 * If you view the story now, I hope you can see the difference. You have to keep in mind that Wikinews addresses a global audience. Minor league and linedrive, don't mean anything to many people. You have to explain that it is baseball. Also, Tulsa and North Little Rock, are cities that are not known to people around the world. The states and even the country have to be mentioned. Sorry to take so long to reply. Cheers, and happy editing. --SVTCobra 22:37, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

Ancestors of humans learned to walk in trees, study says

June 3, 2007

Scientists from the United Kingdom who spent one year watching orangutans have revealed in a study that humans may have learned to walk while still living in the trees, and that humans may not be that closely related to chimpanzees.

"An increasing number of people have been questioning this old 'up from the apes' idea" of how bipedalism evolved. As the forests became sparse, the strategy of our human ancestors was more or less to abandon the canopies and come down to the ground, where they could use this bipedalism immediately to get around," said one University of Liverpool scientist who headed the study, Robin Crompton.

Museums and schools across the world have been teaching that humans evolved from an animal much like that of a chimpanzee and that humans started to walk along the forest floors, with their arms hanging, and knuckles scraping across the ground. It is also taught that those animals then began to walk upright once they adapted to living on the ground.

Orangutans were observed by researcher Susannah Thorpe of the University of Birmingham in Sumatra, Indonesia for one year. She documented that the orangutans would generally walk on their hands and feet, but when food was at a height that they could not reach, the orangutans would stand on their feet, extend upright, and grab the fruit or food item they want. This movement also allowed them to swing from the branches of trees more efficiently, without having to touch the forest floor. "When they move to the skinniest branches, where the tastiest fruit grows, they stand stiffly straight-legged, like a person. It's energetically quite economical for orangutans to feed and move on these bendy branches using bipedalism," said Thorpe who also has over 3,000 different movements on film that show orangutans standing on their own 2 feet, upright, and reaching for objects.

"Our conclusion is that arboreal bipedalism had very strong adaptive benefits. So, we don't need to explain how our ancestors could have gone from being quadrupedal to being bipedal," added Thorpe.

The researchers also compared evidence from the remains of Lucy, past climate conditions on the planet and fossils to the workings of orangutans, and all suggest that humans were living and swinging in the trees for a much longer period of time than previously thought. The study shows that humans may have learned to walk at least 24 million years ago, rather than 6 million years ago.

Some experts disagree with the study.

"The main evidence is that our closest living relatives are not orangutans, they're chimps and gorillas, and since both climb trees and walk on their knuckles, it's most likely our ancestors did that too. One of the only anatomical features we share explicitly with chimps and gorillas is that we only have eight wrists bones, while almost all other primates have nine. In humans, chimps and gorillas, two bones have fused into one to stabilise the wrist, making it stronger for knuckle-walking. It's not a smoking gun, but it's the best evidence we have," said anthropologist at George Washington University, Brian Richmond.

Space Shuttle Atlantis set for June 8 launch despite worker strike

June 3, 2007

After having its launch delayed three months due to damage caused by hail stones during a storm, Space Shuttle Atlantis has been given the green light by NASA to launch on June 8.

"NASA's senior managers have signed the Certification of Flight Readiness confirming that Space Shuttle Atlantis, her flight crew and payloads are fit to fly," said a statement posted on NASA's website.

Atlantis's main engines, orbital maneuvering system and forward reaction control system was pressurized this past weekend and the crew's equipment has been put into stowage.

NASA plans to launch Atlantis despite a vote reached by the International Association of Machinist and Aerospace Workers, IAMAW, a union that is representing 570 workers that work with the shuttle program, but according to a union spokeswoman, the strike is not going to affect the launching of Atlantis.

"The bottom line is, a strike would not affect the next launch or the next one after that," said IAMAW spokeswoman, Tracy Yates. The union voted down a contract because the workers believed that NASA's wage offer is "substandard."

Atlantis will deliver equipment to the International Space Station and to make repairs to it. Commanding Atlantis for its mission will be Rick Sturckow and Lee Archambault will serve as Atlantis' pilot. Mission Specialists James Reilly, Steven Swanson, John Olivas and Flight Engineer Clayton Anderson round out the crew to deliver the S3/S4 starboard truss segments, batteries and another pair of solar arrays to the space station.

Talk:Australian universities target second language "crisis"

Cleanup
It looks like much of this article, as written, is pretty much a copy and paste from a couple of the sources. For example, the first paragraph: "Australian students from primary school to year ten would be required to learn a second language as part of a national push by university chiefs to stem the language "crisis" in schools." From the Age: "Students from primary school to year 10 would be required to study a second language as part of a national push by university chiefs to stem the language "crisis" in schools." There are many other similar examples. Jcart1534 13:02, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

World's defense chiefs meet in Singapore

June 3, 2007 The sixth Asia Security Conference, better known as the Shangri-La Dialogue, came to an end on Sunday in Singapore, highlighted by a visit by U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates and a senior Chinese defense official, Lt. Gen. Zhang Qisheng.

Named for its venue, the five-star Shangri-La Hotel Singapore, the annual meeting of top defense officials is organized by the International Institute for Strategic Studies, a London-based think tank.

The big issue at the Shangri-La gathering focused on China and its military buildup. China has announced it will boost military spending by 17.8 percent in 2007 to 350.921 billion yuan (about US$44.94 billion), the biggest increase in more than ten years. But U.S. defense officials have said they believe actual spending is up to three times higher, and they have called on China to be more transparent.

"There's no question that the Chinese are building significant capacity," Gates said in Honolulu before he flew to Singapore. "Our concern is over their intent."

China's delegation was led by Zhang, the People's Liberation Army deputy chief of the general staff. In his address on Saturday, Zhang defended China's reported defense-spending figures.

"In China, defense budgeting must follow a set of highly strict legal procedures, and the published Chinese defense budget is true and authentic," he said, attributing the increase to inflation and logistical and welfare support of its troops. "Given the multiple security threats, geo-political environment,the size of the territory, and the per-capita expense, the Chinese defense expenditure is small by all judgments," Zhang added.

Zhang said there are plans in the works to open an emergency hotline with the U.S., and that a deal to do so would be finalized in September.

At the end of the conference, Gates termed U.S.-China relations thusly: "In terms of our bilateral relationship, I wouldn't describe it as a breakthrough but as a next step in a process of military-to-military conversations which we will continue in the future."

For other countries in Asia, it's China's powerful economy that causes more concern, said Singaporean Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong in an opening speech on Friday.

"Most Asian countries assess the challenge from China to be more economic than military," Lee said. He added that China's military build up is mainly a response to Taiwan, and he warned that if Taiwan seeks to further establish its independence, it could lead to "unintended and dangerous escalation of tensions between China and the U.S."

India, too, is flexing its military muscle, with Indian Defense Minister A. K. Antony giving a talk on Saturday, "China and India: Building International Stability."

"India is ready to play its role in the shaping of this new approach to collective security," Antony said. "Only a pluralistic security order working through a network of cooperative structures can have the legitimacy as well as the wherewithal to deal with the security challenges of the 21st century."

Other delegations included Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Japan, South Korea and the United Kingdom.

Concern about Iran's nuclear program came up in comments by Gates on Saturday, saying stronger penalties are needed against Iran "not next year or the year after, but right now." Gates did not rule out military action to stop Iran's nuclear research, even if it wasn't the most attractive option. "Probably everybody in this room wants there to be a diplomatic solution to this problem," he said. "Having to take care of this problem militarily is in no one's interest."

On a tour of the Asia-Pacific region, Gates also worked to assure his counterparts in other countries that the United States' involvement in Iraq would not undermine its role in Asia. "While we are fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan and the global war on terror, we have no intention of neglecting Asia," Gates said on Friday in Honolulu.

In particular, Gates said the U.S. is keen to develop better relations with Central Asian states, and he called on other countries in the region to reach out and help Afghanistan and its neighbors, such as Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan.

"Integrating these newly independent states into the fold of the greater Asian family is in the interest of every country represented in this room. Of course, the degree that Central Asian states and Afghanistan choose to integrate into greater Asia is a decision for each of those sovereign countries. We will not assume to make decisions for them, but it is important that the welcome mat be out for them. The failure to do so could ultimately have devastating results," Gates said an address on Saturday at the Singapore meeting.

His remarks come as the U.S. is facing pressure in Kyrgyzstan over its Manas Air Base, which supports U.S. military operations in Afghanistan. The base has taken on strategic importance to the U.S. after it left Uzbekistan in 2005 after the U.S. criticized that country's human rights record. Gates visited the air base on Sunday.

Closer to home for the Singaporeans, there was talk about piracy in the Malacca Strait, and the need to develop better communication and cooperation between the security forces of the concerned countries: Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore.

With as much as 40 percent of the world's trade passing through the Malacca Strait, the U.S. is concerned, said U.S. Navy Admiral Timothy Keating, commander of the U.S. Pacific Command. "We have discussed enhancing maritime security throughout the region. It is a matter of significance and importance to us," Keating told the conference. "We are not satisfied with the current state but we are pleased with the progress we've made," he said, noting that their security cooperation has improved and there have been no recent major incidences of piracy in the Strait.

The issue of Myanmar and its military government came up during Prime Minister Lee's talk on Friday, with Lee saying the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, or ASEAN, "ought not to be hostage with the problems with Myanmar."

ASEAN has come under pressure for its admission of Myanmar, which is ruled by a junta that has refused to cede to a democratically elected government. But ASEAN has a policy of non-engagement in internal conflicts of its members. "We will leave Myanmar to work itself out," Lee said.

Car slams into Washington, DC festival

June 3, 2007 A car plowed into a crowded street festival in Washington, DC Saturday night, injuring up to 40 people, including at least two police officers. The scene occurred in the Anacostia region of the city, during Unifest, an annual street festival sponsored by a local church.

The car, driven by 30-year-old Tonya Bell, of Oxon Hill, Maryland, had a 7-year-old child in the front seat, and was believed to have been traveling at speeds of up to 70 MPH when the incident occurred.

Bell has been charged with aggravated assault while armed for the incident; the child in the vehicle was unharmed. Mayor Adrian M. Fenty said the city would "do everything we can to make sure [the victims] get the best care." Witnesses say the car never stopped, and describe the scene as crazy and chaotic.

Event goers, police, and others in the area attempted to stop the car, but say Bell was "doing this purposefully," and she was not going to stop.

Fenty commented that one of the bright spots of this incident was that those who were injured are now being stabilized. Before visiting one of the victims of the incident, a 4-year-old, he said "it looks like everyone is going to pull through."

Helicopter crashes in Sierra Leone, killing 20

June 4, 2007

A passenger helicopter crashed in Sierra Leone on Sunday, killing at least 20 people, witnesses say.

The helicopter, operated by Paramount Airlines of Sierra Leone, was transporting clients for a charter flight from Freetown to Lungi International Airport.

There is no official word on the identity of all the victims, however it has been reported that the 19 passengers had been returning from a football match that had taken place earlier in the day between Togo and Sierra Leone at an African Nations Cup qualifying game.

One of the dead has been identified as Togo's Minister of Sport, Richard Attipoe. Other passengers were associated with the Togo Sports Ministry and the Togo Football Federation. In addition, journalist Olive Menzah has been identified as one of the victims.

Paramount operates a helicopter ferry service for a short flight between Freetown and Lungi airport. The airport can only be accessed by helicopter or ferry boat.

An airline maintenance officer told AFP news agency that the helicopter caught fire and burst into flames as it was landing. The pilot is reported dead, while the co-pilot is listed in critical condition. Both had jumped from the helicopter moments before it crashed.

The helicopter had apparently been grounded by the Sierra Leone government some months ago for safety violations, but was then put back into service, according to the BBC.

NHL: Anaheim's Chris Pronger suspended from Game 4 of playoff finals

June 4, 2007

The National Hockey League (NHL) handed down a one-game suspension to Anaheim Ducks defenceman Chris Pronger on Sunday for a hit he laid on of the  during Game 3 of the playoff finals Saturday night.

Although there was no penalty call on the play, replays showed Pronger's forearm hitting the head of McAmmond, who had to be helped from the ice. McAmmond didn't return for the remainder of the game. The hit occurred at 2:01 of the third period.

The league was swift in rendering judgment on Pronger. “A variety of factors were considered in reaching this decision," said, NHL Vice President and Director of Hockey Operations. "Mr. Pronger used his forearm to deliver a forceful hit to the head of his opponent. Also, his actions caused injury to his opponent."

Ottawa's coach was not surprised at the suspension. "I think the history of Chris Pronger comes into play a little bit," commented Murray. "There was a very obvious elbow to the head."

Pronger had been suspended for one game previously in the 2007 playoffs for a similar hit on of the, which may have influenced the league's decision on the latest hit.

McAmmond agreed with the suspension verdict. "I think it should have been a suspension because it was a blow to the head," said McAmmond. "It wasn't incidental. It's not like that couldn't have been avoided."

Whether McAmmond will be fit enough to return for Monday's game is not clear. "I'm feeling pretty much the same as I was yesterday, a little bit headachy, not feeling quite right," explained McAmmond. "I'm going to do everything I can, or as little as I can, to feel good tomorrow. I want to play, but at this point in time, I'm not sure."

Despite the injury to McAmmond, Ottawa went on to win Game 3 with a score of 5 to 3. The next game is scheduled for Monday night in Ottawa.

Russia threatens to point nuclear missiles at European cities

June 4, 2007

Just two days before the G-8 Summit is scheduled to begin, Russian President Vladimir Putin stated during an interview on Sunday that Russia will point their nuclear missiles at major European cities if the United States sets up any kind of missile defense system in Europe. Putin also said that a new cold war has begun with "the west" and that a "new arms race" has begun.

This statement came after the U.S. announced plans to build several missile defense systems based in Poland and the Czech Republic. These defense systems will include radars and missile interceptors. The U.S. states that the planned defense system is to stop incoming nuclear missiles from North Korea and Iran.

Putin says the planned missile shield in Poland and the Czech Republic will put "an integral part of the U.S. nuclear arsenal" on Russia's doorstep and upset the world strategic balance.

When Putin was asked by a reporter if Russia would consider pointing their nuclear missiles at Europe, Putin replied "of course we are returning to those times. It is clear that if a part of the US nuclear capability turns up in Europe, and, in the opinion of our military specialists will threaten us, then we are forced to take corresponding steps in response."

Putin continues: "What will those steps be? Naturally, we will have to have new targets in Europe. We want to be heard, we want our position to be understood. But if that does not happen, we lift from ourselves any responsibility for the steps we take in response, because we are not the ones who are initiating the arms race in Europe." Following the collapse of the Soviet Union and the end of the Cold War, Russia removed European targets from its rocket guidance systems.

During the interview in question, Putin also jokingly called himself the world's only "absolute and pure democrat.":

DER SPIEGEL: Mr President, former Federal Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder called you a ‘pure democrat’. Do you consider yourself such? VLADIMIR PUTIN: (laughs) Am I a ‘pure democrat’? Of course I am, absolutely. But do you know what the problem is? Not even a problem but a real tragedy? The problem is that I’m all alone, the only one of my kind in the whole wide world. Just look at what’s happening in North America, it’s simply awful: torture, homeless people, Guantanamo, people detained without trial and investigation. Just look at what’s happening in Europe: harsh treatment of demonstrators, rubber bullets and tear gas used first in one capital then in another, demonstrators killed on the streets. That’s not even to mention the post-Soviet area. Only the guys in Ukraine still gave hope, but they’ve completely discredited themselves now and things are moving towards total tyranny there; complete violation of the Constitution and the law and so on. There is no one to talk to since Mahatma Gandhi died.

President Putin also hinted that he will not go into retirement and find himself another job when his second term expires next year. "I am far from pension age and it would be absurd just to sit at home doing nothing," he told a group of reporters invited to dinner over the weekend.

In a U.S. Department of State press briefing, Monday, spokesman Sean McCormack expressed some surprise at Putin's comments. "They have more of the ring of 1977 than they do 2007. So, you know, I don't know quite what to make of it," said McCormack. "But it's just very surprising, especially given the...the new realities of not only the Russian relationship with the United States but also the Russian relationship with Europe."

When asked whether the Bush administration had any regrets on how they've handled the missile defense initiative, McCormack acknowledged some mistakes. "Well, look, you can always do things better. Even if you assume that somehow we got off...on the wrong foot with regard to the missile defense plans for Europe, that doesn't really account for this continuing rhetoric that Russia keeps harping on," he said. "We want Russia to participate in this program. We've made that offer. It's going to be up to them whether or not they participate in it," continued McCormack.

McCormack described the potential missile defense system in Europe as having limited capabilities and would be capable of intercepting only low numbers of incoming missiles. He used the argument to counter Putin's concerns. "As President Putin himself made the point, the Russian Government could easily overwhelm such a missile defense system. We agree. It's not designed to defend against Russia," explained McCormack.

Putin will be meeting directly with President Bush during the G-8 summit, which begins Wednesday.

Comments:Russia threatens to point nuclear missiles at European cities

Ya es tiempo!!
It's about time someone stood up to the U.S. government instead of bending over backwards.

oh my indeed
1This man's crazy. Maybe it's time to push that Doomsday Clock forward...--67.72.98.106 08:10, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Maybe not that extreme. I don't think he's quite so bad as that other idiot world leader. Yet. Though, admittedly, this is approaching it. One thing though, "The U.S. states that the planned defense system is to stop incoming nuclear missiles from North Korea and Iran." If that's the case, why are they building them this way. I can see no reason why North Korea would attack over two continents, then an ocean, when the only thing in the way the other side is one, albeit large, ocean. And in my personal opinion, I won't believe Iran has the capability to make it half way round the globe with their missiles yet, even if they have developed nuclear technology. Based on this, I can, at least, understand Russia's concerns, even if I think Putin's way of "dealing" with it is a tad idiotic and excessive. --86.154.69.238 21:46, 4 June 2007 (UTC).
 * The missle defense is being deployed to protect NATO allies from Iranian missiles. Many of the new NATO countries are within Iran's reach. --SVTCobra 22:19, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Russia has some kind of inside dealings with Iran and nuclear technology. IMHO this could be a move to defend Iran...maybe an "allied force." DragonFire1024 18:05, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Sounds like the same kind of paranoia that led to the first cold war, IMHO.

A Revoloution Posted On Craigslist Anarchist Chabad Sholom Keller Leah Kleim Jewish blog Revolution Reply to: mailto:comm-336300768@craigslist.org?subject=Anarchist%20Chabad%20Sholom%20Keller%20Leah%20Kleim%20Jewish%20blog%20RevolutionDate: 2007-05-22, 6:13PM EDTBE BOLD ! This is a valid question that is circulating around the Jewish blog world. In the Jewish blog circle reading the name Sholom Keller is no surprise. The Anarcho-Judaism blog, by Sholom Keller lists another interesting Jewish blog The Leah Kleim blog. It looks like the two Jewish bloggers are networking and promoting each other while publicly displaying there love for each other and at the same time becoming prominent Jewish bloggers with an audience, fan club, and Anti Sholom and Leah movement too. Other Jewish blogs such as Sevenfatcow feature Sholom Keller and Leah Kleim. By reading the blogs by Keller and Kleim I dont think they are religious people and that is why I am confused by there names and identitys. Sholom Keller and Leah Kleim are both very Jewish names, religious Jewish names. Leah Kleim has written a colossal collection on The late Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson and The Chabad Lubavitch Movement. Kleim also seems to have launched an attack on the ChabadShluchim claiming that they are not following the instructions of The Lubavitcher Rebbe. A Kleim friend HSD, produced a video of Leah Kleim at The Lubavitcher Rebbes ohel And it quickly became the top video on youtube.com under the search term ohel. Kleim and Keller both are bold, outspoken, harsh, brave, and opinionated. Sholom Keller writes about politics and the war and the general Sholom Keller out look on the world.Leah Kleim writes about any thing, with a clever witty in your face Shock Factor way. Kleim does not seem to care about politics at all. Keller is outraged and concerned with politics, even though he calls him self The Anarchist Rabbi. The two both curse like angry drunk Russians fighting over the last shot of Stoli. The New York Times published pictures of Leah Kleim and Sholom Keller at an event that the two are members of, The Chulent Community's weekly gathering, and on both the Keller and Kleim blogs They have posted pictures of each other. Leah Kleim seems to have a love hate relationship with The Chabad Lubavitch Organization. When Kleim writes about The Lubavitcher Rebbe, she captures you with her passion. The Lubavitcher Rebbe is a topic that brings out a beutifull pure and spiritual side in Leah Kleim. Chabad Lubavitch and the tactics and ways they have adapted since The Lubavitcher Rebbe's death has driven Kleim to use her notorious Bad Girl OfLubavitch reputation too expose the Dark Side of Chabad Lubavitch and The Shluchim. Is Sholom Keller a real Rabbi ? Sholom Keller wears his modified U.S Army uniform and is sort of punk or grunge nothing like the looks of a typical Rabbi. Is Leah Kleim a LubavitchJewish Porn star ? Leah is a Fashion Chamelon, sometimes dressing like a movie star and other times like a wild Rock Star some call her a Jewish porn star,they say oposites attract. Who are these two loud bold Jewish bloggers from Chabad? [Sholom Keller http://www.anarchistrabbi.blogspot.com/] [Leah Kleim http://www.babyboiiluvu.blogspot.com/] In The Crown Heights Chabad Lubavitch movement, Leah Kleim is also known as "The Infamous Leah Kleim", The Anarchist Rabbi writes about her, Many of Kleim's writings take the place of "Top Posts" on Sevenfatcow, where she sometimes signs her name as "LEAH KLEIM THE HIGH PRIESTESS OF SEVENFATCOW"  Sholom Keller has been mentioned in The New York Times, The New York Times was there to witness and document the historic Thursday night that Leah Kleim attended her first Chulent gathering, Kleim had a sign taped to her back that said "I Am Leah Kleim" (there have been reports that "The Sign" will be auctioned on e bay when Sholom Keller approves it)When Kleim arived at Chulent with her long time friend HSD on The night that would later make history and begin a Revolution, the night that Sholom Keller The Anarchist Rabbi and The Notorious Bad Girl Of Crown Heights, Leah Kleim finally found what they had been searching for and yearning for, The New World Order could now begin Sholom Keller and Leah Kleim found each other. Sevenfatcow Editors published a public invite for Leah Kleim too join Chulent and refered to her as "Prophetess" Is this Deadly match there fault ? The Anarchist Rabbi and The Infamous Leah Kleim are a pair that have been compared to Babe Ruth having Lou Gherig join the Yankees and been labeled Deadly.Pictures of Leah Kleim cause quite a stir in The Chabad Lubavitch community because she does not abide by there strict modesty laws. Photographs of The Infamous Leah Kleim have been published, Leah Kleim has been called "Drop Dead Gorgeous" and "The Reason Why Women Turn Gay" by a Hassidic Satmar writer from Williamsburg Brooklyn Sholom Keller is a 24 Year Old Veteran of Iraq & Afghanistan and his writing dosen't let the reader forget that.Leah Kleim's writing on The Lubavitch community and Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, The late Lubavitcher Rebbe cause mixed emotion in the Chabad Lubavitch movement.[ http://sevenfatcow.wordpress.com/2007/03/22/leah-kleim-on-the-rebbe/] The "Chulent" community embraces Keller and Kleim, unlike the Chabad community and there Anti Leah Kleim pro Leah Kleim uncertainty. The New York Times article on the Leah Kleim and Sholom Keller circle refers to "Chulent" as "The City Of Refuge" The Chabad Lubavitch Organization is a world wide Hassidic movement that Leah Kleim can some how rattle and awake major scandal in. The New York Times wrote that Sholom Keller grew up in a Lubavitch community and was one of 10 children in a Crown Heights home,and Leah Kleim has stated that she too was raised in Crown Heights. Leah Kleim's videos are by Produced by Shtick Dreck Productions and can be seen on the Leah Kleim channel on Youtube Sholom Keller is listed as one of Kleim's Friends on her youtube channel which boasts a video of Kleim and Keller together. Sholom Keller was on the voting panel of the JibAwards.com, The Home Of Jewish Blogs. Sholom Keller and Leah Kleim dont seem too back down, even when attacked by other Jewish bloggers. Leah Kleim and Sholom Keller are both featured posts on Mentalblog.com and Sevenfatcow both of the well known Jewish blogs stand behind Kleim and Keller when the audience is giving the Dangerous pair positive feedback however, both of the Jewish Blogs that boast Kleim and Keller are quick to join in the anti Keller Kleim "This Here Revolution" faster than Kleim can post Chabad did something in a rant, and Keller spews more "The War" drivel to the "Sheeple" aorn The Anarchist Rabbi single handedly launched The Anarcho-Judaism movement. Leah Kleim has proclaimed her self " Shtick Dreck of Crown Heights" and launched Shtick Dreck Productions and Leah Kleim.com  Some members of the Sevenfatcow clan have called Kleim "The Rebbe" and Moshiach more than once. Kleim has had positive feed back on Sevenfatcow when writing about Chabad but also much negative and Kleim bashing by Sfc Editors and visitors alike. A cow Editor by the name "Radloh" has stood by Kleim's side and defended her on Sevenfatcow. Radloh is a Kleim friend, fan,and suporter and fellow Chabadnik.Kleim and Radloh have both recived comments on there Chabad writings and views from Chabad haters and Anti Lubavitch Snags and other cow readers who simply are annoyed with hearing Leah Kleim and Radloh scream about there love for Chabad.happy2befrum posted a colorfull out look on the two "Chabad-Lubavitch and the Worldwide Chabad-Lubavitch movement the Shluchim Office and Merkos L’inyonei Chinuch,the International Mivtzoim Campaign have two new Lubavitch Shluchim who took it upon themselvs to open a new Chabad House right in the midle of Sevenfatcow. Radloh and Leah Kleim. Radloh has been publicly bashed and critsized by the other Editors of Sevenfatcow over his decision to delete anti Chabad comments and even Deleting other Editors posts on The cow that disrespect Chabad. "Shitalphin" a Sevenfatcow Editor has no intrest in Radloh's belief in Chabad and has no problem telling his fellow Editor what he thinks of his use of Sevenfatcow to advertise Chabad ,he takes a much softer approach to Leah Kleim Chabad though, not favoring it, but not destroying it, Kleim has always been a Shitalphin fan and supporter to an extent that some have wondered if there is more going on between the two than cow buisness Kleim proclaimed Shitalphin "SHITALPHIN THE BIG DADDY OF SEVENFATCOW" The Editors of Sevenfatcow and the "regulars" are a group of Jewish people who get together and discuss a variety of topics, cultures,thoughts, and even sports. When they disagree with each other it is usually civil, mature, and resolved or just accepted, How ever the black sheep of Sevenfatcow get in too hostile verbal attacks on each other or other readers who notice there outcast status and toy with them. Keller, Radloh, and Kleim are sure too be found on the long heated battles of opinion on the SEVENFATCOW. The Radloh, Kleim, Keller Trio sometimes seem like a dangerous paranoid-schizophrenic mental disorder. The bipolar alter ego trio are also close friends in The Real World, even when they attack each other on the cow;) Kleim has offered (in writing on Sevenfatcow) to go to The Ohel and put a name or note in too The Ohel for anyone who e mailes her a request. Rabbi Joseph Isaac Schneersohn died in January 1950. One year later,his son-in-law, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, succeeded him as Rebbe and overseer of the various Lubavitch organizations. Before Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson accepted the position of Rebbe, he volunteered to begin taking peoples names,letters, and hopes for a blessing to the Ohel, could Sevenfatcow be right about Leah Kleim and The Anarchist Rabbi ? Could this here match be straight from God ? Has the begining of Anarchy Chabad been launched by Keller and Kleim ? Will 770 Eastern Parkway soon be hosting Chulent gatherings with Leah Kleim chanting Lubavitch songs from old Russia and Sholom Keller handing out evil cash money to the sheeple ? Look out Chabad ! Cause now, coming at you like a Russian Bear in heat WITH A BITCH TO BOOT. Anarchy Chabad,A Post traumatic Stress Paranoid Keller Kleim Destruction Mental blog disorder. Sholom Keller and Leah Kleim will be at chulent this Thursday and Leah Kleim will be showing pictures of the shliach and the scandal

Charles Taylor of Liberia boycotts war crimes trial

June 4, 2007

Former Liberian president Charles Taylor, who is facing charges of war crimes for his role in the Sierra Leone Civil War, has decided to boycott the proceedings at The Hague under the auspices of the Special Court for Sierra Leone. He faces 11 charges of war crimes, all of which he denies.

Taylor claims that his trial will not be fair as he only has one defense lawyer. "He has not thumbed his nose at the court," said Karim Khan, his counsel, before producing the letter in which Taylor said he would "not receive a fair trial at the Special Court at this time."

Chief Prosecutor Stephen Rapp disagrees with Taylor's assessment. Taylor, he says, has been assigned a lawyer, a special investigator and funds. "Everything that can be done is being done," Rapp told the Special Court.

UEFA Euro 2008: Denmark-Sweden abandoned at 3-3

June 4, 2007 On Saturday, June 2, referee abandoned the UEFA Euro 2008 qualification match between Denmark and Sweden. The match, which was being played at in, was tied 3-3 with one minute to go in regulation time. Denmark had fought back from a 3 goal deficit to tie the match, when Fandel awarded a penalty kick to Sweden and showed the red card for a flagrant foul. A Danish fan made his way onto the pitch and attempted to assault the referee, although he was at least partially restrained by Danish players. Sweden will likely be awarded a 3-0 victory by the. This and any other sanctions will be announced on Friday.

The fan, whose identity was protected by the judge at his arraignment, apologized to his countrymen, many of whom see him as a traitor. "People in Denmark hate me, but I have no feeling yet what the reaction in Sweden is, other than they of course believe I am an idiot," said the 29-year-old Dane who claims to have consumed 15 to 20 beers before the incident.

Man wakes up from coma after 19 years

June 4, 2007

Jan Grzewski, 65, a former railroad worker from Poland fell into a coma after being hit by a train while attaching two rail cars in 1988. Nineteen years later today, Grzewski has finally awaken.

"I wake up at 7 a.m. and I watch TV. I could not talk or do anything, now it's much better," said Grzewski.

After Grzewski fell into a coma, doctors also diagnosed him with brain cancer, giving him little chance to survive. Gertruda, Grzewski's wife, has been caring for him ever since in their home in Poland.

In 2006, Gertruda began to notice Grzewski attempting to talk, and took him back to the hospital. Less than two months later, Grzewski awoke from his coma.

Grzewski was injured when Poland was still a communist nation. He remembers seeing only "tea and vinegar" on the shelves of stores.

"When I went into a coma, there was only tea and vinegar in the shops. Meat was rationed and there were huge petrol queues everywhere. Now I see people on the streets with cellphones and there are so many goods in the shops it makes my head spin," added Grzewski.

Singapore radio station fined over bra stunt
MediaCorp Radio in Singapore has been fined 15,000 Singaporean dollars (US$9,800) over an on-air stunt in March in which female guests on a radio show were asked to remove their brassieres, and pose for video that was to be posted on the station's website and on YouTube.

The Media Development Authority said the radio show's hosts made improper and sexually suggestive remarks about "how fast the bras were removed, as well as the color, design and cup size of the bras, and the size of the girls' breasts."

Malaysian researchers make erectile dysfunction drug from walnuts
Researchers at University of Malaya say they have developed an erectile dysfunction cure from walnut extract.

"It takes about an hour for the effects to set in and it will last for about four hours," said Professor Dr. Kim Kah Hwi of the Faculty of Medicine Physiology.

So far, 40 volunteers have tried the Viagra alternative, called "N-Hanz", with positive results, Kim said. To make one pill, it takes about 3.3 kilograms (about 7 pounds) of walnuts.

Boy killed in attack by Komodo Dragon
An 8-year-old Indonesian boy died after being attacked on Saturday by a Komodo Dragon at Komodo National Park on Komodo.

The boy was attacked while making a toilet stop in a bush, a park official said. "The dragon bit his waist, tossed him and dragged him. His right leg was badly scratched," park spokesman Heru Rudiharto said. The boy then bled to death.

Attacks by Dragons on humans are rare, though the reptiles, which can grow to a length of 3 meters (9 feet), regularly kill such prey as pigs and small deer. Komodo Dragons are an endangered and protected species, and about 2,000 of them live in the wild, mainly on Komodo and nearby Rinca island.

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 Mikeisgay. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Mikeisgay~enwikinews that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:18, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Russia threatens to point nuclear missiles at European cities

Welcome to the second cold war kids Momodamonkey 01:30, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

This seems like Russian propaganda
In my opinion this seems like Russian propaganda. It defends Putin way to much and critisises Bush way to much. Anyone else see this? Momodamonkey 22:43, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
 * You might find some balance by reading this article U.S. President Bush responds to Russian criticism. --SVTCobra 22:53, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I think that the second article addresses all points as this one seems like Putin wrote it. Momodamonkey 23:01, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
 * OK, I didn't write either article, so if you want effective help from me, please be more specific about your concerns. Are there factual concerns? Is something deliberately being left out, like time-appropriate rebuttals. Are there "weasel words"? Give me something to go on. --SVTCobra 02:22, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
 * This is, afterall, an article about an interview given by Putin, so naturally his opinions will be reflected. There are three paragraphs with comments from United States Assistant Secretary of State Sean McCormack. You really need to help me out and be more specific about your concerns. --SVTCobra 02:33, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
 * If he does not decide to say anything in his concerns, which Propoganda is NOT actionable objection. It is not us or anyone else to decide what a President says is true or not. DragonFire1024 05:42, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

Tag Removed
Since no one is discussing, I am removing the tag for the following reasons:

 * Propaganda is a political, personal POV. Do not make allegations to the such if you cannot back them up with sources or quotes.
 * The tag was added 2 1/2 days after publishing. It should have been reverted to begin with.
 * Original complaintant has refused to state his reasons and or discuss anything further other than stating his personal opinion of the situation, rather than providing fact to back up his claims. DragonFire1024 06:21, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

Cities?
Anyone with half a brain would check this against Putin's actual words. What he was talking about was "targets in Europe" - as in military targets, you know. Neocon press interpreted it as European cities - as in civilian targets. Notice the difference? Anyone? Buehler? --62.231.14.10 14:49, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I never thought that. And yes it is European cities. DragonFire1024 15:40, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Where exactly doesn Putin refer to "European cities".--62.231.14.10 13:21, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

Ten charged with plot to overthrow Laos government

June 5, 2007

Ten people, including former Royal Lao Army general Vang Pao, 77, and a former United States Army officer Harrison Jack, 60, were arrested Monday in six different cities in California, USA after authorities with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), uncovered a plot to bring down the government of Laos.

Suspects were arrested in Chico, Fresno, Los Angeles, Sacramento, Stockton and Woodland.

The plot, said prosecutors, involved obtaining C-4 explosives, AK-47 rifles, rockets, land mines and Stinger missiles, which were to be shipped to Thailand, and then used to take down the main branch of the Laotian government by blowing up the government's main buildings in Vientiane, the capital of Laos.

The bombs would be deployed using "special operation mercenaries," but undercover agents working with the ATF foiled the plot when the suspects were tricked into buying the weapons and supplies they needed from the undercover agents. The government's investigation was dubbed "Operation Tarnished Eagle".

"These defendants had developed an audacious plan to overthrow the government of Laos, and were seeking to arm themselves with automatic rifles, rockets and surface-to-air missiles," said the assistant to the U.S. Attorney General, Kenneth Wainstein in a statement to the press.

"The individuals arrested today thought an arms dealer would provide the necessary weapons and personnel to assist them in the violent overthrow of another government. An undercover ATF agent led them to believe he could fulfill their needs," said acting ATF director Michael Sullivan in a statement to the press.

According to a criminal complaint filed in U.S. District Court, the plot was put together by a Lao liberation movement known as Neo Hom, led in the U.S. by Vang Pao, and had conducted extensive fund-raising activities, surveillance operations and an insurgent force within Laos.

Vang Pao led Hmong forces backed by the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency against the communist Pathet Lao in the "Secret War" in Laos in the 1960s and 1970s. He served in the Royal Army of Laos, holding the rank of major general. After the fall of Laos to the communists in 1975, Vang Pao immigrated to the U.S., where he is a folk hero among Laotian refugees. There were plans to name an elementary school after him in Wisconsin, which is home to many Hmong people. Another man named in the charges, Jack, is a former California National Guard lieutenant colonel and a 1968 West Point graduate. He was involved in covert operations during the Vietnam War. Jack acted as an arms broker and organizer of the plot, according to the criminal complaint.

Most of the remaining suspects had fought in Laos with Vang Pao, the complaint said. Among those named in the complaint are seven prominent members of the Hmong community in California's Central Valley. They are:
 * Lo Cha Thao, 34, of Clovis in Fresno County. Had worked as an aide to a former Wisconsin state senator.
 * Lo Thao, 53, of Sacramento County, president of United Hmong International (also known as the Supreme Council of the Hmong 18 Clans).
 * Youa True Vang, 60, of Fresno, founder of Fresno's Hmong International New Year.
 * Hue Vang, 39, of Fresno, a former Clovis police officer. Director of United Lao Council for Peace, Freedom, and Reconstruction.
 * Chong Yang Thao, 53, a Fresno chiropractor.
 * Seng Vue, 68, of Fresno, member of United Hmong International.
 * Chue Lo, 59, of Stockton, member of United Hmong International.

A tenth person arrested, but not yet charged, was Nhia Kao Vang of Rancho Cordova, California.

Laotian and Thai reaction
The Laotian government welcomed the arrests. "We praise the U.S. government as the group committed wrong doing against the Laos government which has good relations with the US," said Yong Chanthalangsy, Laotian Foreign Ministry spokesman.

Thailand, which was to be used as a transit country for the arms, said it would investigate the plot as well. "Thailand has a clear policy not to allow any party to use our territory as a lunching pad against our neighbors," said Tharit Charungvat, Thai Foreign Ministry spokesman.

In the past year, Thailand has had to deal with a stream of Hmong refugees, and has been forcibly repatriating them to Laos. Many of the refugees said they were associates of Secret War veterans and were fleeing from persecution. They hoped to follow other Hmong refugees to the West.

Laos spokesman Yong said the Hmong in Thailand were not fighters but victims of human traffickers, and that dissident groups had been long ago been suppressed in Laos. "The arrest of Vang Pao and his group might not have direct impact to Laos as we have nothing to do with them, but it would be a good news for Hmong minorities since the traffickers would have no excuse to lure them to Thailand to seek resettlement in the U.S. with Vang Pao," Yong said.

On Monday, Thai and Laotian officials met in Bangkok to discuss border security issues, and the two countries agreed to deport the Hmong in Thailand to Laos, Yong said.

Both Laos and Vietnam remain under communist governments. In 2005, the U.S. normalized trade agreements with Laos.

U.S. Senator Craig Thomas of Wyoming dies at age 74

June 5, 2007 U.S. Senator from Wyoming Craig L. Thomas (R), 74, has died of acute myeloid leukemia at the National Naval Medical Center located in Bethesda, Maryland. He died just hours after doctors had said that his chemotherapy was no longer having an effect on the cancer.

"At this difficult time, all we can do is give him as much love and support as possible," said his wife Susan in a statement released by the Senator's office.

"Wyoming had no greater advocate, taxpayers had no greater watchdog, and rural America had no greater defender than Craig Thomas. The Senate is a lesser place without Craig here, but the state of Wyoming and our nation are much better places because he was here," said Mitch McConnell, the Republican Senate leader in a statement to the press.

Thomas won his Senate seat in 2006 with 70% of the voters supporting him, despite canceling the last half of his campaign trail due to medical issues. He announced his condition just two days after the election. He began to receive chemotherapy after winning the election and returned to work in December, a month before he was scheduled to do so.

Thomas, who supported domestic energy and minerals production, helped to federal money to be spent on building a coal gasification plant in the state to keep jobs there, rather than overseas.

"[Thomas] is a very big loss to the people of this state. He carried the values that we treasure in Wyoming to Washington and had many successes," said Wyoming state Governor Dave Freudenthal.

While Freudenthal is a Democrat and will be selecting a replacement for Thomas, the seat is not likely to shift party hands since Freudenthal must select one of three candidates offered by the Republican state central committee.

Thomas was serving his third 6 year term in the Senate.
