I'll try to post the link later - have to leave right now - but that's the page I sign in to regularly. I've posted two article requests on events this weekend in Oaxaca, Mexico. Here's a translation I did of an article in El Universal in Spanish:

 * US denounces murder of journalist; renews alert

 * El Universal, Saturday 28 October 2006

 * The United States government denounced the murder of American journalist Bradley Will, and indicated that his "senseless death highlights the need that law and order return to Oaxaca."

 * In a letter, the Mexican ambassador to Washington, Antonio O. Garza, indicated that "during several months, the violence and disorder in Oaxaca have gotten worse. The protests have been characterized by a growing violence, including at least nine deaths over the course of the last five months."

 * This violence, notes the ambassador, was the cause of my [sic] issuing a warning to U.S. citizens on August 24, urging them to consider carefully the risks of traveling to Oaxaca.

 * "This advisory will expire October 30. Nonetheless, I decided to renew it, in view of the continual increase in violence. The tragic firearms death of an American only increases my profound worry for the safety of Americans who travel to Oaxaca."

 * "The possibility of violence in Oaxaca continues and the situation continues to be tense. I urge anew that all American citizens consider very carefully the risks of traveling to Oaxaca at this time," Garza notes in his letter.

 * EU deplora el asesinato de periodista; renueva alerta

Please note that not all of us who are from other countries are aware which news sources tend liberal or conservative. It is not enough (though it's a start) to find articles in Spanish and translate them; one should make an effort to find neutral sources or to weave the article together in a way that balances slanted sources. The tendency in reporting these things is to write them sloppily in a way that indicates the protestors got violent, when often the violence is introduced by others to a protest that initially was peaceful. I don't yet know about this particular case. Participants seem to be indicating that police forces, many in civilian dress, came armed and began firing on a group that had more rudimentary everyday items to use in self-defense; you may see mention of machetes, which doesn't mean they came armed, as many people in Latin America use these cutting tools for ordinary household tasks such as food preparation (members of my own household do that). --Lawikitejana 18:11, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

2006 Nobel Prize in physics awarded for microwave map of the universe

October 3, 2006

John C. Mather of NASA and George F. Smoot of Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory shared the 2006 Nobel Prize for Physics for "their discovery of the blackbody form and anisotropy of the cosmic microwave background radiation." The Nobel Prize Committee cited the physicists for their work on the Cosmic Background Explorer (COBE) project. COBE revealed fluctuations in faint microwave signals from space that are thought to be remnants of the Big Bang.

Although the precise origin of the fluctuations in the cosmic microwave background is not yet clear, they may represent clumps in the very early universe that led to the galaxies seen today.

Prior to the COBE map of the universe, it was unclear why the universe contained stars and galaxies rather than an evenly distributed dust cloud. Theorists had predicted that a sensitive measurement of microwaves from the sky would reveal minute temperature fluctuations, which represent variations in the density of matter in the early universe. The denser portions served as seeds for galaxies that formed later. COBE was the first experiment sensitive enough to confirm the predicted temperature variations encoded in the map of the microwave background.

The initial discovery of the Cosmic Microwave Background by Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson led to their award of the 1978 Nobel Prize in physics. Although they measured the approximate temperature of the universe to be about 3.5 kelvins, their ground-based microwave telescope could not pick out the detail available to COBE.

North Korea says it will test a nuclear weapon in the future

October 3, 2006

The North Korean foreign ministry has published a statement on the state news agency KCNA on Tuesday that, as a result of international pressure, the state would "in the future conduct a nuclear test under the condition where safety is firmly guaranteed".

The government of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, North Korea's official state name, declared itself in possession of nuclear weapons in 2005, but has not yet tested a nuclear weapon, the typical way that nuclear states announced their capability to the world.

The text of the statement emphasized that the government required the weapons for the purposes of deterrence, citing a threat from the United States in particular, and that DPRK would never use such weapons first or encourage their proliferation.

Western governments have however feared the idea of a nuclear North Korea, citing a history of weapons proliferation, and the United States claims that North Korea is a "state sponsor of terrorism".

Since February 2005 there have been numerous reports that North Korea was planning a nuclear test, though none of them have yet been shown to be true. While North Korea is believed to have reprocessed plutonium for a bomb, some experts had questioned whether the state had yet actually produced a nuclear weapon.

Ban Ki-moon leads contest for next UN Secretary-General: Poll

October 3, 2006 South Korean foreign minister Ban Ki-moon emerged as the likely successor to Kofi Annan yesterday when an unofficial poll of Security Council members resulted in Ban being the only candidate to avoid a possible  by one of the five permanent members of the council.

A formal ballot to choose the next Secretary-General has been scheduled for October 9. The Security Council's recommendation will then go to the UN General Assembly for ratification which is usually a formality. Annan's term ends on December 31, 2006.

The 15 members of the council voted "encourage", "discourage" or "no opinion" beside each candidate's name on Monday's straw vote. The ballot was secret, however the five permanent members of the council who have veto rights, the United Kingdom, United States, France, China and Russia, voted on a blue ballot paper in order to demonstrate which candidates, if any, could escape a veto in the formal vote.

Ban received 14 "encourage" votes, 1 "no opinion" and no "discourage" or veto votes. Every other candidate received a veto from one of the five permanent members. Ban, 62, has won all four Security Council straw votes which have been held over the past several months but Monday's vote was the first straw poll which distinguished votes by veto-wielding permanent members of the Security Council from votes cast by the other ten members.

Following the release of the vote results, India's announced his withdrawal as a candidate saying of Ban "It is clear that he will be our next secretary general."

"It is a great honour and a huge responsibility to be secretary-general, and I wish Mr Ban every success in that task," said Tharoor.

Tharoor had placed second in the race receiving 10 "encourage" votes and three "discourages", one of which was from a country with a veto.

"It is quite clear that from today's straw poll that Minister Ban Ki-moon is the candidate that the Security Council will recommend to the General Assembly," said Chinese ambassador Wang Guangya.

Thailand's Deputy Prime Minister and former Afghan Finance Minister Ashraf Ghani each received four votes in favour. Ghani had three vetoes against him and Surakiart two.

The fifth candidate, Prince of Jordan had only two votes in favour and eight against, with one veto.

Monday's vote was not binding.

Hijackers with message for Pope seize Turkish airliner

October 3, 2006

, a  aircraft with 113 passengers and crew on board was hijacked on Tuesday, during a flight from, Albania to , Turkey by one Turk. The plane was flown to in southern Italy. It sent out an SOS twice in Greek airspace, and both Greece and Italy scrambled fighter jets to escort it before it landed in Brindisi. The hijacker was unarmed, said the chairman of Turkish Airlines's board of directors, Candan Karlitekin. According to Karlitekin no one was injured.

A official who spoke to  said the plane had entered Greek air space at 17:58 local time (14:58 UTC) and four Greek fighters took off to escort it. The Italian air force in turn sent up two F-16s to intercept the plane and reportedly forced it to land.

"Passengers have started to leave the plane," an ENAC spokeswoman said.

2,887 ecstasy tablets intercepted at New Zealand International Mail Centre

October 4, 2006

2,887 ecstasy (Methylenedioxymethamphetamine) tablets were intercepted yesterday morning (NZDT) at the Auckland, New Zealand International Mail Center in a joint operation between New Zealand Customs officials and the New Zealand Police. The tablets were being sent to a 32-year-old man living in Timaru from a man living in the United Kingdom. The Timaru man is being charged with importing a class B drug, a controlled substance.

Altogether the tablets had a street value of an estimated NZ$173,000.

The Timaru man has appeared in the Timaru District Court and will be in custody until Thursday.

Bill Perry, Manager for Drug Investigations at Customs, said: "The parcel was posted from the United Kingdom to an address in Timaru. This interception highlights New Zealand's growing problem of illicit drug importation."

So far during 2006 Customs has intercepted a total of 6,026 ecstasy tablets, a decrease of 14,033 for the year of 2005 (20,059). "However importations of ecstasy and other MDMA products are still an area of ongoing concern and monitoring for Customs," said Perry.

The International Mail Centre is the hub for all mail entering or leaving New Zealand. Each month the mail center processes around three million incoming mail items and around two and a half million outgoing. Simon Williamson, Manager for the Northern Ports Customs, said: "Customs screens all mail entering the country using a range of methodologies including our officers' skills and experience, x-ray equipment and detector dogs. Volumes of mail are rising and Customs officers are gearing up for the busy Christmas season."

During 2006 crystal methamphetamine seizures by Customs have risen tenfold relative to the previous year.

Historic 'Tree of Knowledge' dies in Queensland, Australia

October 4, 2006

The tree said to be the birthplace of the centre-left Australian Labor Party, the Tree of Knowledge, in Barcaldine, Queensland has been pronounced dead by a tree doctor.

In May the 200-year-old tree was poisoned with up to 40 liters of Glyphosate, the main ingredient in the herbicide Roundup.

"In May we noticed the leaves falling off it. Now there are no leaves and the limbs are up there in the air just like a ghost," caretaker and local ALP president Pat Ogden said.

According to party mythology the first branch of the ALP was founded under the tree in 1891 by protesting sheep shearers. They were confronted by 1000 soldiers and police for the colonial government and felt threatened of attack. Eventually their leaders were arrested and replacement workers were brought in.

Mr. Ogden, said on ABC radio, referring to the future of the tree "...it really hasn't been discussed yet, but the general consensus is that we'll prune it right back and leave the main part of the tree there and, sort of make a monument out of it...The council are trustees of it, so it'll be up to them to make a final decision."

However those who fear that this may be the death of the tree's DNA have nothing to fear as there is an offspring tree called Young 'Un which was cut during the centenary of the protest and is in the Australian Worker's Heritage Centre in Barcaldine. Local leaders and agricultural officials are trying to create a nursery to create seedlings for sale. The project is still in its trial stage after difficulties in getting the plants to prosper. The Department of Primary Industries are using both grafting and cloning techniques to aid the project.

"If we are successful we could have one in every botanical garden in Australia," says the Mayor of Barcaldine, Rob Chandler.

Tourism for the town increased as people wanted to see the tree before it died.

Mr. Chandler is proposing a farewell ceremony which he hopes will attract many of Labor's highly distinguished.

Police are investigating the poisoning.

The ALP has posted an $AU10,000 reward for any information that can help catch those responsible.

This is the fourth recall due to Sony batteries, with prior recalls by Dell, Apple, and Toshiba. The batteries in this recall are believed to be manufactured between February 2005 though September 2006. This recall comes after an incident in a Los Angeles Airport where an IBM/Lenovo laptop caught fire.

Hubble discovers 16 new planets

October 4, 2006

By peering some 20,000 light years into the star-swarms of the Milky Way's central bulge, astronomers using the Hubble Space Telescope have turned up 16 possible new planets crossing the faces of their stars, two of which have been confirmed. Each one of the candidates is a roughly Jupiter-size body that orbits its host star in just 4 days or less. Five of the possible discoveries whip around their stars in less than an Earth day — causing the astronomers to group them into a new class of "ultra-short-period planets."

In results published in this week's edition of the journal Nature the team of astronomers, headed by Kailash Sahu (Space Telescope Science Institute), used Hubble's Advanced Camera for Surveys to monitor a portion of the galactic bulge in Sagittarius continuously for seven days, shooting one picture every six minutes. Over 180 planet candidates were identified, making the task of arriving at only 16 quite difficult. The biggest source of false alarms was transits by Jupiter-size red dwarf stars. Processing the data took an entire year. "This was the most complex project I have worked on," says Sahu.

This discovery now allows scientists to be relatively certain planets need elements heavier than hydrogen and helium to form. These are typically found in stars that formed after others died, creating a dependence on location and formation. A previous search in 2000 by Dr. Ron Gilliland turned up no planets, even though he assumed they would find as many as 17. The currently accepted reason is that Gilliland's study focused on a stellar nebula, where all of the stars had formed at the same time, and therefore there was a very low abundance of heavier elements.

Sahu knew some scientists would be skeptical of his findings and so he confirmed two of the planets by using the Very Large Telescope (VLT) in Chile to measure the movements of the stars caused by their orbiting partner, a technique known as measuring the radial velocity of the star. Although Sahu believes that at least fifty percent of the candidates have to be planets, he cannot be completely certain. "I think a lot of people will take issue with that," says Dr. Sara Seager, Staff Scientist of the Department of Terrestrial Magnetism at the Carnegie Institution of Washington, on Sahu's uncertainty. "There are lots of nasty tricks nature can pull on us."

More rigorous confirmation will have to wait for new technology, specifically NASA's James Webb Space Telescope, to be launched in 2013. Even so, Seager believes this is still "tremendously exciting. It doubles the amount of transiting planets found!" With two other transiting extrasolar planets announced in September, the confirmed SWEEPS finds brings the number of known — and confirmed — transiting planets to 14.

Talk:Hubble discovers 16 new planets

Notes from presentation given by Dr. Sahu September 21, 5pm
Project: SWEEP – Sagittarius Eclipsing Extra solar Planet Search Sag – Crowded field, in galactic center, northern sky Searching for planets coming in front of star The entire time, for seven days Doubles the amount of known transiting planets (previously 10, 200 by rad. Vel., 2 by microlensing) Ultra short period planets as well (periods around half a day) 5 less than any other period Many large gassy ones found close to star with short periods All found in galactic disk 2 kpc away, relatively massive stars First attempt, none found, expected 17 – Ron Gilliland, globular cluster, very little heavy elements Monitored star’s light curve – must be consistent with that of a planet 1/10000 would be candidates looked at 180,000 stars, so expect to find 18 other phenomena can mimic, but can be accurately predicted. At least 50% must be planets (conservative estimate) two of the stars bright enough for rad. Vel, in order to verify (Chili scope) most of the candidates are like our sun (high element abundance), proving what kind of stars planets form around on average, higher mass star means more heavy elements Hubble instrument just recently installed (2002) Before couldn’t see to galactic bulge Farther and fainter than ever before Planets equally abundant in area Expect Jupiter sized planets, a couple smaller than Saturn Took full year to process data Most amount of data HST has collected in a single week Can use data for other searches 100 billion stars out there, 6% have planets, with confidence can say 6 billion jovian planets “The biggest surprise would be if there are no more surprises.” – Sahu “We could answer the questions we started out with.” – Sahu The planets are too big to form with star Has to get trapped in the orbit “The most complex project I have worked on.” – Sahu

Phone interview with Dr. Sahu – September 27
ME: How do you know it’s not a dwarf? SAHU: cannot rule out everything. But at least 50% have to be planets. We know how many eclipsing stars there are, estimate how many dwarfs, extrapolate from that. A majority must be planets. Found way more eclipsing objects than number of red dwarfs that were expected.

ME: What is the shortest distance of planet from the star? SAHU: Shortest distance from star: 4.1 stellar radii, same as the ones with even larger periods, but in absolute units, .008 AU is the shortest. 740,000 miles

ME: Can you expect to confirm the rest? SAHU: James web space telescope 2013 best chance of confirming the rest

ME: how can you be sure they are all planets? SAHU: lots of statistical analysis. “It gives us confidence that at least a majority of them have to be planets,” would be surprised of all of them turned out to be.

Notes from Phone interview with Sara Seager September 28
Radial velocity only tells us the minimum mass Transit tells us the size and the mass, and from that we can determine the density, which is an important tool in discovering what kind of planet it is. Three of the new planets are unusual, and we can’t fit them into the standard model. One is like Saturn. “We know it’s a planet, but it’s a crazy planet” 2/3 of it is rock. More rock and ice than our whole solar system. Some are so big, that we can’t explain them. There has to be some sort of extra energy in its core. It’s also easier to detect a small planet by transit than by radial velocity There are two paths you can take to learn about a planet. You can image, but the star is so bright, you can’t usually see anything. Then there is transiting. Using this, you can learn all about the planet. "This is tremendously exciting. It doubles the amount of transiting planets found." "There are lots of nasty tricks nature can pull on us." and because we can't be 100% sure of all of them "I think people will take issue with that."

US Nationwide Pollution Permit Restrictions Upheld

October 4, 2006

The US Army Corps of Engineers decision to place restrictions on issuance of nationwide pollution permits has been upheld by a federal court. In National Association of Home Builders v. Army Corps of Engineers, the District Court for the District of Columbia found that the Corps of Engineers had not acted in an "arbitrary" or "capricious" manner in changing the terms and conditions for issuance of a national pollution permit, including reducing the size of area into which pollutants may be discharged from 10 acres to 1 acre, raising the threshold for requiring additional permits from 1 acre to 1/10 acre,

A nationwide permit allows an organization to engage in certain industrial activities on a national basis (such as mining and construction), reducing the amount of paperwork and filings needed for otherwise minor environmental impacts, as opposed to an ordinary permit for a specific location which will engage in activities which generate water pollution.

Due to concerns over the amount of discharge taking place in waterways, the Corps of Engineers began in the 1980s to reduce the authority granted by nationwide permits and to bar use of the permits in certain ecologically sensitive areas.

Some industry groups, including the plaintiff in the above case, The National Association of Home Builders, sued the Corps of Engineers in 2000 over the change in an attempt to block its implementation. Environmental groups, including the Sierra Club, were given permission to intervene in the case in support of the actions of the Corps.

Environmental groups were pleased with the decision, but are concerned over other actions of the Bush Administration, such as the attempts to weaken provisions of the 2002 Clean Water Act to allow additional dumping of construction and mining waste into waterways as fill material.

In order to use their genetic information, eukaryotes must extract bits of the coded information. This occurs via the formation of, which consists of copies of a particular gene within the DNA strand. takes place when proteins are built from the information transcribed with the messenger RNA. Eucaryotic transcription is vital for life. If the transcription is interrupted, as can happen when cells are exposed to certain toxins, the cells will die.

Kornberg documented eukaryotic transcription with snapshots of the process in action. He created the snapshots by crystallizing cellular material partway through transcription, and exposing them to x-rays that produced patterns revealing the intermediate structures. Kornberg's work is vital for our understanding of life at the molecular level, and may lead to novel drugs and medical treatments.

Kornberg's father won the Nobel Prize in physiology and medicine in 1959 for explaining how organisms make  from.

New allegations over the US e-mail scandal hit the Republican party

October 4, 2006 The United States media has revealed a possible romantic relation between a young congressional worker and Mark Foley. The media has also revealed that warnings on Mark Foley's conduct has gone as far back as 1995.

Mark Foley, a member of the House of Representatives caucus on missing children, resigned from seat in the House of Representatives last week after it was revealed that he had sent messages of sexual nature to young men on his staff, the youngest of which has been said to be 16-years-old.

Mark Foley's lawyer has said that his client denies having sexual contacts with a minor and the has checked into a rehabilitation center for alcoholism. His lawyer has also said that his client has declared being gay and that he was abused at a church in his early teens.

The United States president, George W. Bush, said that he was disgusted by Mark Foley's actions; but he defended the Republican House Leader, Dennis Hastert, who has refused to resign over his failure to address the issue sooner.

Wikinews:Dispute resolution/Cspurrier and Neutralizer

Statement of dispute by Neutralizer

 * My current dispute with Craig is simple. He does not assume good faith when it comes to me and he wants me to be permanently banned from Wikinews. I think my block log history shows I have been non-problematic for most of the past few months (with only Amgine feeling I needed a few short blocks) and I do not think Craig has noticed/recognized that improvement in my behaviour (even though,admittedly, much more future improvement is required and promised by me).
 * Since Craig is an Administrator, Bureaucrat and on our Arbcom he has a status that I find intimidating given his repeated attempts to influence other contributors to permanently ban me. He has actually had little direct interaction with me so it is difficult for me to know exactly what he would like me to do in order to regain his assumption of good faith. I hope that this mediation will provide a venue for him to express exactly what he wants to see from me in that regard. Neutralizer 02:35, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

Response by CSpurrier
I still believe Neutralizer should be permanently banned from Wikinews. Assume good faith does not mean we should ignore the facts. The facts are Neutralizer has used sock puppets, made numerous personal attacks, pov-pushed and occasional trolled. I could probably ignore the pov-pushing and the trolling, but the sock puppets and personal attacks are inexcusable. The use of sock puppets shows a blatant disregard for the will of the community and its rules. The personal attacks are a form of abuse that is harmful to the community and no user should be required to put up with. If Neutralizer could “shape up”, I would not have a problem with him continuing to edit. I do not however see any reason to believe that this time should be any different. He has made numerous promises to behave, and they have all been eventual partly or entirely ignored. He either lacks the will or the capability to do so. Though I would very much like for him to prove me wrong and become a polite, productive member of the community, however I very much doubt it will happen. Until the time Neutralizer is permanently banned from Wikinews, I will continue to be polite in my interactions with him and I hope he will do the same.--Cspurrier 23:14, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

Statement by PVJ59
As an outside party in this dispute, I have the following observations to make:-
 * Certain users have been actively trying to have Neutralizer banned and have shown a lack of good faith in their dealings with him, whilst conveniently ignoring problems such as systemic bias that he (Neutralizer) is trying to overcome in his effort to revive Wikinews.
 * Amgine, intentionally or otherwise, abused his status as a sysop to block Neutralizer while involved in a dispute with the latter, thereby goading Neutralizer into claiming (in overly harsh language) that Amgine was misusing his privileges to push his own POV.
 * Craig Spurrier holds almost all the positions of responsibility granted to users (Administrator, Bureaucrat, Checkuser, Arbitrator) and hence his comments against Neutralizer would, understandably, seem intimidating. There is, though, no evidence to show that CSpurrier has misused any of the privileges granted to him. As for CSpurrier "influencing" other editors, that cannot, at this time, be satisfactorily established. It is clear, however, that for one user alone to have so much power is not in the best interests of the project. The solution to that problem would be to make more Bureaucrats, Checkusers, preferably from Asia/Africa/any other region that, due to systemic bias, is not well represented in these positions. PVJ(Talk)[[Image:Flag_of_India.svg|25px]] 12:55, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

Statement by Brian McNeil
I've had my run-ins with Neutralizer, and he - in my opinion - represents a fairly reactionary fringe, his idea of NPOV seems significantly different from mine. There is a tendency to include material that is, when charitably described, influenced by a variety of conspiracy theories. I have had to remove late edits from a number of articles for archiving where the contribution was a poorly worded emphasis of "innocent until proven guilty" that destroyed the flow of the article by assuming the reader was a redneck ready to string up "tham thar terrorists". --Brian McNeil / talk 22:14, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
 * If the concept of Innocent until proven guilty applies to gun-toting drug-dealers, I think it should also apply to "terrorists". Also, your concept of NPOV (as you call it) seems to be rather unorthodox. PVJ(Talk)[[Image:Flag_of_India.svg|25px]] 14:52, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Since when do I need to rely on innocent until proven guilty, the user has over 50 blocks for violation of policies and guidelines. Innocent is a strange word to emphasize here. --Brian McNeil / talk 18:01, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Also as a FYI, I'm talking about removing crap like "The charges are merely allegations and not proven against those detained" which has been tacked onto the end of several articles 2-3 days after they're published. That is a point I take for granted when I read news of someone's arrest, explicitly stating it is expressing a point of view that you either consider the arrests unfair or the charges unfounded. --Brian McNeil / talk 18:04, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
 * No, you are the one who embraces USAGOV promoted conspiracy theories about "terrorists" and "islamofascists" who were factually created by USAGOV and the Saudis and continue to be financed by Afghan opium production. Go get a history book and stop misrepresenting historical fact as being conspiracy theories and weaselly calling me a conspiracy theorist in the process. Just stop the name calling and personal attacks. My edits are not "crap" nor is material I include "influenced by conspiracy theories". Your accusations are false and I demand you apologize for them. Neutralizer 15:56, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Take your unmedicated delusions and your personality defects, and consult a mental health professional. My "accusations" are considered opinions based on substantial evidence and the conclusion I come to is that you are naught but a troll who should have permanently been blocked a long time ago. --Brian McNeil / talk 18:29, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
 * MessedRocker asked me to apologize to Brian or be blocked for 6 months but I don't know why there is no apology from him to me? Anyway, I'm sorry Brian. Neutralizer 19:25, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

Statement by: DragonFire1024

 * My statement is on the discussion page of this "dispute" but I feel the need to place it here...

 * Neutralizer, you were blocked for POV pushing. You were banned for a personal attack to every editor and user on this Wiki. Your parole is based on cerain requirements that you have agreed to follow. Whether he or anyone else wants you banned is not a violation of policy, or good faith. He wants you blocked because his patience has been exhausted with you. Do you intend to bring IlyaHaykinson or Messedrocker here too? I see no "dispute" here other than you seem to be upset that he does not want you around anymore.

 * He has not influenced me at all. Nor has anyone else. I support your parole because I do not want to be accused of "not giving you a chance." Where is this evidence that you say he is influencing users? All I see is a statement with nothing to back it up. In order for him to "assume good faith" regarding you, show him good faith and show the community good faith.

 * This resolution, until such evidence of "manipulation" comes forward is a diversion from the project and IMO this is not "useful edits" as you, neutralizer agreed to do as a condition of parole. Jason Safoutin 20:06, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

 * The graph to my right clearly and indisputably shows that global warming is caused by the falling numbers of pirates worldwide. Neutralizer, you do care about the environment, right? Help the world and become a pirate. --+Deprifry+ 22:06, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

 * you miss the point...EVERY time he is blocked or goes away for awhile the numbers go down; anyone who really cares about the project should be begging him to stay involved. 67.71.122.65 02:03, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Every time Pirates go down, global temperature increases (For as long as we have records of temp and pirates). Maybe people are just drawn to the amount of drama he creates. (People like fighting and flamewars). user:Bawolff. 02:31, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Last I checked (assuming no new developments I'm unaware of) Neutralizer waas invited to stay under MessedRokers probation plan. Thats more then fair in his favour in my humble opinion. user:Bawolff
 * I assume you all know the chart is bogus as no one knows how many pirates there are so Deprify must be saying all charts are bogus. I know people who believe all education is bogus and also a few who believed that Saddam had wmds so I suppose the fact some people believe all charts are bogus just falls into the category of "to each his own". Neutralizer 16:01, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
 * No, the chart is not bogus because "no one knows how many pirates there are". The interpretation is bogus because it is a typical example of the correlation implies causation fallacy. Pretty much like your egotistical interpretation of Alexa statistics actually. That you didn't understand it pretty much proves my point. --+Deprifry+ 18:14, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
 * No, your "point" is vacated at origin through use of a bogus chart. I don't wish to "understand" nonsense. It is nonsense to use a bogus chart to disprove a causation effect. A non-bogus chart could serve to show causation which is why you resort to a bogus chart. I think the Alexa chart is non-bogus. Your use of a bogus chart to support non-causation theory only serves to prove by opposition that a non-bogus chart can show causation. The knowing use of a bogus chart to prove or disprove anything is quite a good example of BushSpeak,double speak and pseudointellectual faulty logic which seems to have washed over our younger generation and culture. Do you really imagine one could disprove gravity by burying an apple and claiming that since it dropped no further than where buried that means gravity is a myth? Did you know that today in Florida less than 50% of the black boys finish high school? Did you know that the illiteracy rate in the USA was 4% in 1952 and is 18% today? Did you know that all IBM employees were required to have a small sign on their desks which said "THINK" for decades but now only the top executive tier have the signs?Is there a connection between that stuff and the use of a bogus chart to make a bogus point? I think so but you may not. Here is a now deleted section of pedia's Skull and Bones section on education. I think it's interesting, you may not; BUT I will never understand how it could be less relevant than a bogus chart being used to attempt to disprove anything at all.

'Bones and U.S. Education

Bones Importing the Prussian Social Control Model

The connections that Bonesman George Miller had with high finance and high politics through Bonesman William Walter Phelps (S&B, 1860) helped 'steer' U.S. Education to take root in a German-Prussian vein as well. For the purposes of this article, "in a Prussian vein" means according to the principles founded in the requirements of the Prussian royalist state. In 1816, after the total defeat in the Napoleonic Wars, Prussian legislation went very right wing, basing its premises on 'Right-Hegelian' Fichte. The desire to make education compulsory for all was hardly for the interests of educating people or enriching their lives. It was for the interests of creating a perfectly hierarchical and centrally manipulatable society of the future with a small coterie of elites actually doing the thinking for the whole society, and the others blindly following orders, having been crippled by the eduational frameworks to be unable to know anything different.

In the Prussian strategy, the whole population is categorized into three "educational castes" to formulate future easier elite control of the population.

1. those who will be policy makers, who are taught to think (0.5%),

2. those who will be engineers, lawyers, doctors--who are taught to partially think, only for accreditation in specialized topics (5.5%), and

3. the children of the masses, who are to be taught how to follow orders (94%).'

"In other words "compulsory education" may have had from the start a social design purpose for a hidden curriculum: aiming to maintain an ever more difficult to achieve form of elite managerial dominance--as calls for democracy, widened political participation, and the removal of the political perks of aristocratically inherited wealth were expanding throughout European society and the United States. The Prussian educational system in Germany as well as the United States was idealized as a strategic tool to demote political and intellectual equality and to reformulate an aristocratic society in novel formal institutions. It could even be called a "de-educational" model, because it promotes a society that is endemically uneducated and trained mostly to follow someone else's centralized instructions thoughtlessly."

 * I can see Neutralizer that your attitude, editing and way of thinking on Wikinews has not changed since your break. I can see you have no interest in changing nor do you have any interest in following the conditions of your "parole." This is supposed to be a dispute resolution page, not a page for you to express your views on the project or opinions of other users. If you have a problem state it. Otherwise take the conspiracy stuff to your user page or off Wikinews. Jason Safoutin 22:23, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
 * In addition, not that since you have been back, you have not made any positive contributions as to articles or writing any. Not such a good note to start off on. Jason Safoutin 22:27, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Jason, I'm just trying to follow the flow of things like the bogus chart and Brian's personal appraisal of the value of other people's edits; and there are no worthwhile news stories around right now that I can find. I did notice over the past month that you have been contributing a lot and that's great. Neutralizer 01:05, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
 * I thank you for the compliment. But you have been gone for a month and come back with this attitude and unuseful contributions by stirring up a quiet and calm community. Peaceful to say the least. I do not pay attention to charts. Bogus or not. I pay attention to the site, the users, and everything that goes on here as best as I can. Brian has in no way judged the value of my edits. If he did I don't care. That what a Wiki is. Collaborating editing with users everywhere about anything. On the point of "no worthwhile articles..." write one for a change.

Possible eruption at Ruapehu Volcano in New Zealand

October 5, 2006

A volcano alert has been issued after a moderate 2.8 magnitude earthquake occurred at Mount Ruapehu last night at 10.30 p.m. (NZDT). The quake also broke the Crater Lake cable which generated a call-out from the lahar response team.

The New Zealand Department of Conservation has issued a high risk warning for the crater at Mount Ruapehu and Dave Wakelin, community relations officer for Tongariro-Taupo, said: "The warning was issued Thursday morning, in case more volcanic activity follows."

It is yet to be confirmed if there was an eruption, as poor weather made it hard to see the crater from plane. Craig Miller, vulcanologist for Geological and Nuclear Sciences (GNS Science), said: "I had hoped to see if the lake was surrounded by blackened snow. All we could see was cloud." Steve Sherburn, duty vulcanologist for GNS Science, said: "The cause of the alert would remain uncertain until the weather cleared and there could be a proper examination. Part of the DOC lahar monitoring system appears to have been damaged at the time of the earthquake which suggests there may have been an eruption, but other monitoring data says that any eruption must have been relatively small." If there was an eruption it was probably only a small one.

The alert level is remaining at one, which means there are signs of volcanic unrest.

Monitoring of Mount Ruapehu will continue.

This was the first reported call-out since 1995.

IRA disbands military structure

October 5, 2006 The Independent Monitoring Commission has reported that the Provisional Irish Republican Army has undergone major changes within their military structure and shows that the IRA Army Council wants to put its military campaign behind it. The Commission consists of John Alderdice, a former Alliance Party leader; Joe Brosnan, former Secretary General of the Department of Justice, Republic of Ireland; John Grieve, former Deputy Assistant Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police and former head of the Metropolitan Police Anti-Terror Branch; and Dick Kerr, former Deputy Director of Central Intelligence Agency.

The report states the IRA no longer has the capacity to mount a military campaign anymore or return to one. The units that have been shut down were responsible for weapons-making, arms smuggling and training. The IRA decommissioned their arms last year.

The report also mentions that the IRA has also put its criminality beyond use and is "clamping down" on criminals within the organization, said Lord Alderdice, as he presented the report. He also added, "That doesn't mean that criminal activity by all members has stopped but the leadership has made public statements and internal directions, investigated incidents of breach of the policy, even expelled some members and has emphasised the importance of ensuring that business affairs are conducted in a legitimate way."

Finally, the report added that there is not enough evidence or intelligence to identify who killed Denis Donaldson, a British spy who infiltrated the IRA and Sinn Fein, before revealing his status as a spy.

However, the report added that splinter groups like the Real IRA (RIRA) and Continuity IRA (CIRA) are still threats and are still continuing their activity. The Real IRA was the group behind the deadly 1998 Omagh bombing. The Irish National Liberation Army (INLA) "was not capable of undertaking a sustained campaign [against the British State], nor does it aspire to" according to the report.

It is also noted the creation of two new organizations, Oglaigh na hEireann (Irish Gaelic for "Volunteers of Ireland" and is used by the Irish Defence Forces and the various IRAs.) and the Republican Defence Army. However, the groups are small dissident factions according to the report.

The report also added that the two loyalist paramilitaries, the Ulster Defence Association (UDA) and the Ulster Volunteer Force (UVF) are also beginning to move from violence but at slower pace and not at a grassroots level like the IRA. Another loyalist paramilitary, the Loyalist Volunteer Force

The report was received warmly by Irish Toaiseach Bertie Ahern and British Prime Minister Tony Blair. Ahern, said "These positive and clear-cut findings are of the utmost importance and significance. It is time to make decisions and for Northern Ireland to look to the future."

"The IRA has done what we asked it to do, and while issues like policing remain to be solved, the door is now open to a final settlement, which is why the talks next week in Scotland are going to be so important." said Tony Blair in a live statement.

In a surprising reaction, the notoriously hardline leader of the Democratic Unionist Party, Ian Paisley, also welcomed the report. He believes that his party's pressure is working and if Sinn Fein signs up to policing there could be a deal. Paisley said, "If the police question is settled absolutely on a democratic basis and principle we would have come a long way along the road."

Sinn Fein leader Gerry Adams said "The DUP don't have anything other than very limited options. They will or will not participate in power-sharing arrangements. If they don't participate they are condemning people here, but particularly their own constituents, to second class public services, run by second class fly-in, fly-out British ministers. All the DUP can do is to delay, is to attempt to slow down, but they can't stop the process of changing."

Parents kidnap daughter to stop marriage in U.S.

October 5, 2006 On Friday, August 4, bride-to-be Julianna Redd's parents, Lemeul and Julia Redd, told her that she was going on a shopping trip but instead she was driven 390 km (240 miles) from Provo, Utah to Grand Junction, Colorado by her parents trying to talk her out of getting married.

Her now husband, Perry Myers, called the police when Julianna and her parents did not attend the pre-wedding dinner.

The Redds spent the night in Colorado before going to Provo the day the couple were supposed to be married at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Temple in Salt Lake City, Utah.

They were married at the temple on Tuesday, August 8.

Julianna Myers said she will be pressing charges.

"I was totally confused and manipulated," she said.

"I've never had a case quite like this," said Utah County Attorney Kay Bryson, after charging Lemuel and Julia Redd.

"It is strange that parents would go to that extent to keep an adult daughter from marrying the man that she had chosen to marry."

Lemuel, 59, and Julia, 56, are expected to be in court on Thursday, October 26 facing charges of second degree felony kidnapping. If convicted they could face one to 15 years imprisonment.

The couple, both students at Brigham Young University, are expecting their first child in May.

Singapore Airlines to be compensated for A380 delays

October 5, 2006 Singapore Airlines says that it will be compensated by Airbus for the additional delay in delivery of its new superjumbo A380's.

The double-deck commercial aircrafts' delivery, originally due later this year, will be delayed until October 2007. The main fault has been found to be problems in the aircraft's 500km of wiring. In a statement on the Airbus website, the company said that "the root cause of the problem is the fact that the 3D Digital mock-up, which facilitates the design of the electrical harnesses installation, was implemented late and that the people working on it were in their learning curve".

Airbus is currently two years behind schedule. In a statement, SIA said that, "The delays are disappointing; all the more so because the flight test and certification programme is proceeding well, and the delays are down to production issues."

Analysts are predicting that the compensations could well run into a few hundred million US dollars. SIA has stated that the compensation details will be kept confidential

Singapore Airlines is the first airline to fly the A380 and will be receiving the first four aircraft.

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

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 Hedleypanama. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Hedleypanama~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 23:18, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
