Large scale gene transfer between single-celled and multicellular organisms reported

September 4, 2007 Wolbachia has on some occasions inserted almost its entire genome into species that it infects, reported scientists at the J. Craig Venter Institute and the University of Rochester. This is the first example of large-scale horizontal gene transfer between single-celled and multicellular organisms. Although horizontal gene transmission is common among single-celled organisms, it is rare among multicellular organisms, and large scale transfer like that of an entire genome had previously not been suspected.

The scientists found that in addition to Wolbachia engaging in almost complete genome transfer into Drosophila ananassae, it also had made significant transfer in 3 other insects species and 4 species of nematodes. The researchers found candidate species by scanning genetic databases for sequences found in Wolbachia. The scientists also found that these added sections were conserved by reproduction; that is the added sections stayed in the genomes after multiple generations. Moreover, there is evidence that suggests that the segments of Wolbachia's genome increased the reproductive fitness of the insect species.

The transfers likely occurred during attempts at DNA repair in which the repair mechanisms incorporated Wolbachia DNA (available since the cells were infected with Wolbachia) into the genomes. These results could have major implications for understanding of evolution. The research also has implications for various forms of sequencing research, since when sequencing species, bacteria sequences are frequently ignored as they are generally assumed to be contaminants rather than good data.

Wolbachia, a genus of bacteria that normally infects arthropods, especially insects, is already known for its odd behavior that can affect species in strange ways. For example, Wolbachia has been shown to be correlated with fast evolution among species it infects and is suspected for being responsible for a variety of speciation events as a side effect of Wolbachia creating reproductive barriers. Wolbachia by some estimates infects more than half of all arthropods and is already thought to play a major role in the evolution and speciation of many invertebrates.

Since Wolbachia can generally only reproduce through females, it has adopted a number of strategies that treat males and females of species differently that can result in reproductive barriers. These strategies include killing of males, forced parthenogenesis, and preventing infected males from reproducing with uninfected females.

Comments:Adventurer Steve Fossett missing

Comments
I have heard by other reports that he was out in the Bellanca scouting for dry lake beds....relating to a possible future venture with a land speed record attempt. If this can be confirmed, it might suggest that he, indeed, had a very large flat place on which to land.

More information on such a sites--and how near they are to the airport of origination might be very useful.

Further information about the plane, such as that it is capable of around 150 mph would be appropriate information, as well.

207.178.98.118 03:45, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

In my opinion, he is dead; we'll find his body in a few days. Sounds just like the Kennedy thing. Unsigned.

If it was a crash, his emergency transmitter would have indicated his position. Most likely, it's an "unplanned field landing due to technical issues", and, much like Branson said, he is just waiting by his aircraft for a ride home. Unsigned.

Hang in there, Steve. We'll find you or you will find us. Joefaust 11:43, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

How long could someone survive in the desert without food or water? Even assuming the best, it doesn't sound hopeful.

71.60.139.201 06:06, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

There are also poor people missing, why aren't we looking for them. If Steve appears to be dead his relatives could rise a fund for missing people who can not afford planes and helicopters.

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 Elena. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Elena~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 23:16, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

New Zealand's anti-spam legislation kicks in – exclusive report

September 5, 2007

Freelance journalist, Gabriel Pollard, spoke to Joe Stewart and David Farrar about the new anti-spam legislation in New Zealand that comes into effect today. Joe Stewart is the Unit Manager of the Department of Internal Affairs new Anti-Spam Compliance Unit, and David Farrar is Chair of InternetNZ’s Public Policy Committee, who also had significant input into the final bill.

Keith Norris, CEO of the New Zealand Marketing Association, didn't respond to multiple requests for an interview.

The anti-spam legislation, or the Unsolicited Electronic Messages Act 2007, promotes spam education and awareness and will enable international agencies to work together to share information and will enable cross-border pursuit of serious law breakers. And it doesn't just cover e-mail spam, but all electronic messaging such as SMS/text messaging, etc.

However, New Zealand isn't the most up-to-date country with implementing similar legislation, Farrar says, “We are in fact almost the last country in the OECD to have such legislation.” He urges Eastern Europe and China to take part in the fight against spam.

Stewart said that the new law would only help combat a small amount of spam, as 99%-99.9% of all spam received originates from overseas. He says the legislation alone will not solve the problem.

As well as it helping to fight New Zealand-sourced spam and preventing New Zealand from “becoming a haven for spammers”, it will promote good practices within the e-marketing community, Stewart said.

The new Act will affect legitimate marketers in New Zealand by making sure they have expressed or inferred consent to continue sending marketing messages to people on their database. Inferred consent is where the marketers have the e-mail address and send messages to those on their database, but didn't get expressed consent to send messages. Stewart does issue a warning against using inferred consent saying, “They may have been sending these people messages for years, but this does not establish consent.”

A surge in emails has also been felt with companies/marketers making sure they have consent to continue the e-mails and asking those to confirm they wish to continue their subscription.

“However, many marketers are already fulfilling these requirements because they are standard good e-marketing practice,” Stewart said.

Due to legislative requirements, as well as having consent, businesses will have to provide details about the company sending the item, and provide a free way to unsubscribe from future mailings.

Those found breaking these requirements deliberately could find themselves facing a personal fine of up to NZ$200,000. Organisations could face a fine of up to $500,000. Farrar said, “Experience from Australia shows most cases are dealt with by way of education.”

Farrar also gives a final piece of advice to those annoyed with spam levels, “Never ever respond to a spam e-mail, and only give your real address out to people you trust.”

Talk:New Zealand's anti-spam legislation kicks in – exclusive report

Reporting notes
The raw e-mails I conducted with Joe Stewart and David Farrar are available below. Put all other comments, etc ABOVE this. --Nzgabriel | Talk 08:00, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

Joe Stewart
Do you believe this law will really help combat spam coming out from New Zealand? What are the benefits?

This new legislation will help combat spam coming out from New Zealand but alone it will not solve the spam problem (especially as 99% of spam received in NZ originates from overseas).

The Unsolicited Electronic Messages Act 2007 is part of a five-pronged approach to tackle spam in NZ. This includes:

* Promoting spam education and awareness * Facilitating industry liaison * Monitoring emerging technologies * Working with international agencies.

The Act will enable us to fight New Zealand-sourced spam and enter into international agreements concerning international enforcement of anti-spam legislation, sharing information between national enforcement agencies, and the pursuit of cross-border complaints concerning spam.

The legislation will also help to prevent New Zealand becoming a haven for spammers and promote good e-marketing practice within New Zealand.

How will this effect legit marketers in New Zealand?

Marketers in New Zealand will need ensure they meet the requirements of the Unsolicited Electronic Messages Act 2007. This means ensuring they: send commercial electronic messages only to people who have consented to receiving them; identify the business responsible for sending the message and how they can be contacted; include a free unsubscribe facility.

However, many marketers are already fufilling these requirements because they are standard good e-marketing practice.

The biggest impact will be on those organisations who have 'legacy' databases where the people listed have never actually given consent to receive electronic messages. They may have been sending these people messages for years, but this does not establish consent. Organisations have to contact their customers prior to September 5 asking them to opt in should they wish to continue receiving the messages.

The Marketing Association have been actively promoting best marketing practice for some time now and have various guides available from their own web site at www.marketing.org.nz

What is required of marketers so they fall inside the law when sending e-mails, etc?

There are three steps to follow. As discussed in more detail above these are 1) consent, 2) identify, 3) unsubscribe. There is also more detail in our business guide (plus examples) at http://www.antispam.govt.nz/Pubforms.nsf/URL/BusinessGuide.pdf/$file/BusinessGuide.pdf

David Farrar
-Original Message- [not disclosed]

Hi David,

Here are the questions I would like you to answer for the anti-spam legislation set to kick in on the fifth of September.

What role, if any, did you play in the anti-spam legislation?

InternetNZ lobbied for legislation to be introduced from about 2003, and the two major people involved were myself and Pegasus Mail creator David Harris. We held two public seminars on proposed spam legislation, and had significant input into the bill. We also proposed some enhancement to the select committee, almost all of which were reflected in the final law.

What are the penalties for those who break the law, either willingly or unwillingly? Will is be easy to track down and prosecute offenders?

The maximum penalties are $200,000 for individuals and $500,000 for organizations. These would only apply to deliberate repeat spammers. Experience from Australia shows most cases are dealt with by way of education.

NZ based spammers are fairly easy to track down. Overseas spammers who make up 99.9% of spam are more difficult to track down, but now we have an enforcement agency we will be able to work with other enforcement agencies in trying to track the worst offenders down.

How much spam will this effect?

The overall level of spam will not be affected by the law change. It will however stop spammers from moving operations to NZ, and as I said allow for international agencies to target the worst overseas spammers.

What other countries have similar legislation, how does our legislation compare to theirs, and do you advocate other countries bring in similar legislation that have not already?

We are in fact almost the last country in the OECD to have such legislation. It is important other countries, especially Eastern Europe and China, introduce similar legislation.

Do you have any tips for e-mail users wishing to receive less spam?

Never ever respond to a spam e-mail, and only give your real address out to people you trust.

DPF

German police arrest three in imminent terrorist plot

September 5, 2007 Three Islamic militants were arrested by German police in Oberschloedorn, Germany, a remote village located north of Frankfurt. The suspects who had been trained in Pakistan belong to the so-called Jihad-Union. They are also reported as having strong links to Al Qaeda.

Two of the suspects were German citizens and one was a Turkish resident of Germany. They were found in possession of 1,500 pounds of hydrogen peroxide, which was the main chemical used in suicide bombings in London in July of 2005. One of the suspects was supposedly willing to commit a suicide attack.

“They were planning massive attacks,” the German federal prosecutor, Monika Harms, said at a news conference, outlining a vast six-month investigation. The targets of the attacks were thought to include places used by Americans, such as the Frankfurt international airport, and the U.S. Air Force Base at Ramstein.

The plot was thought to have been planned to occur next week, 6 years after the September 11 tragedy.

(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! irid:t 15:52, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

el Calatravazo de México: arquitectura vs política
Ferrán Bono,

Felicidades por tu carrera periodística. Y precisamente busco experiencia en el tema que titula este mensaje para poner a tu consideración un caso similar al de Calatrava, pero en este caso se trata de un atentado a la obra y autoría del arquitecto Teodoro González de León en Querétaro.

Te adjuntaría la información e imágenes que están a punto de romper en noticia en México, pero creo que este medio no es el adecuado. ¿Tienes un sitio o correo más seguro donde pueda mandarte tales evidencias?

Avísame. Gracias.

Source of UK foot-and-mouth outbreak discovered

September 5, 2007

The source of a recent outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease in Surrey, UK has been discovered by investigators at the Pirbright laboratory where investigations began in August. The Health and Safety Executive informed the BBC that they had pinpointed the source to possible biosecurity lapses in a pipe near the laboratory. It is thought that the pipe, which runs between the site and a government-run laboratory, may have been damaged by tree roots.

Recent flooding in the area may have brought the virus to the surface, but it is not yet known how the virus arrived on nearby farmland. The Health and Safety Executive, however, confirmed that vehicles from the Pirbright laboratory had used a road adjoining to the farmland where the outbreak was found.

Neither Merial, the pharmaceutical company who own the Pirbright laboratory, or the government have claimed ownership of the pipe, but Merial have refused to comment before a full report has been published.

Wikinews:10,000 articles and counting

This page is for collecting information relevant to the press release that Sandra Ordonez, Wikimedia Foundation Communications Manager, will be sending out. This page should include facts, and a release shouldn't be drafted here.
 * In January 2003 Wikinews was first proposed by an anonymous IP address as "Wikews"
 * In January 2004 discussion was stale for a few months Erik Möller, who later became founder of the website, changed the name idea to Wikinews and started discussions about the idea
 * In April 2004 Möller registered the domain name wikinews.org
 * In May 2004 the Wikinews concept was revealed in his electorial platform for the Board of the Wikimedia Foundation (See paragrath 5)
 * In June 2004 at the Wizards of OS conference Möller and Wikipedia founder Jimbo Wales discussed the creation of Wikinews
 * In October 2004 Möller implemented policy pages, organised the website, and got things up and running
 * In November 2004 the English Wikinews was initiated
 * Every article had to be reviewed by another editor before it was published
 * In November Wikinews was edited by an American freelance journalist named David Speakman, who left Wikinews He is now a law student
 * Confounding Robert McHenry ever since his derogatory description of the project as, "Above all, the central question about the Wikinews effort is its credibility. Making a newspaper is hard...Someone who wants to do it but doesn't really know how hasn't solved the problem by gathering a lot of other people who don't know, either."
 * In November 2005, two years after the edit which started a website (Wikinews) that would later change the definition of citizen journalism, was claimed by Wikipedia user Fonzy
 * In July 2007, Wikinews did an investigation concerning Chris Benoit and his family. The investigation was later published on CNN, Fox News, and several local sources.

 * See: User:Eloquence/History for more information.

 * some statistics :

http://stats.wikimedia.org/wikinews/EN/TablesWikipediaEN.htm http://s23.org/wikistats/wikinews_html.php

Notable articles

 * Many of the hot topics that have come up on Wikinews have turned the site into a hub for the latest information on a subject. The death of Chris Benoit and family just looked like another ordinary day story until someone from over on Wikipedia pointed out that there were mysterious edits on Wikipedia. With mainstream journalists not knowing the inner workings of a Wiki, Wikinews was the place to get the details.

 * Early December 2005 saw a disaster in the UK, in parallel with updates to Wikipedia's article on the Buncefield accident the Wikinews article was updated hundreds of times with a horde of UK people keeping the information up to the minute.

 * On July 7, 2005, Wikinews recieved exclusive coverage of the London Bombings and was one of the only websites with pictures of the bomb site entirely from citizens, not knowing that one day their camera or camera phone would just come in handy. Wikinews users from the UK watched TV, listened to the radio, and did as much as they could to make this the best article on Wikinews. On March 19, 2006, it was nominated for featured article and passed. On Google the second search result, after Wikinews' main page, is the London Bombings story. This article, by far, proves itself as the most read and best written article ever created on Wikinews.

 * February 2006 saw Wikinews doing all the investigation the mainstream media couldn't... Wikinews investigates Wikipedia usage by U.S. Senate staff members, that's currently a particularly relevant topic because our investigation and the coverage of what we reported inspired Virgil Griffith to develop the WikiScanner, which lead to us investigating what the media had been up to. Fox didn't do too well.

Apple announces new iPod range

September 5, 2007 Apple have released several re-designs of their popular iPod range. In addition to the iPod Classic, Nano and Shuffle, they have announced the brand new iPod touch, a media player which mimics the iPhone's touch-screen capabilities.

The new iPod Classic design features a larger memory space of up to 160GB or 40,000 songs, and has a new all-metal design. The iPod nano is now smaller and squarer, adding video playback to its features for the first time. The 4GB model is cheaper than its predecessor at $149/£99, but the 8GB is available in five colours at $199/£129. The iPod Shuffle is identical in design to the previous model, but is now available in a new range of five colours, with the same price of $79/£49.

The iPod touch also features in-built wi-fi technology, enabling users to access the internet and download music from Apple's market-leading on line iTunes music store to their handset. It was announced that Starbucks would offer free wi-fi access to all users of the iPod touch in its cafes. The screen layout, similar to that of the iPhone, offers access to music, video, photos and the iTunes store. There are currently two models, at 8GB and 16GB of memory capacity.

Apple CEO Steve Jobs also announced that the price of Apple's iPhone, currently only on sale in the US, will be cut by $200 to $399. He described the new iPod range as 'one of the seven wonders of the world'.

Ousted PM Thaksin bemoans freezing of Swiss assets

September 6, 2007 Following on from the seizure of US$1.5 billion in former Thailand Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra's Thai bank accounts, the ousted PM is claiming assets in Swiss bank accounts have been frozen.

When queried, the Swiss embassy in Bangkok said that there had been no request for an asset freeze, and that such action would only take place in the event of a successful prosecution.

Thaskin was removed from power in September, 2006 by Thailand's military in a bloodless coup and was accused of corruption. Aside from having his Thai accounts frozen, Thaskin is the subject of arrest warrants in Thailand for "official misconduct"; charges that he denies. "Neither my family nor I has done anything illegal," Thaskin said in a newspaper interview. "It is defamation."

On the reputation of Swiss banking discretion, Thaskin was critical. "Good old bank secrecy is no more," he commented. "Absolute discretion is a thing of the past."

The ex-premier currently resides in the United Kingdom where he has purchased Manchester City football club for £81 million.

British student walks free, after putting feet on trainseat

September 5, 2007

19-year-old Kathleen Jennings walked free from court today after getting an absolute discharge from her court case. The teen was taken to court by train operator Merseyrail after being caught with her feet on a chair.

The teen wept as she left court as a conviction would have shattered her dream of becoming a teacher but the absolute discharge means that no conviction or other penalty will be imposed and the attempted prosecution will have no affect on her criminal record.

Merseyrail is the only British train operator to prosecute for this offence and most others only impose a fine after repeat offences, however their "zero tolerance" policy has resulted in over 250 people being taken to court by the operator with another 800 thought to come.

Merseyrail said in a statement: "We do not regard our campaign as Draconian. We are responding to the demands of passengers who don't want to sit on a seat covered in mud or dirt, and the campaign has received widespread messages of support from passengers throughout the country.

"Putting feet on seats is antisocial and there are plenty of warnings on our network against this behaviour and the consequences of doing so."

Toy maker Mattel recalls more products

September 5, 2007

Toy manufacturer Mattel announced today that they are recalling more products over fears of dangerous levels of lead in the toy's paint. This soft, but heavy and poisonous metal can be fatal when there is more than 10 μg/dL in the blood.

The 800,000 toys have been recalled over safety fears and are thought to be mostly Barbie products. This recall has increased the concern over the safety of the Chinese production process. The lead paint was traced to an un-authorised producer and that firm was closed down, however the most recent source has not yet been located.

Chinese production accounts for almost 65% of Mattel's overall production. Mattel is considered as one of the most stringent producers in the market however their reputation is in danger. Toys that are currently being produced are being packaged ready for the Christmas rush, however there are fears that if these are recalled then there will be a Christmas shortage.

Search for Steve Fossett continues

September 5, 2007 The search has today continued for adventurer Steve Fosset, 63, who went missing recently after his plane went missing in the US. He was last seen in his single engined plane at an airfield in Nevada. His plane is thought to have come down in densely wooded land to the south of the airfield.

The tracking beacon signals in the rescue kit of the plane have not been located however the rescue effort has been continuing by the use of many planes and thermal imaging cameras.

Close friend Sir Richard Branson has not yet given up hope, however rescuers have been describing the task as "like finding a needle in a haystack".

Steve is well known for his record attempts including becoming the first person to fly round the world in a hot air balloon.

English Wikinews publishes 10000th article

September 7, 2007

The English Wikinews, a collaborative citizen journalism site, published its 10,000th news story today at around 06:56, 7 September 2007 UTC. The 10000th story was entitled Australian comedians "could have been shot" during APEC prank, a follow-up story on Australian TV show The Chaser breaches APEC security; 11 charged. The article was created by accredited Wikinews reporter Nathan Carter from Bathurst, Australia, under his username Cartman02au.

The countdown by Wikinews members has been happening for several weeks, and the site administrators thanked all contributors with the message "Thanks for supporting Wikinews for 10,000 articles and counting!", which displays on top of all pages.

The closest other Wikinews projects are the German Wikinews, with approximately 6383 articles, and the Polish Wikinews with 5211 articles. Wikinews has projects in 22 different languages, which totals 40,897 articles.

Wikinews, a sister project of the collaborative free online encyclopedia Wikipedia, has been described in many articles by mainstream media as the most extreme form of citizen journalism, allowing readers to write and edit the news content. In contrast to other citizen journalism websites such as OhMyNews and Indymedia, Wikinews articles adhere to the neutral point of view policy.

In the group of projects run by the Wikimedia Foundation which controls Wikipedia and Wikinews, the latter is the only project that allows original reporting, an aspect that is actually discouraged on other projects. Wikinews has some 25 active accredited reporters who have produced a variety of highly local news and interviews, for example with UK politician Tony Benn. Some articles are about Wikipedia, for example the recent reporting on the anonymous post to the Chris Benoit article which seemed to predict the death of his wife Nancy. Most articles on Wikinews however are summary articles based on published news sources.

In the Wikimedia family, Wikinews has been one of the slowest growing members. Several factors contribute to this, including the popularity of Wikipedia and the fact that Wikipedia also has articles on current events and even a current events portal.

Wikinews moved out of its test phase in December 2004. The previous milestone was the 5000th article on April 29, 2006.

Wikinews articles can be used, and have been used, by others under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution 2.5 license.

Talk:English Wikinews publishes 10000th article

Original reporting notes
Info from [ history of 10000th article], Special:Newpages, Special:Statistics, and the topic of #wikinews on freenode. TheFearow 23:11, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

Editorial?
This is completely meta, and shouldn't be published. It'd be good to spread to things like the Wikipedia Signpost, WikiZine, Village Pumps, Meta-Wiki, etc., but this should not be published here. It's too much "tooting our own horn". Ral315 (talk) 04:20, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
 * I completely agree. I'm very proud of us having reached 10K articles, but I don't think we should have a real article like this.  If necessary add a section to the main page to showcase our accomplishments and to celebrate but let's make it clear this is not part of the "news". -- IlyaHaykinson 04:22, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
 * I'll make it local only, so its published but not main page, or any of those sorts of places. TheFearow 04:40, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
 * How often do we "toot our own horn?" Not a lot if ever. So I think this would be a great story. I disagree that it should be local only or that it should not be on the main page...why not? DragonFire1024 (Talk to the Dragon) 04:57, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, my point is that we should not have it part of the normal news flow... and instead have it in some special area, and in the Wikinews namespace, perhaps. Sort of like a "letter from the editor" section in a newspaper: they don't try to make it seem like it's a normal news article. -- IlyaHaykinson 05:00, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
 * This is meant to be a NPOV news article on us. No harm in that. TheFearow 05:53, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

There was a discussion on IRC, I think we should be able to publish something like this. There is no formal policy against it, we publish news from Wikipedia so why not this. Several people on IRC thought it shouldn't be published. --Steven Fruitsmaak (Reply) 08:48, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

You may want less bread and circuses on the front page if there is a mention of this in the Wikipedia Signpost to prevent hundreds of new pokeman news stories. -- Jeandré, 2007-09-06t13:41z
 * Oh noes! not the Pokemon hordes. :) If I can deal with one of them in my house, then I'm sure Wikinews can deal with all of them between us. --Brian McNeil / talk 13:47, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

 * For the record I think this is tooting our own horn a bit (which we do more than other projects in general imo). Something like this should be a press release or a letter from the editor as Ilya suggested. Bawolff ☺☻ 23:40, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

10,000th?
There are 10,004 pages in the main namespace. 13 of these are still in development, so we don't have our 10,000th published article. --Brian McNeil / talk 08:04, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Then the count should take that into consideraton. DragonFire1024 (Talk to the Dragon) 08:12, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

Proton rocket fails during launch of JCSAT-11 satellite

September 5, 2007 A Proton rocket which was intended to launch the JCSAT-11 satellite into a geostationary transfer orbit lifted off and successfully completed its first stage burn, but the second stage failed leading to loss of the rocket and satellite.

The launch vehicle was a Proton M booster with a Breeze M upper stage. More than 300 Proton rockets have been launched, all from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. Following the launch failure, Kazakhstan suspended the launch of Proton rockets from Baikonur, Interfax news agency reported.

JSAT Corporation immediately placed an order with Lockheed Martin, the satellite manufacturer, for an identical replacement satellite based on the A2100AX design.

Failure investigation
A Russian State Commission will be responsible for determining the cause of the failure. In addition, a Failure Review Oversight Board will review the commission's final report and corrective action plan in accord with U.S. and Russian government export control regulations, International Launch Services, the launch service provider, said.

Environmental concern
The propellants used by the rocket are highly toxic. Possible environmental contamination at the crash site is a particular concern, an insurance company spokesman said. The rocket came down in the central Kazakh steppe, 50 kilometers (30 miles) southeast of the town of Dzhezkazgan, and a team has been sent there to determine the extent of any pollution.

Comments:German police arrest three in imminent terrorist plot

Give it up for the German police! I am glad to know that Europeans also fight against the terrorists, since so many of them seem to support them. Contralya 01:12, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

 * Yes, we love them terrorists over here. Give me a terrorist and I'll kiss 'm on his cute hairy nose. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO WOOO GO TERRORISTS wooooooo. Now, excuse me while I go organise a suicide-bombers-you're-so-awesome-parade. 134.58.253.57 08:57, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

My experence living in Germany was that bureaucratic stuff was quite efficent & effective, and this presumably extends to the police. Otoh the U.S. rarely ever catches these sorts of people, just places silly restrictions on airtravel to make people feel better about their failures. Nyarlathotep 17:21, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

Well, government agencies follow leads and lead investigations all of the time. I am sure they don't want people to be scared, so what you don't know almost happened won't scare you. Also, there are probably less terrorist attacks on the U.S. because they know that that won't make us pull out like it has for other nations, besides all the counter-terrorist government operations and civilian vigilance. Just because you don't hear about it doesn't mean that it doesn't happen. I remember when they cough those attempts at bombings on new-years.

Don't think that the fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan are the only battlefields in this war. Contralya 23:58, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

Comments:Student who put feet on chair walks free

is it illegal to be antisocial? or is that just policy?..??"?

I can see both sides of the issue here. Perhaps it is time train operators created footstools for passengers and anyone found sitting on them will also get taken to court?

Illiegality and over the mark
I fail to see how this can even be illegal and even just trying to prosecute these hundreds of people is stepping over the mark. A pure and simple warning or we will ban you from travelling for a few days - a week of whatever would suffice.

I would hate to see what they did with those who put gum underneath the chairs, etc! --Nzgabriel | Talk 09:32, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

that was stupid

lol
It's pretty funny.. just like boys saying don't make a mess & don't ever clean.. cuz in-fact British people just never clean anything. Nyarlathotep 17:15, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
 * You do realise that's a racist comment? --Brian McNeil / talk 18:30, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

Rediculous
Rather than paying lawyers to take these people to court, why not use that money to hire people to clean the seats... or better yet, move the seats further away so people can actually be comfortable without putting their feet on the seats!
