Talk:Philippines is culling 6500 hogs after Reston ebolavirus outbreak

I created
I CREATED this interesting news article on ERV which is killing our hog industry and exports. I am Philippines Judge Florentino Floro, having registered with Wikinews on December 3, 2008, and is a Editor as of January 12, 2009.
 * Something Different - In having written more than "70 articles" (here - User:Florentino Floro/MyList and in Wikipedia Encyclopedia User:Florentino Floro/MyList2), I live with my Philosophy and hope to elevate Wikinews to the phenomenal success of Wikipedia encyclopedia, by writing very comprehensive, detailed and fully synthesized news, amid collaboration of editors and the final touch of the reviewer. Please do not be annoyed if sometimes, (due to stress and human factor - plus the fact that as lawyer and judge, I never ever had enrolled in any journalism subject), I would tend to relax the copyright rules and style guide, but, without however, violating the SPIRIT AND INTENT of both international law of copyright, and Wikinews rules on style guide. REST ASSURED, that in writing every news article, I VALUE fairness, justice, integrity and honesty. This is what NEWS WRITING is all about. Please help in publishing this news. Cheers.

2nd Review
I added 2 sources to back up the facts and checked removed copy vios. Cheers.--Florentino Floro (talk) 06:02, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

2nd Review failed
Despite its status as a Level-4 organism, the Reston ebolavirus is non-pathogenic to humans and is only mildly fatal to monkeys; the perception of its lethality was skewed due to the monkey's coinfection with Simian hemorrhagic fever virus (SHFV). = verbatim cut and paste from en.wikipedia article Reston ebolavirus, seemingly without attribution in sources or any modification/paraphrasing to the wording. Further, why cut and paste from the en.wikipedia article for this info, instead of simply doing the actual research into the sources cited at the end of the sentences in that wiki article? Cirt (talk) 06:24, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

3rd review
I changed the part which failed with the official statement from our DOH: "Unlike the three subtypes, Zaire, Sudan and Ivory Coast, which can cause hemorrhagic symptoms, Reston does not. There has been no evidence that Reston can cause significant illness in humans. When Reston was previously found in monkeys, few animal handlers were infected but only one had very mild symptoms," the Philippine Department of Health (DOH) official website statement on the virus announced. Cheers.--Florentino Floro (talk) 08:10, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

To Reviewers
See the first and second reviews. If there were this many instances of blatant copyvio in the prior reviews, how many other instances of blatant copyvio are present in this article? Please be cautious when doing the review. Thanks, Cirt (talk) 09:19, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

The culling slowly began with only 442 pigs killed Sunday
I had updated this BIG and landmark reston virus which for the first time in world history affected 6 humans since this virus appeared from Philippine monkeys in 1989. Cheers.--Florentino Floro (talk) 05:54, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

Funny news
Oh my God, in all the news I created this is the FUNNIEST: after pains in writing this article, I was shocked that the stun gun malfunctioned: so they agreed to use cal 32 pistol. Cheers.--Florentino Floro (talk) 08:23, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

Much Funnier, policemen used .22 cal. and they have no guns
First they protested the inhumane shooting, now, due to bad captive pistols, they said .32 caliber handguns, but they don't have even one. So, 12 policemen were ordered to shoot with .22 cal guns. How can we not laugh at this news. It is becoming funny daily. So reality and money plus funds, spell the difference to these animal rights lovers.

Rocket carrying NASA carbon dioxide satellite crashes into ocean

February 24, 2009 The rocket carrying NASA's Orbiting Carbon Observatory has crashed, sending the remains of the atmosphere observation satellite into the ocean off the coast of Antarctica. Shortly before the crash, the 'payload fairing' failed to deploy from the craft.

"Several minutes into the flight of the Taurus rocket carrying NASA's Orbiting Carbon Observatory spacecraft, launch managers declared a contingency after the payload fairing failed to separate," said NASA in a statement on their website. "The spacecraft did not reach orbit and likely landed in the Pacific Ocean near Antarctica". The cause of the failure to deploy and the crash are still under investigation.

"A Mishap Investigation Board will be immediately convened to determine the cause of the launch failure," added the statement. Steve Cole, a spokesperson for NASA told Bloomberg L.P., "the mission is lost. At this point no one is exactly sure what the cause is". The rocket that would have carried the observatory into space, a Taurus XL, took off from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California in the United States, at approximately 4:55 a.m. EST. Approximately 10 minutes into the mission, the payload failed to separate and a contingency was activated, but was unsuccessful.

The Orbiting Carbon Observatory was the latest mission in NASA's ongoing study of the global carbon cycle. It would have been the first spacecraft dedicated to studying atmospheric carbon dioxide, the most significant human-produced greenhouse gas and the principal human-produced driver of climate change. The cost of the project was US$273 million.

U.S. team unveils plans for F1 entry in 2010

February 25, 2009 A United States-based operation, known now as USF1, has unveiled plans to join the Formula One motor racing series beginning in the 2010 season. Team principal Ken Anderson and sporting director Peter Windsor officially launched USF1 in a live press conference broadcast on the US television channel Speed. Ken Anderson has previously worked for the Ligier and Onyx Grand Prix Formula One teams, and most recently held the position of technical director for the Haas CNC Racing team in the American NASCAR series. Windsor has previously been general manager at Scuderia Ferrari and team manager for WilliamsF1 before taking up his current role as a journalist and reporter for the Speed channel.

USF1 would be based in Charlotte, North Carolina in the United States, unlike all eleven teams that participated in the 2008 Formula One season, which are based in Europe. Anderson also expressed a preference for the team's drivers to be of American nationality. They confirmed that they do not yet have an engine supply contact but expressed a desire to contact all existing Formula One engine builders before signing one.

The team expressed an intention to be more open to fans than current Formula One teams in order to appeal to the US market. The possibility for fans to tour the factory and see the car being built as well as television shows showing the inner workings of the team were suggested. Windsor claimed that the team had received the backing of both Max Mosley, the president of Formula One's governing body, and Bernie Ecclestone, president of Formula One's commercial rights holders. No details were given on the team's financial backers, however.

Fed chairman Bernanke says US recession 'may last into 2010'

February 25, 2009 Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke said that the current economic recession in the United States "may last into 2010." The Chairman also predicted that unemployment would remain at relatively high levels until 2011.

However, Bernanke added that 2010 could be a year of recovery if the government was able to restore some financial stability.

He made the statements to the Senate Banking Committee on Tuesday.

"It is essential that we continue to complement fiscal stimulus with strong government action to stabilise financial institutions and financial markets," Bernanke said. "If actions taken by the administration, the Congress, and the Federal Reserve are successful in restoring some measure of financial stability — and only if that is the case, in my view — there is a reasonable prospect that the current recession will end in 2009 and that 2010 will be a year of recovery."

Bernanke also warned that there is a risk that the downturn could become steeper. "This outlook for economic activity is subject to considerable uncertainty, and I believe that, overall, the downside risks probably outweigh those on the upside," he said.

The chairman also delivered the Federal Reserve's estimates on the economy, which were released last week. They predict that the US economy will shrink by 0.5% to 1.3% this year. The unemployment rate is estimated to increase to between 8.5% and 8.8%, from its current level of 7.6%.

Bernanke said that he was "committed to using all available tools to stimulate economic activity and to improve financial market functioning".

US stock markets closed higher after Bernanke's testimony, with the Standard and Poor's 500 index gaining four percent.

Al-Shabaab and AU peacekeepers clash in Somalia

February 26, 2009 In ongoing clashes that started Tuesday in Somalia, Islamist rebels Al-Shabaab battled troops from the African Union's peacekeeping force, African Union Mission to Somalia (AMISOM).

According to rights groups and other sources, 81 people have been killed. Among them are 48 civilians, said the Elman Peace and Human Rights Organisation. Another 90 civilians have been injured, the group added.

On Sunday, Al-Shabaab attacked Burundi troops with suicide bombers at an AMISOM base in Mogadishu. 11 troops were killed and 15 wounded.

, the capital of, is reported to have fallen under Al-Shabaab control. "Al-Shabaab fighters are now patrolling the town and the other group fled," local elder Hussein Abdi Isak told Reuters in a phone interview.

The United Nations Security Council issued a statement to "condemn in the strongest terms the attacks on the African Union mission in Somalia." The statement was passed unanimously and urges all Somalis "to reject violence and extremism."

"This is a kind of setback, no doubt about it, but this is not the time to despair," the President of the United Nations Security Council, Japan's Ambassador Yukio Takasu, told reporters. "On the contrary, I think all of us have much stronger determination to continue to provide and accelerate the logistical support to AMISOM."

The African Union says its peacekeeping force in Somalia — which is supposed to number 8,000, but currently has about 3,500 soldiers from Uganda and Burundi — is in dire need of reinforcement.

However, Nigeria, which was supposed to send 850 officers and soldiers within weeks, says it now has second thoughts.

"At the time the commitment was made to go to Somalia, what was on ground was peacekeeping," Foreign Minister said. "But the situation in Somalia has deteriorated considerably. We are not in a hurry to start getting the body bags to this country."

"If we are going to risk the lives of our young men and women, if we are going to put our young men and women in harm's way, it has to be a carefully analyzed mission response. It should not be without adequate planning and it should not be without adequate logistical, material support," he added.

Japan's January exports fall by 46% from last year

February 25, 2009

According to official figures, Japan's exports dropped by 46% in January compared to a year ago, the lowest statistics ever to be recorded.

Japan's exports to the United States plunged by almost 53% in January, with car shipments down by 81%. Exports to the European Union fell by 47%.

The Finance Ministry stated that the trade deficit was 952.6 billion yen (US$9.9 billion), the largest deficit ever recorded. The country's trade deficit with China increased by 61% to 562.7 billion yen (US$5.86 billion).

"Japan is particularly vulnerable to this downturn because trade is so central to the economy," said Pascal Lamy, head of the World Trade Organization in a statement during a press conference today.

The demand for Japanese automobiles was hit particularly hard, plunging by 69%. Demand for electronic goods also dropped substantially.

Last week, the government announced that the country's economy had shrunk at an annualised rate of 12.7% in the last quarter of last year, the fastest contraction in nearly 35 years.

Airplane crashes at Schiphol Airport; 9 killed

February 25, 2009

A Boeing 737-800 registered to Turkish Airlines with 135 people on board crashed at Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, on Tuesday. At least nine people, including the three pilots, were killed and over 80 had been injured. The plane was traveling from Istanbul, Turkey.

The airplane crashed short of the runway, close to the A9 highway, and broke into three pieces. According to witness reports, about twenty people were seen walking away from the crash.

"The plane was nose up and the tail section was at a 45-degree angle. The tail section broke down first, which broke off," said a witness in an interview with the BBC who was riding on his bicycle by the airport when the aircraft crashed. "And seconds after the crash people started exiting through the tail section [...] I saw dozens of people making it out very quickly, and as I was about to dial 112 the first sirens were noticeable, and within five minutes there were 10 or 15 ambulances." During the press conference, it was stated that a total of 60 ambulances went to the crash site and 150 medical people were present. Special vehicles were also used to enter the field, which wasn't easily accessible.

A passenger on-board the plane gave this account: "We suddenly descended a great distance as if the plane fell into turbulence. The plane's tail hit the ground [...] It slid from the side of the motorway into the field," he said.

Officials have not yet determined what caused the accident. "We cannot say anything about the cause at the moment. The priority of the authorities is providing help and care," stated the vice-mayor of the Haarlemmermeer municipality, Michel Bezuijen.

72 Turkish and 32 Dutch people were on board the aircraft, according to the Turkish ambassador to the Netherlands.

Wedding next year for Sweden's crown princess

February 27, 2009

On February 24th the Swedish Royal Court announced that the Crown Princess Victoria is to be married in 2010 to her boyfriend and former fitness trainer Daniel Westling. KP Victoria, 31, and Daniel, 35, have been in a relationship for seven years. As the wedding is to be held in the summer of 2010, it gives the court 18 months to prepare, contemplate the wedding dress of the Crown Princess, and complete the guest-list – which will include prominent guests from Europe and the world.

According to the Swedish constitution, KP Victoria must ask for the King's approval for the marriage, who then has to call a cabinet council so that the government can give its approval. This was done on Tuesday morning, just before the court announced the engagement.

After the wedding, Daniel will be given the title of Prince Daniel, Duke of Västergötland. Their children will be next in line to the throne after Crown Princess Victoria.

Hilda Solis begins new job as US Secretary of Labor

February 26, 2009 🇺🇸On Wednesday, February 25, Hilda Solis made her entrance as the new United States Secretary of Labor saying she was "fired up and ready to go." Solis reported for her first day as the new Secretary after having been confirmed by the Senate by a vote of 80–17 on February 24. Wikinews was there for her appearance.

After being confirmed, she resigned from her position as a Representative for California and was sworn into her new position that same evening. She then joined the cabinet at President Obama's speech to Joint session of Congress which took place on February 24.

Solis' arrival was announced on Wednesday to all Department of Labor employees who were invited to attend an informal gathering to greet her on her first day. More than 1,000 employees greeted Solis as she walked into the Department of Labor's Frances Perkins Building. Solis stopped to shake hands and accept the congratulations of her new staff.

Solis briefly spoke to the assembly and then set about to start her day. She addressed the crowd, assembled both inside and outside the building, by saying "We need to revitalize this agency." She also told the crowd, "It's time to put labor back in the Department of Labor."

The department has an annual budget of approximately $53 billion and nearly 17,000 employees. Solis received a warm welcome from her new staff.

None of the interviewed aboard mentions engine problems while landing. Seems to me engines then worked as usual. the wiki article however doubts that. Interested what will come out. Bird strike or a typical 737(they crash more then any other) accident.24.132.170.97 18:59, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

The crash may be vertical windshear too, don't speculate before knowing factors please. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.234.0.153 (talk) 10:51, 27 February 2009 (UTC)

Thats a strange comment. Since i actually point to facts to make a point. And what i am doing is actually against speculations going on (engine problems, engine fall-offs even) , it is not farfetched to have the opinion something was the result of a technical problem, that is a most common interpretation of events like this early on allways.(not unique to me either) Seems to me you have an interest in the industry there then. Also. where there were no birds involved, apparently now it is shown it was indeed a technicallity of this 737 that was the main cause.24.132.170.97 18:50, 4 March 2009 (UTC) ..

Comments:Fed chairman Bernanke says US recession 'may last into 2010'

"strong government action" is not going to fix this economy. It never has, and it never will.

CuriousSandwich (talk) 19:38, 25 February 2009 (UTC)CuriousSandwich

Strong government inaction should do the trick, then? --Thrawn (talk) 20:46, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

Let me rephrase: Government spending and "stimulus" packages are not going to help the economy recover; tax cuts for corporations and individuals and reduction in the government budget will.

CuriousSandwich (talk) 22:28, 25 February 2009 (UTC)CuriousSandwich

The Sandwich speaks the truth.--66.229.21.217 03:21, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

 * Except, what with that NOT WORKING ONE SINGLE DAMN BIT to stop it from happening in the first place? I think you're forgetting history, namely last year and all the time since it was known this was coming and Bush gave great tax cuts that DIDN'T do anything to stop it from happening. Regulation is required to make capitalism serve the actual interests of people, instead of making people serve the machine of capitalism. 66.20.190.65 04:34, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

 * Silly me I thought the Dems deregulating of the banks that hand out the bad loans got us in this crisis.--66.229.21.217 09:08, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

 * That's an excuse, the systemic problems go back long before that and have their root in lack of sense in the management of the financial institutions. Their overriding greed and shortsightedness caused it. 66.20.190.65 21:18, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

 * The current economic crisis is a result of too much government involvement. Banks were being pushed by the government to hand out bad loans.
 * CuriousSandwich (talk) 22:59, 26 February 2009 (UTC)Curious Sandwich
 * Actually, that's not what happened. As an example, banks in Canada have been pushing for years for the same type of deregulation that happened in the US. They've been arguing that such deregulation would allow them to make more money in the short term. And yup, that's true. Unfortunately in the long term it bankrupts them, as seen in the US. Unlike the US government, which caved in to the pressure (*cough*bribes*cough*) from the banking sector to deregulate, then lied and said that it was "for the good of the people" (hah!), the Canadian government refused to deregulate their banking sector. Now Canada has a heavily regulated banking system that is rated as the strongest in the world, according to international studies (and, frankly, everyone else, banks included), while the US has a barely regulated banking system that is nearly completely non-functional. Huh. Looks like regulation works after all, doesn't it? Canada wins again! ;) Gopher65talk 01:08, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

Comments:Rocket carrying NASA carbon dioxide satellite crashes into ocean

It's a conspiracy! --77.253.126.65 19:43, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

It might be...
This first one, an ESA satellite that was also supposed to study the source and impact of CO2 in the atmosphere, also suffered the same problem... The rocket did not deploy it. Now this one. I'm not a conspiracy nut, but two satellites, with the same goal, suffering from the same problem... It is weird, too weird to call it a coincidence.

Cost will be more than $$
What cost can we assign to our continued ignorance about the carbon cycle? Policy decisions being made today and for years to come on the basis of our limited understanding will expend many more dollars than the price tag of this failed mission.

This was too important not to have a "plan B". Surely someone must have considered that the OCO might fail.

Welcome
Can't believe you didn't get one of these. The link to WN:ARTICLE would probably be the most useful. Your story on the Carter-Fuck gagging order is too 'encyclopedic' and that'd probably point out why. --Brian McNeil / talk 11:47, 13 October 2009 (UTC)
 * well, thanks, but I don't entirely understand what makes it 'too encyclopedic'; WN:ARTICLE doesn't specifically address that (apart from telling you to do it quickly!). (NB if there isn't a page specifically for Wikipedia editors to migrate to Wikinews, there really should be!). Is it the ref tags? Rd232 (talk) 12:58, 13 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Actually, there is a page for Wikipedians coming here, see For Wikipedians. And yes, some of the problem with your article is the ref tags; we don't use those here, instead all your sources should be listed in "Sources" section with source template. Tempodivalse [talk]  13:01, 13 October 2009 (UTC)
 * The real jump-out-at-you encyclopedic point was specifying a full date for something that happened today, yesterday, or any time in the past week. The norm is to refer to a point in time in relation to the article's publication date. --Brian McNeil / talk 13:42, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

No one argue for merger much less indicate how such a merge would look like (it seem more like a Wikipedia suggested merge then a Wikinews style merge), so while some one could have reviewed them they stewed as articles in development/disputed, thus becoming stale.  Article was update 2/27/2009, yet no review forthcomming.  Appearently, there are not enough people reviewing or too busy marking articles stale or "possible merge".  With out going through the process of review several times might contributors feel confortable in reviewing other articles?   Does not seem to be any reason for me to contribute as it looks like 4 out of 5 articles I started will or have or should have been deleted. Not a great incentive for me to continue to contribute.

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

Comments:Advocacy groups complain about 4parents.gov sex-ed website

Sex Ed and HIV/AIDS and Substance use/abuse
As a CASAC - T and an HIV/AIDS community educator and advocate. I am not surprise that the religious community still has it head in the sand. Some parent are afraid to talk about sex with their children. The church needs to keep their focus on saving souls and not chastising people for how they identify themselves. Substance abuse is not limited to illegal drugs. There are a lot of people who abuse over the counter and perscribed drugs. Under the enflunce of a substance that alters one sence of reason, opens the door way to risky behavior. What I say is for all fractions of society. All comunittes are to be respected.

The so called STRAIGHT people have such an inferiority complex about themselves they have to pick on some other group to feel adequate. There is such a high level of low self esteem in the general public, it is no wonder the the youth of today are quick to listen to their friends. Do not get it wrong, I am not anti church, but I am anti faith base programs only. The HHC has the hard proof of how effective different approach. Any information that is published on a topic such as this must be all inclusive the members of society.

There will be a lot of people who will disagree with what I have written, and that is o.k. Disagreement is healthy, but managed well, good can come out of healthy talk. Be open minded to other point of views. I say to my groups agree to disagree and respect each other opinion.

Mountain Top Observer

Traditional Values are now the progressive position
It's not surprising that SIECUS and Planned Parenthood want to shut this website down as it contradicts their sex is better all the time philosophy. They benefit financially from treating sexually transmitted diseases and unplanned pregnancies. They exploit students by teaching them only the perfect usage rates of contraception, when not even adults achieve perfect usage rates.

There is a plethora of studies showing that sex, especially in the teen years, is unhealthy physically, mentally and spiritually, especially most recently advances in neuroscience.

It doesn't take a scientist to figure out that teaching kids to give into temptation is a stupid idea. Giving into eating too much, bad language, alchohol, illegal drugs, etc. raises one type of individual, teaching students the tips they can use to avoid tempatation raises one with character. it's just a matter of time before junk sex operations (that use themselves to prove their outrageous "sex is healthy" claims) such as SIECUS and Planned Parenthood are defunded.

An example of SIECUS/Planned Parenthood type advocacy: Take a look at International PP’s Healthy, Happy and Hot brochure targeting HIV+ youth. http://www.ippf.org/NR/rdonlyres/B4462DDE-487D-4194-B0E0-193A04095819/0/HappyHealthyHot.pdf On page 6 it states, “Some countries have laws that say people living with HIV must tell their sexual partner(s) about their status before having sex, even if they use condoms or only engage in sexual activity with a low risk of giving HIV to someone else. These laws violate the rights of people living with HIV by forcing them to disclose or face the possibility of criminal charges.” On page 7 one can find Tips for Telling Sexual Partners Your HIV Status, “When dating, some people tell their partner when they first meet while others wait till later. Do whatever makes you the most comfortable. If you are in a long-term relationship, try to find a time when your partner is calm and has time for a long conversation.”

Engine failure may have been factor in Amsterdam plane crash

February 26, 2009

According to the chief of the agency investigating the Turkish Airlines aeroplane crash at Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport in the Netherlands yesterday, engine trouble may have been a factor in the accident.

Addressing Dutch state television, chairman of the Dutch Safety Board Pieter van Vollenhoven said that the way the aircraft dropped from the air suggests that the engines may have failed. "If you then lose speed, you then literally fall out of the sky," he said. However, he noted that the reason for the apparent engine failure had not yet been established.

Van Vollenhoven said that the analysis of the aeroplane's flight data recorders could be finished as early as Tuesday, but added that the Dutch Safety Board would most likely not disclose any preliminary findings until next week. Fred Sanders, a spokesman for the board, said that the damage to the aircraft corroborated witness accounts that the plane impacted with the ground tail-down.

"This may indicate that the plane had lost its forward momentum, that there was no motor function," he said, adding that it may be be a long time before a full explanation of the accident is available. "We will have an official finding probably in about a year, but we should be able to give an interim finding within weeks," he said.

Nine people were killed and 86 injured on Wednesday when a Boeing 737-800 with 135 people on board registered to Turkish Airlines crashed just short of the runway in a farmer's field near Schiphol Airport.

Obama budget calls for record US deficit

February 27, 2009

United States President Barack Obama unveiled his administration's 2010 United States federal budget on Thursday. The budget calls for a record US$3.6 trillion in spending. The new budget will use a $1.75 trillion deficit, which would be nearly four times greater than any previous deficit and is $250 billion larger than what was projected just days ago due to a proposed new spending for another bank bailout.

"We will, each and every one of us, have to compromise on certain things we care about but which we simply cannot afford right now," said President Obama. "What I won't do is sacrifice investments that will make America stronger, more competitive and more prosperous in the 21st century — investments that have been neglected for too long."

House of Representatives minority leader John Boehner was critical of the budget. "We can't tax and spend our way to prosperity," he said. "The era of big government is back, and Democrats are asking you to pay for it."

"Given the economic catastrophe that we face, to go right into the teeth of that hurricane and plan for some ambitious expansion of government that goes beyond the triage element is bold to say the least," Norman J. Ornstein, a political scholar at the American Enterprise Institute, told Reuters.

$634 billion of the budget is "dedicated [to] financing reforms to our health care system," according to Obama. Analysts reporting for the BBC and Reuters both conclude that, if passed, it lays a ground-work for a form of universal health care.

Former Serbian president Milutinovic acquitted of war crimes

February 27, 2009

Milan Milutinović, the former president of Serbia, has been cleared of charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity by a United Nations war crimes tribunal in Kosovo.

Five other top Serbian officials, however, were found guilty of their charges and given sentences ranging from 15 to 22 years in prison.

Milutinović, aged 66, was the president of Serbia from December 1997 to December 2002, but was widely seen as a figurehead president during the Kosovo conflict in the 1990s. The court concluded that he did not have any direct control over the army, and was released from custody.

"The trial chamber finds you not guilty of counts one to five of the indictment," said Iain Bonomy, the judge at the trial. "In practice, it was Milošević, sometimes termed the 'Supreme Commander', who exercised actual command authority over the [Serb army] during the NATO campaign."

Milutinović and the five other men went on trial in July of 2006 on charges of murdering hundreds and forcibly deporting 800,000 civilians by Serbian forces in 1999 in Kosovo.

Of the five sentenced to prison, former Deputy Prime Minister Nikola Šainović, Yugoslav Army General Nebojša Pavković, and Serbian Police General Sreten Lukić were given sentences of 22 years. Yugoslav Army General Vladimir Lazarević and Chief of the General Staff Dragoljub Ojdanić were each sentenced to 15 years behind bars.

All six men had pleaded not guilty to their charges.

Australian Sex Party to run independents in Queensland election

February 27, 2009

The Australian Sex Party will run candidates in three electorates in the upcoming Queensland state election. However, since the party does not have a sufficient membership base, the candidates will run as independents.

"Queensland's censorship laws are far stricter than any other state in Australia and the same as laws on erotica in totalitarian states like China and Iran," says party convenor Fiona Patten.

The party will run of a number of platforms including same sex marriage and age of consent. In Queensland the age of consent for homosexuals is 18 while it is 16 for heterosexuals. Every other state in Australia has an age of consent of 16 regardless of sexual orientation.

The party has been met with opposition from the Australian Christian Lobby (ACL). The ACL has challenged the major parties to place Sex Party candidates last on their how-to-vote cards. "The Australian Sex Party exists to represent the interests of businesses who make money from the exploitation and degradation of women," Jim Wallace, ACL managing director, said.

"If Labor, the LNP and the Greens believe women should be respected and are concerned about the enormous damage caused by pornography and prostitution then they should be demonstrating this by having nothing to do with the Sex Party or its affiliated candidates," said Wallace. The Queensland Greens sole Member of Parliament Ronan Lee has indicated that the Greens will wait until nominations close until they decide on preferences.

Comments:Obama budget calls for record US deficit

That would be nice if I could get some healthcare. It is pretty disgusting that so many children don't have healthcare.--65.73.102.158 09:58, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
 * So call for the state to do it. Fephisto (talk) 10:58, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
 * The whole point is that it looks like the state is doing it. That is one good point of the budget, and I will actually give Obama a chance to spend his way out. It just might work, but good luck paying it off... I mean, will you guys see a massive tax rise now? Blood Red Sandman  (Talk)   (Contribs) 11:56, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
 * The setup of the US healthcare system is beyond a joke, and verging on a crime against the population by the government and corporations involved in the provision of healthcare. I remain unconvinced that Americans get 'the best healthcare money can buy'; survey after survey proves that countries with universal healthcare spend less per-capita, their workforces take less sick leave, and life expectancy is higher - both as a general item, and in terms of surviving common serious medical conditions. Healthcare insurance is a tax by stealth. I do not buy the arguments that the system is better administered than were the government responsible. Quite simply, the businesses you pay insurance to have a mission to make a profit, there is a percentage on top of what the healthcare provision costs that goes in their shareholders' pockets. I do not dispute that - in all probability - a government administered system would have a higher baseline cost, but my gut feeling is that such a system, even with the likely inefficiencies, would be less that the private business' cost plus profit. The clout that comes with a government system would greatly reduce the ability of pharma companies to charge sky-high rates for drugs; the running of hospitals on a non-profit basis would remove another 'profit' chunk that is not going to keeping people in good health.
 * To sum up, universal, free-at-point-of-delivery, healthcare seems like a no-brainer. I grew up with that, I believe it is a basic human right, and that Americans have been duped into thinking it is socialism - duped by people who are so callous as to wish to profit from the misery and essential needs of others. --Brian McNeil / talk 12:41, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
 * You're forcing people to pay for a system regardless of whether they need it, want it, or not. It is a 'feel-good' measure of redistribution of wealth at the guns of the government.  It is centrally controlled, centrally planned, and centrally/universally dictated by fiat.  For these reasons, it is socialist and from my point of view, tyrannical.  It forces a dependence on the state like no other.
 * I do accept that the current hashed up scheme is inept, but I blame that (and I think rightly so) on those excessive burdens of the State. By subsidizing certain payments for one group, and less for another, and tight regulation in one area, and different in another, I think it is entirely rational to expect that the resultant system is one where-in the costs will be artificially inflated.  However, to expect that the solution is advocating a complete central-mandate I believe is foolhardy at best.
 * Furthermore, if my healthcare/food/education/etc. is a right that needs to be doled out by the State, than I hardly call myself free. Fephisto (talk) 14:27, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

Obama
fuck that shit

ah man. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.166.175.146 (talk) 22:56, 27 February 2009 (UTC)

The deficit in the proposed Obama 2010 US budget is justified for several reasons: 1. The budget has ambitious goals to change our energy policy, improve infrastructure, make our education the best in the world, reorganize our medical system and make it      universal, make our auto industry competitive with foreign manufactures, bring back our leading role in the industries of the 21 century. 2. All these goals require increase in our investment in above mentioned fields and will benefit our country in the long run. 3. Improved education will raise the total level of culture and productivity in the country and will assure the country of its leading position in the world.

where are your four other reasons?--weirdjrc (talk) 16:24, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
 * He said 'several', not 'seven'. --Brian McNeil / talk 18:35, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

 * yes so three minus seven is four. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Weirdjrc (talk --weirdjrc (talk) 15:16, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

Error re deficit projections
The article asserts that "[t]he new budget will use [sic] a $1.75 trillion deficit." This is incomplete and will likely lead readers to draw the wrong conclusion about President Obama's budget proposal.

The budget submitted February 26 is President Obama's proposal for fiscal year 2010, which begins in October 2009. The $1.75 trillion deficit is the projected deficit for fiscal year 2009, which began in October 2008, before the election. This number includes $1.5 trillion of spending signed into law by President Bush as well as Obama, including parts of February's economic stimulus bill and the recently passed omnibus spending bill. The remaining $250 billion represents a placeholder inserted by the administration in case further economic stimulus spending is necessary later in 2009.

In fiscal year 2010, the first year of the budget proposal, the deficit is forecast to decline to $1.17 trillion. This is followed by annual declines from 2011 through 2013, when the deficit reaches $533 billion.

Obama and dems have never passed a budget.

ACLU commemorates anniversary of US Supreme Court decision on student free speech

February 28, 2009 On Tuesday, the non-profit organization the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) released a video and press release commemorating 40 years since the landmark Supreme Court of the United States decision involving freedom of speech in the case Tinker v. Des Moines Independent Community School District. The Tinker case was decided on February 24, 1969. The case involved students in Iowa who chose to wear black armbands with peace symbols in protest of the Vietnam War – in violation of a recent school board policy. In their statement, the ACLU compared issues of freedom of speech in the Tinker case to a more recent case, Gillman v. Holmes County School District, where a school district in Florida forbade students from wearing rainbow symbols in school in support of LGBT rights. In the Tinker case, John and Mary Beth Tinker and another student decided to wear black armbands with peace symbols to school in protest of the Vietnam War. The school district heard of the students' plans and decided to ban armbands in school. The three students case were represented by the ACLU of Iowa, and in a 7-2 decision the Supreme Court ruled for the plaintiffs.

Supreme Court Justice Abe Fortas wrote in the Opinion of the Court: "It can hardly be argued that either students or teachers shed their constitutional rights...at the schoolhouse gate."

The Gillman case began in September 2007 when according to students at Ponce de Leon High School in Florida, school officials responded improperly to complaints from a lesbian student that she was being harassed by other students. The ACLU contacted the school district on behalf of junior Heather Gillman, inquiring what form of symbols or slogans relating to LGBT rights would be allowed.

The school district responded saying it would not allow any expression of the sort, because it would "likely be disruptive", and said the wearing of these types of symbols by students could signify they were part of a "secret/illegal organization".

The video released by the ACLU includes clips of a deposition given by David Davis, the principal of Ponce de Leon High School in Florida. Davis testified he decided to ban students from wearing rainbow symbols in school because the rainbow is a symbol of "gay pride", and he said it "could hinder the educational process". He also testified that these symbols would immediately cause students viewing them to think of homosexual sex. Heather Gillman commented in the ACLU video "It was kind of scary, kinda, because I didn't know what people would think, but then I figured 'Who cares what people think, I'm standing up for something I believe in.'"

On May 13, 2008, a federal judge decided in favor of the plaintiff, and permanently enjoined the school district from infringing upon the First Amendment rights of the students. Matt Coles, director of the ACLU's national LGBT Project, stated "Schools need to know censorship is illegal, and students need to know their schools can't get away with it."

In reflecting on the use of the Tinker precedent in the Gillman case, the ACLU cited three instances in which schools "were made to stop illegally censoring students thanks to Tinker v. Des Moines." These include a 2006 incident where a student in Ohio was instructed by school administrators to remove a t-shirt which read "I support gay marriage", and a 2007 incident where a teacher and an assistant principal at a school in Virginia told a student she could not wear a t-shirt with overlapping female gender symbols. In both cases the ACLU represented the students and school officials backed down and apologized for their actions.

In a blog post Tuesday by Mary Beth Tinker at Daily Kos, Tinker reflected on the similarities between her case before the Supreme Court of the United States and the more recent federal case of Heather Gillman. "I’m grateful that the precedent established by the Supreme Court 40 years ago is still protecting students, including LGBT students and their friends," wrote Tinker. She encouraged young people to speak out about issues of concern to them and to freely express their thoughts and views. Tinker is currently a nurse in Washington, D.C., and travels the United States speaking to students about their First Amendment rights.

Afghan protestors shot after mosque raid sparks anger

March 1, 2009

As many as six protesters were wounded in the Afghan province of Ghazni while protesting an alleged raid by NATO troops on a mosque. Protesters claimed that NATO troops entered a mosque, opened fire on those inside, and tore up copies of the Qur'an.

Video from Al Jazeera cameramen show Afghan security forces firing their weapons at the crowd of protesters. United States officials have said that they believe all injuries resulted from "saboteurs" acting from inside the crowd. However, Afghan officials admit that they fired on the protesters.

Protesters marched along the main highway, throwing stones at the police who tried to stop them. When the police could no longer hold the protesters back they opened fire, injuring as many as six.

This marks another protest against U.S and NATO forces operating in Afghanistan after recent raids resulting in civilian deaths have sparked unrest.

A recent poll of Afghans shows declining support for NATO and U.S forces. Just 47% of Afghans have a favorable opinion of the U.S down from 83% in 2005. Only 18% of Afghans surveyed thought that U.S and NATO forces should increase. 25% of Afghans say they think attacks on foreign troops can be justified, up from 13% in 2006.
