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 TS3. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name TS3~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 23:34, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Romney announces presidential candidacy

February 13, 2007 Former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney formally announced his presidential candidacy yesterday outside of Detroit.

"I don't believe Washington can be transformed from within by lifetime politicians, there've been too many deals, too many favors, too many entanglements — and too little real world experience managing, guiding, leading," said Romney, who was a successful businessman before entering politics. Romney focused on his leadership experience outside of government.

Romney made the announcement at the Henry Ford Museum, something which the National Jewish Democratic Council heavily criticized saying that they were, "deeply troubled by Governor Romney's choice . . . to kick (off) his presidential campaign on the former estate of a well-known and outspoken anti-Semite and xenophobe." A spokesman for Romney said, “Governor Romney believes our country needs to put innovation at the forefront if we are to ensure a stronger, safer and more prosperous America, the Ford Museum embodies that bold, innovative spirit.”

Romney's record as a moderate and his Latter-day Saint faith are expected to be his primary campaign challenges.

Romney, born in Detroit, the son of former Michigan Governor, Republican Presidential candidate, and automotive pioneer George Romney, attended Cranbrook School of Michigan and Harvard Business and Law Schools. Romney ran against senior Massachusetts senator and Kennedy family member, Ted Kennedy. Romney won 41% percent of the vote against Kennedy in the closest election in Kennedy's entire tenure in the United States Senate. Romney was also CEO of the Salt Lake Organizing Committee which was in charge of planning the 2002 Winter Olympics from 1999 to 2002, he took charge after the 2002 Winter Olympic bid scandal. He also sat on the board of Massachusetts-based office supply giant, Staples, Inc.

Sai Baba upsets Telangana activists

February 18, 2007

Indian spiritual leader Sathya Sai Baba, 81, found himself embroiled in a political row after his recent remarks characterising the partition of the state of Andhra Pradesh (AP) as a "great sin".

On a recent visit to Chennai he publicly spoke out against the proposed partition of India's fourth largest state, calling such a move a "mahapapam" (great sin) and claimed that there was no demand from the people to bifurcate AP into Telangana and Andhra states.

The comments caused an outcry among pro-Telangana activists who angrily voiced their protests in street marches and attacks on the Sivam building, the Baba's temple in Hyderabad, which was staffed by a few devotees. Shouting anti-Sai Baba slogans, the protestors pulled down a large picture of the holy man and trampled on it before taking it outside and setting it on fire. An effigy of the Baba was also reported to have been burnt, and twenty protestors were arrested following several police complaints.

Responses
The Baba, who preaches love and universal brotherhood, has several thousands of followers both in India and abroad including several heads of state, politicians, military officials, judges, film stars and sportsmen. Criticism of the Baba's comments have come from several quarters.

K. Chandrasekhar Rao, leader of the Telangana Rashtra Samithi and former Union Minister, suggested that the Baba should restrict himself to religious functions and not involve himself in politics. "Otherwise, he should quit religion and join politics," Rao said. Congress MP Madhu Yaskhi Goud criticised the Baba for not assisting with the ongoing fluorosis problem in the Telangana region. Poet and Maoist sympathiser Gaddar asked the Baba to "shut up".

Swami Agnivesh, social activist and President of All-India Arya Samaj, voiced his criticism against the Baba for focusing on something "unnecessary" instead of speaking out on the recent Nithari killings. "As he is not a political leader he should not make such comments," he said, adding that he intended to write a protest letter to the Baba.

Sai Baba's followers in his home town of Puttaparthi responded by calling a 'bandh' in which shops and business establishments were shut down to protest against the remarks of the Telangana leaders, and effigies of Rao, Goud, and Gaddar were set alight. K. Kesava Rao, President of the Andhra Pradesh Congress Committee, maintained that the Baba's comments had been "misinterpreted" and that the remark was not political. "All that Baba wanted to emphasis was unity and human oneness. But reference to Telangana in his speech was unfortunately misread," he said. Digvijay Singh, Congress secretary-general disagreed with suggestions that Chief Minister Y. S. Rajasekhara Reddy could have instigated the Baba to make his statement, and confirmed that his party approved plans for the creation of a separate Telangana state. "With due respect to Sai Baba we can say that the work for setting up the second state reorganisation commission will go on," he said.

Archaeologist finds earliest tools used by non-human apes

February 14, 2007

Archaeologist Julio Mercader at the University of Calgary has discovered hammer-like tools dating back 4300 years. The tools are thought to have been used by non-human primates to crack nuts.

The large size of the stones are of too great a weight to have been favoured as tools by humans. Further, humans are not believed to have been in that area at that time for the primates to have learned from them by observation.

Mercader suggests that this implies the primates learned to use the tools either independently of humans or else by a common ancestor (of common descent).

Further evidence supporting the hypothesis that the hammers were not used by humans includes that the nut residue on the tools are of nuts which were not regularly a part of a human diet.

Mercader elaborates in a prepared statement: “Some of the nuts require a compression force of more than a thousand kilograms to crack. And the idea is to crack the shell but not smash it — it’s not a simple technique.” [Editorial correction: force is a vector while mass is a scalar. By context, the force is approximately 10KN (10 KiloNewtons).]

Social and Political implications follow from the findings also. Anthropologist Agustín Fuentes (at Indiana’s University of Notre Dame) said, “It puts the nail in the coffin on those who say chimp tool use is atypical.”

This parallel of human evolution may also lead to further debate on the legal rights of primates.

Talk:Archaeologist finds earliest tools used by non-human apes

The last line I have taken as logical inference from the news. I do not know if this sort of thing is allowed, although I hope it is to provide an answer to readers who ask "Why is this important?"

Further, I am not experienced in the writing of news articles, and so my writing style is not in the form of that practiced choppy style readable to the lay grade 12 student. Necessary changes made in this regard are welcome and encouraged.

THOUSANDS OF FREE ROSES GIFTED TO VANCOUVER WOMEN

VANCOUVER (February 15, 2007) â€“ Thousands of roses were handed out to the women of Vancouver this Wednesday, gifts from the online dating site Kisscafe. The promotional gifts were given in celebration of Valentine's Day and to show appreciation for the city's women. Twelve Kisscafe volunteers were needed to undertake the task of handing out the large volume of roses and gift packages around the busiest areas of Vancouver.

Each Kisscafe volunteer was dressed in a white tuxedo, wearing white angel wings. They carried silk lined baskets filled with red long stem roses, and offered the gifts to women of all ages in each area. The gift packages included candies, Valentine cards, temporary tattoos, and customized condoms.

The campaign was designed both to bring attention to the newly launched website and act as a gesture of good will. "Vancouver's women have been so supportive of us since our site launched", said Kisscafe President Fabrice L'Heureux, "so we knew this was the perfect opportunity for us to say thank you, to get Kisscafe's name out to those that might not know us, and to remind everyone that romance is still alive and well in our city."

The Kisscafe angels were accompanied by photographers who documented the events of the afternoon and peoples' reactions to the gifts. "The response was incredible," said Tyson Miller, Kisscafe's marketing director. "All the women seemed genuinely touched, which also made us feel great. All in all, we had a really successful day."

Kisscafe is a free online dating website, launched in 2006. The site offers members all the features of pay dating sites, but at no cost whatsoever. Kisscafe features include blogging, posting pictures, a question and answer forum, instant messaging, and mobile capabilities. Since launching, Kisscafe's member base has grown considerably, and continues to do so every day.

If you'd like more information, or you'd like to schedule an interview with Fabrice L'Heureux or Tyson Miller, please contact Tyson Miller at (778) 869-1643 or at tysonmiller@gmail.com

Wikinews:WikiProject template sharing

Welcome to the WikiProject template sharing, a collaboration area and group of editors dedicated to improving, promongulating, and dissemination of Wikipedia's large rich collection of productivity enhancing tools and utility templates to our fellow editors and sister projects.

This is the Wikinews part of WikiProject template sharing. For more information, see the project page on Wikipedia.

The coverage of WikiProject template sharing is fairly vast and important because many sister projects are manned and staffed by dedicated specialists in a narrower field of interest (images, quotes, source documents, species, news, words, teaching, and so forth), they have not attracted the fairly large and talented population of computer science and engineering trained editors that frequent the hallowed digital halls of Wikipedia and Meta-wiki. Using these two sister's as seed stock for administrative, discussion, documentation, interwiki connection and analysis tools or utility templates is the prime thrust of this effort.

Indian museum combats spread of HIV

February 14, 2007 An Indian sex museum Antarang in Mumbai teaches sex workers and their clients safer sex. According to the museum's management, the visitors find learning about safer sex from the graphic exhibits more effective than from lectures. The museum is run by the government as a part of anti-HIV program.

Antarang is a one-room exhibition displaying models of human anatomy and illustrations. This is the only sex museum in India. Since the museum is located in the red light district a great bulk of its visitors are prostitutes who visit the museum together with their partners being taken there by health workers.

There are about 5.7 million people infected with HIV in India - more than in any other country. This number is expected to quadruple by 2010 unless people become less reluctant to speak about the vital necessity of safe sex openly. Indian authorities use many innovative ways to spread necessary knowledge about safer sex and awareness of sexually transmitted diseases.

Many of prostitutes who visited the museum say Antarang changed their lives as they realized the necessity of using a condom.

Indian authorities plan to open another sex museum away from the red light district in order to attract a wider audience.

User:Symode09/Ninemsn Release New Page

'February 14, 2007 editorial It is used daily by over three hundred thousand Australians every day as a hub for the latest news, email, spaces and messenger to name a few.

Ninemsn, a partnership website between Microsoft and the Nine Network, is on its way for a major revamp after almost three years of a similar design.

The new website is set to "revolutionalise the way you browse the web." The new beta which was released today includes new graphics and simplified navigation.

The site in the past has been criticized by many for is lack of information and relevence.

"Being a google user personally, I've always found the page annoying and reasonably useless however, after only a few minutes of using the new page, I am a convert."

Adam Rout, an IT analyst from Loop Australia explains.

Javascript has been used within the website in hundreds of cases to give a page which you can click on a news article and read it without having to load a new page.

Simply type in your postcode and in a second, using a dial up connection, the weather appears. If you want to see what is on all the TV stations, read up about the latest movies and their times, or find out about the lastest restraunts and bars. All you need to do is type your post code and away you go!

Funding gap forces library closures in Jackson County, Oregon

February 14, 2007

Due to a US$23 million budget shortfall, all public libraries in Jackson County, Oregon are scheduled to close April 6. The U.S. Congress did not renew the Secure Rural Schools and Self-Determination Act, which replaces property tax revenues with revenue sharing from timber harvests. Jackson County used the revenue to pay for libraries and sherriff's patrols. Voters rejected a property tax increase last November. A similar increase will appear on the May ballot; such increases must pass a double-majority vote: a majority of county voters must turn out for the election, and a majority of those must support the increase.

Supporters hope the measure will pass this time. "Many people didn't believe we were going to close libraries." said County Commissioner C.W. Smith. The Ashland City Council has said it would find a funding solution to keep their branch of the library open; other cities have not made similar statements. Some alternative funding solutions, such as charging subscription fees, have been considered. However, charging fees for access to libraries is illegal in Oregon.

Jackson County is located in Southern Oregon, and has a population of 181,000. The Jackson County Library System consists of 15 branches.

Jackson County, Oregon rejects tax to reopen libraries
Hi Demi, thank you for the article. I think I addressed your concerns about how to cite the county sources. It can be a bit tricky when the source isn't a traditional news-outlet. I will agree with you that the current guidelines don't adequately address these cases. I look forward to more articles from you. --SVTCobra 00:20, 17 May 2007 (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 Demi. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Demi~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 23:14, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Renamed
 This account has been renamed as part of single-user login finalisation. If you own this account you can |log in using your previous username and password for more information.

DaimlerChrysler plans to cut 13,000 jobs

February 14, 2007 International car company DaimlerChrysler announced today it would cut 13,000 jobs in North America. It could part ways with the loss-making business.

It also plans to cut two Chrysler plants in an attempt to make Chrysler business profitable by 2008.

About 9,000 production jobs will be cut in the U.S., 2,000 production jobs in Canada, and 2,000 salaried jobs.

"It's hard to say if it's enough ... but the stock is reacting nicely, which is further verification that this is a favorable restructuring move and a much-needed one at Chrysler," said chief investment officer at Solaris Asset Management, Tim Ghriskey.

Following some speculation that the companies Daimler-Benz (Mercedes-Benz) and Chrysler, which merged together in 1998 to make DaimlerChrysler, would split, chairman Dieter Zetsche denied allegations.

"We do not exclude any option in order to find the best solution for both the Chrysler Group and DaimlerChrysler."

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

Australian PM visits New Zealand

February 15, 2007

The Australian Prime Minister (PM), John Howard has arrived in New Zealand today for various duties.

While in New Zealand Mr Howard will talk to the New Zealand PM, Helen Clark; participate in a joint New Zealand and Australian CEO conference at Wellington's Victoria University; open the new high commission for Australia in Thorndon; lay a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Warrior; and talk to the leader of New Zealand's opposition party, National, John Key.

Ms Clark has said that their talks will cover various topics, including trade, global warming, problems in the Solomon Islands, Fiji, and the settling of Tonga, and about New Zealand's apples continuing to be banned in Australia. They will also talk about other regional, and international topics. Keith Locke, Green party member, is urging that Ms Clark talks to Mr Howard about sensitive issues, including urging Australia to withdraw from Iraq, release David Hicks from Guantanamo Bay, and Australia not ratifying the Kyoto Protocol. Mr Howard said, "We remain quite concerned about Fiji and will compare notes and talk about that as well as other bilateral issues."

Mr Howard said that the relationship between himself and Ms Clark are good. "We put aside any ideological differences we might have and we focus very much on getting good results." He also said that the relationship between Australia and New Zealand "...has got a lot of history, it has got a lot of common culture, it has got a lot of common sporting endeavour. But, like all close relationships, if you take them for granted they tend to fray at the edges over time."

Mr Howard will return to Australia on Friday.

North Korea agrees to end nuclear program

February 15, 2007

North Korea has agreed to end its nuclear program and close down its nuclear facility at Yongbyon within 60 days. An international team of inspectors will be allowed into their facilities in exchange for financial and humanitarian aid, along with economic and energy assistance. The deal was reached during "six party talks" involving North Korea, the United States, Japan, China, South Korea and Russia.

In return, North Korea will receive 50,000 metric tons of fuel oil. If it closes down more facilities, as planned, the country will get 1 million tons eventually. So far there is no agreement on getting rid of North Korea's plutonium stockpile, which is estimated to be sufficient to produce six to eight atomic bombs.

U.S. President George W. Bush called the agreement a "unique deal". "First of all, unlike any other agreement, it brings together all of North Korea's neighbors in the region, as well as the United States" said Bush during a press conference at the White House.

According to Bush, the United Nations also agrees with the terms of the resolution. Washington's former envoy to the United Nations, John Bolton, however, said the agreement undercut UN sanctions.

As a consequence of the development in North Korea's policy, South Korea is now set to resume high-level talks with its northern neighbor. The negotiations will start on February 27, 2007 in Pyongyang and could lead to the delivery of rice and fertilizer to the impoverished North.

SAFETY bill would require U.S. ISPs to log on-line user activity

February 19, 2007

A bill introduced by a Republican representative from Texas, Lamar Smith, would require all ISPs in the United States to maintain a log of all on-line activity by IP addresses for an unspecified period of time, imposing fines and prison time of one year on service providers that fail to do so.

The proposed legislation would require:

Not later than 90 days after the date of the enactment of this section, the Attorney General shall issue regulations governing the retention of records by Internet Service Providers. Such regulations shall, at a minimum, require retention of records, such as the name and address of the subscriber or registered user to whom an Internet Protocol address, user identification or telephone number was assigned, in order to permit compliance with court orders that may require production of such information.

The bill, titled Internet Stopping Adults Facilitating the Exploitation of Today's Youth Act (SAFETY) of 2007, was introduced to the House of Representatives on February 6.

Smith, along with seven House republican co-sponsors, designed the legislation as an effort to combat on-line child pornography. A separate portion of the legislation reads: "Whoever, being an Internet content hosting provider or email service provider, knowingly engages in any conduct the provider knows or has reason to believe facilitates access to, or the possession of, child pornography ... shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 10 years, or both."

The legislation's effect would, in practice, attempt to force ISPs to connect dynamically assigned IP addresses to specific individuals. It would also extend the responsibility to any Internet content hosting provider which the bill defines as any service that:

 * (A) stores, through electromagnetic or other means, electronic data, including
 * the content of web pages, electronic mail, documents, images, audio and video files,
 * online discussion boards, and weblogs; and

 * (B) makes such data available via the Internet

Internet privacy advocates are skeptical over the vagueness of the bill. In its present form the bill leaves to the U.S. attorney general, Alberto Gonzales, unspecified powers in setting the limits of the legislation.

Bloggers cite the bill as an invasion into something, "That includes, well, everything. IM conversations, E-mails and Web surfing will all be recorded and maintained, lest the ISP face penalties of up to a year in prison," wrote William K. Wolfrum at WorldGolf.com.

Marvin Johnson of the ACLU's Washington legislative counsel said, "This represents an incredible invasion into our privacy and freedom to use the Internet without the government reading over our shoulders," according to InternetNews.com.

BaselWorld Fair 2007 to open its doors in April

February 15, 2007

The year 2007 marks the meeting of the major representatives of the watch and jewelry industry at BaselWorld Show, Basel, Switzerland. The Show will take place in the period of April 12 - 19, 2007. The international event is to attract over 2000 companies from 45 countries and about 90,000 visitors.

At present day the luxury goods business holds quite strong positions in the world industry and is still developing at high rates due to appropriate economic climate. Thus, BaselWorld is perceived by watch and jewelry producers and their partners as favorable new grounds for their further development.

BaselWorld is organized annually by MCH Swiss Exhibition (Basel) Ltd with a purpose to provide new business opportunities for the participants who are expected to exhibit their latest products in the exhibition area of about 160,000 m2. Visitors come to BaselWorld to keep aware of the current trends of watch and jewelry making, while retailers and wholesalers discover new partners and strengthen their links with well-established ones.

The exhibition is divided into product sectors presented in the six exhibition halls, among them there are the Hall of Universe and the Hall of Elements. This year the management of the Show has taken care of updating and redecorating the design of the halls.

All the participants of the event will be able to expand their business contacts beyond the fair in the BaselWorld Village located nearby. The 'village' comprises special facilities for partners to discuss their matters in informal atmosphere.

Israel to webcast al-Aqsa mosque excavations

February 15, 2007

Israel's administration press-service has said that webcams are being installed at the holy site of the Al Aqsa Mosque-Temple Mount complex in Jerusalem, to enable people to watch excavations at the site over the Internet.

Users will be able to watch live the archaeological process and the following construction works from February 15.

Excavations at the site were halted on Sunday after protests by Muslims, who feared that the digging and the construction of a new pedestrian bridge in the area can have a negative impact on the al-Aqsa Mosque and the Qubbat as-Sakhra.

Last week Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas declared the construction and blockade as "hostile measures" against Muslims. Israeli authorities say that these worries are groundless. They also accuse "irresponsible elements" of manipulating Muslim sentiment in order to gain political mileage.

The Internet broadcast is to be set at the official website of the Israel Antiquities Authority, the department responsible for archaeological research within the country. Currently the site includes a three-minute video that explains in English the essence of the project in interpretation of the main archaeologist of Israel – Dr. Gideon Avni, the director of the Excavations and Surveys Department of the Israel Antiquities Authority.

A weak spot in HIV spotted

February 15, 2007

Scientists have discovered a place on the outside part of AIDS virus that might be vulnerable to antibodies blocking the virus from infecting human cells. This could mean that an anti-HIV vaccine is possible in the future.

According to Peter Kwong, researcher at U.S National Institute of Health (NIH), this study is likely to contribute to finding HIV's "site of vulnerability" which could then be targeted with a vaccine that prevents the initial infection. The team of researchers have made atomic-level images of HIV and revealed the structure of a protein on the surface of the virus. This protein, called gp120, binds to an infection-fighting antibody and seems to be susceptible to attacks by this antibody called 'b12'. B12 can broadly neutralize the virus.

Researchers detailed the precise interaction as the virus tries to hook on to and infect cells sent to protect the body. They have captured an image of how the virus of human immunodeficiency attacks the human cells. Dr. Gary Nabel, an NIH vaccine expert and a co-author of the research, describes this first contact between the virus and the cells as a 'cautious handshake' which then becomes a 'hearty bear hug'. The virus grabs and infects the cells that are aimed at protecting the body.

Then the virus mutates quickly to fight the immune system's attacks as well as to counter the effect of antibodies that block the proteins with help of which HIV binds to a cell to infect it.

Scientists agree that a vaccine against AIDS would be an ideal way to stop the pandemic of this disease, but, with all importance of these findings, much work and studies are still needed. This implies that any vaccine against AIDS is probably still many years away.

The AIDS virus has killed more than 25 million people since it was first detected in 1981. Sub-Saharan Africa is the most severely affected by the epidemic. Approximately 40 million people live with HIV.

About a dozen potential vaccines are currently under development. Two products, one by Merck and one by Sanofi-Aventis, are now in advanced human trials.

note about pov
"They also accuse "irresponsible elements" of manipulating Muslim sentiment in order to gain political mileage."

This sentence make the article ballancing on the edge leading to a abyss of onsided pov. i suggest that either it go away or expanded with a statement from the muslim pov. for now its 'npved' away international 17:41, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
 * I have rolled back this change, a statement by "Israeli authorities" is not a POV point. Refer to the prior article in the related section for information that could be added, and how it could be added within the boundaries of NPOV. --Brian McNeil / talk 17:45, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes it the Istrael gov pov. I see it also unessesary if not to add dramaturgy in the article. I then suggest to add muslime accusation that Israel use arceology findings as a excuse for more occupation 'with historic right' international 17:49, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Maybe next time you'll add the counter rather than detract relevant information from the article. POV information can be included in articles as long as it is correctly attributed.  In this case it was, but the article neglected to detail the controversy over the works.  Information was missing, nothing needed removed. --Brian McNeil / talk 19:15, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

Harper snubs breakfast club visit to Ottawa; all other Canadian parties represented

February 15, 2007

CityTV reporter Dwight Drummond accommpanied a diverse crew of Toronto public school students to Ottawa, with intentions of meeting Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper.

While students, part of an inner-city breakfast club, had the opportunity to tour the Parliament Buildings at length, Harper stayed far away from the quick, scheduled hello. He failed to even send an MP in his place, to the event, scheduled as part of Black History Month.

Every other political party with seats in Parliament sent a representative to greet the visitors. Present was the deputy leader of the Liberal opposition party, Michael Ignatieff, and prominent NDP MP Olivia Chow, who is the wife of NDP leader Jack Layton.

While Chow and Ignatieff both hold office in Toronto, where the Citytv broadcasts to, and the Conservatives were shut out of the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), even those without self-interest dropped by. Bloc Quebecois leader Gilles Duceppe spoke to the students, despite the fact his party only runs candidates in Quebec.

City's coverage of the tour focused on what the students did see, rather than what they missed.

Harper seems to have made a regular practice of ignoring or delaying scheduled visits. Canadian Auto Workers union leader Buzz Hargrove mentioned he has yet to talk to the Prime Minister. Hargrove represents over 265,000 workers in every province and territory in Canada.

(a) Regulations- Not later than 90 days after the date of the enactment of this section, the Attorney General shall issue regulations governing the retention of records by Internet Service Providers. Such regulations shall, at a minimum, require retention of records, such as the name and address of the subscriber or registered user to whom an Internet Protocol address, user identification or telephone number was assigned, in order to permit compliance with court orders that may require production of such information." So while it might be more broadly construed, all the law says is that they at least have to keep name and address.--DCo1 19:56, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

 * My take is that the content of an Internet user's activity is not what is at stake here, merely their presence. So if some person became upset and made an issue over something posted by an Internet user, the ISP could be compelled, if the complaint has enough gravity, to provide records that associate a user to the content being complained about. -Edbrown05 10:53, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
 * So in an indirect sense, it is about accountability for one's on-line actions. -Edbrown05 10:53, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Still does not mention SPECIFICALLY IM's e-mail etc...thats misleading. DragonFire1024 21:31, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
 * The above extract implies that name to IP information must be available, very little more. Since most ISPs assign dynamic IP addresses the required data log is a list of who was online from what IP when, not a detailed log of communications. --Brian McNeil / talk 22:20, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

Off-topic
Off topic though this may be, but just how many $$$ are wasted every year with think-tanks and study groups to come up with the cutsey names for bills that form acronyms that would make you ashamed to vote against them? --Brian McNeil / talk 22:26, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
 * I think that's an excellent question. Bawolff ☺☻ 06:15, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

The problem is, given the short excerpt, the bill DOES NOT exempt IMs, surfing, etc. Nor does it exempt requiring conversations etc to be recorded. It basically amounts to an internet wiretap without the requirement of a warrant. So they are basically saying if you use the internet you are guilty until proven innocent. The bill also doesn't delineate the AGs powers in this. So if a child porn pop-up occurs when you are at some sexual site you could be assumed guilty with all the good stuff that goes with it.
 * I think you're being unnecessarily alarmist. There's no way to monitor all the traffic on the Internet to the level you imagine the government wants.  Taking my usage as an example, I work from home.  I'm roughly halfway through my work day and I've transferred about 40Mb over a VPN connection.  That's excluding my emails, regular surfing, and encrypted Skype calls.  If fine granularity logging is required then Internet access in the US will become unaffordable, and the government will have to ban all the services that allow direct encrypted user-user communications.  The economic damage that would cause is enough to discount draconian logging measures.
 * Oh, and please sign your posts. You do this by appending ~ four tilde characters which the wiki software replaces with your username and a timestamp.
 * However, if you can find a well-reasoned argument that logging beyond IP assignment will be required then please post a link to it. Most of what I've seen is alarmist "blogosphere" stuff written by people who don't understand what communications are safe and which are not, thus categorising everything as dangerous.  Were all IMs, emails, and surfing sessions logged then every ISP would need a datacentre like Google's and your ISP would be the ideal place to get a backup of your PC from. --Brian McNeil / talk 14:11, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

Here's a better idea!
I am completely agaists censorship, but I do think the better alternative would be to have a government blocklist of child pornography sites. Sites would be added only if they matched certain critera so that our government won't start blocking everything it doesn't want us to see, but I see no harm in the inability to access child pornography distrobution sites...208.183.225.11 19:51, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
