Testimony by John Travolta that son was autistic raises Scientology questions

September 24, 2009

Actor John Travolta testified in an extortion case in The Bahamas on Tuesday, and admitted in court that his late son was autistic. Travolta belongs to the controversial Church of Scientology, an organization which opposes psychiatry and does not recognize autism as an affliction. Prior to the testimony, Travolta had only publicly acknowledged that his son suffered from Kawasaki syndrome.

Travolta's son Jett died in January 2009 at the age of 16 after experiencing a seizure. The ongoing extortion trial focuses on charges that attorney and Bahamian senator Pleasant Bridgewater and her client paramedic Tarrino Lightbourne requested US$25 million from Travolta in exchange for not revealing a document which stated Travolta did not wish for his son to be taken to a hospital. Travolta's son was transported to Rand Memorial hospital.

"My son was autistic and suffered from seizure disorder. Every five to ten days he suffered seizures which lasted 45 seconds to a minute," said Travolta in his court testimony. He said that after experiencing a seizure, his son would typically sleep for a period of 12 hours. The judge in the case instructed Travolta that he could be called back to testify later in the trial.

Critics have asserted that Travolta and his wife Kelly Preston, also a Scientologist, had not previously discussed their son's autism in public due to their ties to Scientology. The Times reported that Travolta's court admission of his son's autism places him in contradiction with the views of Scientology. According to The Daily Telegraph, Travolta arrived at the courthouse in The Bahamas escorted by several Scientologists.

Former Scientology minister, Bruce Hines, spoke to CBS News about the organization's beliefs regarding illness. "They believe that the only reason a person can get ill is because they are in some way connected to a suppressive person and a suppressive person is someone who is opposed to Scientology," said Hines. He also commented on why John Travolta and Kelly Preston would have kept their son's affliction hidden from the public: "It's really a big deal, so how the Travoltas dealt with this--a chronic illness in the family, I'm not sure how they would have been able to explain it."

MSNBC reported that Scientology International representative Tommy Davis denied that his organization took a position on the medical disease. "The Church of Scientology has no position on autism," said Davis. "As with any medical condition, the Church believes that these matters are best diagnosed and treated by a medical doctor. Scientologists can and do then also seek spiritual assistance."

The Citizens Commission On Human Rights (CCHR), a human rights group founded by the Church of Scientology in 1969, submitted a comment on autism to a bill before the United States Senate in 2008. The bill was SB 1563: Pervasive developmental disorders. The comment by CCHR was submitted under the heading: "Arguments in opposition", and stated "The Citizens Commission on Human Rights believes that there is no known medical treatment for autism except off-label drugs."

Wikinews reported on views of representatives of Scientology on psychiatry in February 2009. Individuals affiliated with the Church of Scientology appeared on a program called The No Drug Show, and blamed both the September 11, 2001 attacks in the United States and the attack on Pearl Harbor on psychiatrists. David Figueroa, a spokesperson for CCHR, erroneously claimed that Osama bin Laden's second in command, Ayman al-Zawahiri is a psychiatrist, as did former CCHR-International president Dennis H. Clarke. Zawahiri is actually a surgeon; he is not a psychiatrist or a psychologist.

The issue of Scientology's stance on psychiatry was brought to the forefront in the media during a 2005 appearance by Tom Cruise on NBC's program Today with Matt Lauer. At the time Cruise told Lauer he was critical of psychiatry and the use of antidepressants. In a December 2008 appearance on the Today show on a promotional tour for his film Valkyrie, Cruise told Lauer he wanted to apologize and felt he appeared arrogant in his 2005 interview.

-+++- A comment by Kewal To try and boil down such a complex topic into a simple statement can often lead to misunderstandings. It might be of interest to readers to know a little bit about Scientology. While I am not a Scientologist, I am familiar with one of their practices. Two friends and I visited the Scientology center in New York City approximately thirteen years ago. One of my friends was very unhappy in life, and I pursued the Scientology path with her. A process she was guided through regressed her back to a car accident she was involved in, several years previous to that point in time. Without going into complete details, I feel it is accurate to summarize a basic belief of Scientology as follows. Most, if not all of our chronic suffering in life comes from echoes of past unpleasant experiences that were not properly processed by the rational, logical brain. In times of trauma, a part of the brain sometimes referred to as the "reptilian brain" continues to record events without the assistance of our more advanced faculties. In such cases, many things experienced by the senses can be categorized as "painful" or "unpleasant" by the mere fact that the pain is being experienced in their presence. Scientology calls these recorded and mislabeled events "engrams", if my memory serves me. One goal of a practitioner of Scientology is to become "clear" of all engrams. At least one way of clearing these engrams is to go back in one's mind, and re-experience the event while being guided in a relaxed or perhaps hypnotic state. Each time a person reviews the trauma, describing it in first person detail, the "charge" of the event is lessened. Eventually, a person can recall the entire event while in this quasi-hypnotic state without emotion. At that point, that particular charge is cleared. If such assistance can help someone to overcome "issues" in life, without imbibing a chemical, it would seem the best path to take. It seems to me that this sort of clearing of engrams is not so different from many psychological related work that is undertaken by "professionals", some of whom also use drugs to assist in the therapy. The largest danger that I see is that many "professionals" are merely prescribing drugs without such mental therapy. I have personal experience in seeing this first hand as well. --- Kewal -+++- End of Comment by Kewal

next: comment about Kewal's comment... —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Kewal (talk • contribs)
 * Where have we seen this phrasing before similar to the third sentence in the above paragraph? Oh yes., , , , , , , , ,  ... I have heard from former members of Scientology's intelligence agency, their "Office of Special Affairs" (OSA), that this is a common tactic they use on the internet, spamming comments, etc. Cirt (talk) 03:10, 25 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Can't most internet people say that they are "familiar with [...] their [Scientology's] practices". The other part reminds me of the "Okay, I am the Messiah" scene from Life of Brian. Only a Scientologist would deny being a Scientologist.--66.110.233.67 (talk) 08:43, 26 September 2009 (UTC)

-+++- Kewals retort... (I am totally new to WikiNews) Regarding comments above. I only added that I wasn't a Scientologist so as not to offend any Scientologists in the case that I misrepresented something about their practices. And, I wanted to make certain anyone reading it realized that is was in no way "official". And as long as me "denying" something will "implicate me in the same", let me add that I have never heard of the Office of Special Affairs, and I am not paid monthly by them to spam comments regarding my belief that everyone deserves to have their say when it comes to "the unseen". The reality is that if someone were concerned about a person's beliefs... I might be considered something much worse than a Scientologist. I am a Rosicrucian. ;) - Kewal

Okaaaay. So they label the drugs as 'off label'. This is not the same as saying autism doesn't exist. Wiki, pay attention! Report correctly! State the truth!

Pub-goers across Dublin — as well as cities around the world including Kuala Lumpur,, , Hong Kong, and New York — raised their glasses in tribute to Arthur at exactly 17:59 p.m. to mark the year the drink was begun. Ireland has issued a stamp for the event.

St James' Gate Brewery had grown to become Ireland's biggest by 1833 and in 1886 had grown to the biggest in the world, producing 1.2 million barrels of black stout each year. Today, Guinness is enjoyed in 150 countries and 10 million pints are drunk every 24 hours — although Irish myth has it the brew tastes best in Dublin.

Replacement for Senator Ted Kennedy named

September 24, 2009

Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick has named former Democratic National Committee Chairman Paul Kirk to temporarily replace the late Edward "Ted" Kennedy in the US Senate.

Kirk, a longtime friend and former aide to Kennedy, is to be sworn in as senator this Friday. He will serve in the post until voters pick a permanent replacement during a special election next January.

The governor told reporters Thursday that matters before Congress and the nation are "too important for us to be one voice short" in Washington.

The appointment gives Democratic leaders in the Senate the 60th seat needed to circumvent efforts by Senate Republicans to prevent crucial votes on a health care reform bill. The late senator had called reform of the nation's health care system the cause of his life.

Kirk said he was honoured to be appointed and added that he will not run in the special election. "He [Kennedy] often said that representing the people of Massachusetts in the Senate of the United States was the highest honour that he could possibly imagine, and it is certainly nothing that I imagined, but it will be my highest honour, as well," Kirk said.

Kennedy's widow, Victoria, and his two sons, Edward Kennedy, Jr. and US Representative Patrick Kennedy of Rhode Island, both urged Governor Patrick to name Kirk.

The appointment comes one day after the Massachusetts House and Senate passed legislation allowing the governor to name an interim replacement until a special election is held. Kennedy's seat would have remained empty until the next elections, had that legislation not been approved. The rule change was one of Kennedy's last wishes.

Reaction
President Barack Obama released a statement saying, "I am pleased that Massachusetts will have its full representation in the United States Senate in the coming months, as important issues such as health care, financial reform and energy will be debated. Paul Kirk is a distinguished leader, whose long collaboration with Senator Kennedy makes him an excellent, interim choice to carry on his work until the voters make their choice in January."

Senator John Kerry, who is now the senior Senator for Massachusetts spoke at the press conference announcing Kirk's selection noted, "This is a caretaker appointment, a gentle transition, a kind of stewardship — and Paul Kirk will be a superb steward of this seat." Kerry further added, "Governor Patrick found the person for this moment and did what's in the best interests of our state."

Former Massachusetts governor and Democratic presidential candidate Michael Dukakis said of the selection, "If it had to be somebody else, believe me, this was the guy. He will hit the ground running, probably even faster than I would because he was down in Washington. He's going to be fine."

Dukakis was the preferred choice to hold the seat in the interim and was undergoing the vetting process by Patrick's administration until Kennedy's widow and sons choice of Kirk became known.

However, not all reaction was positive. The head of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, Rob Jesmer called the appointment a "power play" by Massachusetts Democrats saying in a statement, that Kirk's appointment "has nothing to do with principle, and everything to do with politics."

Large hoard of Anglo-Saxon gold found in Staffordshire, England

September 24, 2009

A large hoard of Anglo-Saxon gold has been found in a field in Staffordshire, England.

The hoard, which was found in a private field over the course of five days in July 2009, is in fact the most Anglo-Saxon gold that has ever been unearthed at one site in the United Kingdom. Roughly 1,500 gold and silver pieces were found and the hoard contains roughly 5kgs of gold and 2.5kgs of silver — far more than the previous record of 2.5kgs of gold which was found at Sutton Hoo, near Woodbridge.

The big haul in Staffordshire was found by 55-year-old Terry Herbert, while he was using a metal-detector. He had asked a local farmer's permission to search the land beforehand. Terry is unemployed, and has been in the hobby of metal-detecting for the last 18 years. He said: "People laugh at metal detectorists.

"I've had people go past and go 'beep beep, he's after pennies'. Well no, we are out there to find this kind of stuff and it is out there."

It is estimated to take over twelve months before the value of the hoard can be valued specifically. South Staffordshire Coroner Andrew Haigh declared it "treasure". That means that it belongs to the Crown. Archaeology experts have predicted that it could be worth "a seven-figure sum" and that the treasure may date back to the 7th century. The exact location where the hoard was found is currently being kept secret.

Indian lunar mission Chandrayaan finds water on moon

Monday, September 27, 2009 India's first lunar moon mission has helped  find water on the moon's surface. NASA's Moon Mineralogy Mapper (M3) on board Chandrayaan found the evidence of water molecules on the surface of the moon.

Even 40 years ago, rock samples brought to Earth by Apollo (US) and other missions led some scientists to claim that water existed on moon. But they had doubts about the findings, as the boxes in which the moon rocks were brought to earth had leaked—contaminating the samples with air from the atmosphere.

Previous U.S. space missions, and the  spacecraft, had detected slight traces of water in molecular form in the moon's polar craters. Recent studies made by Chandrayaan have found (H2O) and  (OH) molecules with silicate rock at moon's equatorial region. It is estimated that less than a teaspoon of water could be extracted out from several of lunar soil.

Forty years after first landing, some say this major discovery will trigger new interest in the moon.

Comments:US army commander in Afghanistan asks for more troops in leaked report

US Military Counter-Insurgency Mission Afghanistan – Need for More Boots on Ground

The war in Afghanistan is a ‘War of Necessity’ and the reason is that Afghanistan supplies 90% of Global Narcotics Supply and Distribution to the West that helps fund worldwide terrorism. The Strategy of where do we want to go is the elimination of Narcotics or Counter-Narcotics, which should be coupled with the current Tactics or how we are going to get there through Counter-Insurgency Warfare. Both options provide the moral justification is killing two birds with one stone – narcotics that is being used to both fund terrorism, while meeting the terrorists goals through using the drugs as a chemical of mass destruction through Narco-terrorism.

Part of the Marine Doctrine of Counter-Insurgency is the setting up Combined Action Companies is Afghanistan, the problem,  there are not enough Marines on the Ground to implement both the Strategy and Tactics that go with it. Conventional Military Thinking versus Small Unit Operations and Counter Insurgency Operations (Counter Guerrilla Warfare).

One of the key problems is that there has always been a historical lack of preparedness for constabulary operations due in part to conventional thinking and/or large unit operations which general forces are not well adapted to conduct because the role degrades conventional war capability. The ultimate objective of the above activities is to create order in an unstable situation while assisting in and encouraging the development of social organization and public attitudes conducive to long-term stability. The operative of Afghanistan has been "Win the Hearts and Minds of the People" which was coined by the Combined Action Program in Vietnam - this has to be done on the local level.

Rural based insurgencies will continue to occur which will continue to be one of the principal threats to peace and stability within Afghanistan and the mid-east in general. The conventional military thinking will operate as a major obstacle to the to the development of the combine action capability. Look to the Marine Corps Small Unit War Manual! This is based upon the doctrine of running a combined action program - which was started by the United States Marine Corps in 1900 in Samoa -then for 18 years in Haiti and then 8 years in Nicaragua and six (6) years in Vietnam - it is based upon all my training in counter insurgency warfare and experience in the sierra combined action platoon which is the exact opposite of conventional warfare when you are doing nation building. The doctrine consists of: 1.   Security (law enforcement) 2.   Intelligence  (grass roots level - identification of the insurgent infrastructure) 3.   Psychological Warfare (Winning the Hearts and Minds of the People) 4.   Civil Affairs (Coordination of Civic Action Commodities - supply chain and distribution to meet the basic  needs of the people, Coordination of the civilian agencies, medical program, education, economic development, job training and military & Police training) 5. Military Patrolling (night ambushes, killer teams, reaction forces and day patrols) 6. Training - Adding the seventh piece of the doctrine 7  Counter-Narcotics

Comments:China promises cut in carbon dioxide emissions

emissions
This isn't really a promised cut in CO2 emissions; rather, Mr. Hu is saying that they will cut back PER UNIT OF GDP. Since China undoubtedly is planning to grow their GDP through 2020, total emissions will likely continue to rise, albeit at a slower rate than they otherwise would have. The US has demonstrated a similar pattern; we're doing some things cleaner and more efficiently, but long-term our total consumption and emissions continue to increase.

Vienna mayor criticises cancellation of Michael Jackson tribute concert

September 25, 2009

The mayor of has criticised the cancellation of the original Michael Jackson tribute concert that was due to take place on September 26 in Vienna, Austria.

, the mayor of Vienna, has said: "[The show would have been] very interesting... had it been properly prepared and organised but it was not." The tribute concert, which was due to take place in Austria on September 26, was organised mainly by, Michael Jackson's brother.

Funding for the original concert had been cancelled on September 11 due to the fact that many top stars such as, and  couldn't make the concert because, as Jermaine Jackson said, "Numerous stars were just not able to change their schedules".

Renault's F1 sponsors quit as Grosjean crashes on same corner as Piquet

September 25, 2009 Two of Renault Formula One's sponsors have terminated their contracts after Renault's race-fixing last year. The move comes as Renault racer Romain Grosjean crashed into the same corner as the one Nelson Piquet Jr deliberately hit to ensure victory for his team-mate last year.

Renault's main sponsor, Dutch bank ING, had already said it would not renew its three-year contract when it expires at the current season's end, but has now pulled out four races early. It said the recent revelations were "very disappointing". Spanish insurers Mutua Madrileña echoed this sentiment, saying that moral issues, as well as the fact the manoeuvre was dangerous, reflected badly on sponsors.

The firms have quit because Renault this month admitted to cheating during the 2008 Singapore Grand Prix. Piquet drove his car into a wall after fellow Renault driver Fernando Alonso had refuelled early. A safety car came out and as various drivers went in to refuel behind it, Alonso was able to move up and secure a win. Alonso, who is Spanish, was also personally sponsored by Mutua Madrileña and this contract remains unchanged. Formula One's governing body, the FIA, ordered a meeting of the World Motor Sport Council when the allegations surfaced. At that meeting, Renault were given a two-year suspended sentence that will see them kicked out of the sport if they cheat again in that time-frame. Team boss Flavio Briatore was banned for life and engineer Pat Symonds was banned for five years due to their roles in the incident.

These developments come days after the European Sponsorship Association said that cheating scandals jeopardised funding for teams in major competitions. Renault's remaining sponsors are French-based international energy firm Total, tyre manufacturer Bridgestone, Russian communications provider Megafon, Pepe Jeans, and Internet educator Universia. Renault have confirmed an intention to remain in F1 despite the recent controversy. Practice sessions for the 2009 Singapore Grand Prix were held today. "Sorry guys, I lost the car in turn 17," Grosjean announced over the team's radio, spinning out on the same corner as Piquet drove into a year ago to trigger the scandal dubbed "Crashgate" by the media. Once more, a safety car appeared while the Renault was removed. A photograph of the car after Grosjean's accident did not reveal obvious major damage, though it did clearly show that the names of two sponsors have disappeared.

Iran announces its building of a second nuclear power plant

September 25, 2009

The Iranian government has announced that the nation is near completion of a second nuclear power facility. The announcement was made in a September 21 letter from the Iranian government to the United Nations Security Council that a second nuclear plant was being constructed in the city of.

In the letter to the U.N., the Iranian government states that the plant will contain 3,000 and produce roughly 5%.

According to, the Iranian government made the announcement after the nation received word that the United States had already known about the facility. CNN cites an unnamed U.S. government official as saying the U.S. was made aware of the facility at some point during the presidency of George W. Bush. Today the U.S., along with France and the United Kingdom, condemned the new plant.

"Iran's decision to build yet another nuclear facility without notifying the IAEA represents a direct challenge to the basic compact at the center of the non-proliferation regime. The size and configuration of this facility is inconsistent with a peaceful program," said U.S. president Barack Obama during a press conference. French president and Prime Minister of the UK  stood next to Obama as he made the statement.

The Iranian government has repeatedly stated that their nuclear program is for peaceful purposes and for the production of electricity. In response, the country's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said that the new plant was not a secret and that the knew the plant existed. He also called the statements made by Obama, Brown, and Sarkozy a "mistake."

"It's not a secret site. If it was, why would we have informed the IAEA about it a year ahead of time. They (U.S., UK & France) will regret this announcement. If I were Obama's adviser, I would definitely advise him to refrain from making this statement because it is definitely a mistake. It would definitely be a mistake," said Ahmadinejad to reporters in in the U.S.

The U.N. Security Council has passed several resolutions ordering Iran to stop its enrichment of uranium, or face sanctions. The first resolution,, passed the council in July of 2006 with 14 nations agreeing to the resolution and one opposing it. The resolution ordered Iran to stop enrichment and in December 2006, the council unanimously voted on, which enacted sanctions banning the supply of nuclear related materials to the country, and froze assets of individuals and companies connected to the country's nuclear program.

Afghanistan begins partial vote recount

September 26, 2009

Afghan officials are recounting a sample of the votes from last month's disputed presidential election, in an effort to resolve weeks of uncertainty about the outcome.

Preliminary results from the August 20 vote show the incumbent candidate, president Hamid Karzai, in first place, with 54%. But if enough votes are found to be fraudulent, and his tally falls below 50%, he will face a run-off against his chief rival, former Foreign Minister Abdullah Abdullah.

To speed up the recount process, the United Nations-backed panel investigating the fraud allegations agreed to allow election officials to review only a portion of the votes from polling stations with suspected problems. If any runoff is not held soon then the Afghan winter will prevent one until the spring should it be required.

The Electoral Complaints Commission said Friday that 313 ballot boxes had been randomly selected from the more than 3,063 stations considered suspicious. "It will be fair. We've got these international experts who have been doing this and who have advised that this is a good approach," said Electoral Complaints Commission head Grant Kippen.

The recount process is estimated to take around two weeks to complete.

Manson Family killer Susan Atkins dies in prison

September 25, 2009

Susan Atkins, a former member of the Manson clan and the longest-serving female prisoner of California, US, has died in prison. She was 61.

It was Atkins who exposed those responsible for the murders after she bragged of her involvement while imprisoned for an unrelated offence. Two fellow inmates reported her to the authorities. Subsequently, her testimony ensured that she, Charles Manson and several others would be convicted of a string of murders in a 10-month trial, including those of heavily pregnant actress Sharon Tate and of Leno and Rosemary LaBianca.

Atkins received another murder conviction for the separate killing of Gary Alan Hinman, bringing her total to eight murders. All convicted killers in the Manson clan were sentenced to death but this was replaced with life imprisonment after the death penalty was abolished in California.

In recent years, Atkins had developed cancer which spread, almost totally paralysing her. She also had one leg amputated. She was denied compassionate release last year and parole earlier this month, with the parole board citing the vicious and remorseless nature of the crimes. Prosecutor Stephen Kay described her as "the scariest of the Manson girls. She was very violent."

Ex-chief prosecutor Vincent Bugliosi said that she "had the most unfortunate background," of all the killers except Manson himself. Her mother died of cancer while Atkins was fifteen, her father selling the family's house and all their possessions to pay hospital bills. He became an alcoholic and first neglected, then abandoned Atkins and her younger brother. Both were in foster care for a time and Atkins dropped out of school after her standards fell. She struggled to look after both herself and her brother and later worked as a topless dancer. Once, she was arrested and charged while hitchhiking because the car that gave her a ride was stolen.

In prison, she became a Christian and denounced Manson. Prison staff supported her 2005 parole bid, but she would be kept imprisoned. She ultimately served 38 years behind bars.

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

Airliner crash wounds four in Durban, South Africa

September 25, 2009 Four people have been injured after a passenger plane on a repositioning flight crashed at Durban International Airport, South Africa. The crew was attempting a crash landing in a playing field after the Jetstream 41 aircraft developed engine trouble.

The aircraft, which belonged to Airlink, ran into difficulties shortly after takeoff, with at least one engine failing and smoke entering the cabin. It crashed about three kilometres from the airport, or 400m from the perimeter, leaving both flight crew, a flight attendant and a bystander on the ground with multiple injuries. No-one else was involved, and at least one person needed to be cut from the wreckage.

The crash at a high school field narrowly missed houses. The bystander was a cleaner who was struck by the aircraft, and is in critical condition with broken legs. The flight attendant hurt her back and face. The captain suffered injuries to his legs and face, and the first officer broke her hand, both her ankles, her hip and her ribs. She has had surgery, the others are awaiting it.

An investigation into the crash has been launched by the South African Civil Aviation Authority.

MMS comes to American iPhones

September 25, 2009

Today, after two years of waiting, American iPhone users are finally able to send and receive MMS messages. This long awaited feature has caused Apple and AT&T a great deal of grief from its user base. Originally the grief was directed at Apple for the lack of inclusion on the device, but as time progressed AT&T was faulted for lack of support.

When the iPhone was released in June of 2007, it lacked one feature that was widely available on other devices: MMS or Multimedia Messaging Service. This standard, similar to the all text SMS standard, allows users to send and receive video, audio, and picture files on their mobile phones. MMS was launched in 2002 and by 2007 was a common feature on most new mobile phones. It was not until June 2009, with the release of iPhone OS 3.0, that the devices also had the capability to send and receive these multimedia messages. Unfortunately for American iPhone users, all of whom use AT&T because of an exclusive agreement between the phone company and Apple, AT&T did not allow iPhone users to use this feature; that changed today.

Current iPhone users simply need to update (from iTunes) and reboot their device in order to enable MMS. AT&T was originally concerned about not having the network capacity to handle the data demand of all the MMS messages and in Wikinews' own testing this seems to be a valid issue. The ability to send and receive MMS messages was functional, but by midday Friday (PST), AT&T's network was extremely slow, with messages taking in excess of two minutes to send. Tests over AT&T's 3G network showed upload and download speeds nearly halved what they were just a few days prior.

Issues & Feature requests
Open issues If you find any bugs, or have any feature requests, please tell me. Bawolff ☺☻ 23:27, 25 September 2009 (UTC)
 * IE is not well tested. in particular there is some layout issues with the boxes not being in a column layout
 * Image extraction should perhaps take infoboxes into account, or even categories to guess a default image (low priority)
 * Handle exceptional cases better (page not found, etc)
 * ITs somewhat improved now. still not great.
 * Give a better success message than alert box and reload page. (open to suggestions as to what this should do after updating leads)
 * Skip to lead preview better on preloaded page requests
 * Should only autosight if reviewer.

Instructions

 * Page can optionally take parameter use-page to denote what page to use. (escape spaces with + or %20. do not use underscore)
 * Example: http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Wikinews:Make_lead?use-page=Coordinated+terrorist+attack+hits+London
 * Otherwise either click on one of the links in the most recent published list or type the page name in in the box
 * Change which lead number you want to update (it defaults to the oldest one, so recommend you keep it at that)
 * Check the preview. if you need to make changes, do that and regenerate the preview
 * Hit save. And that's it.

Recent articles glitch?
Just thought I'd point out that the list of recent articles doesn't seem to be picking up the newest pages, even after purging the page. Could this be fixed? Tempodivalse [talk]  19:42, 22 October 2009 (UTC)
 * At first i could not figure out why this wasn't updating, but then i realized i had an old version of the main page in the other window for comparision. So i still don't know why it didn't update, but its updating for me. In any case, i switched it from using DPL to doing the normal <DynamicPageList> which might be cached differently, which might have been the issue (unsure). Hope that helps. Bawolff ☺☻ 19:59, 22 October 2009 (UTC)

Note
The lead list that shows how old in hours each lead is doesn't appear for me. Could this have something to do with the mediawiki update? Tempodivalse [talk]  15:21, 11 February 2011 (UTC)
 * It does not appear to me either. Yell at Bawolff :P --Diego Grez return fire 15:23, 11 February 2011 (UTC)

Note!
When it says: "Please do not use time sensitive words like "today" or "yesterday" in Main Page leads", please heed. In my interpretation that includes Mon, Tue etc. Just put the date (July 24, for instance). JJLiu112 (talk) 22:47, 24 July 2022 (UTC)

Expansion?
We are going a discussion at Talk:Main Page about how to handle situations where we have more new articles than there is space for on the Main Page (yes, I know it's rare). One possibility I was thinking of is simply having more leads e.g. ten lead templates. Would it be possible to change WN:Make Lead to update up to ten templates? [24Cr][talk] 14:28, 6 June 2024 (UTC)

 * In principle yes. This is not something i am really maintaining anymore so i dont know if i would personally have time to do it. Bawolff ☺☻ 15:05, 6 June 2024 (UTC)

Generally its a good idea to set parameters before the onload event is fired (some parameters it matters, others it doesn't). An example of parameters would be using the following js code (don't feel like you have to set all of them. they all have defaults. this is just an example):

if (!window.wiktLookup) wiktLookup = {}; wiktLookup.count = 1; //number of defn to return. wiktLookup.showWord = bold; // to show what word we're looking up. one of bold, none, link wiktLookup.noRedir = false;// true to stop magic (not mediawiki)-redirection. unrecomended wiktLookup.audio = true;// true, false, autoplay.

Eight children taken to hospital after being hit by car in Suffolk, England

September 26, 2009

Eight children were taken to hospital on Friday after being struck by a car in Suffolk, England.

20 schoolchildren were out on an educational trip through the village of Worlingham in Suffolk, England at roughly 14:00 BST with a teacher and an assistant to supervise. They were being introduced to the local area when a driver lost control of a Nissan Note and ploughed into the group of children, who were eight and nine years old. The accident occurred near a church where a funeral was taking place. Eight pupils had to be taken to hospital. Two of the victims were transported from the crash scene by air-ambulance. Another person suffered from two broken legs. The teacher was also injured. One girl is thought to have a broken pelvis.

A spokeswoman for the paramedics said that three of the badly hurt children "went under the wheels of the car". A 21-year-old man was also hurt. He was on his way to the funeral, which was for a person who had died in a road traffic accident. Mike Croft, who is the principal of Worlingham Middle School, said: "You could not think of anything worse than finding children like that. It's not a day I want to repeat. When I got there, there was mayhem. It looked awful. Parents were informed as quickly as possible. Counsellors were called to the scene and subsequently attended the school."

Andreas Djiakouris, supervisor of the paramedics, stated: "Every single one of our crews who were at the scene had their hands full from the minute they got there to the minute they left." Three children are said to have been critically injured.

It is thought that the Nissan driver hit the group of pedestrians while trying to avoid other parked cars. A 40-year-old woman has been arrested on suspicion of dangerous driving.

Chechnyan president sues Russian activist over murder claim

September 26, 2009

The president of Russia's Chechnya region has launched a libel action against the head of Russian rights group Memorial. Ramzan Kadyrov is seeking ten million rubles (£207,800) from Oleg Orlov who accused him of involvement in the kidnap and murder of another rights activist.

Orlov has told the court he did not mean direct involvement, but "political guilt" when he laid responsibility for Natalya Estemirova's slaying upon Kadyrov. "I didn't speak of his involvement, I spoke of his guilt. These are two different things," Orlov testified.

Kadyrov did not appear in court but his lawyer, Andrei Krasnenkov, neither called witnesses nor questioned those brought by the defence. Krasnenkov said Orlov's words were helping destabilize Chechnya and told reporters that "Human rights defenders are miserable people."

Estemirova had been threatened several times by Kadyrov and had fled Russia previously as a result, sometimes for months. Her death prompted the closure of Memorial's Chechnyan office. She was, Kadyrov said, "without honour or a sense of shame." Memorial say they hope the court case, which gets under way on October 6, will reveal new evidence of serious crimes they claim Kadyrov routinely ignores. These include extra-judicial killings, kidnap, torture, and arson attacks.

Five boys charged with raping girl in Greater Manchester, England

September 26, 2009

Five boys have been charged with raping a 15-year-old girl in a park in Greater Manchester, England.

The boys, who are aged 13–17 years old, are alleged to have attacked the schoolgirl in Queen's Park close to Bolton town centre in the early hours of Thursday morning. Police were called at around 01:00 BST on that day. The boys were arrested on Friday and charged on Saturday morning.

The alleged offenders are due to appear in Bolton Magistrates' Court later today. They have all been remanded in custody. The girl has been receiving counselling after the attack. Forensics have examined the scene and a bench has been removed for further tests.

A clean power source
It's good that the Iranians are investing in clean energy. Although, they now have to join the rest of the world in solving the problem of nuclear waste. I think it would have made more sense if they invested in solar power. --Mephiles (talk) 10:04, 26 September 2009 (UTC)

The objective behind the SMBus battery is to remove the charge control from the charger and assign it to the battery. With a true SMBus system, the battery becomes the master and the charger serves as a slave that http://www.goodlaptopbattery.com.au/acer must follow the dictates of the battery. This is based on concerns over charger quality, compatibility with new and old battery chemistries, administration of the correct amount of charge currents and accurate full-charge detection. Controlled charging makes sense when considering that some battery packs share the same footprint but contain radically different chemistries.

The SMBus system allows new battery http://www.goodlaptopbattery.com.au/dell chemistries to be introduced without the charger becoming obsolete. Because the battery controls the charger, the battery manages the voltage and current levels, as well as cut-off thresholds. The user does not need to know which battery chemistry is being used.

An SMBus battery contains permanent and temporary data. The permanent data is programmed into the battery at the time of manufacturing and include battery ID number, battery type, serial number, manufacturer’s name and date of manufacture. The temporary data is acquired during use and consists of cycle count, user pattern and maintenance requirements. Some of the temporary data is being replaced and renewed during the life of the battery.

The SMBus is divided into Level 1, 2 and 3. Level 1 has been eliminated because it does not provide chemistry independent charging. Level 2 is designed for in-circuit charging. A laptop that charges its battery within the unit is a typical example of Level 2. Another Level 2 application is a battery that contains the charging circuit within the pack. Level 3 is reserved for full-featured external chargers.

External Level 3 chargers are complex and expensive. Some lower cost chargers have emerged that accommodate SMBus batteries http://www.goodlaptopbattery.com.au/apple but are not fully SBS compliant. Manufacturers of SMBus batteries do not readily endorse this shortcut. Safety is always a concern, but customers prefer these economy chargers because of lower price.

Serious industrial battery users operating biomedical instruments, data collection devices and survey equipment use Level 3 chargers with full-fledged charge protocol. No shortcuts are applied. To assure compatibility, http://www.goodlaptopbattery.com.au/toshiba the charger and battery are matched and only approved packs are used. The need to test and approve the marriage between a specific battery and charger is unfortunate given that the ‘smart’ battery is intended to be universal.

Among the most popular SMBus batteries for portable computers are the 35 and 202 form-factors. Manufactured by Sony, http://www.goodlaptopbattery.com.au/sony Hitachi, GP Batteries, Moltech, Moli Energy and many others, this battery works (should work) in all portable equipment designed for this system. Figure 3 illustrates the 35 and 202 series ‘smart' batteries. Although the ‘35’ has a smaller footprint compared to the ‘202’, most chargers are designed to accommodate all sizes. A non-SMBus (‘dumb’) version with same footprint is also available.

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 Zenghui. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Zenghui~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 23:24, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
