Talk:U.S. jury decision moves Moussaoui closer to execution

Reporting content
The statement, "deciding that his lies to FBI agents led directly to at least one death " needs some explanation/context. -Edbrown05 06:08, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

 * What lies? -Edbrown05 07:02, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

 * This story is flowing good. But what "lies" should maybe be answered in the 2nd paragraph, or almost immediately. -Edbrown05 07:07, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

This story was lost without "intruction creep"
I don't know who removed what was a basic template to provide new contributors, who are unfamiliar with the software, a sound framework to begin a new story. Intruction creep, not. Helpful creep, yes. -Edbrown05 06:24, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

Is this a misspelling? I have no idea what you are talking about. In addition, if there is a template that provides a sound framework for new users, could you indicate how to locate it or how to invoke it? TIA MartinGugino 06:31, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

2nd paragraph
Something is good in that paragraph with Ramzi Binalshibh reference, but I don't know enough on that aspect of the story to write it. Hoping someone else will finish and publish this. -Edbrown05 05:30, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

Title Change
This title accepts the US media/justice dept.'s Orwellian term "eligible for execution". These bizarre mixed message terms (eligible being usually a good thing and execution being usually a bad thing) are simply weird if nothing else; but more importantly remind me of stuff like the Taliban's "ministry of Truth and virtue". We may have to employ these Orwellian terms when they are official titles; as in "the patriot act" or "office of homeland security" or "ministry of truth and virtue" but I'd rather not use them when we don't have to. This is going to be the first killing of someone in the US for telling a lie. A lie that resulted in the deaths of far fewer innocent civilians than other lies ("We know he has weapons of mass destruction" ; "Saddam has been seeking sources of Uranium in Niger") for which there will be no punishment at all; and to incorporate words like "eligible" into reporting an upcoming state sponsored murder(imo), is truly nauseous (also imo). Neutralizer 12:32, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
 * But that is what the jury decided. He is eligible. Maybe they (the jury) could have used something different, but that is what they ruled/decided. Jason Safoutin 12:37, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

 * I like how you wait for someone to comment before making the change. Why bother to have commented at all? Jason Safoutin 12:38, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment; Jason, did not see your comment; I was on article page; please don't assume I ignored you. Neutralizer 17:51, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
 * I was referring to you...why bother to have commented at all if you were going to make your changes anyways? I agree with Lyellin. See below. Jason Safoutin 21:38, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

 * Agree with Jason - that is exactly what the court decided - that Moussaoui was eligible for the death penalty. There is no Orwellian term here - some cases are not death penalty cases and some are, and some a jury needs to decided if they are. This is one of those cases where the jury had to decide. I have NO clue where you are coming from Neut. Lyellin 13:21, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

 * I saw the jury verdict live on tv. They never used the word "eligible" and in fact in the specific verdicts they reached, execution was not even mentioned at all. The U.S. media is now using the term, but the jury never said execution nor eligible. The term "eligible" has no relation to the facts nor the verdict and is,imo, a silly use of the word. Are we all "eligible" to get cancer just because we could get cancer? It's a really stupid use of the word, imo, and only could be thought up by government air-heads who use terms like " suspected foreign fighter sympathizer"; but if the community wants to parrot that type of sanitizing terminology and does not agree with my opinion that it is a laughable, anglo/american centric and childish application of English, then I will not be able to stop the community from doing so; but I'll never agree that "eligible for execution" is anything other than manipulative bullshit.

 * Suggestion; What about; "Jury verdict establishes a legal justification for Moussaoui's execution"? Neutralizer 17:45, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

 * Well, that is mature. If you read what the jury was expressly asked to rule on, and did (can be found at Courttv.com, the exact document used), the jury ruled on whether he was 18, whether he had lied to investigators, and whether his actions may have resulted in at least one death. These were all conditions of the counts that he was being tried on. Under these conditions, since the Jury answered yes to all of them, he is eligible, able to be charged, whatever you want with the death penalty. This is not some "government thought up" - it's not POV at all, it's not a childish use of English. It's not BS either - it's a use of the word as it's intended to be used . Wiktionary defines eligible as "meeting the conditions", which is, in this case, exactly what happened. Execution wasn't mentioned - but the rulings made allow for execution, that's why they were being made. The 18 year old clause, the resulting in death clause are all things that are needed in order to ask for the death penalty in a case - in essence, seeing if the person has "Met the conditions" or is "eligible" to be charged with the death penalty. This has nothing to do with the fabled anglo/american bias... it has everything to do with the law. Lyellin 18:00, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

 * Also, this could have been a lot more peaceful if you raise the objection, make suggestions, get community agreement, THEN change the title, as opposed to objecting and then immediately changing. Lyellin 18:00, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
 * I agree, which is why I will not comment further on this matter, as IMO it seems Neut thinks his decision rules over others. Jason Safoutin 21:38, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

the meaning of "is" again: plane is a weapon of mass destruction
Also vaguely Orwellian is the notion that a plane is dual use technology; ie, it could be WMD. I assume then that a missle *IS* a WMD, if a plane is a WMD when used as a missle. We do know that Saddam did have planes, so he did have WMD after all. smirk. I am (sort of) sorry. I know this comment does not belong on the discussion page, except that I sympathize with the first guy in a way, and I did correct all the spelling errors. MartinGugino 06:52, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
 * However; the judge in this case ruled that a plane used as a missile, is a weapon of mass destruction. But, it does not bother me one way or the other :) Jason Safoutin 10:44, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

 * Hi Jason. I don't understand how what you said is a reply to what I said. Not that you have to reply to what I said. What I mean is, yes I know that the judge said that a plane is in this case a weapon of mass destruction, but is it true just because the judge said that? If it is, then planes are "dual use" technology. This logic would allow us to invade almost anybody we feel like invading. (I thought I was making a clever new point. Maybe I wasn't.) MartinGugino 11:44, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

 * and... the title of "the meaning of *is*" is meant to refer to Bill Clinton and the clever definitions of words that government people use to mislead and at the same time tell themselves that they are not lying. This is so like DoubleSpeak, which is an Orwellian term. Things like torture *is* organ failure, so that needles under the finger nails *is* accupuncture, and water torture *is* moisturizing. (not that these specifically have been used or called that) MartinGugino 11:53, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Death toll of Bahrain tourist boat capsizing rises to 57

Old news
Hi, can new users change facts on old news items? Often a body of facts collect and facts change time goes by and stories are confirmed.... Please send me some guidelines for practice on Wikinews. Gregorydavid 09:06, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

Usually if the facts were true at the time the story but reported incorrect, they can be edited. Often it is preferable if facts that were reported incorrectly were not available at the time, or additional information becomes available, then a new story is written. If you feel confident that the edit would have been done when the story was written (it would have been known then), feel free to make the edit. If you're still in doubt, report the fact here and other editors will give their opinion. Karen 01:14, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Judge throws out petition case against Patrick Murphy in PA Congressional race

Can someone please make an informative article name?
Patrick Murphy, and the petition case against Patrick Murphy are not globally famous things. To me, I thought it was someone in Ireland. Can someone either add a description word or two about the case or the judge or patrick to the title?

Yeah bit more detail here. Who are any of these people?

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 Dangerhertz. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Dangerhertz~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 23:15, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Northecon. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Northecon~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 23:22, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Third of Thais vote 'none of the above'

Is there a source for the paragraph about bomb blasts and injuries? —67.21.48.122 13:12, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
 * See Related news April 2, if you need a source on this article I'll get one in a couple of hours when I finish work. --Brian McNeil / talk 14:18, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

 * Thanks. I copied the source to this article.

I think the "Brewster's Millions" reference is only slightly amusing, and add little to the article. --80.172.138.170 14:04, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

 * The explanation
 * "(Thai Rak Thai means, literally, "Thais Love Thais".)"
 * was removed by a subsequent edit. However, it served a valuable purpose. Only a small fraction of English-speaking readers will know the significance of the name Thai Rak Thai, and few of the others will bother to follow the link to the Wikipedia article given earlier in the article. That Wikipedia page is principally about the party, not just about the name. In distinction, the explanation which was removed linked to the Talk page, a major portion of which is devoted to the meaning of the name.

 * Because the meaning of the name is a significant clue to the nature of the party and to the overall national political context in Thailand, the explanation was a helpful addition and did not deserve to be removed.
 * —67.21.48.122 16:26, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

 * Thai Rak Thai is a populist party, so I'd agree that the definition is useful, although I might introduce it otherwise. Please work on the new Thaksin resignation article in development, there is a *lot* of background material to go through. --Brian McNeil / talk 17:52, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

Iran tests its second missile

April 4, 2006

Iran has successfully tested the Kowsar land-to-sea missile, and a "flying boat", Iran state media report.

According to the country's state television service, "A super-modern flying boat was successfully tested in the 'Great Prophet' war game in Persian Gulf waters. Because of its hull's advanced design, no radar at sea or in the air can locate it. It can lift out of the water. It is wholly domestically built and can launch missiles with precise targeting while moving."

Iran says that the Kowser missile can be used to sink enemy ships in the Gulf. Iran also announced that the missile's onboard systems could not be scrambled by enemy action.

Brian Whitman, a spokesman for the Pentagon in the United States, said, "We know that the Iranians are always trying to improve their weapons system by both foreign and indigenous measures. It's possible that they are increasing their capability and making strides in radar-absorbing materials and technology. [However] the Iranians have also been known to boast and exaggerate [in] their statements about greater technical and tactical capabilities."

On Friday, Iran tested its Fajr-3 missile, which Iran says can evade radar and can carry many warheads. On Monday, Iran tested in the Straits of Hormuz a torpedo that the country claims can evade sonar.

It is estimated that at least 1500 ships and aircraft, and at least 17,000 Iranian Revolutionary Guard troops, are participating in a week-long war games exercise in the Gulf.

User:Ironiridis/Opinionations

I've established that I have some opinions about things. I figured I should start laying them out, since other users have done the same. Here comes my bias!

Wikinews

 * I oppose the usage of NPOV as a weapon.
 * Several users claim a violation of NPOV when their point of view is not given complete control of an article or policy. The usage of the tag and various warring on the project pages over what is and is not someone's POV is incredible. Someone need not have a valid argument to start a least a 5 day debate and prevent an article from being cleaned up and published.

 * I oppose ArbCom as a tool for circumventing community consensus.
 * I have seen users which would largely be ignored by the community bring cases to ArbCom simply to force an issue. Where the community would have simply used accepted process and proceedure, ArbCom creates this unavoidable delay, drama, and red tape. Ultimately, when a decision is reached by ArbCom, it is only a temporary measure anyway and the conclusions they reach may well be meaningless in a month. ArbCom should never be used in place of mediation. ArbCom should never be used in place of discussion. It is an absolute last resort, not a toy.

 * I oppose anti-X or pro-X crusades.
 * News articles must be written in a manner which is free from blatent bias. Users which exist solely to "eliminate bias" are biased themselves and don't understand the meaning of NPOV.

 * I support and defend the blocking of disruptive users.
 * Some users feel the need to work out aggression, unhappiness, low self-esteem and other personal problems by disrupting Wikinews. In most cases, this manifests in personal attacks on users with a high visibility on Wikinews. Some users are targetted consistently by these disruptive users.

 * I support the idea that personal attacks constitute site disruption.
 * Personal attacks create a negative atmosphere. At the very least, this makes working on Wikinews unpleasant. At the very worst, it drives away users and prohibits collaboration. From the least severe to the most, personal attacks disrupt usage of the site by making productive and positive edits less frequent. Therefore, personal attacks are site disruption and subject to admin action, specifically blocks.
 * Please note that I don't consider this the general case. Singular or retaliatory personal attacks that are not predicated by a previous pattern do not generally warrant a block. A previous history and predictable pattern of attacks, especially unprovoked attacks, weigh greatly towards administrative action. Otherwise, dispute resolution should be used instead.

 * I agree with Chiacomo regarding WN:3RR.
 * The "three revert rule" has always seemed pointless to me. It is easily circumvented, and you cannot win a war simply by reverting an article enough times. I do not believe a knee-jerk block is needed or even constructive. I believe it should be eliminated unless the reverts constitute vandalism or site disruption.

Collyer brothers to bid for Everton F.C.?

April 4, 2006

Rumours in London and Merseyside have linked Paul and Oliver Collyer, creators of the football management series Championship Manager, with a possible bid for Premiership football team Everton.

The Goodison Park club, under the chairmanship of former Coronation Street actor Bill Kenwright, were subjects of a failed takeover bid in August 2004. After suffering the blow of failing to get beyond the qualifying stage of the Champions League, Kenwright is known to have recently sought additional investments in the club.

While a move is not thought to be imminent, the recent takeover of the brothers' games development company Sports Interactive by game giant SEGA could well prove the catalyst for action by the lifelong Evertonians. The company's PR guru Miles Jacobson was forced into an official denial of the story soon after the takeover news broke on Tuesday morning. The Collyers themselves have as yet been unavailable for comment.

Thailand's Prime Minister announces resignation

April 4, 2006

Thailand's prime minister, Thaksin Shinawatra, announced his resignation in a national telecast on Tuesday, April 4, 2006. His statement included an apology to his supporters and a hope that his resignation will help heal divisions in the country — "Our house is broken and it needs to be put back together." He will not continue as prime minister when Parliament reconvenes; however, he will continue as a member of Parliament and as Thai Rak Thai (TRT) party leader. The process to select his successor will begin in the first new session of Parliament.

Only the previous day, Monday, Thaksin had expressed his intention to continue as Prime Minister, following his party's election win. The reversal came after an audience with King Bhumibol Adulyadej

[[Media:Bhumibol_Adulyadej.ogg|(pronunciation)]] (sometimes written Adulyadej Bhumibol). The King intervenes in Thai politics only on rare occasions. June, 2006 will mark 60 years as king for Bhumibol Adulyadej, the world's longest-serving head of state. "Now everyone has made their voices heard," said Thaksin. "There are 60 days left; there is no more time to argue. People coming from all over the world will wonder about all these rallies."

Although Thaksin's TRT party won the April 2nd election, the results were disappointing, with over one-third of voters choosing 'none of the above'. After the election there had been continuing calls for his resignation.

Thaksin's standdown will likely end months of calls for the dissolution of his government which has been charged by protesters of corruption and misuse of authority. In October 2005, he sued Sondhi Limthingkul's newspaper, the Phujatkarn Daily, over corruption allegations. Sondi's move to open-air shows where he detailed further corruption allegations grew into the PAD (People's Alliance for Democracy) and following the Shin Corp sale, PAD protests forced Thaksin to call a snap election.

University of Florida wins NCAA basketball championship

April 5, 2006

The Gators beat the  Bruins 73-57 in the  last night. The win gave the Gators their first  championship. The Gators, a number three seed in the tournament, spent most of the night dominating the Bruins on both offense and defense.

Joakim Noah, center for the Gators, recorded 16 points, nine rebounds, and a NCAA tournament championship game record 6 blocks. Noah said, "It's like I'm in a cloud. Not only does this feel good, but it smells good and it tastes good. I can't even describe it."

In the previous two games the Bruins allowed only a combined 90 points, but they never seemed to get organized on defense. Florida's early lead stayed throughout the game, with the Bruins unable to re-take the lead.

Joakim Noah's father was a French tennis player (now a singer) who won the  tennis tournament. His grandfather was a soccer professional. It's the first time a french basketball player has been part of a winning  championship team. He'll join on the French national basketball team.

Berlusconi in trouble over use of bad word

April 4, 2006

Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi has found himself under fire for using the word "coglioni" to describe his opponents during the run-up to the general election in Italy. Roughly translating to "idiot", "cretin", or "fool" in English, it is Italian slang for "testicles", it is as rude as the term "prick-head".

Romano Prodi, former European Union Commission President and opponent of Berlusconi, was quick to criticize his use of the term, stating, "With all the respect I have for (Berlusconi's) voters I would never use that anatomical term we heard today used about us."

Berlusconi later defended himself, stating that his comments were supposed to be "ironic" and that his opponents were manipulating what he said.

Flooding Danube threatens thousands

April 4, 2006 The Danube River, running from Germany to the Black Sea in Romania, is currently at 859 cm (28 ft 2 in) higher than its normal level in Budapest, Hungary. Climatologists are predicting that the river will crest as high as 865 cm (28' 5"). This places the crest higher than in 2002, when floods swept across all Europe.  The Danube crested at 860 cm (28' 3") high then.

According to officials, 11,000 buildings are in danger of flood damage, and 172 hectares (475 acres) of land are currently under water. Officials also placed the country under a Level 3 Alert (on a 3 level scale).

Margit Island is completely under water, with 3500 sandbags giving it protection. The riverside is no less under water, and the underground number 2 (M2) is currently in danger of being closed since one of its stations, Battyány tér, is flooded.

According to Hungarian Water engineers, a flood of this magnitude hasn't occurred since 1838 when ice coming down the river blocked the Danube, creating a natural dam which caused the water to flood everything behind it.

General elections are on Sunday in Hungary. The election is heated with MSZP and FIDESZ in a virtual dead heat with polls rating both at 45%. Other smaller parties are voicing concern about gaining a 5% toe-hold to gain a seat in Parliament. It is not yet clear how the flood will impact the final campaign.

Wikinews:Mediation alerts

In the spirit of Admin action alerts, this page is intended for "alerts" with regard to mediation requests. It is done in order to remove the "admin action" aspect of personal disputes on Wikinews. Here, you can request help as you would on WN:ALERT for harassment, bickering, and so on. These things generally do not require administrator intervention.

Note that, in the general case, it takes two to tango. Using this page does not remove your responsibility from any disputes, nor does it make you innocent of any inflamitory or aggressive comments. Usage of this page is a general admission of failed self-mediation.

'''This tool is not a weapon, and it is not an ultimate power. Your participation in a calm, reasonable, respectful manner is absolutely required for this to work.'''

Don't forget to have a nice cuppa tea when things get stressful.

Wikinews talk:Mediation alerts

Well, I'm giving it a shot. Be bold, you know, blah blah blah. If you largely disagree, and you have the button available, feel free to delete the hell out of this; I won't be offended.

As it is now, I think there are at least two spelling mistakes that I'm not willing to fix just yet. I want someone else to edit this page. :)

My motivation here should be obvious, but if it isn't: mediation between two users should never be, and should never have been, on "Admin action alerts". Admins have nothing to do with mediation, the only advantage they have over other users is the ability to remove power from someone. (either through a block, through a protected page, or through threats of the prior two.) Mediation is about empowerment; each of the users should feel respected and able to continue their work afterwards. Mediation is not about making the users feel diminished or ignored; if this occurs, mediation has failed.

At the end of the day, the entire community needs to be involved in mediation. Leaving the responsibility to only the administrators clearly overburdens the admins and drives them to actions (such as blocking) which result in additional mediations and anguish and permanent wiki-vacations.

There is no voting on this page. There are no issues that need to be voted on, ever. If a vote is needed, mediation has failed. Agreeing, disagreeing, admitting, conceeding, letting go, and getting closure are the only things that occur here. Again, no voting; this is not WN:ALERT. irid:t 00:15, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

Deletion Request

Six Papuans reported camping on Australian island

April 5, 2006

The Australian government has received reports that a family of six people from the Indonesian province of are camping on Bamboo Island in the Torres Strait. The Australian customs service is trying to verify the accuracy of the reports.

It is believed that the group consists of a union activist, his wife and four children. One of the children is believed to be two months old.

A spokesman for Australian immigration minister Amanda Vanstone said that the government were aware of the reports but that it is an operational matter and no further comment will be made.

The Australian Customs Service cannot confirm the reports and are seeking assistance from other authorities in the area. A customs spokesperson said that the area they are searching is massive with hundreds of islands, and that he was unaware of any island called Bamboo.

Father Yus Mawengkang, a priest in Papua, said the family had been transported to the island on fishing boats and hoped that they would be collected by Australian authorities. He was quoted in the Sydney Morning Herald as saying, "They cannot stay there for too long… they only have some packets of instant noodles and canned fish only to survive for a few days."

The latest group of Papuans are believed to be from the town of Merauke, the same town where 43 people left to seek political asylum in Australia two months ago. All but one of that group were granted refugee visas, sparking a diplomatic row between Australia and Indonesia.

Apple releases program to limit iPod volume

April 5, 2006

Apple has released an application that limits the volume produced from its iPod portable music players. The software update, iPod Software 1.1.1, works with the iPod Nano and the Video version. Apple released the program in response to complaints that it had not taken necessary measures to prevent hearing loss in iPod users.

In California, a class-action lawsuit was filed against Apple in January over claims of hearing loss from iPod use.

Apple's worldwide vice-president of marketing for the iPod, Greg Joswiak, indicated that this patch is available for people who want "an easy-to-use option to set their own personal volume limit." It is available for free download.

The software also has the option of being used with parental controls to prevent children from modifying the volume.

iPods sold in France already have the volume limited, as the law forbids a sound louder than 100 decibels (dB). The American Speech Language Hearing Association published a study where it appears that iPod's (and mp3 players's) power is 120 dB, comparable to a live concert. A gunshot is 140 dB.

My first attempt at a translation. I know I'm not getting the notes right...especially on the spanish language article. --Sfullenwider 02:35, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

I dislike the word application...I've always disliked it...I can't remember the current standard nontechnical term for it at the moment...maybe application is the right word...meh...--Sfullenwider 02:41, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

A better word, perhaps, would be software? --Motoma 03:43, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

Waikiki beaches reopen after sewage spill

April 4, 2006

One and a half weeks after a broken sewer line in the Waikiki district of Honolulu spilled 48 million gallons of raw sewage, health officials for the state of Hawaii removed warning signs today from Waikiki beaches after water samples taken yesterday indicated that bacterial levels had returned to normal.

The sewage spill into the Ala Wai Canal forced the closure of Waikiki beaches when bacterial levels from the spill reached hazardous levels. Officials credit improved weather and the return of trade winds for the rapid dissipation.

Beaches in nearby Ala Moana Park near the mouth of the Ala Wai Canal remain closed for the time being. Water quality at the spill site on the Ala Wai continues to improve, and the bacterial levels in the canal are expected to return to normal within a week.

The New York Rangers clinched their first playoff berth since 1997 with the 3-2 shootout victory tonight at Madison Square Garden over the Philadelphia Flyers. Michael Nylander and Martin Straka scored for the Rangers while Mike Knuble and Simon Gagne tallied for the Flyers. Rangers' goalie Kevin Weekes was first store as he stole the show and finally gained the fans' respect. However, the effort of Flyers' goalie Robert Esche can not be underestimated as he recorded 38 saves and had Jaromir Jagr's number all night. The three stars were 3. Robert Esche 2. Michael Nylander 1. Kevin Weekes. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 167.206.156.241 (talk • contribs) 06:37, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

Australian PM announces $1.8 billion mental health plan

April 5, 2006

Australian Prime Minister John Howard has announced a five year plan costing AU$1.8 billion to address issues with the country's mental health system. The plan follows a commitment made at the Council of Australian Governments (COAG) meeting in February.

The federal government will improve access to clinical and health services, increase the number of mental health professionals in Australia, create mental health work teams consisting of GPs, psychiatrists, psychologists and mental health nurses, provide respite services for people suffering mental illness and their carers, and introduce new programs for community awareness.

Mr Howard said the plan addresses issues which fall into its area of responsibility. He hopes that the states and territories will complement the federal government's package by investing in supported accommodation, hospital and emergency services, crisis care services and the provision of mental health care in gaols.

Under the federal government's plan, psychologists will play a greater role in the mental health system. From November, Patients will be able to claim a rebate from Medicare (Australia's universal healthcare scheme) for the services of psychologists if they have been referred by a GP or psychiatrist. At present patients pay around $100 for a standard 30 minute consultation.

Mr Howard claims that there is an issue for mental health professionals in treating patients with a substance abuse problem and mental illness. To address this the government will provide extra funding for drug and alcohol rehabilitation services.

The government will increase the mental health workforce by funding an additional 400 mental health nursing and 200 clinical psychology places. 900 personal helpers and mentors will also be employed.

The government has promised increase funding for telephone counselling and suicide prevention services, living skills programs and additional support for those with a mental illness who are having difficulty finding or keeping work.

The government will also provide 900 personal helpers and mentors, increase funding for living skills programs and provide additional employment assistance to those who have difficulty finding or retaining employment due to their illness.

Cats could play significant role in transmitting bird flu to humans, say Dutch researchers

April 5, 2006

According to Dutch researchers, tests performed on cats at Rotterdam's Erasmus Medical Center by Dutch show that cats could play a key role in transmitting bird flu to humans.

Reports have noted that there are increased deaths in Europe and Asia involving cats that are carrying the deadly disease and also say that cats could play a key role in allowing mutation of bird flu so it can be transmitted between humans.

"Apart from the role that cats may play in H5N1 virus transmission to other species, they may be involved in helping the virus to adapt to efficient human-to-human transmission," said researchers.

The experiments were performed on eight cats, all of which were exposed to the H5N1 virus in three different ways. In all three cases, the cats became infected. The researchers said that most domestic cats became infected with the H5N1 virus when they came in contact with wild and or domestic birds. In some cases, those cats transmitted the virus to other cats.

However, researchers said that their research was performed experimentally with infected cats and that those experiments did not show a mutation in the virus but did say that "such mutations cannot be ruled out."

Researchers have strongly suggested that cats be kept indoors, but also said that this measure would be "impossible" in some parts of the world.

Researchers also say that cats need to be included in any precautionary measures against the virus.

"We have to take a number of precautionary measures. We need to keep in mind that mammals can be infected and that they can spread the disease, in principle. The potential role of cats should be considered in official guidelines for controlling the spread of H5N1 virus," said Dr. Albert Osterhaus, of Erasmus University in Rotterdam in the Netherlands.

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 Shaymus22. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Shaymus22~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 23:30, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Robert~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 23:25, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Re: Small plane crashes into NYC highrise.
I'm very sorry, but I take very proactive measures in these cases... I don't like having multiple verisons of the same article up simultaneously. It hurts collaboration. Anyways, this contains the latest non-redirect version of the article. If there's something stated in there that isn't already stated in the more well-developed article, then merge it. —     19:48, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

Yes its breaking, yes it shocking, but it still needs to be more than a single sentence before being published. Bawolff ☺☻ 20:42, 27 November 2009 (UTC)
