A 30min radio offering via bbc iplayer http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00hc946/b00hc6xc/Jon_Ronson_and_the_Quest_for_the_Aryan_Cow/ (runs until 9:32pm Thursday 21st January 2010 ) covers the trip to Munich Zoo by John Ronson. "Jon Ronson investigates the controversial story of the work of Lutz Heck, the director of Berlin Zoo who attempted to resurrect several pure-blooded, extinct animal species as part of the Nazi programme to control the genetic destiny of all creation.
He visits Munich Zoo, which proudly advertises its 'formerly extinct aurochs' - a type of large and powerful cow - but does not refer to the fact that behind this apparent triumph lies the story of Heck's collusion with Goering's aspiration to replace Europe's 'racially degenerate' wildlife and plant life with pure, 'noble' and extinct species."
Almost a year ago the NYT wrote about the joys of vinyl, is this a seasonal thing? The article (half hidden behind a registration) extolles the virtues of vinyl and how it can be used to better your social life by following the story of Melissa Walker of Brooklyn after discovering vinyl records in crates, and she has made playing them part of her life. http://www.nytimes.com/2008/12/02/technology/techspecial2/02table.html?_r=1
The oyster card is a means of prepaying for public transport, use it to purchase tickets after 9:30 as these are much cheaper as being considered off peak travel and are valid on bus, train and subway travel http://www.tfl.gov.uk/. Also remember to pack all your encryption keys as you never know when border guards way wish to view what is on your laptop and to not surrender such keys when requested by the authorities may well ruin your vacation http://security.homeoffice.gov.uk/ripa/encryption/
Police search through safety-deposit boxes. On the day of the raid 3554 boxes were seized.

Ars gives a short guide to locking down Facebook http://arstechnica.com/web/news/2009/08/meshing-social-networking-and-privacy-on-facebook.ars but once someone else has posted and tagged you via their account then all bets are off as your life good, bad or ugly is there for all to see.
The Guardian would suggest that the met Police e-crime unit were involved in the take down http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2009/nov/18/zeus-zbot-trojan-virus and the e-crime unit http://www.kable.co.uk/government-ecrime-review-home-office-14jul09 is part of GCHQ http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2009/jun/25/cyberspace-war-computer-hacking-fraud.
