Porn actress sought on child rape charges

`A 20-year-old porn actress is wanted by police on child rape charges after allegedly having a sexual relationship with a 15-year-old boy, giving him drugs and convincing him to run away with her to Oklahoma, authorities said. [..]

Silva allegedly met the boy, a former DeAnza High School student, through her brother and began a sexual relationship with him in June, Peixoto said.

The boy ran away from his home in El Sobrante and moved in with Silva in Richmond. In an interview with police, he said Silva had supplied him with methamphetamines, ecstasy and marijuana.

At some point, Silva, her mother and the boy moved to Roosevelt, Okla., where Silva and the boy continued their relationship and their drug use, Peixoto said.’


Woman Swallows Cell Phone After Argument

`It was a conversation stopper. A lovers’ dispute over a cell phone took a serious turn early Friday morning when the woman ended the spat by swallowing the phone whole.

Police said they received a call at 4:52 a.m. from a man who said his girlfriend was having trouble breathing. When they arrived at the house they found the 24-year-old woman had a cell phone lodged in her throat.

“He wanted the phone and she wouldn’t give it to him, so she attempted to swallow it,” Detective Sgt. Steve Decker of the Blue Springs Police Department. “She just put the entire phone in her mouth so he couldn’t get it.”‘

Dog Frozen to Railroad Tracks Is Rescued

`Jeremy Majorowicz thought something was wrong when he saw a dog sitting on railroad tracks for at least two hours. But he didn’t realize how wrong until he and several other men determined that the gray and white husky had been literally frozen to the ties in below zero weather. [..]

“I lifted his tail and hind quarters, and saw he was literally frozen to the tracks,” Strand said. “He was pretty hunkered down.”

Strand pulled hard on the dog’s tail, and was able to release him, but he said the move pulled a lot of hair from the dog.

“He gave a heck of a whelp,” the officer said.’

Dick Cheney / Donald Rumsfeld Slash Fiction

`“I don’t want you to leave Mr. Rumsfeld!!” Wolfowitz pounced on top of Rumsfeld.

Rumsfeld, without nothing more to do except just let Wolfowitz glomp all over him, he placed a firm grip around his back. Wolfowitz then unexpectedly kissed Rumsfeld, forcing them into a gleeful embrace. They began to kiss shamelessly and slowly part afterward. Rumsfeld felt confused but a bit chipper out of that. It made him hug Wolfowitz firmly toward him. He let his hands travel on Wolfowitz’s back pocket and feel something there. Rumsfeld was perplexed.

Wolfowitz giggled and held back. “Oh! That’s my trusty comb back there.”’

Will 2005 Be the Warmest Year on Record?

`Two major meteorological organizations agree: 2005 was a very warm year, and if it didn’t set a new record for high average temperatures, it came very close to doing so.

Last week the United Nations’ World Meteorological Organization (WMO) based in Geneva, Switzerland, reported that the global mean surface temperature in 2005 is estimated to be 58.06°F (14.48°C). That figure is 0.86°F (0.48°C) warmer than the average between 1961 and 1990.

Although official figures will not be released until next February, 2005 is likely to be one of the hottest four years since record-keeping began in 1861. October and June of this year were the warmest those months have ever been.’

Wise guy: tests confirm Einstein’s formula correct

`Scientists at Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) will report in tomorrow’s (Dec. 22) issue of the journal Nature that Albert Einstein’s formula, E=mc2, is correct. [..]

By comparing NIST measurements of energy emitted by silicon and sulfur atoms and MIT measurements of the mass of the same atoms, the scientists found that E differs from mc2 by at most 0.0000004, or four-tenths of 1 part in 1 million. The researchers said the result was “consistent with equality” and is 55 times more accurate than the previous best direct test of Einstein’s formula.’

Letterman lawyers fight restraining order

`Lawyers for David Letterman want a judge to quash a restraining order granted to a Santa Fe woman who contends the CBS late-night host used code words to show he wanted to marry her and train her as his co-host.

A state judge granted a temporary restraining order to Colleen Nestler, who alleged in a request filed last Thursday that Letterman has forced her to go bankrupt and caused her “mental cruelty” and “sleep deprivation” since May 1994.

Nestler requested that Letterman, who tapes his show in New York, stay at least 3 yards away and not “think of me, and release me from his mental harassment and hammering.” [..]

Nestler’s application for a restraining order was accompanied by a six-page typed letter in which she said Letterman used code words, gestures and “eye expressions” to convey his desires for her.

She wrote that she began sending Letterman “thoughts of love” after his “Late Show” began in 1993, and that he responded in code words and gestures, asking her to come East.’


Double-Mouthed Fish Pulled From Neb. Lake

`This fish didn’t have a chance. A rainbow trout pulled out of Holmes Lake last weekend had double the chance to get hooked: It had two mouths.

Clarence Olberding, 57, wasn’t just telling a fisherman’s fib when he called over another angler to look at the two-mouthed trout. It weighed in at about a pound.

“I reached down and grabbed it to take the hook out, and that’s when I noticed that the hook was in the upper mouth and there was another jaw protruding out below,” said Olberding.’

How does Google collect and rank results?

`One of the most common questions we hear from librarians is “How does Google decide what result goes at the top of the list?” Here, from quality engineer Matt Cutts, is a quick primer on how we crawl and index the web and then rank search results. Matt also suggests exercises school librarians can do to help students.’

When I can be fucked, I’m gonna read this thoroughly and see if I can’t improve my rank for “biphallic” or “dildo” searched a bit more. 🙂


Top 7 PHP Security Blunders

`PHP is a terrific language for the rapid development of dynamic Websites. It also has many features that are friendly to beginning programmers, such as the fact that it doesn’t require variable declarations. However, many of these features can lead a programmer inadvertently to allow security holes to creep into a Web application. The popular security mailing lists teem with notes of flaws identified in PHP applications, but PHP can be as secure as any other language once you understand the basic types of flaws PHP applications tend to exhibit.’

There’s probably a bunch of these in my PHP code. [sigh] I’ll find them and fix them one day, but until that day, please be nice. 🙂


Fall in love and risk a police thrashing

`Outrage and protests mounted in India Wednesday after TV channels showed police officers repeatedly slapping, punching and pulling the hair of young women on a date in a public park in a north Indian city.

Indian media reported one couple was so humiliated by the police action in front of TV crews they have not returned home. [..]

Since Tuesday, shocked TV viewers in India have been watching images of female officers pummelling and abusing crying young women in Meerut in what the media is calling “moral policing.”

TV footage also showed male policemen with sticks surrounding the scared women and taking them to women officers who beat them. Several of their male companions were beaten also.

The police operation, termed “operation Romeo,” in a popular park in Meerut Monday was touted by police as a move to prevent sexual harassment of women.’

It’s Holy Father Christmas as pope dons traditional hat

`Pope Benedict XVI resembled a clean-shaven Father Christmas when he donned a red velvet hat with white ermine trim to face a winter chill for his weekly general audience. As temperatures hovered around nine degrees celsius (48 degrees fahrenheit) thousands of pilgrims who gathered in the square were treated to the rare sight as the 78-year-old pope arrived for the audience in his popemobile, waving to the crowd.’

He looked like a very, very evil clean-shaven Father Christmas.

The tunnel rat who was a global hacker

`Police know him as Andrew Sanders, supposed white supremacist. His neighbours know him as a quiet 25-year-old who cannot leave home without his mum. And computer nerds know him as Valiant, international cyber hacker.

Years before the Cronulla riots prompted police to allege a link with white supremacists and raid his home, Sanders was the head of a hacking organisation called Halcon, which claimed to be the nation’s most popular. [..]

Police arrested him and four others in Ramsgate on Sunday, accusing him of being linked to white supremacist groups. Officers raided his house on Monday and said they found a haul of weapons and suspicious items.

He is charged with possessing an unlicensed firearm, a prohibited weapon and an item used for disguising a face.’

This guy used to use a BBS I also used, many years ago. He was an idiot. Still is, by the sounds of things.

Men Grew Pot Inside Cave

`Investigators described a marijuana-growing operation discovered inside a cave in Trousdale County as something out of a James Bond movie.

“It’s pretty amazing what they had under there – water for irrigation, special lighting, devices to keep the humidity just right. These guys were professionals. They knew what they were doing,” said District Attorney General Tommy Thompson of Hartsville.

The cave was beneath a stylish A-frame home where authorities say three men were able to grow as much as 100 pounds of marijuana every eight weeks. [..]

To harvest the illegal crop, Thompson said the men would hire a half-dozen Hispanic workers in Arizona and drive them to Tennessee. For part of the journey the windows on the van would be covered so the workers did not know where they were.

“They would drive right into the cave and let them out to begin working,” Thompson said.’

Computer worm traps child porn offender

`A child porn offender in Germany turned himself in to the police after mistaking an email he received from a computer worm for an official warning that he was under investigation, authorities said Tuesday. “It just goes to show that computer worms aren’t always destructive,” said a spokesman for police in the western city of Paderborn. “Here it helped us to uncover a crime which would otherwise probably have gone undetected.”

The 20-year-old was caught out by a version of the “Sober” worm, a prolific Internet virus which can invade computers and then send out messages from a host of fabricated addresses.’


Grandparents of sick child arrested for stealing donations

`The grandparents of a 12-year-old boy waiting for a lung transplant are charged with emptying the charity account set up to pay for his medical expenses.

Charles Norman Vaughn Sr., 61, and Phyllis Vaughn, 55, were each charged Tuesday with felony theft of more than $10,000 after the boy’s mother said an account for collecting community donations was found empty. [..]

Terry said she hopes people who previously donated won’t be discouraged by the charges from giving to similar causes in the future.

“I know it’s too late for us now; our ship has sailed,” Terry said. “But please, please, people, there will always be other families and other children who need a transplant or who have cancer or leukemia.”‘


Stalin’s half-man, half-ape super-warriors

`The Soviet dictator Josef Stalin ordered the creation of Planet of the Apes-style warriors by crossing humans with apes, according to recently uncovered secret documents.

Moscow archives show that in the mid-1920s Russia’s top animal breeding scientist, Ilya Ivanov, was ordered to turn his skills from horse and animal work to the quest for a super-warrior.

According to Moscow newspapers, Stalin told the scientist: “I want a new invincible human being, insensitive to pain, resistant and indifferent about the quality of food they eat.”‘
