Reading the article I'm not exactly sure what's news worthy about the stance of the scientist in question (it doesn't deviate at all from half-century old standard statements by environmental groups). His statements just read like the typical press-friendly but ultimately empty blathering that media-savvy personalities engage in. It probably wasn't worth writing an article about, but meh.

WikiLeaks releases Iraq War logs

October 23, 2010

On October 22, WikiLeaks released nearly 400,000 United States military field reports detailing events of the Iraq War between 2004 and 2009.

That amount of documents makes it the largest leak in the history of the United States military. The documents report 109,000 deaths during the 2004–2009 period, including 66,000 civilians deaths.

The war logs describe scenes of torture and abuse asserted to have been committed by Iraqi security forces.

Thread:Comments:Scientist demands end to America's 'addiction to oil'/Seriously?/reply (3)

I'm curious as to how you see nuclear energy as an alternative to petroleum. It doesn't offer any solutions to the structural flaws of a petroleum economy. Fissile uranium is non-renewable, and as a heavy radioactive metal, it's supplies are quite limited, so it too will be exhausted and we will find ourselves in the same situation as we are currently in with oil.. Nuclear wastes are dangerously radioactive for billions of years after their production, and currently there is no safe long-term way to store them. The building of nuclear power plants and the mining of uranium are both fossil fuel intensive activities releasing large quantities of greenhouse gas into the Earth's atmosphere, further contributing to global climate change. These are simply the facts.

Thread:Comments:Scientist demands end to America's 'addiction to oil'/Seriously?/reply (6)

Your "simply facts" are partly wrong, and partly a half century out of date. It's a common problem. For some reason everyone presents stats on 1950s era reactors and then claims that those same stats should apply to reactors built today. Yup. How true. In fact, the computer I'm typing this message on takes up an entire city block. It was true in the 50s, so it must be true today! ;). Humans make the weirdest associations in their minds between facts that shouldn't be related, and it's hard to convince them that the faulty assumptions that come out of those mis-associations are incorrect.

1) Nuclear waste is comprised of a variety of materials, all of which decay to normal background radiation levels at a different rate, but none of which take billions of years. If something takes billions of years to decay to a non-radioactive state is isn't called 'waste'. We have a different word for such things: 'rocks'. The speed at which a radioactive material decays determines how dangerous it is. The faster it decays, the more radiation it puts out in a short period of time, and the more dangerous it is. If something takes billions of years to decay (like naturally occurring unprocessed U238), it isn't radioactive enough to be dangerous to a human.

The most dangerous waste lasts a few dozen years, while less dangerous waste (but still very dangerous) lasts a couple hundred. Neither of these are considered long term problems because they decay to non-dangerous levels quickly enough that the buildup of dangerous materials never becomes a storage issue (by the time new waste is created the old stuff is already harmless). The type of radioactive waste that is considered a problem is the stuff that lasts for a few thousand years. It takes long enough to decay and is produced in large enough quantities in currently active reactors that it is a PITA to store.

Newer reactors do not produce this long-lived waste in large quantities. Some designs create only a grapefruit sized amount of long-lived waste per year of operation. This amount of waste creation is insignificant on a per-watt basis, and can easily be safely stored for the thousands of years necessary. Note that storage itself isn't a problem. Storage isn't *that* expensive, and it isn't very hard. Finding geologically stable locations that won't be hit by natural disasters and aren't in someone's backyard, that's hard. That's why storage is an issue. Current reactors create long-lived waste fast enough that it cannot be stored at the available safe storage sites. Newer reactors create waste slower so that by the time a storage site is filled to capacity, the very first waste that was placed into the site will be ready to be removed (it will have decayed to the point where it is putting out levels of radiation similar to or lower than the background radiation that exists naturally).

2) All of the current generation of reactors were designed between 1950 and 1970. Saying "nuclear reactors are dangerous and create unmanageable waste, so we shouldn't build them" is like saying "Model T cars have a poor safety record, so no one should buy the 2011 model cars from Ford". That's just silly statement to make. Model T cars are dangerous, but they're also no longer in production. Those that still exist are relics of an earlier age. The same is true of nuclear reactors. Currently designed reactors are not only to all intents and purposes incapable of meltdowns (they are designed so that they passively shut down if the safety systems fail. No computer control or human interference necessary. They just... stop), but they produce far less waste per watt generated than the oldschool reactors that everyone uses as examples.

3) U235 is relatively rare in Earth's crust. However, unlike oil, which many countries currently import from volatile 3rd world countries, the vast majority of commercially recoverable U235 is in two 1st world countries: Australia and Canada. So unlike oil, energy security isn't a big deal with U235 based reactors.

4) U235 rarity is an issue. Most currently operating reactors (but not all) require a mixture of U238 (which is relatively common) and U235 (which is very rare and expensive to extract). MOST currently operating reactors. Most. Newer reactor designs are generally "breeder" reactors, which not only generate less waste than standard reactors, but they don't require rare resources to operate. U238 based breeder reactors have already been designed and tested — however the test reactors that have already been built (again, in the 70's) were too primitive to be economically viable, and research on them was cancelled for nearly three entire decades due to the low price of oil in most of the 1980s and 1990s. That was... unfortunate to say the least. (And the same unfortunativity applies to solar power research, geothermal research, and fusion research.)

While U238 is relatively plentiful source of fuel for newer generation fission reactors, research has also begun on a replacement reactor: Thorium based breeder reactors. Thorium is common enough to be a long term fuelsource, even if we were stupid and used *nothing* but nuclear power. (The best source of energy is a diversified source of energy. As many different types of power generation as is reasonable should be used in order to decrease the chances of a single bout of bad luck destroying civilization.)

5)  Building power plants and mining fissionable materials are indeed fossil fuel heavy tasks. And so is creating solar panels. And so is making hydro plants. And so is making electric cars. And so is (to a lesser extent) building wind turbines. The reason behind this isn't because these activities *require* fossil fuels, it's because we just so happen to currently use oil and burn natural gas to accomplish pretty much everything we do. That's just the way our economy is set up. *Everything* requires large quantities of fossil fuels, because they are currently the energy source we use to do everything. That will change eventually.

Typhoon Megi kills seven in Taiwan, heads towards southern China

October 23, 2010 passed by Taiwan devastating the island, killing seven and trapping 400 in automobiles. Megi is currently heading northwards and is expected to make landfall in Mainland China by 0600 today. Megi currently has winds of 150 kph (95 mph) with gusts of 185 kph (115 mph).

According to Taiwan's Central News Agency at least 23 people were missing including nineteen passengers of a tour bus. Rescuers were searching for the missing persons, while distributing aid to stranded tourists in the mountainous northwestern region of the country.

China's Xinhua news agency reported that helicopter were able to evacuate 70 people from the country, it was reported that the driver and a passenger from a second tour bus were also listed as missing.

According to a spokesman from Taiwan's National Disaster Prevention and Protection Commission, Cai Min, soldiers were deployed to rescue 200 stranded Chinese tourists, more than 24 tourists had been rescued as of Friday.

The Joint Typhoon Warning Center has advised that Megi could make landfall in South China as early as 0600 UTC today. Although Megi is expected to make landfall quite a distance from Hong Kong, local officials are reminding residents to remain alert. The government has deployed teams to Hong Kong to mount sandbags, clear drains and trim trees, temporary shelters have also been opened.

Domestic and international flights in Southern China have been cancelled as strong gales are moving in ahead of Megi. About 130,000 fishing boats in the Fujian, Guangdong and Hainan provinces have been called back to port and about 150,000 in Fujian have fled to safety. The highest warning level has been issued for coastal ares China in anticipation of Megi. The warning gives officials the power to evacuate areas six hours before impact, close schools, airports and recall vessels in danger back to port.

Wikinews investigates the reconstruction of Pichilemu, Chile after February earthquake

October 24, 2010 Left: A recently constructed kiosk with the new design. Image: Diego Grez. Right: The original design of the kiosk, as shown in the plans by the Municipality. Image: Ilustre Municipalidad de Pichilemu. Eight months after a catastrophic earthquake, Wikinews has investigated the devastation caused in February and the reconstruction of Pichilemu, Chile. The February 27 earthquake and a subsequent tsunami completely destroyed Pichilemu's most coastal street and its oldest villages. Wikinews has also had access to the original design plans of the new kiosks in Pichilemu, and conducted an interview with merchant Alejandro Mella, known locally as the King of the ("El Rey del Cochayuyo"), who lost his kiosk after the earthquake.

Pichilemu is a coastal city in the O'Higgins Region of Chile, known as one of the "best surfing spots" in South America. Its current is Roberto Córdova Carreño, who was elected internally by the  of the city in September 2009, after several  that ended with three Mayors being displaced.

The territory of Pichilemu has a surface of 7,491 square kilometers, and comprises at least 24 villages, such as, and  (the latter two also severely damaged by the March 11 earthquake). Pichilemu is the most popular beach in O'Higgins Region, and many tourists visit it every summer.

'The house moved from side to side. I really thought it was going to fall': First earthquake strikes
The earthquake took place in what is considered the "last weekend in the summer;" on Saturday, February 27, 2010 at 03:34 local time (06:34 UTC), while almost all Chileans were sleeping. Hours earlier, on Friday, thousands of people had arrived at Pichilemu. "The house moved from side to side. I really thought it was going to fall. It was 3 or 4 minutes long," Diego Grez, a Chilean student who was in Pichilemu at the time of the quake, told Wikinews in an interview.

A concert was being held at the One Discotheque when the earthquake occurred. It is said that the audience panicked and fled outside the discothèque, and then to the La Cruz Hill. Most tourists fled outside the city right after the earthquake occurred, but many others opted to stay in the La Cruz Hill or the village of Pueblo de Viudas, which are the higher points in the city.

"Pichilemu is the symbolic beach resort in the Sixth Region [of O'Higgins], so it was not strange to even think that [during] the last weekend before the entrance to school, many people would be going to take advantage of it to take a vacation; and that's what happened," reported El Rancagüino, the most important newspaper in O'Higgins Region, on February 28.

The only radio broadcasting in the area was Entre Olas, directed by Jorge Nasser, which also helped Pichileminians know what happened in other affected places by the earthquake, as they re-broadcasted the audio of (National Television of Chile). On the day of the earthquake, the station reported that truck had crashed near La Cruz Hill. There was no tsunami warning, and Mayor Córdova was away on holiday when the earthquake struck.

"Those who live in Pichilemu, and those who were visiting it, were surprised by the giant waves that annihilated its beach and reached the city's square, destroying everything on their way," reported El Morrocotudo on February 28. "The most tough thing occurred when the firefighters' alarms sounded twice, and the people in the hill began to yell 'tsunami!'," journalist Tania Arce told the newspaper.

The earthquake destroyed one of Pichilemu's oldest and iconic buildings,, which was demolished in July. The urban centre of Pichilemu was not severely damaged by the earthquake, but its subsequent tsunami caused most of the destruction. The architecture in the city (three of his buildings are ) was damaged. was completely destroyed.

'It's something unforgettable to me, I'm proud I saved all of those lives'
According to, the Hydrographic and Oceanographic Service of the Chilean Navy, the tsunami triggered by the earthquake first reached Pichilemu, at 03:48 (06:48 UTC). A second wave came at 04:15 (07:15 UTC).

Policeman José Arévalo was the only person to warn residents that a tsunami was approaching. Arévalo was patrolling the Las Terrazas beach, when the earthquake occurred. He told El Rancahuaso there were around 25 people in the beach. "Right after the quake, he noticed the sea had shrank around 500 meters inside. He took his megaphone, and shouted people should leave the place instantly." "The sea is coming out! The sea is coming out!," he shouted. "The warning was also preceived by nightclubs and pubs surrounding the costanera. Then, the tragedy occurred. The sea destroyed everything on its way," El Rancahuaso reported. "It all was really quick. Everyone is safe, luckily [..] It's something unforgettable to me, I'm proud I saved all of those lives," Arévalo added.

The tsunami destroyed restaurants, hotels, kiosks, the Fishermen Store (Caleta de Pescadores), surf schools, the (located right in front of the Las Terrazas beach) and houses near the costanera (the nearest street to the beach), and flooded the building of the Government of, the boarding school of Pichilemu, the city square (Arturo Prat Square), and the Supermarket El 9.

A local worker, Ricardo Vivanco, also known as "El Gordo" ("The Fat one"), almost was killed by a tsunami, ignoring warnings by the Police and the Fire Bureau. Vivanco was drunk, and went down to the Las Terrazas beach with his friends. The wave washed him away, and was hit on the Agustín Ross Balcony's wall. His friends recorded a video and uploaded it to YouTube.

Damage in Punta de Lobos and villages
It was reported by Radio Entre Olas on February 27, that the tsunami had provoked massive damage in, Pichilemu's most popular beach. The owner of Entre Mar, an hotel and restaurant in that beach, said the tsunami had destroyed all of his buildings there.

The village of was badly damaged, and approximately 600 people were made homeless by the earthquake,  reported on March 16. "We are keeping the government informed, we're also organized with some churches [sic, religious organizations] that are working voluntarily in Espinillo, Los Boldos, Alto Ramírez [...] We thank a lot their work, that is not to give them mediaguas [temporary tenements], but something definitive, but I also think they need resources to do it," Mayor Córdova said.

'We are here because we fear about our safety': Residents scramble after second earthquake
On March 11, Chile was hit by a second earthquake, that reached a magnitude of 6.9, and that occurred 40 kilometers southwest of Pichilemu. It occurred at 11:39 local time (14:39 UTC), while the new Sebastián Piñera was sworn in.

A tsunami warning was issued by SHOA, between and  regions. People in Pichilemu fled again to La Cruz Hill. Military authorities assured people in the hill they were going to be safe there, and that it was unlikely a tsunami was going to hit again Chile's coast. The tsunami warning was lifted at 15:50 local time (18:50 UTC).

People stayed in La Cruz Hill for a longer time than after the previous earthquake, and several activities were made there, such as a concert by Chilean-Brazilian singer. People were also given food, wood (mostly remains from the destroyed kiosks), and electricity.

"We are here because we fear about our safety. We don't want it [a possible tsunami] to catch us. We have to settle down here and to accommodate," Edith Larraín told to Wikinews. Mayor Córdova estimated that at least 2,000 people were staying at La Cruz Hill. Militaries and provincial authorities asked them to leave the hill on March 15, but most refused the deal. People eventually left the hill, due to complaints by the Mayor.

Eight months on, reconstruction begins
On March 20, in collaboration with the, Colonel Raúl Melo, and the Mayor of  Bernardo Cornejo, Mayor of Pichilemu Roberto Córdova announced a "tourism revival campaign" of Pichilemu, promoting the surf practice, whose goal was "to make the city go back to the normality."

On April 4, the first monument was erected in memory of the earthquake and tsunami victims. The monument was created by local artisans, with rocks from several places of the Cardenal Caro Province. "We wanted to create this monument so we don't forget it [the earthquake] [...] This is the beginning of the reconstruction," said Julio Ibarra. The monument was placed in front of the beach, near the building of the Cardenal Caro Government. Mayor Roberto Córdova said that "it definitely will help us reconstruct [ourselves] espiritually, [and that] is essential."

On October 20, with the help of the Government, SERCOTEC (Technical Cooperation Service, Servicio de Cooperación Técnica) and FOSIS (Solidarity and Social Investment, Fondo de Solidaridad e Inversión Social), the Fishermen Store (Caleta de Pescadores) began to be reconstructed. Caleta de Pescadores is administered by the Independent Labour Union of Fishermen of Pichilemu (Sindicato de Trabajo Independientes de Pescadores Artesanales), which has twenty-three members.

"The Government of President Sebastián Piñera has been worried about the fishing area, carrying out several actions in help of them, after all that they've suffered after the earthquake and tsunami that hit them [...] This area is working normally again," Governor Ibarra said.

New kiosks; interview with Alejandro Mella
On October 6, the Municipality of Pichilemu published the design of kiosks that were going to be constructed, as replacement of those destroyed by the earthquake. As of October 23, four kiosks have been constructed in Pichilemu, specifically on Las Terrazas beach, and two more are being constructed. According to Mauricio Grez, a construction engineer, the construction of one kiosk would cost up to US$ 2,500 (CLP 1,000,000).

Alejandro Mella, locally known as "el Rey del Cochayuyo" ("the King of the Cochayuyo"), is a merchant of Pichilemu, who promotes the cochayuyo (), and lost his kiosk after the February earthquake and tsunami. "I was given my [former] kiosk by the Mayor Orlando Cornejo, back in 1993. It was right in front of us [in front of Las Terrazas beach, near "the grotto of the Virgin"], and was made smithereens by the tsunami," he told Wikinews.

"I have always worked on selling cochayuyo here, and the terrain where my kiosk was located before has been disputed by private people, and the municipality approved that. I talked with the Mayor and he said 'I don't know what's going on the beach'; that left me perplexed. [...] I like the new design of the kiosks, they are larger, and we can do more things with it, but they are way too expensive," he added. Mr. Mella also gave Wikinews a sample of his work as "the King of the Cochayuyo", an essay called "El cochayuyo es una mina repleta de nutrientes y sales minerales" ("Cochayuyo is a mine full of nutrients and mineral salts", pictured below), which he sells for 200 Chilean pesos (0.41 US$), and that contains "tips and information about the plant, and some recipes."

Title and lead
I'm a little worried about the title. I originally thought of creating an article only for the kiosks' news, but it seems I'm doing an "in depth" investigation of the Feb 27 earthquake, its consecuences and the reconstruction. Don't think it is a bit stale, because it will contain (probably) a further interview with the Mayor of the city Roberto Cordova and with merchant Alejandro Mella. --Diego Grez return fire 16:31, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

Talk:WikiLeaks releases Iraq War logs

Sourcing notes
This is a request to reinstate information from an earlier version of the story that has since been redacted. I'm new so not sure how to write in the regular talk page, so I am writing comments here.

Regarding a previous version -- the additions I'd made were from the source I'd cited -- There were several articles at www.guardian.co.uk, plus the talkback section, and everything that I'd added to the WikiNews article was from there. I'd spent about 3 hours navigating through their articles.

Here is the sourcing, line by line

1.) "The report is notable in detailing US and British war crimes." The source is http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/oct/22/iraq-war-logs-military-leaks Failing to maintain law and order is a war crime under the Geneva Convention. Here is a quote - An "Occupying Power shall be bound, for the duration of the occupation, to the extent that such Power exercises the functions of government in such territory, by the provisions of the following Articles of the present Convention: 1 to 12, 27, 29 to 34, 47, 49, 51, 52, 53, 59, 61 to 77, 143." From http://www.icrc.org/ihl.nsf/FULL/380?OpenDocument

2.) "In contravention to the Geneva Conventions, which state that an occupying force has a duty to maintain law and order," This is based on the citation listed above. This sentiment is also written in the comments section here. http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/oct/22/iraq-war-logs-military-leaks?showallcomments=true#start-of-comments

3.) "the war logs describe hideous scenes of torture and abuse committed by Iraqi security forces, to which the Coalition forces have a policy of non-interference." This is from http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/oct/22/iraq-war-logs-military-leaks and also from http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/video/2010/oct/23/iraq-war-logs-torture-frago242

4.) "In many cases, Coalition forces gave information to the commanding officers in charge of and complicit with the abuse." This is from http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/oct/22/iraq-war-logs-military-leaks

5.) "These war logs contain more evidence than that which has convicted people at the International Criminal Court in the Hague, and there is a serious movement building to place those responsible for the Iraq War in custody." This is from http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/oct/23/united-nations-call-obama-investigation-abuses-iraq and also from the comments section of http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/oct/22/iraq-war-logs-military-leaks?showallcomments=true#start-of-comments

I consider it bad form and potentially inflammatory to reinstate my own work, but perhaps someone else will read the sources and reinstate the additions I'd made?

Regarding neutral point of view, that is based on the data at hand, however ugly. It would be appropriate to reinstate this work. Thanks!The san gabriel mountains (talk) 18:46, 23 October 2010 (UTC)
 * "Comments" sections are not acceptable for anything other than direct attribute to a specific comment from a specific commenter. I have significant concerns with many of the above claims you are making, that are not backed up to these sources. Perhaps you could be much more specific, and provide quotes from secondary sources that support your claims? -- Cirt (talk) 21:15, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

The_san_gabriel_mountains responds:

Will do -- these are all secondary sources. The primary sources would be the original war logs themselves, or interviews.

--1. "A grim picture of the US and Britain's legacy in Iraq has been revealed in a massive leak of American military documents that detail torture, summary executions and war crimes." from the source cited in (1.) above, http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/oct/22/iraq-war-logs-military-leaks

--2. The quotation in (2.) is a quote from the Geneva Conventions. An "Occupying Power shall be bound, for the duration of the occupation, to the extent that such Power exercises the functions of government in such territory, by the provisions of the following Articles of the present Convention: 1 to 12, 27, 29 to 34, 47, 49, 51, 52, 53, 59, 61 to 77, 143." From http://www.icrc.org/ihl.nsf/FULL/380?OpenDocument

--3. "The new logs detail how: • US authorities failed to investigate hundreds of reports of abuse, torture, rape and even murder by Iraqi police and soldiers whose conduct appears to be systematic and normally unpunished." from the source cited in (3.) above, http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/oct/22/iraq-war-logs-military-leaks

and "The numerous reports of detainee abuse, often supported by medical evidence, describe prisoners shackled, blindfolded and hung by wrists or ankles, and subjected to whipping, punching, kicking or electric shocks. Six reports end with a detainee's apparent death." from the same source,

and "Iraq war logs: Frago 242 – a licence to tortureHow the newly released US military files reveal an instruction to ignore detainee abuse by Iraqi authorities; what that meant on the ground; and just how far up the chain of command the order went" from http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/video/2010/oct/23/iraq-war-logs-torture-frago242

--4. "They record "no investigation is necessary" and simply pass reports to the same Iraqi units implicated in the violence." from the source listed in (4.), above, http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/oct/22/iraq-war-logs-military-leaks

--5. "The UN has called on Barack Obama to order a full investigation of US forces' involvement in human rights abuses in Iraq after a massive leak of military documents that detail torture, summary executions and war crimes." from the source listed in (5.) above, http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/oct/23/united-nations-call-obama-investigation-abuses-iraq

and "If unjustified or unlawful force has been used, prosecutions for those responsible must follow, so we are bringing forward a new case seeking accountability for all unlawful deaths, and we argue that there must be a judicial inquiry to fully investigate UK responsibility for civilian deaths in Iraq." from the same source, http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/oct/23/united-nations-call-obama-investigation-abuses-iraq

and the quotation about lesser evidence having been brought before the Hague War Crimes Tribunal was from http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/oct/22/iraq-war-logs-military-leaks?showallcomments=true#start-of-comments It was a comment, which has since been deleted by their moderators.

This quote is also interesting- "As an aside, what wikileaks has done is to ensure that History cannot simply be written by the victors." from the comments section of http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/oct/22/iraq-war-logs-military-leaks?showallcomments=true#start-of-comments.

That's all I had written, and some direct quotes from behind it. Once this is read, I hope my work is reinstated. This could be construed as an attempt at censorship. We all have a duty to act in good faith. Thanks!The san gabriel mountains (talk) 23:55, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

Nope, the US government. --188.23.68.43 (talk) 11:19, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

What about the famed Wikileaks "insurance" DVD file a few months ago?
1., A few months ago Wikileaks posted a huge 1.4GB "insurance file" with yet unknown ciphered content and stated its checksum: MD5: 94a032849b1f446e3a1ed06cf4867a56 *wikileaks_insurance_sha1_cce54d3a8af370213d23fcbfe8cddc8619a0734c.aes256

What is the significance of that insurance file in light of the Oct 22 mega-dump-leak on Iraq War? The article should state that!

2., Where is the full-dump ZIP file download of the 400k document Iraq War leak? The article should specifiy that! I can find only single article browse interface. Thanks! 82.131.210.163 (talk) 11:07, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

User:Sang ksatria baja belang

Setelah didemo,Presidenku lagi-lagi katanya pencitraan…Presiden Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY) kembali menangis.Tetesan air mata tak bisa dibendung saat memberikan arahan pada puncak peringatan 50 tahun Hari Agraria Nasional di halaman belakang Istana Bogor kemarin. Selama hampir satu menit, Presiden terlihat menahan diri untuk menghentikan sambutannya dan menggigit bibir dua kali agar air matanya tidak menetes.

yang jadi pertanyaan..kenapa menagis pak Presiden?????

SBY menyampaikan :

Mengapa saya terharu melihat saudara-saudara kita rakyat kecil, para petani yang selama ini tidak punya apa-apa, mereka memiliki sebidang tanah dengan sertifikat. Berarti itu dengan status hukum yang pasti,kira-kira luasnya 500 meter persegi.Ini mengubah keluargakeluarga itu,”ujarnya.

wah…saya juga menangis pak..tapi kenapa baru sekarang..kemana ajah selama ini pak,petani dari dulu miskin..kemana ajeh mentrinya pak..ga ngasih tahu yah pak..???

TRAGEDI sby MENANGSI:

1. Presiden SBY menahan tangis yang cukup berat saat berkunjung ke tenda pengungsi, melihat para korban tsunami di Aceh.

2.Presiden SBY mengis saat ke rumah duka Almarhum Ali Alatas,

3.NOnton Film Nasional..ayat-ayat cinta

duh …saya ikut sedih pak….

rakyat bukan butuh sedihnya bapak,tapi rakyat perlu sejahtera..6 tahun sudah pak….”kata orang” dan Harusnya rakyat yang menangis karena cuma dapet 500meter

Teenager killed in shark attack on California beach, water was like 'river of blood'

October 23, 2010 A nineteen-year-old California teenager, Lucas Ransom, was killed on Friday when he was by a  while he and his friend Matthew Garcia were surfing at Surf Beach west of Lompoc and within Vandenberg Air Force Base's 42 mile coastline. "Imagine a river of blood. That's what the wave looked like for a minute," Garcia said. "It was very stealth. You would have never known there was a shark in the water. It was all really quick." The stated that they believed the shark was between 14 and 20 feet (4.3 and 6.1 meters) long.

The pair had been in the water for about 45 minutes when a shark appeared and pulled Ransom under the waves, Garcia added. There was no warning. The shark appeared to be about 18 to 20 feet long. Ransom looked at his friend a couple of feet away and said "Help me, dude," before getting lost in the waves, Garcia said. Ransom's parents confirmed that the shark tore his leg from his pelvis and Garcia attempted to revive Ransom with chest compressions, but he died from loss of blood. Witnesses told officials that the teenagers were about 100 yards (90 meters) from the shore when the shark attacked. Firefighters from the pronounced Ransom dead at the scene. "He was a great guy and great friend," Garcia said.

Officials immediately closed local beaches after the attacks and they will remain closed for at least three days. Wildlife officials are still trying to determine what type of shark was involved, but based on the boy's injuries it is thought to have been a, who are known as the most frequent unprovoked attackers. Local lifeguards speculated the attack could have been a case of mistaken identity as Ransom was wearing a gray wet suit at the time, which may have made him appear as a. Shark attacks are extremely rare on the west coast of the United States.

Apple air attracts me for its cute type. I purchased my vistro of dell, 2009, and I want to extant its EMS. According to this article is impossible to do it with the "a unique concoction". Additionally, apple air has ipad-like interface, although apple offers me apps like this "Top 10 Best Free iPad Photo Apps for Download" which is listed by ifunia, a multimedia software company, for ipad, and declared by jobs that ipad has 35,000 apps in itunes store for ipad, this is less than apps designed for macbook.

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 Lance64. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Lance64~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)

Renamed
 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.

Thread:Comments:Tropical storm Richard forms, drifts towards Honduras/IS IT COMING TO THE SOUTHERN JAMAICA/reply

Hello, the chances of it making landfall in Jamaica are slim as it is moving off to the west. However according to the met service, "The centre of Tropical Storm Richard remains southwest of Jamaica and is expected to move further west, away from the island by tonight. Unstable weather conditions, however, persist across the Jamaica area; with morning showers and thunderstorms occurring across southern parishes. The forecast is for moderate to heavy showers with thunderstorms, this afternoon across mainly central and western parishes. Flash flooding of low lying and flood prone areas is therefore likely" and a flash flood watch is in effect for central and western parishes.

Comments:WikiLeaks releases Iraq War logs

There's a reason this kind of stuff is marked secret, and Julian Assange has no damn right to break that. If it was anyone else releasing that information, the FBI or the CIA would be all over him like chicken pox in a kindergarten. And now he's been denied official residency in Sweden, he's got nowhere to go with his "whistle blowing" protection, since Sweden was the only place to offer it in law. Personally, no matter how much he thinks this is in the common good, Julian Assange needs to learn that sometimes, it's better to let people believe you're a fool, than to do something so stupid that it proves it beyond all reasonable doubt. Shame on WikiLeaks. BarkingFish (talk) 15:51, 23 October 2010 (UTC)
 * For someone who exercises their right to freedom of speech and the press so exuberantly, Your harsh criticisms of Assange lack substance and seem to contradict your own desire for freedom of expression. Sure you can Bark all you want, but for one so bold as to call themself "Barkingfish", I must say - your bark has no bite. 67.142.172.24 (talk) 02:29, 28 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Before you come on here spouting your giblets at me, I don't desire freedom of expression when it involves publishing something which could potentially endanger the lives of people providing intelligence to the soldiers, and trying to stop the war rather than lengthen it. If you'd be prepared to put freedom of expression above the lives of hundreds more civilians in Iraq who could see themselves hitlisted because of the absence of a proper checking procedure by Wikileaks, then more fool you I say.

Five police officers injured in Naples protest over new garbage tip

October 25, 2010 Five police officers were injured as they attempted to quell a demonstration over plans to build a large garbage tip on the edge of an Italian town, officials confirmed on Saturday. Two police officers and three suffered minor injures during the protest, which lasted several hours. Residents of, a municipality in the , hurled stones and fireworks at the police, who responded by attempting to disperse the demonstrators using teargas and baton charges. Protesters are campaigning against the opening of a new waste dump near the town, and the incident on Saturday is the latest in a series of demonstrations in which campaigners are preventing access to the existing garbage tip.

The blockade means waste disposal workers are unable to collect refuse, and it has been reported that 2,000 tones of rubbish has already piled up on the streets of Naples. Protesters set the garbage alight on Friday evening,, the mayor of Naples confirmed. Some protesters burned Italian flags and set cars on fire. "The bad smell bothers us, but it is the lesser evil," one protester, a grammar school teacher, said. "The most important thing is that we are dying here, there is leukaemia, lymphoma, myeloma, there are the most terrible diseases around." Two parents added that their children were suffering from respiratory problems and paediatricians had advised them to move away from the area. "They have ruined our lives, the lives of our children who are growing up in a world of rubbish, they are destroying our lives day by day," said one.

In 2007,  pledged to create a solution to Italy's ever-growing problem with litter. However, a European commisioner has warned the Italian government that they may face legal action from the (EU), who may be able to fine them for failing to improve waste management in Naples. "I am worried by what has been happening in Campania in recent days," said, the. He added that the EU were considering sending a team to the area to assess whether laws protecting human health and the enviroment were being breached. "Today's situation leads us to believe that measures taken by Italian authorities since 2007 are insufficient," he said. "What has been happening in the last days shows that the Italian authorities have not yet done what is needed." Mr. Potočnik added that he felt that the region still had no waste management and that the only incinerator "is not functioning properly and at full capacity."

Students evacuated after police find suspected drug lab at Georgetown University

October 24, 2010

According to the Washington, D.C. Metro Police Department, three students have been arrested for drug paraphernalia possession at after a suspected drug lab was found in a school dormitory. Students were evacuated from the building around 6:00 am (1000 UTC), and were let back in at approximately 9:00 am local time (1300 UTC).

Police officials said that, around 6:00 am local time, they received a call about a strange smell inside the Harbin Hall dormitory. According to police spokesperson Hugh Carew, D.C. Fire and Emergency Medical Services responded and found chemicals used to make drugs, but no actual drugs. At first, law enforcement authorities thought they had discovered a lab, but they later found that the drug being produced was the hallucinogen, or DMT.

According to Pete Piringer, a fire department official, seven people were exposed to the chemicals and treated on scene; however, none of them were injured. The (DEA) has said that the chemicals used to make the drugs were not a health risk to other students.

Thread:Comments:Wikileaks releases Iraq War logs/Why the focus on the U.S.?/reply

Perhaps it's easier to get US documents? I also suspect (even hope) that issues like prisoner abuse and mistaken targets are more likely to weigh on the conscience of the Americans sitting on those documents.

It might also be virtually impossible to leak compromising information in the countries you mention, and people from countries with access to WikiLeaks (who are interested in WikiLeaks) are probably already aware enough of the general issues in those countries. Thus there'd be little hope of effected change.

That's all optimistic speculation, though. I'm not oblivious to the existence of people who like to "blame America."

Prime Minister of Barbados David Thompson dies at age 48

October 25, 2010 The Bajan Prime Minister, 48, died this morning at 2:10 am local time after battling pancreatic cancer. It has been reported that his wife, Mara, and their three children were at his bedside when he died. Hours after his death, Deputy Prime Minister was sworn in as the island's new Prime Minister.

Thompson was best known for restoring the island's Democratic Labor Party back to parliamentary majority, decentralizing government, strengthening social services and improving the Barbadian economy according to the island's government. His wife was quoted as saying, "Barbados has lost its loyal son and faithful servant before he had the time to realize his lifetime dreams. ... We enjoyed and endured his public service experiences. He was always indebted to the people and the party for affording him the opportunity to see the mountain top" to the Caribbean Broadcasting Cooperation (CBC).

The opposition leader of Barbados was quoted as saying, "There will be times in the life of a nation when circumstances or events have the power to bring out the best in us all. This is one such time."

The Prime Minister of Jamaica and the chair of CARICOM,, has said that he is deeply saddened by the news and was quoted as saying, "The Caribbean has lost one of its youngest and most vibrant leaders who remained strong, determined and focused to the very end." Golding also commended Thompson for fighting "a brave fight to the very end demonstrating the unconditional love for his country and a commitment to the people of Barbados."

The opposition leader of Barbados, Owen Arthur, is calling the death a "tragic and staggering loss" and described Thompson as "one of the most remarkable Barbadians of his generation and whose whole life from very early was devoted to public service and politics." The Bahamian Prime Minister, Hubert Ingraham, said that he was "deeply saddened" at the loss of his "friend and colleague."

The Prime Minister of Trinidad and Tobago, Kamla Persad Bissessar, has issued her "deepest condolences" on behalf of her administration and the people of Trinidad.

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

G20 agrees to avoid currency war, also agrees to reduce trade imbalances

October 26, 2010 The (G20) of the world's leading developed and developing countries' finance ministers agreed on Saturday to pursue a plan that would avoid dangerous currency devaluations and would also would attempt to reduce trade imbalances. The plan was introduced by the United States, and the G20 meeting was held in South Korea.

The plan was announced amid rising worries of a "currency war" that would lead to  in order to get an export advantage and would damage the global economy. "Our cooperation is essential. We are all committed to play our part in achieving strong, sustainable and balanced growth in a collaborative and coordinated way," a statement released by the G20 said.

On the topic of trade imbalances, the G-20 stated that "excessive imbalances" would be "assessed against indicative guidelines to be agreed." This statement was weaker than a commitment proposed by United States Treasury Secretary, which would keep trade imbalances "below a specified share" of for the next few years. This proposal was met with strong opposition from export-based economies such as Japan, whose Finance Minister argued that specific targets were "unrealistic", but approved of unspecific "guidelines". He added: "There are many perspectives on the current account issue. Every country has a different situation when it comes to surpluses and deficits. So we need to study this carefully."

The United States said that they will continue to push for numerical targets and specific time frames at next month's South Korean summit, where the heads of state of the G20 will convene. "If the world is going to be able to grow at a strong, sustainable pace in the future . . . then we need to work to achieve more balance in the pattern of global growth as we recover from the crisis," US Treasury Secretary Geithner declared. The finance ministers also set China on the track to floating its currency more, and overhauling the (IMF) to give more representation to developing powers such as China and India.

The G20 was created in 1999, includes both developed and developing countries, and represents 85% of the world's economy. The G20's heads of state will meet in Seoul, South Korea, next month.

Thread:Comments:Swedish man uses webcam to broadcast suicide live on internet/"I do not think they are taking the threats seriously. There is a terrible lack of empathy on these forums."/reply (3)

Human life is precious. Unfortunately those of us that are blessed with non-problematic lives tend to overlook what pains and ails others and often times making their disadvantages even harder for them.

You say that 9 times out of 10 a suicide threat is not serious but you are wrong; very wrong. What you should say is that 9 times out of 10 a threat does not result in a suicide. That does not and will never mean that the person conveying the thoughts is lying or giving false information. To make such a leap of assumption to conclusion shows that you are not at all knowledgeable in the human mind.

Few people will ever utter a suicide threat or make reference to life with out them unless its something that has crossed their mind. Even those that try to play off such a comment as a cruel joke or as a way of getting attention are only trying to mislead you into believing that they are alright. Ask any family member or close friend of a suicide victim and you will surely find that the majority of them will tell you they never saw it coming. Family and friends are often lost and confused in the aftermath of a suicide. They are riddled and tormented with questions and why it was that there were no warning signs.

What causes this lack of proceeding evidence is our society and the way it looks upon suicide. Your comment "9 times out of 10 the threats are not serious"  demonstrates my point profusely. We choose to look at suicide as one may look at a person with leprosy or with schizophrenia. The bottom line is our society has placed such a strong social prohibition on anything to do with suicide we would rather keep the problem a football field length away than dive into head first and really try to help those who are in need.

You say that the threats aren't serious. This translates into ... "I don't want to feel guilt or responsibility about not being proactive... and I really don't want to do anything.... so to feel better lets make the problem go away by saying it doesn't exist."

My first sentence states that human life is precious. It is - every one of them. Life is short already and we should be working together as a species with common interest to try to prolong all lives around us. Whether we engage in lives of scientific and medical research to aid our fellow man in long life or whether we are philanthropists and ambassadors of well being to improve the lives of the destitute, preserving life should be the first and foremost concern.

Once suicidal thoughts and threats have been made... all witnesses should move forward with caution and care. These statements should always be taken seriously and should be followed up on in a manner of reaching out. Though a person may not seem like the 'type' that you may think would go through with such an act... this is all the more reason you should take any such statements seriously. A comment that seems like it was made for comical or entertainment purposes is usually done so purposefully. Many people who have suicidal thoughts and desires don't know how to truly communicate these thoughts. This typically is one of the underlying problems that lead to their hopelessness and path to suicide. They already feel disconnected and alone. Their suicidal cry for help will seem off hand and out of place and not serious but will be very real. Once you or people like you that share the same outlook on these "not serious" statements dismiss them without even batting an eye, or worse, mocking them, they will be driven even closer to the edge.

When a person alludes to or references suicide in anyway it should first be taken seriously. Many lives could be saved if we, as a society, would take people's comments, feelings, and behaviors more seriously. Please don't con yourself into believing that its ok to ignore such imperative statements. The vast percentage of those that have taken their own lives have given clues and signs. But those of us around them have failed them miserably by not wanting to deal with the problem. We choose to be blind to it or take away the value of it. We are all guilty in someway. We should be more proactive in helping those that can not help themselves.
