`A pizza delivery man in Cincinnati has told police he was the victim of a robbery attempt yesterday — by a pack of girls.
Police say he described his assailants as five very young girls.
Investigators believe they’re looking for suspects in the eleven-to-14 age group.
A police captain says it’s a little disturbing.’
`Dutch troops helping earthquake survivors in Pakistan have complained that while they are subject to an alcohol ban, Spanish and British soldiers laugh at their austerity and turn up drunk at their campfire.
“We were told before we arrived that alcohol was banned in this country or else very difficult to get hold of and we accepted this,” one soldier told the Dutch daily De Telegraaf.
“The Spanish drive around with cars full of Heineken … and the English laugh at us when they show up at our campfire drunk,” another Dutch soldier said.’
`With common items such as concrete blocks, a saw blade, bare wires and gasoline, a despondent David Moore devised systems that would first kill him and then turn his home into a funeral pyre.
Neither worked as planned.
On Monday, Belmont police discovered Moore dead in his bedroom, some 20 feet away from a homemade guillotine he had built in his living room. He had gone as far as bolting tracks of metal piping to a ceiling beam to guide the blade, authorities said.
Flawless it was not.’
`The RFID-Zapper is a gadget to deactivate (i.e. destroy) passive RFID-Tags permanently. The development-team presently consists of two people. Goals are a proof-of-concept and the construction of at least one functioning and appealing prototype, as well as a documentation of the project, so that everyone can build an own RFID-Zapper. [..]
The RFID-Zapper solves this dilemma. Basically it copies the microwave-oven-method, but in a much smaller scale. It generates a strong electromagnetic field with a coil, which should be placed as near to the target RFID-Tag as possible. The RFID-Tag then will receive a strong shock of energy comparable with an EMP and some part of it will blow, most likely the capacitator, thus deactivating the chip forever.’
`State Senator Jeff Miller of Cleveland says he and his wife, Brigitte, have reached a divorce settlement.
Miller was one of the sponsors of a bill passed last session that solemnizes marriage as a union between one man and one woman. Last February, Miller told reporters most of the legislators recognized traditional marriage is “something worth protecting.”
In an e-mail statement today, the Republican said they were announcing that they have amicably resolved all marital differences and their divorce is final.’
`A member of the Southern Baptist Convention’s executive committee has been arrested in Oklahoma City on charges of propositioning a male undercover police officer.
The Reverend Lonnie Latham has spoken out against homosexuality in the past.
As he left jail yesterday, he said he was set up and was in the area pastoring to police.’
`When embalming an infant, there are many factors to consider, including the proper pressure, flow rate, fluid index and incision site. The location of the incision is very important for many reasons. One reasons is that the incision’s location will have a direct effect on the distribution of the fluid. Also, more often than not, parents will likely want to hold and touch their infant. For this reason, we need to conceal and keep the incision to a minimum. The carotid arteries should be avoided at all cost. The femoral arteries can be used, but the distribution can be questionable.’
`”Tempest for Eliza” is a program written by Erik Thiele to demonstrate the RF transmission properties of CRT monitors. The program is capable of transmitting sound over AM frequencies just by the unique way it drives the monitor. The electromagnetic emissions of CRTs can be a security problem as demonstrated by Van Eck phreaking, watching someone’s screen just by collecting RF transmissions. In the late ‘90s Ross Anderson developed software to help reduce the RF transmissions of monitors. These specialized fonts combined with shielding can greatly reduce the risk of attack and is something the NSA has been researching for many years.’
`The Rev. Pat Robertson said Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon was punished by God for dividing the Land of Israel.
Speaking on the “700 Club” on Thursday, Robertson suggested that Sharon, who is currently in an induced coma following a massive stroke and cerebral hemorrhage, and former Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, assassinated by an Israeli extremist in 1995, were being treated harshly by God for dividing Israel.’
`The average Christian need only be concerned with a few types of firearms. The weapons discussed are generally available over the counter to the citizen. This section will discuss the basic technological aspects of the various types of weapons. Specific descriptions are covered in the Hardware and Ammunition sections. [..]
The most useful arm to the Christian warrior is probably the rifle or the carbine. A rifle is a long arm with a rifled (grooved) barrel chambered for a full power cartridge, and intended to be fired from the shoulder. A carbine is simply a more compact version of the rifle, most often with a shorter barrel and chambered for an intermediate power cartridge.’
`Police in a Vancouver suburb reminded residents on Tuesday it was not a good idea to play with a loaded gun while using the bathroom, after a man accidentally shot himself.
A 21-year-old North Vancouver man was facing numerous weapons charges after he shot off one of his fingers while appar’
`A woman who died after a car crash had been shot in the heart minutes earlier with a pellet gun that her 14-year-old son received as a Christmas gift, police said.
Police said the teen was protecting his grandfather from his mother, Elizabeth White. She was threatening the grandfather with a pair of scissors, according to authorities.
The death was ruled a justifiable homicide, said Capt. Randy Landen of the Wichita Police Department.’
`A man tried to sue the council after he soiled his own trousers, it emerged today.
He blamed the embarrassing accident on the council’s decision to close a public lavatory at a bus station, and claimed he was owed the cost of a new pair of trousers.
The bizarre claim was among thousands of public liability claims which cost local government and insurance firms an estimated £250 million per year.’
`Crank Dot Net is devoted to presenting Web sites by and about cranks, crankism, crankishness, and crankosity. All cranks, all the time.
Every day at midnight, a new Crank o’ the Day is chosen!’
`Children in Washington State are being given ‘Patriotism tests’ which are completely unrelated to their studies. The paper gauges whether or not the student shows fealty to the power of the state and whether the student believes in the right to overthrow a corrupt government. [..]
Considering the fact that this paper is a complete one off in that it is not part of any standard curriculum, we must question the motivations behind it.
Is the paper a means of gauging the level of obedience to the state amongst American teenagers?’
