Richard Dawkins, the atheist campaigner and evolutionist, is planning to have Pope Benedict XVI arrested when he comes to Britain later this year for "crimes against humanity".
Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens, the atheist author, are seeking advice from human rights lawyers as to what legal action can be taken against the pope over his alleged cover-up of sexual abuse in the Catholic church.
It emerged this weekend that in 1985 when he was in charge of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, which deals with sex abuse cases, the pope signed a letter arguing that the “good of the universal church” should be considered against the defrocking of an American priest who committed sex offences against two boys. more...

LOS ANGELES — A powerful earthquake southeast of Tijuana shook Southern California on Sunday afternoon, damaging buildings in northern Mexico and border cities in California and Arizona and rattling a seismically sophisticated population as far north as Los Angeles and Las Vegas. Chandeliers swayed, homes shook and the earth seemed to slide under the feet of people emerging from Easter church services for well over a minute. more....

NASA: Solar Cycle Prediction - Sonnen Zyklus Vorhersage
A solar flare observed in Dec. 2006 by NOAA's GOES-13 satellite
May 29, 2009: An international panel of experts led by NOAA and sponsored by NASA has released a new prediction for the next solar cycle. Solar Cycle 24 will peak, they say, in May 2013 with a below-average number of sunspots.
"If our prediction is correct, Solar Cycle 24 will have a peak sunspot number of 90, the lowest of any cycle since 1928 when Solar Cycle 16 peaked at 78," says panel chairman Doug Biesecker of the NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center.
"Even a below-average cycle is capable of producing severe space weather," points out Biesecker. "The great geomagnetic storm of 1859, for instance, occurred during a solar cycle of about the same size we’re predicting for 2013." more...

Erste Sitzung der frei gewählten Volkskammer der DDR im Jahre 1990 - The freely elected People's Chamber of the DDR in the year 1990
Erste Sitzung der frei gewählten Volkskammer
Die erste und zugleich einzige frei gewählte Volkskammer der DDR konstituiert sich am 5. April 1990 im Palast der Republik. Der 10. Volkskammer gehören - einschließlich der Nachrücker - 409 Abgeordnete an. Nur drei Prozent der Abgeordneten sind auch schon Mitglieder der 9. Volkskammer gewesen. Zu ihrer Präsidentin wählen die Abgeordneten im zweiten Wahlgang die CDU-Abgeordnete Sabine Bergmann-Pohl.
The free elections to the People’s Chamber (Volkskammer) of the German Democratic Republic on 18 March 1990 completely transformed the character of that Parliament. Under the dictatorship of the Socialist Unity Party (SED), the People’s Chamber had been a sham parliament which, with one single exception, had always rubber-stamped the decisions of the state and party leaders until the peaceful revolution in the autumn of 1989. Now it transformed itself into a democratic parliament, whose members tackled a massive workload to carve out the path to the unification of Germ

by Susan Watts BBC
Most of us do not think twice about paying for something in a high street shop by keying in our pin. It is easy, fast and in most cases it works.
But scratch a little under the surface and there are persistent reports of people who say they have been the subject of fraud of one kind or another on their credit or debit card.
Now a team of computer scientists at Cambridge University has found a flaw in chip and pin so serious they think it shows that the whole system needs a re-write. more...

3sat-Nano: Störsender verhindern das Schließen von Autotüren. Der Fahrer sollte prüfen, ob sein Wagen verschlossen ist
Hintergrund:
„Ein 60-jähriger Berufsverbrecher soll per Funk versucht haben, Kö - Besucher in Düsseldorf daran zu hindern, ihre Limousinen abzuschließen. Polizisten erkannten den Mann: Er soll mit dieser Masche schon einmal im Jahr 2005 einen Schmuckhändler um Juwelen im Wert von einer Million Euro gebracht haben.“ (Zeitungsmeldungen)
Automatische Funkschließsysteme, wie zum Beispiel als Türöffnung im Auto verwendet, sind gegen Störungen deshalb anfällig, da sie sich in einem gleichberechtigten Frequenzband zum Beispiel 433 Mhz Bereich befinden. Auf dem Markt gibt es Handsprechfunkgeräte, die legal und gleichberechtigt in diesen Frequenzbereichen senden dürfen. Spezielle selbstgebaute Störsender können immer auf dementsprechenden Frequenzen stören.
Fernbedienungen von Autos können beeinflusst werden. Dafür ist es nicht erforderlich den Code der Fernbedienung zu knacken. Viel einfacher geht es mit einem Störsender. Der verhindert das Verschließen der Fahrzeuges, wenn der Fahrzeugbesitzer sein Fahrzeug mit seiner Fernbedienung schließen will, aber nicht darauf achtet, dass keine Rückmeldung, wie Blinken o. ähnliches erfolgt.
