Does removal of the versions list from the AWB check page mean that all the old versions will cease working? If so I'd obviously want to warn people or at the very least put a message on the Checkpage talk. --Brian McNeil / talk 19:17, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

Columbine incident
I felt that the information I removed was redundant. I incorporated it back into the article so as to not look clunky. Theirishpianist 19:53, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
 * As reported by the AP:

"Kelley said she believed more than one threat was called in Thursday beginning at 9:30 a.m. She did not know whether the caller made reference to the April 20, 1999, attack by Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris, who shot and killed 13 people before taking their own lives.

"Most of the threats that have been associated to that school made reference to past events that occurred there," Kelley said. "But a bomb threat to a school is as serious at any school as it is at Columbine."

Previous threats have made reference to the incident - not necessarily this one. Theirishpianist 20:01, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Where does she say that? DragonFire1024 20:03, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Seeing as her quote is not enough, I did some research on my own to confirm the fact. I know what speculation is, thank you, so I followed up with an unequivocal quote from another authority on the matter. Theirishpianist 20:19, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Great :) good work :) If i had the capabilites to call them I would have. I was not trying to be mean, just stating the rules of how things are done. good work :) DragonFire1024 20:20, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

 * While I agree with you on this issue, I think a good comprimise (that Brian and other users would agree on) would to only remove the really revealing ones. I also think that reporting on the "boobs on bikes" parade is worthless. The Wikipedia article states that it is only to market to adults. However, if the women were doing this for a good cause (e.g. to stop lung cancer, etc) then it would be a good story to report on. — F e  llow  Wiki  News   (W)   (sign here!)  21:04, 2 March 2007 (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 HD. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name HD~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)

Chelsea maintains pace with Manchester United

March 3, 2007

Second place Chelsea visited Fratton Park earlier today to take on, who currently reside in eighth position in the league. Chelsea, who watched Manchester United defeat Liverpool earlier in the day, were 12 points behind the leaders and needed a win to ensure a tight race until the end of the season. Chelsea skipper {{w|John Terry remained out of the squad after his injury in the Carling Cup final against Arsenal, and {{w|Frank Lampard}} again filled the void as captain.

Portsmouth were the first to threaten goal, as {{w|Lua Lua}} blasted a right footed shot at the Chelsea goal, but keeper Petr Cech was able to make a save to avoid falling behind early. Chelsea soon began to dominate possession, but shots by {{w|Ashley Cole}} and {{w|Andriy Shevchenko}} were sent wide and high of the goal. Shevchenko then tried to become provider, as he swept in a ball for Drogba, but the ensuing shot was off target. Drogba soon made amends, as he knocked in a goal from a deep cross by Ashley Cole. The goal was Drogba's 29th of the season in all competitions.

After the halftime break, Chelsea continued to threaten, and {{w|Arjen Robben}} could have doubled the lead, but his shot hit off the goal post instead. The next goal attempt was a 25 yard shot by Frank Lampard, which keeper David James did well to hold on to. On 57 minutes, Arjen Robben made a run down the sideline and was brought down by a strong challenge. He then appeared to have been struck by an object thrown from the audience, and was booed by the crowd for the rest of the game. Portsmouth nearly stole points from Chelsea minutes later, when substitute Andy Cole headed towards goal, but Cech again was in the right place to see off the danger. With the clock winding down, Chelsea killed off the game when Kalou took advantage of a mistake by James, and slotted the ball into the back of the net.

The win leaves Chelsea still in the running for their third consecutive Premier League title, but their more immediate concerns are their second leg Champions League match against Porto this Tuesday. Portsmouth have only the Premier League to contend with now, and play Reading next at the Madejski Stadium next Saturday. {{Original}}

Misleading title
I was browsing the headlines and this title seemed to jump out. It implies that the lead of Manchester over Chelsea was reduced to less than the 9 it was at the beginning of the day. There was only a period of three hours where Manchester was actually ahead by 12, due to scheduling of the games on that day. Since the gap was 9 on Friday, and was still 9 at the end of Saturday, I think the title should be changed to "Chelsea maintains pace with Manchester United" or something similar. 69.70.169.126 17:13, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

Iranian president and Saudi king agree to fight sectarian strife

March 4, 2007

In his first official visit to Saudi Arabia, Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad met King Abdullah to discuss the region's growing political and sectarian conflicts, agreeing to stand against "enemy plots" that divide the Muslim world.

Both leaders have expressed concern over sectarian tensions in Iraq, fearing they could spread through the Middle East.

According to an account of Sunday's meeting in Riyadh by the Saudi Press Agency, "The two leaders asserted that the greatest danger threatening the Muslim nation at the present time is the attempt to spread strife between Sunni and Shia Muslims and that efforts should be exerted to stop such attempts and close ranks."

Iran is a large Shia power in the region and Saudi Arabia a large Sunni power. The Saudis have tried in recent months to curb the growing influence of Iran, even working to cool off tensions in Lebanon, where the Iran-backed Hezbollah has faced off with the secular Lebanese government.

After returning to Tehran, Ahmadinejad said, "Plots carried out by the enemies in order to divide the world of Islam were discussed" and both men condemned those plots. He also said Iraq and Palestinian issues were discussed "comprehensively."

Welcome!

72.87.42.143, welcome to Wikinews! Thank you for your contributions I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

Our key policies - if you read anything, read these! Here a few pointers to help you get to know Wikinews: There are always things to do on Wikinews:

Here are some other hints and tips:

 * I would recommend that you get a username. You don't have to log in to read or edit articles on Wikinews, but creating an account is quick, free and non-intrusive, requires no personal information, and there are many benefits of having a username.  (If you edit without a username, your IP address is used to identify you instead.)

 * When using talk pages, please sign your name at the end of your messages by typing four tildes (~~). This will automatically produce your username (or IP address) and the date.

If you have any questions, you can ask them at the water cooler or to anyone on the Welcommittee, or ask me on my Talk page. Again, welcome! — Doldrums(talk) 07:29, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

Gaddafi brief
First off, we really appreciate your contribution.

But sometimes users submit an article from somewhere else, not realizing that Wikinews cannot keep copy-and-paste versions of articles which are published elsewhere under a restrictive copyright. An article created in this way is a copyright violation, and Wikinews policy is to erase these even if they are excellent article ideas.

Another problem which sometimes comes up is press releases. Press releases are sometimes excellent sources, but they do not qualify as unbiased news articles so they can't be published as they are. Two key things to remember about press releases is that they're usually written to represent the viewpoint of an involved party (Thus likely running foul of our Neutral Point of View policy). And second, they are generally covered by copyright which can conflict with our open editing approach.

A better way to get an article on an exciting subject published here is to write an original article following the guidelines described in writing an article, or to write a brief explanation of the subject and include the url address of articles or websites to use as sources.

Thanks again! — Doldrums(talk) 07:29, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

probably not caused directly by leaking sewage
Just want to point out that the heavy rains and leaking sewer were probably important contributors to this event but it was destined to happen sooner or later no matter what. The void below these homes had been developing in the limestone for probably millions of years slowly working its way closer to the surface.

Too bad about the sewage because I'd be willing to bet that many residents get their water from the same aquifers that the sewer is draining into.

Incidentally most sinkhole collapses and subsidence can be attributed to lowering of the water table through heavy use of ground water. This is becoming more common in places such as Texas and Florida where underground water is a major source and is removed faster than it can be replenished.

 * See Broken_stormwater_drain_led_to_Guatemala_sinkhole for info from a civil engineer on the scene. The sewer eroded some of the poorly-compacted landfill into a canyon.  I don't know what to do with this story, since it doesn't even get the date right. -- Dan Hoey 16:30, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
 * My mistake--I was looking at the dateline. Thanks to Stevenfruitsmaak for adding the update tag.  Also, the updated article explains better that the poorly-compacted fill was probably washed out through the main sewer pipe into the canyon, forming a cavern that is twice as wide at the base as at the top. -- Dan Hoey 18:40, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Three babies dead within one week at Madrid Hospital

March 4, 2007

A Spanish hospital reported today that three premature babies have died within one week from the same infection. The babies, who were being cared for in the neonatal intensive care unit of Madrid's 12 de Octubre Hospital, all died after being infected with Klebsiella pneumoniae bacterium. Authorities also suspect that a fourth baby has become infected with the bacterium. The Spanish patients' association ADEPA has asked the public prosecutor of the Madrid Region, Manuel Moix, to open an investigation into the matter.

This morning, hospital authorities stated that the first death occurred on 26 February. A baby born eight weeks prematurely and weighing just under one kilo died due to septic shock arising from the infection, which was unconnected with the symptoms of his premature birth, according to hospital reports.

Shortly afterwards, two babies in the same unit died on 2 March. They appear to have died from the same infection; however the hospital stated that they are still waiting for confirmation of the cause of death. A fourth baby has been found to have the bacteria on his skin, but as yet there is no confirmation of whether he has been infected. The hospital states that although the baby is in a serious condition, this is to be expected when a baby is born so premature, and that his condition is also due to other factors, unrelated to the bacterium, which have arisen since his birth.

The hospital authorities have asserted that all of the babies in its care are under close supervision, and are being periodically monitored by the Preventive Medicine Centre, in order that the most up-to-date information may be had on the state of any and all patients in the hospital.

To prevent further infections, the hospital has taken several measures. The first is of course rigorous medical hygiene. High-risk patients are referred to other hospitals. The hospital has been divided into two separate zones, one for those already infected and the other for those who have not yet been affected. As a consequence, 25 children who were staying in the hospital while the 3 premature babies died, remain separate from the others, to make sure newly admitted children are not exposed. The nursing staff has also been restricted to one or other of these two areas. Visits from specialists of other hospital services, and from families, has been restricted. Furthermore, an epidemiological study is being undertaken to determine the origin of the situation.

The newspaper El País reports that the bacterium Klebsiella pneumoniae is to be found in hospitals as a matter of course and is often contracted by those who have been in hospital for prolonged periods (termed a nosocomial infection). The mortality rate from the bacterium is extremely high in those cases where it's contracted by people with serious illnesses, as is often to be expected in the case of a premature birth, which can result in newborn babies weighing less than 500 grammes.

According to the Spanish daily, this type of bacterium is prevalent in hospitals throughout the world, but the incidence of infection in Madrid hospitals is lower than the Spanish average. The head of the Neonatal Unit at 12 de Octubre Hospital, Carmen Payás, explained that the bacterium is very adaptable "and keeps on learning". The father of the dead baby, an Ecuadorian named Angel Marcelo, was quoted as saying that the progress of the baby had at first been "tremendous", and that he had even been taken off the respirator, but that a few days later he began to cough up blood, dying soon afterwards.

The chair of ADEPA, Carmen Flores, has appealed to the Madrid public prosecutor to open an investigation into the situation and to find those responsible. ADEPA have suggested that the investigation centre on the number of casualties among infants in the hospital, and on the question of whether conditions in the neonatal unit were a direct contributor to the incidence of the infection.

José Quero, head of the Neonatology Department of the La Paz hospital in Madrid said that, "sadly enough", this situation was "not something exceptional," but rather something neonatologists have to watch out for.

Operation to capture rebel leader surges violence in East Timor

March 4, 2007 Several conflicts involving civilians occurred in East Timor at the same time that Australian-led peacekeeping troops stormed a town where a rebel former army officer and his men have been under siege.

The Australian soldiers, supported by helicopters and armored vehicles, stormed the town of Same, 50km south of the capital Dili, at dawn.

Four armed East Timorese men were killed and two others injured during the operation, but their leader, Major Alfredo Reinado, escaped the troops.

The operation was authorised by East Timor's president, Xanana Gusmão, after Reinado refused to negotiate.

The Major was directly involved in the clashes with the government forces last May, and was later jailed by Portuguese troops for having in his possession dozens of weapons and explosives that he hadn't handed over to the Australian troops in charge of disarming the rebels. Reinado escaped during a mass breakout from a Dili jail last August.

After the Australian-led operation started, many conflicts occurred simultaneously in different parts of Dili, with roads being barricaded and cut off by burning tires, rocks and trees. Many houses and vehicles were also burned, as violence between rival groups started on the streets.

The Vila Verde neighborhood, right in the center of Dili, was one of the most affected, with facilities of the Education Ministry being engulfed by a fire until the morning.

Benjamin Marty, finance manager for the Norwegian Council for Refugees in East Timor, has his house and office in Vila Verde, in the same street that connects the Portuguese Corporation Neighborhood to the United Nations Integrated Mission in Timor-Leste (UNMIT) headquarters.

"I didn't get too worried when a saw a group of people starting to hit the gate, but I called my boss, that said me to stay calm." Bryn Bithell-Marty said.

"Ten minutes later, I see the GNR arrive and starting to fire rubber bullets to the right and to the left" of the street, Marty remembered.

"They called and asked me to open the gate, but initially I didn't understood what they wanted, because I don't speak Portuguese. Just in some minutes, I was inside a armored vehicle, and we got out of there at the same speed that they had arrived, deviating from the barricades with a lot of skill", Marty added.

Benjamin Marty said he was "surprised with the professionalism" with which the Portuguese Republican National Guard (GNR) acted, but he was discontented with members of the United Nations Police (UNPol).

"There's UNPol near my house, the patrol cars were always stopped and the police agents didn't do anything», Marty said, adding that the UNPol agents also didn't react "hours early when some people started to burn tires and hitting metal to call other people to the street".

The clashes in Taibessi, Pité neighbourhood, and at the entrance of the UNMIT headquarters were the most severe, involving firearms in some locations.

In Banana Road, one of the main roads that crosses the city, a group of teenagers guarded a poster of Alfredo Reinado.

"We are the defenders of Major Alfredo, hero of the justice. We are ready to die to defend him", said one of them.

In the streets of Taibessi since some days ago that the illumination posts and some trees have posters and banners of Alfredo Reinado.

As a response to the successive attacks by a group on the Pité neighborhood, 15 Portuguese Public Security Police (PSP) officers, organized themselves without orders from the UNPol, and for three hours the 15 officers faced the attacks.

Later back at the GNR headquarters, Benjamin Marty, found himself even more surprised. "Do you know how the Asterix and Obelix stories end?" he said. On the GNR headquarters there wasn't a party with roasted boars, like in the Gaul village, "but there was a cow in the skewer", he added.

All of the three GNR operational platoons then left their monthly festivity to the streets of Dili, for a operation that lasted seven hours.

Microsoft wins case against Alcatel

March 4, 2007 A week after having been ordered to pay a one-and-a-half-billion dollar fine by courts in the United States, El Mundo reports today that Microsoft has won a case brought by Alcatel-Lucent against Microsoft involving the violation of patents on voice-recognition technology.

Alcatel-Lucent's spokesman said that the company planned to appeal against the verdict by a federal judge in San Diego, California, and were confident of victory on appeal.

On the other hand, Tom Burt, a member of Microsoft's legal team, said that Microsoft were confident that the appeal court would uphold the verdict of the trial court.

Last week, a jury in the San Diego federal court upheld a complaint against Microsoft for the violation of patents on the MP3 format, used on computers and portable media players. Sources said that the $1.5bn fine, the largest ever awarded in a patent case, took into account the number of computers sold pre-installed with the Microsoft Windows operating system since May 2003.

The verdict - which Microsoft has confirmed it intends to appeal - could have implications far beyond Microsoft's Redmond, WA headquarters, due to the high volume of devices which use the MP3 format; the format is the most popular method of storing digital music on portable music players, etc.

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 Webby06. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Webby06~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.

NCAA Basketball: Championship week concludes today as teams await release of national tournament bracket

March 11, 2007 Original Article: March 4, 2007

The NCAA's two-week slate of conference championships came to a conclusion on Sunday, March 11. Twenty-five conferences held their championship games this past week, cementing the postseason destinies of schools headed to the national tournament.

Sunday, March 4, 2007
The week kicked off with the Missouri Valley Conference championship. The Southern Illinois Salukis took on the Creighton Bluejays for the right to guarantee a trip to the national tournament. While nationally-ranked SIU was heavily favored and had defeated Creighton twice during the regular season, the Salukis had no answer for the Bluejays attack. Creighton led by as many as 14 points, and while SIU was able to cut the deficit to five in the waning minutes, Creighton's free throw shooting allowed them to ride the lead to a victory.

Monday, March 5, 2007
The first game on March 5th featured the Virginia Commonwealth Rams taking on the George Mason Patriots. GMU, coming off a trip to the national semifinals last year, simply ran out of steam as VCU used a 12-2 run in the final 90 seconds of the game to finish off the Patriots, 68-58. With GMU leading by 5 points with just under 1:30 remaining, VCU scored 6 straight points to take the lead. Off a miss by GMU, Eric Maynor of VCU brought down the rebound and drew an intentional foul that would all but seal the win for the Rams. VCU's overall record now stands at 27-6.

In the MAAC final, Niagara University got 26 points from Tyrone Lewis and 21 from Lorenzo Miles as the Purple Eagles defeated Siena University 83-79. Niagara returns to the NCAA tournament for the first time since 2004.

Out west, the Gonzaga Bulldogs wrapped up their fourth straight West Coast Conference tournament championship with a 77-68 win over Santa Clara. The Broncos' loss marked the final game for Santa Clara coach Dick Davey, who announced his retirement on February 1st. Gonzaga will be making its ninth straight trip to the NCAA tournament.

Tuesday, March 6, 2007
Three more conference champions were crowned on Tuesday night. The first game of the evening was the Mid-Continent Conference championship, which went to the Oral Roberts Golden Eagles. The matchup against Oakland University of Michigan was a rematch of the Mid-Con final from 2005, when the seventh-seeded Grizzlies upset ORU to earn the MCC's automatic bid. Tonight would not be a repeat of that fateful game two years ago, as the Golden Eagles held off a spirited rally from Oakland to win. Oakland led by 11 at the half, but ORU stormed back early in the second half and kept the Grizzlies at bay for the last seven minutes of the game.

The second game of the evening was an upset, with the Wright State Raiders upsetting the 17th-ranked Butler Bulldogs 60-55. Butler trailed by 8 with 11 minutes to go in the game but fought back and kept the game close for the last half of regulation, but the Raiders were able to fend off the Bulldogs with four straight free throws in the final 12 seconds. Butler still stands a chance of receiving an at-large selection to the tournament but will not know their fate until March 11.

The final game of the evening was the Sun Belt championship, with the North Texas Mean Green taking the conference championship over Arkansas State 83-75. UNT led by only one at the break but scored 46 points in the second half to earn their first conference championship since 1988.

Wednesday, March 7, 2007
Two conferences crowned champions on Wednesday evening. In the Northeast Conference, the Central Connecticut State Blue Devils earned a trip to the NCAA tournament with a 74-70 win over Sacred Heart. The Blue Devils will be the only team from Connecticut in the tournament this year as state counterpart UConn was eliminated in the first round of the Big East tournament and will presumably miss out on the tournament with a 17-14 overall record.

Out west in the Big Sky Conference, the Weber State Wildcats picked up their 20th win, a conference championship, and their first NCAA invitation since 2003 with an 88-80 victory over the Northern Arizona Lumberjacks. While NAU was able to cut a 21-point Weber State lead to as little as two points, the Lumberjacks never led in the game.

There are no conference championship games on Thursday. The Patriot League resumes the slate of conference championship games on Friday.

Friday, March 9, 2007
The lone conference championship on Friday saw the Crusaders of the College of the Holy Cross defeat the Bucknell Bison 74-66. The Crusaders, leading 35-22 at the half, opened the second half with an 11-5 run, before the Bison answered with a 13-0 of their own. The Bison were able to tie the game with just under 6 minutes left in the game, but the Crusaders scored seven straight points to answer.

Saturday, March 10, 2007
The largest day of conference finals during the week commenced with the Conference USA championship featuring the Memphis Tigers and the Houston Cougars. Memphis won decisively, 71-59. The Tigers never trailed during the second half and had a double-digit lead for much of the last 20 minutes.

Out at the America East Conference championship in Burlington, Vermont, the Albany Great Danes eked out a 60-59 victory against the Vermont Catamounts. Vermont had a possession to win with 32.5 seconds left, but Albany defender Brian Lillis knocked the ball loose from Vermont guard Mike Trimboli with four seconds left to preserve the victory.

Nine other champions were crowned during the course of the day. Florida A&M won the MEAC championship narrowly, defeating Delaware State 58-56. In the SWAC, Jackson State had a slightly larger margin of victory, taking out the Delta Devils of Mississippi Valley State 81-71.

Other big winners included George Washington (Atlantic 10), Oregon (Pac-10), Georgetown (Big East), and Long Beach State (Big West).

Three other conference championships game down to the final minutes. At the Mid-American Conference championship, the Miami Redhawks defeated the Akron Zips in controversial fashion. Miami player Doug Penno banked in a 3-point shot as time apparently expired, but upon review the officials placed six tenths of a second back on the official clock. When Akron's inbounds pass was tipped away, the Miami celebration could begin in earnest. Akron coach Keith Dambrot claimed that the clock started late when Miami inbounded the pass initially and that Penno's shot came after when the buzzer should have sounded. The officials determined that the Miami sequence took six seconds, and placed six tenths of a second back on the clock. Dambrot continued to protest, but to no avail.

In the Mountain West Conference championship, the UNLV Rebels rallied from a 13-point deficit early in the second half to defeat the Brigham Young Cougars 78-70. Farther south, at the Western Athletic Conference championship, the New Mexico State Aggies survived a Utah State rally and hung on for the 72-70 victory.

Sunday, March 11, 2007
Five conference championships took place mere hours before the official release of the NCAA tournament bracket. The first game of the day was the Southeastern Conference championship, featuring the Arkansas Razorbacks and the Florida Gators. The Gators took control early and routed the Razorbacks 77-56 to claim their third straight SEC tournament title.

Out at the Atlantic Coast Conference championship in Tampa, Florida, the North Carolina State Wolfpack fell just short of a historic tournament run, falling to the top-seeded North Carolina Tar Heels 89-80. NCSU entered the ACC tournament as a 10-seed, defeating three straight ranked opponents on their way to the ACC championship, but fell just short of a successful tournament run.

The Southland Conference championship came down to the final seconds, as the Texas A&M-Corpus Christi Islanders won 81-78. The Northwestern State Demons hit a three-point shot with two seconds to draw within one point. Following two foul shots, the Demons had an opportunity to tie with another three-point shot but their inbounds pass was tipped and intercepted as time expired. The Islanders earn their first trip to the NCAA tournament with the win.

The Big Ten Conference championship started off a tight affair, but the Ohio State Buckeyes, top-ranked in the country at game time, pulled away from the Wisconsin Badgers in a 66-49 final. It was believed that the winner of this game would receive a top seed in the national tournament.

The final conference championship to be decided was the Big 12 Championship. The Texas Longhorns and Kansas Jayhawks played an extremely tight game, with multiple ties and lead changes during the course of the game. Mario Chalmers of Kansas hit a three-pointer with 13.8 seconds left to tie it, with the Jayhawks having battled back from a deficit late in the half. Kevin Durant's shot with two seconds left hit the back rim and bounced away, sending the game into overtime. In the overtime, Texas missed their first three free throws but was able to maintain pace through the first part of the extra period. Shooting struggles and fatigue doomed Texas in the overtime, however, and Kansas was able to hang on for the win and the Big 12 Conference tournament championship by a final score of 88-84. Two key shot blocks from the Kansas defense spurred the victory for the Jayhawks.

Kraft Canada recalls cookies after reports of 'sharp metal objects' baked into the cookies

March 4, 2007

On March 2, 2007, Kraft Canada Inc. (Kraft) issued an alert to news media requesting the recall of a brand of cookies manufactured in their Toronto, Ontario plant. The news release indicates that certain packages of Christie Chewy Chunks Ahoy! cookies may have been tampered with. Kraft had received 2 complaints from consumers that small, sharp metal objects had been found in the cookies.

The product had been distributed to stores in Quebec, Ontario, and to a Wal-Mart in Labrador City, Newfoundland and Labrador in the province of Newfoundland. Kraft indicated that no other Christie products are affected by the recall.

Kraft is undertaking an internal investigation and has referred the case to police, although they suggest that there have been no serious injuries associated with consumption of the product.

According to spokesperson Lynne Galia, Kraft is treating the case as suspected tampering, as "the material found in the cookies is not found in our plant."

The police investigation is in early stages, with accidental contamination or intentional tampering both being given consideration.

The product recall affects the following packages of Christie Chewy Chunks Ahoy!:

 * Package Date: 2007 JL30 KT16, Size: 325 g, UPC: 0 6672101602 7
 * Package Date: 2007 JL30 KT26, Size: 325 g, UPC: 0 6672101602 7
 * Package Date: 2007 JL31 KT36, Size: 325 g, UPC: 0 6672101602 7

 * Package Date: 2007 JL31 KT26, Size: 325 g, UPC: 0 6672101602 7

West Ham rocked by stoppage time goal

March 4, 2007

Tottenham Hotspur travelled to Upton Park earlier today to face West Ham United, currently the bottom team in the table. West Ham were 10 points adrift of relegation safety at kickoff, and desperately needed points to secure a stay in the Premiership for next season. Tottenham on the other hand have been enjoying a good run of play as of late, and had a chance to jump above Portsmouth into 8th position in the Premiership. West Ham started strongly in the match, desperately trying to bring the game to Tottenham with the support of their home fans urging them on. West Ham's first effort came in the second minute, but keeper Paul Robinson was able to beat away the shot of Mark Noble. Things took a downturn for the Hammers several minutes later, when Matthew Upson was forced off the pitch after aggravating a calf injury, and was replaced by Calum Davenport. Dimitar Berbatov then had two great chances for Tottenham, as he went one on one with keeper Robert Green, but Green was able to stop the Bulgarians attempts both times. West Ham continued to press, and were rewarded with a goal on 16 minutes. Paul Konchesky's pass was chested down by Argentinian Carlos Tevez, and Mark Noble half-volleyed the ball into the back of the net. Tottenham nearly got an equilizer only minutes later after a defensive error by West Ham, but Berbatov's shot was again saved by Green. More chances came for both sides in the forms of Defoe for Tottenham and Harewood for West Ham, but the next goal would come through the young Carlos Tevez. Michael Dawson fouled the Argintinian on the outside of the 18 yard box, and Tevez curved the ensuing free kick in under the crossbar. The goal was Teves' first since joining West Ham at the beginning of the season. He was booked for his goal celebration as he ripped off his shirt and ran into a group of cheering fans. Tottenham made a change to start the second half, substituting Tom Huddlestone for Hossam Ghaly, and Huddlestones prescence helped Tottenham to control the midfield. They used their control to its potential, and Aaron Lennon was able to earn a penalty after being brought down by Lee Bowyer in the area. Jermain Defoe stepped up and slotted the ball past Green to cut the Hammers lead in half. Spurs continued to press for an equilizer, and got it in the 63 minute as Lennon flicked a Berbatov cross into the path of Tainio, and the Finnish international volleyed the ball past Green. The tying goal seemed to wake West Ham up, and Bobby Zamora and Keppa Blanco were added to the mix to try and save the 3 points for the home side. West Ham got their goal, and Tevez was involved again as his cross was headed home by substitute Zamora. As 90 minutes approached, Tottenham won a free kick on the edge of the box, and Dimitar Berbatov stepped up to the plate. Several of Berbatov's attempts had been blocked by keeper Green already, but he would not be denied this time as he curled the ball into the top left corner, leaving the goalie helpless. Tevez again threatened Tottenhams goal, but his shot flew just wide. West Ham would be left to rue their missed chances when Defoe's shot was parried by Green, but the ball was tapped in by Canadian Paul Stalteri, giving the visitors their first lead of the game, and soon earning them all 3 points. The goal came just over 5 minutes into stoppage time, and there was no chance left for West Ham to equilize. West Ham will continue their battle to stay in the Premiership in two weeks time against Blackburn, while Tottenham is due for an UEFA cup battle against Braga.

The Taipei City Lantern Festival was off to a bright start on Saturday Night as hundreds of thousands of people crowded onto the Chiang Kai Shek Memorial near downtown Taipei to witness city mayor Hau Lung-bin and other dignitaries ceremoniously flip the switch to light hundreds of colorful lantern scenes in and around the 240,000 square meter memorial park.

The centerpiece of this rock concert-like performance is a 15 meter high rotating pig equipped with a fog machine, laser light show and theme music.

The theme of this years lantern festival revolves around the 12 year Chinese zodiac cycles year of the pig. Its round shape symbolizes wealth and good fortune and is believed to bring good luck.

Started in 1990, the Taipei lantern festival continues a 2000 year old tradition of light related festivals marking the end of the Chinese New Year celebrations. This particular event grows in popularity every year. Last Year over 4 million visitors attended the event and this year the city expects about 6 million visitors according to the event website.

Colorful lantern scenes not only fill the central square but also the surrounding 2 km circumference of the memorial. Each section has a theme. One side of the memorial is scenes made by student groups while other areas represent the counties of Taiwan. There is even a section of lanterns sponsored by foreign countries. The Malaysia Tourism board was quite prominent at the main entrance to the grounds.

As with all new year celebrations in Taiwan, the lantern festival is crowded. People flock to see the lantern scenes and enjoy the festival atmosphere as they carry lanterns, given away by the city and bought from street vendors at the event. The many light toys such a swords, devil ears, and lanterns turn the milling crowd into a unique light show that can be observed by climbing the steps of the 70 meter memorial hall on the grounds.

Local public transportation hubs are often swamped by the event. The station staff at Chiang Kai Shek Memorial Hall Station do an excellent job of crowd control but lines for the subway can still be hours long and very exhausting. A sudden rain storm on Sunday night (March 4)caused a mass exodus of people to head for the station prompting lines that backed up into the street. The commuting crowds can be avoided however by walking from NTU Hospital Station or Shandao Station. Both of these stops are only about a 20 minute walk from the event and have no crowds at all.

If you really want to avoid the crowds, definitely avoid the weekends. Wait until the fourth or fifth day of the festival when the crowds will have dwindled. I visited the festival on Saturday night, the opening night, and there was a sea of people in the square. I went back the next Tuesday night and there was almost no one there, just a few stray photographers taking advantage of the unimpeded views of the lanterns. The festival runs through March 11 this year.

Fijians in New Zealand urged to protest NZ's involvement in Fiji

March 5, 2007

The prime minister (PM) of Fiji, Josaia Voreqe Bainimarama has urged Fijians living in New Zealand to protest the involvement of the New Zealand government, and PM of New Zealand, Helen Clark, in Fiji's affairs.

The acting PM, and former coup-leader, Mr Bainimarama told the Indian-language radio station, Radio Tarana that Helen Clark is affecting and damaging the way he can run his country, because she does not support him. He also says that New Zealand will damage the 2010 Fijian elections, which Mr Bainimarama intends to hold.

Mr Bainimarama has said that he had wanted to remove the policies in Fiji that are based on races, but New Zealand wasn't prepared to help him. He says that New Zealand and Helen Clark is supporting a race biased government and calls on Fijians to tell her that they don't support that.

Mr Bainimarama took control of Fiji when he initiated Fiji's fourth coup in 20-years on December 6, 2006, saying that the government was corrupt. Mr Bainimarama had opposed the coup in 2000, saying the government was too soft on those involved.

In response to the 2006 coup, the United States, Australia, United Kingdom and New Zealand initiated various sanctions.
