Bob Dylan plays first concert in Vietnam

April 13, 2011

, the U.S. musical artist and songwriter, performed his first concert ever in Vietnam on Sunday night, forty years after his 1960s protest songs, now iconic, gave voice to America's anti- movement.

The concert came days after he played two shows  in China, where he performed in Beijing and Shanghai as part of his  Asia-Pacific tour. On Sunday, he played in (formerly Saigon), on a date  50 years after  his first major  performance.

Dylan played outdoors on a warm evening on the grassy grounds of. The audience was a mixture of young and old; both foreigners and Vietnamese were present. He played in a Vietnam now at peace where half the population is under 30, too young to have memories of the war.

Dressed in a purple shirt, black jacket and wearing a white hat, he was welcomed with loud applause by an enthusiastic audience. His 17-song set list included a selection of his  1960s and 1970s hits such as "", "",  "", "", and "" along with more recent songs.

Tran Long An, vice president of the Vietnam Composers' Association noted that the significance of Dylan's Ho Chi Minh City performance was recognized by his Vietnamese fans. "Bob Dylan's music opened up a path where music was used as a weapon to oppose the war in Vietnam and fight injustice and racism," he said. "That was the big thing that he has done for music."

Vietnam's communist government allows few western acts to perform. Human rights groups criticized Dylan for submitting his play list for approval by the Vietnamese government authorities, although his promoter said no restrictions were imposed.

Eleven dead after Belarus subway bombing

April 12, 2011

Eleven people are reported dead and more than a hundred injured after a bomb went off in a station in Minsk, Belarus on Monday evening.

According to witnesses, the explosion happened just after a train entered the station at about 1755 local time (1555 UTC). The explosion reportedly damaged the station, with a section of the ceiling having collapsed.

One witness said: "People are being treated on the spot, some are being taken away, some—those who are conscious and in a more or less normal state—are being helped into ambulances."

A police spokesperson said security forces were placed in a state of "heightened alert" after the incident, and the area around the station was closed. President Alexander Lukashenko said police forces are to "turn the country upside down" to determine who was responsible.

The cause of the explosion was not immediately clear, though police are saying that terrorist activity was responsible. "We must find out who gained by undermining peace and stability in the country, who stands behind this," Lukashenko said. "Who did not like the stability in Belarus?"

If the government was really, truly concerned about stopping people smoking...wouldn't they just ban it? Or at least not invest in smoking companies, to show a non-hycritical stance?

2 bananas cost as much as a pack of smokes right now....the world isn't working the way it should.

Thread:Comments:Shiites protest against discrimination in Bahrain/Comments from feedback form - "The narrative that this is a s..."/reply (2)

I didn't argue with the fact that there is religious-based discrimination in Bahrain. However, the present uprising is not "about" the fact that that tension exists - it's about the poor and powerless standing up to an autocratic regime. That means people struggling to overthrow a sectarian ruler, so obviously Sunni people aren't going to join the protest in as great numbers - however, it's still an obfuscation to say there is both "political and sectarian unrest in the nation". It's almost entirely the former, and the sectarian nature of the uprising reflects a political conflict in which a minority based ruler has been giving preferential treatment while oppressing the poor.

While it may be true to say that "Sunni security forces have been raiding Shiite protestors' homes, knocking their doors down, spraying graffiti on walls and arresting them in an effort to keep Shiite activists off the street", you could just as easily say "state security forces have been raiding protestors' homes... in an effort to keep democracy activists off the street." They are both true statements, but the former places the conflict within a discourse of religious struggle, while the latter puts it in a context of people rising up against dictatorships, which is far more applicable to this situation, given the broader Arab spring presently happening.

User:Mono/Two-tiered review system

proposed Policy nav1

The reviewing capability on Wikinews is a technical tool that allows articles to be checked before they are published. Editors can obtain the reviewer privilege to mark revisions of articles as checked. There are two levels of reviews consisting of checked revisions and reviewed revisions. Checked revisions are briefly patrolled by reviewers for common issues, while patrolled revisions are fully fact-checked. Thus, an article undergoes four stages:
 * 1) Development—the article is written and improved
 * 2) Check—a reviewer checks the article and publishes it
 * 3) Review—a reviewer peer-reviews the article in preparation for archival
 * 4) Archival—the article is protected from editing and preserved as an archive

Criteria
Before an article is complete (in the development stage), it is tagged with Develop to notify any readers that it is a work in progress. When it is completed, the Develop tag should be replaced with a Check or Review tag. It will be checked by a reviewer that was not significantly involved in writing the revision. When checking the article, reviewers must check the following:

Checked revision

 * 1) Copyright: The reviewer should check that the text and images are not copyright infringement.
 * 2) Newsworthiness: The reviewer should check that the article agrees with our content guide and is newsworthy.
 * 3) Verifiability: The article is not original reporting. It must have three or more reliable sources. All sources should be check to see cited titles and dates match. The article should not be fact-checked.
 * 4) NPOV: The reviewer should verify that the article is written generally in a neutral and unbiased manner.
 * 5) Style: The reviewer should ensure that the article meets the general style guidelines for Wikinews articles.

Peer-reviewed revision
When reviewing the article, the reviewer must check the following:
 * 1) Copyright: The reviewer should check that the text and images are not copyright infringement.
 * 2) Newsworthiness: The reviewer should check that the article agrees with our content guide and is newsworthy.
 * 3) Verifiability: The reviewer should check that all information in the article is fully sourced, (using multiple independent sources is strongly encouraged) or has adequate Original Reporting notes.
 * 4) NPOV: The reviewer should check that all information in the article is written in a neutral and unbiased manner, with no editorial commentary/advocacy or unsourced opinion.
 * 5) Style: The reviewer should check that all information in the article complies with our style guide (on dateline, grammar and spelling, "inverted pyramid" structure, tone, wikilinks, categories, headline... etc.)

How to review
Reviewers must use the Easy Peer Review (EZPR) gadget to review pages. It provides a checklist interface for reviewing articles.
 * 1) Click the "Review" link from the toolbar toward the top of your screen.
 * 2) Select whether you wish to check or peer-review the article.
 * 3) Evaluate the article based on the criteria above.
 * 4) Click "Submit Review" and update the main page lead articles.

''Reviewers must use the EZPR gadget. It performs several important tasks not fulfilled by simply checking the page with Flagged Revisions.''

Changes after publication
If the article is changed after it has been published, it must be reviewed again. Most of the time, simple technical changes (no additional content added) are made—in general, these do not require a full check or review. If substantial changes are made or content is added, reviewers must check the new content against the criteria.

e are all mindful of how marriage
We are all mindful of how marriage can be a very religious celebration not only to the Christian world but to other religions as well. However, even though every nation has their own varied way to celebrate the sacrament of matrimony, what is congruent is the fact the weddings will always be a highly significant fragment of one's ethics. Weddings are truly a memorable event and that is why all engaged couples will surely put their best effort to have a perfect wedding. Selecting the right place to have the wedding and reception would surely contribute to have the wedding perfect. Before initiating your planning for the wedding, it is best for you and your partner to determine the things that you really desire for your event. A concept or a theme to focus with should be considered to relate to the couple's needs. Next thing to consider is to make sure that the location you want your wedding to take place is convenient and easily reachable not only to you but to your guests as well. Sometimes, you really need to plan and do the booking early. Make sure that the wedding reception should ensue in some place that can promulgate coziness to your guests where they can placate themselves privately. Always remember that the wedding celebration is the initiation of making the most vital institution which is the family on both sides. That is why, your reception should be a private event except if the couples are public icons. Uninvited individuals may become a liability to having a ceremonious event. Designing a backup plan should also be considered. It is never a 100% assurance that your plan will work out perfectly most especially during outdoor wedding celebrations. Take for example having a Pronovias Rangun wedding on a garden; you should always have a plan B in case the weather does not cooperate. We will never know what Mother Nature can do, and she will always do her plan no matter how significant that day is to you. During instances where guests are required to ride a boat to travel to an island, there should always be an alternative venue if for any cases that the boat breaks down or when it will rain cats and dogs. Having an alternative plan may assist the wedding to still ensue without letting the guests be tortured such as having extended stays or being away from work for a longer time.

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

Fatal train fire may have been suicide attempt, British police say

April 12, 2011

A fire on a train last night in, England, may have been started deliberately in a suicide attempt. The  has told Wikinews the incident "is not being treated as an accident". One female passenger, who is believed to have started the fire in a lavatory cubicle, was killed.

No-one else was injured in the accident, but it led to the closure of the critical after emergency services attended the scene. The train was approaching when smoke was seen coming from the washroom. "A passenger reported the fire to a conductor," a spokesperson for London Midland said. "All the other passengers got off safely."

Witnesses said the blaze broke out on a rush hour train travelling to London from. "The smoke was so thick it got onto your chest," one 68-year-old said. "The fire, police and ambulance service were here very quickly." The fire caused severe rail disruption as the line was closed while electric cables running along the track were turned off to protect emergency workers at the site of the incident.

Passengers have criticised London Midland for how they handled the incident. "People would have been more understanding if we knew how bad the fire was [and] that the power was off," one passenger, giving his name as Wai, wrote on the the social networking site Twitter. Another, Ross Lankshear, wrote: "It's very frustrating when you are waiting 1 hour then told trains are running but the staff are in the wrong place."

London Midland told Wikinews they were attempting to restore rail services on the West Coast Main Line. "We apologise to those passengers disrupted by this tragic incident," they said. "London Midland tickets were accepted by other operators and buses used as rail replacement services." They said service on the line was resumed at 7.30pm.

BTP
I emailed the British Transport Police; they sent me the following statement:

"British Transport Police (BTP) officers are currently on scene investigating the death of a 43-year-old woman on board a train near Leighton Buzzard Rail Station in Bedfordshire. A fire was reported inside a toilet cubicle on the train at 5.07pm. The deceased woman has injuries consistent with burns. No other person is believed to have been involved in the incident and it is not being treated as an accident. Officers from the Ambulance and Fire services also attended. The train involved was a London Midland service from Northampton to Euston. Officers are currently making arrangements for the train to be moved to sidings where forensic analysis will continue. There will be no further updates this evening."

London Midland
I emailed London Midland; they sent me the following statement:

"London Midland services are resuming (7.30pm) after an incident earlier this evening prevented trains running on the West Coast Mainline. A passenger reported a fire in a toilet on the 16.25 London Midland Northampton to Euston service as the four-carriage train approached Leighton Buzzard. Passengers were evacuated from the train at Leighton Buzzard and fire crews and British Transport Police officers attended the incident. British Transport Police have confirmed they are investigating the death of a 43-year-old woman. No other person was involved in the incident and it is not being treated as an accident by the BTP. We apologise to those passengers disrupted by this tragic incident. London Midland tickets were accepted by other operators and buses used as rail replacement services. We are worknig hard to restore our services."

Twitter
The two complaints from passengers were posted on Twitter by the accounts @wait096 and @rosslankshear.  wacky wace  11:29, 12 April 2011 (UTC)

A380 collides with regional jet at JFK airport

April 13, 2011

On Monday, an Airbus A380, operating as Air France Flight 007, collided with a  , operating as Comair flight 553/ flight 6293 in Delta Connection livery, on a taxiway at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York City. The A380 had 520 people onboard, and the smaller plane had 66.

The Comair jet had just arrived from, and was stopped on the tarmac, awaiting a gate to offload passengers. The A380 was preparing to depart for, and was taxiing along a taxiway when its wingtip struck the tail of the other plane. The impact spun the CRJ around 90 degrees and resulted in some damage to both planes.

A passenger on board the A380 said that "It really felt just like a speedbump or like hitting a pothole—a jolt—but it didn't feel right [it felt] like that shouldn't be happening."

LiveATC.net captured the recording of the flight deck and ground control communications before and after the incident. In the recording, one can hear controllers giving taxi instructions to the Air France plane, then later a controller calling for emergency personnel to the intersection of taxiways Alpha and Mike.

The National Transportation Safety Board plans to investigate the incident, and will study the flight recorders, air traffic control recordings, and data from radar on the ground.

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

User talk:Mono/Two-tiered review system

Feedback and discussion on the revised reviewing policy (see User:Mono/Two-tiered review system) is welcome. theMONO 04:19, 13 April 2011 (UTC)

I'm focusing on the "Checked revision" points. Below are a few comments/suggestions.

 * User:Mono/Two-tiered review system
 * "checked by a reviewer that was not significantly involved in developing the article". I would suggest replacing this with "checked by a reviewer not significantly involved in writing the article. My reasoning is that collaboration could be carried out with an author and a reviewer that fails in the current/first version, but is allowable in the second.
 * User:Mono/Two-tiered review system
 * "check that the text and images are not copyright infringement". I propose: "check that text and images are not obvious or blatant copyright infringement(s)"
 * I propose rewriting "Verifiability" as follows:
 * "3. Verifiability The article, if not including original reporting, cites three or more reliable sources; if original reporting is included, the reporter should be accredited &ndash, or have a history of accurate original reporting, adequate reporting notes must be provided and the reviewer should be able to confirm any withheld notes (eg email exchanges) exist. All sources should be check to see cited titles and dates match."

I believe the above changes give more flexibility in relation to original reporting, and ensure that a 'minimal' sniff test is carried out against sources. --Brian McNeil / talk 12:44, 12 April 2011 (UTC)
 * I note there seems to be a missing step here. Articles should be going from check to checked which has an option to then do a review and promote to our "current" reviewed/published stage.
 * I believe this is required because checkedis what I would expect used on breaking news articles. --Brian McNeil / talk 13:50, 12 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Further to that, an article should, using this process, be able to go from checked to archived without actually bing formally reviewed. In such circumstances, I believe the article should be going to an archived-unreviewed or archived-checked-only state. --Brian McNeil / talk 14:11, 12 April 2011 (UTC)

 * I agree with your points in general. When writing the page, I attempted to leave room for interpretation in the spirit of the rules. I agree that certain things were overlooked and need clarification. However, I have to disagree with your point regarding copyright. It is irresponsible and unethical to publish an article with copyright concerns and call it our own work. My position is if the reviewer believes the article characterizes a copyright violation, it should not be published without re-wording and re-structuring. Also, I believe that our original reporting articles are rather unique and that we should attempt to preserve the credibility of that process. I do not wish to change the original reporting process—the goal of 'checked' revisions is to speed up the reviewing process for breaking news and non-'Special Report' items. I will add the bit about titles and dates to the proposed text. theMONO 04:02, 13 April 2011 (UTC)
 * The formal review is somewhat a legacy feature; though some reviewers may want to do a full review right off the bat. The steps are somewhat redundant: if the article passes copyright and newsworthiness on the checked revision, it probably doesn't need re-checking. Your point brings up a possible issue. Say a reviewer performs a full review and it fails the fact-check. Would it be checkable? I think not, but that's a logical dilemma. Finally, FACs would have to be reviewed—checked articles that never got peer-reviewed would be archived-unreviewed. We could add some more incentives to do a full review. Maybe to have a 'Special Report', you must get a peer-review? This suddenly isn't quite as clear cut. What does the community think about this? theMONO 04:09, 13 April 2011 (UTC)

My comment at the water cooler (from about two hours ago):
 * The proposal as I understand it is that for publication articles are checked for copyright but not accuracy. If it's not checked for accuracy, that'd be a blog rather than a news site; and even if that weren't so, if the sources haven't been consulted thoroughly enough for fact-checking, they haven't been checked thoroughly enough for copyvio or neutrality either.  (Even though some kinds of non-neutrality are superficially obvious, neutrality cannot be determined unless you know what the facts are.)

 * Also note that deferring "peer review" until archiving (though apparently both tiers of reivew you're suggesting are by uninvolved parties, so calling only the second "peer review" seems odd) is late review, which has been opposed on the grounds that changes necessary to pass such a "peer review" cannot be made neutrally after the story is no longer fresh.

--Pi zero (talk) 14:19, 12 April 2011 (UTC)
 * In the academic world, colleagues of professors peer-review pieces. They are generally uninvolved, but they are 'peers'. I had to call it something ;). I can't completely agree with your entire statement—the tone of an article combined with the reviewer's background knowledge can usually detect a slant. The ugly copyright violations are when the author borrows words and phrases (close paraphrasing); it's simple to deal with copy and paste copyright violations. Again, it seems as if we differ on our interpretations of neutrality. I think unbiased; you think differently (I'm still figuring that viewpoint out). Ideally, late review is not desired—we might be able to boost the featured articles program through peer-review. Cheers, theMONO 04:16, 13 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Two key practical factors here (not the only ones) are
 * At what point does the article get pushed to GNews etc.?
 * The previously floated proposal was underdefined, and seems to have been misunderstood between different parties, on this point: as far as I could tell, some people assumed that "unreviewed publication" would only mean the article would appear in grey on the main page, but of course no such article would be pushed to GNews etc.; others assumed that unreivewed articles would be pushed out (and the push-unreviewed parties presumably didn't care about keeping our GNews listing).
 * When an article ultimately fails to pass the higher level of review, what is its subsequent fate?
 * Right now, the article that never passes full review ultimately gets deleted. Another variant would simply automatically archive it after a certain time, no matter what its quality.  Yet another would require it to achieve a certain level of acceptability before being archived (either holding it up as long as it takes to achieve that, or deleting it after some period of time or other if it fails to achieve acceptability, or some variant); the rules for post-freshness changes may be different than during-freshness changes, and presumably articles achieving acceptability late will be marked differently in the archives than normally fully-reviewed articles.  Still other arrangements could be envisioned.
 * If articles are not pushed to GNews etc. until-and-unless they pass a timely full review, and if they aren't archived unless they do so, then the lower level is really just allowing some of the developing articles in the newsroom to appear in grey on the main page listing. If we go any further than that down the slippery slope, we're cutting the ground out from under our ability to produce our high-quality articles — because in the long run, we can only produce our high-quality articles if we throw ourselves wholeheartedly into that goal, without having part of our will drawn off into a lesser form of "good enough".

 * Note, I've posted on the water cooler that our problem is not our publication standards at all, but what we expect of newcomers. --Pi zero (talk) 12:09, 13 April 2011 (UTC)

 * Another point I really should comment on: I mean that without thorough fact-checking, it is possible for an article to be biased by what it presents as the facts.  That's not a different sense of "neutral", it's simply recognizing that neutrality is not just a matter of how you say things, but of what you actually say.  Propaganda outlets can create extreme bias by using neutral "tone" to present false and/or highly selective facts.  --Pi zero (talk) 12:15, 13 April 2011 (UTC)

I don't get it. We have a "check" (like the review currently?), then it's published like it is now, then after seven days, someone re-reviews it for ... something ... and then it's archived?  — fetch · comms  02:50, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

French police arrest two women wearing veils after burqa ban goes into effect

April 12, 2011

One day after France began enforcing a ban on the public wearing Islamic veils that cover the face, either a or a, French police briefly detained two veiled women. The police later claimed that the women were arrested for taking part in an unauthorized protest, not because they were wearing veils.

The new is hotly debated. The women were arrested while outside the famed in Paris, and may now face fines of up to $217 (150 ), community service and/or a citizenship course under the law.

While the ban covers the burqa and the niqāb, it does not include the hijab or the . The hijab is a veil that leaves the face visible while covering the hair and neck, and the chador covers only the body.

The law has stirred much debate, both in France and around the globe. Those who oppose the new law say it limits freedom of speech and, while supporters claim that women are degraded by wearing veils and the law is intended to empower those women, as well as increase public security.

The French government, in defense of the ban, said that it was necessary because wearing veils falls short of the living standards in France and and makes women be of an lower status in a country where everybody is considered equal.

French Prime Minister has said that the ban is consistent with the national values of France. "The French Republic lives in a bare-headed fashion," he said in a statement published by a government newspaper.

The French government previously made efforts to accommodate Muslims in the country, including establishing a council dealing with the presence of Islam; however, according to Amer Sahar, a professor who studies the topic, some Muslims in the country say that they feel as though they are under assault by the government. She said that some are "resentful of the fact that they are not allowed to be both Muslim and French."

The French government is also concerned with women and children who are forced to veil themselves. It has said that such an action is "a new form of enslavement that the republic cannot accept on its soil." There is a fine of 30,000 euros (about $43,300) and a year in prison for forcing an adult to wear the niqāb or burqa. The fine is doubled for forcing a minor to wear the veils.

Activist auctioned one of his homes to provide money to pay the fine for any woman arrested under the law. "I would like to send a clear message to President Nicolas Sarkozy that we can do what we want. We have rules. We have a constitution and everyone has to respect it," he said.

According to the, the law "conforms to the Constitution" because it does not limit the freedom of religion or excessively punish people for exercising that right in a place of worship.

Thread:Comments:Crisis at stricken Japan nuclear plant escalates to level of Chernobyl; six killed in aftershock/The Safety of Nuclear Power Plants

I personally have no fears of nuclear power plants in and of themselves. What disturbs me is electric companies in a hurry to get the plant on line and making money or wanting to increase their profits and decrease the time it takes for a plant to pay for itself by cutting corners. In the early days of nuclear power plants, I believe it was Admiral Nimitz who remarked that there were people running the reactors that he wouldn't have swabbing the decks on his nuclear-powered aircraft carrier; in effect saying that companies were also cutting corners in the training of their employees. I would also like to comment on the fact that protestors against nuclear power plants seem to consist of every occupation except nuclear physicists. When I hear of scientists and physicists saying that nuclear power is unsafe in and of itself, then I will shift my position.

Thread:Comments:France first to enforce burqa ban/Good!

I'm glad somebody has finally been brave enough to do this.

The burqa is a prime example of people expecting their religion to let them get away with things nobody else can. One is not allowed to enter a bank wearing a motorcycle helmet (or anything else that covers their entire face), for security reasons, and the same applies to various tube stations. Muslims expect to be allowed to violate this rule on the basis of an outdated and probably false (as with all religions—I'm not singling Islam out on that count) set of morals that are supposed to be unchallengeable on the basis that they extend to the existence of a deity.

If I were to try to go about my daily life with a scarf wrapped around my face, I would—rightly—be asked to remove it to perform various tasks, and I would consider it impolite to walk around in such a manner in public. I, for one, am rather intimidated by people who walk around with their faces covered, and I expect I am not alone.

However, Muslims expect, on the basis of their religion, to be exempted from this. If one cannot enter a shopping centre in a hooded top, why should one be allowed to do so with their full body and face covered in a thick black garb? It is somewhat unfair, methinks.

If these people wish to wear the burqa in the privacy of their own home, or within their place of worship, they are perfectly free to do so, and they are—of course—free to believe in whatever religion, or system of morals, they wish. However, they must also comply with the laws of the land, as must everybody else, and this includes removing their face covering in public places (esp. banks, subway stations, shopping centres, and passport terminals).

The law of the land is not applied selectively based on religion. One cannot pick and choose which aspects of it to follow. If you don't like it, go somewhere else.

Mubarak refused permission to leave Egypt for treatment after heart attack

April 12, 2011 Ousted Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak has been refused permission to leave the country for medical treatment in Germany after suffering a heart attack during questioning by prosecutors who allege he was involved in corruption and killings while in government. The former leader was transported to hospital this afternoon days after he defended himself against allegations of.

Mubarak, who is banned from leaving Egypt, was today taken to hospital in the coastal city of, where he has been living since being from power following  widespread protests across the country, a security source confirmed. It is understood aides have requested he be allowed to leave the country for Germany, where he underwent surgery on his last year. Officials close to Mubarak have repeatedly insisted recent reports that the former leader's health was deteriorating were false.

The hospital is reported to have effectively shut down since Mubarak's admission today, and is only accepting emergencies, although Wikinews cannot independently verify this report. The security source said Mubarak was taken to hospital "amid a very heavy security presence in the town" this afternoon after maintaining a low profile in the city, on the coast with the. He arrived at the hospital in his armored, flanked by heavy police protection, according to two doctors who spoke anonymously. Hearing the news of the hospitalization a number of protesters arrived at the hospital to picket against the former president. The hospital declined to make any comment on the news, and said the Egyptian minister of health would make a statement later today.

Mubarak was being questioned by Egyptian officials, who summoned him for interrogation at the weekend, when he was taken to hospital. Prosecutors allege he ordered security forces to fire on people protesting against his rule. In an audio interview broadcast on television station , he said he would robustly defend himself against what he termed an "unjust" campaign of "distortions, lies and incitement" against him. He claimed his enemies were systematically aiming to "tarnish my reputation and discredit my integrity," and said he would legally fight those who "engaged in lies and distortions against me."

NASA celebrates 30th anniversary of first shuttle launch; announces new homes for retired shuttles

April 13, 2011 NASA celebrated the launch of the first space shuttle Tuesday at an event at the (KSC) in. On April 12, 1981, lifted off from the Kennedy Space Center on, the first space shuttle mission.

NASA held a ceremony commemorating the date outside the hangar, known as Orbiter Processing Facility-1, for, which is being prepped for its final mission which will be , which will be the last Space Shuttle mission.

At the ceremony,  announced the locations that would be given the three remaining Space Shuttle orbiters following the end of the. The prototype orbiter, Space Shuttle Enterprise would be relocated from the   at  to the  in New York City.

will take the place of Enterprise at the Udvar-Hazy Center. Discovery has already been retired following the completion of last month, its 39th mission. Discovery is undergoing decommissioning and currently being prepped for display by removing toxic materials from the orbiter.

, which will launch on at the end of the month on April 29, will be sent to the  in, California following its retirement. Finally, Atlantis will go on display at the following the orbiter's last flight which launches June 28.

Columbia was lost tragically back on February 1, 2003 when it disintegrated during re-entry killing all seven astronauts aboard. was lost when it exploded 73 seconds after liftoff back on January 28, 1986 killing all six aboard.

"We want to thank all of the locations that expressed an interest in one of these national treasures," said Bolden to the gathered crowd which contained many KSC employees. "This was a very difficult decision, but one that was made with the American public in mind. In the end, these choices provide the greatest number of people with the best opportunity to share in the history and accomplishments of NASA's remarkable Space Shuttle Program. These facilities we've chosen have a noteworthy legacy of preserving space artifacts and providing outstanding access to U.S. and international visitors."

Over twenty locations looked to obtain one of the orbiters because of potential tourism booms from them.

Not all were pleased with the final choice of locations. U.S. Senator, Republican from , issued a statement regarding the rejection of (JSC) in  as a location. “Like many Texans, I am disappointed with NASA’s decision to slight the Johnson Space Center as a permanent home for one of the Space Shuttle Orbiters. Houston has played a critical role throughout the life of the space shuttle, but it is clear political favors trumped common sense and fairness in the selection of the final locations for the orbiter fleet."

Cornyn's statement added, “There is no question Houston should have been selected as a final home for one of the orbiters—even Administrator Bolden stated as much. Today’s announcement is an affront to the thousands of dedicated men and women at Johnson Space Center, the greater Houston community and the State of Texas, and I’m deeply disappointed with the Administration’s misguided decision.” However, the JSC will recieve pilot and commander seats from the flight deck.

The in  was also proposed as another location for a shuttle, going so far as to build a new building to house an orbiter. In a statement,  said, “The Museum of Flight put a tremendous amount of effort into landing a retired shuttle in the Pacific Northwest. As the home of modern day air travel and the 747, which has gracefully transported shuttles for the last 30 years, Seattle would have been a perfect fit. While the Museum of Flight was in the top running, I’m disappointed that NASA did not choose them.

“However, the full fuselage trainer, that every astronaut including [former Museum of Flight CEO] has been trained on, will soon call the Museum of Flight home. The largest of the trainers, this addition will allow visitors to actually climb aboard the trainer and experience the hands-on training that astronauts get. Visitors will not be allowed in the other shuttles and this trainer is a true win for our dynamic museum. It will help inspire young people to the adventure of space and to the excitement of a career in science, technology, engineering and math."

Other items include various shuttle simulators which will be given to the in, Illinois, the  of , and  Aerospace Engineering Department. The nose cap assembly and crew compartment trainer for the at  in   and orbital maneuvering system engines for the  in, the National Air and Space Museum, and the Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum.

NASA is also offering shuttle heat shield tiles to schools and universities that want to share technology and a piece of space history with their students.

The 30th anniversary of the first shuttle mission coincided with the 50th anniversary of the first manned space flight when lifted off aboard  into space.

If they dont like it they can go back to where they came from. You cant come to a new country and obligate the locals to accept offending practices from your country of origin. Covered muslim women represent an offense to the progressive Western World, not a simple neutral cultural element.

April 13, 2011

On April 12, 1961, Soviet cosmonaut lifted off on, the first human spaceflight in history, completing one orbit of the Earth in just under two hours. Tuesday marks the anniversary of Gagarin's flight and fifty years of.

Celebrations were to take place all over the world and aboard the International Space Station. , started in 2001 for fortieth anniversary celebrations, is a global celebration of the history of spaceflight, including the first on April 12, 1981, the twentieth anniversary of Gagarin's flight. There were to be more than 400 events in 71 countries celebrating Yuri's Night this year.

The crew on board the International Space Station (ISS) also marked the fiftieth anniversary by delivering a message from space. While addressing viewers, station commander referred to the portrait of Gagarin floating next to him as a representation of the achievement of "humankind at large".

A movie, entitled , was filmed in parts in space when the orbit of the ISS matched that of Gagarin's flight. The movie, produced by filmmaker Christopher Riley, was filmed by ESA astronaut and matches the radio communications, times, and views of the flight. The film is freely available to the public and made its debut on Tuesday to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of the human race becoming a space-faring species.

Ohio executes two-time murderer

April 13, 2011 Ohio inmate Clarence Carter, 49, was executed on Tuesday for  beating  to death  a fellow prisoner in a jail house argument over what to watch on TV, the third inmate to be executed this year by  the state.

He died at 10:25 a.m. by at the, the second inmate in the U.S. executed using  the  surgical sedative   as a stand-alone execution drug. He had been scheduled to die in 2007, but a lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of lethal injection prevented his death sentence from being carried out at the time.

Carter was incarcerated at the Hamilton County Jail Annex in, Ohio,  awaiting sentencing for the  aggravated murder of Michael Hadnot, when he beat fellow inmate Johnny Allen in December 1988. Allen was jailed on a theft charge. Investigators said Carter beat, kicked, and chocked Allen over a 25 minute period. Carter had punched Allen earlier that month in a  dispute over a TV channel. Allen died two weeks later from his injuries.

Prison officials reported that Carter was calm and seemed in  good spirits the day before,  visiting with his brother,  his lawyers and two imams. He was reported to have eaten dates and tuna sandwiches as his last meal before being escorted to the execution chamber.

In the execution chamber he apologized to the family of his victim, stating, "I'd like to say I'm sorry for what I did, especially to his mother. I ask God for forgiveness and them for forgiveness."

Carter knelt and prayed briefly just before the execution.

His brother and a lawyer witnessed the execution on his behalf. No members of the victim's family were there.

Only two media representatives attended the execution, the lowest number since Ohio resumed the death penalty in 1999; five people protested  outside the prison walls.

Thread:Comments:France first to enforce burqa ban/Comments from feedback form - "The law does not ban the relig..."

The law does not ban the religious Muslim veil specifically. The ban is on anything which may fully cover one's face making it impossible for them to be identified. Hence, burqa, niqab and military-like full face hoods are banned. In addition, this article would show less of a point of view if it were clearly state that the arrested people were only arrested because their protestation was not official. In France, you can protest as much as you'd like, but you must "declare" it first at the town hall.

Let me also add that the law does allow people to wear full face covered dressing (such as burqa and scarf) near a religious place like a mosque, a temple or a cemetery.

Last but not least, people fully covering their faces will not only be brought to the police station for identification, but will also have to pay a 150 €uro fine.

This law is not only an equalization law between men and women of all religions, it also allows police to arrest hooligans who often venture around legal protests but break everything in their path. These same hooligans may also be arrested in subway stations before they commit crimes.

No matter how many benefits this law bring to our modern society, one must admit is will be very difficult to apply.

Mubarak arrested in Egypt ahead of corruption probe

April 13, 2011 Hosni Mubarak, the ousted president of Egypt, who was last night taken to hospital after a heart attack, has been detained by prosecutors in the country ahead of a corruption probe. Egyptian officials allege Mubarak was involved in corruption and killings while he was in office.

The prosecutor general confirmed Mubarak and his two sons, and, had been detained for 15 days in the early hours of this morning. The former president, from power in February following  widespread protests across the country, remains in hospital after suffering a heart attack while being questioned by Egyptian officials yesterday. Mubarak was summoned to face questions before Egyptian officials on Sunday over allegations of while he was in power and claims he ordered security forces to fire on anyone protesting against him. Sources say he suffered a heart attack while being interrogated by Egyptian prosecutors, and was taken to hospital in the coastal city of, where he has been living since resigning. He arrived at the hospital in an armored car and flanked by heavy protection, according to two sources in the city, which lies on the coast of the.

Outside the hospital, thousands of people gathered to demand Mubarak stand trial for ordering security forces to fire on protesters during the popular uprising earlier this year, when 800 people were killed. As Gamal and Alaa were driven away in a police van the crowd pelted the vehicle with stones, water bottles and shoes. Thousands more have gathered in in the capital, Cairo, in the past few days demanding Mubarak be tried for his alleged crimes.

Mubarak has robustly denied the allegations of corruption and killings during his administration. Shortly before he was ordered for questioning on Sunday, the television station  broadcast an audio message from the former leader, in which he said he would defend himself against what he termed an "unjust" campaign of "distortions, lies and incitement" against him. He claimed his enemies were systematically aiming to "tarnish my reputation and discredit my integrity," and said he would legally fight those who "engaged in lies and distortions against me."

Thread:Comments:Crisis at stricken Japan nuclear plant escalates to level of Chernobyl; six killed in aftershock/Headline

I feel the headline is a tad misleading, it could make it seem that six people have died in an explosion at the plant whereas they died in an unrelated incident in the mudslide.

This did unfortunately make me feel that the article was trying to be like the tabloids. linking in basically unrelated stories of death from the tsunamis in order to increase the perception of absolute carnage at the power plant even though it is absent.

What would have been good is if an investigation in to this severity scale had been conducted. A scale of seven seems very inadequate to me for something so serious and the fact the actual volume of radioactive materials in fukujima is a tenth of chernobyl suggest that the scale is meaningless if they're both rated a seven!

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.

Thread:Comments:Mubarak refused permission to leave Egypt for treatment after heart attack/Mumbarak one slippery guy...

Did Mumbarak REALLY have a heart attack or was the idea of going to jail for his Criminal Dictatorship a little to scary for him to deal with ?. It sounds a little fishy and too convenyent if you ask me, skipping out to Germany would surely get him off the hook, I don't think people should suffer and it seems SAD to me that the hospital they took him to, had to close its doors to regular people and only admit emergencies because this man is there , strange how we have to protect the people who have treated there own people so poorly. I have a friend in Egypt and she has talked to me through the revolution and it has been VERY difficult for her and her family and I don't think they would close a Hospital for her or anyone in her family for any reason...equality for ALL ..peace

Kentucky lawmaker in critical condition after fight in high school cafeteria

April 16, 2011

One of Kentucky's newest state lawmakers, who also serves as a high school teacher, sustained a critical head injury Tuesday morning while intervening to break up a fight between two students in the school's cafeteria.

State Representative DeWayne Bunch, 49, was listed in "extremely critical" condition when he was taken to the Baptist Regional Medical Center in , immediately following the fight between two male teens.

Bunch was reported as being unconscious and bleeding from the ears when emergency responders arrived at Whitley County High School.

The fight, between a fifteen- and sixteen-year-old, was caught by a surveillance camera which showed Bunch being punched by the sixteen-year-old, according to the sheriff. It is not clear what started the fight, which took place in the school's cafeteria during breakfast.

The teens have been charged with one count of first-degree and two counts of third-degree assault. They are both in custody at a juvenile detention center according to the sheriff.

Bunch was later transported to Medical Center in. His family has requested no information be publicly released about his condition.

Senior U.S. aviation official resigns after crisis in control towers termed 'unacceptable'

April 15, 2011

, the head of air traffic organization at the, has resigned after , the United States transport secretary, said he was "totally outraged" as it emerged five have been suspended this year for falling asleep while on duty. In one incident, two passenger jets landed without any guidance from the control tower at in Washington D.C. after the lone controller fell asleep.

"I am totally outraged by these incidents," LaHood said. "This is absolutely unacceptable. The American public trusts us to run a safe system," he added, vowing to do anything necessary to resolve the issue. His comments came as the FAA announced new plans to tackle fatigue in controllers, saying they were taking immediate steps to employ additional staff at 27 airports across the U.S. The FAA said it would "not tolerate" controllers falling asleep on duty. "This type of unprofessional behavior does not meet our high safety standards," a spokesperson said.

Krakowski's resignation will likely be seen as an indication that the crisis in control towers across the U.S. is growing. , the administrator of the FAA, confirmed Krakowski had submitted his resignation, which had accepted. "Over the last few weeks we have seen examples of unprofessional conduct on the part of a few individuals that have rightly caused the traveling public to question our ability to ensure their safety," he said. "This conduct must stop immediately. I am committed to maintaining the highest level of public confidence and that begins with strong leadership." Babbitt said the FAA was conducting a "top to bottom review" air traffic control procedures.

A fifth controller was suspended this week after falling asleep while on duty at in Nevada in the early hours of this morning, forcing an  carrying a patient to land without directions from the tower. The FAA said the flight crew made contact with a controller at a different facility and made a safe landing. "The controller, who was out of communication for approximately 16 minutes, has been suspended while the FAA investigates," a spokesperson said. The incident is the latest in a string of controllers falling asleep on duty. Last month two passenger jets landed safely in Washington D.C. without clearance to do so because they were unable to make contact with any controllers in the tower at the airport. It emerged the only controller in the tower had fallen asleep after working four nights in a row. In February, a controller at in Tennessee allegedly deliberately went to sleep while on duty. The controllers involved in both incidents have been suspended by the FAA. Additionally, the FAA is investigating two other incidents, one of which took place when a controller fell asleep at in April. It is understood the same controller was already being investigated after falling asleep twice in one night in January. Two controllers were also suspended late last month when they both appeared to fall asleep.

The, a representing controllers in the U.S., said safety was their members' "number one priority" and they were "fully committed to providing the safest and most professional services possible." The addition of new staff at control towers, they said, was "a strong first step that will go a long way to ensuring these isolated cases of fatigue never happen again." , the president of the NATCA, said: "We take our responsibilities very seriously and believe staffing levels and fatigue are at the root of the problem. We will continue to work with the FAA and through our professional standards workgroup to provide the highest level of professionalism and safety."

There are some critical parts of the government that simply should never be under-staffed nor over-worked. Tadpole256 (talk) 21:09, 13 April 2011 (UTC)

Working between midnight and 4am is a problem because the circadian rythms are totally disrupted. There is a greater risk of cancers in people who regularly work those hours. There is no easy solution. Nolween (talk) 14:07, 15 April 2011 (UTC)

makes me think twice before going for a visit to the USA.

I hope the government doesn't follow its usual procedure of firing everybody involved instead of actually fixing the problem...

Barry Bonds guilty of obstruction

April 14, 2011 Barry Bonds, a United States baseball player, has been found guilty of one count of obstructing justice for giving an evasive answer to a federal grand jury under oath  when asked whether he had ever received drugs necessitating a syringe.

The judge declared a mistrial on three other  obstruction of justice counts, the three charges that Bonds made false statements when he said to a grand jury in December 2003 that he never knowingly used steroids or human growth hormones given to him by  his personal trainer, and that he permitted only doctors to give him injections.

The charge that Bonds was convicted of does not mention steroids.

The conviction comes after a seven year prosecution of Bonds, stemming from the investigation of  Bay Area Laboratory Co-Operative (BELCO) begun in 2002. Bonds appeared in an advertisement for BELCO which was reportedly selling designer steroids and other drug paraphernalia to professional athletes. Thirty athletes were called to answer questions before the grand jury. Bonds had been given immunity for his testimony.

"This case is about upholding one of the most fundamental principles in our system of justice—the obligation of every witness to provide truthful and direct testimony in judicial proceedings," said federal prosecutor Melinda Haag. "In the United States, taking an oath and promising to testify truthfully is a serious matter. We cannot ignore those who choose instead to obstruct justice. We will decide whether to seek a retrial of the defendant on the remaining counts as soon as possible."

Thread:Comments:France first to enforce burqa ban/Why always object the Hijaab Burqa or nakaab why should not object the Jesus Sisters which also wear the almost same clothes.

Question: What is the difference between Iran and France? Answer: Nothing! They both suppress freedom of speech/freedom of expression.

Question: But I thought the reason we had secular states was so that people could freely express their views. Everyone has different views, dont they? Answer: Secularism will allow you to express your views only if it is against religion.

Question: But what about the people who believe in god sincerely. Are they allowed to express their faith freely? Answer: NO! We live in a secular state and you will do as we say. You have to OBEY the laws. No freedom of expression for you!

Question: So that makes secularism as bad as religion, doesnt it? Answer: You are asking too many questions. Shut up before I convince everybody you are the enemy. This is reality of freedom in france...
