New earthquake hits Chile (0:31)

A strong earthquake hit Chile at approximately at 14:52 local time on Friday. The United States Geological Survey reported that it reached a magnitude of 5.6, at a depth of 7.3 kilometers with the epicenter located 28 kilometers to the south of Pichilemu, a coastal town in the O'Higgins Region about 165km to the southwest of the capital, Santiago. The University of Chile Geological Survey reported it is most likely an aftershock to the March 11 earthquake.

Wikinews reporter Diego Grez, who was in Santa Cruz at the time of the tremor, reported that the power went out for approximately 30 minutes and people evacuated their houses quickly. In Pichilemu, the power also went out, but came back in a few minutes.

Chile's National Emergencies Office has reported no casualties or structural damage.

Cyclone Laila (LAY-LUH) packing winds of 110 kilometers per hour closed in on the east coast of India on Thursday as tens of thousands of people evacuated their homes, fearing major storm damage.

Laila hit the state of Andhra Pradesh as heavy rain and strong gales battered the coast, state authorities said at least 30,000 people had been evacuated from low-lying areas. The armed forces were drafted in to help the evacuation efforts after Andhra Pradesh's chief minister called Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to request extra assistance.

The Indian Meteorological Department graded the cyclone as "severe", and said it was due to hit land near the city of Machilipatnam after moving from its current position 100 kilometers (62 miles) off the coast in the Bay of Bengal.

The department's latest warning said a "storm surge" of up to two meters above the regular tide was likely to inundate parts of Andhra Pradesh. It said large trees were likely to be uprooted, houses damaged and escape routes from the coast flooded. All fishermen were ordered to stay on shore due to "very rough" sea conditions, and the Asian Tribune said Reliance Industries had suspended crude oil and gas production in the Bay as a precaution.

The agency said 40,000 people had been evacuated from hundreds of coastal villages, while some air flights and train services were also affected. State disaster officials said that besides existing cyclone shelters, schools and community halls were serving as relief camps to evacuees.

However, three people were killed when a shed collapsed during heavy winds and a fisherman drowned in rough seas in the neighboring Tamil Nadu state. Local unconfirmed reports have put the total death toll at between 14 and 17.

India and Bangladesh are hit regularly by cyclones that develop in the Bay of Bengal, causing widespread damage to homes and fields. Last May, Cyclone Aila tore through southern Bangladesh killing 300 people and destroyed 4,000 kilometres of roads and river embankments, leading to major flooding.

US scientist creates 'artificial life' (4:04)

 * Music Credit Negative Ions

American biologist Craig Venter has announced that he has created the first ever "artificial life form" on Earth at the J. Craig Venter Institute, a U.S. laboratory and research center.

The breakthrough is the culmination of fifteen years of research and builds upon earlier work, research which saw the creation of a synthetic bacterial genome and the transplant of a genome from one species of bacteria into a second. This new lifeform has been nicknamed "Synthia", a name derived from synthetic life form, and is a combination of these two previous techniques.

A genome was created using synthetic chromosomes made from bottles of chemicals, the chromosomes sequenced to create a genome using as a template an existing bacterium. A bacterium from different species then had its own genome removed and the synthetic one transplanted in its place. Venter's achievement is that the new genome switched on and the new cell replicated to create new cells. A process likened to the booting of a computer with a new operating system.

Venter's achievement has been dismissed by some as falling short of a true technological breakthrough, claiming that rather than creating a new genome, that he has merely recreated the genome of an existing bacterium: "a technical tour de force" but not breakthrough science, according to Caltech geneticist David Baltimore.

Amongst the possibilities of artificial bacteria being talked about, are bacteria tailored to solve climate change by taking CO2 out of the atmosphere and to develop new vaccines. More complex organisms could include algae which would both be a source of biofuels and a CO2 remover. This is not, however, the instant solution to the Earth's major problems. Although enough is now known to duplicate a genome, there is insufficient knowledge as to what the role of individual chromosomes within the genome do. Any advances in synthetic biology to design life forms would require a much greater understanding of how the creation of proteins are coded in a genomes chromosomes.

On this day in history (6:35)

 * Music Credit They That Go Down the the Sea in ships

In 1879, The Naval Battle of Iquique was fought between Chile and the alliance between Peru and Bolivia taking place off the, by then, Peruvian port of Iquique (which is currently Chilean). The battle took place during the War Of The Pacific, also known as the "Saltpeter War", which arose from disputes over the control of territory that contained substantial mineral-rich deposits.

In the battle, the Peruvian warship Huáscar, commanded by Captain Miguel Grau Seminario, managed to sink the Chilean corvette Esmeralda.

Esmerelda's commander, Arturo Prat Chacón, died when the iron clad Huáscar rammed his less powerful wooden ship, but he had stood bravely, shouting "To boarding, boys!", before a Peruvian sailor delivered a deadly axe wound to his head.

Though the Esmeralda was lost and Prat killed, the battle had destroyed many other Peruvian ships, leaving the Huáscar to fight the Chilean Navy alone and with thousands of Chilean youths inspired by Prat's bravery, Chile was reinvigorated and the battle became one of the most important factors leading to victory in the war and Prat eventually became Chile's greatest naval hero.

What I am saying is there are more credible groups opposed to Obama that could have been interviewed.

By choosing to interview the obviously retarded ones as the key opposition, the "other side" as you put it, is clear distortion mongering.

California teen becomes youngest to conquer Everest

May 24, 2010

, a thirteen-year-old alpinist from, California, is the youngest person to have summited , according to reports circulated by the Associated Press quoting a spokesman based in the United States. The expedition included the boy's father, stepmother, and three Sherpa guides.

Romero ascended 8,850 (29,035 ) breaking the record for the youngest climber on Everest previously set by 16 year old Temba Tsheri from Nepal. "It's something I've always wanted to do before I die — I just happen to be doing it at this age. I happen to be going for a world record. But I just want to climb it," Jordan told AFP reporters before embarking on the trek. On the same day, mountaineer Apa Sherpa, from Nepal, scaled Everest for the 20th time breaking a personal record.

It is anticipated that additional information will become available once the summit team returns to camp on the Tibet side of the mountain.

Stop creating strawmen. I still haven't described him as the other side. The point of bringing the man up is to demonstrate that I will talk to anyone. America was in full Obama-fever; asking a professional racist about him is going to be, ah, controversial.

Times Square bomb suspects arrested in Pakistan

May 22, 2010 At least six suspects, wanted in connection with a failed car bomb attempt in, New York City on May 1, have been arrested by authorities in Pakistan. The arrests follow a visit to Pakistan by two high-ranking American security officials—US National Security Adviser and, director of the  (CIA), both of whom praised Pakistan for its efforts in tracking down suspects in the bomb attack.

Amongst those arrested are the co-owner of a large company which provides catering to several embassies in Pakistan and a major in the Pakistani Army, though the Army released a statement denying any involvment. Some are believed to have been educated in the United States. A notice on the website of the US embassy in reported that the catering company co-owned by one of the suspects had links to terrorism and has since advised US citizens against using the firm. Those arrested are believed to have had links with, the primary suspect in the bombing, who was arrested on May 3 on board an aircraft at New York's.

One source told : "We are investigating whether Ashraf has provided any financial support to Faisal because Ashraf and his father are rich people and they run a very big catering business" though another stated that "[t]hey may be innocent because being friends does not mean you are involved in the activities of your friends".

The suspects are currently being detained by the Pakistani security services, who are known to have close links with the CIA, to the extent of allowing CIA officials access to prisoners.

Indian airliner crashes; nearly 160 presumed dead

May 22, 2010 An airliner crashed last night in, India, killing an estimated 160 people after a flight from Dubai.

According to reports, the plane, a, crashed after landing and overshot the runway, coming to a stop in a forested valley before exploding. According to the airline, a total of 166 people were on board the plane, 160 passengers and six crew. One of the seven survivors said that a tire on the plane had exploded as it was landing and "[w]ithin three seconds there was a fire blast. The inside was filled with smoke."

The cause of the crash is not yet known, though pilot error is presumed to be responsible. The pilot of the aircraft, a with around 10,000 hours of experience, had made no distress call before the crash. Visibility was also said to be good; the head of India's airport authority said that "visibility was six kilometres (four miles) when the aircraft approached the runway which was more than sufficient." Light rain was falling at the time of the crash.

Another survivor said that there had been no warning before the plane crashed. "Immediately on touching the ground, the aircraft jerked and in a few moments hit something. Then it split in the middle and caught fire. I just jumped from the gap."

An Air India official said that "[a]s far as the information available with us is concerned, eight persons were rescued and shifted to local hospitals in Mangalore for treatment." He also said that one of these people, reportedly a seven-year-old boy, had died while being taken to a hospital. A police official said that around 120 bodies have been recovered so far, some with severe burns.

Rescue workers had difficulty reaching the site of the crashed plane, as the valley is bordered by steep slopes, and heavy smoke hindered their progress.

The airport the aircraft had been attempting to land at is considered a challenging one, as it is on a flat plateau bordered by a valley. A former official from India's aviation ministry said that " is a difficult field because it is on a plateau. From all accounts the visibility was all right. One can’t make any conclusions."

Families of the people killed in the crash will be compensated 200,000 (about $4,260 USD), while families of survivors will be compensated 50,000 rupees (about $1,064 (USD). All of the money will be provided by the government of India.

This crash is the first significant crash of a passenger jet in India since July 17, 2000, when 51 people on board a Boeing 737 were killed as it crashed into buildings during an attempt to land at an airport in the city of.

Car bomb in Iraq leaves at least 30 dead

May 22, 2010 The death toll resulting from a car bomb attack in northern Iraq yesterday has reached 30. The bomb exploded in the town of, approximately 50 miles north of the country's capital, Baghdad. The attack comes eleven days after a series of attacks killed over one hundred people in one day. The country is currently experiencing instability as a result of an inconclusive election result in march, which left no power bloc with an overall majority with which to govern.

The blast happened outside a busy coffee shop in the early evening, killing 23 and wounding a further 53 immediately, though death toll rose on Friday and currently stands at at least 30. Many buildings suffered severe damage in the attack—a local police lieutenant told Reuters: "The roof of the coffee shop which was full of people also collapsed. We believe there are still people under the debris".

Iraqi police have launched an investigation into the attack and into how the car managed to get through a security checkpoint. The deputy governor of called for the sacking of police chiefs after the attack, the second in the town in as many months, and referring to the town as a "disaster zone".

The attacks were apparently aimed at Shia Muslims in the hope of provoking further sectarian violence and a reaction against Sunni Muslims. While violence in Iraq has drastically reduced since its height after to 2003 invasion, there are fears that the recent attacks are a sign that militants are regrouping in the light of the political power vacuum. There is speculation that Al Qaeda in Iraq, believed to be responsible for the most recent violence, have begun targeting more vulnerable towns and cities, away from Baghdad, where security is tighter.

English footballer Beckham visits British troops in Afghanistan

May 22, 2010 English footballer David Beckham today arrived in Helmand Province, Afghanistan, the location of some of the most fierce fighting in the ongoing battle against the Taliban insurgency and the location of approximately 8,000 British soldiers and Royal Marines on a "morale boosting" mission. It is expected that he will spend the weekend in the country, visiting both and the Helmand provincial capital of Lashkar Gah.

Thirty-five year old Beckham, former captain of the, left on Friday, telling reported that he had "nothing but admiration" for the personnel serving in Afghanistan and that he had "wanted to visit Afghanistan for a long time and I hope that in some small way it helps remind everyone at home what an amazing job they are doing out here in very difficult conditions. I feel very humble."

The footballer will hold a question and answer session with British troops. He said that the hoped "to do something useful" in Afghanistan, having missed out on the upcoming World Cup due to injury. Beckham is also due to meet groups of Afghan children as well as other soldiers serving in Helmand, including Canadian, Dutch and Estonian forces. Three British cabinet ministers, including Foreign Secretary William Hague, Defence Secretary and International Development Secretary  also arrived in Afghanistan today on a separate, diplomatic, mission. They met with American General Stanley McChrystal, the NATO commander in the country and will meet Afghan President Hamid Karzai later today in the first official visit from the United Kingdom to Afghanistan since the new Conservative-Liberal Democrat coalition was formed after the UK general election two weeks ago.

Hague, who discussed Afghanistan with US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton last week, described the operation in the country as "our most urgent priority" while Fox emphasised that he wished to see a speeding up of the process leading to the withdrawal of British troops, saying "[n]ational security is the focus now. We [the United Kingdom] are not a global policeman." Beckham's visit comes as the deployment in southern Afghanistan is being restructured, with the southern command being split up into two commands, one under the command of an American two-star general and the other commanded by a British major-general. As Beckham was flying out, news broke that a Royal Marine had been killed in an explosion in Helmand.

Former Illinois governor Blagojevich asks US Supreme Court to delay corruption trial, prosecutors to respond by Friday

May 22, 2010

US Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens has given federal prosecutors until next Friday to respond to the request of former Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich and his brother to delay their corruption trial.

The trial is set to begin on June 3, and many of the charges they face are based on a federal honest-services law. The Blagojevich brothers challenge the constitutionality of this law and believe the trial should be delayed until the high court is expected to decide the issue next month. The request had already been denied by District Judge and the. Stevens, who handles appeals from the Seventh Circuit, had three options: reject the request for a delay of trial, grant it, or allow the federal government to respond. He chose the third.

The decision brings hope to the Blagojevich defense team. "We believe that means he sees this as not frivolous, and he's going to decide it on the merits," said Michael Ettinger, Robert's attorney. "We're somewhat cautiously hopeful he'll do the right thing."

Prosecutors added new charges, including bribery, against the brothers in case the Supreme Court finds the honest-services law unconstitutional. They believe the June 3 start date should not be held back.

I have no particular comments about this particular politician. But why do we keep electing people to govern us that we wouldn't buy a used car from?

Thread:Comments:KKE: Interview with the Greek Communist Party/Comments from feedback form - "I suppose it's asking too much..."/reply (8)

Lol. If you can get the other side - the Greek government - to talk, I'm ready and willing to interview.

Remember, I interviewed America's leading neo-Nazi shortly after Obama was elected.

You say that you talk to the other side if they are willing to talk, and to support you point you say that you interviewed neo-Nazis after Obama was elected. There is no strawman here, just misdirection on your end.

I'd like to see a full list of your interviews

Wikinews:Criteria for Categories

= Introduction =

The purpose of this guideline is to lay out clear criteria under which new categories may be created; when they should be created. And, cases where the creation of a category is clearly inappropriate.

Please bear in mind that Wikinews employs the DPL extension! This makes a significant number of the categories in existence on other projects, such as Wikipedia, unneccessary. Creation of such – effectively – creates additional maintenance work.

Thread:Comments:KKE: Interview with the Greek Communist Party/Comments from feedback form - "I suppose it's asking too much..."/reply (9)

No... I still used it as an example of speaking to absolutely anyone, to counteract implied suggestions I selected someone I agreed with and was therefore biased towards them. It is you who is misinterpreting what is written. The Nazi is there to support 'ready and willing to interview' not 'the other side'.

I'd like to see a full list of my interviews too, but I know of nobody who has nothing better to do than compile one.

User talk:Dsherry~enwikinews

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 Dsherry. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Dsherry~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 23:16, 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.

Longer statement
From my talk page: --Diego Grez return fire 01:48, 27 May 2010 (UTC)

Fox News's attempt to slime us for hosting artworks seems to have mostly blown over, which was pretty predictable, and would likely have happened far faster if it weren't for Jimbo's attempted cover-up. So long as we can point to a compelling educational value in our controversial images, it would be hard to really attack us and make us stick. Indeed, had Jimbo acted sensibly, he'd have made a press release pointing out the educational value of hosting notable works by French Decadent artists, and Fox News would've had a much weaker article that didn't include them being able to talk about "thousands" of deletions - and yet look at how much remains! (It was actually about 400 deletions, before the undeletions started. One suspects Jimbo's the one that fed them that thousands line somehow, not bothering to check, and... well, that's speculation.) Anyway, this would've been more-or-less over with, had sensible behaviour reigned.

But our defense depends on educational value. If the images don't have a legitimate educational value, if they're only intended to provoke, shock, and push the boundaries, with no artistic, historical, or educational value, then we're going to find it hard to defend ourselves. So we probably do need a policy on sexual content, but it can't be based on lies about laws, or knee-jerk capitulations to a scandalmongering media outlet: Instead, it needs to be about education.

Competent behaviour by Jimbo would've resulted in a review of the educational value of our images, and I'm sure that we'd have found some which should've been deleted. I don't know, honestly, I'm not that interested in photography, and don't really want to look at random pornographic images, in deletion logs that require you to click through to the full-sized image just to find out what they were. But notable artworks attacked and deleted, including some from my own field of expertise, engravings.

Look at it this way. One of my favourite engravers, and one which I have quite a number of Featured Pictures from, is Gustave Doré. His engravings to Dante's Inferno, which I only own a rather beaten-up copy of (though with the engravings themselves in good condition) are considered some of the best illustrations produced for Dante's work. However, the Inferno contains nudity and a lot of extreme violence. Doré depicts that. Now, imagine my reaction to seeing Jimbo deleting artworks as pornographic, at the same time as advocating for sadomasochistic works to be included in the list, and refusing to talk about where the line's going to be drawn until he's deleted everything - and that immediately after he had seemingly agreed artworks should be protected, and is now deleting artworks. That's pretty much how I got involved with this. Artworks I love, which are considered some of the masterworks of engraving, contain some incidental nudity, and some fairly extreme violence, because that's what the book they're illustrating is like. Who knew where it was going to end?

It's very hard to rebuild a destroyed collection. If we delete, as Jimbo did, Felicien Rops and Franz von Bayros - notable artists with their own articles on English Wikipedia - can we ever get their works back? My experience has shown that we don't have a lot of things you'd think we would in engravings, and have very few contributors of new scans of them. Once we decide artworks are pornography, even if this interpretation exists only in the mind of Fox News and Jimbo, how can I trust him not to suddenly decide that this illustration of The Inferno isn't pornographic too, deleting hours of work? Or deciding that Loki being tied naked to a rock with a snake dripping venom on him was BDSM, and so had to be deleted? How about this image from the Library of Congress, which I think is A. a horrible image, but B. does an exceptionally good job at illustrating why The Taming of the Shrew is rather uncomfortable to modern audiences, by bringing out the inherent misogyny?

Jimbo wrote that he "had thought that a good process would be to engage in a very strong series of deletions, including of some historical images, and then to have a careful discussion about rebuilding. That proved to be very unpopular and so I regret it. It also may have had the effect of confusing people about my own position on what to keep and what to get rid of."

However, when challenged about one of the artworks he deleted, he wrote that "I have redeleted the image for the duration of the cleanup project. We will have a solid discussion about whether Commons should ever host pornography and under what circumstances at a later day - June 1st will be a fine time to start."

In short, he was acting in a way that he says was "confusing people about [his] own position on what to keep" while he point-blank refused to discuss any of his actions for nearly an entire month.

Is it any wonder, in those circumstances, that people got upset, and that there was no way of telling where it would end?

[There. Divide that up a bit, slip in some questions of your choice, and you should have a decent article on my views =)]

Photoslide
Is it possible to have a non-offensive image as the first slide of the photos? I imagine that it would be in-your-face if one were offended by such depictions. I mean, reprinting the Denmark cartoons led to mass-boycotting of several notable European newspapers. — μ 22:12, June 7 2010 (UTC)

Review of revision 1039537 [Failed]

 * Nothing seems to have changed since the last review. Tempodivalse [talk]  00:29, 8 June 2010 (UTC)
 * No? I would like to point out it is still newsworthy. Interviews for me are always newsworthy, because they point out opinions even if they were made almost a month after the incident. --Diego Grez return fire 00:47, 8 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, but there has to be some effort to tie this in to a current event. We are a news source, after all. If we were interviewing some really important person, then the interview itself could become the event to report on, but that doesn't seem to apply here. Tempodivalse [talk]  00:50, 8 June 2010 (UTC)

OK? --Diego Grez return fire 00:52, 8 June 2010 (UTC)

 * I don't think that really answers my question, namely, it doesn't tie in to recent events. This controversy has sizzled down considerably in past weeks, from what I understand. If it's still ongoing, then maybe it could be okay. Tempodivalse [talk]  00:55, 8 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, it has settled down a bit, but I repeat, I would have moved it for review long time ago if Jimbo could have ever replied me. --Diego Grez return fire 02:34, 8 June 2010 (UTC)

 * Is there any way this could become unstale? I'd hate to lose this opportunity for another interview. Benny the mascot (talk) 01:46, 12 June 2010 (UTC)
 * I doubt I'll be contributing another interview if it doesn't. Gave up hours of my time, and for what? So that it can end up thrown out because Jimbo manages to delay publication long enough while waiting for his response. Adam Cuerden (talk) 15:55, 13 June 2010 (UTC)

 * "Some claims have been made that these controversies were influenced by some FOX News reports." -- Who made these claims?

Diego: My personal suggestion is that if you contact the Foundation or Mr. Harris with an interview request, give them a reasonable deadline, and if they don't respond, put it up for review with the facts you have at the time.

--InfantGorilla (talk) 10:54, 24 June 2010 (UTC)
 * But the article is still just a soapbox. Reviewing without any rebuttal is not good journalism. — μ 11:00, June 24 2010 (UTC)
 * Right. As was discussed above, Diego or another Wikinewsie need to rework the article, with at minimum statements from the Foundation, and ideally an interview. --InfantGorilla (talk) 11:16, 24 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Strong disagreement, Microchip08. Reporting facts without rebuttal is good journalism *if the so-called other side is given the opportunity to rebut*. News cannot be held hostage to one POV, nor is it biased to state "The Foundation had not responded to Wikinews requests for comment at publication." -  Amgine | t 11:36, 24 June 2010 (UTC)

I was asked to be interviewed, and gave time to this. It was held hostage by Jimbo, who promised to respond, then delayed the response until it got marked as old. PUBLISH THE DAMN THING. Add in commentary, sure, but don't hold my volunteer time hostage to people whose only purpose in not responding is to shut down discussion. Adam Cuerden (talk) 18:13, 28 June 2010 (UTC)
 * A fight in the sandbox hardly merits a featured news article. Wikinews is not a theatre of war. (You can't fight in here! This is the War Room!). Diego's judgement regarding the newsworthiness of the issue is dubious. --Brian McNeil / talk 19:17, 28 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, then, you shouldn't allow people to ask about interviews until they've run them past others. Don't blame the people your group pulled in for being upset when you bury the interviews they were begged to help with. Adam Cuerden (talk) 00:17, 29 June 2010 (UTC)
 * We ask people to neither claim they represent Wikinews, nor to promise publication. --InfantGorilla (talk) 09:37, 1 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Just passing through, but if it's been nearly a month that Diego's asked for a response from whoever is supposed to counter Adam's viewpoint, then wouldn't that be a reasonable "chance to respond"?
 * Newsworthiness seems a reasonable objection, though. --74.72.121.211 (talk) 11:25, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

Thread:Comments:Nearly 100,000 protest for closure of US military base in Japan/American troops leaving Okinawa/reply (4)

Invictus666 is an idiot whom doesn't seem to realize that "Okinawans" are Japanese. He also seems to believe that any place other than the US lives in constant poverty. A god damned aho if I ever met one. Keep your bigoted comments to yourself. And do shut up if you really don't know anything about anything.

The dude with "REMEMBER PEARL HARBOUR" is another idiot whom is trying to bring up old wounds, not realizing that the attack on pearl harbor happened more than half a century ago. Not to mention, he also doesn't realize that "HARBOUR" is spelled H-A-R-B-O-R.

And please retard, don't try to tell me you fought the Pacific War.

I would say 77 is partly right, the debate is two ways. I would say that all the gunk we shoot into the atmosphere is bad, CO2 is one of the problems.

By the way this article is not about artificial life. Rather: US Scientist highlights the uses of modifying God's creations to benefit us.

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

Baseball: Former Houston Astros pitcher José Lima dies suddenly at 37

May 23, 2010

, a former baseball pitcher for Major League Baseball's, , , , and (all in the United States) died suddenly at his Los Angeles home this morning of a. He was 37 years old. His death was confirmed by the Los Angeles Dodgers organization and his family.

Lima, who had not experienced any prior health problems that led to the heart attack, was reportedly experiencing "nightmares" the evening before he died, according to his wife Dorca Astacio. These "nightmares" eventually led to Astacio calling local paramedics for help, but Lima was declared dead upon their arrival at the couple's home this morning.

Lima was born on September 30, 1972 in Santiago, Dominican Republic. He began his major league career with the Detroit Tigers at age 22 during the 1994 season. He played with the Tigers for two more years until he was traded to the Houston Astros. Lima statistically played his best seasons with the Astros, including a 21-10 record in the 1999 season. While playing for Houston, fans coined the phrase (and chant) "Lima Time" when he was starting at pitcher.

Lima's stats declined after he was traded back to the Tigers in 2001. He played his remaining five seasons with the New York Mets, Kansas City Royals, and Los Angeles Dodgers. Lima finished his Major League career with 89 wins, 102 losses, and 980 strikeouts when he retired from the MLB in 2006. Lima continued to play baseball for teams in Korea and the Dominican Republic until 2009. He had also stated in recent interviews that he would come back to pitching in the MLB if offered.

"I'm in shock [...] He was a very happy man. A lot of people loved him. And he was a great pitcher, a competitor. I had so much fun when he threw. He enjoyed the game. I was a fan of his," said, a former teammate of Lima's and a former first base coach for the Astros. "He was a good man; he was a good friend," added Cruz.

Just a thought

Develop - In Preperation
This story should be expanded on launch date - May 27, or explain delays as may be, and more references should be added from more sources in this regards as well, so there would be a minimum of three news sources regarding the launch. Most news references are about the testing and are from March currently. (IMHO)

Nicolaus Copernicus buried again

May 24, 2010

Polish astronomer was buried for the second time yesterday, in the Catholic church of, Poland. Copernicus is considered the founder of modern astronomy, and known for declaring that the Earth revolved around the Sun, contrary to popular belief at the time.

His body was discovered and exhumed in 2005 by Polish archaeologists in a nameless tomb in the same church. After the extraction, the body was sent for testing, which confirmed it was Copernicus, who died in 1543.

His funeral was presided over by Archbishop. In his time, Copernicus was considered a heretic due to his theory, which was published shortly before his death.

He studied in the Kraków University and in the University. In his work he demonstrated, through mathematical and astronomical calculations, that the planets –including Earth– rotated around the Sun.

Talk:Nicolaus Copernicus buried again

Error in article
Contrary to what the article implies - Copernicus was never a declared heretic.

http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5jct0iiOImcZfdU4t59BC07IVRwfQD9FS5R7O0 Irish Melkite (talk) 13:49, 24 May 2010 (UTC)
 * In his times (XVI century), he was considered an heretic. --Diego Grez return fire 17:23, 24 May 2010 (UTC)

Well the sources seem to be saying different things. The Associated Press cited above is saying: Copernicus' burial in an anonymous grave in the 16th century was not linked to suspicions of heresy. When he died, his ideas were just starting to be discussed by a small group of European astronomers, astrologers and mathematicians, and the church was not yet forcefully condemning the heliocentric world view as heresy, according to Jack Repcheck, author of "Copernicus' Secret: How the Scientific Revolution Began." The full attack on those ideas came decades later when the Vatican was waging a massive defense against Martin Luther's Reformation. But BBC Mundo, cited in this article, says "un científico que en su tiempo fue considerado un hereje por su teoría revolucionaria" (a scientist who in his time was considered a heretic for his revolutionary theory). I think we should believe AP, as its report cited academic research. Benny the mascot (talk) 17:35, 24 May 2010 (UTC)

Body cemented in barrel found in Toronto harbour

May 24, 2010

Toronto, Ontario police are currently investigating human remains encapsulated in concrete from Lake Ontario. A barrel held the concrete-encased body found offshore at the Toronto waterfront. The neighbouring area is currently under development for another new city park as the harbourfront is a popular tourist destination.

Detective Justin Vander Heyden stated that the barrel holds "a victim of murder, encased in concrete", and that he has "a good idea of who's in the barrel" but conclusive information should be forthcoming by Tuesday from the coroner's office.

(OPP) are also investigating two other bodies this long weekend in May. Human remains were found in a construction area near and a body was also found near  in a roadside ditch. A firebombing at a branch in  has resulted in an urgent call for OPP re-inforcements. Ontario security has been increased in preparation for the June 26-27 at the  and the G8 summit in Huntsville and the ensuing arrival of international leaders and delegations.

'Black boxes' pulled from Air India plane wreckage

May 24, 2010

The from an   into a valley of near the southern Indian city of  Saturday, killing 158 of the 166 onboard, have been found by investigators. The was recovered late yesterday and the  was located today.

At the end of Sunday, 146 of the 158 bodies have been identified, and all have been recovered.

According to reports, the plane touched down at, overshooting the touchdown point by several thousand feet; one tire did not hit the runway at all. Sudden braking occured, the airliner's wings hit a neighboring cliff, and the plane careened into a heavily forested ravine where it burst into flames. "The plane veered off toward some trees on the side and then the cabin filled with smoke," said survivor Umer Farooq, "I got caught in some cables but managed to scramble out." "I didn't think of anything at the time. All I knew was that I had to get out and get far away from the plane. The fire was spreading fast. Behind me I could feel other people jumping out but I didn't turn back to look," said survivor Koolikkunnu Krishnan.

The black boxes record communication data, technical information such as speed, altitude, etc., as well as conversation in the airplane cockpit, which could help investigators determine why the jet crashed. "The black box has been recovered from the crash site. It is vital in finding information about key details like the last moments of the flight and whether there was any error from the pilot's side. The box will be brought to the accident lab of the Director General of Civil Aviation in the national capital where it will be opened and to find out what exactly went wrong," reported investigators. They did not clarify which box they were refering to, but both have been recovered.

The, which had departed from Dubai of the United Arab Emirates, was bound for Mangalore in the southern Indian state of Karnataka. The Bajpe airport has a "tabletop" runway which means it is set atop a hill surrounded by a deep gorge. The airport, which was constructed in 2006, has seen over 32,000 successful landings since opening. After visiting the eight survivors, Arvind Jadhav, chairman of Air India said, "My heart goes out to those who died and who lost friends and relatives."

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.

 * This came up in some discussion or other a while back. I don't think it's actually in the SG; but I too am under the impression it's usual to use single quotes in titles.  I've changed it, but will also add it to my growing list of things to look into.  --Pi zero (talk) 01:26, 11 August 2010 (UTC)

Badly Written. Inaccurate and contradictory on two accounts: they were driving back from a poetry reading at Porthcawl to Ogmore-by-Sea (where they used to have a house), not from Golders Green. Dannie Abse does not live in Glamorgan, he lives, in fact, in Golders Green. He has only visited his former house in Ogmore-by-Sea once since Joan died. This was to scatter her ashes.
