National Hockey League news: February 28, 2008

February 28, 2008

There were 6 games played in the National Hockey League on February 27, 2008. Colorado finishes their three-game road trip in eastern Canada against the Canucks, Minnesota tries to break a 4 game losing streak in an out-of-conference game against the Lightning, and the Maple Leafs try to pick up their fifth win in 6 games.

Nashville Predators @ Buffalo Sabres
Steve Bernier made his debut for the Sabres, scoring the first two goals of the game in the first period. In the second period, Daniel Paille put Buffalo ahead by 3. Jan Hlavac put Nashville on the board 45 seconds later. Nashville came within one goal 34 seconds later when Jason Arnott scored his 23rd goal of the year. Andrew Peters got that one back for Buffalo, when he scored his first goal of the season. Arnott made it a 1 goal game again with his second goal of the game on a Predators power play. Jason Pominville scored his 19th goal of the season at 14:50 in the second period. Derek Roy put the Sabres up by 3 going into the second intermission. In the third period, David Legwand scored Nashville's second power play goal. Tim Connelly and Ales Kotalik each scored for Buffalo in the third period, giving the Sabres their first win in three games. Ryan Miller left the game in the second period after a puck hit his mask and bent the guard, giving him a bloody nose. He returned 8 minutes later. Miller made 24 saves.

San Jose Sharks @ Columbus Blue Jackets
Jonathan Cheechoo scored on the Sharks' first power play to give them the first lead of the game. Columbus tied the game before the end of the first period when David Vyborny scored his 4th goal of the season. In the second period, Vyborny scored his second goal of the night to give Columbus their first lead of the game. It wouldn't last though, as San Jose put three goals past the Blue Jackets goaltender Pascal Leclaire. First, Torrey Mitchell tied the score at 10:51. Jeremy Roenick put the Sharks back in the lead with a power play goal. Joe Pavelski put San Jose up by two goals before the second period ended. Evgeni Nabokov stopped all but two of Columbus's 19 shots on the night, picking up his 35th win of the season.

Minnesota Wild @ Tampa Bay Lightning
After a scoreless first period, Todd Fedoruk put the Wild up by 1 early in the second period with a short handed goal. That was closely followed by Pavol Demitra's 13th goal of the season. Michel Ouellet put the Lightning on the scoreboard 12:22 into the second period. Brian Rolston scored his 22nd goal of the season on a Minnesota power play to put Minnesota up by 2 in the third period. Jeff Halpern would put the Lightning within 1 goal, but despite a late third period power play, plus the extra skater on for the pulled goaltender, they couldn't tie the score. Minnesota breaks a 4 game losing streak. The Lightning have now lost 5 straight. Niklas Backstrom made 31 saves for Minnesota, earning his 25th win of the season.

Toronto Maple Leafs @ Florida Panthers
Jassen Cullimore scored first for the Panthers at 9:27 in the first period. Brett McLean would give Florida a 2 goal lead going into the first intermission. Jeremy Williams, who had a goal in each of his other two NHL appearances, scored his first goal of this season 6:56 into the second period to put Toronto within one goal. In the third period, Toronto captain Mats Sundin scored to tie the game at 2-2. Rostislav Olesz would retake the lead for Florida 11:45 into the third, but Sundin scored his second of the night with 1:08 left in regulation to send the game to a shootout. Tomas Kaberle scored the only shootout goal, when his wrist shot beat Tomas Vokoun through the five-hole. Vesa Toskala made 37 saves for the Leafs.

Phoenix Coyotes @ Chicago Blackhawks
Chicago's Jason Williams scored the only goal of the game, a shot that deflected off of Coyotes center Joel Perrault's skate, 7:58 into the first period. Patrick Lalime stopped all of Phoenix's 32 shots, earning his first shutout since February 7, 2007. Ilya Bryzgalov only allowed 1 of Chicago's 24 shots, but the one allowed turned out to be the game winner.

Colorado Avalanche @ Vancouver Canucks
Mason Raymond put Vancouver on the board after a scoreless 1st period. Later in the second period, Andrew Brunette scored his 13th goal of the season to tie the score 1-1. In the third period, Alex Burrows scored on a goal with 1:45 left in regulation, a goal that was allowed after a video review was done to verify that the puck completely crossed the goal line. Joe Sakic tied the score with 15 seconds left to send the game into a shootout. Sakic and Marek Svatos each scored on the shootout, giving Colorado their second consecutive win. Jose Theodore stopped 29 of Vancouver's 31 shots. Roberto Luongo stopped 24 of Colorado's 26 shots.

Wikinews Player of the Day
Today's Wikinews Player of the Day is Joe Sakic, captain of the Colorado Avalanche, who returned to the Avs roster on February 24 after missing 36 games due to a hernia. Sakic scored the tying goal to force overtime, and the decisive shootout goal, in the Avalanche's 3-2 shootout win against the Vancouver Canucks.

Other news
The General Manager of the Ottawa Senators, Bryan Murray, fired head coach John Paddock, and assistant coach Ron Low, for "performance issues". Paddock, who had been head coach of the Senators for less than a season, lead the team to a 13-1-0 start, but has since gone 11-12-2 since the beginning of 2008. Murray, who was head coach of the Senators from 2005-2007, will take over the responsibilities of head coach.

Claims from British quake may run into "low tens of millions of pounds" - Insurance association reps

February 28, 2008 Representatives from the British insurance industry have said that the cost of the earthquake which hit Britain early yesterday could be over 10 million GBP. The Association of British Insurers has said in a statement that the cost for the earthquake is "likely to run into the low tens of millions of pounds."

The Senior claims manager at the UK bank Norwich Union has described the damage by saying that at the moment most insurance claims regarding the earthquake describe "minor damage such as tiles off roofs, breakages inside the homes and brick walls collapsing." It has also been reported that approximately 1,200 insurance claims were made in the first twelve hours after the earthquake hit Britain.

These reports come one day after the United Kingdom was hit by a 5.2 earthquake. Tremors were reported as widespread as Edinburgh, Manchester, Sheffield, Middlesbrough, Cambridge, London, Birmingham and Southampton.

Former PM Thaksin returns to Thailand

February 28, 2008 Thaksin Shinawatra, the former Prime Minister of Thailand, has returned to his country after being deposed 17 months ago in a military coup d'état. Within minutes of landing in Bangkok, he was arrested on corruption charges by immigration police, though Thaksin proclaims his innocence, stating that the charges against him are politically motivated. He has been granted bail for 8 million baht (£132,000/$261,000/€173,000) and was ordered not to leave the country.

Thousands of his supporters gathered at the airport to welcome him back to Thailand.

"When the game is over, we must come together and settle our differences, forgive everything and help each other push the country forward," the Guardian have reported him as saying. "I can prove my innocence. The allegations are empty."

In 2006 Thaksin was forcefully removed from office by the military who "cancelled the upcoming elections, suspended the Constitution, dissolved Parliament, banned protests and all political activities, suppressed and censored the media, declared martial law, and arrested Cabinet members," according to Wikipedia.

During the coup, Thaksin's Thai Rak Thai party was outlawed and senior members were banned from politics for 5 years. However, his political opponents in Thailand fear that, now he has returned, he may influence politics from behind-the-scenes.

Garuda Indonesia Flight 200 pilot forced to resign

February 28, 2008

The pilot of the Boeing 737 which crashed on March 7 upon landing at Yogyakarta Airport after a domestic Indonesian flight, has been forced by his airline to resign. The crash of Garuda Indonesia Flight 200 killed twenty-one people, most being Indonesian nationals and five being Australians, following a visit by then Australian Foreign Minister Alexander Downer.

Garuda sent the pilot, Marwoto Komar, an ultimatum requesting his resignation with which he complied. Had he failed to do so, his employment would have been terminated. The news coincides with police officials forwarding to prosecutors some documents recommending that Komar be charged with negligent manslaughter over the crash, which carries a maximum sentence of seven years imprisonment.

The final report into the disaster found that Mr Komar ignored fifteen activations of the Ground Proximity Warning System informing him he was attempting to land too fast. After touching down at double the maximum safe speed, the aircraft overshot the runway and caught fire.

Kamal Firdaus, legal representative of Mr Komar, said "We regret Garuda so soon giving Marwoto the option of being fired or resigning."

Mr Komar was arrested early this month, but was subsequently released on bail on February 15. He is thought to be the first pilot to face prosecution for an aviation accident or incident in Indonesia.

Rights groups: Forcing Wikileaks.org offline raises 'serious First Amendment concerns'

February 28, 2008 The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) have sided with Wikileaks.org and will defend them against a lawsuit which took the site off line in the United States. Wikileaks is a website dedicated to hosting leaked documents that are "anonymous, untraceable, uncensorable."

On February 18, 2008, a permanent court injunction issued in the in San Francisco by judge Jeffrey White, California to Bank Julius Baer (BJB), a Swiss Bank, took the domain name offline. However the site remained online via its IP address and alternative domain names. Wikileaks previously published hundreds of documents obtained from a of the Swiss Bank, "purportedly showing offshore tax evasion and money laundering by extremely wealthy and in some cases, politically sensitive, clients from the US, Europe, China and Peru."

"Blocking access to the entire site in response to a few documents posted there completely disregards the public's right to know," said Ann Brick a lawyer for the ACLU. At least 18 other organizations have signed documents in defense of Wikileaks. Those documents have been forged into a 'joint Amici Curiae ("friends of the Court") brief; which will be submitted to the court and used as defense evidence in a hearing scheduled for Friday February 29.

Despite the attempts by the ACLU and others, Bank Julius Baer says that their lawsuit has nothing to do with the rights of free speech.

"This action has been brought solely to prevent the unlawful dissemination of stolen bank records and personal account information of its customers. Many of those documents have also been altered and forged," said the Bank.

Recently the Bank has made allegations that they have been "unable to negotiate with Wikileaks" at all before or during legal proceedings. Wikileaks, in a press release denies the allegations.

"Wikileaks at all times responded with grace and dignity to BJBs highly irregular demands and left communication open," said Wikileaks which also adds that the correspondence with the Bank is available on its website on servers in Denmark. "BJB did not submit the correspondence to the court, although it must be absolutely central to the issues held there. We wonder why?"

Talk:Rights groups: Forcing Wikileaks.org offline raises 'serious First Amendment concerns'

Press release from WL
"Bank Julius Baer & Trust -- the shadowy Swiss-Cayman "private banking" entity currently attempting to sue Wikileaks before US Federal court Justice Jeffery White in San Francisco has released a misleading press release on, where else, but "Business Wire". Wikileaks doesn't have $500 to spend on propaganda wires, but Wikileaks has something better -- the truth, verifiable and lots of it:

WIKILEAKS RESPONDS

Baer alleges that they couldn't negotiate with Wikileaks. This is a lie.

Wikileaks at all times responded with grace and dignity to BJBs highly irregular demands and left communication open. A full record of the correspondence is available on http://Wikileaks.be/ The last letter is from Wikileaks. BJB did not submit the correspondence to the court, although it must be absolutely central to the issues held there. We wonder why?

Wikileaks is happy to let the public decide, but the shadowy Swiss-Cayman "Bank and Trust" has been allergic to the sun from the very beginning. The first sign of its hyper-sensitivity was when its Hollywood lawyers, Lavely & Singer refused to put their demands in writing -- even email -- as requested. The second sign was when the same lawyers refused to even identify their client! Finally the lawyers refused to even state what city they would be taking their threatened action in so Wikileaks could arrange representation in that city, instead preferring to abuse process and arrange a hearing where Wikileaks was not represented. But don't take our word for it -- see submissions to the court by our then pre-litigation council Julie Turner and the correspondence between Wikileaks and the bank on http://wikileaks.be/

It is clear BJB decided to hire Hollywood lawyers Lavely & Singer who abused process and it is now paying the consequences. Wikileaks demands an apology.

Nearly all of the documents at issue are over 10 years old with the most recent document being from 2003. BJB claims in its court filings to have been aware of their release since 2003 and the Swiss media had the documents in 2005. The documents are nearly all trust arrangements setting up anonymizing shell structures. The only relevance these documents have now is that they expose who was funneling money through the Cayman Islands trusts a decade ago.

BJB stated in its Business-wire press release that "It wasn't our intention to shut down the Web site". This is a lie. The requests to the court to do just that are a matter of public record. Further, at any time, including now, BJB could have asked the court that its earlier request for an order to shutdown the site be rescinded. It has not done so. While one might be tempted to blame Hollywood lawyers run amuck, BJB continues to employ the same law-firm, which can only be an endorsement of it its ruinous behavior.

Until attacked by the bank Wikileaks took a skeptical position on the documents. BJB in attempting to shoot the messenger has only succeeded, spectacularly, in shooting itself."

Kenyan government and opposition agree on power sharing

February 28, 2008 The heads of the government and opposition in Kenya have signed a power sharing agreement aimed at ending the crisis over December's disputed elections. The agreement was reached after a day of talks mediated by former United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan and the Chairman of the.

Kenyan President Mwai Kibaki and opposition leader signed the agreement before international diplomats and representatives of the Kenyan government and opposition.

Chief mediator Kofi Annan said that the two leaders had agreed on a government structure after five hours of intensive talks.

"I am pleased to be able to tell you and all the citizens of Kenya that the two parties this afternoon completed the work on agenda item three, how to overcome the political crisis," he said.

The two sides agreed to the creation of the posts of prime minister and two deputy prime ministers. The prime minister is accorded authority over the ministries. The prime minister is to be nominated by the largest party or coalition in parliament and can only be removed by a majority vote of the national assembly. The accord also calls for distribution of the ministerial posts according to the relative strength of each party in parliament. And it calls for the changes to be enacted by constitutional amendment, a major demand of the opposition. The Prime Minister post has gone to Odinga.

Mr. Kibaki and Mr. Odinga pledged to ensure that the accord is implemented and called for unity among all Kenyans. Mr. Annan commended the two parties, saying they reached a common position for the good of the nation. And he had a message for the citizens of Kenya.

"Compromise was necessary for the survival of this country," he said. "Support this agreement, for it is the key to the unity of Kenya. It is the foundation for national reconciliation and it is the springboard for national recovery."

British Prime Minister Gordon Brown released a statement calling the signing of the power-sharing agreement a "a triumph for peace and diplomacy."

"Kenya's leaders have reached a power-sharing agreement that represents a triumph for peace and diplomacy, and a renunciation of the violence that has scarred a country of such enormous potential. Common sense has prevailed, and the Kenyan people have the outcome for which they have hoped and prayed," the statement said.

Brown also thanked Kofi Annan for his work and urged the international community to play their part and support Kenya's new government. Brown also noted that "Real leadership, patience and tolerance is necessary to ensure that the agreement sticks."

Kenyans are viewing the deal skeptically, such as 56-year old refugee Paul Waweru, "The deal between Raila and Kibaki will help to cool down the situation but I doubt if it will enable us to get back to our homes."

Diana Murugi, 72, lost her two sons in the violent fighting that has plagued Kenya since the end of the disputed elections at the close of last year.

"The coalition is about Kibaki, Raila and the big men, what about those of us here in the camp? How will I reconcile with people who killed my sons? It is impossible, even if Kibaki and Raila are in the same government," she said.

Parliament is to convene next week to enact the measures. Mr. Annan said the negotiations would resume Friday on long-term issues such as constitutional reform and ways to end inequalities in land and wealth distribution.

The two sides have been meeting for nearly five weeks in an effort to find a political solution to the Kenya crisis. One thousand people were killed and several hundred thousand were displaced in the violence that erupted after Mr. Kibaki was declared the winner of a presidential election that the opposition says was rigged.

Gene that causes deadly heart condition identified

February 29, 2008 A team of research doctors and scientists in Newfoundland have discovered the gene that cause the rare heart condition Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy, or ARVC.

ARVC is believed to be higher in Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador than anywhere else in the world. Dr. Terry-Lynn Young and her team of researchers at the Memorial University of Newfoundland made the discovery after 12 years of research of the occurrence of the condition in up to nine generations of families.

ARVC is an often hereditary condition where heart muscle is slowly replaced by scar tissue and fat.

"It's almost like an electrical storm that happens periodically," Young said. "It's extremely difficult to diagnose because most people will have no symptoms."

Newfoundland has been called a "geneticist's paradise" because several families can be traced to very specific communities in England and Ireland.

There were 7 games played in the National Hockey League on February 28, 2008. The Penguins, with their newly acquired Marian Hossa face the Bruins, the Senators take the ice for the first time since their head coach was fired, and the Flyers try to get their second straight win after a 10 game losing streak.

Pittsburgh Penguins @ Boston Bruins
Marco Sturm scored a pair of goals in the first period to put Boston at a 2-0 lead. In the second period, Zdeno Chara scored at 2:21 to put the Bruins ahead by 3. Per Johan Axelsson gave Boston a 4 goal lead heading into the second intermission. The newly acquired Pascal Dupuis scored his first goal as a Penguin to put Pittsburgh on the board at 13:03 in the third period. Boston would retake a 4 goal lead before the game ended with David Krejci's power play goal. Tim Thomas made 27 saves for Boston, and increased his record to 23-14-4. Marian Hossa, another new addition to the Pittsburgh roster, left the game in the second period after a knee-on-knee collision with Glen Murray.

Ottawa Senators @ Philadelphia Flyers
Jason Spezza scored first for Ottawa on their second power play, breaking the scoreless tie at 6:33 in the second period. After the goal, Spezza butt-ended Braydon Coburn with his stick during some post-goal roughhousing, resulting in Spezza being ejected from the game. Jim Dowd scored to put Philly on the board later in the period. In the third, the Flyers took their first lead of the game when Mike Knuble scored a pair of goals, the second being a power play goal. Martin Biron made 32 saves, earning his 23rd win of the season.

New York Rangers @ Carolina Hurricanes
Brandon Dubinsky put the Rangers on the board at 3:50 in the first period with his 13th goal of the season. Sean Avery also scored in the first period with 44 seconds left to give New York a two goal lead. Chris Drury had a goal 2:14 into the second period. Erik Cole put the Hurricanes on the board before the halfway point of the second. Carolina came within one goal, when Cole scored his second of the night on the team's 4 minute power play in the third period, but Brendan Shanahan would put the blue shirts back up by 2 a few minutes later. Henrik Lundqvist stopped 26 of Carolina's 28 shots, picking up his third straight win.

New York Islanders @ Atlanta Thrashers
Mike Comrie gave New York the first goal of the game 9:15 into the first period. Just over two minutes later, Josef Vasicek put the Islanders up by 2 with his 14th goal of the season. Andy Hilbert scored to put the Islanders up by 3. Eric Perrin scored on a penalty shot to put Atlanta on the board. Then, Ken Klee, who was assisted by the newest Thrasher Colby Armstrong, scored his first of the season to put the Thrashers within 1. Atlanta tied it up when Alexei Zhitnik scored 1:14 later. The Islanders retook the lead when Comrie scored his second goal of the night 3:17 into the third period, but Atlanta would force overtime when Bobby Holik scored with 1:22 left in regulation. Trent Hunter won it for the Islanders 1:09 into the sudden death overtime, giving the Thrashers their fifth straight loss.

Phoenix Coyotes @ St. Louis Blues
The Blues took the first lead of the game when Ryan Johnson scored 15:13 into the first period. Ed Jovanovski scored on a Coyotes 5-on-3 power play a couple minutes later to tie the game. While still on a 5-on-4 power play, Niko Kapanen scored on a deflection from Keith Yandle to give Phoenix their first, and only, lead of the game. The one goal lead would hold through the next two periods, as the Coyotes sweep the season series against St. Louis, and give the Blues their 5th straight loss. Ilya Bryzgalov made 41 saves, earning his 25th win of the season.

Chicago Blackhawks @ Dallas Stars
Dustin Byfuglien put Chicago on the board first when he scored a power play 4:08 into the game. The Stars responded less than a minute later when Niklas Hagman scored his 23rd goal of the season. Mike Modano gave Dallas their first lead of the game just before the halfway point of the first period. Hagman scored his second of the night 2:47 into the second period. Loui Eriksson put Dallas ahead by 3 less than two minutes later. Trevor Daley put a goal past Patrick Lalime, which was the last shot he faced of the night, as he was replaced by Corey Crawford. Rene Bourque scored his first of two short handed goals of the night for the Blackhawks, but Hagman would complete the hat trick moments later. Andrew Ladd put Chicago back within 3 goals with over 10 minutes left in the game, but Jere Lehtinen would retake a 4 goal lead for the Stars, his 12th goal of the year. Bourque scored his second short handed goal of the night with 1:45 left. The Stars win their 4th straight. Brad Richards assisted in 5 goals in his Stars debut.

Los Angeles Kings @ Edmonton Oilers
Andrew Cogliano put Edmonton on the board first 47 seconds into the game. Anze Kopitar tied the score with 6 seconds remaining in the first period. Patrick O'Sullivan scored his 17th goal of the season to give Los Angeles their first lead of the game. Ales Hemsky and Robert Nilsson scored a pair of goals about a minute apart to jump into the lead. Just 57 seconds later, Los Angeles retied the game when Dustin Brown scored his 27th goal of the season. Hemsky scored his second of the night to retake the lead for the Oilers, and Fernando Pisani would cushion their lead with two minutes left in the second period. Brown scored short handed to put Los Angeles within 1 with 9:47 left in the game, but the former King Mathieu Garon would preserve the lead for Edmonton. The Oilers win their third straight game, and finish the season series tied with Los Angeles, 2 games a piece.

Wikinews Player of the Day
Today's Wikinews Player of the Day is Brad Richards of the Dallas Stars. Richards, who was traded by the Tampa Bay Lightning in a 5 player deal on Tuesday, played in his first game in a Dallas Stars uniform. He earned 5 points on 5 assists, and assisted in the game winning goal by Trevor Daley.

Crude oil price reaches new high

February 29, 2008 Crude oil prices in New York rose to a new record of US$102.59 per barrel on Thursday, although the figure increased even more during after hours trading. In less than a month, prices have risen $10, leading the inflation adjusted prices above the record highs set during the 1980s. Information provided by the International Energy Agency has said that the previous record was $102.53, with the figures being adjusted according to inflation levels.

While the weak dollar is seen as a major cause of this rise, Congressman Ron Paul of Texas, pointed out to Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke in a committee meeting this week that despite the rapid ascent the of price of oil, it had remained flat when compared to the price of gold. Increasing demand for oil has also been cited as the cause for this increase. Violence in Nigeria earlier this year has led to a drop the country's production by almost a quarter. The most recent information produced by the Energy Information Administration has shown an increase in gasoline prices for all but one of the areas surveyed.

There have also been suggestions that reports of a fire at a National Gas Terminal may have contributed to the rising oil price. Tim Evans from Citigroup Futures said he believes "that this fire at the UK natural gas terminal is creating a strong push in the European market, and that is translating here [the US]."

Iraq approves execution of 'Chemical Ali'

February 29, 2008 Iraqi officials say the government has approved the death sentence for Ali Hassan al-Majid aka "Chemical Ali," a cousin of Saddam Hussein, who is widely known for his role in poison gas attacks on Kurds in Iraq. It is expected that the execution will be carried within a month.

Iraqi officials said Friday the presidency council approved the execution of Ali Hassan al-Majid two days ago. Under Iraqi law that means the former Saddam Hussein defense minister will be hanged within 30 days.

Majid ordered chemical attacks against Iraqi Kurds in the 1980s as part of a campaign to quash Kurdish resistance forces. The government of Iraqi Kurdistan says 180,000 Kurds were killed during the Anfal Campaign, including many civilians. Thousands more were deported.

Falah Mustafa Bakir is director of the Prime Minister's office for Iraq's Kurdistan Regional Government. He says Iraqi Kurds want those responsible to face justice.

"For us it was important for these crimes to be documented for the whole world and people to understand that a lot of injustices were committed against our people and we wanted the crimes to be documented and the courts to be open to the public for people to realize that what we were saying was the truth," he said.

In June, Majid and two other Hussein-era officials were convicted of genocide and crimes against humanity for attacks on Iraqi civilians and sentenced to death by hanging.

An appeals court upheld the verdict in September, but the execution was delayed as politicians debated who had the right to give final approval on sentencing.

The two other officials are senior Hussein-era military chief Hussein Rashid Mohammed and former Defense Minister Sultan Hashim al-Tai. Their execution orders have not yet received final approval.

The United States military is holding all three officials and says Iraqi authorities have yet to make a request for them to be handed over.

Kenya negotiations resume; parliament to debate power sharing accord

February 29, 2008 Opposition and government negotiators in Kenya resumed talks on Friday, focusing on long-term aspects of the country's crisis. The talks received a boost after the leaders of the government and opposition reached a power sharing agreement.

After breaking the deadlock over power sharing, negotiators for the Kenyan government and opposition began to focus on resolving what are seen as long-term solutions to Kenya's crisis, namely constitutional reform, land distribution and poverty.

The talks took on a new vitality after President Mwai Kibaki and opposition leader signed a power sharing accord in the presence of chief mediator Kofi Annan, Chairman of the African Union  and the  diplomatic corps.

Mr. Kibaki said he would convene parliament next Thursday to begin debate on the constitutional amendments needed to implement the accord. The speaker of parliament,, said he does not anticipate any difficulties in passing the constitutional changes.

"There must be a bill prepared by the government, a bill which will then be tabled in parliament," said Marende. "After it is tabled in parliament it will then be moved in the normal manner and it will be debated and voted for."

Opposition parliament member noted that the Kenyan constitution currently allows parliament to change the constitution with a two-thirds majority vote. He said this should not be difficult to muster given the broad support for the agreement.

"The main obstacle will be political brinkmanship and hardliners that may crop up," said Namwamba. "But otherwise, if every side maintains the goodwill that has been demonstrated by the two principals, then I do not foresee any difficulty in the implementation of this deal."

The agreement calls for the creation of the post of prime minister who will supervise the ministries and can only be dismissed by a majority vote in parliament. Mr. Odinga is expected to assume this post.

The accord also calls for the distribution of ministerial posts according to the relative strength of each party in parliament.

The African Union, Britain, and the United States welcomed the agreement saying they hope it will bring peace and reconciliation to the country.

Kenyans reacted with spontaneous street celebrations in some cities, although some cautioned that similar deals in previous years ended up in failure.

One thousand people were killed and several hundred thousand were displaced by violence that erupted after Mr. Kibaki was declared the winner of a presidential election which the opposition says was rigged.

Prince Harry ordered to return home

February 29, 2008 Prince Harry has today been ordered to return home, after details that the 23 year old's front line engagement was leaked by an American website. The details of the Prince's engagement had previously been kept secret by many British and international news agencies, including the BBC and the Associated Press.

The leak of the information was said to be "regrettable" by the Ministry of Defence, however this meant that Prince Harry was ordered to return home due to fears for his, and the others in his unit's safety. Prince Harry will be flown home "immediately", after 10 weeks of front line service. During this he worked as a Joint terminal attack controller (JTAC) and was involved in major operations on the frontline against Taliban forces.

The media blackout was created to lower the risk to the royal, whilst in service in Afghanistan, and was the first large scale agreement of its kind. The media groups who signed up to the agreement were rewarded with interviews with the Prince.

Comments:Prince Harry ordered to return home

== Granted, I am an American and don't follow the daily life of the British royal family, but I would venture to guess that the Prince's attractiveness as a target has been grossly overestimated. -161.88.255.240 19:25, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I disagree --Anonymous101 Talk 21:13, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

(-161.88.255.240 19:25, 29 February 2008 (UTC)) : That is a very poor judgement call there. For the Taleban it could well have been a very tempting target to seize a Royal, not only for the major shock it would cause throughout the world, but the damage it could do to the UK and US war effort in Afghanistan. (remember when Ken Bigley was kidnapped by islamic forces in Iraq, the militants wanted the allied forces out along with other demands, which the British government denied. Imagine how the public would react if the british government caved in to demands to get a member of the Royal family back from militants, when they ignored the plight of innocent people). So your judgement obviously wasn't given too much thought. Philbuck222 - (talk) 18:37, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

only the media
will do something that stupid for a story not caring for the after effect (which they want so they can get an other story) but at least the English media kept it a secret --66.229.35.146 20:10, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

website endangered a life to get a news story
The website that leaked the news endangered the life of Prince Harry, just to get an exclusive. How can any publication be so deeply unethical. --Anonymous101 Talk 21:12, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

 * Have you not heard of Faux News? They make a living at doing this kind of stuff.  Fephisto - (talk) 23:09, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

I think it is incredibly admirable that a Royal is serving in front-line position and am quite frankly amazed that he was able to go ten weeks without the media leaking it (leave it to Drudge to play spoiler). Personally, though, I think that the reason he should be taken out isn't that HE would be in danger (he already was), but the threat to his comrades. He would put a huge bulls eye on his unit, potentially making them instant threats if the Taliban tried to seize him. And imagine the potential for more British troops to be killed in the event he was seized and the Brits tried to rescue him. One person isn't worth that risk in a situation like that.

It is deeply shocking for me, a British person that media from America, our biggest ally in Afghanistan had decided to put not only the Prince and his unit's lives at further risk, but the entire contingent of Allied forces in Afghanistan also in further risk of a large scale Taleban attack. All for five seconds of glory and no interview with the prince. All I can say is that I a glad that Prince Harry has returned safely and now his unit perhaps has less of a perceived threat from Taleban forces. Philbuck222 - (talk) 18:29, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

And now Harry wants to go back in anyhow!
Is he trying to be a hero or is he trying to be "an hero"? 204.52.215.13 17:41, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
 * No more of a hero than any other soldier. I quite admire him playing down the role and giving the credit to the soldier who are dying out there (which they OFC deserve). Just a shame that as always some yank ruined it for everybody.--144.82.106.23 14:10, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Mystery surrounds ricin discovery in Las Vegas hotel

March 1, 2008 On February 14, a man staying at the Valley View Extended Stay America hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada was hospitalized after experiencing respiratory distress. The man lapsed into unconsciousness and has been at the hospital ever since.

Since the bills at the hotel were going unpaid, Extended Stay America began to evict the man from the room. Another man, described as either a friend or relative, went to the hotel on Thursday to collect the personal belongings of the hospitalized man.

According to Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department Deputy Chief Kathy Suey, he found several vials of a white substance. He brought them to the attention of the hotel manager, who called police.

Initial tests, which further tests confirmed on Friday, the substance was the deadly toxin ricin, an extremely dangerous biological agent. Ricin is extracted from castor beans through the waste produced in the manufacture of castor oil. It is currently being used in cancer treatment research. There has been research for its use as a chemical/biological warfare agent. An amount smaller than the point of a pin will kill a human being. It is estimated to be several thousand times more toxic than cyanide and there is no known antidote.

Police cordoned off the area around Valley View between Flamingo Road and Harmon Avenue. Three employees and the man who made the discovery were taken to the hospital as a precaution. So were three police officers. They are all reported to show no signs of poisoning.

Nevada National Guard and other emergency services responded to secure the area. Residents at the Extended Stay America were allowed back into the building late Thursday. The hotel reopened fully on Friday after the room and other areas of the hotel were decontaminated. The man whose room it was "is in critical condition and he is unable to speak with us right now. We have no indication why the ricin was in that room," said Deputy Chief Suey.

"Usually, if [ricin victims] survive the first three to five days, they usually do fine," Dr. Lawrence Sands told CNN. However, survivors often have long-term organ damage.

At least three pets were found in the room. "Two of those pets are fine. One of the pets is deceased or was put down," Suey said. "The dog that was in there was without food and water for a week," she added that there was no reason to supect it was exposed to ricin. Castor beans were also found in the room.

Officials have also recovered from the room a firearm, as well as an "anarchist" text containing an article on ricin.

Federal Bureau of Investigation spokesperson Richard Kolko said the incident is being treated as a criminal matter and did not appear to be related to terrorism "based on the information gathered so far."

Captain Joe Lombardo of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department said that ricin is not illegal to own unless it is intended for the poisoning of a person, adding that "We did have enough ricin to be of concern."

In 2003, a man committed suicide in Las Vegas using ricin. There have also been a few incidents where ricin powder was found in the mail. Also in 2003, the United Kingdom had the Wood Green ricin plot which in the end found no ricin.

In 1978, Bulgarian defector Georgi Markov was famously assassinated in London with ricin injected with the tip of an umbrella.

Wikileaks claims ‘abuse of process’ in court case that resulted in wikileaks.org being taken offline

February 29, 2008 Wikileaks has claimed in a press release that the Swiss bank, Bank Julius Baer & Trust, has abused the system by involving an administrator of the Wikileaks group on Facebook in the court case which has recently lead to a court injunction causing wikileaks.org DNS entry to be removed. As of this writing, Wikileaks could still be accessed via its IP address at http://88.80.13.160/wiki/wikileaks.

The Facebook user who became involved in the court case has responded to this by saying that "I am an officer of a Facebook group, which is essentially a message board for discussion of issues relating to Wikileaks. I am not, and never have been, an officer of Wikileaks, and I request you [Bank Julius Baer & Trust] not to represent that I am."

Bank Julius Baer & Trust’s law firm said that “as an officer of a defendant in this action, my client [Bank Julius Baer & Trust] is entitled to serve you [the Facebook User] a copy of the summons and complaint pursuant.”

In a different press release, Wikileaks stated that they were not sure of the authenticity of the documents from Bank Julius Baer & Trust until the court case started. They say that the bank "in attempting to shoot the messenger has only succeeded, spectacularly, in shooting itself."

The injunction, which a Wikileaks user describes as 'blind' and 'unlawful' was granted in the California Northern District Court in San Francisco, California. The case was regarding several documents allegedly obtained from a whistleblower of the Bank Julius Baer & Trust.
