Clashes in Athens during Condoleezza Rice's visit to Greece

April 25, 2006 Greek leftist groups of masked youth demonstrators clashed with Greek police and riot squads in Stadiou Avenue, in Athens, during American Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice's meetings with Greek officials. Anarchist mobs hurled Molotov cocktail bombs and the police-riot squads fired tear gas. According to police information, the youths smashed some 20 store fronts and set six vehicles alight. Police had thrown a cordon around central road arteries of the city since Tuesday morning, while two street protests - organized by the KKE and Synaspismos leftist parties - were staged at Propylea on Panepistemiou Street as well as on Klafthmonos Square. Moreover, yesterday, a team of about 15 members of the Greek Communist party, climbed on the top of Athens' Concert Hall, just meters away from the U.S. Embassy, in order to hang a huge banner with the message "Condoleezza Rice go Home".

In her short stay in Greece, America's chief diplomat met with the Greek Premier Costas Karamanlis in Maximus Palace as well as with her counterpart, the Greek Foreign Minister Dora Bakoyiannis. The agenda of their discussions included Iran's nuclear program, the Greek-Turkish relations, the Cyprus and Macedonian issues as well as the co-operation between the United States and Greece.

Alabama postal workers and customers become ill, suspicious substance found

April 26, 2006

Six workers in the post office in Hueytown, Alabama developed breathing problems and 23 were sent to the hospital after a chemical used in the manufacture of fishing lures leaked from a package.

The post office, located five miles west of downtown Birmingham, Alabama, was evacuated, and Hueytown firefighters in hazardous materials attire inspected the chemical. The chemical was found to have leaked from an inadequately designed package, evaporated quickly leaving a garlicky scent, and discolored the flooring tile in the post office. Workers complained of symptoms ranging from breathing difficulties to vomiting to burning in the throat.

The chemical was later identified as "J.J.'s Magic," a yellow dye for soft plastic fishing lures which contains garlic oil as a fish attractant. The manufacturer confirmed that a two-ounce bottle of the product was sent to a customer in suburban Birmingham and speculated that the container may have cracked in transit.

Study claims recreational ecstasy use and depression unrelated

April 26, 2006

A new study published in the May 2006 issue of the Journal of Psychopharmacology and conducted at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette finds no significant link between Ecstasy (MDMA) use and depression.

A common street drug, Ecstasy is found mostly in tablet form, and often taken in a nightclub setting. Its psychological effects include making users affectionate, giving them the impression of heightened senses in response to music, and overall euphoria. Physically the drug acts as a stimulant, a mild diuretic and causes hyperthermia, which is why, in combination with physical exertion leading to perspiration, users often drink large amounts of water to prevent dehydration.

Serotonin is an important neurotransmitter, also known as 5-HT or 5-hydroxytryptamine, implicated in controlling mood. In fact, most well known anti-depressants, such as Paxil or Prozac, are believed to work by stabilizing the level of serotonin in the brain (SSRIs). Ecstasy is believed to increase the levels of serotonin because of its effects on mood. Research in lab animals has provided evidence that it causes long-term post-use serotonin depletion. A common hypothesis among many researchers is that drop in serotonin levels below normal could be recognized by a corresponding decline in mood.

Sixty-four participants took part in the study. One half of the participants between the age of 18 to 45 were obtained by word of mouth or over the Internet. The other half consisted of controls that had no experience taking ecstasy, recruited from introductory psychology classes at the university.

According to the study, participants filled out a questionnaire about their personal and drug use history. The personal history questionnaire queried the gender, age, psychiatric background, and current anti-depressant drug usage. Alternately, the drug history questionnaire explored the lifetime usage and usage habits of a wide variety of substances, including specific questions about abstinence from ecstasy and the most ecstasy taken by the participant in 12 hours.

Two tests were performed to assess psychiatric function: the Beck Depression Inventory-II(BDI-II) and the Shipley Institute of Living Scale(SILS).

The BDI-II is a 21-question self-assessment that according to many sources is empirically valid for highlighting the presence and severity of depressive symptoms, and meets the requirements of the DSM-IV, which is the standard reference that mental health professionals use to diagnose psychological disorders.

The SILS is administered to assess cognitive abilities. It was developed in 1940 as a measure of general intellectual functioning, and is still administered in its original form.

According to the study there was no significant difference in the BDI-II scores between the control and experimental groups. Furthermore, no significant correlation was found between any of the conditions of ecstasy use.

This study seems to go against the consensus that MDMA reduces serotonin levels and causes some measurable damage. However, there are other studies in the same journal that go into more detail about individual usage habits and harm reduction strategies that need to be considered alongside the data presented with this study. The study claims that when experimental groups are gathered via the Internet, they could be biased (more available information, taking less) and adopt different harm reduction strategies than average users.

However, according to Professor David Nutt at University of Bristol, one could conclude Ecstasy causes less harm, and has less societal costs than alcohol.

Talk:Study claims recreational ecstasy use and depression unrelated

The source for this story is not one that can be easily checked, and anything written based upon it requires that the author have appropriate credentials. --Brian McNeil / talk 20:49, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

 * I think the source is good and below abstract is understandable enough for laymen.

Abstract

Research in laboratory animals has shown that 3,4- methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA or ecstasy) destroys serotonergic axons in the brain at certain doses. Serotonin is known to take part in the regulation of mood in humans. Many researchers have hypothesized that if recreational ecstasy use destroys serotonergic axons, then a corresponding decline in the mood of ecstasy users should be seen. The purpose of the present study was to look at the relationship between recreational ecstasy use and depression as measured by the Beck Depression Inventory-II. No significant differences were found between Beck Depression Inventory-II scores of heavy ecstasy ecstasynaive college students. No significant relationships Beck Depression Inventory-II scores and any of use. Most ecstasy users who had been diagnosed disorder reported that being diagnosed preceded their use of ecstasy.

fwiw, this Guardian story also mentions the findings of this work. Doldrums 14:26, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

pov concerns
the may 2006 issue of the journal of psychopharmacology has published a number of articles on the effects (or lack there-) of ecstasy use, at least one of which suggest the possibility of harm from the usage"lifetime use was associated more with psychobiologial problems".

i am concerned that reporting on only one such finding, to the exclusion of others and without providing sufficient background and context (of possible ill-effects of use) is pov. i suggest moving this back to develop and adding some background, perhaps from the wikipedia articles and this "editorial"(?) on the same issue of JoP. Doldrums 14:48, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
 * You might have a point there. If it is possible to expand the article to make it better just put it in develop and fix it. This is an interesting aspect of POV. international 15:35, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
 * I added a Further Research section to try and balance the POV Andresv 18:05, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
 * As a biomedical researcher, it disheartens me to see Wikinews trumpeting the latest (provocative) research result the same way the mainstream media does. No single scientific result is to be taken in isolation. This approach reinforces the completely incorrect notion that the general public (or even a scientist) is able to read a single result and establish its importance relative to other knowledge (established theories, models, anecdotes).

 * At minimum, this article should be de-emphasized (no image box). It's old 'news.' It doesn't need a special focus box, or to be featured: provoking conversation on the matter is mostly damaging (people would confuse legalization debates with hard evidence regarding health effects) And it has way more potential to harm people than science news suggesting something IS harmful. I'm pro-legalization, and pro-recreation, but that doesn't mean this result should be used to convince people ecstacy is safe.NamfFohyr 03:11, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
 * I understand your concerns; nonetheless I believe that different views are expressed in the article. It is pointed out to the reader that this is one study, and that there are a couple of additional studies that are linked.  The reader is of course welcome to use Google and form their own opinion.  Why would you say that provoking conversation is damaging?  Provoking conversation is one of the reasons for writing articles.  If we didn’t want conversation provoked, why write?  Why report anything.  As a biomedical researcher, you know that different results from different sources need to be discussed.  This article provokes the audience to research the topic further.  Besides, there is enough science news about things being harmful.  How about a balanced view for a change? Andresv 17:37, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

Excellent comments and links
Great comments and links, they were really helpful in getting this article going. Thank you for the quick response. Andresv 15:03, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

Science?
I don't claim to be a high-up scientist in the lofty echelons of knowledgeville, but I have a question regarding the validity of the claim posed by the experiment. Its methods of information gathering were questionable, I think, because the restrictions of the ethics board would have limited a more objective search for truth; more still, the experiment itself is narrowminded in its coverage of previous contradictory findings and the progression of reason itself. It seems to me as if this experiment isn't trying to prove anything, seeing as it cannot adequately pose any sort of argument against recent theories of drug withdrawal or explain the effects we've seen in the brains of rats and primates after taking ecstacy.

Given this, I think that the problem with this article not only lies in a possibly skewed point-of-view, but also in a dangerously persuasive article suggesting that the drug is not harmful, given one odd experiment of hundreds.
 * The study claim "recreational ecstasy use", and I find this approach interresting. Usually drugissues are very black/white in comparation to alcoholissues. international 19:04, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

Allegations
This is one of many studies. Therefore, the conclusions of this can't be considered entirely factual; items like "Although this study seems to falsify the hypothesis that MDMA reduces serotonin levels and doesn't seem to cause measurable damage in context of the testing procedures used," simply aren't factual without someone stating that this study itself is completely factual, which we cannot assume. --MrMiscellanious (talk) – 20:19, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

Ecstasy is not a diuretic
Ecstasy increases levels of ADH (anti-diuretic hormone), therefore it is an anti-diuretic.

Misinterpretation of reseach report?
I have read the article on the Guillot and Greenway (2006) research report, as well as all of the discussion comments. I see many misinterpretations. A few people commented that the results of this research report stand in contrast to past research findings. Another few people commented that Guillot and Greenway imply that Ecstasy is safe and does not cause harm. This simply is not the case. Guillot and Greenway plainly admit in their introduction that both animal and human research have shown varying levels of serotonin decline due to exposure to MDMA (Ecstasy). This is a fact that is made clear. On the other hand, the evidence specifically pertaining to depressive symptoms potentially caused by Ecstasy use remains unclear. Most past studies related to this topic either have failed to produce significant findings or have used small sample sizes. Another issue is the difference between statistical and clinical significance. In other words, some studies have shown signficantly higher depression scores in Ecstasy users, but are these differences clinically meaningful? For example, when exceptionally healthy drug-free participants are used as comparison groups, it's easy to show that Ecstasy users score higher on tests of depression. On the other hand, when college students were used as a comparison group as in the Guillot and Greenway study, no sigificant difference in depression scores was seen between control participants and Ecstasy users. In fact, Ecstasy users and college students scored nearly the same on the BDI-II on average. This finding is reinforced by past studies of Ecstasy users and college students, which also have shown that both groups score about the same on tests of depression (references for these studies are cited within the Guillot and Greenway paper). Does this mean we should be particularly concerned about levels of depression in college students? Or does this perhaps highlight the notion that obtaining significant differences is partially dependent on what comparison group is used? In addition, all of the studies published thus far that have compared Ecstasy users to polydrug controls (participants matched well on drug use besides Ecstasy) have failed to find significant differences in depression scores, with the exception of two studies (de Win et al., 2004; Lamers et al., 2006). Both of these studies used small sample sizes of approximately 15 Ecstasy users in each group. Smaller sample sizes tend to be less representative of the target population, and they are therefore more prone to inaccuracy. Another point that Guillot and Greenway made that has been passed over without comment is that the phenomenon of depression is more complex than serotonin levels alone. The authors stated that it is possible that Ecstasy use indeed did cause a decline in serotonin functioning in their group of Ecstasy users, but this decline in serotonin functioning, if it did occur, may not have been sufficient to cause an increase in depression. In summary, Guillot and Greenway primarily addressed one specific area of research: the relation of Ecstasy use to depressive symptoms. In regard to that specific area of research, the studies that have been published to date have not provided adequate evidence to suggest that Ecstasy use typically causes depressive symptoms. Furthermore, other illicit drug use and pre-existing differences have not been ruled out as potential explanations. Finally, readers should not assume that Guillot and Greenway are trying to imply that Ecstasy use does not cause any kind of harm just because a relationship specifically between Ecstasy use and depression has not been established. There are plenty of other problems that might be caused by Ecstasy use besides an increase in depressive symptoms. All the authors reasonably can be expected to do is report the findings of their study and relate them to previous findings. It's up to the rest of us to interpret (or misinterpret) the data presented, and part of properly interpreting research is to not overgeneralize or oversimplify information. 65.12.39.40 00:54, 2 June 2006 (UTC)KeepingItFair

Cyclone Monica degraded

April 25, 2006

Cyclone Monica was expected to hit Darwin as a category five storm, with winds of up to 350 km/h (220 mph). But the national weather bureau downgraded it to category two on the morning of April 25, 2006, when it lost power after making landfall. Monica was a category five cyclone when it touched down in the remote Aboriginal community of Maningrida, in the Northern Territory, late on 24th night. A spokeswoman for the Northern Territory Police, Fire and Emergency Services said some parts of the area had been damaged by the storm. Maningrida "certainly suffered extensive damage to some buildings and structures," she told the Sydney Morning Herald, although no serious injuries have been reported

Tropical Cyclone Monica now poses no risk to the Northern Territory of Australia. Monica was downgraded to a tropical low, but the cyclone has the potential regroup over the warm seas north of Australia. Monica could intensify back into a category two or even three cyclone before striking the north coast of Western Australia at the NT/WA border.

Cyclone Monica hit Australia just a month after category five Cyclone Larry tore through the community of Innisfail, about 100 km (60 miles) south of Cairns. Thousands of homes were destroyed by Cyclone Larry, with a damage bill expected to top A$1bn ($707m, £405m).

"A cyclone watch is current between the Daly Mouth River right through to the Kimberley" says Ms Jenny Farlow, an NT forecaster.

Meanwhile the cyclone has hampered government efforts to crack down on illegal fishing in the Gulf of Carpentaria. Rough seas combined with busy officers have grounded the effort to a halt, and three Indonesian fishing boats in Australian waters are reported to have gone unchecked.

defence and defense
hi, thanks for ur contribs to Emergency declared in Peru as Mt. Ubinas threatens to erupt and Russian commander: Tu-160s penetrate US airspace undetected. i just want to point out that "defence" is just the british way to spell "defense" and is not an spelling error. here at wikinews, we follow the convention (from style guide) "Spelling is an issue which often becomes contentious since there are multiple contradictory standards available, for example, American and British English. On Wikinews there is no specific policy other than to use a consistent spelling pattern throughout an article. Follow the spelling patterns of the subject of the article or that of the first author of the article to avoid issues."

 * Hi!It's techincally referred to as Commonwealth English and all British Commonwealth countries use it.Hence the majority of readers are likely to be accustomed to this form of English.It's just a part of the Commonwealth culture-like driving on the left side of the road or playing cricket!But,really I don't think it's a big deal.Oh and do you think we should replace the Mt.Ubinas article with something else?Maybe the Egypt bombings?PVJ[[Image:Flag of India.svg|25px]] 11:24, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

Doh! Time to break out the British English dictionary in MS Word! Sorry for the error, I didn't notice it until I was working on the transcript and thought it was a spelling error. If it had been "armour" or "catalogue" I think I would have been OK. I'll be more aware of it in the future. dzcowart 14:09, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

Headlines
Lawsuit sends a Buffalo, N.Y. hotel proposal to the New York Supreme Court Attorney Arthur J. Giacalone has filed a lawsuit in New York Supreme Court against the city of Buffalo's Common Council and Planning board, alleging that the proposed Elmwood Village Hotel was approved "without giving meaningful consideration to either the impact on the adjoining residential neighborhood, or the unique character of this section of Elmwood Avenue."

ANZAC Day marked throughout NZ and AU ''Australians and New Zealanders throughout the world stood still and turned out in huge numbers for their national war memorial days in remembrance of the failed Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) — attack on Gallipoli, Turkey that began on 25 April 1915. The fateful attack was designed to end the First World War quicker by creating a supply line to Russia. A hundred thousand died in the battle, remembered every year as ANZAC Day by both nations.''

Russian commander states that Tu-160 bombers have penetrated US airspace undetected ''A senior Russian air force commander has claimed that new, upgraded Tu-160 bomber aircraft were unchallenged by US air defense systems when they penetrated a radar zone near the Canadian coast in US territory during an April training exercise, reports the Russian news agency RIA Novosti. Lieutenant General Igor Khvorov, Commander of Russia's long-range strategic bombers, said that the bombers successfully carried out four mock Tu-95MS cruise missile launches, 200 mock bombings, and 53 mock sorties during the exercise. The RIA Novosti reported that the US Air Force is currently investigating how the Tu-160's escaped detection.''

An Emergency is declared in Peru as Mt. Ubinas threatens to erupt ''The government of Peru declared a state of emergency in the vicinity of the Ubinas volcano on Saturday as it began to spew out ash and smoke over a 6km area, indicating a possible eruption in the near future. The civil defense institute has recommended the total evacuation of the 3,500 residents of the district of Ubinas. The Peruvian military has been ordered to aid in the evacuation of civilians from the area. Aid shipments of tents, water and powdered milk are being sent to the affected area''

Cyclone Monica misses Darwin ''Tropical Cyclone Monica has missed Darwin, the territorial capital of Australia’s Northern Territory, dissipating into a category one cyclone at 1030 AEST (0030 UTC). The cyclone was originally expected to hit Darwin as a category five, but lost power as it traveled across the Northern Territory, moving further south than anticipated. While this may bring relief to many residents fearing a return of the infamous Cyclone Tracy, authorities have warned that Monica still packs a punch and will bring 90 kph winds to the region''

In depth: Buffalo, N.Y. hotel proposal controversy

May 26, 2006

In February of 2006, the Savarino Services Construction Corp. proposed the construction of a seven million dollar hotel on Elmwood and Forest Avenues in Buffalo, New York. In order for the hotel to be built, at least five properties containing businesses and residents would have to be destroyed. It was not certain whether the properties were owned by Savarino or by the landlord Hans Mobius. The hotel was designed by Karl Frizlen of the Frizlen Group, and is planned to be a franchise of the Wyndham Hotels group.

Elmwood Avenue is known by the community as a popular shopping center, and Nancy Pollina of Don Apparel (who is "utterly against" the construction) claims it's the only reason why students from Buffalo State College leave campus. Additionally, Michael Faust of Mondo Video said he did not want to "get kicked out of here [his video store property]."

In 1995, a Walgreens was proposed to be built on the same land, but Walgreens later withdrew its request for a variance because of pressure from the community. More recently, Pano Georgiadis tried to get the rights to demolish the Atwater House next to his restaurant on Elmwood Avenue, but was denied a permit due to the property's historical value. He has since been an opponent to the hotel construction.

In the process of debating the hotel, it was thought that a hotel had previously existed on the proposed site, however; research done at the Buffalo and Erie County Historical Society had shown that no hotel had previously existed on the site.

The initial meeting
On February 21, 2006, 140 people attended a meeting that was held at the Buffalo State College to discuss the hotel proposal. Citizens were opposed to the hotel development, including Mark Freeland, who claimed that the hotel will effectively prevent nearby Granger Street from getting any sunlight, and would make the households on that street "on permanent reality TV." Nancy Pollina claimed that the proposal was being rushed. Alternatives were suggested, including a plan to commercially revitalize the street without the construction of a hotel. Rocco Termini, the developer who proposed the plan, claimed that small stores would "preserve the streetscape" of Elmwood Avenue.

Hotel redesign
One of the main objections at the meeting was the design of the building: a large box-shaped building that dwarfs the small shops on that street. In an interview with Eva Hassett of Savarino Construction Services Corp., she told Wikinews that the hotel would be a story shorter and have 10% less rooms. In addition, the aesthetics of the building were to be changed, different building materials were to be used, and the smaller building would allow for more parking. When asked if Savarino agreed to Termini's proposal, they asserted that the hotel would be a great asset for Buffalo. Hassett agreed to another large meeting that was held in late February.

The second meeting and the planning board's decision
A more low-profile meeting was held on February 27, 2006 to disucss the redesign. One of the attendees was Joseph Golombek, who had only heard of the hotel proposal a few days earlier. He claimed that he was asked to approve the hotel the next day, to which he had responded that he would not accept or reject until the community has had more time to look at it. In addition, Golombeck claimed that two of the properties, 605 Forest and 607 Forest, would need to be re-zoned in order for the hotel development to go through. At a meeting of the City Planning Board, they unanimously agreed to postpone voting on the hotel plans for thirty days due to a lack of meetings.

Termini, who appeared at the first meeting, still claimed that the hotel is bad. He proposed another idea, again without a hotel. Susan Curran Hoyt claimed the hotel is still too large, and asked if the hotel size could be further reduced. Evelyn Bencinich complained that her property value will be deprecated as a result of the hotel, and that the construction process of the hotel could result in serious consequences.

On March 10, 2006, it was reported that the planning board further delayed voting on the hotel.

Threats of lawsuit
At a meeting on March 13, 2006, Savarino confirmed that they are seeking a variance on 605 Forest in Buffalo. Originally, both 605 and 607 Forest were requested for a variance. 605 Forest is the property of Pano Georgiadis, a local restaurant owner, who has threatened to sue if they had requested the variance. A petition has been drawn to prevent the construction, which had been signed by Georgiadis. However, signs of support have been found, including a citizen claiming that the hotel will raise property values. The Buffalo News claimed that at least six of the Common Council members have approved the hotel construction.

On March 18, 2006, citizens protested on Elmwood and Forest Avenues in Buffalo against the construction of the hotel. At least forty people arrived to picket for two hours. One complaint within the crowd was that the hotel would destroy businesses that had been around for years.

Approval by the Common Council and Planning Board
On March 22, the Common Council unanimously approved the construction of the Elmwood Village Hotel in less than two minutes. The approval also allowed for the rezoning of all five properties to allow for hotel development. While 605 and 607 Forest Avenue are not needed for the hotel, Savarino still needs the rights to 605 Forest Avenue to fulfill certain requirements. Six days later, another protest occurred. Several individuals met with a lawyer to see if any legal action could be taken. While it has been claimed that there is a case, the legal fees would be too expensive. A legal fund has been looked into.

On March 28, the Planning Board, who has the final say, approved the hotel construction. This has aroused plenty of controversy for the plan, with one man saying, "Thanks for destroying Buffalo." Georgiadis, the owner of an affected property, has confirmed that he is "definitely suing."

Lawsuit filed
Attorney Arthur J. Giacalone has filed a lawsuit in New York State Supreme Court against Buffalo's Planning Board and Common Council on April 21. The lawsuit claims that the plans were approved without giving consideration to the effects on the community. Giacolone is representing several people, including Nancy Pollina, one of the business owners affected by the plans. The lawsuit, titled Pollina et al. v. Common Council of the City of Buffalo et al., has been assigned to Rose H. Sconiers.

On April 26, more people have been named in the lawsuit, including the Mayor of Buffalo, Byron W. Brown, Savarino Construction Services Corporation, Hans J. Mobius and his son Hans S. Mobius, who are owners of the properties at stake, Pano Georgiadis, owner of Pano's Restaurant on Elmwood, and Cendant Corporation, the parent company of Wyndham Hotels. In addition, Savarino is prohibited from doing any construction and Mobius is prohibited from preventing the lawsuit.

In an e-mail interview with Wikinews, councilmember Joseph Golombek stated that the city is fighting the lawsuit, claiming that they "believe that [they] did everything fairly and properly (as well as legally)."

As of June 2, 2006, the preliminary hearing for the lawsuit was postponed to June 22, and was subsequently postponed indefinitely.

Proposal withdrawn
As of July 13, 2006, according to Savarino Construction Services Corporation, the plans for the hotel will be withdrawn and will undergo a "do-over". By the end of next week, the new proposal will be submitted.

"We're lovers, not fighters. Our energies should be spent on developing a really wonderful project, not wasted in court. We'll start over with a clean slate and take as much time as necessary to hear people out and end up with a very positive project for the neighborhood," said President of Savarino Construction, Sam Savarino.

Savarino asserts that the problem was not with the design or the location, but with the rushed process involved with the proposal.

Since then, the preliminary hearing for the lawsuit has been rescheduled for August 10, 2006, and as of August 14, 2006, has been postponed indefinitely pending Savarino's next action.

Properties for sale
Hans Mobius has decided to place a for sale sign in front of the properties at 1109-1121 Elmwood.

Savarino now states that "legal complexities now exist" as a result of the sign being put up.

Documents threaten hotel proposal, businesses on site
Documents that lead back to nearly 1815 have turned up. According to the documents, "no business of anykind whatsoever" can be placed on the site of the proposed hotel. This discovery may cause the closure of any and all businesses on the site and may even prevent a hotel from ever being built.

Savarino is claiming that a judge will look at the documents to determine if the rules, which are stated on the original deeds of the properties, if a hotel can be placed there.

The original owner, Erastus Granger sold the land, which was known as the Granger estates to different people to build upon, but had restrictions which include no businesses or bars/saloons. For the time they were written, the documents also state that no barn, farm or stable can be built on the properties.

Sri Lankan Army Chief critically injured in LTTE suicide bombing

April 26, 2006

A female suicide bomber from the militant separatist group LTTE disguised herself as a pregnant woman and detonated a bomb inside the Sri Lankan Army HQ in Colombo yesterday evening. Eight soldiers were killed in the attack and Lieutenant General Sarath Fonseka was severely wounded.

The Sri Lanka Air Force launched retaliatory strikes against rebel positions this morning at 00:30 GMT. This attack threatens to put an end to the uneasy ceasefire between the Tamil rebels and the Sri Lankan government that has been in place since 2002.

Security alert shuts down West London

April 26, 2006

Several suspect packages were found in the Shepherds Bush area of West London this morning, which led to many roads in the area being closed, along with the Hammersmith and City tube line.

The area re-opened shortly afterwards, after Bomb Squad experts determined the packages were safe, and a woman walked into Hammersmith Police Station and admitted placing the packages as "works of art".

Police are still advising motorists to avoid the area, due to heavy traffic.

Hello,

Two suicide bombers attack peacekeeping base in Egypt

April 26, 2006

Just days after the bombings in the Egyptian resort town of Dahab, two more suicide bombers struck a Multinational Peacekeeping Forces base near the Gaza border. The attack occurred at around 1300 GMT. The number of casualties is not known at this time with the spokesperson for the Multinational Force and Observers (MFO) and Egyptian security forces giving conflicting reports. According to Major Nathan Bond, an MFO spokesman, no peacekeepers were injured in the attack. However, Egyptian security personnel maintain that one Norwegian, one New Zealander and four Egyptians were killed in the bombing.

spelling
hi, thanks for ur contribs. i just want to point out that "programme" and "metre" are spelt corectly in Commonwealth English and are not spelling errors. here at wikinews, we follow the convention (from style guide) "Spelling is an issue which often becomes contentious since there are multiple contradictory standards available, for example, American and British English. On Wikinews there is no specific policy other than to use a consistent spelling pattern throughout an article. Follow the spelling patterns of the subject of the article or that of the first author of the article to avoid issues."

cheers, Doldrums 16:21, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

Tony Snow named new White House press secretary

April 26, 2006

U.S. President George W. Bush on Tuesday named Tony Snow, a former news anchor and talk show host for the Fox News network, as his new press secretary.

Bush said in a press conference, "I'm confident Tony Snow will make an outstanding addition to this White House staff. I am confident he will help you do your job. My job is to make decisions, and his job is to help explain those decisions to the press corps and the American people."

Snow said in response, "These are times that are going to be very challenging. We've got a lot of big issues ahead, and we've got a lot of important things that all of us are going to be covering together, and I'm very excited and I can't wait."

Snow, 50, replaces Scott McClellan, who submitted his resignation last week.

Before joining Fox News in 1996, Snow was a speechwriter for Bush's father, former President George H.W. Bush. At Fox News, Snow was a weekend news anchor and host of "The Tony Snow Show" on Fox News Radio. He was also a nationally syndicated columnist for the Detroit News from 1993 to 2001.

Others named in lawsuit against Buffalo, N.Y. hotel proposal

A copy has been obtained of the lawsuit filed against the City of Buffalo for allegedly fast-tracking a seven million dollar hotel proposal.

The Elmwood Village Hotel is a 72-room, seven-million-dollar hotel proposed by Savarino Construction Services Corporation and designed by architect Karl Frizlen of the Frizlen Group. Its construction would require the demolition of at least five buildings, currently at 1109-1121 Elmwood, which house several shops and residents. Although the properties are "under contract," it is still not known whether Savarino Construction actually owns the buildings. It is believed that Hans Mobius, a resident of Clarence, New York and former Buffalo mayoral candidate, is still the owner. The hotel is expected to be a franchise of the Wyndham Hotels group.

According to official court documents, there are more defendants than previously thought. Documents state that not only Buffalo's Common Council and Planning Board are named in the lawsuit, but also the Mayor of Buffalo, Byron W. Brown, Savarino Construction Services Corporation, Hans J. Mobius and his son Hans S. Mobius owners of the properties at stake, Pano Georgiadis, owner of Pano's Restaurant on Elmwood, and Cendant Corporation, the parent company of Wyndham Hotels are also named in the suit.

According to the lawsuit, during the length of the trial, Savarino Construction along with their employees, Hans Mobius and his son are not allowed to make any alterations or "engage in the physical alteration" of any of the said properties, 1109-1121 Elmwood and 9999 Forest. The suit also states that the owner of 605 Forest, Pano Georgiadis is also to follow the same rule.

The suit also states that Hans Mobius, his son and employees or "agents" are not allowed to "take any step, lawful or otherwise, to terminate [the] petitioners, Nancy Pollina and Patricia Morris," owners of Don Apparel at 1119 Elmwood "tenancies." Although the business is owned by Pollina and Morris, they are without a lease. Within the suit it states that the rezoning of the properties 1119-1121 Elmwood and 605 Forest, by the Common Council, from a 'R3' Dwelling District to a C2 commercial zone "constitutes as impermissible 'spot-zoning'" and is "not in accord with a well-considered plan for the development of the community and is null and void." According to the suit the courts of New York have defined spot-zoning as "the process of singling out a small parcel of land for a use classification totally different from that of the surrounding area, for the benefit of the owner of such properties and to the detriment of other owners." The suit also states that the proposed site for the hotel is different from the surrounding properties because none of the zoning classifications, 'EB' [Elmwood Avenue Business District], 'R3' [Dwelling District], 'R1' [One Family District] and 'R2' [Dwelling District], permit the construction and operation of a hotel.

It is alleged that Savarino Construction "failed to utilize forms obtainable from the city clerks office, failed to include an accurate map or survey showing the location of all buildings and structures and failed to include the names and addresses of each of the owners of the properties to be rezoned." It is also believed that recommendation in regards to [hotel] compatibility, different land uses, traffic studies, community character, population density, relations between other residents and business owners, public convenience, governmental efficiency, and achieving and maintaining a satisfied community, were to be sent to Erie County's Planning agency and was to refer Savarino's rezoning application and site plan to the agency, however; the lawsuit alleges that although a referral was given to Savarino, it "does not appear that the 'full statement of such proposed action' was forwarded to the County [Agency]."

The suit also alleges that the Common Council "failed to wait the 'statutorily-mandated' 30-days after the County's Planning Agency's receipt" of recommendations from the Council. The County's Planning Agency replied to the recommendations, however; the Agency replied on March 27, 2006, just six days after the Council made its recommendations, falling well short of the "statutorily-mandated" thirty days. The Agency's reply however, did not support or oppose the recommendations or hotel proposal.

Public hearings are required to be registered by the City clerk to the City Planning Board, and according to the suit, "no record" of the Public hearing on March 7, presenting the initial proposal to the public, was made within the City's Clerk office or Planning Board. The suit also alleges that the Common council and Planning Board also violated the State's Environmental Quality Review Act or SEQRA and the City's Environmental Review Ordinance by allowing the Planning Board to be the "lead agency" instead of the Common Council. A lead agency is an involved agency principally responsible for undertaking or approving an action and therefore responsible for determining whether an Environmental Impact Statement or EIS is needed, according to the SEQRA regulations. The suit also states that the hotel proposal "constitutes an action under the SEQRA" because the project could "affect the environment by changing the use, appearance or condition of any natural resource or structure that requires one or more approvals from an agency or agencies" and that the Common Council and Planning Board are "obliged to comply with both the letter [recommendations] and spirit of the SEQRA review process" which include identifying the areas of environmental concerns and taking a "hard look" at them. The suit also claims that the Common Council has the "sole authority to grant Savarino Construction's rezoning request" and "to approve the special development plan," but it also claims that the Planning Board is "an involved agency" but that it is "clearly subordinate to that of the Common Council" therefore the decision made by both the Council and Planning Board to allow the Planning Board to be the 'lead agency,' is in "violation" of the State's SEQRA and "renders all determinations" made by the Planning Board and Common Council on March 14, 21, and 28, 2006, "void and unauthorized." It goes on to say that the Council "proceeded without or in excess of their jurisdiction, and/or made a determination in violation of lawful procedure, affected by an error of law, and/or in an arbitrary and capricious manner." It also states that unless the requirements of the SEQRA are met, then the petitioners have the right to "seek a temporary restraining order" from the Court if circumstances require it.

The suit also states that a failure to grant a preliminary injunction, through the courts, will result in "irreparable injury" to the petitioners and that the Council and Planing Board have failed to comply with the requirements of the SEQRA and have violated several other state laws and city codes.

So far, Savarino Construction has not responded to any calls or e-mails. District councilman Joseph Golombek also has not responded. Georgiadias was unavailable for comment.

A preliminary hearing is scheduled to take place at 9:30 a.m. on June 8, 2006 in the Supreme Court building at 50 Delaware Avenue in Buffalo, on the 8th floor, part 31.

Question on press releases and transcripts from the Whitehouse.

Can those be used by Wikinews? In this case we have an actual transcript of the press conference and Wikinews exists on US soil and is edited by some US Citizens, so can we use this information as a direct source? dzcowart 21:21, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

Chickens at a Norfolk farm to be culled after testing positive for bird flu

April 27, 2006

35,000 chickens at Witford Lodge Farm at Norfolk, England are to be culled after some chickens found dead tested positive for bird flu. Further tests are being carried out to establish which strain of the virus it was, but preliminary results suggest it is not the H5N1 strain, but is instead the H7N7 strain. The birds are being culled as a precautionary measure.

The H7N7 strain can be transmitted to humans, but not as easily or as lethally as the H5N1 strain. Previous outbreaks of the H7N7 strain include one from 2003 in the Netherlands, which infected more than 80 people and led to the death of one vet.

So far the only positive test for H5N1 in the UK has been a dead swan found in Fife.
