Will Wikileaks Revolutionize Journalism?
AlterNet – Jun 24, 2008
And for good reason: anyone with access to a computer can edit entries. Through the various industry grapevines I’ve ascertained that the Cape Cod Times isn’t the only news organization that considers Wikipedia to be a potentially polluted source. Wikileaks however is a different animal — despite the similar interface the fledgling whistleblower site shares with Wikipedia. If you’re not familiar with Wikileaks you should be because since it debuted last year the international transparency network behind the site has forced governments and news media to take notice most recently with the posting of whistleblower documents that indicate “thousands of sterilizations and possibly some abortions took place in 23 Texas Catholic hospitals from 2000 to 2003″ as reported by the Catholic News Service in the wake of the leak.

"We have Mapshare so people can update maps when they’ve seen that the provided maps aren’t up to date" Kearney says. "At the moment we use Sensis maps which has a big update once a year and maybe lesser ones throughout the year. "Mapshare however is like Wikipedia for mapping. Changes such as road closures changes to speed limits or new points of interest can be added by the user. "Like Wikipedia these are used to update the map database once they have been thoroughly verified and confirmed. " Worldwide Kearney says 1. 5 million changes were made via the mapshare service in the past year… "Mapshare however is like Wikipedia for mapping.

Winter solstice bash in Chintsa West
Dispatch nline – Jun 24, 2008
T he tradition of the winter solstice dates back to ancient times and was an important date on the pagan festival calendar. Worldwide interpretation of the event has varied from culture to culture but most cultures have held that the event symbolises rebirth and have held festivals gatherings rituals or other celebrations around the time of the winter solstice. nline encyclopaedia Wikipedia says the word solstice is derived from the Latin words sol (sun) and sistere (to stand still) which placed together mean “sun standstill in winter”. It says the winter solstice occurs at the instant when the sun’s position in the sky is at its greatest angular distance on the other side of the equatorial plane from the observer. In the southern hemisphere this phenomenon usually occurs between June 20 and June 23 during either the shortest day or the longest night of the year. South African Weather Service spokesperson Garth Sampson reported that “there was some truth to the belief that the coldest part of the South African winter came after solstice”. According to Wikipedia the seasonal significance of the winter solstice is varied since it astronomically marks either the beginning or middle of the hemisphere’s winter… In the southern hemisphere this phenomenon usually occurs between June 20 and June 23 during either the shortest day or the longest night of the year.

The ocasionally accurate Wikipedia says the demographics are: 99. 35 percent white 0. 07 percent African American (I did the calculation and that would be equal to one person). — Unity is about 60 miles from Manchester mostly on local roads. The seldom-reliable estimate from Google Maps calls for about a 90-minute drive time.

Gladys Gooding who played Brooklyn Dodgers games at Ebbets Field John Kiley at Fenway Park in Boston and Shay Torrent at the old Comiskey Park and Anaheim Stadium were just a few of the beloved organists of their day. Bartak has quite a following himself. He even has an entry on Wikipedia. The World War II veteran was a studio musician for about 10 years at maha radio station WW where he worked alongside Johnny Carson. He played bar mitzvahs and other gigs all over town and perhaps was best known as the accordionist at Mr. C’s Italian steakhouse in north maha. He filled in at Rosenblatt from 1955 until 1980 and has been the full-time organist ever since.
