Comments:NASA prepares to launch mission to nearby asteroids

solar system
It is funny how little people really know about the solar system from early education. FYI there are 8 planets and at least 4 dwarf planets (or whatever they are called). Contralya 22:13, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
 * I know this, and I don't see your point? ST47 01:14, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
 * There are the traditional nine planets -Pluto, they found a 10th just like Pluto, and there are two others in irregular orbits closer to earth. The ones near earth are the best choices for colonization after mars due to proximity and stuff. Contralya 10:18, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

Hey Mohammad! Your comment concerning Aner Shalev (the Israeli mathematician) really touched me. I don't think that Muslims have less potential than Jews, only that most of them are currently too busy fighting and praying, and don't have as much time to study as some Jews do. I hope that every man, not only a Muslim, will be as kind and generous as you! Guy, Israel 79.179.164.114 17:40, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

UEFA Cup 2007–08: Bayern Munich makes return to UEFA Cup

September 19, 2007

Bayern Munich are returning to the UEFA Cup for the 1st time since winning their 2nd leg match against Valencia in the 1996/97 season.

The reason for Bayern Munich being in this tournament instead of UEFA Champions League is because of their 4th place finish in the Bundesliga last season. A standard which had not been this low since 1994/05 Bundesliga season.

Bayern Munich face Belenenses tomorrow at Allianz Arena in Munich, Germany in a Bayern Munich coach Ottmar Hitzfeld has declared his team "favourites." Hitzfeld also declared that "we mustn't take anything for granted. We can't expect to win UEFA Cup ties if we only give it 80 percent."

Bayern Munich Striker Luca Toni and Defender Marcell Jansen are expected to make their debuts tomorrow. Jansen was quoted as saying "It’s a whole new experience for me, and I’m really looking forward to it." Toni was quoted as saying "Obviously, it’s a shame we’re not in the Champions League, but we’ve always known that" and "I can hardly wait for the adventure in the UEFA Cup to begin. And it’s a significant adventure."

Nigerian "free puppy" scam revealed on the internet

September 20, 2007

A Nigerian "free " scam has been circling the internet for months without any reports on television or on the radio. Just yesterday the  reported about a, Ontario, Canada woman, on September 10, who was scammed by a Nigerian man (Paul) claiming to be a Christian missionary who could no longer take care of his puppy.

In April, the  reported that the issued a warning for residents to watch out for the new scam, and to not respond to them. Humane Society communications officer Lee Oliver told the CBC that the only contact method, for an ad about a "free" puppy published in a newspaper, was email. After he emailed the person he received an email response in broken English saying the customer would have to pay $500.

According to the women the advertisements are published in newspapers, such as free Toronto daily newspaper 24, and online. She saw the ad at Livedeal.com, a website which warns about making foreign purchases, and proceeded to email the person in Nigeria who was offering a "free" female pup. The ad called "GORGEOUS YORKSHIRE TERRIER FOR FREE GRAB HER NOW!!!" had a picture of a "Yorkie" in a white basket.

The seller of the puppy asked the women over the phone to pay $200 for the shipping fee, the next day he asked for $250 to put the dog in a crate, and again the next day $50 for ownership. He did not tell her it would amount to $500. On the third day he asked for $100 for a shot for his puppy. She immediately contacted authorities.

"Are you trying to call me a scam? I'm a family man," he said. "I am a man of God. I am a missionary," Paul told a reporter for the Toronto Star.

"Me and my family don't have enough time for baby ... I want a good Christian home for my baby ... I love this baby," he said. "Why all these questions? Why are you accusing?"

According to Oliver, a nearby Toronto resident also responded to the scam.

Warnings have not only been issued in Canada but also in the Cayman Islands. The United States also has many citizens that are victims of the scam.

Comments:Australian treasurer attacks opposition leader's tax question error

There is something I don't get about taxes: With higher taxes, the government gets more money... But with lower taxes there are more transactions resulting in things being better for commerce, individuals paying less taxes, and the government getting the money lost with the lower taxes from the extra transactions. Contralya 01:18, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

And so you do understand, grasshopper. It's the same for any business, lower your price (by lowering your profit margin) and you increase sales, hence profit; raise your prices and increase your profit margin, but reduce your sales. (Similarly, reduce quality, reduce costs, but perhaps reduce market share.) Every business needs to find the balance, the highest Profit = Sales X (Profit-Margin - Costs). Reduce your prices below this, and you hurt your profit more than your sales increase; increase your prices and you hurt your sales more than your profit increases.

Every country has a similar balance, between tax-rate and economic activity, to give the highest government revenue. (Similarly between the economic brake of taxation, and the social advantage of government spending; government's "cost vs quality".) The thing to remember is that there isn't a magic formula or model to tell you where the balance point is. So it generally comes down to ideology and hindsight, distorted by... well, distortions... such as economic booms/busts. "We are proven economic managers!!!" "No, they're just riding the resources boom, spending like drunken sailors!!!"

Supporters of Canadian youth held in Guantanamo gather, demand action

September 20, 2007

It was an awkward birthday gathering; as the family and supporters of Omar Khadr gathered in Toronto to try and explain why the Canadian youth was still being held at Guantanamo Bay.

Khadr, who turned 21 on Wednesday, has become a rallying point for groups who say the Canadian government isn't doing enough to ensure he receives a fair trial. "Neither Liberals nor Conservatives have done anything," railed Khadr's defence attorney Dennis Edney, who is flying down to meet with his client on Monday.

"Comparatively, Canada is behind the curve," chastised Human Rights Watch spokesmen Nehal Bhuta, pointing out that Khadr has received "almost no support from his government" and therefore remains the only Western citizen still held in the detainment camp after nearly six years. HRW colleague and attorney Jennifer Daskal repeated the condemnation, calling on Canada to "step up, put pressure on the United States government."

"He is a victim of circumstance, not 'the worst of the worst'" explained Daskal, who was echoed by U.S. military counsel Lt. Cmdr. Bill Kuebler "in other circumstances, we would have called him a child soldier." Alleged to have thrown a grenade that killed an American soldier, Khadr was only 15 years old at the time of the firefight that left him with three bulletholes in his chest. His sister Zaynab pressed Kuebler for answers, demanding to know if "the right to defend onself [is] exclusive to the US Army, because by all reports, that what Omar was doing".

Perhaps International Law professor Darryl Robinson phrased the conundrum most succinctly; "When we shoot at you, that's just war. When you shoot at us, it's a crime."

Quoting Richard Baxter of the Harvard Law School, Robinson challenged the Bush administration's claims of operating outside of international law, stating that "the first step in sidestepping humanitarian law, is denying its applicability." He further amused listeners by expanding on the catch-22 "you don't fall under the Third Geneva Convention because you're not a combatant, you're a criminal - and you don't fall under the Fourth Geneva Convention because you're not a criminal, you're a combatant...so I guess there are no rules".

Referencing the fact that even a legal acquittal could still leave Khadr in Guantanamo indefinitely, Bhuta summarised his continued detention as "sadly, something of an icon of everything that's gone wrong in the U.S. War on Terror."

Comments:Supporters of Canadian youth held in Guantanamo gather, demand action

Here we go, another Guantanamo scandal. Why does everyone always assume that all held are innocent? Why does everyone think that the prisoners always tell the truth? We live in a gullible world. Contralya 09:05, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
 * The very existence of Guantanamo is an affront to the principles of justice. Why aren't these people (a) held in the country where the "crime" was committed? (b) Afforded the same "innocent until proven guilty" rights as other alleged criminals?
 * The US would do well to deal with their home-grown terrorists who bomb abortion clinics and so before going and grabbing people in foreign countries and without trial declaring them "enemy combatants". --Brian McNeil / talk 09:53, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
 * People who bomb abortion clinics aren't terrorists. --206.116.168.12 11:16, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

 * we don't assume hes innocent, in fact the article says that hes not, we just assume that hes a human and so international laws for human rights should be followed! But i suppose you believed in WMDs so we do live in a gullible world!

 * Well I know for certain that if they had to detain and try militants and suicide bombers in Iraq, all the troops would die. There usually aren't proper facilities in 'any country'. Yes, they should have a trial, but for a number of reasons, like how terrorists are good at hiding evidence, local courts would probably find ANYONE convicted innocent simply because they are being tried by Uncle Sam, and the fact that merely hearing about a particular case is trying to kill innocents and such, makes security look bad.

But the fact still remains: People always assume that the prisoners are innocent and that they always tell the truth. Funny how people will believe a suicide bomber, but at the same time know that O.J. is guilty of murder.

And by the way, about that last comment, I know that there were no WMDs in Iraq and DO NOT think that the president that possibly the lowest approval rating in history represents what the American people think. Just his little band of supporters (well less than 25% of the population). Contralya 10:33, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

 * While I agree that its hard to convict terrorists, its no excuse for not following the Geneva convention (but from a country where the VP can get out of following rules by switching departments every 2 seconds I don't expect any better). If you don't have the evidence, then how do you know the detainee is the right person?

If a man shoots at you with a gun, you shoot him, he limps away, disposes of the gun then dies, did he not shoot at you? People seem to like the idea that troops murdering civilians better than the idea that the man disposed of the gun. Though you do have a point, in that if there is no evidence, how do you know they did it; but what if the evidence wouldn't convince a court because of bias or the fact that court cases can take many months?

You don't have to look far to see that there is no shortage of prejudice against Americans, especially the government.Contralya 11:08, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

self defense?
if you're throwing grenades...you aren't defending yourself....you're trying to kill people

The Canadian government should revoke his citizenship
He doesn't really care about Canada and he's a traitor.

He only uses his Canadian citizenship to get preferential legal treatment.

Flooding in Slovenia leaves six dead

September 20, 2007

Six people are confirmed dead after Tuesday's heavy rains in Slovenia. Up to 300 mm of rain fell in just a few hours across the country, with swollen rivers, torrential streams and landslides sweeping away cars, houses, bridges, and whole sections of roads. In some areas, public services have not yet been restored, and healthcare and drinking water are being provided by mobile units. Some major roads are still closed. The damage includes the destruction of the resistance Hospital Franja, a museum site from the Second World war.

Worst hit was the valley town of Železniki, where three people died, 350 houses were flooded and over a hundred cars were swept away by the swollen river Sora. The dead included a woman who was swept away by the river in her car. The local health facilities and the elementary school are closed. Road communication to several surrounding villages was cut off by landslides. The flood also badly damaged local industry. The lower-lying town of Škofja Loka was also badly hit by the flood. A 31-year-old volunteer fire fighter was killed during the rescue effort in Cerklje.

Other badly affected areas include those along the rivers Sava, Savinja and Dravinja. All three rivers and many of their tributaries overflowed and flooded fields and towns. The low-lying parts of Celje, Laško and Nazarje were flooded by up to 2 meters of water. A 34-year-old man and a 24-year-old woman were killed in Podgorje near Braslovče when their house was buried in a landslide. Two older people managed to leave the house unharmed.

Damage was widespread across the country and many roads were blocked by landslides. Velenje was cut off from the world for more than a day. The main road connecting the mountainous Bohinj valley to the central part of the country was closed, leaving only the mountain road to Tolmin.

Near the town of Cerkno, which was itself flooded, the museum site of Hospital Franja was nearly completely destroyed. The partisan resistance hospital from the Second World War, situated in a narrow mountain canyon above the town and named after the young doctor who worked at the site, treated hundreds of wounded resistance fighters and remained undiscovered by the Wehrmacht throughout the war. The hospital consisted of 12 wooden cabins and a miniature hydroelectric power plant. The power plant and all but one of the wooden cabins and were swept away by the swollen stream. Hundreds of exhibits, including medicine containers, locally produced medical equipment and an x-ray machine were lost or badly damaged.

The government of Slovenia directed €500,000 from the emergency fund to immediate rescue and repair operations, and has promised to help the affected municipalities and population with funds from the budget. The government has also pledged to rebuild the Hospital Franja museum site.

Bluetongue outbreak in Germany

September 20, 2007

A highly dynamic Bluetongue (or catarrhal fever) infection of sheep herds is underway in Germany. From August 2006 till September 9, 2007, 1,833 farms had reported the presence of the infection. From Sept 9. till September 14, 2007, the number of farms reporting infections has grown to 5,686. The number of deaths is estimated around 15,000 sheep.

Bluetongue infection is of viral origin and is harmless to humans. It is an insect-borne viral disease of ruminants, mainly sheep and less frequently of cattle, goats, buffalo, deer, dromedary camels and antelope. There are no reports of human transmission.

The origin of the infection is not clear but it is one of the diseases which is still feared to invade Northern Europe as a consequence of global warming. No official sources are as yet available as the affected sheep farmers have tried to get the news on the media but to no avail.

The disease has also been found in Belgium, France, the Netherlands and Luxembourg. The United Kingdom Department for Environment Food and Rural Affairs says the virus could spread from Northern Europe to the UK, but is unlikely.

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

Taiwan Sports Affairs Council hopes cancer patients finish 123KM bicycle riding challenge at Eastern Taiwan

September 20, 2007 To help cancer patients overcoming cancer and finding a bright life, Taiwan Cancer Friends New Life Association invited more than 100 cancer patients and volunteers and held the pre-tour launch of "Passing Through Cancer, Finding Love" Eastern Taiwan Bicycle Tour Challenge from Fugang (Taidong) to ChiShinTam (Seven Star Basin, Hualien) for a new miracle.

Min-fa Lin (Secretary General of Taiwan Cancer Friends New Life Association) remarked that a cancer patient inspires this tour because the one finished a small bicycle tour from Shihlin to Tamshui, after this event known by governments and companies, Sports Affairs Council of Executive Yuan of Taiwan (SAC) supervised and Giant Co., Ltd. sponsored this Hualien-Taidong tour. He also hoped this event will inspire common people finding a bright life from a dark or hopeless life. Huang-lang Tsai (Deputy Commissioner of SAC) remarked that SAC promoted public sports in Taiwan for a long period, and SAC respected the participation on disadvantaged people or minority. He hoped those disadvantaged people such as handicapped, cancer patients, deaf people can participate sports equally with common people, and also recommended some low-cost sports like long-distance running, walking, and bicycle riding, and hoped people in Taiwan will support "Taiwan Citizen Walking Day" at November 11, 2007.

After the speech by Tsai, he presented a symbolized flag to a delegate named Tsia-tse Kuo and hoped this trip will succeed.

This challenging tour will take place at September 23 and 24.

American evangelist claims copyright on public domain videos

September 20, 2007 Evangelist Kent Hovind's ministry filed several DMCA copyright complaints on YouTube causing the video-sharing website to ban several users. Hovind, who is now serving ten years in federal prison, turned Creation Science Evangelism (CSE) over to his younger son, Eric Hovind, in January 2007.

In early September CSE claimed copyrights on critical videos that had material produced by Hovind and at least one video that contained no Hovind/CSE material. However, CSE's website stated, "none of the materials ... are copyrighted, so feel free to copy these and distribute them freely." This is a point of contention since CSE is now claiming copyright on material to remove critical analysis.

The Rational Response Squad, one of the accounts banned by YouTube, has pledged to sue Hovind/CSE. Last year at Hovind's trial the prosecution and CSE employees noted that CSE was not a church nor was it operating as a legally licensed business.
