Runaway EMU train collides with freight train in India

May 1, 2009 At approximately 06:00 a.m. (00:30 GMT) Wednesday, between four and seven people were killed when an (EMU) passenger train crashed into a stationary  at, in Chennai, India. Between eleven and twenty persons were injured, and rushed to General Hospital in Chennai. Officials are unsure of the number of persons aboard the passenger train, which was operated by an unknown person. "It is not clear who operated (it)," said S. Jayanth, acting general manager of. The operator of the EMU train was not in the train when it left 15 minutes to half an hour before the scheduled departure time. It is said some passengers did board the passenger train.

The EMU train ignored all signals, and drove about at high speed,, before colliding with the goods train.

The driver of the goods train, Arumugam, has been confirmed as one of those who has died. The goods train was traveling between Arakkonam to Chennai. The motorman, guard and assistant jumped from the goods train sustaining fractures.

"We heard a loud noise and saw several compartments in flames. The smell emanating from bodies from the mangled coaches was nauseating," said M.N. Selvi, a nearby resident.

The platforms at the Vyasarpadi Jeeva station were destroyed, and electrical cables were torn down. The EMU train caught fire in the collision destroying two compartments completely. The other compartments were thrown from the tracks. The freight train was loaded with oil tanks, however reports indicate that only the EMU train was set ablaze.

All train services were canceled for a time on one of the busiest rail lines of India. "Train services are disrupted due to the mishap but we hope to restore the services in two to three hours time," an Indian Railways spokesperson.

Lalu Prasad announced that an inquiry will be held.

Comments:Iraqi based war video game pulled by publisher

I was looking forward to this game. It does not mean we don't care. Does it mean we don't care about WWII when we play COD or other games? Hmm..

 * The only reason why Stop the War coalition is against this game because the US are good guys.--66.229.26.39 10:11, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

Seriously.
Why do you damn liberals have to ruin everything for people who look forward to video games because you are so damn wimpy and don't like the fact that we are posting a game that contains something that has to do with current events. Why can't you just mind your own business and let the damn world go on its course.. You have to ruin everything. EVERYONE HAS THE RIGHT TO PLAY THAT GAME (if it was released, which it wasn't because of you douchebags) AND NOW ITS RUINED BECAUSE YOU COULDN"T JUST PULL YOUR HEAD OUT OF YOUR ASS AND SEE THE LIGHT OF FREEDOM. WHAT THE FLYING FUCK WERE YOU THINKING. DAMN IT. FUCK YOU LEFT WING BASTARDS! CENSORSHIP IS FOR THE WEAK!

 * Spare me. Censorship is usually right-wing stupidity.  -Victor Sheckels @ 71.7.51.25 23:02, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Cap lock broken? And I'm not even going to read what you posted.--66.229.26.39 16:59, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Let me read this right--- The military families who paid the utmost price, and are protesting the release of this game... are left wing bastards?

 * so...im a conservative becuase i believe people should have the right to choose..oh wait! thats a liberal thing (pro-choice). shut up you stupid prick the republicans shut this game down, not us. and by the way maybe you should pull your head out your ass cus by your views on this article your a liberal, ahahaha jackass doesnt even know hes a lefty. also, the left-wing has never ruined anything, their only flaw is not doing enough to straighten out the shit that the right wing has ruined. and maybe next time you could be less of a dick to get your point across, maybe more people will listen, then again being eloquent, polite, and explanitory is a left-wing thing too soo...go back to your hole and stay out off the internet so we dont have to hear your stupidity anymore.

Should you really have dropped that many f-bombs? 199.196.144.11 16:13, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

Wow, look at the eloquent and well thought out arguments given to us by the American right. Good going, champ.--72.209.8.195 19:15, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

Wait, I thought war was a game? 24.30.16.34 00:47, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

To be honest this is very hypocrytical of games publishers. They are perfectly willing to "exploit" WW2 and Vietnam and even the Gulf War. But not this? Games are in no way as 2 dimesional as they used to be and if they had treated this with the same kindof attention paid to something like Company of Heroes then there would be absolutely no reason to not realease it.

On another note it is equally liberals and conservatives that have games banned. For example Liberals might have wanted GTA: San Andreas banned because of it's various depictions of drugs and crime. Conservatives might want it banned because of the various sex things that were included (see Hot Coffee Controversy).

Medal of Honor
I don't see anyone complaining about the Medal of Honor series, some people like to get in a big fuss about nothing instead of worrying about the bigger issues.--CnrFallon (talk) 01:05, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

Ditto. I also don't see any body complaining about the movies "World Trade Center" or "United Flight 93". You could just as easily say that people unaffected by those incidents just get to sit and enjoy those "fun" movies.

Missing information
This article saws nothing about whether or not the game is still being developed (the act of creating the program the game runs off of). All it says is that it no longer has a producer, a company that will fund the actual creation of disks and pay the company that developed the game for their work.

From what I can recall, the game is still being developed, and it isn't unheard of for a game to be droped from several producers before being released. I highly doubt this game won't get released. All these complaints have accomplished is a lower amount of quality for this game.

but the cemical source[kinds of cemicals] heres 1 kind astyrotitopicrico its mixed with a little bit of atoms

Another Game Banned
Firstly i am a great fan of gaming. This does not make me evil, lazy, twisted or in any other way tainted as some people may believe.

So to the topic at hand, and you may or may not like this, i think it is shocking that these sort of games get banned.

How many people died in world war 1 and 2? Yet arguably the most popular games coming out at the moment are the likes of Call of Duty Modern Warfare. The game was given considerable praise, receiving an aggregated score of 94% from Game Rankings and 94% from Metacritic. The game won numerous awards from gaming websites, including IGN's Best Xbox 360 Game. It was the top-selling game worldwide for 2007, reaching over seven million copies by January 2008, and over ten million by June 2008.

I don't think the many fans of this series were too fussed that people actually died during the war it is quite obviously based on.

The only 2 reasons i can see for these sort of games getting banned are that it will affect the victims or their relatives, or it will "insult or influence people"

So to start with the victims, many of my family have been involved in the war, a relative of mine died during world war 2. And it doesn't traumatise me everytime i get myself a killstreak, or when i get enough headshots for a new camo on my weapon. It is ofcourse understandable to be extremely upset if a loved one is lost regardless of the situation, i am in no way saying that it isn't. But if the game bothers you that much, dare i say it, DONT BUY THE GAME.

This will innevitably lead on to fantastic games like little big planet recieving comments like "My lover/friend/relative died while trying to pin up a picture on top of the stairs so i want this game banned". Forgive me for still wanting to play my playstation.

The other possibility is that games will "Insult or influence" people. Lets take games like GTA and Manhunt for example. Manhunt wasn't particularly my cup of tea but was a good game in its own right, and anyone that hasn't been living under a rock for the last decade at least has seen, played or heard of GTA.

The arguments are almost always against the "Pointless killings" and extreme crimes that go unpunished to the point of being rewarded. Again, i can see your point and the next time one of my friends suggests stealing a car, buying (or just finding) a bazooka and commiting enough crimes that the Army send helicopters after us, just so we can shoot them out of the sky, i will write to a newspaper to express my disgust.

I think you need to actually play one of these games just to see how the whole processed is shown to be intentionally unrealistic. Even the story line was borderline insane. Man returns to old neighbourhood. Man rejoins old gang. Man takes over an entire state using graffiti and violence. Man buys out businesses using money he has made from committing petty crimes. Man then goes on to own casinos, find out that he's neighbourhood gang is being betrayed, uncovers a huge "Dirty cop" plot and solves it, kills the traitors of his "Crew" which now have a small army to hand, and man disappears into the sunset.

Yeah, i really thought that was a "How to" guide when i was playing it....

So to sum up i think the situation is that we have people that have realised there is a problem these days with escalated knifings etc. and have decided that the only way to solve it is to destroy what they believe is causing it, which happens to be the same thing that a majority of children/teenagers enjoy most.

If you prefer, we could all sell our TV's, Stereos, and computers and go out to meet the people that are really ruining our streets. Something tells me you would rather we were playing our Xbox's and Playstations at night.

Thanks for reading--193.202.105.10 (talk) 15:16, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

Who cares what the families think, their not the ones paying money for entertainment. Konami just lost money. Good for them.

There are good free games
There is no need to develop more paid-for games. There are thousands of good free games out there on the Internet and when you get bored of one or are waiting on a round-based one just go to another, such as sexpest13.mybrute.com for example. 76.73.1.50 (talk) 18:58, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

WOW
Everyone is so angry they can't go buy this game, and who could blame them? Who doesn't want to kill lots of Iraqis? Who doesn't want to see these terrorists' blood ooze through the sand? Who isn't addicted to violence? Who does it not excite? I pray this game is released! I pray that you can safely rape and kill 14 year old girls from your very own sofa! God I pray that people will look inside themselves, think for themselves, and support any war for financial gain we can throw ourselves at! support brainwashing and complete negligence

Mexico on path to decriminalize personal possession of drugs

April 30, 2009

On Tuesday, April 28, the Senate of Mexico approved a bill that would decriminalize the possession of small quantities of psychoactive drugs for personal use, including marijuana and cocaine. The proposed law has the support of President Felipe Calderón. It awaits approval by the Chamber of Deputies, the lower house of Mexico's legislature. The bill, which passed with 87 votes and 10 abstentions, would make it legal to carry quantities up to 5 grams of marijuana, 500 milligrams of cocaine, 50 milligrams of heroin, or 40 milligrams of methamphetamines for personal use. Those found with greater quantities or convicted of the intent to distribute or sell any quantity of the specified drugs face a sentence of 5–15 years of prison.

The Mexican Congress passed a similar bill in 2006, but it was vetoed by then-president Vicente Fox under pressure from the administration of former United States president George W. Bush.

The 2009 bill would authorize local authorities to investigate drug trafficking. Previously, the classification of drug trafficking as a federal offense prevented local authorities from enforcing drug laws and made it difficult to convict drug dealers: Mexico's federal courts are overwhelmed by bigger cases.

The bill would also offer voluntary treatment to drug addicts. Those detained three times for drug possession would be sent to a rehabilitation center for mandatory treatment.

 * That would not surprise me, but I'm sure I've seen reports that other non-Muslim countries are also killing pigs. Sources for all this would be good, and some analysis if this is just the opinion of the reporter or officially some sort of justification. Do we need a project page & talk for swine flu collaboration in bringing information together?

Of course, I can't prove the true intentions of the Egyptian culling, which is why I posted in opinions. --SVTCobra 01:26, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Same guy. after doing a little research, Perry has NOT issued a statement about Texas-wide school closures. However, he has shut down school sports, recomended that School with reported cases of Swine Flu close down, and has asked the federal government for more vaccinations. I didn't get to read the full articles due to my school's blocks, but that's a good start for anyone who cares. 207.235.167.230 16:12, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

Car plows into crowd during Dutch Queen's Day celebrations

April 30, 2009

Five people have died and at least 13 are injured after a car plowed into a crowd in front of Het Loo Palace in Apeldoorn, the Netherlands during celebrations of Queen's Day. At around 11:50 local time a black Suzuki Swift went through barriers erected to separate the onlooking crowd from traffic, subsequently striking a monument. Members of the Dutch royal family watched the incident take place from the open-topped bus. The incident was witnessed by many onlookers and photographers as well by media covering the pageant.

"He came out of nowhere and dragged ten to fifteen people. There is blood everywhere and people being resuscitated," a photographer following the parade for De Telegraaf said.

At around 12:00, all official activities in Apeldoorn were cancelled. Other Dutch cities have also cancelled or scaled back activities, such as the Radio 538 concert in Amsterdam and all celebrations in Rotterdam. The mayor of Apeldoorn stated that, "A good day has ended as a drama." Offical Flags throughout the Netherlands have been placed at half-mast. The Queen responded in a video speech and expressed her sympathy for the victims.

During a press conference held at 15:45, police reported that the man, who was still conscious but heavily injured after the accident, had told police that it was a deliberate act. It was also reported that the 38-year-old, a Dutch national, had not been in contact with the police until earlier that day when he was stopped at one of the barriers. He has no prior history of psychological problems and there are no indications that any sort of terrorist group was involved.

The Queen's Day celebrations, observing the birthday of the Dutch monarch, take place annually on April 30. Citizens of the country traditionally celebrate by holding late-night markets and decorating the streets of the Netherlands in orange bunting, honoring the House of Orange.

Mexico presents first population-wide genome map for a Latin country
I added some English sourcing citations to the article, but I couldn't verify the state specific facts you added to the article such as the paragraph beginning "Genetic diversity" "Although West African" and I searched for this quotation as well "With a drop of saliva we would be able to tell whether to prescribe a medication or not" to no avail. Perhaps this is in the image I cannot open large enough to read. The rest is verifiable.

Can you make some sentences shorter or one long one into two perhaps...Like this one starting..."During the ceremony" place the facts in time order and in two sentences, and it will read smoother. The lead sentence could stop at "genomic medicine " With the rest being another sentence in the next paragraph. Reduce the length of any other long sentences and pop me a message about the above, and it is good.

It is interesting the facts about how large the research ie 10 states but only 6 states made it into the database, and 4 amerindian populations but only again 1 being compiled. It doesn't state why anywhere but I wonder why. SriMesh | talk  01:51, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

Comments:Mexico on path to decriminalize personal possession of drugs

Wow really. I'm for legalizing weed but cocaine and heroine and what will these do for the war? --66.229.26.39 21:21, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I don't understand how so many can be in favor of legalizing cannabis and have an opposite stance on other drugs. The principle is the same: prohibition is an ideological failure. If it's banned it's more appealing. I bet a decent percentage of people support banning hardcore porn for dozens of fair reasons, but that doesn't make it a good idea. 24.30.16.34 21:54, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Marijuana is not harmful, as compared to cocaine and methamphetamines. Legalizing one drug really shouldn't be applied as a slippery-slope for the abolishment of all drug prohibition in general, because this prohibition does actually have a legitimate function -- to prevent the populace from suffering a lethal addiction. In that same sense, I believe tobacco and alcohol should be prohibited. 70.153.98.230 22:10, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

 * In response to 24. How we can live in a nation that Tobacco and alcohol are legal and kill thousands (and I'm not even going to mention the FDA drugs) yet pot is illegal.--66.229.26.39 22:49, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Its my belief that all drugs should be legalized. Every last one of them. The U.S. government can place a nice high tax rate on them, and make much money. The people that chose to do these drugs would face alot of difficulty finding a job, making it easier for someone like me that doesnt do drugs to find a job.  Also, the people that are born with an extra dose of stupidity will find it easier to overdose on their favorite hardcore drug of choice, and will die, and some stupidity will be eliminated from the gene pool.

Stupid people die. Government makes money. Good, honest, hard working people experience an easier time finding a job. Whats not to love?--96.248.193.83 06:16, 1 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Depending on the drug, decriminalisation or outright legalisation would probably be a good thing. The move proposed in this article leaves a situation in place where there is still an illegal element - the dealers. Do they propose a Netherlands-like system of coffee shops? On the other hand, I'd say for stuff at the nastier end of the scale other approaches might work - like the Swiss prescribing heroin to addicts. This introduces Quality Control - no more people overdosing, no more people getting the flesh-eating bug from contamination. In Switzerland those addicted to heroin are now aging, and there are no new young addicts. By setting up a system other than methadone and supplying all the addicts they killed the market for the drug in the country. They also made it unfashionable, and heroin is now regarded as a late-middle-aged to old person's habit. Many addicts actually work as well as getting their twice-daily fixes. --Brian McNeil / talk 07:15, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

Read between the lines
Well on the surface this sounds good. If the law is passed by the Chamber of Deputies and signed by Calderón, Mexicans will be able to use modest amounts of certain drugs — if they can obtain them. It would still be illegal to sell the supposedly legalized drugs, meaning a person couldn't by weed or meth at a convenience store. So at the end of the day, the black market would still be intact and people would only be able to get the "legalized" drugs from the cartels.

What the Mexican government is going to have to do is legalize not only possession but sale. True legalization would destroy the black market and therefore the cartels. Why turn to one of them if you can just buy cannabis at any legitimate store?

71.96.128.236 02:05, 2 May 2009 (UTC)
 * So if I understand this correctly, this bill is mainly to ease the overcrowding of prisons in Mexico due to drug possession arrests? 71.252.216.16 02:13, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

Chrysler files for bankruptcy, Fiat Group SpA to run company

May 1, 2009 The American auto company Chrysler filed for bankruptcy Thursday, however a deal with European auto maker Fiat went through. The emerging Chrysler will be owned 55 percent by the United Auto Workers, eight percent by the United States Government, two percent by the Canadian Government and Fiat would begin with a 20 percent share. Chrysler Chief Executive Robert Nardelli will step down when the bankruptcy proceedings are finalized.

Initially, the Italian company, Fiat, will appoint three members on the emerging Chrysler's new board, and the United States government will appoint six. Fiat can assume the majority of the ownership upon repayment of American loans.

Chrysler administrators expect that the bankruptcy should take a couple of months.

"We expect this to be a very short, 30-to-60-day bankruptcy process, during which the company will function normally," a top administration official said, "People will be able to buy cars, they will have their warranties honored, and everything should go on normally."

The bankruptcy filing indicated that Chrysler was in debt to 20 creditors to a tune of more than $10 million each.

Meanwhile, the deal with Fiat did go through, and Chrysler should have cars designed by Fiat out on the market by 2011.

"It's a partnership that will give Chrysler a chance not only to survive, but to thrive in a global auto industry," said American president Obama, "Fiat has demonstrated that it can build the clean, fuel-efficient cars that are the future of the industry."

However, automotive analyst Erich Merkle has hesitations.

"History would show that alliances really don't work that well," Merkle said, "even though, no matter how good they may look on paper."

The restructuring has been managed by Steve Rattner, a former investment banker, and the U.S. Government auto task force.

Obama has set three ultimatums before Fiat. Fiat should produce a 40 mile per gallon vehicle while managing the new Chrysler, transfer fuel efficient Fiat technology to Chrysler factories in the United States, and produce cars in Chrysler factories and distribute them in Europe.

Obama's 100-day speech warns of U.S.'s problems

May 2, 2009 After 100 days in office, United States president Barack Obama gave a speech on Wednesday, speaking about the and the, both described by the  as "two wars." He used a prime time television slot to showcase his message throughout the United States.

During his speech, he said, "If you could tell me right now when I walked into this office... that all you had to worry about was Iraq, Afghanistan, North Korea, getting healthcare passed, figuring out how to deal with energy independence, deal with Iran and a pandemic flu, I would take that deal. I would love a nice, lean portfolio to deal with, but that's not the hand that's been dealt us."

Obama also said the economy was not the only problem. There are threats to the country including "...terrorism to nuclear proliferation to pandemic flu."

Regarding the swine influenza outbreak, he said that the U.S./Mexico border will not be closed because closing the border does not fix any problems, claiming that this method did not work in the past. Instead, he said that the best method for preventing the spread of the flu is hand washing, covering one's mouth while coughing, and staying home when one feels sick. The Los Angeles Times described Obama "more like school nurse in chief than commander in chief."

On the topic of, Obama said, "I do believe that it is torture."

U.S. Supreme Court Justice David Souter to retire

May 1, 2009

United States President Barack Obama will get the chance to make his first United States Supreme Court appointment as a number of unnamed sources close to Associate Justice David Souter announced the Justice's retirement from the body, to take place in June.

NPR suggests that Souter was waiting to confirm that colleagues John Paul Stevens, now 89, and Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who has cancer, were not retiring in the coming year before making his decision; the earliest public indication of his retirement was the April 29th discovery by the Associated Press that unlike the eight other Justices, Souter had not hired a staff for the upcoming session of the Supreme Court, which begins in October.

A spokesperson for the Justice said that Souter had no comments on the reports of his retirement.

Souter, currently 69, retires from the court as the sixth-oldest justice, but his departure is unlikely to change the court's ideological balance. While appointed by Republican President George H. W. Bush in 1990, Souter has consistently voted as a member of the court's center-left bloc and a liberal nomination by Obama would likely be confirmed by a majority in the United States Senate.

The Supreme Court is the highest judicial body in the United States; its decisions on the interpretation of the Constitution can be overridden only by a constitutional amendment.

Template talk:Swine Flu infobox

Past and potential pandemics
Presenting the death figures as they've been presented on this and the Avian Flu infobox -- Spanish Flu 50 million etc, finished with 2009 swine flu and whatever the current total is -- is sensationalist. Why? Firstly, because it treats the current outbreak of H1N1 as if it were already comparable to those pandemics; secondly, because the number of deaths attributable to the current outbreak is completely unreliable and the given value of 157 is irresponsibly inflated from the number of confirmed deaths. --Killing Vector (talk) 13:21, 1 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Ok I will agree with the death toll figures of swine flu, but I don't agree that it is sensationalist. For one, if we are to say this is sensationalist, we can easily say the exact same thing for Avian flu as it never turned into anything. It was more a media hype than anything. If anything then, lets just stick to the WHO site on the numbers. Forget it. Seems the decision has already been made. DragonFire1024 (Talk to the Dragon) 16:44, 1 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I agree with Vector, it does seem a bit "sensationalistic", so to speak, and not completely appropriate (in my opinion). I'd like to revert to the other revision, but I want to avoid edit warring, so I think I'll hold off making any changes until we can see which version is more preferred.

Swine flu worldwide: update

May 3, 2009 Media reports suggest that the deadly H1N1 swine flu virus, which has killed sixteen people and infected hundreds worldwide, is continuing to spread. According to the United Nations' World Health Organisation, there are a total of 331 confirmed cases of swine flu throughout the world, with hundreds more suspected cases.

The WHO raised its pandemic alert level to its fifth level on Friday, on a scale of one to six, and has said that it is possible a transition to the highest level will be made.

Canada
The Canadian government increased the number of swine flu incidents in their country to 51 on Friday, with seventeen new cases having been reported throughout the day. Canada now has the third highest number of swine flu cases reported by country, following Mexico and the United States. "All of them [swine flu cases] are relatively mild," said Gordon Campbell, the premier of British Columbia. "Unfortunately, we may see some deaths. It's important for us to recognize that."

The breakdown of cases in Canada by province is as follows: fifteen in British Columbia, fourteen in Nova Scotia, twelve in Ontario, eight in Alberta, one in New Brunswick, and one in Quebec.

Health authorities in Alberta said they have found the first human-to-animal transmission of the virus. Dr. Brain Evans said a Canadian who returned from Mexico on April 12 infected a pig farm that he worked at. Around two hundred pigs have been quarantined and are now waiting to recover. At this time, there is no evidence of humans getting the virus from infected pigs.

Egypt
Despite assurances from public health officials that the H1N1 virus is not transmitted to humans from animals, the Egyptian government has ordered all 400,000 pigs in the country to be slaughtered, a move that the UN has denounced as "a real mistake".

Medical staff are to check passengers arriving at Cairo airport from Mexico, and monitor them during their stay in Egypt. No cases of swine flu have yet been reported in the country.

Germany
German officials have said that a nurse living in Bavaria obtained the virus, apparently contracting it from a patient that had recently visited Mexico. The nurse has since recovered. Germany has had the second case of human-to-human transmission of the virus, other than Mexico, raising concerns of a possible pandemic. Spain was the first country to have reported a transmission of the flu from a person that had not visited Mexico.

Hong Kong
Hong Kong reported its first confirmed case of the swine flu on Friday in a 25-year-old man who had travelled from Mexico through Shanghai. The 300 residents of the hotel he was staying in have been placed under quarantine. Media reports say that police officers wearing masks are now guarding the exits of the building. Health officials say that the hotel will remain sealed off for a week, and the Tamilflu antiviral drug given to all residents and staff inside.

The infected man is now reported to be in Hong Kong's Princess Margaret Hospital, where he is in stable condition.

"I assure you the Hong Kong government will try its best to conquer the virus. I stress we don't need to panic," said Donald Tsang, the Hong Kong Chief Executive. Chen Zhu, the Chinese health minister, said that it was probable the disease would soon spread to mainland China.

Mexico
Health officials from Mexico, the country where the virus is suspected to have originated, have confirmed fifteen deaths and 328 infections from the swine flu. On Friday, the government began a shutdown of the country for five days, in an effort to stop the disease from spreading. It has encouraged non-essential public facilities and government operations to close down.

Several airlines and cruise lines have cancelled or suspended destinations in Mexico. Continental Airlines lowered the number of Mexican-bound flights by half, citing reduced demand for tickets. Carnival Cruise lines, meanwhile, has cancelled all its stops at the country's ports until May 11. Previously, the cruise line had suspended all of its visits until May 4.

Jose Angel Cordova said that the number of new cases and hospitalisations from the disease seemed to be slowing down; only 46 persons with severe symptoms of the influenza were admitted on Thursday, less than a fourth of the 212 patients that had been admitted on April 20. Cordova called the figures "encouraging".

Miguel Angel Lezana, the chief epidemiologist in the country, has accused the WHO of taking too much time to respond to Mexico's warning. Lezana said that his centre had informed a regional branch of the WHO of a sharp increase in sicknesses on April 16, but the WHO had not taken any action for eight days.

The WHO rejected the accusations. "There are cases of influenza all the time, but once we knew that this illness was caused by a new influenza virus [...] we moved into operation within a matter of hours," said Thomas Abrahams, a spokesman for the WHO. "One of the things we are doing internally is documenting everything we have done, when we did it and how we have done it."

In a televised address, Mexican president Felipe Calderon encouraged people to stay at home with their families, saying that there is "no place as safe as your own home."

New Zealand
136 suspected cases of the influenza have been reported in New Zealand as of Friday, the government said. The number is a sharp increase over the 25 suspected cases on Thursday. There are currently three confirmed and thirteen probable cases of the flu, according to Health Minister Tony Ryall.

Officials stated that a passenger that had arrived from North America on April 19 had tested positive for influenza A, similar to the swine flu virus.

Julia Peters, the top medical official of Auckland, said that "we are involved today in an extensive contact-tracing exercise with his place of work." The passenger had arrived on the 19th, but did not start displaying symptoms of the flu until April 22 and did not seek medical help until April 28, when he and his family were placed into a quarantine.

Nigeria
John Odey, the Environment Minister of the African country of Nigeria, stated on Tuesday that the government has ordered all ships and aircraft arriving in Nigeria are to be checked and cleaned, in a move to prevent the entrance of the flu into the nation.

The Nigerian government has advised ill persons wishing to travel out of the country to delay such trips, while those who have returned from abroad and have the symptoms of the flu are urged to immediately seek medical help.

United States
New cases of the swine flu have been reported on Friday in 30 US states, including Delaware, Illinois, Kentucky, South Carolina, and Tennessee. The total number of cases in the country has reached 226, with one confirmed death in a 22-month-old boy in Houston, Texas.

In an effort to curb the spread of the virus, approximately 400 schools have been shut down across the country, 300 of them in Texas and a further 62 in Alabama. All high school state track-and-field championships in the two states have been cancelled. In addition, Fort Worth's annual Mayfest, which attracts about 200,000 people over four days, has been called off.

The US has said it will purchase thirteen million packages of antiviral treatment, and export 400,000 of those to Mexico.

An aide to Steven Chu, the US Energy Secretary, has reportedly fallen ill from the virus after helping arrange President Barack Obama's trip to Mexico. However, the White House says that Obama is not at risk of obtaining the flu.

1,100 evacuated due to massive Halifax brush fire

May 2, 2009

reported that a blaze which started Thursday outside of, Nova Scotia in Canada was brought under control by Friday afternoon with the help of a rainstorm Friday morning.

"If we didn't have the rain, this fire may not be under control," Lloyd Currie, a spokesman for the Halifax Regional Fire Service said. "We're happy that we're having this rain. We just need more of it."

in 2003 produced downed trees and brush to fuel this year's fire which spread through the area at 36 metres (118 feet) per minute. On Thursday, the fire was settling down, but when high winds fanned the blaze, the fire surged out of control, creating flames high which leapt from treetop to treetop.

Between 800 to 1,200 hectares (2,000 to 3,000 acres) of forest were destroyed, as were eight homes. Another ten homes were also damaged as high winds fanned the flames through the district. Police are investigating a possible case of arson during the brushfire when residents were evacuating.

Over 100 firefighters and five helicopters were out fighting the fire.

People were awakened from their sleep at three a.m. local time to report into the Red Cross evacuation centre. Residents reported driving through flames in their home driveways to escape the brush fire.

On Wednesday, firefighters thought a fire in the same district was under control. Currie feels that the Thursday wildfire was a separate fire distinct from the one started on Wednesday.

“We warned the people as fast as we could,” said Currie. Altogether about 1,100 persons were displaced because of the fire and about 500 homes were abandoned.

, Mayor of Halifax toured the devastation by air. “It's a shock. Where homes used to be they are no longer. It's surreal for me,” he said.

On Friday no flames were visible, but hot spots remained.

Halifax Regional Municipality, with a population of 282,924 in 2006, is the capital of the province of Nova Scotia.

Increased turnout, reports of violence at worldwide May Day demonstrations

May 2, 2009 advocates worldwide held Friday demonstrations commemorating, May 1st. Increased unemployment and financial hardship consequent to the ongoing global financial crisis led to larger demonstrations than in 2008, but violent incidents in some world cities marred the day of celebration. In Germany, 57 were arrested as young protestors threw bottles and set fire to cars in the capital, Berlin. Scattered violence also took place in Hamburg. 48 police and an unknown number of demonstrators are said to have been injured throughout the country, which is facing its deepest financial slump since the end of the Second World War. Trade unions in the country estimate that 484,000 people took part in the protests, some of which were deliberately violent; spokesman Marcus Berndt told the London Times, “The system is violent and now violence is being met by violence.” Meanwhile, 700  took part in an attempt to disrupt a neo-Nazi march through Berlin while the anti-immigrant  was preparing a demonstration that left police wary of further violence. Overall, though, German police characterized the events as "largely peaceful" compared to the 2008 demonstrations.

The eight major French trade unions joined forces for rallies in that country, with between 65,000 and 160,000 taking to the streets in Paris in mostly peaceful protests. France has faced continued popular unrest over the economic and labor policies of President Nicolas Sarkozy, but the half-million taking part in the May 1st demonstrations are few compared to the estimated three million who rallied against Sarkozy in March.

Industrial action by transport workers disrupted travel throughout Greece. Police used flash grenades and tear gas to disperse demonstrators in Athens. The violent encounters were between Greek police and 300 self-described anarchist university students in Athens; 6,000 had earlier marched peacefully, with no reported arrests, through the city.

Outside the European Union, record demonstrations also took place across Asia.

Marchers in Istanbul, Turkey, where the government has this year agreed to make May 1st a public holiday under pressure from increasingly-influential trade unions, were pushed onto side streets by water cannons before a pitched battle between them and demonstrators broke out, with the protestors pelting the police with missiles and police responding with tear gas. No serious injuries have been reported from the demonstrations in Istanbul, but a number of arrests have taken place.

Stability in Indonesia was on the line as 8,000 demonstrated in Jakarta for the. The Alliance, which groups together 33 Indonesian labor organizations, and represented 700,000 people, said through a spokesman that if the government did not listen to their demands for reform of the Indonesian employment system, they would reject the results of the upcoming elections. A record 12,000 turned out in, Taiwan, largely organized by labor unions; the crowd booed Taiwanese labor minister as he attempted to address them from atop a van. Taiwan faces a record 5.8% unemployment rate as the financial slowdown hurts the island's export-driven economy.

Industrial action in India was highlighted by a one-day strike in the film industry, which has undergone continuing wage disputes with management in the state of Kerala. A march against pay cuts and job losses were also staged in Delhi by the Indian Federation of Trade Unions

And 36,000 rallied in Tokyo for Japan's 80th May Day celebration organized by the Trade Union Confederation.

H1N1
I think we should focus on the difference between today's outbreak, and the pandemic of 1918. The AP reports might be less potent than the one in 1918. So maybe we should do an in-depth on fact VS fiction or something along those lines. This would be in the opening segment perhaps, or could be in-depth according to country/region.

Australia update
Australia - 30 May 2009

Some experts are calling for shift from 'contain' strategy to 'sustain' strategy response to likely pandemic of H1N1 as number of confirmed cases in Australia exceeds 200, representing a 50% increase since yesterday, prompting concern new confirmed infections have started up an exponential curve. Over 3000 people in Victoria alone are in home-bound quarantine. Symptoms are generally mild, with no reported deaths.

Swine flu
I'm getting sick of this swine flu crap. It only really hurts the exceptionally young or old, it's just a normal flu that you can /easily/ survive without medical treatment. And Obama's giving great advice on how to prevent it! Wash your hands. It's very simple. This is not a "pandemic." Just any regular flu kills even more than this. It's only a problem in Mexico because their country doesn't have excellent medicinal practice or movements to keep the air and people clean.

i wonder how could president obama solve  all of these problems?

 * In case you've missed all the news, swine flu does not "only really hurts the exceptionally young or old" - quite the opposite, in fact, most serious and fatal cases in Mexico so far have been of young, healthy adults.

The Problem With Waterboarding
Waterboarding is a reprehensible and unethical act that should not to tolerated in any country. To say its not torture is like saying child molestation isn't wrong. Waterboarding in my opinion is the devils way of spreading his evil tactics. I have to say I'm extremly disappointed with President Obamas' comment in his fist 100 day speech. Coming from a man who is all about right just doesn't make any sense to say. I believe waterboarding should be banned all over the world for reasonable purposes and maniacal reasons all the same.

Congressional computers continue to be used to vandalize Wikipedia

May 6, 2009

🇺🇸Wikinews contributors have discovered that members of the United States Congress or members of their staff have recently been making questionable edits to Wikipedia, the free online encyclopedia anyone can edit. This continues the trend identified by four exclusive Wikinews reports over a four-year period exposing questionable and fraudulent edits made beginning in 2005 by Congress members or staff.

Beginning in 2006, Wikinews reported that members of Congress or their staff were vandalizing Wikipedia by removing critical information in various articles, or adding false or offensive information. These edits were and continue to be done using computers owned or operated by the United States government.

In this new investigation, Wikinews has found that at least two of the three major (IP) attached to computers used by members of the U.S. House of Representatives and their staff have been the source of Wikipedia edits for several years. As recently as April 2009 they have been adding or removing false and/or offensive information from articles related to political figures or members of Congress.

Although the IP addresses belong exclusively to the U.S Congress as a whole, they are linked to many different computers throughout the U.S. which are used by many different House representatives or their staff members. In response to an edit, another Wikipedia contributor posts a message on the user discussion page for the IP address, advising anyone that may view the page that the address belongs to Congress.

In January, one individual using a Congressional computer removed a source in an article. Five minutes later, using the same congressional IP address, someone replaced the source with an apology saying, "sorry--House of Reps IPs should not be editing [Wikipedia], even other office's pages on lunch break." Despite the advisories, Wikinews has found that the individuals continued to make vandal-like edits to the encyclopedia.

In one instance, Wikinews found that someone with one of the IP addresses, 143.231.249.141, began to edit the Wikipedia article for, the Republican representative for. The individual began to edit on March 18, 2009 at 23:32 UTC. He or she used the official House of Representatives gateway to remove a section of information relating to inaccurate comments Austria made about. Austria stated in an interview with in February that 's  in 1933 caused the U.S. to go into a depression.

"When Roosevelt did this, he put our country into a Great Depression. ... He tried to borrow and spend, he tried to use the Keynesian approach, and our country ended up in a Great Depression. That's just history," said Austria during the February 11 interview. He later admitted that his statement was wrong, saying Roosevelt's spending "did not have the desired effect," which caused the depression. Exactly two minutes later on March 18, the same IP address removed information relating to bloggers accusing Austria of plagiarism in 2008. They accused him of taking credit for a column that was published in his name in the Xenia Gazette on September 2, 2008. Bloggers had discovered that the column was a direct copy of a report on the history of originally published by the U.S. . The edits were reverted, the last being over four hours after the information was removed. Despite some constructive edits, such as correcting the spelling of Wisconsin congressman 's name and correcting grammatical errors, the same IP removed the information in both sections a total of six times from March 18 to April 24, 2009. After seeing the suspicious edits, Wikinews examined the edit history for Austria's article to see if any other suspicious edits were made. After a brief search, Wikinews discovered that the IP address 65.189.244.162 removed the same information just 15 days earlier on March 3, being the first address to remove the information. Only one edit has been made to Wikipedia from that IP address so far. After tracing the address, Wikinews discovered the person who made the edits lives in or near, which is located 8.5 miles from , where Austria currently resides. Austria also grew up in which is located just 12 miles from Fairborn and only 8 miles from Beavercreek.

Another individual, with the IP address 75.187.63.132, also removed the allegations of plagiarism from Austria's article in February. The individual removed what they called "Politically Motivated BS [bullshit]" from the article of, former congresswoman for. The information was related to fundraisers between 2001 and 2004 that were held at restaurants belonging to convicted felon and former lobbyist Jack Abramoff. After tracing the IP address, Wikinews found that the edit was made from a computer located in, Ohio, the location of Pryce's offices and one of the cities in Pryce's district. Wikinews contacted Austria by e-mail for a statement, but so far there has been no response.

Following those discoveries, Wikinews investigated another IP address used by the U.S. House of Representatives. On April 30, 2009, the address 143.231.249.138 made an edit that listed, the representative for California's , as being a member of the. The address also made less questionable edits, but after investigating further, it was discovered that the IP address removed critical information on April 29 from the article of, the representative for New York's. The information removed was related to a column by the the which stated that Meeks initially supported former 2008 presidential candidate Hillary Clinton over Barack Obama in the race for the. According to the Times, Meeks changed his support to Obama because he was part of "a young black political class [which was] seeking to assert the neighborhood’s power against what it sees as an older establishment, based in, that has long exercised disproportionate influence in New York City."

The address 143.231.249.138 was also responsible for adding highly biased statements to articles related to abortion. On March 16, 2009 it altered the Wikipedia article, adding that the centers were "abortion mills, which exist only to kill people, also present themselves as medical facilities." On March 20, the IP changed the article to include, "millions of women have deep regrets and, often, suffer psychological problems after undergoing an abortion--a fact the abortion industry and mass media will not admit." 143.231.249.141 also added racial slurs and references to pedophilia into 's article in February, saying he has "participated in the controversial act of 'tabeling', in which he takes a small child, places him upon a table, and 'puts the lord inside him.'"

In an attempt to find out where the edits were being made and by whom, Wikinews contacted the Electronic Frontier Foundation to receive advice on how to file an information request with the U.S. government under the (FOIA). The request would have been made to release the names of the individuals and offices responsible for the edits. However, according to Marcia Hofmann, a staff attorney for the EFF, who specializes in FOIA related matters, the U.S. government is not required to provide the information.

"None of the U.S. open government laws extends to records in the possession of members of Congress or their employees. Put differently, it's not so much a question of what the information is (identities of congressional staff) as where the information is (in congressional offices, which aren't covered by open government laws)," said Hoffmann in an exclusive interview with Wikinews. She also added that "FOIA [requests] cover records in executive branch agencies and departments" only.

Suspicious and/or fraudulent edits to Wikipedia made by Congress and other government entities were first reported by Wikinews in February 2006, after the U.S. government engaged in Wikipedia vandalism and other forms of perceived biased editing of articles. The House of Representatives IP addresses were briefly banned from editing Wikipedia articles in the wake of the initial controversy. A few days later, Wikinews reported that staff members of the offices of United States Senators, using Senate-linked IP addresses, also edited Wikipedia, in some cases, removing facts and sourced material from articles. In 2008, Wikinews also reported that staff members for then 2008 candidates for U.S. president Barack Obama and John McCain made questionable edits to Wikipedia.
