Talk:Jenson Button wins 2009 Australian Grand Prix, Brawn teammate comes second

Review

 * It was the first time the team had ever raced and the first race of the season, therefore they collected their first ever points and as they came both first and second go to the top of the constructors championship table for the first time . It was also the first time since 1970 that a new team has started from pole position in it's first race, the first time since 1977 that a new team had won it's first race and the first time since 1954 that a new team has finished 1st and 2nd in it's first race (both from ). Nanonic (talk) 22:36, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Excellent! Add the last two citations to the sources list and drop me a ping and I'll be happy to update my review and publish. -  Amgine | t 04:16, 31 March 2009 (UTC)

Volunteers and food needed for flooded Manitoba, Canada

March 31, 2009 Local municipal and provincial volunteers in Manitoba, Canada are exhausted in their efforts to divert the rising waters of the Red River of the North.

It has been hard work with little sleep for the residents who live on the shores of the Red River to shore up their defences with sandbags, build dikes, clear frozen culverts and break ice jams

Volunteers to spell relief for local volunteers and food are desperately needed.

"It's a week now we've been doing this ... you're talking four, five, six public works guys. In my one community we've got 25 volunteer firefighters and those guys have been going 24/7, so of course it's wearing them down." said Paul Guyader, Manitoba's emergency measures coordinator.

"We're dealing with one of the biggest floods the province has ever seen," said Steve Strang, mayor of St. Clements, Manitoba "We've put out hundreds of thousands of bags already. The municipalities are working very well, we're working with the provincial government, we've brought in every possible resource we could to address this issue.  The volunteerism within the community has been phenomenal."

The Portage Diversion has taken some spring waters from the Assiniboine River and diverted the flow to Lake Manitoba.

Roseau River Anishinabe First Nation has been totally evacuated, as well as many homes near the Canada – United States border.

The cold weather is freezing the ice jams into place. Guyader has had 2 Amphibex Excavators operating on the river breaking up ice.

The Red River is right now 16.7 feet (5 metres) above spring ice conditions. The Red River Floodway gates cannot be opened with the current ice jams.

"If we operate now, we can get ice jamming going into the floodway, jamming up against the St. Mary's bridge, as such, the floodway capacity would be reduced and would cause higher water levels in the city of Winnipeg." said Steve Topping, Manitoba Water Stewardship spokesman

The floodway was constructed in 1968 following the 1950 flood to divert the overflow spring flooding waters of the Red River. The floodway has been widened the since the 1997 “flood of the century" and the expansion is expected to be completed this spring. As well Manitoba built permanent dikes around communities within the flood plain since the last two major floods..

The Red River waters will crest between the beginning of April to mid April, at which time also the weather should be warming up. Communities are bracing for higher water levels, more ice jams as well as melting snow in the warmer spring temperatures.

Talk:4.3 magnitude earthquake strikes the San Francisco region

Earthquake articles
I think we need some guidelines on what we will and will not report as far as earthquakes in California. California, like Japan and a few other areas in the world, are especially prone to earthquakes. A 4.3 earthquake, while that may be noteworthy in some parts of the world, is a pretty common occurrence in areas like California. It's like writing an article on "water is wet" or "Florida was sure hot today!" I don't want to discourage anyone from writing articles but I do think we need a bar on what's acceptable for reporting as far as earthquakes in this area of the country. Mike Halterman (talk) 21:43, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
 * The bot in the #wikinews IRC channel doesn't report anything below 5 magnitude - i.e. <5 means extremely unlikely to be any casualties or property damag. --Brian McNeil / talk 21:45, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
 * People write about what they want to/are interested in. We shouldn't discourage that unless it is truely not news - and earthquakes are a piece of news, even if a minor one here. Blood Red Sandman  (Talk)   (Contribs) 21:50, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Then we can open that up to weather. A 90-degree day is hot, no? In Florida that happens every day for six months straight. Should we start writing articles when that occurs? I'm saying that in areas where it's common for seismic or weather events to occur, I really don't think minor events should be reported, or if they should, they should be part of a Wikinews Brief. Mike Halterman (talk) 21:53, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I agree to an extent with Mike. But a 4.3 is a decent sized quake for that area of California. Though if no damage injuries or the likes, then its not really news per se. Just because the bot doesn't report it does not necessarily mean its not a big thing. 4.X and 5.X happen in the Middle East often that cause damage. Honestly if we have an article or two on small quakes here and there, if even just California, then I don't see an issue. Its not like we write an article on every quake there is. Though I only tend to write about ones that are big like 7.0 + (of course depending on where it was at). DragonFire1024 (Talk to the Dragon) 21:55, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Maybe there isn't an issue in the article itself existing but is it really necessary for this to be today's top headline? An earthquake in California? Seriously? Is it slow today or what? --78.149.171.174 10:51, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I just saw this in CNN's scrolling headlines this morning. It's important enough for world news... (I'm not speaking to the necessity of putting it on the main page.) Cary Bass (talk) 14:03, 31 March 2009 (UTC)

US sergeant pleads guilty to four murders in Iraq

March 30, 2009

A United States Army sergeant has decided to plead guilty to the murders of four Iraqi civilians. Sgt. First Class Joseph P. Mayo, 27, is the fourth serviceman convicted over the killings, which occurred in March or April 2007.

The Iraqis were arrested in Baghdad under suspicion of attacks upon patrols by the army in the city. This was due to the rifles and ammunition in their possession, However, there was not enough evidence to hold the men.

Instead, Mayo and a group of his soldiers took the men to a remote area and executed them. The bodies, which were never recovered, were dumped in a waterway near Baghdad and the victims were never identified.

Last year Spc. Steven A. Ribordy, 26, and Spc. Belmor Ramos, 24, pleaded guilty to being accessories to the four murders while medic Sgt. Michael Leahy, 28, was convicted of murdering one man and shooting another in the incident. Charges against two other soldiers have been dropped, and charges are still pending against Master Sgt. John E. Hatley, 40, who Mayo testified had the idea of executing the prisoners.

"He said we should take care of them. I agreed," said Mayo. At Ribordy's trial last month, where he confessed to his role, he also implicated Hatley, saying one victim was "still breathing and gurgling on the ground" after a shot to the head, so Hatley killed him by shooting him in the chest. Leahy had Ribordy destroy any pictures of the men before the murders.

The court martial was held in Grafenwoehr, Germany, as the soldier's unit - the 1st Battalion, 18th Infantry Regiment, 2nd Brigade, 1st Infantry Division in Iraq - is now based there as part of the 172nd Infantry Brigade.

"I really believed I was protecting my soldiers," Mayo said in court on Monday. "I take full responsibility for my actions. Now I have to pay for my mistake."

GM and Chrysler receive Canadian loans amid US restructuring ultimata

April 3, 2009

General Motors (GM) and will receive  from the government of Canada and the provincial government of Ontario, however no more will be forthcoming from either Canadian or US governments unless the companies can reinvent themselves.

"This is a regrettable but necessary step to protect the Canadian economy. We are doing this on the assumption that we obviously cannot afford either in the United States or Canada a catastrophic short-term collapse." said Stephen Harper,.

"We cannot, we must not, and we will not let our auto industry simply vanish. This industry is, like no other, an emblem of the American spirit; a once and future symbol of America's success," said Barack Obama,. "These companies - and this industry - must ultimately stand on their own, not as wards of the state."

Chrysler will receive 1 billion and may in fact be eligible for as much as CA$4 billion. If Chrysler succeeds in the next 30 days with a restructuring plan it would be eligible for a US$6 billion loan. A part of Chrysler's restructuring plan must include a partnership with within 30 days to appease the US administration. Fiat is a supplier of smaller vehicles, and the merger will help Chrysler to be viable in the North American market. A Chrysler court would inevitably lead to it being sold off.

As a part of Chrysler's restructuring plans, Tom LaSorda, the president of Chrysler announced that Canadian operations would fold if it does not receive both the US commitment of $2.3 billion of aid and a new CAW contract to reduce all-in costs by CA$19 per hour. As a result of this announcement Chrysler's auto sales volume in Canada dropped 23% compared to March of 2008.

GM has until the end of May to restructure its company to receive up to CA$7.5 billion. As part of the companies restructuring, General Motor’s chief executive Rick Wagoner was replaced Sunday with Fritz Henderson, the current chief operating officer. Henderson spoke out on Tuesday that GM has submitted a restructuring plan which would close five plants, and this may be increased to meet the requirements for financial aid. He is in full compliance with Obama's auto task force to seek bankruptcy if GM cannot negotiate with their unions, bondholders and others.

GM recently brought forward the "GM Total Confidence" program providing consumer purchase protection for customers who lose their job for economic reasons within the first two years from purchase. As a result of Chrysler's restructuring announcement in Canada, GM's Canadian vehicle sales volume fell only 17.3% compared to 2008, an increase from the previous month.

GM must reduce some of its which include its pensions and union health care costs. A part of GM's ailments arose from investing in supplying truck and during an economy of high gas prices when consumers were demanding fuel efficient vehicles. ,, is hoping that the CAW will support the restructuring process and re-negotiate their agreement. Whereas a negotiator has said, “I don't see how the UAW will do anything until they see what the bondholders will give up." The Obama administration is looking toward bankruptcy proceedings for the automakers, "as a mechanism to help them restructure quickly and emerge stronger. [It will] quickly clear away old debts that are weighing them down. What we are asking is difficult. It will require hard choices by companies. It will require unions and workers who have already made painful concessions to make even more. It will require creditors to recognise that they cannot hold out for the prospect of endless government bailouts." said Obama.

The auto parts suppliers and IT software exporters in India have already been affected by the declining auto sales. GM and Chrysler software contracts provide US$300 to 350 million a year to vendors in India. As well these two major automakers usually award US$1 billion contracts to auto parts suppliers. "We are worried and closely watching the developments in the US to gauge the impact. The decline in auto sales in the US has already hit the order books of Indian suppliers," said a Delhi auto parts supplier.

"Going forward, the industry will undoubtedly be smaller, but if our efforts are successful it will be viable and it will support good jobs for Canadians," said Clements.

, Congresswoman put forward the CARS act which provides a US$3,000 to 5,000 incentive for those who trade in their vehicle for a fuel-efficient car. "It clearly stimulates the economy, and it gets the consumer into the showroom and gets them buying again. But importantly — and this is what I particularly like about it — it really helps the environment quite a bit in two respects." said William Clay Ford Jr., executive chairman of Ford Motor Co.

has not come forward with requests for assistance.

Since December GM and Chrysler have received US$17.4 billion government loans.

New romantic comedy film to star Drew Barrymore, Justin Long

March 31, 2009

Drew Barrymore and Justin Long have been cast in a romantic comedy called Going the Distance.

The New Line Cinema film is to be directed by documentary filmmaker Nanette Burstein, who made the films The Kid Stays in the Picture and American Teen. It will be Burstein's feature film debut.

Going the Distance, written by New Line staffer Geoff LaTulippe, will focus on a couple dealing with challenges arising from a cross-country romance. Media reports did not indicate a release date had been determined.

The film is being produced by Adam Shankman and Jennifer Gibgot via their independent production company, Offspring Entertainment.

Barrymore and Long last appeared together in the 2009 film, He's Just Not That into You, which grossed $145 million worldwide. The duo dated in real life, but broke up in July after dating for about a year.

FDA warning on pistachios after salmonella contamination

April 1, 2009

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a recall on Salmonella contaminated Pistachios for 31 states in the United States.

"Our advice to consumers is that they avoid eating pistachio products, that they hold onto those products, that at this stage they don't throw them out, they simply hold on to them as we're learning more about them to determine if they're part of the recall," said Dr. David Acheson, associated FDA commissioner for food. However, it is expected that the recalled list may grow as the investigation continues.

Kroger Co. is recalling shelled pistachios called Private Selection Shelled Pistachios in a 10-ounce container with UPC code 111073615 and the sell dates of December 13 or 14 on the packages. Setton Farms based in California, the pistachio supplier, is voluntarily recalling their pistachios.

Products containing pistachios have not yet been recalled, but are under investigation. The salmonella contamination was discovered by Kraft foods during routine testing last Tuesday, before any illness were reported. They notified the FDA and the FDA notified Setton Farms. So far the source of contamination has not been revealed.

The 31 states initially affected are: (in alphabetical order) : Alaska, Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Missouri, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia and Wyoming.

Signs of salmonella include fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. Those most vulnerable are the young, the elderly or those with an already compromised health condition.

This recall follows the long list of recalled peanut related products, peanut butter and candy bars which caused a salmonella outbreak at the end of January.

77 names added to fallen journalist memorial in Washington, D.C.

March 31, 2009

The names of 77 reporters, photographers and broadcasters were added to a memorial to honor slain journalists in the in Washington, D.C..

"These 77 individuals were brought together in a fellowship that none of them would have chosen, a fellowship created by their commitment, their courage and, ultimately, their sacrifice," said Chris Wells, vice president of the, which runs the Newseum.

The Newseum Journalist's Memorial contains the names of 1,913 journalists dating back to 1837. Thirteen of the names added Monday were journalists killed in Iraq in 2008, which has been the most dangerous country for journalists since the Iraq War began in 2003.

Mexico was the second deadliest country for journalists last year, with five journalists being killed due to drug violence. According to Newseum records, Mexico had not been so dangerous for journalists in at least five years.

Among the slain journalists in Mexico was Armando Rodriguez, a reporter who covered crime along the border of El Paso, Texas, for 10 years. He was shot to death in his driveway while sitting in his car with his eight-year-old daughter.

"These murders strike at the heart of democracy by silencing speech and by depriving a community of the information it needs to conduct its affairs," said Newseum chairman Alberto Ibarguen.

Another was, who ran the independent Russian news site , which the Russian government tried to shut down. Yevloyev was shot while in police custody; authorities said he tried to take an officer's weapon.

Some of the journalists added to the memorial were killed in accidents, rather than murders or war zones. Tom Borrelli, a sports writer for , died after falling down a set of metal stairs at a high school football stadium and landing on his head.

"I hate more than anything that it had to come to this, but it did come to this," said Borelli's widow, Karen. "And the honor is just tremendous. He would say he didn't deserve it, but he did."

Steven Shoob, a broadcaster with  in Georgia, was also added to the memorial. Shoob was struck by a car while covering an accident story in in July 2008.

Among the new names, 62 journalists were killed in 2008 and 15 were killed in prior years, including  reporter Sarah Park, who died in 1957 in a small plane crash while covering a tsunami.

The name of the youngest journalist on the memorial was added Monday. Ryan Rendleman, 22, of the Daily Egyptian of who died in April 2008 when a tractor-trailer hit his parked car while he was on assignment.

I remember hearing about this con a good while back. The people responsible for scam were targeting single men and single women, that were traveling to see the Olympics. It was a big mess. The local singles in general were safe, but this is a common theme for pretty much any international event. It was a very popular scam during the world cup too.

Welcome
--Brian McNeil / talk 08:34, 31 March 2009 (UTC)

Hello Derek, I just read your Lismore story. Interesting. The established editors here are never going to publish it though unless you put it in the format they like. You could take a look at an existing story (especially its "edit" page) to see what the format is. Myself I don't care much about all that, but it would be nice if you gave your source for the story. That enables other people to go to the source to find out more. For instance I thought I might elaborate on the story a bit, but I can't find any information on it. Also they have a rule here that an established editor has to check your sources before they'll publish your story.

Unfortunately there seem to be too few established editors here to check all the stories that are written. Consequently alot of stories just sit unpublished (i.e. not listed on the Main page) for a while and then get deleted. I hope yours does not suffer that fate. Good luck! --Ong saluri (talk) 06:29, 31 March 2009 (UTC)

Southern California auto maker announces fully-electric sedan

April 1, 2009

🇺🇸While hybrid vehicles have found considerable popularity in the United States since their introduction, one difficulty associated with the rollout of a fully electric car has been the comparably high price and poor performance, compared to an internal combustion engine-driven car of similar size. Tesla Motors claims that their Model S, a sedan which runs solely on electricity, will be more affordable.

Tesla first entered the automobile market in 2006, with a prototype of an electric vehicle designed on the roadster style. While the car, whose exterior design was based on the Lotus Elise, accelerated well and had considerable range, its cost of US$109,000 was prohibitive for many and to date only 300 have been sold, with a thousand more ordered.

Tesla says, however, that the Model S could sell for around $56,400, with the actual price some $7,500 lower after a Federal Government tax credit on electric vehicles.

Tesla claims the Model S has a range of up to without recharging and can reach a top speed of 200 km/h (125 mph). It is powered by a 454 kg (1001 lb) battery pack.

Initial plans were to build the car in New Mexico, but instead the Model S will be built near the company's headquarters in San Jose, California.

South Downs to get National Park status in UK

March 31, 2009

The South Downs, an area of chalk downland in southern England is to gain National Park status under measures announced earlier today. In the announcement, Environment Secretary Hillary Benn was quoted as saying "It is fitting that in this year, the 60th anniversary of the radical legislation that gave birth to National Parks, we are celebrating an addition to the family."

The designation has not been met with approval by some. Nigel Waterson, an MP for nearby Eastbournce, alleges to Channel 4 News that "ministers have ignored the views of almost all local authorities in the area, as well as local people."

The new park and associated management is expected to be in place in two years' time.

Forces capture Somali pirates who mistakenly attacked naval ship

March 31, 2009

A group of ships from several navies gave chase to a small pirate boat, leading to a capture, in the Gulf of Aden, Somalia. The pirates had fired upon a tanker of the German Navy, the Rhön-class FGS Spessart, in the mistaken belief she was a commercial vessel.

A small pirate skiff approached the tanker and opened fire upon her. However, sailors on the Spessart fired back. The skiff fled, and the German supply ship gave chase. After requesting assistance from other vessels in the area, Greek, Spanish, Dutch and United States warships all joined the chase. A Spanish marine aircraft and two US Marine Cobra helicopters were also involved.

After a five-hour chase the Greeks were able to board the pirate boat, capturing the seven people on board. Their weapons were seized and they have been transferred to German frigate Rheinland-Pfalz for questioning pending possible prosecution. Assault rifles and rocket propelled grenades were among the weapons seized.

A Spokesman for NATO said "Poor judgment by the pirates turned out to be a real opportunity for seven nations representing three task forces to work together and strike a momentous blow for maritime safety and security." A spokesman for the German Ministry said the incident "showcased the incredible international naval capabilities" and "highlighted the complexity of counter-piracy operations".

U.S. Congress considers lifting Cuba travel ban

March 31, 2009 🇺🇸In the United States Senate on Tuesday, Senators, a Democrat from North Dakota, and , a Republican from Wyoming, introduced the "Freedom to Travel to Cuba Act" (S.428), a bill that would lift the travel restrictions that have prevented U.S. citizens from visiting Cuba since the early 1960s. The bill is co-sponsored by 20 senators, and the House of Representatives is considering a companion measure, H.R. 874, introduced by Representatives and Jeff Flake. The House measure has 121 cosponsors.

Senator, the ranking Republican member of the , spoke in favor of the bill, saying that the United States' embargo on Cuba had "failed to achieve its stated purpose of bringing democracy to the Cuban people."

Senator Bob Menendez of New Jersey, a Democrat and a second generation Cuban-American, opposes the bill, arguing that free travel by Europeans, Canadians and the citizens of other Latin American countries has not helped to democratize the island nation. "The regime has not opened up," said Sen. Menendez. "On the contrary, it has used resources to become more oppressive."

The United States has not had since 1961, and has maintained a  on the country since 1962. President Barack Obama has spoken in favor of changing U.S. policy towards Cuba, but has not offered specific details.

The issued a press release supporting the bill. "The US embargo on Cuba is a 50-year failure, and lifting the ban on travel is a good first step toward a more rational policy," said Myron Brilliant, an officer of the organization. Other organizations issuing press releases in support of the bill include the U.S. Rice Producers Association and the non-profit Center for Democracy in the Americas.

US home prices drop at record levels

March 31, 2009

According to data released on Tuesday, home prices in the United States plunged at the highest rates ever recorded in January.

The S&P/Case Shiller index of home prices in twenty major cities in the US announced that values of homes have slumped over 30% since their peak in 2006 across the country. Regional variations have resulted in larger losses in states such as Nevada and Florida. In the year to this January, prices fell by 19%.

"There are very few bright spots that one can see in the data. Most of the nation appears to remain on a downward path," said the chairman of S&P's index committee, David Blitzer, in a statement.

Consumer sentiment also slumped, with the Conference Board's index of confidence rising only slightly from last month's all-time low, reaching 26.0.

"Job conditions are terrible. There is a general sense of uncertainty because people are peppered with bad news around the world," said Brian Bethune, an economist for IHS Global Insight.

Fireball lights up sky across Canadian prairies

March 31, 2009 A bright object, likely a meteor, was seen shooting across the sky and was sighted by residents across the Canadian prairies early Tuesday morning.

At approximately 6:30 a.m. local time (MDT) the object appeared to early morning travelers, commuters and joggers.

"It kind of glowed green, and it looked like it was falling very, very quickly. It just kind of reminded me of a falling star or something," said Cheryl Cook-Taylor, who was traveling to work in North Battleford, Saskatchewan.

"It kind of disintegrated. It was traveling north to south. Very bright. I actually thought it was a plane taking off from the airport and then bits started falling off. Really quite an amazing sight," said another witness to the phenomenon.

Newspapers and radio stations across Saskatchewan and Alberta have been inundated with callers reporting the fireball. It has been described as a bright green, yellow and blue streak flashing across the skies which then broke into pieces. A geologist from the University of Calgary, Dr. Alan Hildebrand, says the object was likely a meteor that was between 10 and 100 kilograms in size. The light show lasted around ten seconds.

On November 20, 2008 prairie skies were previously lit up by a fireball. A huge meteorite had disintegrated, and pieces were found near the border city of Lloydminster.

UN agency condemns new Afghan "Shia family law"

April 1, 2009 An act signed into law by Afghan President Hamid Karzai last month dramatically rolled back the rights of women in that country, according to human rights groups and a United Nations report on the bill by the United Nations Development Fund for Women.

The Afghan government has not provided a copy of the text of the Shia Family Law to the UN or to other outside groups requesting it, citing "technical problems", however, the UN and opposition politicians say that the bill contains numerous provisions restricting the rights of women, such as giving their husbands priority in court; requiring the husband's permission to leave the house, obtain education or employment, or to see a doctor; and reserving the custody of children to male relatives.

In its most controversial provision, though, the law's Article 132 requires wives to submit to their husbands' sexual demands, and says that a husband can expect sex with his wife once in every four days except in the event of illness. The United Nations argues that this is equivalent to spousal rape. Spousal rape is specifically prohibited in 45 countries worldwide and may be prosecutable by existing rape statutes in others.

The circumstances of the bill's passage have raised questions as well, with Senator Humeira Namati saying that the bill was not read out or debated in the House of Elders, the Afghan National Assembly's upper house and Shinkai Zahine Karokhail of the House of the People stating the bill received only limited debate in the lower chamber. "They wanted to pass it almost like a secret negotiation," Karokhail told the Guardian. "There were lots of things that we wanted to change, but they didn't want to discuss it because Karzai wants to please the Shia before the election." Namati calls the new law "worse than the Taliban".

According to Karokhail and others, the law received Karzai's support in order to boost his popularity among Afghanistan's Shi'a population, which comprises an estimated ten per cent of the country, ahead of an upcoming election in August. A Monday ruling by the Afghan Supreme Court has allowed Karzai to remain in power in the interval between the expiration of his term on May 21 and the upcoming Afghan presidential election in August. It is unclear whether the law would apply only to Shi'a persons or to all Afghans.

Nonetheless some changes were made to the bill; the proposed minimum age of marriage for girls was raised to 16 from aged 9 and temporary marriage is not provided for. MP Shukria Barakzai says that "before this was passed family issues were decided by customary law" and that the new law, while not perfect, is an "improvement". MP Ustad Mohammad Akbari defended the bill as well, saying it protects women's rights: "Men are stronger and women are a little bit weaker; even in the west you do not see women working as firefighters."

A spokesman for Mr. Karzai gave reporters no comment.

Shipwreck off coast of Libya; hundreds of African migrants feared dead

March 31, 2009

The (IOM) stated that over 200 Arab and African migrants are feared drowned after three boats, bound for Europe, sank in the Mediterranean in separate incidents.

No less than 21 bodies were recovered on Tuesday when the boats capsized in heavy winds and rain near Libya's coast. 23 were rescued by workers on a oil rig close by.

"A boat with 257 migrants on board sank on Sunday off the coast of Libya. Twenty-three people were saved and 21 bodies were retrieved," said the IOM chief of mission in Libya's capital of Tripoli, Laurence Hart.

Officials say that search and rescue efforts are ongoing, but that hopes of finding any more survivors are diminishing. "It is hard to imagine that there are survivors among the missing by now," Hart said.

The people aboard the boats are suspected to have been smuggled across the sea to Italy. Libya's 1.770 kilometres of coastline is a popular point of departure for migrants hoping to escape poverty and find a better life in Europe.

"This is the beginning of the smuggling season in the Mediterranean. This tragic incident illustrates, once again, the dangers faced by people caught in mixed irregular movements of migrants and refugees in the Mediterranean and elsewhere which every year cost thousands of lives," said  (UNHCR) spokesman Ron Redmond.

There has been a history of people-smuggling into Italy from Libya: almost 37,000 immigrants considered to have entered illegally landed in Italy in 2008, the Italian interior ministry reports. The figures are a 75% increase from the previous year.

Italian interior minister Roberto Maroni said that patrols on the sea would start on May 15 in an effort to curb the smuggling across the Mediterranean. "We have done everything possible to prevent arrivals. We have signed a deal with Libya and the Libyan government is committed to launch on May 15 patrols along the coasts with six vessels," he said. "Until then, we will continue to ask the Libyan authorities to intensify controls, but I guess that there will still be arrivals."

Australia flash flooding traps thousands

April 1, 2009 300 millimeters (11.8 inches) of rain fell in six hours resulting in flash flooding on the New South Wales mid-north coast in Australia trapping thousands.

"We're looking at a flood that is around the one in one hundred year flood level," said Phil Campbell, State Emergency Service spokesperson.

Ambulance crews spent the night rescuing stranded residents caught off guard by the sudden deluge. As many as 2,700 residents had been trapped by the floodwaters. 420 people sought refuge in evacuation centres over night, of these all but 70 have returned home. The Red Cross flood evacuation centre in Urunga was left without power but still harbours 300 who sought refuge there.

Inland floodwaters trapped more than 1,000 residents in Coffs Harbour, New South Wales over night. "It does seem likely that we'll need to make a natural disaster emergency declaration and that's something which obviously then brings some resources in. The most immediate challenge of course is for the 3,000 or so people who are still isolated and over 300 who are in evacuation centres at the moment." said Steve Whan, NSW Emergency Services Minister.

Residents are being urged not to travel through the flooded areas.

Floodwaters are starting to recede, however the Bureau of Meteorology does not see an end to the heavy rains.

US government files lawsuit against BP Exploration in Alaska

April 1, 2009

The United States government has filed a civil lawsuit against BP Exploration (Alaska) Inc. (BPXA) alleging that the company "violated federal clean air and water laws" by "illegally discharging" more than 200,000 gallons crude oil during two oil spills in 2006 on Alaska's North Slope in Prudhoe Bay.

BPXA previously pleaded guilty to one count of criminal negligence in illegally discharging the oil and paid US$20 million in damages. As a result of the plea, the lawsuit was filed saying that they "failed" to prepare for such a disaster by implementing "certain [sic] spill prevention measures" as the law requires.

The lawsuit, filed on behalf of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the [DOT]-Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA), alleges that BPXA "illegally discharged more than 200,000 gallons of crude oil from its pipelines" and "violated the Clean Air Act by improperly removing asbestos-containing materials from its pipelines" It also says that they "failed to comply in a timely manner with a corrective action order that the [DOT]-Pipeline and PHMSA issued to BPXA pursuant to federal pipeline safety laws."

According to the Associated Press (AP), BPXA spokespeople state that the company has taken certain measures, making sure daily operations are safe.

"We have taken significant steps to ensure that our operations are safe and reliable, and protect the environment. Those include building a new $500 million system of oil transit lines at Prudhoe Bay," said spokesman Steve Rinehart to the AP.

The spills were discovered on March 2, 2006 and covered nearly two acres. It was initially estimated that nearly 270,000 gallons had spilled. The official loss was put at 212,252 gallons.

BPXA, a subsidiary of BP America, specializes in exploring and finding locations to drill for oil, as well as drilling for it.

Former NZ Prime Minister confirmed as head of UNDP

April 2, 2009 Former New Zealand Prime Minister Helen Clark has been appointed as head of the United Nations Development Program.

The appointment follows a unanimous vote by the UN General Assembly yesterday. Clark will take up the role by April 20, replacing current UNDP Administrator Kemal Dervis. Clark is reportedly eager for the role, comparing it to winning her first election and becoming Prime Minister. "I guess this is another of those moments," she said.

The UNDP gives training and advice to developing countries to spur global development and to help them meet the Millennium Development Goals. It has offices in 166 countries and an annual budget of around US$5 billion. Its Administrator is the third highest ranking member of the United Nations after the United Nations Secretary-General and Deputy Secretary-General.

Clark has a long political career, having been first elected to Parliament in 1981. She was New Zealand's first elected woman Prime Minister, serving for three terms between 1999 and 2008. She became leader of the social-democratic New Zealand Labour Party in 1993, and led it until her defeat in the 2008 general election.

She has previously held a number of Cabinet portfolios, including Health, Housing, Conservation, and Arts, Culture and Heritage. In January 2008 Clark won the United Nations Environment Programme Champions of the Earth award in recognition of her government’s promotion of sustainability initiatives. In January 2009 she was recognised by the New Zealand Herald as the Greatest Living New Zealander.

Clark's appointment is expected to lead to a by-election in her Mt Albert electorate.

Honda demonstrates mind-reading robotic technology

April 1, 2009

At its headquarters in, Japan, demonstrated on Tuesday technology which links a person's thoughts with robots.

The operator wears a helmet which, but also uses infrared sensors to detect changes in blood flows in the head. The information is sent to a computer, which can then execute robotic movements such as opening the trunk of the vehicle or turning on the car's air conditioning. The commands usually take just seconds to reach the robot.

Honda also released a video where a humanoid robot named  was operated by a person wearing the helmet. The employee was stated to be thinking about raising his right hand, after which Asimo moved its right arm.

Honda states that it could be quite some time before the technology is ready to go live due to difficulties such as the human brain's liability to become distracted, creating mixed thought patterns. A related problem is the amount of focus required by the operator.

"Practical uses are still way into the future." said Honda Research Institute Japan Co executive, Yasuhisa Arai. "I'm [just] talking about dreams today."

Mushroom corals change from male to female and back again

April 3, 2009

In a recent discovery by researchers at Tel Aviv University, it has been determined that Mushrooms Corals (Fungiidae) can change sex from male to female and back again female to male.

It was in 2004 that scientists had collected two species of Mushroom Corals near Japan and tagged them. They were kept in a lab until after the full moon when then would send out sperm or eggs in gamete explosions. Mushroom corals were classified as male or female. The corals were returned to the sea and researchers repeated the laboratory experiment in 2006 and 2007.

The gamete explosions on tagged mushroom corals revealed that the corals had changed sex. In 2006, 75% of the corals had changed sex, and in 2007, 80% of the corals had changed sex, some returning back to the original sex they had been tagged with.

"No one reported before on the fact that some coral species may change sex. I believe this was quite a big surprise to all coral reef scientists," said lead author Yossi Loya, a zoologist at Tel Aviv University.

"We never realised in our wildest dreams that these corals can undergo sex changes. This is really exciting." said Professor Robert van Woesik, marine biologist at the Florida Institute of Technology.

State trooper, firefighter save truck driver after New Jersey crash

April 1, 2009

A New Jersey state trooper and off-duty firefighter saved the life of a trucker who crashed on the New Jersey Turnpike. A tractor-trailer veered across eight traffic lanes and jackknifed into a guardrail Tuesday morning near a turnpike entrance ramp in Edison just off route 287. Robert Harrison, the 44-year-old driver, suffered an apparent heart attack following the crash.

Trooper Sean Fitzgerald applied a defibrillator and began CPR when he realized Harrington wasn't breathing. Firefighter Tom Brennan assisted with CPR until an ambulance arrived.

Harrington, of Fitchburg, Massachusetts, was taken to an area hospital and is listed in critical condition. No other vehicles were struck during the crash.

Authorities said others at the scene also assisted, including a turnpike employee and two motorists who carried Harrington out of the truck as police arrived. Fitzgerald said he had never used the defibrillator before Tuesday.

"As a trooper, you see more negative than positive out there," Fitzgerald said. "It feels good when you can help someone and it feels good knowing that all those people had stopped to help before I got there."

State Police Sergeant Stephen Jones said the crash was likely caused by a medical issue, but they are still investigating.

Comments:UN agency condemns new Afghan "Shia family law"

ha their religion sucks!!!

=One thing= No one wants to admit that in Iraq they have real rights for the women. It's sad Afghanistan expect our troops to die for their freedom when they are acting like the Taliban.--KDP3 (talk) 14:40, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

=What did you expect?=

The new Constitution of Afghanistan (adopted after the Taliban was kicked out) says:

 * Article 2 [Religions] (1) The religion of the state of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan is the sacred religion of Islam. (2) Followers of other religions are free to exercise their faith and perform their religious rites within the limits of the provisions of law.

 * Article 3 [Law and Religion] In Afghanistan, no law can be contrary to the beliefs and provisions of the sacred religion of Islam.

 * Article 54 [Family] (1) Family is a fundamental unit of society and is supported by the state. (2) The state adopts necessary measures to ensure physical and psychological well being of family, especially of child and mother, upbringing of children and the elimination of traditions contrary to the principles of sacred religion of Islam.

 * Article 149 [Islam, Fundamental Rights] (1) The provisions of adherence to the fundamentals of the sacred religion of Islam and the regime of the Islamic Republic cannot be amended.

So, as you can see, this is a perfectly constitutional law in Afghanistan. The question - to all countries whose troops are right now in Afghanistan defending this regime - is, why are you willing to pay with the lives of your soldiers (and the money of your taxpayers) to defend this?? 131.107.0.105 23:00, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
