in a peer-reviewed journal; (ii) inclusion of participants using cell phones for 10 years (ie, minimum 10-year “latency”); and (iii) incorporation of a “laterality” analysis of long-term users (ie, analysis of the side of the brain tumor relative to the side of the head preferred for cell phone usage). This is a meta-analysis incorporating all 11 long-term epidemiologic studies in this field.

Results The results indicate that using a cell phone for 10 years approximately doubles the risk of being diagnosed with a brain tumor on the same (“ipsilateral”) side of the head as that preferred for cell phone use. The data achieve statistical significance for glioma and acoustic neuroma but not for meningioma.

Conclusion The authors conclude that there is adequate epidemiologic evidence to suggest a link between prolonged cell phone usage and the development of an ipsilateral brain tumor.

Abstract

From the Smoking Cessation Clinic, Center for Cancer Prevention and Detection; Division of Cancer Prevention, National Cancer Control Research Institute, National Cancer Center, Goyang; Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, School of Medicine, Ewha Womans University; Department of Family Medicine, Seoul National University Hospital, Seoul, Republic of Korea; and Center for Family and Community Health, School of Public Health, University of California, Berkeley, Berkeley, CA.

Purpose Case-control studies have reported inconsistent findings regarding the association between mobile phone use and tumor risk. We investigated these associations using a meta-analysis.

Methods We searched MEDLINE (PubMed), EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library in August 2008. Two evaluators independently reviewed and selected articles based on predetermined selection criteria.

Results Of 465 articles meeting our initial criteria, 23 case-control studies, which involved 37,916 participants (12,344 patient cases and 25,572 controls), were included in the final analyses. Compared with never or rarely having used a mobile phone, the odds ratio for overall use was 0.98 for malignant and benign tumors (95% CI, 0.89 to 1.07) in a random-effects meta-analysis of all 23 studies. However, a significant positive association (harmful effect) was observed in a random-effects meta-analysis of eight studies using blinding, whereas a significant negative association (protective effect) was observed in a fixed-effects meta-analysis of 15 studies not using blinding. Mobile phone use of 10 years or longer was associated with a risk of tumors in 13 studies reporting this association (odds ratio = 1.18; 95% CI, 1.04 to 1.34). Further, these findings were also observed in the subgroup analyses by methodologic quality of study. Blinding and methodologic quality of study were strongly associated with the research group.

Conclusion The current study found that there is possible evidence linking mobile phone use to an increased risk of tumors from a meta-analysis of low-biased case-control studies. Prospective cohort studies providing a higher level of evidence are needed. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19826127

Talk:Officers reprimanded for crashing British nuclear sub

I realise there's some confusion over the numbers for depths. I've gone with 132m/732m rather than 123m/723m based on a quick survey of other sources. Note that the Times source has multiple direct quotes with those numbers in, whilst the Grauniad goes with 123m/723m but has something of a reputation for typos. the wub "?!"  22:03, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

US plan for broadband Internet released

March 17, 2010 The United States Federal Communications Commission released a plan to provide broadband Internet access to at least 90% of the American population today, and sent a copy of the plan to Congress, which will consider whether to introduce legislation to enact portions of the proposal. Other parts will be decided on by various government agencies.

The plan is intended to spur adoption of broadband Internet in the US by extending broadband access to areas of the country, such as rural areas, that do not currently have such access, as well as substantially increasing the speed of existing broadband installations. Currently, only around 65% of American households have broadband connectivity; if approved, the new plan would increase that number to 90% by 2020. According to a statement from the FCC, the plan would provide a "foundation for economic growth, job creation, global competitiveness and a better way of life."

Opposition to the plan is largely based on two points, which are cost, estimated be as much as $350 billion, and the effect on current users of airwaves, which new broadband access would use. According to the FCC, the plan would end up being revenue-neutral, thanks to income from the auctioning of airwaves, although in past such auctions revenue has gone to the US government. Separately, the proposal would include some changes to regulations over Internet lines, which are largely opposed by the industry, as well as plans to introduce a new fee for use of the airwaves, which are currently untaxed.

"and the effect on current users of airwaves, which new broadband access would use.

That would be a great place to be specific. How does broadband have anything to do with the airwaves. Most broadband involves wires. (this would be a great place to name the technology being proposed. Is it WiMax or something similar?). "would include some changes in regulation over Internet lines" - what does that mean. The internet is a big thing, and could be regulated in many ways. Bawolff ☺☻ 23:15, 16 March 2010 (UTC)
 * This is the government we're talking about. Since when have they been specific about anything? That said, my impression from the articles is that the plans are for cellular broadband, which use airwaves just like cell phones. For example, I'm writing this using a Verizon wireless connection, presumably over the same airwaves that Verizon uses for cell phone networks.  (Whether this is from cell towers or satellites, I'm not sure, but I don't think it matters.)  From what I can tell, this connection is roughly the same as what is being proposed, except way slower.  The regulation, I assume, is over the rights to the airwaves.  I got most of that stuff from the WSJ article, so have a look at that if you're still confused, and feel free to berate me if I've totally screwed up my interpretation of it.

Just as a general note, Wikinews articles need at least two sources and three paragraphs of text to be published. This guide is a useful starting point for Wikinews writing since it's different than writing on Wikipedia. — Mike moral  ♪♫  21:23, 22 July 2013 (UTC)

Thread:Comments:Muammar al-Gaddafi: Divide Nigeria in two to avoid bloodshed/Mr.Al-Gaddafi/reply

I think the guy is right if you ask me. I am an Nigerian and if you want to know the truth, its that the Muslim north with no oil have ruled the Christian south since the British left and have left the south who sit on the countries oil with virtually nothing while developing the north. To make matters worse the ecological damage has made things worse for the people of the south especially the Niger Delta where the people who depend on fishing and farming are now having problems as oil spills have destroyed the soil for farming and the rivers, waters are pools of dead fish and oil. Its difficult for people who live in such conditions to sit and wait for UN hand outs when they can fight for what's rightfully theirs. I do agree the a split would amount to bloodshed but on the long term it would be better for the people because the division between the north and the south is not exactly a thin one. Its wider than the ocean between Africa and the Americas. So the sacrifice would definitely be worth it.
