Welcome
Howiefoo, welcome to Wikinews! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

Our key policies - if you read anything, read these! Here a few pointers to help you get to know Wikinews: There are always things to do on Wikinews: By the way, you can sign your name on Talk pages using four tildes ( ~~~~ ), which produces your name and the current date. If you have any questions, you can ask them at the water cooler or to anyone on the Welcommittee, or ask me on my Talk page. Again, welcome!--Cspurrier 03:09, 18 September 2005 (UTC)

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 Godblessthelord. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Godblessthelord~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 23:18, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Nomination on WN:A
Since you've stated that you were withdrawing the nomination for at least awhile, is it OK if I clear that request on the page for the time being? --MrMiscellanious – Happy Hanukkah – 04:41, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

New Zealand portal
Hi Brian! I see that you are working on a New Zealand portal. I recently overhauled the Australian portal. If you have any questions about any of the various bits, feel free to drop a message on my talk page. - Borofkin 02:29, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

Happy new year!
Sorry I didn't reply on IRC, but anyway - I wish you everything you ever wished for in the upcoming 2006! Happy new year! And happy leap second, by the way ;). Datrio 11:24, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

Feel free to steal the IRCBox, I stole it from MrMisc myself. I've seen a few people with it. I'll check out that page you sent, thanks. sinblox (talk) 21:58, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

Thanks!
Thanks, Brian. That was very nice! Sarah Ewart 07:01, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

New Day.... but where?
Most things on Wikinews run on UTC, which you'll see from the signature at the end of this comment. Whilst I had a minor disageeement with Amgine over an Australian article that was from a UTC perspective dated in the future, I don't think the Fiji quake story should be "future-dated". None of the sources reference the fourth. Brian McNeil / talk 22:09, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure about whether things should be in local time or not, I was always under the impression that we should be sticking to UTC. My discussion with Amgine yesterday centred on the fact that the sources for the Oz story were "future" to UTC, but matched the article date.  In a case like that I'd concede the publish to the future argument, but this one won't matter in a couple of hours anyway. :) Brian McNeil / talk 22:24, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

Congratulations! your Accreditation request has been approved
Your request for accreditation has been approved by the community. Your id # will be 4460. I'm working on getting a badge built for you. Congrats! -  Amgine | talk en.WN 01:39, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

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

Iran determined to continue with nuclear program

September 18, 2005

The President of Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, announced Saturday the resolve of his country to proceed with the development of. He stated that Iran would not pursue.

Mr. Ahmadinejad also noted that he was willing to allow international inspection of his program, and reaffirmed his claim of its peaceful nature.

At the UN conference, Mr. Ahmadinejad made clear that he felt that Iran had a right to nuclear energy, and that the nations of world practiced "nuclear apartheid" by refusing to let Iran pursue this course. "We're not going to cave in to the excessive demands of certain powers," he said, refusing to yield to international pressure to halt his country's nuclear course.

He said that talks should be restarted, this time including other nations such as South Africa.

The speech was not in line with what the US and others want for Iran; Condoleezza Rice warned the UN that Iran's nuclear ambitions were dangerous. One British official was quoted as saying "This was an unhelpful speech on which we will now want to consult our partners on the International Atomic Energy Agency board of governors."

The IAEA is slated to begin a discussion on Iran's nuclear program in on Monday.

Talk:John "Jebby" Bush, son of Florida Governor Bush, arrested for public intoxication

NEWS FEATURE
This is a NEWS FEATURE article; i.e., the hard news leads, and additional in-depth, germane, supporting details follow. The linking subjects are 1) Drug & Alcohol abuse, 2) Austin, TX and 3) Bush family.

Note the third lead: "Jeb and Columba Bush's youngest son allegedly wobbled up to TABC and Austin police on duty in the city's downtown entertainment district and began badgering police about an earlier arrest of people he knew."

The feature story guidelines state in part that "The third lead should be the one that has the most human interest... whatever people feel is most likely to get readers reading which isn't the day's top breaking news."

The topic of "earlier arrest of people he knew" also includes his relatives. He undoubtedly knows about his cousins Jenna & Barbara, as well as his own sister and his uncle.

It's almost like a recipe... mix the three and the results are legal trouble and run-ins with LEOs (Law Enforcement Officers) and the judicial system.

 * I'm sorry, but I don't completely understand what you're getting at... I understand that the family's past run-ins with the law are relevant in the article, but that should not be the basis of the article. Surely, we wouldn't care a fig that this young man had been arrested unless his last name happened to be "Bush", but a full two-thirds of the article are not about him or the incident. Perhaps a link to Wikipedia article about alcoholic tendancies in the Bush family would be appropriate. Further, the article title is not appropriate as international readers may not understand the term "bust" and surely, he wasn't busted, but was arrested. Bust has a different connotation, I think -- even in America. --Chiacomo (talk) 05:03, 18 September 2005 (UTC)

Referenced stories
One of the stories I referenced had this at the conclusion of the story. "It is not the first time one of the governor's children has had a run-in with the law.

"Jeb Bush's daughter Noelle was sentenced to 10 days in jail in 2002 after cocaine was found in her shoe at a court-ordered drug rehabilitation program.

"President Bush's daughters Jenna and Barbara were both charged in 2001 with drinking underage."

I simply elaborated upon the obvious, for the benefit of the readers. The basis of the article is the lead... Jebby arrested on alcohol-related charges. Children of public figures are public figures.

Regarding use of the term "bust" - it is clearly not a work of art, nor does it refer to a woman's breasts, and the presence of "cops" (a derivative of the English slang 'copper' referring to a policeman's badge, whom are now called 'bobbies' for their unique hats) adjacent a verb must mean that they did something other than break a statuary, work of art, or anatomical part. Pity the person who, though Internet & wiki savvy, is too lazy to find a definition of a word they don't know... and that, on the Internet.

The article is about an alcohol related arrest of a public figure's son. The in-depth part is about similarly related issues with the family.

It is regrettable that you don't "completely understand" how the in-depth part is related to the lead. The article is not complete with out it. Otherwise, it would be nothing more than a short, almost worthless paragraph... essentially what some other news outlets published. They, however, must be conscious of their use of paper and a responsibility to advertisers, whom support the paper. Wikinews has no such concerns, and thus, feature length and in-depth stories are, and ought to be, hallmark... not petty bickering about one's opinion and censoring.

 * The first section of the story is sufficient to explain the event -- an additional paragraph (or two) summarizing the Bush family's problem with alcohol might be appropriate. I don't think we're engaged in petty bickering -- I think we're trying to develop an article about a current news event. The article title is another matter, really. Our international readers would be better served by a title that explained what happened, specifically, that "Jebby" Bush, son of the governor of Florida, was arrested. I would hope that they needn't find a dictionary to decipher a headline and the word "bust" may not be entirely clear to them. The simplest title is always best -- especially for an article that aspires to be a "lead" article. As concerns the word "cops", which I've not addressed (and really don't care about, but you brought it up): it is often seen as a derrogatory term among policemen. It's a common enough word and in the context of the article will be fine; as you say, if, once someone is reading the article, they can't decipher the meaning of the word, they can look it up.

 * I will not address this article again as my opinion (and that of others) has been stated. This isn't a bad article and it is news (if only because of a person's surname). There may be an overall POV issue, but perhaps another editor will take this up.

 * A final note: please do sign your comments using two dashes and four tildes ( --~ ) -- this will automagically sign your username and insert a date stamp. It will make things easier to follow. --Chiacomo (talk) 06:09, 18 September 2005 (UTC)

NPOV
There is a strong bias in the background information of the story, which for I have tagged this story NPOV. You don't need three paragraphs of background when your story has just as much. Three sentences is adequate for this article. --Mrmiscellanious 12:32, 18 September 2005 (UTC)

 * I respectfully disagree. There is NO bias in this story. All facts and sources are cited. It is 100% truth, no opinion. Have you even bothered read the stories, links and citations? This NEWS FEATURE story has NO fiction, NO opinion, and is 100% truth. Some inane claim of "strong bias" is made citing "background information" as a justification. It's 100% FACT. Attempts to change the story, it's headline, its subject matter using trickery - simply because one doesn't like the story and cant' make any claim to any error, factual or otherwise - and every facets of the story are BLATANT attempts at CENSORSHIP.

No, I don't see a bias in the background information, although your welcome to include some tib bit about how this is normal among rich families. What Mr Misc may have really disliked was that atrocious/POV last sentence. I've fixed it and tried to smoothed out other rough/POV edges. - Nyarlathotep 20:17, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
 * It is fine now, but it was very pov before, if you have not already seen the old version have a look The background info was about twice as long as the rest of it. --Cspurrier 20:29, 18 September 2005 (UTC)

Why is this 21 year old Bush not fighting in the war on terror?
Ecuse my english.Here in Czech Republic, all men serve 2 years and many are fighting against war on terror which American president Bush says is so emportant. Why is this Bush man not also fighting if Czechs are? Also, why is this not headline story? If Czech president's nephew was arrested it would be very big news here. I will try to make it a bigger story on wiki as was said at the top about featured. 195.113.164.130 11:40, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Well beacuse the US armed forces is currently a volunteer force. I'm not sure what 'jebby's' lack of service has to do with your obvious disapprovement of your own countries participation in the coalition force. It's such flawed thinking, frankly. Are you suggesting that the US hasn't deployed its fair share to the coaliation forces? Why is it not a headline? Umm, well it has been and it will pass into the void where it belongs, considering all the important news in the world... sigh

Thai media mogul drops newspaper takeover attempt

September 18, 2005

The head of GMM Grammy in Thailand has backed off from his attempts to take over the leading Thai newspaper, Matichon. In a statement on Friday, Mr Paiboon Damrongchaitham announced he would reduce his stake in the paper from 32% to 12%.

The attempted takeover has drawn widespread criticism from journalists, academics, and democracy activists. Mr Paiboon is known to be close to the Thai Prime Minister, Thaksin Shinawatra, and many argued his control of the well-respected paper would have a chilling effect on free speech in the country.

Despite announcing the planned sale of more than a third of his holding in the paper, Mr Paiboon will still have a sufficiently large share to command a place on the board. Academic, Anusorn Srikaew, the dean of Rangsit University's Faculty of Communication Arts, suggested that GMM Grammy's ambitions had just been shelved and that they would again increase their stake in the paper at some point in the future.

User:Brent Dax/Linear skin

Linear (a working name) is a Wikinews skin I'm working on. The basic goals are to:
 * Match the fairly stark look of most news sites.
 * Maximize the amount of screen space devoted to the page's content.

Screenshots:

A few things:
 * I'm developing this on an old, incomplete dump of Wikinews; that's why the articles are old and the images are missing.
 * The user's name is a drop-down menu containing "my talk", "preferences", and so on.
 * I still need to do a few more things:
 * Port many omitted style rules over from MonoBook
 * Make it work properly in Internet Explorer
 * Complete testing and tweaking in other browsers
 * Find a better way to extract the category information
 * Convince myself it's actually good enough

Comments welcome. —Brent Dax (talk) 09:12, 18 September 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Results of 2005 German federal election

My lame original reporting: Watching TV ;). --Deprifry 10:20, 18 September 2005 (UTC)

The sum of the seats in the projection is 611, but the available seats are 598. Is it a mistake?--84.148.40.198 20:29, 18 September 2005 (UTC) Halva

 * That is due to the very, very complicated German voting system with its overhang seats. --Deprifry 20:32, 18 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Thanks for the answers. I have noticed only now the words "598 seats (more in care of overhang seats)", sorry for bothering :) --84.148.40.198 20:43, 18 September 2005 (UTC) Halva
 * Actually I added that explanation after you asked your question here, so there was no way for you to know :). --Deprifry 20:45, 18 September 2005 (UTC)

I'm following this very interesting election from Sweden and have just learnt about the situation in Dresden 1 and the so called "overhang seats" awarded on top of the 598 seats. With these overhang seats, what is the theoretical upper limit of seats in the Bundestag?--83.227.37.163 23:53, 18 September 2005 (UTC) Per M

 * I guess if one party gets 99,9 % of the first votes and 0,1 % of the second votes and another 0,1 % of the first and 99,9 of the second, I think the size of the Bundestag could increase to 598 (regular seat count) + 299 (if all won constiuencies are overhang seats) = 897. Of course thats purly theoretical and the 15 overhang seats we have now is already pretty high. --Deprifry 05:03, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

Actual Results
When can we expect some ACTUAL results from Germany then? Getting fed up of watching the exit polls update.
 * Preliminary results are expected to be announced between 2 AM and 3 AM CEST (GMT+2). However, actual results will not be seen before October 2nd; see Voting_chaos_in_Germany_expected.

NPOV? No quoptes from Merkel

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 AgentPI47. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name AgentPI47~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 23:12, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Rupert Murdoch: Blair says BBC "hates America"

This story has some serious NPOV problems. First, Rubert Murdoch owns Fox News and Sky News, competitors for the BBC in the British and US market, something which is ommited in the article. So Murdoch clearly has a own agenda there and everything he says should get double checked. The whole usage of words like "disclosed" and "revealed" implies that 1. Blair said all those things and 2. everything he allegedly said is true. --Deprifry 13:05, 18 September 2005 (UTC)

 * I agree, hence chopping most of the POV stuff. :) Of course, the article is now too short but hopefully a fresh pair of eyeballs will come along soon and not turn it back into a soap opera for the News Corporation POV and their anti-BBC agenda. Brianmc 13:15, 18 September 2005 (UTC)

 * I actually wrote my comments before I saw that you chopped most of it, so that was not directed at you :). Secondly, I tried to neutralize the article a bit to make it clear that Murdoch is the only source. I just hope I didn't overstate that. :) --Deprifry 13:22, 18 September 2005 (UTC)

Talk:DeLay declares 'victory' in war on U.S. budget fat

If there's a best title contest, i think we have a winner.
 * I think 'fat' should be replaced with the more usual term 'pork' if you want to be colourful. It took me quite a few years of living here before I understood what 'pork' meant.
 * Thanks, but its a minor cleanup of a sources title. But, yes, I did feel the "U.S." was judiciously added.  :)

Amazing idea
How about, rather than destroy the world economy with your debt, you start taxing Corporations (2/3 of American corporations don't pay tax (inside America). 90% pay less than 5% tax) and the ultra-rich. Nah... rich people and TNCs are special; they have it so tough they need tax breaks. ~The bellman | Smile 13:20, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
 * um, why would they tax themselves?
 * How about "you" just stop buying it?

BTW, my idealistic side feels that only "limited liability companies" should be taxed. Why? Well limited liability is a major favor from "the people," so "the people" should get the best deal they can. But then I remember that "the people" does not exist, so I give up and the world makes sence again. :)

MetaFilter
I highly recommend MetaFilter as a way to find interesting news stories. Very little "really interesting" news fails to pass through metafilter. And very little gets repeated ad nauseam. Most of the interesting articles which I've put up on wikinews came off MetaFilter.

Wikinews:Briefs/September 18, 2005

Audio Wikinews transcript – 2005 09 18 – 2000 UTC
The time is 2000 UTC on Sunday 18th September 2005, and this is Audio Wikinews: News Briefs.

Results of 2005 German federal election Early result projections from today's German federal election suggest that the alliance consisting of chancellor Gerhard Schröder's Social Democratic Party and the Greens has lost its majority. The strongest party appears to be the Christian Democratic Union, with its chancellor candidate Angela Merkel. However, it is not yet certain who will govern the country for the next four years. Neither the CDU and its likely coalition partner the Free Democratic Party nor SPD and its partner the Greens have a majority of seats in the Bundestag. While the CDU got the most votes, it performed much worse than projected, and officials from the party now suggest that a grand coalition with the SPD is the likely option for a future government. But a coalition of both Greens and FDP with either the SPD or the CDU also seems a possibility. Winners in this election include the Free Democrats, who gained 3%, and The Left, up 4%.

Iran determined to continue with nuclear program The President of Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, announced on Saturday the resolve of his country to proceed with the development of nuclear energy. He stated that Iran would not pursue nuclear weapons. Mr Ahmadinejad also noted that he was willing to allow international inspection of his programme, and reaffirmed his claim of its peaceful nature. At the UN conference in New York this week, Mr. Ahmadinejad made clear that he felt that Iran had a right to nuclear energy, and that the nations of world practiced "nuclear apartheid" by refusing to let Iran pursue this course. "We're not going to cave in to the excessive demands of certain powers," he said, refusing to yield to international pressure to halt his country's nuclear course.

Saudi Arabia, UAE to support increasing oil production Oil ministers from Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates announced that both countries would support raising crude oil output quotas by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries. The Saudi minister, Ali al-Naimi, said that rising prices were lowering world demand, and his nation 'absolutely' backs the increase, while Mohammed bin Dhaen al-Hamli from the UAE claimed that the markets could calm on the decision. Earlier, OPEC cut their oil demand estimates for 2005, saying that demand will rise by only 1.7% compared to the previous prediction of 1.9%. The organisation is to meet to discuss the possible increase on 19th September. If the decision takes place, the official limits will be at their highest since 1987.

Thailand not listed. Help?

 * When I did the Thai media mogul drops newspaper takeover attempt story earlier I had to do some fiddling to get Thailand's category okay. I didn't achieve my goal of getting the country listed under the Asia category.  Can someone sort this and let me know what little trick I missed? Brianmc 20:25, 18 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Thailand is listed under Category:Asia if you click the "(next 200)" link under subcategories. --Chiacomo (talk) 20:31, 18 September 2005 (UTC)

Cleanup
I've been looking at the other continent categories, how do I tidy up the section under the latest stories list for categories? I'd like to remove the next/prev and complete list of stories. I've been looking at the Category:Australia one and would like to more closely follow it. Brianmc 08:40, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

Asia is TOO BIG for a Category
Asia needs to be broken up into categories that let people better understand.

 * We have several very high-use categories. That's not inherently bad. Creating subregions would produce needless bureaucracy and arguments over the precise definitions of their boundaries; replacing this news region with them, as you propose, poses the same problems and removes this category for no reason. Instead, we have chosen to only subdivide news regions by country, with exceptions like Category:Korean Peninsula where the subregion is easily defined. Also, note we classify Australia and other Pacific islands as part of our Oceania news region. Heavy Water (talk) 01:29, 2 August 2023 (UTC)

IDG cancels Macworld Boston

September 20, 2005

Show organizer IDG has canceled Macworld Expo Boston. The East Coast Macworld Expo was held in Boston from 1985 to 1997. In 1998 it was moved to New York.

In October 2002, IDG announced their intention to move the show back to Boston, a move many criticized. Apple quickly announced it would no longer participate in the East Coast show. East Coast Macworld expos have always been much smaller than Macworld San Francisco. New York's shows would have tens of thousands attendees. The Boston shows only had about 8,000 attendees. The San Francisco show, however, had 36,000 attendees. Without Apple's support, and with the low attendance numbers, many had predicted the cancellation.

Macworld Expos are held twice a year. They are an opportunity for companies to announce new products to the Mac community. Macworld was once one of the largest technology trade shows in the country. Apple regularly announces new products at the Macworld San Francisco expos. "Historically, we have had a West Coast and an East Coast show, after the last show, though, we did a lot of market research and it was obvious that the market wanted one show", said IDG spokesperson Mike Sponseller.

The 2006 show had been scheduled for July 10 through 13.

Google launches new blog search engine

September 23, 2005 In mid-September, Google launched a new search engine: Google Blogsearch. The new search engine, whose development was announced over two years ago, allows you to search blogs by dates, date ranges, language, authors, and by the blog itself, in addition to keywords. It is then possible to set up your own custom newsfeed with these search criteria.

Despite the features, there has been criticism related to this new engine. One example is how their index only dates back to March 2005. In addition, flaws in the search algorithm may result in duplicate blog entries, as well as other "blog noise" to receive high results.

This new search engine was made supposedly to help compete with other search engines, such as one by Yahoo!.

Google Blogsearch has joined the group of other Google search engines, including Google Image search, Google Groups, and the famous Google Web search.

Afghanistan holds first democratic general elections

September 19, 2005

On Sunday, Afghanistan held its first democratic general elections. They are the first elections held in the country since last year's presidential elections.

There was voter participation of about 50%, compared with 70% for the previous presidential election. According to Bimillah Bismal, head of the Afghan-UN Joint Electoral Management Body, "The election was held in a peaceful manner…there was also a high level of political awareness and participation amongst the Afghan people."

Voting proceeded calmly, with little violence at the polling stations, most of which were able to remain open throughout Saturday.

There are approximately 5,800 candidates, competing for 420 slots in the provincial court, and 249 deputy positions in the wing of the Afghani Parliament (Wolesi Jirga).

Violence did sprout up occasionally, with four election officials killed in the past year, as well as seven contenders for deputy positions. However, the US-led coalition is working to minimize these problems during the elections, and, so far, Taliban militant actions have not been an overwhelming issue.

Women have a sizable role to play in these elections–they can vote, and 10 percent of the candidates are female. Even in the more conservative southern areas of Afghanistan, a sizable number of female voters came to the polling stations.

Preliminary election results are expected by October 10.

NASA plans for future moon missions

NASA has announced plans for sending humans back to the Moon, as a first step to Mars.

A 2018 lunar mission is proposed, where a crew of four would remain on the Moon for as long as a week. A minimum of two lunar missions a year is planned, with astronauts remaining as long as six months.

Some of the technology had previously been proposed for replacement of the Space Shuttle.
 * Astronauts will be launched in a capsule, similar in concept to that used for the Project Apollo but three times larger. The top part of an Exploration Transportation System (ETS), the Crew Exploration Vehicle (CEV) will be a capsule attached to a service module which contains supplies, power, and propulsion units.  The CEV is designed for use in Earth orbit.
 * On lunar missions, crew or cargo versions of a Lunar Surface Access Module (LSAM) would be used with a CEV. The LSAM will have design concepts related to the Apollo Lunar Module, with a four-legged landing unit carrying an ascent stage.
 * An Earth Departure Stage (EDS), a powerful propulsion unit, will be used to move CEV and LSAM units out of Earth orbit, such as on lunar missions.
 * Heavy Launcher unmanned cargo rockets will be used for heavy loads of equipment.
 * The launch rockets, Shuttle Derived Launch Vehicles, will use engines developed for the Shuttle program.
 * CEV will be launched atop a Crew Launch Vehicle (CLV), a single solid fuel booster with a second stage using a shuttle main engine. The CLV can carry a payload of 25 metric tons into low Earth orbit.
 * The heavy-lift system uses a pair of longer solid rocket boosters and five shuttle main engines to put up to 125 metric tons in orbit -- about one and a half times the weight of a shuttle orbiter.
 * The use of a Launch Escape System (LES) will improve safety. A LES is a top-mounted rocket that can quickly remove the crew capsule away from an exploding or otherwise dangerous rocket.

For a lunar mission, the LSAM and EDS would be placed in orbit by a cargo launcher, then a CEV would dock with the assembly before leaving Earth orbit.

The goal is to begin production of the new spacecraft by 2011.
 * Robotic missions will be sent, probably the first one in 2008.
 * Past experience with lunar dust is being used in designing equipment and spacesuits which may encounter it.
 * Surface mobility with open and pressurized rovers for use in such missions is also being developed.
 * The CEV can be reused up to ten times.
 * Crew capsule, upon return to Earth, will set down on dry land. It can also land on water.
 * The CEV and lunar lander ascent stage use methane as fuel, as methane may be available on Mars.
 * Eventually the designs could be expanded to support six astronauts for a trip to Mars.

The plans are a means to implement President Bush's "Vision for Space Exploration" program. Goals include:
 * Implement a sustained and affordable human and robotic program to explore the solar system and beyond;
 * Extend human presence across the solar system, starting with a human return to the Moon by the year 2020, in preparation for human exploration of Mars and other destinations;
 * Develop the innovative technologies, knowledge, and infrastructures both to explore and to support decisions about the destinations for human exploration; and
 * Promote international and commercial participation in exploration to further U.S. scientific, security, and economic interests.

Nuclear arms agreement reached with North Korea

September 19, 2005

North Korea has again agreed to abandon its.

The country agreed to again return to the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty and follow International Atomic Energy Agency safeguards.

Five other countries have agreed to give North Korea energy assistance. There also would be discussion "at an appropriate time" about providing a civilian light-water reactor.

The day after the agreement, North Korea demanded the new reactor before it ends its other nuclear programs. U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said the light-water reactor issue was to be discussed "down the road" — not immediately.
