When Franck Lecerf trundled off to the local supermarket in his Renault Laguna 3 on Saturday, little did he know that he would be involved in a cross-border car chase that would end up in Belgium and make national news.

 

Mr Lecerf has filed a legal complaint after his car, specially adapted for disabled drivers, jammed, forcing him to plough all round the northern French coastal motorway.

 

After a terrifying, white-knuckle ride in which he saw "his entire life flash before his eyes", Mr Lecerf ended up in a Belgian ditch surrounded by a fleet of French police cars when his petrol finally ran out.

 

The 36-year-old was on a dual carriageway on his way to a hypermarket when the car's speed dial first jammed at 60mph. Each time he tried to brake, instead of slowing down, the car accelerated, eventually hitting 125mph where it refused to budge.

 

As other cars honked and swerved from his path, he managed to call emergency services who instantly dispatched numerous police cars. Realising Mr Lecerf's only option was to keep going until his petrol ran out, they escorted him at breakneck speed across almost 125 miles of French motorway, past Calais and Dunkirk, and over the Belgian border.

Cybercrime Network Based in Spain Is Broken Up

By RAPHAEL MINDER

Published: February 13, 2013

 

 

MADRID — Europol, the European police agency, said Wednesday that it had dismantled one of the most efficient cybercrime organizations to date, led by Russians who had managed to extort millions of euros from online users across more than 30 countries — mostly European — by persuading them to pay spurious police fines for abusive use of the Internet.

 

The Russian head of the crime network was arrested in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, in December. This month, the Spanish police arrested 10 other people — six Russians, two Ukrainians and two Georgians — along the Costa del Sol, a popular vacation destination in southern Spain, where the criminals are believed to have had their main base of operations.

 

The criminal threat, essentially a form of online extortion called ransomware, relied on malware that authorities believe was developed by the Russian-led gang. It locked a user’s computer, and send a message in the form of a fake police warning, demanding 100 euros ($134) to unlock it.

 

In most cases of ransomware, victims do not regain access to their computer unless they hire a technician to remove the virus manually. In Spain, after thousands of complaints, the Interior Ministry set up a Web site to help users uninstall the virus. The Web site received about 750,000 visits last year.

Video has emerged of a tiny, puffed-up frog emitting squeals in what appears to be an attempt to ward off predators.

 

But the crying little amphibian comes across as far more cute than intimidating.

 

The cartoon-like Namaqua Rain Frog is abundant along the South African coast and in some dry, scrub-covered inland areas rather than near water.

 

Adult frogs only grow to be about 46mm but can puff up their bodies to ward of predators, as the frog in the video appears to have done.

 

South African YouTube user Dean Boshoff published the footage online on Wednesday.

 

"That noise is supposed to scare me off?" one commenter posted on the video.

 

"Evolution, you failed."

We've known for a while the level of William Shatner's influence in fictional outer space, but now the 81-year-old actor is using his star power to influence the real deal.

 

The man who played "Star Trek" captain James T. Kirk is summoning his sway with throngs of Trekkies to help get a Pluto moon named "Vulcan."

 

The "dwarf" planet's fourth and fifth moons are currently nameless -- simply going by "P4" and "P5" -- and the SETI Institute (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) has set out to change that. The institute, comprised of scientists, has listed out suggested moon names, but has also encouraged voters to submit write-ins.

 

Enter "Star Trek" fans aka Trekkies.

 

Once Shatner proposed "Vulcan" to be a Pluto moon name, fans rallied. As of now, "Vulcan" -- a fictional planet in the "Star Trek" universe -- is winning by a landslide. "Cerberus" and "Styx" are battling it out for second place.

 

Once votes are tallied, they'll be submitted to the International Astronomical Union (IAU) for consideration.

 

Pluto's P5 was discovered last summer, and all of its named moons thus far have been inspired by Greek mythology with monikers like "Charon" (the ferryman of Hades), "Nix" (a beautiful Greek goddess) and "Hydra" (a nine-headed monster). Seeing as it is a "Star Trek" planet named after a Roman god of fire, "Vulcan" will definitely stray from tradition if it officially becomes a Pluto moon name. Some observers have their doubts it will even be allowed by the IAU.

 

Do you want one of Pluto's moons to be named "Vulcan"? Vote here to let your moon preference be known!

Prince Philip told a Filipino nurse on Wednesday that her country "must be half empty – you're all here running the NHS" – in a demonstration that his ability to raise eyebrows remains undiminished at the age of 91.

 

Wacky comments are hardly likely to decrease when a dude gets that age now are they.

 

:lol:

Chemicals linked to problems with otters' penis bones

 

Otters' reproductive organs may be affected by chemicals in our waterways, according to scientists.

 

Experts studying the reproductive health of the mammals in England and Wales were concerned to find a decrease in the weight of otters' penis bones.

 

Other health problems in males included an increase in undescended testicles and cysts on sperm-carrying tubes.

Well here is one: Don't think the global warmists will like this bit of news.

 

Northern Hemisphere Sets New, All-Time Record Cold Temperature: -96.1°F In Oymyakon Siberia !!

By P Gosselin on 23. February 2013

 

That’s -71.2°C, and it shatters the previous record of -68°C (-90.4°F) set in 1933! Hat-tip DirkH.

 

UPDATE: Russian media confirms the new record: http://publicpost.ru/theme/id/3284/oymyakon/!

 

There’s been a lot of confusion over the last couple of days concerning a record low temperature allegedly just recorded in Siberia. News reports in the mainstream media made it sound like the reading was recorded decades ago, or they just muddled it. For example The Mail had a feature here. No mention that it’s a record set just days ago.

 

But now it appears that the record was actually set on February 19, in Oymyakon, Siberia.

 

The confusion is understandable, as the news just doesn’t square with the global warming narrative.
