Wyoming boy leads police on chase
I have done a little work on this article you posted. I found the Denver Post source you mentioned when you created it and added that. Basically, I've done quite a bit of what the introduction above links to on how to make an article. I have then marked the article as developing, so you and other people get another chance to work on it before it is put up for review and publication.

There are a couple of problems that need cleared up though. I am not sure if the article is trying to say the chase started in one town and went to another - a "started at town A and ended at town B" way of explaining. The Indian reservation is mentioned as being 50 miles from somewhere. Is it 50 miles from the start of the chase, or 50 miles from the end of the chase? Did it start or end on the reservation, so it is important to mention the reservation. Or, was the boy they arrested from the reservation and it is mentioned because of that. If so, you also need to explain which of town A or B it is fifty miles from.

I am not sure that the sources give enough information to answer all these points and clear up the article for someone who might never have been to Wyoming, or even the United States. But, if you do sort that out and add details from local knowledge, can you put a note on the article's talk page to help other people check what you write? --Brian McNeil / talk 23:02, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

Ireland votes 'Yes' to Lisbon Treaty

October 4, 2009

On Saturday, 67% of Irish voters favored the European Union's (EU) Lisbon Treaty which now requires approval from the presidents of the Czech Republic and Poland for ratification.

With polls closed at 10 PM local, the vote in favor of the EU treaty stands at 67% in favor and 33% against. 41 of Ireland's 43 constituencies had a majority of voters in favor of the treaty. The treaty was mainly supported by the Fianna Fáil, Fine Gael and Labour parties amongst others and was opposed mainly by the Sinn Féin Party and Libertas. The Irish rejected the Lisbon Treaty in June 2008 when 53% of the population voted against the Twenty-eighth Amendment of the Constitution of Ireland that covered the ratification in a referendum. Since 2007 the Lisbon treaty has undergone a series of ratification votes and reviews in all of the current 27 member-states. Ireland was the only state to require both a parliamentary vote and a popular referendum.

The Lisbon Treaty is a number of amendments to the Treaty on the European Union and the Treaty Establishing the European Community, which was later renamed the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union. Some of the major tenets of the Lisbon Treaty include the legitimization of the European Central Bank, revisions to European Court of Justice powers, a restructing of EU-level legislative institutions, and the establishment of the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy. Also, the treaty allows for the election of an EU President for two and one-half years by the executives of each member-nation.

With the treaty now passed in Ireland, the Czech Republic and Poland will make a final review. In the Czech Republic, the parliament has already passed a bill supporting the treaty however, the signature of Czech President Vaclav Klaus is required. Senators from the Czech Parliament have filed a complaint with the Czech Constitutional Court on the grounds that the treaty violates their constitution. Legally, the president cannot ratify the treaty until the Court makes a decision. Poland must also sign-off on the treaty before it can be enacted. The Polish parliament also has approved the treaty but Polish President, Lech Kaczynski, must also sign the document. Thus, while Ireland's referendum is important in the ratification process, the Czech Republic and Poland must still approve.

Typhoon Parma spares Philippines capital

October 3, 2009

Typhoon Parma was threatening to strike the Philippines capital of Manila, devastated from Typhoon Ketsana just one week earlier, but has taken a more northerly path, largely sparing the city.

"It’s a big help, we weren’t ready for another catastrophe," said Marides Fernando, mayor of the Marikina municipality. "Prayers worked; everyone was praying. We can go back to our homes."

Forecasters say the storm changed course before striking the Cagayan province in the northern part of the country. Most of the region is expected to avoid major disaster.

However, Parma, still packing sustained 10-minute winds of 110 miles per hour, has knocked down trees and powerlines, and is forecast to drop heavy precipitation. The most significant impacts may come in the form of mudslides.

Tuguegarao Mayor Randolph Ting said, "Many houses have been destroyed and trees and electricity poles uprooted. The province hasn’t been hit this hard in 10 years. It will probably take 10 to 15 days for power to be restored".

In advance of the storm, President Gloria Arroyo issued a "state of calamity" and tens of thousands residents were advised to leave their homes.

Trevor Taylor, a resort owner in Santa Ana, Cagayan, reported that "The town is locking down; you don’t want to be on the road at this time. We have moved everything that is loose, boarded every window and put extra material on the roof so it doesn’t get blown off. A lot of people here have homes made of flimsy material, and these are likely to suffer a lot of damage."

All interests in the areas potentially in the path of Typhoon Parma are urged to monitor its progress over the next few days.

More bodies recovered from capsized boat in Kerala, India

October 3, 2009 At least 44 bodies have been recovered from a lake in India lake after a boat carrying tourists capsized in the water. The accident occurred in Periyar National Park located in the city of Kerala. The bodies of a mother, her child and one other individual were among the latest victims pulled from the water. On Wednesday, a boat carrying 75 people, mainly women and children, was returning from a fair that marked the end of the Durga Puja, an annual Hindu festival celebrating the worship of the Hindu goddess Durga. Fifteen people, including the boat driver and two staff members, were able to swim to safety after the boat capsized, but officials believe there are no other survivors. Reports say the person driving the boat turned sharply to one side before it capsized.

Wikinews obtained exclusive pictures of the boat before and after the accident. Images show the boat significantly leaning to one side shortly before the accident occurred. A later image shows the boat almost entirely submerged as rescue workers frantically work to rescue the trapped passengers. According to the Indian Express, the boat was being operated by workers who were not trained in rescue tactics had the boat been suddenly damaged. The paper also claims that of the two person crew, a driver and a lascar named Victor Samuel, neither were assigned direct control of the boat. The paper also says the boat was not licensed to operate in the area it was traveling. The paper cites a 1921 law, which says the driver must watch over the engine while another crew member, a 'srank', drives the vessel, but no one in that position was aboard the vessel when it capsized. Samuel said that he only obtained his lascar license one year ago, contradicting earlier reports that suggested he had more than 15 years of experience driving similar boats.

Officials are continuing to investigate the incident. So far, no criminal charges have been filed. The boat was made of mostly fiberglass, had two decks and was owned an operated by the Kerala Tourism Development Corporation, a government-owned company. According to reports, Samuel was only licensed to operate wooden boats and had no experience driving ones made of fiberglass. Samuel and the two staff members have been suspended pending the results of the investigation.

Six soldiers killed in Senegal after ambush

October 3, 2009

Six Senegalese soldiers were killed in an ambush near the country's border with Guinea-Bissau late on Friday, according to reports. The clashes come after Senegalese rebels in the area started stepping up their attacks.

The soldiers were returning from patrol in the Niagha district along Senegal's border with Guinea Bissau when they were ambushed in an attack thought to have been carried out by rebels from the Casamance Movement of Democratic Forces (MFDC).

It was one of the deadliest attacks against Senegalese troops in recent years, and comes a day after gunmen killed one person and wounded three others in an attack on a taxi in the region. A reporter for Voice of America in Casamance said that more than 1,000 civilians have fled the area near the Bissau border and are camping along the national highway toward Ziguinchor.

The Senegalese air force last month bombed rebel bases near Ziguinchor after suspected MFDC fighters killed a soldier at an army outpost. Two people were killed in an attack on a bus in August.

The Casamance is Senegal's southern district, separated geographically from the rest of the country by Gambia. The rebellion there is one of Africa's longest-running conflicts.

It was originally begun as a separatist movement of ethnic Dioula fighting for greater autonomy from the government in Dakar. A 2004 peace accord restored order in Casamance and led to hopes that the region might once again become a valuable tourist destination. But attacks have grown this year, with rebels accusing President Abdoulaye Wade's government of neglecting the people of Casamance, who produce much of the nation's grain.

Local government officials are calling for renewed talks with the MFDC movement. A communiqué last month, attributed to the head of one of the group's factions, said the rebels prefer negotiations but were provoked by the military in recent clashes. In a nation-wide address last month, the president denounced the recent violence and vowed to pursue peace efforts with the MFDC.

Some analysts have also voiced concerns that recent conflicts in the neighbouring country of Guinea-Bissau, where dozens of anti-government demonstrators were killed by government security forces, could spill over into Senegal and other states such as Liberia and Sierra Leone.

130 dead after torrential rains in India

October 3, 2009 Officials in southern India have said that flash floods killed more than 130 people in the southern part of the country, following four days of heavy rain.

The Indian army dispatched troops and helicopters to the states of Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh to rescue people stranded by the flooding. They also delivered emergency medical supplies and food provisions. Hundreds of thousands of people have already been evacuated out of the vicinity.

The rains damaged or destroyed thousands of homes, the authorities have said. The waters have also ruined crops, blocked roads, and disrupted communication links. The death toll is expected to rise as search teams reach areas previously rendered inaccessible.

The Chief Minister of Karnataka, B. S. Yeddyurappa, said that the current situation was "serious". "We have asked for more helicopters from the Indian Air Force to help us," he told media.

Chief Minister K. Rosaiah said that army personnel had dispatched to assist with rescue efforts. "Six chopper [sic] have been pressed into service to immediately rescue people. While four helicopters are being used to airlift the flood-hit people in Kurnool district, two choppers were deployed in Mahabubnagar district. A helicopter rescued 15 people in the pilgrim town of Mantralayam," he said.

Weather analysts have said that the intense rains come from a storm in the Bay of Bengal. "India's monsoon season usually brings rains from June and withdraws by the end of September. But, this year some parts of the country were actually drought affected due to inadequate and untimely rainfall. Moreover, the cyclone in the Bay of Bengal did the damage in south India which is battling floods after rivers breached their banks. This is a calamity. The central government is also closely monitoring the situation," said Professor D.K. George, a weather specialist.

The Indian Meterological Department has said it expects more heavy rains over the next day in the states of Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh.

Afghan policeman opens fire on US troops, kills two

October 3, 2009 An Afghan security officer opened fire on American troops while conducting a joint operation with them, Afghanistan officials reported. Two soldiers were killed and two others were injured.

A spokesman for the governor of Wardak province said the shooting happened late on Friday, while both countries' forces were patrolling the area together. It was not immediately clear what motivated the shooting.

NATO-led forces in Afghanistan released a statement saying two US soldiers died from wounds received in what they described as a "hostile attack", but did not give any further information.

NATO reported that two other US troops died on Friday in a bomb attack in southern Afghanistan. Another died from injuries received after a bomb explosion in eastern Afghanistan. The violence comes as US and NATO armed forces have recently began to meet with stronger resistance from Taliban fighters.

Afghan security officers have attacked US soldiers at least two times in 2008. One soldier was killed last October after an Afghan policeman threw a hand grenade at a foot patrol. About a month before that, an Afghan security officer started shooting at a police station, wounding three US soldiers and killing one.

This year has been the deadliest for foreign troops in Afghanistan since troops entered the country almost eight years ago.

Three aid workers released by Somali gunmen

October 3, 2009 Officials in Kenya say three foreign aid workers with the aid group Action Against Hunger, that were kidnapped by Somali gunmen in July in northern Kenya, have now been released. Authorities say that the three were released on Saturday and are expected to fly to Kenya's capital of Nairobi.

After their abduction by gunmen in the Kenyan border town of Mandera on July 17 of this year, the three were taken into Somalia. It is not clear whether a ransom was paid for the release of the humanitarian aid workers. Their nationalities were: Pakistani, American, and Zimbabwean.

"A small plane flew the hostages out of the airport at Luq after they were freed by their kidnappers," said an official for the rebel Islamist movement Hezb al-Islam to the Agence France-Presse news agency.

Somalia has been devastated by internal violence for eighteen years since 1991, when the last stable government by Siad Barre collapsed. Foreigners are frequently kidnapped in the country. Kidnap victims usually are released unharmed, but in many cases only after a ransom is paid.

Report says global warming may cause 25m malnourished children by 2050

October 4, 2009 A new report on climate change's impact on agriculture predicts 25 million more malnourished children around the world by 2050, compared to a scenario with no global warming. Countries in sub-Saharan Africa are particularly vulnerable.

The report from the International Food Policy Research Institute projects that the the number of malnourished children will decrease by 10 million in the next 40 years. However, without global warming the report projects a decrease of 35 million. Forty percent of undernourished children will live in Africa.

The report compares economic and biological factors affecting child nutrition in two future scenarios — a world with and a world without climate change.

Gerard Nelson is lead researcher for the report at the International Food Policy Research Institute. He said that climate change will have a particularly strong impact on agricultural yields in sub-Saharan Africa.

"The food price crisis of last year really was a wake-up call to a lot of people that we are going to have 50% more people on the surface of the Earth by 2050. Meeting those demands for food coming out of population growth is going to be a huge challenge — even without climate change," Nelson said.

"On top of that, sub-Saharan Africa in particular is home to a large number of poor people. And one of the key messages to take home from our analysis is that with higher incomes people are more resilient to a variety of changes and that will be especially true for climate change."

The report says that in 2050 average wheat yields in sub-Saharan Africa will decline by up to 22 percent as a result of climate change. Irrigation water supply is also expected to decrease and less food availability will mean on average 500 calories less per person.

Without climate change, the report projected a rise in calorie availability in Sub-Saharan Africa in 2050.

Nelson says African governments need to prioritise investment in the agriculture sector, particularly in rural roads, research and new technologies. With the December 2009 climate change talks in Copenhagen, Denmark, Nelson says African governments should focus on helping their farmers adapt to climate change.

"As the governments of sub-Saharan Africa prepare to go to the Copenhagen negotiations they should ensure that agriculture is included both in the adaptation funding mechanisms that will come out of Copenhagen as well as allow for the possibility that mitigation funds can be used in Africa," Nelson said.

The report says an additional investment in global agriculture of US$7 billion per year could increase production and counteract the adverse effects of climate change. The report says 40 percent of this investment should go to sub-Saharan Africa.

I was under the belief that wiki was impartial. "so-called "hostile attack"," in this article suggest otherwise and should be edited to reflect a neutral view.
 * No. Re-read the full paragraph "hostile attack" appears in. Wikinews is not saying this, wikinews is reporting this was said, and who said it. Impartiality in news reporting is impossible as most people would define it. The way neutrality is interpreted and applied on Wikinews is to attribute specific POV items to a specific party - " described as ". --Brian McNeil / talk 01:11, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

Greece to hold general elections

October 4, 2009

Greece will vote in a general election this Sunday. The socialist opposition is ahead of the current conservative government in opinion polls.

According to opinion polls, the Papandreou Panhellenic Socialist Movement (PASOK) appears to hold a lead over the conservative New Democracy (ND), which has been in power for five and a half years.

Prime Minister Costas Karamanlis called in September for polls to be held early, due in part to a faltering economy and numerous scandals. The move was approved of by most Greeks, who say that a change of government could help boost the economy.

In the latest polls held in the run-up to the elections, the PASOK party has a lead of 6–7%, allowing them to possibly obtain a majority in the parliament, consisting of three hundred seats. Greece's election rules say that the winner of the elections needs at least 42.5% of the ballot to take an absolute majority. If neither side attains this percentage, another election will be held.

Polling stations are to be opened at 04.00 UTC, and close at 16.00. 9.8 million people are eligible to vote in the polls.

Sebastian Vettel wins 2009 Japanese Grand Prix

October 4, 2009

Red Bull driver Sebastian Vettel won from pole position the Formula One 2009 Japanese Grand Prix at Suzuka Circuit, Japan.

Jarno Trulli took second place for the Japanese Toyota team, whilst his teammate Timo Glock was injured in a qualifying accident on Saturday and withdrew from the race on Sunday morning.

Lewis Hamilton, winner of the previous Grand Prix at Singapore, closed the podium for McLaren having started from third place on the grid.

Ferrari driver Kimi Räikkönen managed to pass Nick Heidfeld from BMW Sauber to finish fourth, followed by Nico Rosberg of Williams.

The two Brawns of the championship leaders, Rubens Barrichello and Jenson Button, closed the top eight.

Sebastian Vettel scored nine points more than Button and maintained his chances to win the championship. He is now 16 points behind Button and only 2 behind Rubens Barrichello. Brawn also lead the Constructor's standings with 156 points. Red Bull are 35.5 points behind, still giving the team a chance to win the championship.

In other racing news this week, Fernando Alonso will move from Renault to Ferrari next season. His contract will last for three years with an option to continue. Alonso was very enthusiastic about his decision, confessing in an interview that "it would be even more special to win a championship with Ferrari... All drivers dream one day of driving for Ferrari and this dream has come true for me. I'm extremely happy and I'm ready for the challenge in 2010!". Räikkönen is now free to choose another team. Alonso's teammate would be Felipe Massa who was injured this year during the Hungarian GP qualifying. Massa was forced to retire at the end of this F1 season.

Second stone circle found one mile from Stonehenge

October 4, 2009

Archaeologists have revealed that evidence of a second stone circle has been found near the site of in the United Kingdom. It is thought the smaller circle was built around the same time, making it 5,000 years old.

Only chips remain of the 27 stones that made up the site, which was built from rocks thought to have originated in the  in Wales. From there they were dragged 200 miles to be built just one mile (two kilometres) from Stonehenge.

Because the rocks it is made from are known to appear blue, the site has been given the name. Although the stones are gone, the holes they left remain. Stonehenge was linked to the by a pathway, and Bluehenge lies at the end of it.

The BBC quotes researchers working on the site, which was excavated over the summer by, as calling the discovery "very important". A full report is expected in February 2010.

Greek man arrested over alleged plot to hijack Emirates airliner at Karachi airport

October 4, 2009

A Greek man was arrested at Jinnah International Airport in Karachi after he allegedly tried to smuggle a handgun hidden in his laptop onto an Airbus A330-200.

Annkhus Sarzio was due to travel with his mother on Emirates flight EK 605, returning to his homeland in Athens, Greece via Dubai. When they tried to pass through airport security, scanning equipment detected a 9mm handgun concealed in the battery casing of Sarzio's laptop.

Sarzio claims in preliminary investigations that he bought the handgun in Karachi. He says he is a businessman involved in carpets and that he had been staying in the city for at least a month.

Security officials registered the case against the accused at a local police station; the suspect's mother has not been detained although initially she was arrested. According to The News International, Sarzio may have links with international terrorist groups and airport officials say this could have been an attempt to hijack the airplane.

France considers chemically castrating sex offenders

October 4, 2009 Debate is underway in France over the possibility of forcing male sex offenders to be chemically castrated. Prime Minister François Fillon has confirmed the government is considering such a move.

Chemical castration is different from physical castration in that it stops being effective if treatment is stopped, making it reversible. It works by using hormones and significantly reduces a target's libido.

The move follows new measures Poland introduced in September to force some paedophiles to be castrated. Germany, Belgium, and parts of the United States have similar laws, and France is among European countries such as Sweden that offer castration voluntarily to convicted sex offenders.

"Chemical castration exists today, it just depends on an agreement by the person concerned," said Fillon. "We have to look at how, as part of surveillance and control measures after someone leaves prison, we might make this more restrictive if necessary." He also told reporters that the government is "not ruling out any line of reflection on any subject" following a ministers' meeting on crime prevention. He said castration may be made "more obligatory".

The debate was triggered by last week's slaying of Marie-Christine Hodeau, who called police to say she had been shut in the back of a car and told them its manufacturer and registration number before being cut off. A manhunt began and a suspect was quickly arrested, but Hodeau was already dead. Her killer confessed to strangling her and led police to her body.

It later emerged that the same man had earlier been imprisoned for the abduction and rape of a thirteen-year-old girl. After serving his sentence, he had returned to live in the same village as the girl he had raped.

The possibility has been met with both approval and opposition from French politicians. The ruling 's spokesman had already asked for the measures, and they were also sought by Justice Minister, although she wanted castration to remain voluntary despite tougher laws surrounding it. However, socialist opposition spokesman Benoît Hamon described forced castration as a "deplorable" and "indecent" scheme that might breach international legislation.

Typhoon Parma threatens Taiwan

October 4, 2009

The Central Weather Bureau of Taiwan issued a typhoon warning on Sunday, as Typhoon Parma entered the Bashish Channel between the Philippines and Taiwan.

According to the bureau, the storm's winds reached 119 kilometres per hour (kph) and had gusts of up to 155 kph, and was expected to bring torrential rains. As of 06.00 UTC, Parma was centered 310 kilometres south of Taiwan's southernmost point, Oluanpi.

The storm's speed had slowed upon reaching the Bashish Channel, the bureau added, from 7 kph to 5 kph.

1800 people have been evacuated, some of them forcibly, from remote rural mountainous areas, after the weather bureau made its warning.

An official with the bureau told the Agence France-Presse news agency that "the typhoon is forecast to move along the (northern) track until Monday night and then turn southwest. In the next two to three days, the typhoon may move slowly and hover around the Bashi Channel, and after that, how it moves needs further observation."

Earlier this week, Typhoon Parma had passed over the Philippines, killing fifteen people and flooding northern parts of the country.

Talk:Report says global warming may cause 25m malnourished children by 2050

Review of revision 891849 [Passed]
What is "over-linking"? If this is official Wikipedia, what are the rules (link request)? 99.35.10.191 (talk) 14:01, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
 * I think that was an inappropriate edit summary. The addition of one link, on Global warming, is quite appropriate - unless it is already present in the article. What is of more concern to me is changing "two" to "three" (or vice-versa). I'm busy on something else, so don't have time to dig into sources and check that change. Oh, and 'over-linking' isn't an official policy, but it is something you should consider given what would be appropriate for a news article. --Brian McNeil / talk 14:19, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

 * Perhaps I should elaborate on my intentions by the two edits in question.

 * The "overlinking" edit didn't touch the two-versus-three issue, and didn't touch the global warming link either. I wholeheartedly applaud the link on "global warming".  There is (certainly to my knowledge) nothing official on Wikinews about overlinking; I was exercising my own subjective judgment that heavy linking to incidental topics is a distraction that makes the article harder to read (e.g. it makes it harder to know which links are really centrally relevant).  Considering separately each one of the links in question, the one for "Sub-Saharan Africa" actually makes a lot of sense to me, and there are probably about two or three others that wouldn't actually bother me — but that's out of, what, about thirteen links for things like "Earth", "agriculture", and "income".  With no easy way to separate the wheat from the chaff (e.g., Sub-Saharan was linked in the same edit with "agriculture" and "Earth").  The terminology "overlinking" I borrowed from Wikipedia usage.

 * The two versus three question is awkward if one doesn't know the date on which Nelson said those words; they aren't from the report. The VOA article says three months.  Rather than tangle with it, I reworded to avoid saying either, and compensated for any resulting loss of information in the Wikinews article by linking to the Wikipedia article about the upcoming talks.  --Pi zero (talk) 15:43, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

Eight US soldiers killed in Afghanistan after clash with millitants

October 4, 2009

Officials say that eight US soldiers and two members with the Afghan National Security Force were killed on Saturday, following a battle with militants in Afghanistan. Another thirteen Afghan security officers were captured.

The clashes occurred in the Nuristan province, a remote area in the eastern part of the country, NATO said. It was the largest number of US troops killed in a single battle for over a year.

The militants had reportedly attacked two security posts in the province with rifles and rockets, according to the International Security Assistance Force. The posts were surrounded by several hundred fighters.

In response, the US dispatched jets to launch air strikes on the area. A statement by NATO announced that "coalition forces effectively repelled the attack and inflicted heavy enemy casualties while eight ISAF and two ANSF [Afghan National Security Forces] members were killed."

The Taliban has claimed responsibility for the attacks.

FBI arrests, charges man over nude videos of US presenter Erin Andrews

October 4, 2009

The FBI have arrested a man and charged him with interstate stalking over allegations he was responsible for nude videos of United States sports news presenter Erin Andrews. The videos appeared on the Internet earlier this year.

The FBI believes seven videos of Andrews were made in Nashville, Tennessee in September last year while another one was made in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. It is believed that the suspect, Michael David Barrett, 48, stayed each time in a room next to Andrews and modified her room's peephole with a hacksaw in order to take the videos with his mobile phone.

Barrett was returning from a trip to Buffalo, New York on Friday when he was arrested at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport. He has been held over the weekend and made an initial court appearance in Chicago on Saturday.

It is alleged that Barrett tried to sell the videos to celebrity website TMZ.com, but one of their employees told Andrews' lawyer. He faces the charge in Los Angeles where TMZ is based and tomorrow a judge will decide whether to send him there or release him on bail. He faces a fine of $250,000 and five years imprisonment if convicted.

Marriott Nashville at Vanderbilt University has been identified as the location most of the videos were taken but the hotel involved in the one thought to be taken in Milwaukee remains a mystery. A room Andres used at Milwaukee's Ramada Conference Center had similar damage to its peephole but the room did not match the video and Barrett is not thought to have checked in there, although it is claimed he did reserve a room beside Andrews. It is also claimed he made a similar request when booking his room at the Marriott.

Andrews has reviewed several of the videos in an effort to assist authorities with their enquiries. "For my part, I will make every effort to strengthen the laws on a state and federal level to better protect victims of criminal stalking," she said in a statement that thanked the FBI and federal prosecutors. She has topped a Playboy poll for sexiest sportscaster for the last two years running.

People who know Barrett have expressed surprise. "I don't think he's even had a traffic ticket... He's as regular a guy as you'll ever meet — a great friend," said his lawyer, Rick Beuke. Barrett's father Frank said the allegations "[do] not match the Mike I know." "He's always been an upstanding, hardworking guy," according to Frank.

Comments:France considers chemically castrating sex offenders

Should sex offenders be castrated?
Yes!. The lives of the innocent (children)should take precedence over the rights of the perpatrator (usually adults).18:12, 4 October 2009 (UTC)18:12, 4 October 2009 (UTC)~

 * What about Situational Offenders? They probably won't re offend anyway so castration of any sort would little more than a punishment rather than prevention. This, of course, brings up the issue as to whether or not the punishment is reasonable or going to far. Besides, how many cases have there been where kids have cried wolf (that wasn't retorical, BTW, I don't have any figures to hand) and how would that look if someone completly innocent had their physiology messed up so some brat could get a bit more attention from their parents? --Bisected8 (talk) 19:05, 4 October 2009 (UTC)
 * and what good is that for the victims? Certainly, there's a form of revenge satisfaction to it, but I believe that castration is simply useless as far as legal deterrants and punishments go. The perpetrators will still have the mental ability and the physical ability to harm victims and would be perpetrators would probably not change their actions (it is likely a mental problem, not something that a person would weigh the odds on and consider their conscience). I think it's just cruel and unusual punishment here (even if it's reversable)... also, "think of the children!! would someone please think of the children!!!" has become a fall-back argument for people without the time or ability to think of a more valid and pertinent argument. the sexual offense issue is about more than just children. stop using them. --131.104.241.221 (talk) 19:36, 4 October 2009 (UTC)Hostile

castrating sex offenders?

 * retribution: check! (directly related to nature of crime.)
 * punishment: check! (inflicts justifiable pain of loss to convicted offenders.)
 * deterrence: check! (logically gives would-be offenders more to think about.)
 * cost-effective: check! (cheaper than incarceration; should effectively reduce crime.)
 * humane: check! (more humane than incarceration or death penalty.)

That is a great idea! I would have gone for a more harsher penalty.

They should slowly hang till dead, all murderers, rapists and pedophiles and cut off a finger or two for thieves. Then we could go back to leaving our doors unlocked, our kids on the beach or let them play wherever (without having to constantly supervise them), etc. Life would be better. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.34.146.16 (talk) 03:25, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Mutilation of criminals sounds great, until someone decides that you are a criminal. Wait until someone realises what they can do about your kids stealing from the corner shop or making too much noise in class and then we'll see if you still think it's a better wolrd for them.--Bisected8 (talk) 11:32, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
 * There's no reason to make it a slow or painful death; if there is no doubt that someone needlessly or selfishly caused harm to another person then they need to be removed from society - permanently, in the case of execution. It should never be about satisfying the victim or punishing the criminal: it should be about protecting the people, and that requires diligence - not sadism! Sadly, no one has a competent legal system, and so there will almost always be doubt as to whether or not someone is really guilty despite being sentenced as such. The need, or perceived need, of chemical castration simply treats a symptom of a much greater problem, but whether or not this is the best option given the current state of things will hopefully be determined by people who can look at this with advice from all angles - medical, legal, ethical, and perhaps others. --67.174.131.145 (talk) 20:47, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

Efficacy
Has any kind of study been carried out on the effectiveness of this kind of thing? Castration of paedophiles might seem clever to daily mail readers, and call me pessimistic, but I have doubts that reducing someone's libido is going to stop this kind of behaviour. It does definitely have big potential to further frustrate, alienate and anger them though.

Genital mutilation/deformity and the inability to form relationships has proven links to lots of unhealthy behaviour. Doing such things to the people in question could result in some real monsters, I imagine.

To achieve anything; sexual abusers either need to be reformed or totally removed from society FOREVER. This seems to be a dangerous mix of neither in my opinion. Shane.Bell (talk) 08:08, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
 * I tend to agree with that. But, I do tend to be concerned about how you would do that. Because, for a lot of what are generally considered serious sex offences, you can class them as a mental illness. This good, in that the psychiatric community is - supposedly - better equipped to assess if someone is 'reformed' or 'cured'. Prison has it's nasty stereotypes, not that all are privately-run US-based ass-raping institutions. You do have to be very careful that you don't cast the net so wide that you include 'statutory rape' universally. A 17 year-old, with his 15 year-old girlfriend may be a crime, but... --Brian McNeil / talk 09:39, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Brian, you're absolutely right. Statutory rape, especially two young people who happen to cross the cut off line, is a wholly different case with a wholly different solution to anything being mentioned here. That's why I always try to use terms like 'sexual abusers' rather than 'Paedophile' which tends to bring images to mind of the worst possible case in most people.

 * The solution if it was up to me, would be a massive rewriting of the incredibly ineffective current law in this area. We really need thorough case by case review of things like this (expensive but sadly necessary) to determine whether or not abuse has occurred. Not formulaic laws based on the magic number: 16 that ruin lives and waste time and money.

 * IMHO the age of consent is entirely irrelevant, predatory sexual abuse is as common for people well above the 16 limit as harmless consensual relationships are for people who straddle (or who are both below) the age limit.

 * As for those who are found to have committed abuse. I see no problem or reason not to commit them to mental institutes (if found mentally impaired), or secure prisons for those who are simply violent, along with all of the others who are not safe  to walk the same streets as the rest of us. I see no difference other than that one riles parents greatly and the others less so. Shane.Bell (talk) 12:31, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

Should sex offenders be castrated?
Yes. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.35.236.200 (talk) 15:50, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

Israeli police and Palestinians clash in Jerusalem

October 4, 2009

Nine people suffered minor injuries after violence erupted on Sunday near a disputed site that is sacred to Muslims and Jews in Jerusalem, Israel.

Israeli police, including paramilitary and mounted units, stormed into a crowd to disperse about 150 Palestinians who were throwing stones and bottles in Jerusalem's Old City. The clash took place near the Al-Aqsa Mosque, the site Jews call the Temple Mount. It is the holiest place in Judaism, and third holiest in Islam.

The violence erupted after police shut down the mosque compound in an attempt to avoid a repeat of a similar riot a week ago. But Palestinians angry over the closure clashed with police.

Adding to the tension were rumors that Jewish militants would try to pray on the Temple Mount to mark the week-long holiday of Sukkot-the Feast of Tabernacles.

A police spokesman, Micky Rosenfeld, said to the Agence France-Presse news agency that "we closed the access to the Temple Mount following incitations to violence."

Israeli police said that they would not tolerate any unrest in Jerusalem, especially when the city is packed with Jewish and Christian pilgrims observing the biblical feast.

Palestinian official Imir Hamad said that the events were extremely dangerous and proved that the "extremist Israeli government," as he put it, is trying to provoke the Palestinian people. His remarks were broadcast on Israel Radio.

The Mosque of Al Aksa is a focal point of the Middle East conflict. The Second Palestinian Uprising broke out there in the year 2000. And with peace talks at an impasse, some Palestinian officials are warning of a third uprising against Israel.

Comments:Report suggests number of malnourished children to increase 25m by 2050

It seems like that every time I read the news recently, there is a mention of the climate change and it's effects on the globe.

For some political, or maybe religious reasons, nobody talks about uncontrolable population growth aspecially in Sub-Saharan nations and other uneducated areas.

Ladies and Gentleman, our major problem of 21st century, in my opinion is un-controlable population growth mainly contributed by third world countries. In those countries, seems to me, the ignorance and religion prevails.

The worst part of that scenario is that, we, the first world nations, need to feed this people, that are not born into a traditional family.

How about that we talk about this issues and stop the disaster that is waiting to happen in the future? Someone needs to educate these people that if they can't curb sex, at least they can be given some prevention tools and abortion availability. We are not doing any favour to God or this world by having all these babies coming to this world, having nothing and becoming liability for all of us.

US free speech lawyer defends satire of Glenn Beck

October 4, 2009

Massachusetts-based lawyer Marc Randazza is defending a controversial   which  American political commentator Glenn Beck. The website was created in September by a man from Florida named Isaac Eiland-Hall, and it asserts Beck uses questionable tactics "to spread lies and misinformation".

The website created by Eiland-Hall is located at the "www.GlennBeckRapedAndMurderedAYoungGirlIn1990.com". Its premise is derived from a joke statement made by about fellow comedian. The joke was first applied to Beck on the Internet discussion community. It then became popular on Internet social media sites including and, and was the subject of a , a technique where individuals link phrases in order to artificially change Google search results.

Eiland-Hall saw the discussion on Fark, and created a website about it. The website asserts it does not believe the rumors to be true, and states: "But we think Glenn Beck definitely uses tactics like this to spread lies and misinformation." In an interview with , he said the website was "using Beck's tactics against him". The website was created on September 1, and by September 3 attorneys for Beck's company took action. Beck's lawyers sent letters to the where they referred to the domain name itself as "defamatory", but they failed to get the site removed.

Beck filed a formal complaint with the Switzerland-based agency of the United Nations, the. Beck alleged that the website's usage is libelous, bad faith, and could befuddle potential consumers. Beck's complaint was filed under the process called the. The policy allows trademark owners to begin an administrative action by complaining that a certain domain registration is in "bad faith". A lawyer for Beck declined to provide a comment to the , however a source told the newspaper that Beck's complaint with the site is primarily a "trademark issue".

Randazza established an attorney-client relationship with Eiland-Hall after his client received threatening letters from attorneys representing Beck. He then sent an email to Beck's attorneys, and pointed out inconsistencies between their client's recent actions and his prior public statements in support of the First Amendment. Randazza wrote a reply to the World Intellectual Property Organization, and contends that the website is "protected political speech", because it is "satirical political humor". Randazza stated that "Even an imbecile would look at this Web site and know that it’s a parody." In his legal brief, Randazza compared the website to other, such as "" and video parodies of the German film .

"We are here because Mr. Beck wants Respondent's website shut down. He wants it shut down because Respondent's website makes a poignant and accurate satirical critique of Mr. Beck by parodying Beck's very rhetorical style," wrote Randazza in the brief. The brief also commented on Beck's style of reporting, and pointed out a controversial statement made by Beck when he interviewed a Muslim member of the United States Congress. Beck said to Representative : "I like Muslims, I've been to mosques. ... And I have to tell you, I have been nervous about this interview because what I feel like saying is, sir, prove to me that you are not working with our enemies." According to the, the website's joke premise takes advantage of "a perceived similarity between Beck's rhetorical style and the Gottfried routine".

Public interest attorney Paul Levy told Ars Technica that if a statement in a website's domain name were both false and "stated with actual malice", it is possible it could be considered defamatory.  reported that attorney Corynne McSherry gave an analysis asserting that though the domain name of the website is "pretty dramatic", it constituted "pure political criticism and there's nothing wrong with that". McSherry and Levy both agreed that the action of Beck to take the matter to the World Intellectual Property Organization was probably a tactic to determine the identity of the website's owner.

Andy Carvin of  wrote that Randazza's legal brief was amusing, commenting: "It's not often that I would recommend reading a World Intellectual Property Organization legal brief for its entertainment value, but today is going to be an exception." Nate Anderson of Ars Technica commented "In any event, the WIPO battle promises to be entertaining, and there's even a bit of serious purpose mixed in with the frivolity. Just how far can WIPO go in using its domain dispute system to address Internet spats?". Domain Name Wire wrote that "...when someone who has created a bitingly satirical web site works with his lawyer to put pen to the paper, the end result can be quite amusing."

Writing for , Eriq Gardner pointed out the comparison made by Randazza's legal brief between the website's parody nature itself and the statement made by Beck to Congressman Ellison, noting: "this case also makes a political point". Jack Bremer wrote in The First Post that the attempts by Beck's lawyers to argue that the website's domain name is itself defamatory "looks like a first in cyber law". Rick Sawyer of  characterized Randazza's legal brief as "Hillarious!", and called the attorney "among the North Shore's most hilarious legal writers".

The -critical site FoxNewsBoycott.com likened the legal conflict between Beck and the site to the, a phenomenon where an individual's attempt to material on the Internet in turn proves to make the material itself more public. "Glenn Beck is experiencing the Streisand Effect first hand," wrote FoxNewsBoycott.com. John Cook of also compared Beck's actions to the Streisand effect: "Now Glenn Beck's trying to shut down their web site, ensuring that people will write about it." Jeffrey Weiss of  wrote that by taking legal action, Beck "did the one thing guaranteed to garner the greatest amount of publicity for the site".  described Beck's legal action as "not particularly smart", and noted: "Beck would have been better off just ignoring it. Instead, in legitimizing it by trying to take it down, many more people become aware of the meme -- and may start calling attention to situations where Beck (and others) make use of such tactics." The blog  noted the issue could gain attention if it becomes a test case for the First Amendment: "If this becomes a First Amendment test case, the smear’s going to be covered far and wide..."

Greek Socialist party wins general elections

October 5, 2009

The Panhellenic Socialist Movement (PASOK) of Greece has won the country's general elections, results have shown.

The former prime minister, of the New Democracy party, had resigned his position after the results were announced, and congratulated PASOK's leader George Papandreou.

PASOK had 43,99% of the ballot, compared to the conservative New Democracy's 33,49%, with almost all of the votes counted. The socialists now have a 160-seat majority in the 300-seat parliament. New Democracy is projected to have won 91 seats.

"We stand here united before the great responsibility which we undertake," Papandreou told a crowd of supporters in Athens. His party had waged "a good fight to bring back hope and smile on Greeks' faces [...] to change the country's course into one of law, justice, solidarity, green development and progress," he said.

In order to win an absolute majority in the parliament, PASOK needs to control at least 43% of the seats.

 * Brain you make me sick. Not that you're a typical far-left liberal. But a someone that thinks its a good idea to attack someone their belief. Un-American to the core.--66.229.23.225 (talk) 05:46, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
 * It would be an "attack" if the people who set up the website were in a position to do what they're parodying. Let's just say there was a left-wing equivalent of Hannity, and he's got Beck on the show...
 * "So, I keep getting told - not that I believe - these rumours about you raping and killing a girl in 1990. Why, Mr Beck, can I find no proof that you did not rape and kill a girl in 1990? Why have you not denied raping and killing a girl in 1990?"
 * This is exactly what Fox news' talking heads do to their guests. Sauce for the goose and all that. Oh, and for a European, I am a bit of a far-left liberal, but we've no qualms with saying what that is; I'm a Socialist. Look it up, try and forget the propaganda that's been drummed into Americans since the 1950s. --Brian McNeil / talk 07:52, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Brian, whatever Fox News is doing can't be as bad as claiming someone raped and murdered a young girl - especially when sex criminals are some of the most hated people in our society. HansTaub (talk) 15:18, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

Uh, Lol. You're actually taking that part seriously? And you wonder why you conservatives are considered thick.... 198.86.93.93 (talk) 14:25, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

Is it just me, or is this article a little biased? Maybe it's because I'm a conservative. HansTaub (talk) 04:54, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

 * Don't post them here. Take off your NPOV hat and beat them about the head with logic. That's what the Comments section is for. Conservapedia came into existence because such people can't stand liberals, or even non-Americans, being able to have a say on Wikipedia. The far-right's media presence is very tightly controlled, competently assembled arguments against what they believe just vanish from their website comment pages, or never make it through the "review" process. Don't sink to the same level, don't gang up on them (they are already sure we're all conspiring against them), just respond as you see fit - once you have given it suitable thought --Brian McNeil / talk 07:59, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

Rebels in Nigeria surrender weapons under amnesty

October 5, 2009

Thousands of rebels in Nigeria's volatile Niger Delta have surrendered their weapons, after they accepted a government offer of amnesty, reports say.

Local rebel leader Government Tompolo arrived in Warri on Sunday, after promising to support Nigerian president Umaru Yar'Adua in return for a pardon. He was among the heads of the Federated Niger Delta Ijaw Communities (FNDIC), blamed for halting a large portion of oil in 2003 from the Nigerian west delta.

The leader of another group, the Ijaw Niger Delta Vigilantes, Ateke Tom, and five thousand fighters also surrendered arms in the city of Port Harcourt. However, Tom said that his group would restart attacks if the Nigerian government did not follow up on their promise to invest in the area, saying that "if they refuse to develop our region we will go back to the creeks."

Other rebel groups had refused to disarm until their main demands were discussed, but the government said it was unwilling to negotiate until weapons were surrendered. Niger Delta's religious and community leaders had mounted pressure on the militants to embrace the peace process.

With their disarmament, the government's pledge to resolve years of violence that has stopped the flow of one million barrels of oil per day appears to be on course. President Umaru Yar'Adua, whose 60-day amnesty offer commenced on August 6, said that the government is keen to build upon the success so far achieved.

Since 2006, militant activities have crippled operations of oil companies in southern Nigeria, resulting in a steep decline in production. Nigeria, one of Africa's two biggest oil producers, derives more than 90 percent of its foreign exchange earnings from oil.

User talk:Sciguy2013~enwikinews

Welcome
Tempodivalse [talk]  02:11, 5 October 2009 (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 Sciguy2013. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Sciguy2013~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 23:21, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

 * Yep, let's hope that the few individuals who want to start it again (there's always some) fail to make an impact. --Bisected8 (talk) 11:48, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
