NHL: Stars advance in eighth-longest playoff game

May 5, 2008

 * Style Guide - how to write
 * Content Guide - what to write

Brenden Morrow scored the game-winning goal, 9:03 into the fourth overtime, as the Dallas Stars defeated the San Jose Sharks 2-1. The goal gave the Stars a 4-games-to-2 series win, and they advance to the Western Conference Finals, where they'll face the Detroit Red Wings.

The game, which took 5 hours and 17 minutes to complete, was marked by the play of goalies Marty Turco and Evgeni Nabokov, who combined for 114 saves.

In the second period, the Stars took a 1-0 lead with an Antti Miettinen goal. However, early in the third period, Ryane Clowe tied the game at 1, with a wrist shot that soared past the outstretched glove of Stars goalie Marty Turco.

As the game went into overtime, both teams fought hard for early chances. Both Turco and Nabokov turned away great chances, including a glove save by Nabokov that appeared to pull his glove above — but not over — the goal line; while the goal light briefly went off, referee Tim Peel waved off the goal immediately. A video review confirmed that the shot was not a goal. The Stars outshot the Sharks 18-11 in the first OT.

In the second overtime period, the Sharks outshot Dallas a staggering 11-2, but Turco continued to keep the puck out of the net. A third OT hooking penalty against Nicklas Grossman gave the Sharks the first power play since the second period of regulation, but they were unable to even get a shot on goal, and did not capitalize on the man advantage

8:14 into the fourth overtime, a tripping penalty to Brian Campbell gave the Stars a power play. 49 seconds into the power play, forward Brenden Morrow redirected a Stephane Robidas shot to the right of Nabokov, his seventh goal of the playoffs.

Turco made 61 saves on 62 shots for the win. Nabokov made 53 saves in the loss.

The game is the eighth-longest playoff game in NHL history, and the third-longest in Stars history. In 2003, the Stars were defeated by the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim in a five-overtime thriller. A 2007 game saw the Stars defeated in four overtimes by the Vancouver Canucks.

Dallas avoided a deciding Game 7, which would have been held in San Jose. The Stars won the first three games of the series, but strong performances by San Jose, including a Game 5 overtime win, narrowed the series to 3-2.

Conference Finals matchups
The Stars advance to face the Detroit Red Wings in the Western Conference Finals. Game 1 of that series is scheduled for Thursday, at Joe Louis Arena in Detroit.

The Eastern Conference Finals, meanwhile, is an all-Pennsylvania matchup, as the Pittsburgh Penguins, who clinched their series with a 3-2 overtime victory on Sunday, face off against the rival Philadelphia Flyers. Game 1 will be held at Mellon Arena in Pittsburgh on Friday.

Clinical signs a 'reliable measure' of HIV treatment progress

May 5, 2008 Researchers have found that, in terms of survival, assessing the status of a HIV/AIDS patient by clinical examination is almost as reliable as laboratory blood testing during their course of treatment.

Poor access to laboratory tests should therefore not be a barrier to rolling out antiretroviral (ARV) drug programmes for HIV in developing countries, they say.

The findings were published in The Lancet recently.

Patients on first-line ARVs in the developed world are monitored regularly for the amount of HIV circulating in their blood. When this falls below a certain level, treatment switches to second-line ARVs.

But because of limited access to laboratory tests, the WHO recommends that people in the developing world are monitored for clinical signs of HIV progression, such as bacterial infection in the mouth and certain types of cancer.

Monitoring of CD4 cell levels — an indicator of the health of a patient's immune system — is also used when laboratory testing is available. Until now, little was known about the effectiveness of this strategy.

The researchers used a computer model to simulate the course of HIV infection and estimate the impact on survival of monitoring by viral load, CD4 count or clinical observation.

The model was initially developed for wealthy countries, but was adapted for lower-income countries by taking into account factors such as interruptions in drug supply.

It predicts that after five years, 83 per cent of patients monitored by viral load, 82 per cent of patients monitored by CD4 cell count, and 82 per cent of patients monitored by clinical examination alone, would have survived. This decreases to 67, 64 and 64 per cent, respectively, after 20 years.

Andrew Phillips, professor of epidemiology at the UK-based Royal Free & University College Medical School and lead author of the study, says the findings shouldn't dissuade people from relying on viral-load monitoring.

"I certainly wouldn't want to inhibit the roll-out of viral-load monitoring and the development of cheap and robust tests that don't rely heavily on infrastructure or highly skilled laboratory staff," he told SciDev.Net.

But, he says, that shouldn't be done at the cost of getting ARVs to everyone who needs them.

"The issue of whether to use viral-load monitoring or not pales into insignificance when dealing with whether you've actually got everyone who needs ARVs on therapy. Having drugs without viral-load monitoring is a lot better than not having drugs."

User:Juliancolton

   Hi, I'm. I'm an administrator and editor here at the English Wikinews, having edited since the middle of 2009. I was mainly active during the summer of that year and sort of lost interest over the winter, but I hope to become more active once again as hurricane season approaches. My main area of interest is meteorology, but I'll write about most anything that isn't too depressing or gruesome. You can also find me preforming general maintenance work around the wiki.

I often have some strange ideas for articles and sometimes defend them too vigorously, so feel free to offer me a cup of tea if I become argumentative. For a list of my articles that have been published, see Category:Julian Colton (Wikinewsie). Julian Colton is my real name but not the whole thing; I leave out my last name for security purposes. I'm accredited as "Julian Colton", which hopefully isn't too deceptive.

I'm also an administrator on the English Wikipedia and a few other places, which you can find here. I'm quite familiar with the admin tools, so if you need any help, feel free to ping me on my talk page.

Seahen's request for editor status
Hi Juliancolton! Regarding the discussion on Seahen's request for editor status, do you think that putting myself up for reconfirmation/recall would resolve the issues brought up? Would such an action even be necessary? Thanks! Benny the mascot (talk) 05:22, 10 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Sorry, but I'm not sure why that would be necessary. – Juliancolton  | Talk 05:48, 10 December 2009 (UTC)
 * I might be getting paranoid, but when Dendodge said, "yours should also have been re-opened, in my opinion," I just felt that I have to. Benny the mascot (talk) 12:24, 10 December 2009 (UTC)
 * I didn't mean you should re-run (I would have supported in the first place if I'd got round to it), but that—for the sake of consistency—single vote requests should be re-opened in the future. Unless you do something terribly wrong, I have no problem with you having the rights, but—as Seahen's proved—this is not always the case. Den dodge  T\C 15:41, 10 December 2009 (UTC)

A little help, if you have time
Hi Julian, I've just taken an excursion onto here from Wikipedia- it's certainly a lot quieter on here! I don't know if you've seen me around but I don't think we've formally "met". I wonder if you could help me out a little? I've just created this but, embarrassingly, there's a typo in the title. How do I move it to a "typo-free" title and how can I get a few more eyes on it? Any help you could extend would be greatly appreciate. Regards, HJMitchell  You rang?   14:25, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

Climate contrarians in Copenhagen
Please join the discussion, if you can do it attentively, if you have some free 30 minutes?

I'm just afraid that this novice user Wikiwide, the author of the article, being probably a scientist (you just look at the first version of this article), has a very little understanding of what Wikinews is. And probably has lots of other work to do, is not interested, etc. Even the topic of climate contrarians near UNCCC sounds scientific, doesn't it? I think that if you revive this article, it will be very good Please be informed that only an experienced Wikinews user can manage with such significant and responsible task.

At least 10,000 reported dead after Burma cyclone

May 5, 2008 At least 10,000 people are dead and another 3,000 are missing after Cyclone Nargis hit the country of Myanmar, according to Foreign Minister Nyan Win, who spoke on state television. Just hours later Xinhua News Agency reported that government officials had told them that 15,000 were dead.

The United Nations (UN) calls the report "alarming". Paul Risley, a spokesperson for the World Food Programme said, "The UN will begin preparing assistance now to be delivered and transported to Myanmar as quickly as possible." "The UN will do whatever it can to provide urgent humanitarian assistance. Because of the lack of communications, we are not quite sure what will be the total extent of damages and casualties. I am very much alarmed by incoming views that casualties have risen to more than 10,000, according to Myanmar's foreign ministry," said the Secretary-General of the UN, Ban Ki-moon.

The death toll has risen from Sunday's count of only 351 deaths.

Food and water has become scarce and hundreds of thousands of people are homeless with several towns being completely destroyed. In the city of Yangon, there is no power and much of the drinking water has been contaminated.

"What is clear is that we are dealing with a major emergency situation, and the priority needs now are shelter and clean drinking water," said United Nations disaster response spokesman, Richard Horsey.

There are 47.8 million people living in Myanmar with over 5 million in Yangon.

White House spokesperson discusses situation in Burma

May 5, 2008 A spokesperson for the White House has discussed the situation in Burma in a recent press conference. He started by saying that "we [the US government] are obviously very concerned about the reports coming out of Burma and we mourn the loss of life." He then explained the aid given by the US in the aftermath of the cyclone in Burma. "The embassy was able to provide an initial package of aid and assistance that goes through the World Food Program, as well as other aid entities." The initial aid package provided by the US government will be worth US$ 250,000.

A journalist then claimed that the initial aid package provided by the US Government was just a "drop in the bucket, " due to the large size of the storm. Scott Stanzel, the spokesperson, responded by saying that "we're [the US government are] in the process of assessing what more we could provide. So we're just in the initial stages, obviously, of this tragedy, so it's something that we're taking a very close look at."

Stanzel finished discussing the Burma situation by saying that "officials at the [US] embassy are in touch with Burmese officials and we want to be as supportive to the humanitarian crisis as we can."

Over 4,000 people are dead and nearly 3,000 are missing and dozens are injured after Cyclone Nargis hit the country of Burma.

'Suspicious package' causes closure of busy street in Buffalo, New York

Early Cinco De Mayo celebrations were interrupted after a suspicious package caused the closure of a busy street in Buffalo, New York's Allentown District. For nearly three hours on Monday May 5, 2008 a busy street, popular with bars and hotels, was shut down while authorities examined the package.

According to Buffalo Police spokesman Mike DeGeorge, workers in the offices on the 500 block of Delaware Avenue witnessed a suspicious person placing a suspicious package inside a United Parcel Service (UPS) drop box at around 4:30 p.m. EDT (UTC-4).

"It is my understanding that at about 4:30 this afternoon, a call went out for a suspicious person. Police responded and it appears there may have been a suspicious individual who was acting somewhat suspicious when he threw or tossed a package into a UPS box," DeGeorge stated to reporters.

"The individual had a package under his jacket which tipped off the person as being suspicious. He dropped the package into the [box], and made his way out to Delaware Ave. towards Allen," stated Buffalo Police Lt., K Szyszkowski.

When police arrived on scene, they evacuated the offices at 570 and the New York State Health Department building at 584 Delaware Avenue, while the Erie County Bomb Squad was called in to examine the drop box and the packages. The street between Allen and North was shut down to traffic while police secured the scene. When Wikinews freelance reporter Jason Safoutin arrived on scene, at least 20 people were standing outside the buildings, most of whom appeared to be office employees. At approximately 6:10 p.m., the bomb squad arrived along with a K-9 unit. The commander of the bomb squad, Daniel Walczak entered the area between the buildings where the drop box was at about 7:15. He then opened the box and examined several packages with an X-ray machine, but found nothing to indicate an explosive device was present. After about 15 minutes, Walczak exited the area with the suspect packages.

"It was a regular envelope, a UPS container about 18 inches by a foot and a half. As of right now, I am not going to get into anything about the package weight until we go through a thorough investigation," stated Walczak to reporters. All of the packages will be sent to a laboratory for further analysis. Police would not say what might have been inside the packages.

Police do not have a suspect, but are reviewing security camera footage from the buildings. Szyszkowski states that witnesses say the suspect is a "white male, about 40-years-old [with a] green jacket and black pants."

The street later reopened just before 8:00 p.m..

Allentown is home to two major hotels and over a dozen bars, but is no stranger to suspicious activity. In November of 2007, at least 12 fire bombs were found inside a building at 15 Allen, just a few blocks away from Monday's incident.

There's a conflicting statement in this report, it says police do not have a suspect, but then goes on to list details about a suspect.

 * Discusses IMO. Spokesperson is a singular entity discussing with another. In this case with the attendees of the press conference. He discusses with x. They discuss with x. If it was just 'The White House' rather than 'White House spokesperson' then it would be discuss. Especially if the White House were discussing the issue amongst themselves e.g. He and she discuss, but that's not the case. However; Wikinews tends to favour American English so it would still be discusses on here. Shane.Bell - (talk) 13:51, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

Talk:White House spokesperson discusses situation in Burma

Comment
A101, when I heard about the WH response on the radio they (news reporter, not WH) where saying something about difficulties resulting from Burma being a Military Dictatorship. The way this article is currently written, it sounds like you are accusing the WH of trying to only look like they are helping when they in fact have no interest. Considering the abrasive opinions you have given in the past, I suggest you examine your POV. QUINTIX - (talk) 02:11, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I dunno, I just gave the article another read-through and it seems fine to me. Albeit of course this is a rapidly developing story and this particular article only tells one facet of that, but that is fine.  Cirt - (talk) 02:27, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

Strike shuts down Toronto's transit system

April 26, 2008

Public transit service in Toronto was suddenly shut down for Saturday when Toronto Transit Commission workers rejected a draft labour contract on Friday.

The transit operator's major union, Amalgamated Transit Union Local 113, reneged on an earlier promise to give 48 hours notice before taking strike action. This about-face prompted Toronto Mayor David Miller to condemn the union's actions as "unacceptable" and "irresponsible".

Meanwhile, the Ontario provincial government is preparing a back-to-work law this weekend. If this is passed on Sunday, Toronto's transit service would likely resume for the Monday morning rush hour.

Toronto transit advocate Steve Munro reacted to the strike situation noting communication problems from the Local 113 union. He further commented that "Local 113 has blown its relationship with the most pro-labour Commission and Council they could hope to have across the bargaining table. From here on, who can trust their signature on a contract?"

Death toll from cyclone in Myanmar continues to rise

May 6, 2008 In a radio broadcast, government officials in Myanmar say that 22,464 people have been confirmed dead from Cyclone Nargis which struck the nation on May 2-3.

As rescue workers reach the most hard hit areas of the storm, they only began to realize the damage it caused. At least 10,000 people died in one town alone, Bogalay in the Pyapon District of Myanmar.

Hundreds of thousands are homeless and another three thousand have been injured by the storm. Drinking water is contaminated and food is becoming scarce as the United Nations (U.N.) and other organizations try to get supplies to the region.

"The U.N. will begin preparing assistance now to be delivered and transported to Myanmar as quickly as possible," said Paul Risley, a World Food Program (WFP) spokesman.

Aid began to arrive in Myanmar on Tuesday, where more than 40,000 are still listed as missing. However, the delta-region of the Ayeyarwady River remains cut off from the rest of the world.

Caryl Stern, head of the United Nations Children's Fund, said "Our biggest fear is that the aftermath could be more lethal than the storm itself."

George W. Bush called on the government of Myanmar to allow the United States to provide disaster assistance. The United States Navy reportedly has three ship in the Gulf of Thailand which are within a short distance of the area. The country has had strained relations with both the United States and the European Union.

Richard Horsey, spokesperson for the U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Aid, said "The biggest problem will be to reach the affected areas. There will be a huge logistical problem."

Helicopters and boats would be needed to reach many areas. Horsey said, "The big concern is waterborne diseases. So that's why it's crucial to get safe water in. Then mosquito nets, cooking kits and clothing in the next few days."

"Food is not an emergency priority. Water and shelter are," Horsey added.

"since i`ve become a regular holdem player[only 5 years]AND VERY ADVID of watching and learning the game thru tv;chip reese was in my top 3[actually no.1....barry greenstein and phil ivey are the other 2]as the most poker players i admire.not only his game but he had THE BEST demeanor and attitude that i`ve run across throughout the poker world.to have his calmness and good nature that he showed everytime i saw him play was amazing.especially in a profession where tempers and big egos usually take precedence...YOU NEVER SAW THAT FROM MR.REESE[i call him mr.out of respect for the true gentleman he was]. it is a sad day to lose such an important and respected ambassador of the game in which he played with such passion[when he played;as we all know;FAMILY ALWAYS TOOK PRECIDENT!!]YOU WILL TRULY BE MISSED MR.REESE!

David "Chip" Reese
I had the privilege of knowing Chip for 39 years, and I am proud to have been his friend throughout his much too short stay on this earth. My brother Dana was one of Chip's closest friends and classmates at Dartmouth, and I spent nearly all my college breaks visiting my brother and his friends at Hanover. Chip and another of his close Dartmouth classmates, Dr. David Smile, used to hitchike to Dartmouth from their hometown of Dayton, Ohio, often staying over at our house in Auburn, NY en route to school. Chip instantly became an "adopted" member of my family, as my dad was an accomplished poker player who had made his fortune during games vs. servicemen throughout WWII. Naturally, Chip's incredible and genuine warm personality, coupled with his unique poker skills, won over my dad and the rest of my poker playing family. I spent hours playing heads-up with Chip at Dartmouth after returning (quite enebriated) from fraternity parties, as Chip was always waiting up at the combination TV room/ poker room that today bears his name. I will never forget his smiles and laughter as he pummelled me virtually every hand in a game that was then known as "cheat casino", where winning depended upon reading your opponent. Even after he had established himself as the greatest poker player in Las Vegas, Chip found occasion to visit my family in Auburn, NY. My grandmother (who was over 80 years old) held this bi-weekly $.10/$.25 game, which Chip took the time to play and grace our table with his presence. There is one statement Chip told me after we finished playing in one of my grandmother's game that I will never forget. It is a story that my brother neglected to relate in his eulogy. I was poking a little fun at how serious the players at that $.10/$.25 game were compared to the stakes Chip was used to playing. Chip never hesitated one second to respond, "Jeff, those people are playing at a much higher level than I am; they are playing for all they really have; you can't play higher than that." He smiled but he was totally serious. It was just the way he saw things, and was able to put them in the proper perspective. That gives you some idea why Chip was so loved by anyone who knew him. He could relate and empathize with everyone he met, showing equal courtesy, warmth and respect no matter what their station in life. He helped so many people through difficult times in their lives, without passing judgement. He will be missed by many; I think of him anytime I am feeling down, and things always seem to brighten up. RIP, Chip there will never be another like him. Jeff Martino —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jeff m (talk • contribs) 09:12, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

Does anyone else think there was more going on here then reported? How do you look suspicious dropping off a box at a UPS drop box?

 * The box is currently under a building over hang. The street is a very busy street. it is quite possible the person double parked on the street, ran up to the box in a hurry so as not to get a citation, maybe fumbled a little and ran back to his car. I think that the people who reported the incident did the right thing. I am waiting for the day that someone sees something like this incident, or like you described, and don't report it. That result could be catastrophic. The odds are like 1 in 10 million. This had every possibility of being the 10 millionth time, no matter how unlikely it is.

UK PM pledges aid for Myanmar

May 6, 2008 Gordon Brown, the UK Prime Minister, has asserted that the UK will provide Myanmar with aid after the recent cyclone. "I believe nearly a million people are now in need of food aid and we will have to help the families of those where people have died," he said.

He continued by saying that the UK will cooperate with other countries. "I want to pledge on behalf of the British Government that we will work with the whole international community to make sure that food aid is available to the people of Burma."

Government officials in Myanmar have said that 22,464 people have been confirmed dead from the cyclone, which is called Cyclone Nargis.

As rescue workers reach the most hard hit areas of the storm, they only began to realize the damage it caused. At least 10,000 people died in one town alone, Bogalay in the Pyapon District of Myanmar.

Boy stops wearing Brett Favre jersey after four years

May 6, 2008 After 1,581 consecutive days (just shy of 4 years and 4 months), David Witthoft of Connecticut has stopped wearing his #4 Brett Favre jersey.

The Ridgefield, Connecticut boy, 12, wore the No. 4 jersey every day after receiving it as a gift for Christmas in 2003. David's father, Chuck, said Monday that his son's last day wearing the jersey was April 23--his 12th birthday.

Witthoft conceded his son was starting to become more concerned about his appearance after the jersey barely came down to his belt line. In 2007, Witthoft said he "would keep wearing it as long as [he] could get it over [his] head." His mother, Carolyn, had washed the jersey every other day and mended it when needed.

Witthoft first gained national attention three years ago and attended his first Green Bay Packers game in December 2007 (a 34-13 Packers victory over the Detroit Lions). He's also planning to attend the September 8 game when the Packers retire Favre's No. 4 against the Chicago Bears on Monday Night Football.

Witthoft has considered sending the jersey to the Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame.

On Tuesday, armed police with Scotland Yard killed an armed man in a gunfight on Kings Road in London, England.

Police arrived at the scene at about 4:50 p.m. local time, after receiving reports of gun shots into a child's bedroom in the area in Chelsea in the west of the capital. Shortly after arriving, police were shot at by Mark Saunders, 32. Although negotiators were on the scene, the police were shot at a further two times before raiding the house at 9:43. According to eyewitnesses, four explosions were heard before the police raided the house, producing green light and shattering glass, suggesting the police made use of 'flashbang' grenades to attempt to subdue Mr. Saunders before he was fatally wounded.

It is believed the cause of the incident was an argument with his recently separated wife Elizabeth Clarke, also a lawyer, to whom he had been married for a year and a half. Being a former member of the Honourable Artillery Company and certified shotgun owner the gun used was legal.

The case has been turned over to the Independent Police Complaints Commission, who will be investigating the incident. Large areas of King's Road have been cordoned off, and nearby property owners were told to lock themselves into their homes and shops while negotiations were carried out.

Comments:Boy stops wearing Brett Favre jersey after four years

I've never heard of Brett Favre. --Brian McNeil / talk 21:33, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

 * He is arguably among the greatest American football players in history and almost certainly the most famous over the last 15 years. True, the NFL and American football finds most of its popularity in the US, but I've heard that it is being broadcast to many countries now. If you caught the comedy film There's Something About Mary you might actually have seen him (while not realising that he was making a cameo). --SVTCobra 21:43, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

Comments:Small explosion investigated in Times Square, New York

Suspect in TS Bombing
Check out the page for Bosko Radonjich, a former leader of the Hell's Kitchen Westies organized crime gang, an explosives expert and anti-communist fighter who has worked for the CIA, and said to be responsible in the bombing of the Yugoslav mission to the UN. If he wasn't directly responsible in the TS bombing, perhaps an associate of his was the one who did it.

 * I'd also consider Niko Bellic a possible suspect. --SVTCobra 23:53, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

Obama projected winner in North Carolina primary, Clinton wins Indiana by narrow margin

May 7, 2008 Tuesday, voters in Indiana and North Carolina of the United States cast their votes in the tightly contested of the Democratic Party.

The Associated Press declared Barack Obama the winner in the North Carolina Democratic primary, based on exit-polling data, and has also projected that Obama will win the North Carolina primary and take the majority of its 115 delegates. also reported Obama winning in North Carolina, and described his current national status as an "almost unassailable lead in pledged delegates".

In North Carolina, Obama has won with 56% of the vote; whereas Clinton has claimed 41% of the vote.

72 delegates were at stake in Indiana, a state which Foon Rhee of  described as "a must-win" for Hillary Clinton. Voter turnout was high in Indiana, and a judge ordered some of the state's polling locations to remain open past closing time due to long lines of people waiting to vote.

Counting of the results was also delayed as returns from, a county which is considered a Obama stronghold because of the county's large African-American population and its close proximity to were waited upon. Around 12:30 the results came through and which brought Obama 17,000 votes closer to Clinton, leading to a 2% margin over Obama. This was in contrast to earlier in the night when the polls first closed and Clinton lead over Obama in the double digits.

Both candidates made speeches, Clinton, speaking in Indianapolis, thanked her supporters and asked them to contribute money, noting "Tonight, I need your help to continue this journey." She also told supporters "Tonight, we have come from behind, we have broken the tie and, thanks to you, it is full speed on to the White House!"

Obama, who spoke to supporters in North Carolina, held a speech which dealt with division within the Democratic Party. Obama said that the party would not be "inalterably divided" noting that pundits are saying that "Senator Clinton's supporters will not support me, and that my supporters will not support her."

"I'm here tonight to tell you that I don't believe it. Yes, there have been bruised feelings on both sides. Yes, each side desperately wants their candidate to win. But ultimately, this race is not about Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama or John McCain. This election is about you — the American people — and whether we will have a president and a party that can lead us toward a brighter future."

Obama also mentioned that, "We cannot afford to give John McCain a chance to serve out George Bush's third term. We need change in America and that is why we will be united in November."

187 delegate votes, 115 delegates in North Carolina and the 72 in Indiana, were at stake and there are only five more states that will be voting after this. Puerto Rico also gets to cast its votes on June 1, 2008.

Italics
If sources are not to be italicized within the article text - then why are they italicized in the source template? Cirt - (talk) 00:33, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I think because the creators of that template thought all that would be listed in the pub paramater would be newspapers. I find that Wikipedia is pretty good at using italics when appropriate and vice versa. --SVTCobra 00:37, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Do you know of a MOS regarding italics usage, or is this your opinion? It would be nice to clarify it, if it is written somewhere.  Cirt - (talk) 00:40, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
 * No not really. But if you look at The New York Times, you will find that "The New York Times", the newspaper is italicized, while the publisher "The New York Times Company" is not. Wikipedia might have a style guide, but to me it is pretty clear already. I guess it was my strict teachers as I wrote papers in school. --SVTCobra 00:45, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I did not mean a Wikipedia style guide, I meant something previously published on the subject. No worries, not a big deal.  Cirt - (talk) 00:46, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
 * At work we use the The Chicago Manual of Style, but I must admit, I haven't consulted it in years. I was gonna say that I don't know where you could find that online, but then I just found the 2003 version online ... courtesy of Ohio State University at this link: http://library.osu.edu/sites/guides/chicagogd.php It is not long and actually it is specifically on citing sources, and not the whole MoS. Have fun reading (I didn't), cheers --SVTCobra 00:56, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

Think enough sources are reporting in, to re-title this article, or should we wait a bit longer? Cirt - (talk) 01:00, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

 * Go ahead. I am tuned out and not reading headlines anymore tonight. --SVTCobra 01:03, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Changed to Obama projected winner in North Carolina primary, Indiana too early to call per reports from multiple major media sources - but feel free to change it. Cirt - (talk) 01:15, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Why didn't you pubish immediately? (damn, i promised myself I be in bed by now). --SVTCobra 01:23, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Paulsaddress. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Paulsaddress~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.
