Actor George Clooney injured in motorcycle accident

September 22, 2007 According to a spokesperson, actor George Clooney, 46, along with his girlfriend Sarah Larson, 28, were injured in a motorcycle accident in New Jersey after the motorcycle was sideswiped by another vehicle.

"George Clooney was involved in a motorcycle accident this afternoon after the bike he was riding was hit by a car. He's doing fine. He has a broken rib, it's very painful and it'll take a long time to heal," said Stan Rosenfield, a spokesman for Clooney in a statement.

Clooney received fractured ribs and road rash whereas Larson broke a foot. Both were treated and released from North Bergen, New Jersey's Palisades Medical Center.

Clooney is still expected to attend the opening of his new film Michael Clayton, which is to take place in New York City, New York on Monday.

Threats of school shootings at the University of Winnipeg

September 22, 2007 A message warning of a shooting was found on a men's washroom wall, across from the library, on the first floor of the University of Winnipeg's Centennial Hall, in Manitoba, Canada.

The message said: I'm going to "shoot up this place on Sept. 26." According to the Globe and Mail, the exact wording of the message is disputed.

It was reported to campus security by a student just two days ago on Wednesday morning. Police examined the scene and checked other washrooms in the facility for related threats, but found none. The washroom is closed and police are guarding it. Several school entrances were guarded off on Thursday.

As a precaution, the University has tightened up security, and an investigation with the Major Crimes Unit is already in the works. They are still trying to determine if this is a prank by one of the students, or if this is an actual threat.

"The university has taken the responsible and appropriate approach by disclosing to our community a warning message found written on a wall of one of our washroom facilities," said President of the school and Vice-Chancellor Lloyd Axworthy, who was on a trip to Chicago when he heard of the news.

"In these circumstances you're never sure," he said. "The graffiti was on the wall. There have been similar kinds of pranks in the past at the University of Winnipeg. There have been bomb threats, and we have taken appropriate action over the years, but you can never rely on that," Axworthy added. "In today's heightened and somewhat dangerous circumstances, and the society we're in, we can't take any chances."

The University's press release (see sources section) says frightened students and instructors can stay home on Wednesday. "The University respects those who make that decision and places no judgment on those who make that decision." Students can arrange to finish their missed exams on a separate date. The press release asks students to "notify your professor by the end of day Monday, September 24 (if possible) if you do not intend to attend classes on Wednesday." Faculty members, instructors, and staff are asked to notify the school on Monday if they do not wish to come on Wednesday.

Security are making random checks in students' backpacks, bags, and other items.

Police are preparing plans to take instant action on the day of the threatened shooting.

The last major shooting at a Canadian school was at Dawson College in Montreal, Quebec last year.

Less than 10,000 people are enrolled at the University of Winnipeg.

Comments:Threats of school shootings at the University of Winnipeg

Wow. If only terrorists knew how easy it is to scare people. You don't have to blow things up or kill people to terrorize, you can just say that you will! But then again, these are the same people who can't seem to figure out that less than 2% of ships coming into the U.S. are searched (shh). Contralya 02:57, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

 * I'm not sure if you're trying to say students shouldn't be scared. Making a written threat that you're shooting up a school on a specific date is serious.  I don't think writing it on a bathroom wall makes it any less serious than sending a written letter to the school.  I would be scared if I was attending that university.  Flankk 22:11, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

 * Yes. I was just pointing out how words can be nearly as effective at scaring people. Contralya 01:13, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Canadian television show to debut in French speaking countries

This article contains a mistake; the town in the show is not largely Muslim-populated, it is largely Christian-populated. 154.20.232.53 04:43, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

Umm Wouldn't Canada be considered a french speaking country? (Well at least the french speaking parts, specifically Quebec, but there are french speaking communities across Canada). French is an official language, We have a crown corporation broadcasting company in that language (CBC's French counterpart is Radio-Canada), etc. Bawolff ☺☻ 05:05, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

Singer Britney Spears faces hit and run charges

September 22, 2007 The Los Angeles City Attorney's Office said yesterday that pop music super-star Britney Spears was facing charges for a hit and run offence and driving without a valid drivers' license.

Charges were filed following an accident in which police allege Spears smashed her car into another vehicle in a parking area in August of 2007.

She could face a maximum of six months in jail and US$2,000 in fines if convicted.

A group of paparazzi recorded a video Britney steering her car into another vehicle on August 6 as she tried to pull into a parking spot in a Studio City lot.

Kim Robard-Rifkin was the owner of the other car and she filed a police report three days after the accident. The 59-year-old nurse found out that it was Spears who ran into her car after watching a video on a celebrity website.

Robard-Rifkin said, "I simply want my car fixed, the same as I would fix somebody's car if I had done that."

Spears will be arraigned on October 10.

Torch of 2008 Summer Olympics won't travel through Taiwan

September 22, 2007 After lots of turns on the route of torch relay of 2008 Summer Olympics, Taiwan and China still insisted their own political positions. The IOC finally announced yesterday that the torch's route will not cross Taiwan.

After the route was fixed by IOC, politicians and governments in Taiwan criticized China's behavior.

One of Taiwan's 2008 presidential candidates, Ying-jiou Ma (former Taipei City Mayor), commented that without the torch, he can not welcome the torch with National Song and Flag of the Republic of China. Also, Chih-hsiung Huang (KMT Legislator) supposed that Mainland China and Democratic Progressive Party should be criticized on this fault.

At the governmental level, Ming-tung Chen (Commissioner of Mainland Affairs Council of Executive Yuan of the Republic of China) mentioned that people in Taiwan do not accept the request on welcoming the torch of 2008 Summer Olympics without Flags, Symbols, and the National Song of the Republic of China, based on the cross-strait common consensus on February 12, 2007. Chun-hsiung Chang (Premier of the Republic of China) hoped that this fault won't take effect on the tourism between China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan. Chih-Wei Hsieh (Minister of the Government Information Office of the Republic of China) was proud of the protection of democracy and human rights in Taiwan even though the torch of 2008 Summer Olympics won't come to Taiwan.

According to Eastern Television in Taiwan, the reciprocal consensus' between China and Taiwan became cracked slowly, especially in such sporting events as:
 * Flag of the Republic of China was shown at Davis Cup in Taiwan at April, Cross-Strait Golf Championship and Asian Volleyball Championship at July. This was said to anger the Mainland China National Team.
 * Mainland China National Team withdrew the 2007 World Deaf Swimming Championship and YONEX 2007 Chinese Taipei Badminton Open.
 * Ta Meng (Basketball Player of Jiangsu Nangang Team) deliberately elbowed Tai-Hao Wu at Cross-Strait Basketball Championship on September 4, 2007, and caused some spectators in Taiwan to protest Chinese Taipei Basketball Association and China by drawing Flags of the Republic of China.

This Olympic Torch is first-ever declined by an IOC member without warfare factor, even though IOC won't punish Chinese Taipei (Taiwan), but this indicates that the 2008 Summer Olympics may be more faded with politics than previously has occurred.

The effects are indicated to be notable after Executive Yuan of Taiwan will promote the "Torch of Joining UN" in October 2007 and the "Human Rights Torch Relay" project by Taiwan newspaper Epoch Times in June 2008.

Comments:Barrister Hyman sentenced to one year imprisonment for false incrimination

only 1 year for Hyman!
Hymans crime was pre-meditated and serious.

He was not a man with a temporary depressive illness. He has had an irrational hatred of groups campaigning about family law as far back as 1997. (Before he became a barrister).

The judges appear lenient in Bristol (sentencing of recent peadophile is being referred to Attorney General).

The fact that Hyman had a character reference from the President of the Family Division Justice Potter..just adds even more fire the the masses of campaigning parents who want nothing short of COMPLETE TRANSPARENCY in the FAMILY COURTS.

Picture?
I'm very concerned about the picture that currently accompanies the Wikinews story. Does it illustrate the defective product? It would appear not. As such it is misleading and will add to the confusion about the recall, not reduce it. Confusion about the recall of a fatal product can lead to further deaths. It might be a pretty picture and lend some false sense of credibility, but lets leave the prettiness and shallowness to the rest of the media. 220.233.191.2 01:09, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
 * It's just a file photo, it would be hard to find the crib, especially now that it's being recalled. Don't over analyze everything. Also, two deaths, usually it takes twenty for product recalls. ;) --TUFKAAP 05:03, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

It's typical that they would try and pin on somone other than themselves. In this case, China

Richard Dawkins Foundation for Reason and Science officially deemed a charity

September 26, 2007 The Richard Dawkins Foundation for Reason and Science was recently approved as a charitable foundation in the United States. Started by biologist Richard Dawkins in April 2006, the IRS has approved the foundation's effective date of the tax-exemption as 20 April 2006. As a result, the donors who gave money before the 2007 IRS decision can deduct their donations when they file taxes in 2008.

Dawkins started the foundation to combat pseudoscience and attacks on the Enlightenment through educating the British and American publics via research, humanitarian efforts, and lectures. It intends to finance research into the psychology of belief and religion, finance scientific education programs and materials, and publicize and support secular charitable organizations. In addition, the foundation has helped sponsor the "Out Campaign," which encourages atheists to come "out of the closet."

Interview with dismissed Ocean Drive columnist Trisha Posner

September 22, 2007 Critic Robert Fulford wrote of legendary civic preservationist Jane Jacobs that she "came down firmly on the side of spontaneous inventiveness of individuals, as against abstract plans imposed by governments and corporations." With certain alterations, the same could be said of author and journalist Trisha Posner, who penned the popular Health Watch column in Miami's Ocean Drive magazine.

Posner was fired for expressing her opinion on a YouTube video about regulations affecting her South Beach neighborhood. Like many rejuvenated communities in the United States, Posner's historic south Fifth Street has become the Tribeca of Miami, a fashionable, trendy nightspot with a maelstrom of growth in hotels, restaurants and boutiques that have out-priced many long-term residents.

Local activist Frank Del Vecchio asked Posner if she would appear in the eight-minute Close the Loophole video, directed by Emmy award-winning documentarian Robyn Symon, to state her belief that a loophole that allows popular local restaurants such as Prime One Twelve and Devito South Beach to exist in her residential neighborhood should be amended to limit the amount of seats in the establishments in proportion to their number of rooms. Her segment began, "Hi, I'm Trisha Posner. I'm a journalist and columnist for Ocean Drive magazine. I am married to Gerald Posner, the author." Within a few hours after her appearance, she was fired by Ocean Drive publisher Jerry Powers.

Posner was aghast and bewildered. Attractive and comely, as a health columnist she is an unlikely candidate as a civic instigator; but those qualities belie Posner's buffalo stance on doing what she feels is right for her community. "I hate being in the public eye and I prefer to be low key," Posner told Wikinews in an interview. "To do the video I was nervous.  Only in person do I feel comfortable." Wikinews reporter David Shankbone recently spoke with Posner.

DS: What were the circumstances surrounding your dismissal?
 * TP: In South Beach and in Miami there are neighborhood associations like South of Fifth Neighborhood Association, which [Posner's husband] Gerald is President of, and they all try to work together to make living in the neighborhood synergized with the nightlife and the restaurants.  This issue involved another, Frank Del Vecchio, President of 301 Ocean Drive condominium association.  Frank asked me to be part of a video against a loophole where restaurants can have so many seats that they effectively become a nightclub.  On the video there are five others besides me.  An entertainer, a school teacher...and then I’m sitting there on a bench.  At about 4:40 we wrapped up and I left.  When I got home there was a phone message from [editor-in-chief] Glenn Albin saying, 'Trisha, Trisha, Jerry is running around the place...' and I thought it was a joke.  I started laughing.  Gerald said he didn’t think it was a joke, but I had not done anything.  Then I received an anonymous e-mail: Jerry Powers had got a phone call from a hotel person that said 'one of your representatives from the magazine is down here bad mouthing nightlife, hotels, etc.'  The magazine's publicist panicked and called Powers, who then runs all the way down to City Hall and asks ex-Mayor Neisen Kasdin to let him speak before the City Council.  He says that Trisha was not for him, and that Ocean Drive is for entertainment and hotels in South Beach.  Then he said I was fired as he left.

DS: Did you receive a call from Jerry Powers?
 * TP: I never heard from Jerry Powers; he never phoned me, e-mailed.  I still have never heard from him.  I phoned the office the next day, and [Managing Editor]  Eric Newill tells me my services would no longer be required.  I had one piece ready, and one piece in the issue.  The saddest thing is that I lost my friendship with Eric.  Eric was my friend before he was my editor.  He is friends with Jerry Powers.  Eric wrote me an e-mail that it had played out too publicly and that he wished me good luck in my future endeavors.  What kind of friendship is that?

DS: Had you informed the magazine of your appearance beforehand?
 * TP: Eric knew I was doing a video, and I did it in my friend’s hotel.  I don’t remember if I told them what it was for.  But the video wasn’t a secret.  In the future I will ask permission.  But it’s childish.  I can’t believe Jerry Powers took this and made it an issue.  Nobody would have known about it, and now I’m all over the place.  He made Trisha Posner a star.  I can’t go anywhere without people saying, 'Yay, good for you!'  And they still have not paid me for my last piece.  I sent them another e-mail on the 17th.  They owe me $1,000.  They have not written back to me, they have not phoned me.  Why are they being so childish?

DS: Did you ever have any other problems at the magazine?
 * TP: No, I never had an issue and I had the best working relationship with this magazine.  I have nothing bad to say about the magazine. I had a fabulous relationship—a unique relationship with my editor.  I had never worked so well with an editor of a magazine my entire career.  It was so easy, he is so smart, cerebral...it’s unbelievable.  But they also got a lot out of me.  They got Tina Brown through me.  Bill Maher.  I have an incredible track record.  It was not hard for me to phone people and get them for the magazine.  And I never used them for my advantage at all; I never used the magazine to get into restaurants or events.  People say you never went to the parties, but I’m over that.  I used to be a Studio 54 girl.  I just really enjoyed my health column.  They allowed me to write in my own voice.

DS: Why do you think Powers fired you?
 * TP:  It’s all advertising driven, but I’m interviewing people for a new book who have advertised in his magazine.  It wasn’t a big deal for anybody.  The very next day Miami Magazine picked me up.  He had a knee-jerk reaction.  He didn’t even phone me.  Wouldn’t you think he would phone me and say, 'What the hell are you doing?' and I would have been like, 'Oh, I didn’t realize.'  Besides, I was crazy about my editor!  Why would I try to hurt him?   I hope one day I can work with Eric again.

DS: Has any other employee of Ocean Drive appeared publicly before and been identified as such?
 * TP:  As far as I know I’m the first one, that’s why I made history.  But I wasn’t talking about Ocean Drive.  I hadn’t thought that under my name were the words 'Columnist for Ocean Drive'.  I didn’t see anything.  Later I had e-mails from Tina Brown, everybody...they were really supportive.

'DS: Your husband, author Gerald Posner, wrote a piece in The Huffington Post'' about your dismissal. Several of the comments to it state that since Ocean Drive is a large glossy magazine dependent upon advertising from the entertainment industry, that you bit the hand that fed you. How do you respond to such criticism?'''
 * TP:  That’s the stupidest thing I have ever heard, because it had nothing to do with Ocean Drive.  There is another world.  I'm not against development; if you listen to my statement I talk about how much I love the nightlife, how I love entertainment.  But we all have to learn to live together.  I know South Beach is party town, but we can live together.  Let’s clean up our shit, take our garbage out, be respectful to our neighbors and also to the entertainment industry.

'''DS: Some of the comments that were made in HuffPo were that even though it was despicable that you were fired for expressing your opinion on a civic matter, that you should have expected it. Do you think comments like that are par for the course of apathy in the United States today, where people disagree with something, but shrug their shoulders instead?'''
 * TP: I think we live in dangerous times because of corporate America—people are really scared to speak out about anything; it is really dangerous.  Freedom of speech.  I came to live here in this country because it was for freedom of speech.  I love America, and it has everything I could have dreamed of: the most incredible husband, friends, everything.  But they are chipping away at it.  One company is one company, but it shows how dangerous it is.  What happens when the Rupert Murdochs own everything?  They are trying to gag us.  It is very dangerous.  Whether it is the film industry, the music industry, D.C., they are trying to strangle all of us.  All these regulations of what we can or can’t do.  Does it mean if I have an opinion that I have to be gagged or not say who I am or what I think?  What can and can’t I say?  Maybe I’m just too black and white.  I think we need to just chill out here.  It wasn’t about Ocean Drive or Jerry Powers.  It was about my home and my friends.  I was helping out Frank.  It was about the loophole and the Bijou [hotel].  I think what really freaked them out was that the video was professionally done.

'''DS: Another comment said, "The magazine itself sounds like a total contribution of everything that [is] wrong with America right now. Instead of promoting smart growth and longevity, it prostitutes itself to every new development, even at the cost of other developments (advertisers) who will lose out when this new one opens." What are your thoughts on the magazine?
 * TP: I have an opinion about Ocean Drive.  I used to say I don’t know who reads my columns, but I know they look good and I have an excellent following because people would stop me on the street or give me tons of e-mails.  I understand what they are saying, but it is South Beach and that magazine works for South Beach.  It’s been around for 13/14 years.  I think that it’s healthy there is competition coming in.  But the demographics for the magazine are people in their mid-twenties and early thirties.  I didn’t realize that.

DS: What are your feelings about Jerry Powers?
 * TP: This man is a bully, and he wanted to bully me.  He is not going to scare me.  I’ve been in this business 20 years, and there is only one man who scares me: my husband.

Talk:Interview with dismissed Ocean Drive columnist Trisha Posner

The Editor Sez: ''Fulford could cause legal trouble for using a quotation he made about an unrelated person, and applying it with his name to somebody else - no matter your clarification. I'd suggest ditching it. I'd also strongly encourage contacting Powers to get confirmation that her story is true, since again, as amateur as we may be, libel is no small deal - and I imagine "fired for Youtube comments" might make a more interesting headline". Sherurcij refusing to add Original Reporting until PD Articles are allowed'' 19:27, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
 * That's completely untrue re: Fulford. I also don't need to contact Powers because it's an interview with Posner.  Look, can you hold off until I'm finished?  What's your rush here?  --David Shankbone 19:31, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
 * ...no it isn't. You can't put "Ronald Reagan once said that Ernest Hemingway was the country's best author because of his ability to capture the benign and make it personal...and the same is true of this book" on the back of a book you're selling.  It's common legal sense.  Also, you're right about the Powers thing technically, since it's now designed as a Q/A interview - at the time of my comments it was still being shaped more as an article. Sherurcij refusing to add Original Reporting until PD Articles are allowed'' 00:03, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Of course you can say one thing was said about someone, and the same thing can be said about another person. I went to Fordham Law School, so I'd be curious to know what legal issue you think would be involved?  We aren't saying "Robert Fulford said this about Jane Jacobs, and he would also say this about Trisha Posner" we are saying the same thing said about one person applies to another person.  --David Shankbone 01:34, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

FC Barcelona presents project for new Camp Nou stadium

September 22, 2007 British architect Norman Foster and FC Barcelona president Joan Laporta presented today in Barcelona the redevelopment project for the team's stadium, Camp Nou, built in 1957.

The Catalan club expects that this redesign will turn the stadium into a city landmark and that "the external image of the stadium will become a recognized brand for FCB." Works will begin in 2008.

The new stadium will be wrapped in a colourful mosaic made up of the team’s colours (blue and red) and those of the Catalan flag (red and yellow) and reminiscent of Gaudi's style. This reptile-like cover of tiles and lights will allow the stadium to transform itself according to the time of day and the events taking place. The project also includes the building of a retractable roof.

According to the Club, "the remodelled stadium is designed such that it can be built with minimal disruption FCB normal football activity."

Bluetongue disease appears in UK for the first time

September 22, 2007

The first ever case of Bluetongue disease has been reported in the UK. The case involves a cow at a farm near Ipswich, Suffolk.

Bluetongue affects ruminants such as sheep and cows, but is not known to affect humans. It is sometimes fatal, depending on the animals affected, and presently has no treatment. The disease was prevalent in Africa for many years and had since migrated to European nations such as France and Germany, causing officials had feared a UK outbreak in the UK follows recent outbreaks of the disease on the European continent in nations such as France and Germany.

Experts such as microbiology professor Hugh Pennington of Aberdeen University had suspected the disease would eventually spread to the UK.

Woman strikes lucky betting on Champions League football

September 24, 2007

A woman found herself £226,000 richer, one the biggest ever payouts to a female client, after placing a series of bets on last weeks Champions League games, despite knowing nothing about football.

Kathrin Rotmann, 33, placed a £1,000 bet based on her tactics of supporting "teams that are strong and winning".

"I am delighted. I only ever bet on football — last year I won £35,000 with one bet. I just keep a track of those teams which are playing well and bet on them. It was very exciting when the results went my way."

She was delighted when she saw her bet multiply in front of her eyes, when her 226-1 odds of wins for Arsenal, Man United, Rangers, Slavia Prague, Barcelona, Roma, Fenerbahce and PSV come in on television.

The exact amount won was £226,834.36.

Hello friends, family and loved ones: I have attached a promotional flyer for my recently released autobiography. Below is an excerpt from my information on amazon.com. If you are interested in purchasing a copy, it is my fond hope you will enjoy the read!! Please be kind enough to take a moment to post your comments on the book at my www.amazon.com site / Debbie Danilow. Blessings and peace to all....and happy reading. Debbie Hello.

I have opened my heart to my readers in this spiritual autobiography in an attempt to help anyone who might be struggling with any or all of the issues with which I myself have struggled in this life. I always felt so alone and out of place. It seemed as if everyone around me had their life in order, while my life just continued to fall apart.

Being an only child in a volatile home situation, I turned inward to find solace for myself. My journey through temporary 'fixes' for my pain may be familiar to some of you but ultimately, I came face to face with myself to find the light I so desperately sought.

This is my journey home to God. It is my hope somewhere in this story you will find something which brings you strength, or joy, or comfort, or clarity. It is my hope somewhere in this story you will find peace, find God, find Love.

Blessings to you on your journey. Debbie

Talk:18 dead after multiple twisters strike US Midwest

The article has an image (Image:Seymour Texas Tornado.jpg) with the caption that starts with "Yesterday's tornadoes".

Turisas release cover of Boney M. hit song 'Rasputin' as single

September 22, 2007

Finnish folk metal/viking metal band Turisas have released their first music video and second single, a cover version of the Boney M. 70s disco hit Rasputin.

The Turisas version of the song was released as a single, on September 21 in Germany, to be followed by France, the United Kingdom and various other territories on September 24, Spain on September 25 and finally the band's native Finland on September 26.

At each release, it will be available as a CD, which will feature the band's song Battle Metal, from the album of the same name as a B-side, and as a limited edition picture 7” vinyl record featuring In the Court of Jarisleif from the album The Varangian Way as a B-side.

Band frontman Mathias "Warlord" Nygård explained the concept behind the video: "This video is pretty far from what you'd expect from a Turisas video - or any metal video for that matter! The idea to the video is just as wild as the cover song itself: a battle metal band covering a 70's disco hit. Just as the song, it is a crossover of the 70's kitsch attached to the Boney M. track, but performed by us as we do it. Director Vesa-Matti Vainio and the whole crew did a great job on this one and to me, this is a good pick for our first video ever. I assure you, there are plenty of ideas on epic spectacles to be looked into later.”

He goes on to explain how the unusual cover came to be in the first place: "We've been begged to record Rasputin pretty much since we first played it live a couple of years back. It's amazing how popular this cover version of ours have become at our gigs during the last year and it really makes us feel like we must have done something right here looking at big crowds going totally mental over a 70's disco hit! I remember getting the idea for this cover years back - in 2001 I think. I was on a ferry trip between Finland and Sweden and there was this cover band performing 70's disco hits. The minute they blasted 'Rasputin' I knew, that at some point, we would need to do it in some form or another. It was just obvious that it would work amazingly well given a slightly more modern and heavier touch-up. Personally I've always preferred these old 70's disco bands".

2007 Major League Soccer: Toronto FC end drought; lose to Crew

September 22, 2007

Toronto FC ended their Major League Soccer record goalscoring drought at 824 minutes in a 2-1 loss to Columbus Crew. The loss takes Toronto FC to a 10 game winless streak. Columbus ended a 7 game winless streak. The last time Columbus had won was against Toronto FC on July 20 when they won 2-0. Columbus' season record against Toronto is 2 wins and a draw from 3 games.

Miguel Canizalez opened the scoring to end the Major League Soccer record drought in the 2nd minute from within the penalty area. Toronto FC found many chances to increase their lead, but to no avail. Canizalez found himself in the starting lineup for the 1st time since April 14.

Columbus came out attacking in the 2nd half and it paid dividends in the 61st minute when Jason Garey scored the equalizer. Substitute Jacob Thomas scored the winner in the 83rd minute.

The next Toronto FC game is away to DC United on September 29 while Columbus Crew faces Los Angeles Galaxy at home on September 30.

Mime Marcel Marceau dies at age 84

September 23, 2007

The French mime died at age 84 yesterday in. Emmanuel Vacca, Marceau's former assistant, announced his death on a French-Info radio station. Media reports also indicated his death was announced by his family.

Marceau appeared on stage for over 50 years without uttering a word. But, the off-stage chatty Marceau once said, "Never get a mime talking. He won't stop." His last known international tour was in 2005.

Prime Minister Francois Fillon said, "The mime Marceau will forever be the character of Bip."

Marceau was a French Jew who survived the Holocaust. Marceau was born as Marcel Mangel in Strasbourg, France on March 22, 1923.

No details about the cause of death or the funeral arrangements were immediately clear.

Yasuo Fukuda is elected as LDP President, Japan

September 23, 2007

Reports indicate (71), the former  has been elected to be the new president of the  - the ruling party of Japan. This will put him in place as the successor of Prime Minister and LDP President Shinzo Abe, who announced his coming resignation 11 days ago. Reuters states Fukuda won the party presidential election which was held Sunday afternoon in Tokyo; he got 330 votes from eligible voters, lawmakers of the party and representatives of 47 prefecture level branches, thus defeating his sole opponent Taro Aso (67), the former foreign minister, who received 197 votes.

 reports Aso got more votes than his core supporters had expected. On September 23, his supporters held a meeting in Tokyo but only 44 lawmakers attended. His supporters therefore guessed the total votes he would get would be around 90 but expect now his "loss in a good fight" rather strengthens his position in the party and hence in Japanese politics.

reports that slightly larger number of party members voted for Aso than Fukuda in local level elections, while Fukuda got 76 votes of 141, which had been assigned to prefecture level LDP branches, and Aso received 65. LDP headquarter allows each branches to choose their preferable decision making way, and 35 branches choose voting. In those branches, 253,692 eligible voters voted Aso, 250,613 voted Fukuda. 12 branches didn't allow every member to join decision making, and Fukuda seized the support from eight of those 12 branches. Aso was strongly supported by the areas which have major cities, while Fukuda was supported in rural districts.

Since LDP has lawmakers many enough to have their favorite person win the prime minister nomination, Fukuda is likely to succeed to Abe as prime minister also. Reports say the will hold the prime minister elections on September 25.

Sounds like a cool organization. I am gonna try to make a donation, if I can find out how. Contralya 14:27, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

HAHAHAHA!! Richard Dawkins is going to meet God one day when he dies and the first thing is he going to say is " Oops..i guess "they" were right about you". The man doesnt even KNOW how life started ( in his own theory).... but he keeps repeating that there is no God.... what a parrot.. Hell is the only home for you my dear mr. Dawkins. or do you not believe in that as well.. ..hehehe. Satan just cannot wait to shake your hand!

Well I am not much of a football person. British have rugby... rugby isn't played in the USA, if it was, it would probably be a subcategory of wrestling. Both football and rugby are brutal/dangerous, rugby is basically just a brawl, while football is the most strategy based sport in the world. And if you want to take something back, please delete it. I didn't want to see that offensive section. And by the way, football players aren't government employees... and football armor would not stop bullets, the troops have the best protection that is technologically available. I don't listen to anti-Americans. Contralya 05:57, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes, it is played in the U.S. (see Wikipedia articles). But since the U.S. created Football, which originated from Rugby, the sport is not as popular anymore. More than anything, Rugby is most popular in Commonwealth countries. — —Fellow Wiki  Newsie 18:03, 24 September 2007 (UTC) Posted at 18:18, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
 * It's not quite true that Rugby isn't played in the US, it's just not the most popular sport there. I could link more, but that'd be over the top. And they're in the current World Cup too, even if they're not very good. Either way, 28-10 is better than 3-0. Also, I wouldn't really call rugby "basically just a brawl" and american football "the most strategy based sport in the world", when a lot of the tackling in the latter is done when the tackled person doesn't even have the ball... I fear I went extremely off-topic, so I'll just be heading off now :P. --86.130.33.217 18:08, 24 September 2007 (UTC).

Israel releases 90 Palestinian prisoners

September 23, 2007 The Israeli Government has agreed to release ninety Palestinian prisoners as a gesture of 'good faith', in an attempt to Palestinian support of President Mahmoud Abbas over the rival Hamas party.

Israel had originally said it would release a hundred Palestinian prisoners, but announced that ten of the prisoners could not be released as planned - a judgment typically reserved for those who have committed violent crimes against Israelis. The list of names is expected to be announced in the coming days.

Abbas praised the measure, but still called for the release of 11,000 other Palestinians held in Israeli prisons.

The ruling Hamas party also welcomed the measure. Last year Hamas captured an Israeli soldier and demanded a prisoner exchange with Israel, though terms have still not been finalised.

Israel had already decided last June to free 250 prisoners convicted of non-violent offences.

"Israel follows a 'revolving door' politic in which she arrests Palestines when she wants and releases them when she wants. I think this is not accepted by our people", stated Hamas spokesman Fawzi Barhum.

Seven caves found on Mars: NASA

September 24, 2007 New images from Mars, taken by NASA's Mars Odyssey spacecraft and the Mars Global Surveyor have shown what appears to be at least seven entrances to large caves on the slope of Arsia Mons, a Martian volcano. Scientists believe the caves are very large and they believe that they lead to the subsurface of Mars.

All of the cave entrances, which were named "The Seven Sisters", are at least 100 to 250 meters (328 to 820 feet) in diameter. Infrared images show that the temperature variations from night and day show that they are likely caves. "They are cooler than the surrounding surface in the day and warmer at night. Their thermal behavior is not as steady as large caves on Earth that often maintain a fairly constant temperature, but it is consistent with these being deep holes in the ground," said Glen Cushing of the United States Geological Survey (USGS) Astrogeology Team and of Northern Arizona University located in Flagstaff, Arizona.

While some scientists say that "somewhere on Mars, caves might provide a protected niche for past or current life, or shelter for humans in the future" (Tim Titus of the U.S. Geological Survey), others disagree as to this possibility, since most of the caves "...are at such extreme altitude, they are poor candidates either for use as human habitation or for having microbial life. Even if life has ever existed on Mars, it may not have migrated to this height," added Cushing.

The caves are believed to have been formed as underground stresses around the volcano caused spreading and faults that opened spaces beneath the surface. Some of the holes are in line with strings of bowl-shaped pits where surface material has apparently collapsed to fill the gap created by a linear fault.

NASA plans to use the Odyssey to find more possible caves at lower altitudes in the future.

India defeated Pakistan by five runs in the final of the 2007 ICC World Twenty20 at Wanderers Stadium, Johannesburg, South Africa.

Gautam Gambhir scored 75 runs as India were limited to 157-5 after twenty overs. The other Indian batsmen fell cheaply, with Rohit Sharma the second highest scorer, reaching 30 not out. Yusuf Pathan was the first to fall, dismissed by Mohammad Asif for 15 runs. Robin Uthappa fell for just eight runs while Yuvraj Singh made 14 before being caught and bowled by Umar Gul, who was Pakistan's best performing bowler, taking 3-28. Gul also bowled Mahendra Singh Dhoni, who made six runs.

Pakistan suffered an early blow when Mohammad Hafeez was dismissed in the first over, and Kamran Akmal fell for a duck soon afterwards. Misbah-ul-Haq top scored with 43 runs as Pakistan neared the Indian total, but wickets fell too quickly as R P Singh took 3-26 and Irfan Pathan took 3-16 to set up a tense finish.

Wikinews interviews English mathematician Marcus du Sautoy

September 24, 2007

Marcus du Sautoy is Professor of Mathematics at the University of Oxford. He is not only a researcher; he had great success with the popular book The Music of the Primes. His last book Finding Moonshine will be published in English in February 2008. It has already been published in Italian with the title Il disordine perfetto ("The perfect disorder").

In September 2007 he was in Levico Terme (Trento, Italy) for a conference. He was interviewed for Wikinews.

Interview
'''What are you doing here in Levico? Are you going to talk?'''
 * Actually, I'm an organizer. So many people wanted to talk, so we decided to take a step backwards so I am not giving a talk here. But I have several students here who are talking about work related to what I do. My work is looking at symmetry, something called group theory, but using tools from number theory, something called the Zeta function, which was introduced by Riemann. So I used that tool to try and understand instead of prime numbers, which are very hard to understand, what sort of symmetry can exist. That is one of the major things I have been investigating. This conference is looking at ways of connecting lots of different ideas in mathematics to help us understand groups and symmetry.

'''As a mathematician you are dedicating yourself not only to research but also to popularization. Why?'''
 * I think being a scientist is about making discoveries but it is also as much about communication. I mean discoveries really cannot be said to exist, I think, unless you communicate them to other people. So, for example this conference is about communicating to our peers but I think that communication can go to a much broader audience. It brings the mathematics alive much more, if you can communicate it to more people. But also, you know, I became a mathematician because people, the generation above me,  made the effort to excite the general public about mathematics and I thought that was what I wanted to be when I grow up, so my hope is as well that my popularization will encourage the next generation of mathematicians but also to encourage politicians to recognize that maths is an important part of our society and needs to be funded.

What about your experiences on radio and television?
 * I've done a lot of radio work, exploring mathematical ideas on the radio. However, people could not just think that maths could be done on television, you know, what are you going to see? It was a real breakthrough for me to be able to make some documentaries about mathematics. In particular I did a documentary about The Music of the Primes, and it was great! It was a travel program because mathematics is a very international subject and so we travel around the world: to India, to Germany, to Greece. At the moment I'm in the middle of making a history of mathematics series for the BBC, four one-hour programs from the Ancient Babylon through to the modern day. So we've been all over the world to China, to India again, Africa... And I also did a game show, that was quite fun, called Mind Games, which was a puzzle show which I hosted. I think a lot of people got into mathematics because of puzzles, especially at the moment, with Sudoku being so popular, I think people will love doing puzzles - now it's a very popular TV show.

How do you explain the success of your book The Music of the Primes?
 * Well, I think people love stories, and I tried to write that book rather like a murder mystery. I really think that solving a mathematical puzzle is a little bit like trying to find who done it in a murder mystery. And I tried to keep that narrative line very strong in the book, so people read it like a novel, and I think a lot of people have said that it does read in that way. You actually do not find out who done it in the end because it is an open problem. So for me in a novel it is important to have a good narrative structure which the mathematics provided, but the people as well, that was important to me, to bring the people alive who did the maths. Even if people do not get the maths, they enjoy the stories about the people, the period of history that is being talked about and they can still follow the paths of mathematical narrative even if they do not get the details so I that is why it was so successful.

And what about your last book Finding Moonshine?
 * This is a slightly more challenging writing project for me, because it combine both historical story on symmetry with a personal story of what I do as a mathematician. It is divided into twelve chapters each one a month in a year of me being a mathematician. As I tried to combine what I do - I think people find deeply mysterious what a mathematician does all day - so I tried to give people a little bit of access to the world that I live in. But you are seeing also some historical story, a bit like The Music of the Primes but looking at symmetry instead.

What do you think of the Italian title, Il disordine perfetto ("The perfect disorder")?
 * My editor chose the title and I really love it actually. In England it is called Finding Moonshine because it's a quote from a play that I love, A Midsummer Night's Dream by Shakespeare, and also there is a mathematical idea, something called moonshine which is the climax of the book. And the Italian title I rather like because it what that sums up that tension in mathematics between everything looking so disordered and chaotic and yet so perfect because it just has to be like that. So I think it really is a title that catches the beautiful tension in mathematics between things with a lot structure yet with complexity.

'''Do you know Wikipedia? What do you think of it?'''
 * My impression is that science in Wikipedia has an incredible high standard. And I think it is scientists of different levels - senior, junior - taking their time to record things on Wikipedia. Early on there was a lot of mistrust about how accurate something created by the public for the public could be. But I think the evidence is that in mathematics and science it has an incredibly high standard. I really think it's incredible valuable tool for people exploring mathematical ideas. When I get questions from general readers about some of a little bit more technical side of - say - things about primes it'll be either Wikipedia, that I would refer them to for some more details or another (right good) website which has great mathematical material which is Wolfram Creative Mathematica have a very good encyclopaedic resource for mathematics. That is slightly more technical maybe than Wikipedia. They together I think do a great service.

'''This is the article about you on the English Wikipedia. What do you think of it?'''
 * It is very interesting, there are funny little details - pretty things - which people pick up, for example the school that I went to, that's great – you know – I went to the State Comprehensive School called Gillot (which nobody probably has heard of). It  gives people a little bit more history to where I come from. Somebody has picked up one particular article that I wrote in a American magazine. It's kind of curious why picked up one article when I wrote hundreds of other articles, it's slightly curious. So I think Wikipedians can get skewed, in some sense, because some people see one particular aspect instead of others. But everything's accurate here. And the good thing is that it provides many external links: you got access to find out more.

'This is the article about your book The Music of the Primes''...
 * It's pretty accurate again. You can tell there's an American influence here because they picked up the American subtitle. In England it is called The Music of the Primes: Why a Problem in Mathematics Matters and this one is Searching to Solve the Greatest Mystery in Mathematics.

Talk:Wikinews interviews English mathematician Marcus du Sautoy

I have interviewed Marcus du Sautoy on September 20. I would like to thanks Andreas Carter, Browonut and an anonymous for having helped me in transcribing the interview. --Jaqen 12:10, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

 * Does that mean the interview was tape recorded or digitally recorded audio? If the latter, would you consider (at your convenience) uploading the file to Commons? --  Zanimum 17:07, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

Shouldn't there be an article in the works about Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's visit to Columbia university? There are gearing for massive protests, besides the speech itself. Contralya 13:25, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
