Education leaders are required to formulate strategic visions that are compelling to communities and communicate individual purposeful engagement.

Successful leaders see complex and dynamic relationships within diverse communities. This is especially important, as our world becomes one global unit. Visionary traits acquired and mastered through successful experiences in relevant positions.

Immediate are those qualities, which make leaders caring individuals, however, management and business leadership are also quintessential attributes.

A brief listing of abilities would have to include sensitivity and understanding of the diverse academic, socioeconomic, cultural, and ethnic backgrounds of those served. The leadership style has to demonstrate the abilities to facilitate shared governance within the institution and respect and inclusion of all stakeholders in the community.

Our country’s economic reality has also mandated our leaders to be able to function as external funding generators.

Cultural and ethnic diversity have become a tremendous challenge to institutions working in the areas of improvement of access, retention and eventual professional placement of students from multi-cultural, multi-ethnic, low income backgrounds.

It is well known how much ground is needed to attain equal representation in educational leadership positions. It is also well known the immense ground needed to gain in representation within the student populations in higher education. The severity of the case calls for cooperative, collaborative team building.

The lessons learned from the experiences and the reflections, which they accompany, will be valuable.

The importance of national and international networks of support must be appreciated. The work done in one institution can benefit many more institutions if the proper transference is applied.

Institutional leaders have to commit to a high degree of achievement to make substantive advances. Students must continue to raise their academic expectations and our institutions must provide the appropriate environments for that success.

It is humbling to compare time invested in careers and the outcomes achieved.

I remember very clearly thirty-two years ago, I was just starting my college career. I was part of a young group of people who received a Bank of America Future Teachers Scholarship for Agricultural Education. We outlined our educational and professional plans for the next twenty years.

There was innocent optimism present in every sentence of that written plan. That optimism still exists in my heart; however, hard and painfully earned lessons have laced them with patient realism. As I look back, I have dedicated my entire career to the same visions of equality, justice, and progress and supported these visions with excellence, academic hard work and dedication. I did become an agricultural instructor for displaced farm workers in California. These farm workers were just starting their businesses as independent family farmers. That is where some of the hardest lessons begun. Their life was difficult, economic realities were very harsh and only the strongest family units survived. Those experiences with the family farms in the California Central Valley also taught me some of the most meaningful lessons that I have learned. Sacrifice, dedication hard work and optimism have no substitutes. I also learned emotionally tangible meanings of mi gente, la causa, and  si se puede as I marched in the fields of Mendota California with Cesar Chavez. Years later, working with middle school children and high school adolescents also weaved the youthful esperanza into my fiber. I have witnessed the emotional and intellectual growth from my students in Upward Bound, countless summer institutes for EOP students, presentations to MESA students in Bakersfield, Fresno State Chicano Youth conference speeches, and hundreds of speeches delivered to mostly Latino youth in schools all over California, Utah and now Arizona. My curriculum vitae is a long road map dedicated to the improvement of educational opportunities for students of multicultural backgrounds mostly Hispanic population. I have founded and co-founded many educational organizations dedicated to assisting students succeed in college. I am a firm believer that cooperative models are essential for communities to advance economically and socially. I also know that appropriate education structures are at the heart of these models. I served four years as president-elect, president (two terms) and past-president of the Utah Coalition for the Advancement of Minorities in Higher Education, (UCAMHE). This experience was tremendously valuable in demonstrating the potential of multicultural groups working together. The demographic challenges in this state require diplomacy and assertiveness. The Native American population and the Latino groups have achieved great advances together. I dedicate my career to advancing our Hispanic educational agenda recognizing it as a very important component of our national success a democratic nation. I am enthusiastic to work in the field of education and I am very proud to administer the institutions, which have now become so vital in this nation’s future success. I believe in very high personal standards and that our self-empowerment is the key to our long-term success. As a community with a shared vision, we can advance a common agenda.

US House votes to bring troops home from Iraq

July 13, 2007 The United States House of Representatives voted 223–201 on Thursday to require that most US troops leave Iraq by April 1, 2008. The legislation requires that the withdrawal commence within the next 120 days.

A limited number of troops will be allowed to stay to train Iraqis, protect US interests and fight alleged terrorists.

The vote follows a report released by US President which found that there had been only limited progress following the deployment of troop reinforcements earlier this year. It is thought that the will now be under pressure to approve a similar timeline.

President Bush has threatened to veto the legislation as he has done twice previously. He said there would be no shift on his Iraq policy before September.

AFC Asian Cup: Thailand defeat Oman, Qatar draw with Vietnam

July 13, 2007 Qatar have drawn with co-host Vietnam 1-1 in their 2007 AFC Asian Cup Group B match, played in front of a capacity 40,000 spectators at the My Dinh National Stadium, Hanoi.

Vietnam started strongly, although failed to create any meaningful opportunities on the Qatar goal. However, their first real chance resulted in a goal after thirty-two minutes. Vietnam striker Phan Thanh Bình sent the ball towards goal from 25 yards, and the Qatar goalkeeper Mohamed Saqr had the ball slip through his hands and trickle over the line.

The score was 1-0 at half time. After the break, Qatar had most of the chances to score. Magid Mohamed hit the post with a curling shot in the sixty-second minute, and the ball was cleared away after a goal-line scramble.

Qatar then equalized on seventy-nine minutes. Striker Sebastián Quintana got his head onto the end of a deflected shot by teammate Magid, after beating Thai goalkeeper Duong Hong Son to the ball.

The Qatar team ahd a chance to take the lead after eighty-four minutes, when Quintana played a through-ball past the defence into the feet of Ali Hassan Afeef. Afeef, one-on-one with goalkeeper Hong Son, lifted his ball over the Vietnamese 'keeper only to see it hit the crossbar and land back in the field of play. Vietnam cleared the ball away and averted the danger.

The game ended 1-1, and leaves Vietnam on top of the group with four points having played two Group B games. United Arab Emirates play Japan this afternoon (UTC) in their Group B fixture.

In Group A, co-host Thailand national football team defeated Oman 2-0 at the Rajamangala National Stadium, Bangkok.

Substitute Pipat Thonkanya scored both goals, eight minutes apart, both from set-ups by fellow Thailand substitute Teeratep Winothai.

The first goal, in the seventieth minute, was a low volley from six yards out. Winothai crossed the ball low and fast from the right-hand wing, and Thonkanya was on the end of the cross to shoot it home.

Thonkanya scored again in the seventy-eighth minute, after Winothai lofted a header into his path from midfield. Running with the ball, he took one touch on his chest and then half-volleyed the ball home from the edge of the penalty area.

Thailand currently sit atop Group A on four points, with Australia to play Iraq this afternoon (UTC).

BBC apologises to Queen Elizabeth II for misrepresentation in documentary

July 13, 2007

The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) has apologised to Queen Elizabeth II and photographer, Annie Leibovitz, after a trailer for a documentary suggested she had walked out of a portrait sitting when the photographer asked her to remove her crown.

The trailer shows a clip of the photographer telling the Queen, "I think it will look better without the crown because the garter robe is so..." The Queen responded with "Less dressy! What do you think this is?" The following clip shows the Queen walking down a corridor saying, "I'm not changing anything. I've had enough dressing like this, thank you very much."

It has since been clarified that this second clip shows the Queen arriving at the sitting, not departing.

In a statement the BBC said, "In this trailer there is a sequence that implies that the Queen left a sitting prematurely. This was not the case and the actual sequence of events was mis-represented. The BBC would like to apologise to both the Queen and Annie Leibovitz for any upset this may have caused."

The BBC blamed a production error for the mistake, saying, "This assembly was never intended to be seen by the public or the press. Unfortunately, this assembly was given in error to the BBC personnel who were preparing the BBC One autumn launch tape."

The company responsible for the editing of the documentary, RDF Media, also apologized to the Queen. Michael Grade, previous controller of BBC One, blamed the mistake on "young, untrained" workers who "don't understand that the basic ethic of broadcasting in this country is trust."

Photographer, Leibowitz, commenting about the session in Vanity Fair even before the release of the trailer, said, "She doesn't really want to get dressed up any more. She just couldn't be bothered and I admired her for that."

Talk:Study links breast cancer to Western diet

This is actually misleading—the study links breast cancer to Western diets, including candy, dairy, and bread consumption, not simply "high meat consumption". The article needs to be moved. 72.8.96.166 03:50, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

Prevalance of breast cancer
The article says what the increase is in the likeliness of breast cancer. I think that this sounds potentially misleading without also saying what the actual rate of breast cancer is in each group. I suspect that the correlation isn't as impressive as the article suggests.

 * The article -conveniently- doesn't mention the incidence. However the odds ratio for those differences is 1.0-1.7 (95% CI)... --Steven Fruitsmaak (Reply) 22:22, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

Perhaps the women with the sweet-meat diet have a higher incidence of breast cancer not because of what they did eat, but because of what they didn't eat - the sprouts/mung beans etc are Nitrilosidic foods - the list of these foods includes:

alfalfa sprouts, bamboo shoots, mung bean sprouts barley, buckwheat, maize, millet blackberries, currants, cassava, cranberries, gooseberries loganberries, quince, raspberries, strawberries, yams brown rice, fava beans, lentils and many pulses like kidney beans, lima beans and field beans flax seed, linseed pecans, macadamia nuts, cashews, walnuts watercress, sweet potato almonds and the seeds of lemons, limes, cherries, apples, apricots, prunes, plums and pears.

As a global population we eat less and less of these foods - interesting to note though that while rates of cancer incidence in Africa are increasing (partly due to tobacco use increases) cancer accounts for a far lower percentage of deaths than in developed country - and interestingly the traditional african diet is higher in maize, millet, cassava, yams, sweet potato, pulses generally and certain nuts. So perhaps it is not the food they are adding to their diets that are causing increasing rates but the foods they stop eating. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 218.103.195.27 (talk) 02:00, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Network Rail employee arrested in connection with Cumbrian train crash

July 13, 2007 An employee of Network Rail, the company that owns and maintains the British railway infrastructure, has been arrested in connection with the Grayrigg derailment in Cumbria, in the north of England, which left one passenger dead in February of this year.

The Virgin Pendolino service from London to Glasgow derailed at 20:15 GMT on February 23 as it passed over a set of points which an interim report by the Rail Accident Investigation Branch found were missing components and were in a poor condition.

A spokesman for the British Transport Police said that the 46-year-old man from Preston was arrested on Wednesday and has been released on police bail until October 31.

Network Rail were unable to comment on the arrest.

Pamplona's famous "running of the bulls" in pictures

July 13, 2007

The nine day San Fermín festival, commonly known as the running of the bulls (or "el encierro" in Spanish) in Pamplona, Spain, is the most famous of all such events.

Like every year, several revelers are gored, both locals and tourists. Some 800 000 tourists were estimated to have come to Pamplona last weekend. On Thursday, 13 people were admitted to the hospital, seven of whom were gored. Three of the latter had to have surgery.

A 48-year-old man from Pamplona was in a critical condition after being gored in the chest. Other serious incidents involved a Mexican and a German man in their twenties. Runners from Poland, Norway, Spain and the United States also sustained injuries.

Thursday's run lasted six minutes, where a normal run is only two minutes long. Normally, the pack of bulls stays together, but in this run they separated, which is more dangerous for the runners. Since 1924, there have been 13 fatalities, the last of whom was an American in 1995.

The 825 metre run garnered international fame after Ernest Hemingway described the running in his 1926 book The Sun Also Rises. The end of the run is the bullring where the matadors will deal with the bulls.

Animal rights activists protest the bull-running because they believe the tradition is cruel to the animals. Tomorrow, the eighth and final run will be held, at 8:00 a.m. CEST (UTC+2).

Christian protesters try to disrupt first Hindu prayer in US Senate

July 13, 2007

A Hindu prayer was used as the opening prayer in the United States Senate for the first time Thursday. The prayer was given by Chaplain Rajan Zed. Proceedings were disrupted by three Christian protesters in the visitors gallery who shouted that there is "No Lord but Jesus Christ", adding insults and calling the Hindu prayer an "abomination." The three people involved in the incident were arrested thereafter. Under the direction of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, the prayer for the Senate has been given by a variety of religions of late, although the prayer is still often given by a chaplain of a Christian denomination.

, speaking for, a advocacy group, said that the incident demonstrated the intolerance of the Christian right and that "I don't think the Senate should open with prayers, but if it's going to happen, the invocations ought to reflect the diversity of the American people."

Zed had wanted to read the prayers in Sanskrit but did so in English instead at the direction of the Senate Chaplain Office.

Later reports stated that the three protesters, Ante Pavkovic, Katherine Pavkovic and their daughter Christan Sugar Pavkovic, were affiliated with the, a conservative Christian organization which had previously attempted to block the prayer from occurring although other reports connected them with the smaller , a Christian organization based in Dallas.

The protesters were released after being charged.

International media mogul Conrad Black convicted of fraud

July 13, 2007

International media mogul Conrad Black has been found guilty by the US District Court for the Northern District of Illinois in Chicago, Illinois on three charges of mail fraud and one of obstruction of justice. However, the jury did clear him of the rest of the charges. Black faces a maximum of 35 years in prison and a US$1 million fine at his sentencing, which is scheduled for November.

He was found not guilty of nine other charges including racketeering, misuse of corporate perks and tax evasion. The 13 charges were based on allegations that Black defrauded investors in his company, Chicago-based Hollinger International (now known as Sun-Times Media Group). He was accused of stealing around US$60 million from the company.

David Radler, who was the second-highest ranking officer at Hollinger at the time of the crimes, testified against Black, after admitting fraud himself. Radler testified before the court and jury, that Conrad Black had concocted a scheme where executives of Hollinger could pocket payments when selling small local newspapers that Hollinger owned, in exchange for non-compete agreements.

Black's three co-defendants and former associates (Jack Boultbee, Peter Atkinson and Mark Kipnis) were all found guilty of several counts of mail fraud.

"We think the verdict vindicates the serious public interest in making sure that when insiders in a corporation deal with money entrusted to them by the shareholders, that they not engage in self-dealing, that they not break the law to benefit themselves instead of the shareholders," said U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald, who prosecuted the case.

"We intend to appeal and there are viable legal issues. We vehemently disagree with the government's position on sentencing," said Edward Greenspan, Conrad Black's attorney. "We believe, based on the conviction of the charges here, that the sentences for this type of offence are far less than what the government suggested."

"It only takes one fraud charge and the man is disgraced and finished," said Joshua Rozenberg, legal editor of Daily Telegraph, which was once owned by Hollinger International. "He is clearly facing a lengthy prison sentence."

Black was released, pending his appeal, on a US$20 million bond. He agreed to remain in the Chicago area for at least one week. Judge Amy St. Eve confiscated his passport.

Conrad Black renounced his Canadian citizenship in 2001, to become a life peer as Baron Black of Crossharbour. He is technically a United Kingdom citizen, as he is a British Lord. Even without his Canadian citizenship, Black continues to enjoy the privileges of membership in the Queen's Privy Council for Canada which Brian Mulroney gave him in 1992 which includes the use of a special diplomatic passport.

Regarding Image:Tourdefrance.png
Hi, could you provide the source of this image please. Thanks. Adambro 17:40, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

Tour de France: Yellow jersey Rasmussen withdrawn
What a development! You scooped me on that one. I was still updating the story on the race itself when suddenly that popped up. Millar is right, cycling has a long tough road ahead to regain legitimacy. ''Så du snakker dansk? Det vidste jeg ikke. --SVTCobra'' 21:58, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

 * I saw a one-sentence (ten-eleven) words on the DR-page and couldn't believe it. Cycling is definitely in deep sh@# now. Sad, really. AB-me 22:06, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

 * But I must say that they are cracking down so hard now, that cyclists have begin to believe that they can't get away with it. And the way it hurts their team-mates has to be a motivation to stop, too. I guess Rabobank hasn't withdrawn the team, but Cofidis and Astana are both gone.--SVTCobra 22:09, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

 * Jeg havde håbet på en ny dansk mester, nu da Bjarne Riis indrømmede at han snød. --SVTCobra 22:11, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

 * I think there has to be a major (like MAJOR-major) point for the riders to wake up - but maybe this could be it. Tror jeg mere eller mindre alle danskere havde - der kommer ekstranyheder på TV2 nu, forresten. AB-me 22:14, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

Tour de France: Tom Boonen wins stage 6

July 13, 2007 Tom Boonen of Belgium has won stage 6 of the Tour de France, after beating Spaniard Oscar Freire in a sprint by a bike length.

British rider Bradley Wiggins tried his luck on a solo-effort from the 2 km-mark, but after reaching a maximum gap of 17½ minute at km 57, the pack reeled him with less than ten kilometres to go.

Fabian Cancellara of Switzerland remains the overall race leader, stage winner Boonen conquered the green point jersey, and Sylvain Chavanel keeps the polka dotted mountain jersey.

Injured teammates Alexandre Vinokourov and Andreas Klöden both finished the stage near the back of the peloton.

Talk:International media mogul Conrad Black convicted of fraud

Upon entering the House of Lords, Conrad Black revoked his status as a Canadian citizen. So, the title of this article is not accurate.

Party video game banned in UK for having offensive word

July 13, 2007 Employees of British video game retailer GAME are reporting an email sent around stores to remove the popular Wii board party game Mario Party 8 and all applicable advertising due to the game having a word considered to be offensive in Britain.

The word is "spastic," and can be seen on the "Shy Guy's Perplex Express" board. If a player lands on one of several certain green spaces, Magikoopa will appear and, before rearranging the train cars, will say, "Magikoopa magic! Turn the train spastic Make this ticket tragic!"

Nintendo is currently developing an updated version of the game without the offending word.

This is not the first time a video game has been banned in the UK for including the word "spastic." Last month, Ubisoft announced a recall of its PSP brain-training game Mind Quiz after a mother of a child with cerebral palsy complained because the game called her a "spastic" for not doing well.

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 ShadowHero10. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name ShadowHero10~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 23:29, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

International Festival of Cinema "Oberá en cortos" begins

After the success obtained last year, the second edition of the International Festival of Cinema Oberá en Cortos began at Oberá's theatre last Tuesday 10th. Local and provincial authorities and the vice rector of the National University of Misiones, Aldo Montini, were present at the inaugural ceremony.

"This festival is earning a place, not only in the province, but in the region as an important event for the Regional Cultural Association Argentina - Paraguay" said Jorge Betaglio, secretary of tourism of the Misiones province.

Oberá en Cortos is an international competition for short format films and video. It takes place between the 10th and 15th of July of this year. The movies will be shown for six days in the Oberá's theatre, the Ex-secadero Barbaro, the San Martín square and the Parque de las Naciones. In addition, different mobile cinemas will cross the province, to show the movies in more than fifteen municipalities to people who cannot come to the city of Oberá.

"This is an area we still have to keep on building, that has to do with working on the production of cultural sense and reflecting our identities," said Axel Monsú, one of the organizers of the event.

The first night, the Murga del Monte, a group of filmmakers made up of the community members, was there to show No lejos del Río de la Plata. This is a movie, filmed in the centre of Misiones in 1991, that reports the life of the Swedish immigrants upon their arrival to these lands.

The festival is organized by the Productora de la Tierra, a cooperative of communication and is supported by the Subsecretary of Tourism of Misiones. In addition, different workshops are carried out in two facilities of the city.

Two teenagers charged in alleged school attack plot

July 14, 2007 Two Long Island, New York teenagers, aged 15 and 17, have been charged for their alleged involvement in a suspected plot to attack their school next April, on the ninth anniversary of the Columbine High School shooting massacre.

The plot was uncovered when the 15-year-old suspect lost his journal at the McDonalds restaurant where he worked. The journal was found by a fellow classmate of the teenagers' school, who quickly turned it over to school officials.

The journal is alleged to have outlined the teenagers' plan to attack the school with guns and home-made bombs. The 15-year-old suspect's home and computers were searched and evidence was collected, which revealed that he allegedly tried to purchase black powder explosives and machine guns over the Internet.

A video was also found in which the same teenager allegedly names some students and staff he would like to attack at the school. The 17-year-old was allegedly planning to aid in the attack on the school.

The two teens were arrested and held in Long Island jail on misdemeanor conspiracy, which is punishable by up to one year in prison. The 15-year-old will appear in juvenile court on Friday and the 17-year-old suspect is expected to plead not guilty at a hearing.

Argentine Supreme Court declares Riveros pardon unconstitutional

July 13, 2007

The Supreme Court of Argentina today ruled that a decree issued by the Argentine ex-president Carlos Saúl Menem was unconstitutional. The decree pardoned military general Santiago Omar Riveros, charged for crimes against humanity which were committed during the "Guerra Sucia", a military rule (1976-1983) in Argentina.

The members of the Supreme Court of Justice decided by a majority of four votes the revoke of the pardon towards Riveros. The votes were as follows:

 * Support
 * Ricardo Lorenzetti
 * Juan Carlos Maqueda
 * Eugenio Zaffaroni
 * Elena Highton

 * Oppose
 * Carlos Fayt
 * Carmen Argibay

 * Abstain
 * Enrique Petracchi

The Supreme Court thus retracted the pardon towards Riveros. The ruling also left an open door for the cases of other pardoned generals, such as Jorge Videla and Eduardo Massera.

"Crimes against humanity, because of their seriousness in nature, are not only contrary to the Constitución Nacional, but as well to the entire international community," the Supreme Court ruled. Nearly 30,000 disappeared in the Argentina military dictatiorship.

Creationist who threatened biologists threatened others at university

July 14, 2007 The Young Earth Creationist who sent threatening emails and letters to biologists at the University of Colorado at Boulder also sent threatening letters to the University chancellor G.P. Peterson as well as the vice-chancellor of undergraduate education and others.

The man who had sent the threats has been identified as Menachem "Michael" Korn, a former Orthodox Jew who converted to Messianic Judaism (no longer affiliated with either) and who now self-identifies as "Christian". Claimed excerpts of the threats were posted on The Panda's Thumb, a biology blog that focuses on "the claims of the anti-evolution movement."

Among other statements, Korn compared evolutionary biologists to child molesters and discussed killing the "enemies of Christian society" who are "terrorists against America". A spokesperson for Colorado University said that the excerpts were "consistent" with the threats but refused to confirm if they were actual excerpts. Korn had apparently distributed fliers on campus before and harassed professors but over the last few days the threats had become more extreme.

Wikinews:Arbitration Committee/Elections July 2007/Skenmy Questions

This is the page dedicated for allowing anyone to ask Skenmy questions regarding his candidacy for the July 2007 Arbitration Committee elections.
 * Is the Moon made of cheese? Brian | (Talk) | New Zealand Portal 03:06, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Okay, let's think this one through. When Apollo 11 and Apollo 12 landed, they measured the "seismic velocity" of the moon. From these measurements you can estimate the density of the material. Lunar basalt comes out at 1.84 km/s - while Cheddar cheese comes out at 1.72 km/s. The increase in density is probably due to the effects of the Sun baking it rock hard - but the basic elements are still there. Then again, who on Earth can argue with this evidence (zoom all the way in)? --Skenmy(t•c•w•i) 06:37, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
 * What are your thoughts on this proposal/statement?  Daniel  05:18, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
 * While the idea has merit, I do not believe that suspension, or even abolishment, of the ArbCom is a good idea. The ArbCom not only acts as a mediation committee, it acts as a backline deterrent and encourages people to resolve issues by themselves through more conventional and civil means, rather than relying on ArbCom to resolve matters. Suspension of the ArbCom is pointless in the proposal in my opinion because it can be brought straight back - so why get rid of it in the first place? It seems like process for the sake of process, and I don't feel that is either productive or beneficial to the community as a whole. --Skenmy(t•c•w•i) 06:42, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Isn't it contradictory to list yourself for reconfirmation while trying to get elected on ArbCom? --Steven Fruitsmaak (Reply) 22:49, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I don't believe so. ArbCom and sysop are two totally separate areas of serving the community, and I don't believe that my running for reconfirmation of my sysop powers should have any impact on my ArbCom election running. Unless I am misunderstanding your question, in which case please re-iterate :) --Skenmy(t•c•w•i) 08:55, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
 * You felt you weren't devoting enough time to the project, but now you're running for ArbCom? Will your availability change? --Steven Fruitsmaak (Reply) 17:07, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Very good question. I feel that, and hope that others understand that, if I am called upon to hear an ArbCom case, I will be there and devote as much time as is required to solve the case - not taking into account any exceptional circumstances. My devotion focuses especially on articles, of which I have written very few as of late, instead doing other random tasks, such as the new weatehr service, ArchiveBot, and other bits and bobs. --Skenmy(t•c•w•i) 19:27, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Is it a sign of your trust in the community, that you are running a reconfirm at the same time? Brian | (Talk) | New Zealand Portal 02:45, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
 * My reconfirmation is to assure myself that I have the trust of the community still. ArbCom also requires a certain level of trust, and I hope that there will not come a time when I feel I have lost that trust, either through wrongdoing or misuse of my powers as a sysop, or my "authority" (for want of a better word) during ArbCom cases.--Skenmy(t•c•w•i) 08:55, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

Wikinews:Arbitration Committee/Elections July 2007/Terinjokes Questions

'This is the page dedicated for allowing anyone to ask Terinjokes questions regarding his candidacy for the July 2007 Arbitration Committee elections.
 * Is the Moon made of cheese? Brian | (Talk) | New Zealand Portal 03:06, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
 * This is a very hard, and important, question indeed. The scientific side of me says "of course not, the moon is made of leftovers from the creation of the universe". The scholar side would cross-reference many sources, and verify the scientific deduction. My inner child would remember an old nusery rhyme, and would appeal the scientific answer, as the cow ate the cheese of the moon. My alterego would reference Google Moon and confirm it is infact, made of cheese. (An alternative answer to this "important" question would be to use the long forgotten Wikinews Polls and ask the community.) terinjokes | Talk 05:11, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

 * What are your thoughts on this proposal/statement?  Daniel  05:18, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
 * l'm going to have to disagree with MessedRocker's proposel as transcripted there. If ArbCom hasn't been used in a while, it's a good thing; it means the community has figured out ways to work out problems. ArbCom is a place to peaceful solve "problems" (i don't like calling them problems, but can't think of a better term) that can't be resolved through the usual methods. I believe that we should have a patiently-waiting, idle ArbCom over an ArbCom that is "suspended". terinjokes | Talk 15:28, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Disputes among community members? Thunderhead - (talk) 15:30, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
 * "Problems" would be better if replaced with "Disputes among community members" or simply "disputes". terinjokes | Talk 15:47, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

 * How would you describe your own activities on Wikinews? --Steven Fruitsmaak (Reply) 22:29, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

AFC Asian Cup: Iraq shock Australia, Japan overcome UAE

July 14, 2007

Iraq has defeated Australia 3-1 in their 2007 AFC Asian Cup Group A match at the Rajamangala Stadium, Bangkok, Thailand.

Iraq took the lead after twenty-three minutes when midfielder Nashat Akram scored. He curled in a free kick from around thirty yards out, and Salih al Sadwn rushed towards Australian goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer. Al Sadwn's presence sufficiently distracted Schwarzer, who dived the wrong way.

The score remained at 1-0 until half time. Two minutes after the break, Australia equalised through striker Mark Viduka. The Australian captain managed to head a curling cross by midfielder Brett Emerton back across Iraqi Noor Hassan's goal and into the top corner.

However, Iraq scored twice to win the match, the former through a defensive error by Australia. Hawar Mulla Mohammed was played through with a lovely ball from a teammate, who had attracted the Australian central defence out-of-position. Mohammed slotted the ball home from 15 yards to re-take the lead.

Iraq sealed the three Group A points when Karrar Jassim Mohammed scored in the eighty-sixth minute. He managed to get on the end of a deflected shot and calmly tap the ball into an empty net, after goalkeeper Schwarzer had dived to defend the initial shot.

The win puts Iraq on equal-top of the group with hosts Thailand. If Iraq defeats or draws with Oman in their final Group A encounter, they will progress through to the quarter-final stage. Australia must defeat Thailand to remain any chance of progressing through to the next stage.

In the event that Australia win (ie. are on four points) and Iraq win or draw (ie. are on seven or five points), Australia will progress through to the next stage on head-to-head rather than Thailand despite having a possibly-worse goal difference. Goal difference (goals for minus goals against) is only used to separate two teams if they drew in their head-to-head match in the group stage.

If Iraq lose to Oman and Australia win, all four teams will end up on four points. It is unclear how the head-to-head rule will be applied by the AFC in this situation, and it is probable that goal difference will be used.

In Group B, Japan defeated United Arab Emirates 3-1 at the My Dinh National Stadium, Hanoi, Vietnam.

Defending champions Japan took the lead when Naohiro Takahara scored after twenty-two minutes. Takahara doubled their advantage five minutes later when he sent a lovely volley into the right-hand side of the net after twenty-seven minutes, leaving Emirates goalkeeper Majed Maqdemi stranded.

Shunsuke Nakamura made it 3-0 before half time when he converted a penalty kick awarded to Japan on forty-two minutes. The Emirates scored a goal after sixty-six minutes through Saeed Alkas, but no comeback eventuated and the final score was 3-1 top Japan.

It leaves Japan equal on top of the Group B table with Vietnam on two points, with the teams locked on four points each. The winner of the match will take top spot in the group. In the event that the Japan-Vietnam match is drawn, both teams have a goal difference of +2. However, Japan have scored one more goal than Vietnam, and will take top spot in the group on that basis.

Qatar, the other team in Group B, must win against UAE and hope for a winner in the Japan-Vietnam match to progress, or else defeat the Emirates by three goals or more. Qatar drew both matches with Japan and Vietnam, meaning it will come down to goal difference if two sides are equal on four points. The UAE cannot reach the quarter-finals stage.

Man takes armoured vehicle on rampage through Western Sydney

July 14, 2007 Police have arrested and charged a 45-year-old man from Dharruk in Western Sydney after he went on a 90 minute rampage throughout Western Sydney in an armoured personnel carrier. It is believed that the APC was privately-owned and was recently restored.

The man gained attention of the police shortly after 2 a.m. AEST when he was spotted destroying an electricity substation in Minchinbury. The man then led police on a rampage through Mt Druitt, Dharruk, Emerton, Glendenning and Plumpton where he brought down six mobile phone towers and relay sheds.

The rampage ended in Dean Park after the APC stalled as it was being driven towards another mobile phone tower. Police moved in and arrested the vehicle's driver.

Chief Inspector Guy Haberly from Mount Druitt Police said the man destroyed mobile phone towers by "crashing through the perimeter fence and colliding with structures causing significant damage".

The man was reportedly charged with breaking, entering and stealing; predatory driving; six counts of malicious damage; possession of a prohibited drug; use of a weapon to avoid apprehension and driving in a dangerous manner. Police refused the man bail.

Rural New Zealand crash leaves one child dead

A 12-year-old girl has died after the car they were travelling in slipped on ice and rolled off the side of the road near Darfield, Canterbury.

A Westpac Rescue Helicopter was also at the scene to offer services and help. Two were taken to hospital for a check up.

State highway 77 was closed while the scene was cleared up, creating a detour along Zigzag road. It reopened at 5.00 p.m. (NZST).

Australian police charge Indian doctor over failed UK bombings

July 14, 2007

Indian doctor Mohammed Haneef has been formally charged in Brisbane by the Australian Federal Police after being held without charge for the past 12 days in connection with the failed Glasgow Airport and London car bombings.

Dr Haneef, a distant cousin of Kafeel and Sabeel Ahmed who are accused of plotting the attacks provided Sabeel with a SIM card. It is alleged that UK police found the card in the possession of Mr Ahmed when he was arrested and informed Australian authorities.

During a bail hearing, the AFP claimed that Haneef had given his SIM card to the Ahmed brothers when he left the UK in July, 2006. It is alleged that he also shared a house in Liverpool with his cousins for up to 2 two years before moving to Australia. Police opposed bail for Dr Haneef, however the magistrate has reserved her decision until Monday due to the large amount of paperwork involved in the case. Dr Haneef remains in custody.

Speaking at a news conference in Canberra, AFP Chief Mick Keelty told reporters that Haneef had been reckless in giving his cousins a SIM Card. He further claimed that the "allegation involves recklessness rather than intention".

Dr Haneef was arrested on July 2 at Brisbane International Airport where it is alleged that he was trying to leave Australia for India on a one-way ticket. He claims that he was going to visit his wife and newborn daughter although police have openly stated they do not accept Haneef's explanation. Up until his arrest, Dr Haneef had been working at the Gold Coast Hospital.

Under Australian counter-terrorism laws, Dr Haneef faces a maximum penalty of 15 years imprisonment if convicted.

The United States Senate has voted to double the bounty placed on the capture or death of alleged al Qaeda mastermind Osama bin Laden.

The Senate approved the bounty increase, which now sits at US$50 million, by an 87-1 vote on Friday.

It follows a series of reports which suggest that the group of terrorists behind the September 11 that hit New York and Washington were rebuilding its capacity to execute terrorist plots.

UN: New leads in Hariri murder investigation
A United Nations report has indicated that investigations into the death of former Prime Minister of Lebanon, Rafiq Hariri, have identified a number of possible suspects.

Hariri was assassinated on February 14, 2005. Explosives equivalent to approximately 300 kg of TNT were detonated as his motorcade drove past the St George Hotel in the Lebanese capital, Beirut.

The UN team, which is headed by Belgian prosecutor Serge Brammertz, also said in its' report that the deteriorating political situation in Lebanon is likely to adversly effect the investigation as safety and other issues require extra attention.

Reports: Bomb threats close 14 supermarkets in UK

July 14, 2007 Authorities have closed at least 14 Tesco supermarkets located in Lancashire, Suffolk, Dyfed Powys, Fife, Leicestershire, Humberside, West Mercia, West Yorkshire, Nottinghamshire, Strathclyde and London in the United Kingdom after receiving a security alert.

Witnesses say that authorities received a bomb threat and that the stores' car parks have been blocked off by police.

"Police came and told us it had received a bomb threat. They suggested we may want to close, but our manager has kept us open," said an unnamed worker at a shop near a Tesco in Barrhead, East Renfrewshire.

"Police are investigating a series of incidents in a number of locations across the country involving Tesco stores. Tesco is working with the police following a series of incidents. These stores have been temporarily closed as a precaution for public safety," said a police officer with the Hertfordshire police department. The police are treating their enquiries as a "criminal investigation."

It is not known why the shops were closed, but authorities have stated that a matter of public safety caused authorities to close the stores. No injuries are reported and police say they will remain at the stores until further notice.

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

Fast evolution observed in butterflies

July 14, 2007 Scientists reported that they had documented very fast evolution in the butterfly species Hypolimnas bolina. After infection by Wolbachia, the fraction of the population that was male dropped drastically to about one percent of the total population. However, after approximately ten generations (about a year) the male population had rebounded to about 39 percent of the overall population.

In the case of H. bolina, infected females were unable to have male offspring since the male embryos died early on. However, a gene arose which suppressed Wolbachia's ability to kill the male offspring, and this gene spread rapidly through the natural H. bolina population.

At this time, it is unknown if the novel gene was a mutation or a pre-existing gene. However, researchers said that regardless, the findings constituted strong evidence that parasites can drive and substantially alter evolution. The research was performed by scientists at the University of Berkeley lead by Sylvain Charlat, a post-doc at Berkeley.

Wolbachia is a bacterium that is very effective at jumping from species to species, generally infecting arthropods such as insects. Since the bacterium resides in the cytoplasm of cells, males cannot pass Wolbachia onto their offspring because sperms only pass on their nucleus with the DNA, but females can. Wolbachia has thus adapted a number of strategies, such as killing male embryos of infected females or preventing infected males from reproducing with uninfected females.

Wolbachia is dangerous to hosts because it is able to easily jump species barriers and so has little reason to restrain itself -if an infectious organism kills its host, it generally dies along with it. The bacterium is believed to be responsible for some extinction events as well as some speciation events.

2007 FIFA U20 World Cup: Austria eliminates Americans in Quarter Finals

July 14, 2007

Austria beat the United States 2-1 to advance to the Semi Finals of the 2007 FIFA U20 World Cup.

The Americans opened the scoring in the 15th minute with a cross coming off the left flank to New York Red Bull forward Josmer Altidore. Just before halftime, Rubin Okotie leveled the score at 1-1. There was no scoring second half.

With the score level at 1 goal each, the game went into extra time. After 13 minutes into the 1st extra frame and a sending off for a second yellow card, Erwin Hoffer came off the bench and scored the game winner.

Austria will play either Czech Republic or Spain in the Semi Finals

Doughnut on display in Springfield, New Zealand

July 15, 2007 An oversized delight has been erected in the small town of Springfield, Canterbury, New Zealand, as part of the 20th Century Fox massive worldwide marketing campaign for The Simpsons Movie.

The giant, pink frosted doughnut was made locally, and the locals are celebrating the fact that their town shares a name with the fictional town of Springfield in the hit Fox cartoon series.

The series screens on both TV3 and Sky 1 locally, with the movie set for release nationwide on July 26, 2007. However, the movie will not be screened locally, with residents having to travel to Christchurch to watch the movie.

Springfield Township Committee chairman William Townshend says not to get too excited about the piece as it only has a resource consent that allows it to be erected for two months. He also said those hoping for a piece would be disappointed. "It is definitely not edible."

Ainslie Burton, spokesperson for the visitor information centre, says the doughnut will be hard to miss.

An estimated 3,000 people attended today's unveiling at midday (NZST), Springfield's 2001 population was 219.
