The LAPD is testing glue-tipped GPS darts fired from police cruisers to track fleeing white Broncos.

The Los Angeles Police Department is testing a new secret weapon to halt high-speed pursuits: smart darts. The LAPD will use air-propelled miniature baseball size “tags” equipped with a global positioning system. The officers fire the darts, which stick to a fleeing motorist’s car, and within minutes can find and track the suspect’s location.

This reminds me of a video game (either Starfighter or Freespace) where you first shoot the target with a non-damaging tag. Once the target is tagged, you let loose with salvo of missiles that home in on the tag. So how long will it be before the LAPD mounts rocket launchers on cruisers or traffic lights, for that matter?

A PENRITH mum has appeared on national TV to explain why she is still breastfeeding her daughter who is nearly eight – and why she gave her older daughter breast milk as a ninth birthday present.

Veronika Robinson appeared on the Channel 4 programme Extraordinary Breastfeeding as a passionate advocate of allowing children to decided when they give up breast milk.

Elizah is approaching her eighth birthday and is not happy at the prospect of giving up her daily feed. “I don’t want to be weaned. I want to breastfeed for ever,” she said.

In an interview before the TV programme, 38-year-old Veronika described her reaction when Bethany asked for breast milk for her ninth birthday. “I was delighted, if a little taken aback,’ she said.

“I’d stopped breastfeeding Bethany when she was five – though I was continuing to feed her younger sister, Elizah – but obviously she clearly remembered what a wonderful feeling it had been. It was the best thing she could imagine and, presented like that, it seemed like a great idea.”

Veronika, who edits an alternative-parenting magazine called The Mother continued: “My girls were brought up to think it was completely normal to ask for a breast in a shop,” she says. “That’s bad enough when they are toddlers, but when they are big girls, people get freaked out by it.
