Children to be given electronic identity cards The Telegraph Group Limited Brussels: Electronic identity cards for all children under 12 are to be introduced in Belgium. They will bear a code designed to allow parents of missing children to be traced instantly. The announcement came as Belgian police continued to search for two young girls who vanished from the street outside a bar in the middle of the night a fortnight ago. Though the ID cards would be useless in protecting children from an abductor or adult determined to do them harm, they are intended to offer a secure way of making sure a lost child can be reunited with family. Belgians have been greatly sensitive to issues of missing children since the case a decade ago of Marc Dutroux, a paedophile rapist and killer who kidnapped six children, killing four of them, before being caught. The new children's cards will carry a special code number and instructions on how to call a central missing child hotline ''Belgian police continued to search for two young girls who vanished from the street outside a bar in the middle of the night'' +And I bet they were up to no good, serves them right, WTF do you expect outside a pub at midnight+. :drunks

Their making a big story out of this to justify domestic spying.

I wish I could post some babes, but their all nude. Some of the pics Iv seen would make you jerk off all night.

Just one, ME!! Joking.

Overview (As you know, the A380 all ready made its first flight about a month ago) Designed in close collaboration with major airlines, airports and airworthiness authorities, the A380 superjumbo is the most advanced, spacious and efficient airliner ever conceived. Launched in December 2000 and now in its detailed definition phase, the A380 will enter airline service in 2006. While meeting the most stringent international certification requirements, the A380 embodies the very latest technologies for materials, systems and industrial processes. Offering about a third more seating and far more available floor space than its closest competitor, the A380 will deliver an unparalleled level of comfort, with wider seats and aisles, open spaces for passengers to stretch their legs and access to lower-deck amenities. The A380?s modern technology and economies of scale provide 15 per cent lower seat-mile costs than today?s most efficient aircraft. Consequently, the A380 will offer passengers luxury travel at much more affordable prices. The A380 will help cope with growing passenger numbers without negatively impacting the environment thanks to significantly reduced noise and emissions levels. Thanks to new generation engines and advanced wing and undercarriage design and technology, the A380 will not only comply with current noise limits but will be quieter than today?s largest airliner, meeting strict local regulations such as QC2 for departure at London airports. The A380 will generate half the noise level at take-off and carry 35 per cent more passengers than its competitor over distances such as London-Singapore. And the A380?s environmental friendliness does not stop at noise reductions. The economic fuel consumption of the A380 ? around 13 per cent lower fuel burn than its closest competitor ? will also help reduce the impact of exhaust gases on the atmosphere. Indeed, the A380 will be the first long-haul aircraft to consume less than three litres of fuel per passenger over 100 kilometres (95 miles per imperial gallon) ? a fuel burn comparable with the best of small modern turbo-diesel cars. While offering all the advantages of a completely new design, the A380 will extend the benefits of Airbus family commonality to the very large aircraft sector. Thanks to the same cockpit layout, procedures and handling characteristics, pilots will be able to transition to the A380 from other Airbus fly-by-wire aircraft with only minor additional training. Designed in collaboration with some 60 major airports to ensure airport compatibility and a smooth entry into service the A380 provides the smartest and most economical solution to growing air traffic and airport congestion. The only alternative, an increase in frequencies of existing aircraft, would not only require billions of dollars of investment by airports (in new runways, terminals and even airports) but would also contribute to greater congestion and a significantly increased impact on the environment. Airbus? analysis of this issue has been irrefutably confirmed, both implicitly, through industry-wide participation in the programme from its outset, and explicitly, through the already immense success of the A380 on the market. To date, nine customers have announced firm commitments for a total of 97 A380s, including 17 freighter versions. The A380 Family starts from a baseline passenger aircraft, the A380-800 with a capacity of 555 passengers in three classes, and a range of up to 14,800km/8,000nm. The freighter version, the A380-800F will carry a payload of 150 tonnes (330,000lbs) over 10,400km/5,600nm. Stretch, shrink and extended range variants of the baseline version will become available as and when the market requires them. The A380 can be powered by Rolls-Royce Trent 900 engines or GP7200 engines from The Engine Alliance (a General Electric and Pratt & Whitney joint venture). Cabin Layouts The A380?s twin-aisle twin deck passenger cabin offers the long distance traveller a whole new level of comfort. A cabin designed around a large sample of today?s real passengers providing more space regardless of class of ticket, wider seats and aisles. Optional lower deck use for rest areas, business, bar or other amenities can further enhance the A380 travel experience.

Did you know that if you go to weather.com and where you would put the city or town to find out the weather, put in a teams name, such as, marlins, and you will get some info about the game including the current weather over the stadium it self.

I really dont think the marlins are going to play today, I belive the front is stalled, that means lots of rain over the same area for a while. I really, really hope thats not the case though.

Hope-fully it will past by game-time, if not, maybe it will only be delayed by a couple of hours.

Oh Sh*it!!

All tortoise go to heaven, she lived a good life.

Hmmmm.....

Sounds like the attitude when your on STEROIDs.

Yes, when helms came up, I thought to myself, we have a chance.

their say on boradcast that last time this happen was in 1998 So then the Marlins are on track to win the 2011 World Series? Hehe what you trying to say? what heard was that last time this happen was back 1998 not 2011 :lol
