The accident occurred about three miles south of the Newport Pagnell service area when an articulated lorry carrying a load of steel bars jack-knifed and overturned. A number of lorry drivers and motorists were unable to pull up in time and ran into the overturned vehicle, causing a major pile-up. Some of the steel bars from the load were flung by the impact across the central reserve into the southbound carriageway, which was restricted to single-lane working because of repairs and resurfacing, causing several minor accidents. With both carriageways blocked, police closed the motorway for a time, and diversion signs were posted at the nearest slip roads. Breakdown vehicles and ambulances had considerable difficulty in reaching the scene of the accident because of fog. This was dense in places, and the flashing amber light signals had been switched on for most of the night. So far there are no reports of anyone seriously injured in the accident.
This accident, the fourth involving a multiple pile-up of vehicles in the last month, comes just as the first National Conference on Motorway Use is getting under way. At the opening meeting in London last night, Sir John Stone, the Metropolitan Area Traffic Adviser, criticised the standard of motorway driving in this country. He said that there was evidence that many of the basic disciplines of motorway use had yet to be learned by British drivers. Lane discipline was much worse in this country than in America; and the habits of drivers when overtaking were particularly bad. One saw far too much dangerous pulling-out without an adequate signal having been given, and there was a similarly dangerous tendency for drivers to cut in after overtaking. Perhaps the commonest form of misuse however, was the reluctance of drivers of private cars to move into the inside lane whenever it was possible to do so.
New industrial relations laws took hold in March, as unions joined the Federal Opposition and state governments in a vow to fight implementing the legislation. As Prime Minister John Howard celebrated 10 years in office in March, he disappointed Treasurer Peter Costello who said the Prime Minister promised him 12 years ago to hand over the leadership crown to him before two terms were up. Business In the second-biggest share offer in Australian history behind the T2 sale seven years ago, the Federal Government finally gave the green light for the third sell-off of Telstra shares. T3 shares began trading on the Australian Stock Exchange in November. The Government parked the remaining 17 per cent of Telstra stock into the Future Fund to sell down over time. Many Australians felt the pinch of three interest rate rises during this year, with the final Reserve Bank decision for 2006 setting the financial climate at 6. Farewells Australia reeled with shock as it lost two icons in the same week in September - conservationist and self-proclaimed "wildlife warrior" Steve Irwin and motor racing legend "king of the mountain" Peter Brock. Celebrities, friends and family mourned the death of actress Belinda Emmett , wife of entertainer Rove McManus, who lost her long battle against cancer in November. Courage Australians marvelled at the incredible survival of two miners, Todd Russell and Brant Webb, trapped for 14 days in May in a steel cage after a mine collapse in Beaconsfield in northern Tasmania. But the rescue was tinged with sadness by the death of third miner, Larry Knight.
The story took another tragic and ironic turn as television journalist Richard Carleton died at the scene covering the event for the 60 Minutes program. In that same month, Australian climber Lincoln Hall was miraculously found alive on Mount Everest , but fellow climber Sue Fear was lost after falling down a crevasse in Nepal. Celebrities As usual, the rich and famous grabbed their share of memorable moments in 2006.

City Helps Katrina Victims In the days after the Hurricane Katrina, the City of Alexandria sent firemen, police officers and city workers to assist in the rescue and recovery operation. Now, months after the initial devastation, the city still has several employees working in the Gulf Cost region. A team of eight police officers traveled to Picayune, Miss. Two teams of 23 firefighters traveled to Hancock County, Miss. The New Orleans Emergency Management Center has several residents helping operations run smoothly, including two firefighters, two Information Technology professionals and one Parks and Recreation employee. In November, City Councilman Ludwig Gaines presented a proclamation honoring those employees who helped during the crisis. Housing Bubble? The real estate market may be slowing. He pointed out that the vacancy rate in Alexandria was lower than the national average, creating a strong economy in the city that has been pushing up housing prices. He said that the past few years have seen a shift in the city — with new condominiums now outnumbering new apartments. As supply catches up to demand, Jinks estimated that the housing market would cool. Superintendent Rebecca Perry credited the improvement to the dedication of teachers, parents and students. So this is a huge improvement. She was a long-time community activist and volunteer who was known for her work at the Nancy Flemming Dress Shop, her involvement in the local Republican Party and the nursery that she ran out of her Lee Street house in the 1930s and 1940s. Jack Dahlinger, 75, died July 12.
It was also a year scarred with increasing conflict as more Australian defence forces were deployed to troubled regions across the world. But there were great stories of courage and compassion as Australians rose to the call to help as natural disasters ravaged neighbouring countries. As the conflict in Iraq continued, ousted dictator Saddam Hussein was sentenced to death after being found guilty of crimes against humanity. He was executed by hanging on December 30. The war itself spiralled into a quagmire teetering on the brink of civil war. A damning report called for the US to revise its troop strategy in Iraq and address the "grave and deteriorating" situation in the country. Australia recorded its first death in the Iraq conflict after soldier Private Jake Kovco died in an accidental shooting. His grieving family also expressed their disbelief and outrage after an inquiry found Pte Kovco was responsible for his own death. It was a year where conflict continued to plague the Middle East , which reached a new boiling point as Lebanese and Israeli tensions exploded in July. Hundreds of Australians were urgently evacuated of from the region. The Israeli-Palestinian conflict continued to rumble. It was exacerbated by Hamas winning control of the Palestinian Parliament in February. Subsequent factional violence among the Palestinians themselves intensified the crisis in the region.

African Wikipedias make great progress in 2006: For the first time, African language Wikipedias had more than 10,000 articles. As of today, 38 african language Wikipedias have 14,163 articles and 4,784 registered users. The greatest of these is in Afrikaans , a language of European colonial origin, that has 6,177 articles and 1,315 registered users. However, for the first time, the 37 Wikipedias in languages of African origin are bigger together, with 7,986 articles and 3,479 registered users.
In addition to the 2 that have passed 1,000, 7 have passed 100 articles. One year ago none had passed 500 and 4 had passed 100. The Wikipedia of the most widespread language in Africa, Arabic , has 21,177 articles and 44,655 registered users. One year ago, the article count for the african origin language Wikipedias was 772, the Afrikaans Wikipedia 4,439 and the Arab Wikipedia 10,247. Together they had just above 15,000 articles, while today they have passed 36,000. The pacific language Wikipedias remained small during 2006.
Polynesian language Wikipedias grew most, while the rest advanced slowly. No Wikipedia reached 500 articles. One year ago, 3 had reached 100 articles. The total article count was 918. There is still no Wikipedia in any Australian aboriginal language. East Asia competes with Europe and America as a developed Wikipedia area.
Chinese passed 100,000 articles. One year ago, the total article count was 238,190. European languages still dominate the Wikipedia system. English has 1,560,143 articles, more than the total number of articles for Wikipedias in languages of all continents outside of Europe. English passed the milestones of 1 million and later 1,5 million articles in 2006, fortifying the position of the English Wikipedia as the greatest one-language encyclopedia that ever existed. But historically, the relative weight of the English Wikipedia is going down.
The percentage of english Wikipedia articles seems to be roughly similar to the percentage of native english speakers on the Internet. One year ago they had 2,747,489 articles. With less than one thousand: Romansh state language in Switzerland. One year ago such Wikipedias had 74,392 articles.
Koch also praised German football legend Franz Beckenbauer for helping the inquiry. Beckenbauer, 70, captained and coached Germany to the 1974 and 1990 World Cup titles respectively and was head of the organising committee for the 2006 finals.
