Staffordshire hoard goes on display in British Museum in London, England

November 4, 2009

Some of the notable pieces from the gold and silver hoard which was found in a private field in, England by a metal-detector user have been put on display in the in the city of London.

Approximately 1,500 pieces were found in July of this year; the discovery was reported by news sources in September. The value of the hoard itself is still being checked. 18 of the pieces have now gone on display in the museum in London, England, and can be seen by members of the public.

Fred Johnson, who is the owner of the land in which the hoard was found, said: "It's been an incredible experience.  I'm overwhelmed by it all.  They say this will change the history books; it's a strange thought that came from something lying in my field all this time.  I'm trying to keep a level head about it.  I'm trying not to think at all about the value of it." Johnson will share the sum of the value of the hoard with Terry Herbert, who found the pieces. The hoard is believed to date back to the 7th century.

"People laugh at metal detectorists," Herbert said in late September. "I've had people go past and go 'beep beep, he's after pennies'. Well no, we are out there to find this kind of stuff and it is out there."

Michael Lewis is the deputy head of the Department of Portable Antiquities in the British Museum. Speaking to about this event, he said: "The view is that it was probably in some sort of container but that has not survived and it was deliberately hoarded, put into the ground, what is unclear is why, and I suppose what we find is they would have been objects that had been stripped from the enemies' weapons.

"What is interesting about the hoard as a whole is all the objects are associated with war to some or a greater extent. What the hoard consists of is mainly gold objects, there are some silver ones, basically they have been stripped from whatever they were on for instance sword fittings. What it demonstrates is that the as a people were very able to do amazing things with objects and I reckon people nowadays attempting to make these objects would have great difficulty in doing so."

Australian rules football International cup "community event": Australian Football League

November 5, 2009

The Australian Football League (AFL) has confirmed to Wikinews that the Australian Football International Cup has been played as a community event "with open access to enable any supporters of all teams to be able to attend." The preliminary games of the 2008 International Cup were played predominately at Royal Park, Melbourne with spectators able to watch without purchasing tickets.

"All matches in the past have been open through the preliminary rounds, with the Grand Final played at the MCG as a curtain-raiser to an AFL match [sic]," the AFL said in a statement.

Papua New Guinea (PNG) defeated New Zealand (NZ) in the final of the latest Australian Football International Cup. They had previously finished second to Ireland in 2002 and New Zealand in 2005.

PNG will go into the 2011 Cup as defending champions.

European criticism
Last month, AFL Germany criticized the AFL for providing insufficient funding to European leagues. Germany has a a local league with some success but AFL Germany holds the position that money that would be spent sending a team to the International Cup would be better spent developing the game locally.

"We would be in exactly the same situation today if we would have never had any contact with the AFL," said AFL Germany president Malte Schudlich.

Cup broadcasting
"We don’t have any consideration at this time for a broadcasting arrangement for the 2011 International Cup," the AFL said in the response to Wikinews'.

Conceivably this opens the door for broadcasters to broadcast International Cup matches without reimbursing the AFL, the de facto world governing body for Australian rules football.

Overseas exhibition game
In the past, AFL clubs have played an exhibition or Pre-Season Cup game at an overseas location. The AFL currently has no plans for this to happen, in any form, in 2010. "At this point, we don’t have any matches planned for overseas in the lead-up to the 2010 season, but are prepared to consider some options for 2011 if the economic situation improves," the AFL told Wikinews.

Tom Menino wins historic fifth term as Mayor of Boston; plus results from area cities

November 4, 2009 With sixteen years under his belt, Thomas Menino has won his fifth term as Mayor of Boston, longer than any other mayor in Boston's history since it elected its first mayor nearly 200 years ago. Menino became acting mayor on July 12, 1993 when he assumed the position after the resignation of Mayor Ray Flynn, who left to become Ambassador to the Holy See. Menino won his first election that November. On July 12 of this year, he became Boston's longest reigning mayor.

Menino defeated his opponents, the combined team of City Councilors At-Large Michael Flahtery and Sam Yoon, 57.3% to 42.4%. Menino addressed his supporters at the Fairmont Copley Plaza Hotel saying, "The headlines may read that today we were elected to a fifth, historic term. Let's be clear: We haven't made history with this election, but we will, with what we create of it."

Across the city, at Venezia, an Italian restaurant in Dorchester, a somber Flahtery told the crowd, "Although the outcome of this election was not what any of us had hoped for, we have had some important conversations over the last year and we've also raised the expectations of Bostonians throughout every single neighborhood." He added, "We've given a voice to many people in this city who have not been heard for years."

Flahtery hoped to beat Menino using a unique tactic by adopting a running mate, fellow city councilor Sam Yoon, who placed third in the September primary election. Had Flahtery won, Yoon was to become deputy mayor, a position that was abolished after Mayor Kevin White left office in 1984.

Meanwhile, in Newton, Boston's western neighbor and the tenth-largest city in the state, voters elected it's first African-American mayor, Setti Warren, who is a former aide to Massachusetts Senator John Kerry. Warren is also an intelligence officer in the United States Navy Reserve who has served in Iraq. Warren defeated State Representative Ruth Balser by a vote of 11,210 to 10,747 in unofficial results. Warren will take over from the outgoing mayor, David Cohen.

To the north, in Lynn, the state's ninth largest city, a surprise upset occurred as City Councilor-At-Large Judith Flanagan Kennedy defeated incumbent Mayor Edward J. "Chip" Clancy, 49.94% to 49.78% by just 27 votes to become the city's first female mayor. A recount is expected in what has been a bitter mayoral race with plenty of twists including allegations of state election law violations by Clancy's campaign sending out fliers with her signature indicating a support for raising property taxes.

On Kennedy's side, it was revealed that her campaign manager, Dennis Liberge, was convicted on drug charges 17 years ago in the state of Maine. Kennedy jumped into the race after the death of the previous challenger, former Mayor Pat McManus, winning the primary with a sticker campaign, winning by 211 votes.

On her victory Kennedy commented to the Boston Globe, "A win is a win. With a race this close, we're probably in recount territory. We will take 27 votes and see what happens."

Further north, in the city of Lawrence, the city elected it's first Hispanic-American mayor, State Representative William Lantigua, who becomes the first Hispanic mayor in the state, with Lantigua beating City Councilor David Abdoo by just under a 1,000 votes.

To the south, in Quincy, a rematch occurred between incumbent mayor Thomas Koch defeated former Mayor William Phelan, whom Koch ousted during the last election in 2007, by a unofficial margin of 54% to 46% for Phelan.

Massachusetts' second and third-largest cities also held elections. Worcester, the second-largest city in the state elected Joseph O'Brien to be the city's new mayor, defeating incumbent Konstantina Lukes. Meanwhile, Springfield, the state's third-largest city elected Mayor Domenic Sarno to a second term. They also voted to change mayoral term-limits from two-years to four-years. Sarno will serve a two-year term.

Afghan policeman shoots and kills five British soldiers

November 4, 2009

A "rogue" policeman from Afghanistan has shot down and killed five British soldiers in the Helmand province of South Afghanistan today. According to the government, the attack happened in the Nad-e'Ali District of Helmand. All the soldiers died from their wounds. The officer opened fire and injured several other troops, before fleeing the scene. At least eight others were injured.

"One individual Afghan National Policeman, possibly in conjunction with another, went rogue. His motives and whereabouts are unknown at this time," said a spokesperson for the UK armed forces. Authorities are still searching for a suspect.

Three of the soldiers were from the Grenadier Guards while the other two were from the Royal Military Police. They had been living with the police in a compound.

This raised the death toll of British troops killed in Afghanistan to 229 this year, the highest in any year since the 1982 Falklands War. Lt. Col. David Wakefield expressed his deepest sadness at the deaths. "Five British soldiers, five of our own, shot down in the course of their duty. They will not be forgotten," he said.

British Prime Minister, Gordon Brown said,"The death of five brave soldiers in a single incident is a terrible loss. My thoughts, condolences and sympathies go to their families, loved ones and colleagues. I know that the whole country too will mourn their loss."

Talk:Afghan policeman shoots down five British soldiers

[ Revision 907413]
Pmlinediter, the original contributor, an Image was possible to be added. Instead afghanistan policeman as whole, it would have been better if you had linked afghanistan to local page and policeman to the article on wikipedia. Make sure, that you answer at least four of the six Ws and Hs (Who, What, When, Where, Why, and How) in the first paragraph and the rest two, if left out, in the consequent paragraphs. Each paragraph must contain two-three sentences only. If the news is very fresh, mark as breaking review. You could have added a bit more categories. Please keep all this in mind when writing your next article. All the best, Srin  ivas  13:57, 4 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks for what you said; I'll keep that in mind. About categories, well I was confused if I'm honest as the categories on different wikies vary greatly. Regards, Pmlineditor    ∞    15:20, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

Palestinian state set to be abandoned, says Erekat

November 4, 2009 According to the chief Palestinian negotiator, Saeb Erekat, Palestinians may need to abandon their goal of creating an independent state should Israel continue expanding Jewish settlements on contested land. Erekat stated it was time for Mahmoud Abbas to "tell his people the truth, that with the continuation of settlement activities, the two-state solution is no longer an option".

US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton unsuccessfully asked Abbas to negotiate with Israel in order to solve the settlement issue, saying "[g]etting into final status negotiations will allow us to bring an end to settlement activity." On a visit to Cairo, Clinton mentioned that Washington wanted an end to the activities in Israel.

Erekat commented that Clinton was only leading to more settlements in the following two years.

To "refocus their attention on the one-state solution where Muslims, Christians and Jews can live as equals", Erekat said, is the only door open for the Palestinians. "It is very serious. This is the moment of truth for us."

Erekat said Netanyahu told Abbas, "Jerusalem will be the eternal and united capital of Israel, that refugees won't be discussed, that our state will be demilitarised, that we have to recognise the Jewish state, that it's not going to be the 1967 borders, that the skies will be under his control".

Political fallout from the sacking of Professor David Nutt gathers momentum

November 5, 2009 The political fallout from the sacking of Professor David Nutt as chairman of the United Kingdom's Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs (ACMD) by Home Secretary Alan Johnson on Friday is gathering momentum.

Professor Nutt recently pointed out during the course of a lecture that a number of socially and legally proscribed drugs, amongst them cannabis, on most objective criteria of risk assessment are less dangerous than a number of other drugs, notably tobacco and alcohol. Alan Johnson took exception to this.

In his letter dismissing Professor Nutt, Johnson asserted "He was asked to go because he cannot be both a government adviser and a campaigner against government policy." An article was subsequently published in the online edition of The Times arguing that Professor Nutt's lecture appeared to conform to government guidelines throughout.

Two other members of the AMCD, Dr Les King and Marion Walter, have already resigned in protest at the sacking and it is likely that further resignations will follow. Cracks within the ruling Labour Party cabinet have also appeared, with Science Minister Lord Drayson saying that he had been "pretty appalled" by the decision.

A Facebook group in support of Professor Nutt has already gathered more than 17,000 members. A public demonstration in support of Professor Nutt is planned for Saturday to take place outside Downing Street.

British singer Robbie Williams announces his return to boyband Take That

November 5, 2009

British singer Robbie Williams has announced that he will be returning to boyband Take That.

The singer made the announcement during an interview with Jonathan Ross on Friday Night with Jonathan Ross, which is due to be aired on BBC One on Friday. Robbie has been quoted as saying, "We've got together, done bits and bobs." In response to a question about whether he would be appearing with the rest of Take That on stage in the future, Robbie said: "I can't say much but, yes, I hope so."

Take That originated in Manchester, England in 1990. The group disbanded in 1996, but reformed in 2005 without Robbie in it.

During the interview with Ross, Williams also revealed that he has made plans to have children with his girlfriend. "I thought I was going to be a bachelor," he said. "I was introduced to Ayda [Field] and things just changed. She's a wonderful person and I'm in love. She's really broody and I'm getting there."

Robbie also spoke of his performance on the BBC Electric Proms on October 20, and the pressure that he suffered from. "I've always been very nervous [performing for] 80,000 people, it's an unnatural thing to do. You don't know what's going on in my head. It's traumatic, really scary. I ended up in rehab again. It was, 'What are you doing to yourself?' I thought it was time to break the cycle. I've taken the pressure off myself, it's a part-time gig these days. The missus keeps me grounded. There's no need to take myself out of my mind any more."

Robbie Williams recently made a live performance on The X Factor, a UK televised singing competition. The singer denied allegations that he is taking drugs. "I get incredibly nervous," he commented. "It wasn't drugs or drink, just deer in the headlights."

Tropical Storm Mirinae kills 90 in Vietnam

November 4, 2009 Vietnamese media reported on Wednesday that at least 90 people have been killed after Tropical Storm Mirinae passed through the country. Another 22 people were reported to be missing.

According to Vietnam News, the storm completely destroyed 154 houses, damaged 2,500 others, and flooded 1,800 hectares of farmland. Some dikes in the Phu Yen province were overloaded with water, further exacerbating the damage.

Around 2,000 soldiers were dispatched to assist with rescue efforts, and local authorities had asked for food aid from the government.

The Vietnamese disaster committee said that "it's the most devastating flooding in more than 30 years in Phu Yen."

Two people were also killed by Mirinae in neigbouring Cambodia, and a further 27 in the Philippines.

Automaker GM to cut 10,000 jobs at Opel

November 5, 2009 The US car manufacturer General Motors said that it would axe 10,000 jobs at its European division, Opel. According to the company's vice president John Smith, the firm wanted to reduce costs at Opel by 30%.

Smith announced the company's move on Wednesday. He didn't say where the cuts were going to take place, but wanted to present details of the plan to European governments "very soon".

A day before the announcement, GM said it was cancelling a deal to sell Opel to Magna, a Canadian automobile parts company.

Politicians in Germany expressed disappointment at GM's cancellation of the Magna deal, which the country's government had favoured. "[GM's] behaviour towards Germany is completely unacceptable," said German economy minister Rainer Bruederle.

The premier of the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia remarked that "General Motors' behaviour shows the ugly face of turbo-capitalism. That is completely unacceptable."

The UK government, however, welcomed the firm's decision. "It is the best decision for Britain and our plants," said the general secretary of the British union Unite, Tony Woodley. "I am absolutely delighted that General Motors have finally done the right thing for them and for us," he told the BBC.

About 54,000 people are employed by Opel, about 25,000 of them in Germany.

Italian judge convicts 23 in CIA kidnapping case

November 5, 2009 An Italian judge has convicted 23 people from the US of kidnapping an Egyptian cleric from Milan in 2003. The landmark case is the first involving the CIA's controversial "extraordinary rendition" program.

The judge sentenced the CIA's Milan station chief at the time, Robert Seldon Lady, to eight years in prison on Wednesday, and the 22 others to five years. All of the suspects were tried in absentia, and are not in custody.

The judge also gave three-year prison sentences to two Italians involved in the kidnapping. Three other American defendants and five Italians, including Italy's former military intelligence chief, were acquitted.

Prosecutors charged that the Egyptian cleric, suspected terrorist Osama Moustafa Hassan Nasr (also known as Abu Omar), was abducted from a Milan street and sent to Egypt, where he was repeatedly tortured.

The Italian government has denied any role in the renditions program, which was approved by the administration of former US president George W. Bush.

"Extraordinary rendition," as practiced by the CIA, involved secretly transferring terror suspects between countries, placing them in locations where they could be intensively interrogated.

Human-rights groups charge that renditions were the CIA's way of relocating prisoners extrajudicially to places where they faced torture during interrogation. However, Bush said repeatedly that U.S. operatives did not transfer prisoners to countries known to practice torture.

Email exchange
The OR is basically this email eachange

Hello Patrick

We don’t have any consideration at this time for a broadcasting arrangement for the 2011 International Cup. The Cup has been played as a community event with open access to enable any supporters of all teams to be able to attend, and to allow any Australian fans to go along and watch the matches. All matches in the past have been open through the preliminary rounds, with the Grand Final played at the MCG as a curtain-raiser to an AFL matche.

At this point, we don’t have any matches planned for overseas in the lead-up to the 2010 season, but are prepared to consider some options for 2011 if the economic situation improves.

For questions three and four, the AFL’s plans on development in these two states have been in place for more than a decade now. The simplest summation for you is in our next generation strategy, which I’ll forward

Patrick

To begin with, I'd like to thank you for the answers you gave for the featured article I wrote. It can be read here.

1. I know the next International Cup isn't until 2011, but I'm wondering, is the AFL considering any form of broadcasting deal for the event? What have been the arrangements to this effect in the past?

2. Are there plans by either the AFL or any of the clubs to play an exhibition game overseas at the end of the season? (I remember this was done a few years back)

3. With regards to development in Queensland and New South Wales, where are the growth areas of these states in the AFL's opinion?

4. What are the plans for theses areas? --- Patrick Gillett Independent Reporter for Wikinews

Local community on Australian Sunshine Coast compromises with McDonald's

November 6, 2009 Residents of the suburb of Minyama, Australia have come to a compromise with restaurant chain McDonald's.

A 24 hour store was planned for the suburb but the fast food giant backed down agreeing that the store will only open overnight on Fridays and Saturdays. Every other day it will be open from five in the morning to eleven at night.

As part of the compromise, a walkway connecting the suburb's main road to the residential area near the new McDonald's has been closed off. "They will all be restricted to Nicklin Way," said John Meyer-Gleaves, a spokesperson for protest group Say No To McDonald's, referring to late night customers.

The group also managed to get a higher wall placed between the store and the residential area to cut noise and light pollution.

In December, Sunshine Coast Regional Council knocked backed the then-proposed store with mayor Bob Abbot expressing concern about its proximity to a residential area.

"I'm pretty sure I'm the only councillor who already has a 24-hour McDonald's in my division, we have enough issues with that one, and this is overkill,” Councillor Chris Thompson, Division 4 in the Sunshine Coast Regional Council, had said about a 24 hour seven day a week store at Minyama.

The 24-hour McDonald's in Councillor Thompson's division, Mooloolaba, is part of a larger complex and does not back onto residential premises.

Toyota quits Formula One

November 5, 2009 Akio Toyoda, the President and Representative Director of Toyota, made a statement on Wednesday that the company is leaving the Formula One championship before the 2010 season. The primary factor behind this decision was said to be the current economic environment in the midterm perspective.

Panasonic Toyota Racing did not manage to ever win a Formula One race, winning only 13 podium and 278.5 points since 2002. Toyota will still be present in a number of racing series, including Formula Nippon, Formula Three, Super GT and NASCAR.

Another major Japanese automotive giant, Honda, quit Formula One prior to this season and sold the team to Ross Brawn. The renewed team Brawn GP with Mercedes-Benz engined cars won the 2009 Constructors' Championship recently.

Other Japanese companies Subaru and Suzuki withdrew from the World Rally Championship prior to this season and Kawasaki pulled out of MotoGP.

The space cleared by Toyota may be now used by the BMW Sauber team's possible successor if BMW can reach an agreement to sell the team after their decision to quit Formula One earlier this year. Toyota drivers of this season Jarno Trulli and Timo Glock, as well as the Japanese rookie driver Kamui Kobayashi, could now look for seats in other teams for 2010 including the new entries US F1, Campos, Manor or Lotus.

New book Blown for Good reveals details inside Scientology headquarters

November 5, 2009

A new book released today by author Marc Headley, Blown for Good, reveals details inside Scientology headquarters at the organization's "Gold Base", located near Hemet, California. Headley joined the organization at age seven when his mother became a member, and worked at Scientology's International Management Headquarters for several years before leaving in 2005.

While an employee of the Scientology headquarters located in Riverside County, California, Headley had the experience of practicing Scientology counseling services called "auditing" with Scientologist Tom Cruise, shortly after the actor had completed work on the film Days of Thunder. In 1990, Cruise was training to become proficient in the Scientology auditing techniques, and Headley was selected to become the actor's auditing partner. Though a young actor at the age of 28, Cruise was already known for his work on films including Top Gun and Born on the Fourth of July. Headley writes in the book that he was chosen to work with Cruise because he had not yet progressed in Scientology levels, and because he was seen as a low security risk due to his young age at the time. Headley writes that he worked with Cruise for hours and hours each day, for a period of three weeks, on Scientology techniques called "Training Routines".

The book provides details of what life was like for the author inside the organization's headquarters. The inner flap of the book includes a map of the "International Headquarters of Scientology; Gilman Hot Springs, California". Headley writes that under the direction of Scientology leader David Miscavige, employees who signed billion-year contracts routinely put in 100-hour weeks of work for minimal pay. According to Headley, possible discipline faced by the Scientology employees for perceived mistakes included being separated from family as part of the Scientology policy of "disconnection", being declared a "suppressive person", or being sent to the "Rehabilitation Project Force", a program where Scientologists were assigned harsh labor.

Headley's tasks while working at the Scientology compound Gold Base included dealing with audiovisual equipment used for organization presentations and speeches by Miscavige, and supervising production of thousands of audiotapes of lectures given by Scientology's founder L. Ron Hubbard. From 1989 to 2005 Headley worked at the Scientology film production studio on scripts for movies which would be used to instruct new members of the organization on its practices. He faced repercussions from Miscavige if he could not meet production quotas. Headley asserts that he was physically abused by Miscavige, a claim made previously by other former Scientology officials in a series of investigative articles published in the St. Petersburg Times.

The book gives background on a 9-minute long video of Tom Cruise, leaked to the Internet in January 2008, that featured the actor discussing his views on Scientology. The Church of Scientology's attempts to remove the leaked video from the Internet motivated the group Anonymous to focus its efforts against the organization. Headley writes that initially the promotional video about Cruise was supposed to feature celebrities including Will Smith speaking about the actor, but Miscavige instead insisted Cruise should simply talk about himself.

Headley describes a form of Miscavige's management previously related in the St. Petersburg Times, where the Scientology leader made his staff play musical chairs to the Queen song "Bohemian Rhapsody". Miscavige told 70 Scientology executives that they were to compete for chairs, and that only the last individual left after several rounds would remain at the compound, while the other executives would be assigned to remote locations. After a dramatic competition with multiple staffers in tears that they would be separated from their families, Miscavige stated no one would be removed from the compound.

In 2005, Headley left the Scientology compound in Hemet on a motorcycle, and fell off his vehicle after being chased by Scientology security guards. Riverside County police helped Headley escape from the Scientology security. Headley traveled to Kansas City to meet his father. He was later joined by his wife Claire who had also worked at the Gold Base compound.

Headley filed suit against Scientology in January 2009. In the legal case, he asserts that Scientology violated United States labor law with regard to his treatment while an employee of the organization. Headley and his lawyer Barry Van Sickle succeeded against attempts by the organization to get the suit dismissed. Headley's lawsuit is set to begin in U.S. federal court in November 2010.

American talk radio hosts John Kobylt and Ken Chiampou discussed the book Wednesday on their program The John and Ken Show on KFI. "This is, the Scientology cult, is I guarantee you, a thousand times more bizarre than you could have ever imagined. And what these celebrities do, like Tom Cruise, is a thousand times more strange than you could ever imagine. I have never read about behavior like this in my life, I can't imagine it. It's really weird," commented one of the hosts about material revealed by Headley in the book. Headley writes in the book that he started to question his involvement in Scientology when secretly listening to The John and Ken Show and watching Conan O'Brien make fun of Scientology celebrities. The National Enquirer reported on the release of Blown for Good, calling it an "explosive new book".

The book was reviewed Wednesday by the Editor in chief of The Village Voice, Tony Ortega, who characterized it as a "remarkable account". "Headley's book also provides stunning material that has rarely been collected in one place, even with the Internet's deep resources on L. Ron Hubbard's strange creation. Headley's story provides a damning account of life working for Scientology leader David Miscavige at the secretive desert base", wrote Ortega in the review. He commented, "Perhaps the best service that Headley provides with Blown for Good is giving non-Scientologists the sense of what it's really like to work, day in and day out, in such a strange organization, from the lowliest laborer mucking out excrement in a Gold Base pond (Headley says shit was coming out of his ears and pores for days) to what kind of luxuries the celebrities and high-ranking members enjoy."

Comments:Political fallout from the sacking of Professor David Nutt gathers momentum

The government claims that they overruled scientific advice to avoid sending mixed messages to people regarding drug abuse.

This means that, in our government's view, the ends justify the means, that it's OK to lie to people in order to force them do what the government thinks is best for them and that people cannot be trusted to make the right choices for themselves, but must be scared into it.

This is both morally wrong and insulting to the public.

Exactly the same mentality was displayed by Blair when he took this country to war on false premises, contrary to the experts' advice.

Leaving aside the particular issue of cannabis and drug advisers, there are fundamental, generally applicable, principles at stake here regarding freedom of information, openness, ministerial accountability and the basis on which government policies are made. These must be properly re-asserted or established.

Adalbert, Southampton, 5/11/2009

 * You are right to note the serious issues relating to governmental process here, and they are largely why I initiated this article. A number of people are beginning to ask serious questions on the net about the propriety of the government's sacking of Professor Nutt and the possibility that a process of centralised government with its roots in static 19th century voting technology i.e. the ballot box, is not in fact the way we should be continuing in the light of the developments and advances in technology and citizen enfranchisement in recent years.

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

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Comments:Italian judge convicts 23 in CIA kidnapping case

Hmm
Maybe this will send a message to US agencies that they aren't invinclible, and they can't do whatever they want. 198.86.93.254 (talk) 15:30, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
 * I doubt it. None of the 23 Americans convicted were even in Italy for the trial. Since they won't actually serve any punishment the sentencing carries almost as much weight as writing an angry letter. 147.72.72.2 (talk) 17:07, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

India doubles Commonwealth Games budget

November 5, 2009

The Indian government has raised the budget of the 2010 New Delhi Commonwealth Games from Rs. 767 crore ($163 million) to Rs. 1,620 crore ($344 million). The decision was made at a meeting of the cabinet led by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in New Delhi.

Ambika Soni, the Information and Broadcasting Minister stated, "The cabinet approved the proposal of the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports for providing a revised budget of Rs. 1,620 crore, as loan to the Organising Committee (OC) of the Commonwealth Games, 2010, at the prevailing government rate of interest."

According to the Minister, the organizing board hoped that to generate a net income of approximately Rs. 1,708 crore.

"The components of rent for organising headquarters, technology which were practically nil in the initial budget, are now around Rs. 175 crore and Rs. 200 crore respectively. These have also contributed substantially to the (budget) increase", said the Minister when asked about the reason for the hike. Sponsorships, TV rights and ticketing were other factors influencing the change.

Alongside this, the Queen's Baton Relay will now encompass all the 70 Commonwealth Games Association nations.

In the international leg, the number of days has been increased to 240 from the previously approved 136 days while on the domestic leg, there has been an increase from 60 days to 100 days.

"The number of volunteers has also gone up to nearly 30,000 and hence the cost of accreditation, catering, uniform, on this account has increased," said Soni.

Former Formula 1 designer unveils new electric car

November 9, 2009 Former Formula One McLaren designer Gordon Murray has unveiled a new all-electric car.

The car model, which is known as the T.27, is due to be developed over the course of the next 16 months with four prototypes. The process that will be used during the course of the manufacturing of the vehicle is called iStream. The technology iStream had been invented by Gordon Murray in 1999 and means that all the parts are designed using a computer.

The project has approximately received £9,000,000 (US$14,919,000) in investment. The electric car is designed for urban purposes, such as in cities or towns. The weight of the vehicle is just 600 kilograms. It has the ability to travel at speeds of up to 60 miles per hour and can go for a maximum of 100 miles between recharges.

The designer thinks that motorists will some day be travelling in vehicles like this. Murray believes that the new car will be 'the most efficient electric vehicle on earth'.

Palestinian president Abbas has "no desire" to seek reelection

November 5, 2009 Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has said that he has "no desire" of running for re-election in a presidential vote he has called for January.

In a televised address on Thursday, Abbas said his declaration is not up for debate or bargaining. Senior members of Abbas' Fatah party have been trying to persuade him to change his mind and take part in the election.

"I have told our brethren in the PLO [Palestine Liberation Organisation] ... that I have no desire to run in the forthcoming election," he said. "This decision is not a kind of compromise or a manoeuvre."

Abbas expressed frustration with the lack of progress in the peace process with Israel. He has threatened to step down in the past as a negotiating tactic. The Palestinian president said his goal of a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict faces serious problems, but added he believed that it still remains possible.

Abbas has called for parliamentary and presidential elections to be held in the West Bank, where he is based, and in the Gaza Strip. But it not clear if the elections can proceed without the cooperation of Hamas, which is in control of Gaza.

"Since Oslo agreements in 1993, all these agreements are based on land and on peace and an end to Israel occupation of 1967. We've pledged with Israel to reach a two-state solution but month after month we've seen nothing but complacency and procrastination," he said.

In his address, Abbas criticised Hamas for refusing to sign a reconciliation agreement with Fatah mediated by Egypt. He called on the group to act in the national interest. Hamas won parliamentary elections in Gaza in 2006, and seized control of the territory a year later.

Palestinian officials said Mr. Abbas is upset with Washington for not putting more pressure on Israel to freeze Jewish settlement construction in the West Bank and east Jerusalem. The Palestinians want the land for a future state.

Thirteen dead, several wounded in Fort Hood, Texas shooting

November 5, 2009 🇺🇸 The United States Army has confirmed that thirteen people have been killed after a shooting rampage at the Fort Hood army base in Texas. An additional thirty are reported wounded, and the gunman is in stable condition after being shot by military police. Two other soldiers are in detention.

The incident took place at a deployment readiness center. According to local congressman John Carter, shooting broke out shortly before a graduation ceremony.

The gunman has been identified as an army officer, Major Malik Nadal Hasan. He is a mental health professional, presumably either a psychologist or psychiatrist, according to an unnamed defense official. Two other suspects were in custody, the base commander, Lieutenant-General Bob Cone, said. "Our investigation is ongoing, but preliminary reports indicate that there was a single shooter," Cone said at a news conference. "The shooter is not dead, but in custody in stable condition."

Initial reports said that the gunman had been shot to death by military police; however, General Cone now says that the man is in custody and is in the hospital with injuries, but is in stable condition. FOX40 News in Sacramento managed to record a military spokesperson commenting on why the media wasn't informed about the status of the gunman until four hours after the initial announcement was made that he had been fatally shot. That military spokesman replied, "the doctors didn't know who they were working on."

When asked at the conference whether Hasan's attack might have been a terrorist act, General Cone replied that "I couldn't rule that out, but I'm telling you that right now the evidence does not suggest that."

It is not currently clear if those killed and wounded are civilian or military. The gunman is reported to have been in uniform and using handguns. Eyewitnesses claim at least one man was armed with a high-power sniper rifle. The chief of media at the base, Christopher Hogue, said to reporters that "the only one we know who was shooting was killed and he had two handguns."

There may have been other people involved in the shooting, however. "We [...] have apprehended two additional soldiers that are suspects. There were eyewitness accounts that there may have been more than one shooter," General Cone said.

The Killeen Independent School District said that all schools in the area were placed on lockdown. The base was closed down following the incident as well. "Effective immediately Fort Hood is closed," a statement on the Fort Hood website read. "This is not a Drill. It is an Emergency Situation." The website appears to have gone down shortly after the announcement.

A serviceman at the base described his experiences to the BBC. "I heard the emergency announcement over the speakers outside and saw people rushing to get indoors. In our office we're okay but we're hearing about the deaths. [...] We are still on lockdown. I am hearing that at least nine people may be dead."

Greg Schannep, a retired colonel, was heading to the 2 P.M. graduation ceremony when he heard gunshots and saw an injured soldier run past him. "Initially, I thought it was a training exercise," he recounted, as quoted by the New York Daily News. "A soldier came running past me and said 'sir, there is someone shooting.' As he ran past me I saw blood on his back. I don't think he even knew he had been shot."

"It's chaotic," said the director of a local coffee shop near the base, as quoted by the Associated Press. "They're just saying that they're under attack they don't know what's going on. [...] The phones are jammed. Everybody is calling family members and friends. Soldiers are running around with M-16s."

The authorities are still gathering information about the shooting, according to Homeland Security spokeswoman Sara Kuban. "DoD [Department of Defense], DHS [Department of Homeland Security], FBI and other members of the intelligence community are assessing and gathering facts about the shooting. Because this is early in this event, we cannot at this time confirm motives behind these shootings," she said.

The Scott & White Memorial Hospital in the town of Temple received ten of the injured victims from the attack. Its website has posted an appeal for blood donations. "Due to the recent events on Fort Hood, we are in URGENT need of ALL blood types," it said. The hospital received 200 blood donations since 2:45 P.M. local time.

The hospital was soon closed to visitors after the wounded people were received. "[We are] no longer open to visitors as we focus our attention upon the victims and their families," a statement on the website said. The associate system chief medical officer said that they did not have specific information on their conditions. "We get patients like this, but not usually all at once," said director Glen Couchman.

Another health facility, the Metroplex Adventist Hospital, received seven other victims. The hospital stated that one of them was soon pronounced dead, and two others, including an EMS paramedic, are in surgery.

Fort Hood is situated in the town of Killeen. It is the largest military base in the world, houses around 40,000 US troops, and is about 100 kilometres (60 miles) north of Austin. It has been compared to a small town, with its own schools, convenience stores, and even two museums.

This is not the first time Killen has witnessed a shooting spree. The town was the site of the worst shooting spree in American history until the Virginia Tech massacre, when on October 16, 1991, George Jo Hennard drove his truck through the front window of Luby's Cafeteria and proceeded to shoot and kill 23 people and wound another 20, before commiting suicide in what is know as the Luby's massacre. It should be noted Major Hasan is an alumnus of Virginia Tech.

Gunman's motives and background
Hasan's motives for the shooting spree were not immediately clear, however, Texas Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison told the FOX news agency that "I do know that he has been known to have told people that he was upset about going [to Iraq]."

A cousin of the gunman, Nader Hasan, told FOX that his cousin had been ordered to deploy to Iraq, but was unwilling to do so. "We've known over the last five years that was probably his worst nightmare," he said.

According to Nader, Nidal is a US-born Muslim who had joined the military after finishing high school, and was a graduate of Virginia Tech, where he received a bachelor’s degree in biochemistry. He was also a member of the ROTC, and used to be a psychiatrist at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, D.C.

"He was a psychiatrist at Walter Reed dealing with the people coming back and [...] trying to help them with their trauma," Nader said.

Retired colonel Terry Lee told FOX that "[Hasan] said maybe Muslims should stand up and fight against the aggressor. At first we thought he meant help the armed forces, but apparently that wasn't the case. Other times he would make comments we shouldn't be in the war in the first place."

Security officials said that some Internet postings made half a year ago, discussing suicide bombings and other forms of violence, appeared to have been posted by Hasan, but this has not been officially confirmed.

"Isolated incident"
Some army bases around the US increased security measures following the attacks. "The bottom line for us is that we are increasing security at our gates because the threat hasn't yet been defined, and we're reminding our Marines to be vigilant in their areas of responsibility," said the public affairs officer for the Marine Corps Air Station in Yuma, Arizona, Captain Rob Dolan.

However, a spokesman for the Department of Defense said that the attack appeared to be an isolated incident. "This is an isolated and tragic case and we're obviously in the process of obtaining more information as the events unfold," said Lieutenant Colonel Eric Butterbaugh.

"We don’t have reason to believe that this is anything other than an isolated incident," an army spokesman from Fort Lewis in the state of Washington, Joe Piek, commented. "We don’t normally discuss security operations at the post anyways, but I am sure this is something that our security law enforcement will be reviewing. As we are watching and listening, there is a lot we don't know."

Response
President Barack Obama described the incident as "a horrific outburst of violence" in a press conference in Washington D.C., going on to say, "It is difficult enough when we lose these brave men and women abroad, but it is horrifying that they should come under fire at an army base on US soil. [...] We will make sure that we get answers to every single question about this horrible incident. We are going to stay on this."

Texas Senator Hutchison released a statement regarding the incident. "I am shocked and saddened by today's outburst of violence at Fort Hood that has cost seven of our brave service members their lives and has gravely injured others. My heart goes out to their loved ones," she said.

"Our dedicated military personnel have sacrificed so much in service to our country, and it sickens me that the men and women of Fort Hood have been subjected to this senseless, random violence. I know all Americans share this concern for the soldiers and their families who are affected by this tragedy," the statement continued.

Robert Gates, the Defense Secretary, expressed his sympathy to those affected by the attack. "I can pledge that the Department of Defense will do everything in its power to help the Fort Hood community get through these difficult times," he said in a statement.

Vice President Joe Biden also offered his condolences. "We are all praying for those who were wounded and hoping for their full and speedy recovery. Our thoughts and prayers are also with the entire Fort Hood community as they deal with this senseless tragedy," he remarked.

"I was saddened to learn of the tragic incident at Fort Hood. Laura and I are keeping the victims and their families in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time," wrote former president George W. Bush in a statement from his office in Dallas.

The state's governor, Rick Perry, ordered all flags in Texas to be flown at half-staff until Sunday. "[I am] keeping those affected by today's incidents in our thoughts and prayers," he said.

The junior senator from Texas, John Cornyn, also issued a statement. "My heart goes out to the victims of the tragedy that occurred today at Fort Hood, as well as their families. Fort Hood is one of our nation's finest and largest military installations, and a place that has long been a source of pride for Texans, and for all Americans who value the selfless service and sacrifice of our men and women in uniform," the statement read.

"It is imperative that we take the time to gather all the facts, as it would be irresponsible to be the source of rumors or inaccurate information regarding such a horrific event. Once we have ascertained all the facts, working with our military leaders and law enforcement officials on the ground, we can determine what exactly happened at Fort Hood today and how to prevent something like this from ever happening again."

Saudi Arabia resumes livestock trade with Somalia

November 6, 2009 The government of Saudi Arabia removed an eleven-year ban on livestock imports from Somalia after fears of were allayed, senior Somali officials said on Thursday.

The decision was well received across Somalia, as hundreds of thousands of farmers heavily rely on animal exports to the oil-rich Middle East. Under the new arrangement, Saudi officials will closely examine animals before they are shipped off to Saudi soil.

"This is a tremendous decision for Somalis across the ," said Idiris Ibrahim Abdi, the livestock minister of Somaliland, the self-declared republic in northern Somalia, which has developed one of the most sophisticated animal processing plants in its port town of.

According to news accounts, the Saudi agricultural ministry said the decision is based on years of cross-examination and monitoring of animal farms in Somalia.

Animal trade is one of the few surviving economic engines of Somalia's largely destroyed economy. Business leaders and animal farmers have largely welcomed the Saudi decision.

"This decision will allow me to triple my animal sales to shipping companies," said Mohamed Hassan Kahde, an animal farmer in the central town of.

An official with the Meat Processing Authority told the Voice of America news agency that they expect to export more than half a million heads of goats and cows to Saudi Arabia in time for the, the annual  pilgrimage, which will be performed by early December.

Prospects for a space elevator rise

November 10, 2009 During a NASA competition, a group of researchers managed to create a robot, powered by a ground based laser, to climb a cable 1 kilometer high dangling from a helicopter.

The contest winners will receive US$2 million for inventing a functioning robot which climbs to the set height in a reasonable amount of time.

The competition took place in the Mojave desert at NASA's Dryden Flight Research Center on Edwards Air Force Base, and teams from Missouri, Alaska, and Seattle competed for the prize. It was held to further the research on technology capable of making the 22,000 mile journey into outer space.

The laws of physics are playing against the researchers. The cost of implementing a project where these laws could be handled and orbit achieved is very high: an estimated $22 Billion. Although a working space elevator is a futuristic idea, the projects used in the research today could potentially create such an elevator.

A team from Seattle was announced as the second place winner, winning $990,000 in prize money. They did not earn the full $2 million because they were unable to achieve the required speeds. Despite their research, none of the teams were able to get their robots to the top.

I'm confused, because it's part of the public domain, it being word-for-word a copy makes it not plagiarism? I'm just unsure of what that means. If someone can let me know, I can approve this. --Poisonous (talk) 02:56, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

Stolen minibus recovered 35 years after theft

November 6, 2009

A 1965 Volkswagen minibus that was stolen in 1974 has been recovered by customs agents in Los Angeles. The vintage minibus was in pristine condition, valued at $25,000, and was found during a routine inspection of a shipping container scheduled for departure to The Netherlands. A routine computer database search on its vehicle identification number flagged it as having been stolen from a vehicle upholstery shop in Spokane, Washington on July 12, 1974. A custom restoration business in Arizona was attempting to deliver it to overseas clients last month when authorities intercepted the vehicle.

The theft appeared on the National Insurance Crime Bureau database, which is used by border authorities and contains all stolen vehicle records. Most police databases remove unsolved vehicle thefts after five years.

The California Highway Patrol does not suspect the restorer of wrongdoing, according to investigating officer Mike Maleta. Possession of the vehicle apparently changed several times. Police in Spokane have not yet located the rightful owner, whose identity has not been released to the press. Maleta hopes that a trail of registration documents and interviews will uncover the thief.

The Allstate insurance company paid $2500 shortly after the theft occurred and wants to take possession of the vintage minibus. Allstate spokeswoman Megan Brunet expects that after the necessary paperwork is processed the firm will sell it at auction.

Comments:New book Blown for Good reveals details inside Scientology headquarters

It's a book, not fact!
I am a Scientologist, to stop anyone having to guess. It seems to me that this guy is bitter and twisted. I have met David Miscavige, briefly and he seemed kind and considerate to me. Friends of mine grew up with him and they think he's one of the nicest and hardest-working people they know. Frankly, the idea of a musical chairs game deciding who gets posted where is completely off Scientology policy and anyone who believes that it would be done at management level needs their head read.(That's not secret Scientology code for anything, just the normal figure of speech.) The thing people don't get about Scientologists is that they're working 100 hour weeks getting people off drugs, improving literacy, helping them with their businesses and repairing lives and marriages. They don't have time for the trivial crap that "ex-Scientologists" sometimes accuse them of. Scientologists are taking responsibility for the state of the whole planet - someone has to and I'm tipping it's not going to be that guy. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Moops204 (talk • contribs)

Welcome

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

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:21, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

 This account has been renamed as part of single-user login finalisation. If you own this account you can |log in using your previous username and password for more information.
