Full Body Scanners

by Anne

The botched terrorist attempt has brought a new wave of airport security. Now, full-body scanners are the latest talk by the Transportation Security Administration. The TSA wants to increase the number of full-body scanners throughout the U.S. over the next few years.

Umar Farouk would have been detected with the powdered explosive with the full-body scanner, Experts say. Abdulmutallab stuffed in his underwear and ignited aboard a flight from Amsterdam to Detroit.

Concerns remain that intelligence agencies compound security gaps by not properly sharing information about terror suspects, the TSA's goal is to have multiple layers of advanced technology to ensure nothing dangerous gets aboard a plane.

But the machines have raised privacy concerns because it can "see" through clothing and reveal the shape of a passenger's body. Any passenger who doesn't want to go through a full-body scanner is allowed to request a pat-down instead.

Full-body scanners will be introduced to O’Hare International Airport, Chicago, as reported by Daily Herald.

Rosemarie S. Andolino, commissioner of the Chicago Department of Aviation, was asked about the scanners Tuesday during a briefing with reporters on security measures at O'Hare and Midway airports.

The Netherlands is stepping up the security with moves to instate full-body scanners within three weeks. 

The major international airport of the Netherlands will begin using full-body scanners on passengers flying to the United States to prevent a recurrence of the security breach that allowed a would-be bomber to smuggle explosives onto a flight to Detroit from Amsterdam said authorities on Wednesday.

Dave Brubeck, Grace Bumbry, Bruce Springsteen, Mel Brooks

by Anne
December 29th CBS aired the Kennedy Center Honors ceremony originally held on Sunday, December 6th, with Caroline Kennedy as host for the seventh consecutive year.

This year's honorees are Mel Brooks, Dave Brubeck, Grace Bumbry, Robert De Niro, and Bruce Springsteen. With President Obama and Vice President Biden in attendance and performances delivered by many artists including; Jack Black, Matthew Broderick, Harry Connick, Jr., Melissa Etheridge, Aretha Franklin, Herbie Hancock, Ben Harper, Harvey Keitel, Frank Langella, John Mellencamp, Edward Norton, Carl Reiner, Martin Scorsese, Martin Short, Jon Stewart, Ben Stiller, Sting, Sharon Stone, Meryl Streep, and Eddie Vedder, the roster represents a nice little variety of talent. This yearly event recognizes recipients for their lifetime contributions to American culture through the performing arts in dance, music, theater, opera, motion pictures and television.

Dave Brubeck, has written a number of jazz standards including "In Your Own Sweet Way" and "The Duke". Brubeck's style ranges from refined to wild, reflecting both his mother's attempts at classical training to his improvisational skills.

Bruce Springsteen, The Boss just turned 60 this year and is still feeling his oats. Bruce & The E Street Band is still playing to sold-out arenas around the world. Bruce Springsteen is simple one of music’s mega-stars of the 21st century.

Mel Brooks, now why would Mel Brooks be mentioned in music since he’s mainly known for his outrageous movies like "The Producers," “Blazing Saddles,” “Young Frankenstein," and “High Anxiety.” "The Producers" won an Academy Award for best original screenplay, and the beginning of a lucky streak that continued right through the movie's transformation into a smash play on Broadway.

Grace Bumery, As a youth Grace Bumbry sang in church choirs and was obsessed with singing as a child. In 1955 she entered Northwestern University, where she studied voice and later transferred to the Music Academy of the West in Santa Barbara, California.

Jimmy was not only one of the world's best drummers, but more importantly he was our best friend and brother.

Adam James

Adam James, the son of former NFL running back and current ESPN college football analyst Craig James, suffered a concussion and was unable to practice with the team following the suspension of Mike Leach.

According to reports, Adam James suffered concussion and was told not to practice due to the concussion and elevated heart rate. The injury was alleged to be caused by Mike Leach directing a trainer to move James to the darkest place to clean out the equipment and to make sure that he could not sit or lean.

NFL Playoff Scenario

Monday, December 28, 2009 by Anne
The NFL playoff scenarios look extremely complicated right now. However, the current NFL playoff setting isn't so bad, as long as certain teams win to start 2010. Despite five 8-7 teams fighting for two wild card spots, two of them control their destiny. If the Jets and Ravens both win next week, there will be no more need for crazy tiebreakers and math. But if they lost, the NFL playoff scenario that unfolds could be very hard to figure out - though fortunately, that's the only complicated one.


Aside from the AFC wild card mess, the rest of the NFL playoff scenarios for 2010 look pretty easy, especially in the NFC. All six playoff teams in the NFC are set, but the seeding order still needs to be settled. The Vikings can't clinch a bye tonight against the Bears, but they can avoid slipping behind the Eagles with a win.

Champlain Bridge

by Anne
Controlled explosions have brought down the Lake Champlain Bridge between New York and Vermont.

Snow fell and a small group of onlookers watched as the 2,184-foot-long span between Crown Point, N.Y., and Addison, Vt., was dropped into the water and ice at the narrow south end of the lake Monday morning.



There was a sharp concussion followed by billowing smoke as steel and concrete fell.

Redskins Cowboys

by Anne
LaRon Landry does an excellent job taking on blocks near the line of scrimmage. He’s done that in other games vs. bigger players so shedding the fullback wasn’t a big deal. But it was impressive how he did that, then ignored the stiff arm of Felix Jones and tackled him for a 2-yard gain. Nice play. It’s what he does best.

Dallas seems like it will send extra rushers whenever it thinks Washington will keep in only five blockers. Again, just like the Giants last week. And just like last week it worked on the third and 6; Campbell had to unload a hurried pass.


Will Montgomery is in for Mike Williams (out with a toe injury). Gave up the tackle on the third-down draw to Rock Cartwright; again, the Redskins can’t sustain blocks vs. Dallas’ front seven. It’s, um, a problem.

Hoss Fly

Saturday, December 26, 2009 by Anne
Hoss fly bar stool sounds like a coveted seat at the local watering hole. After a couple of days of holiday egg nog, I thought I was reading incorrectly when I saw a Hoss fly bar stool. I had to find out...what exactly is a Hoss fly bar stool?

A Hoss fly bar stool is also a motorized racer. I'm thinking of myself flying along on a Hoss fly bar stool after a few glasses of wine...or even worse, rum and coke. I don't think I would hold my cookies for very long!

The Hoss fly bar stool is amazing. I checked out the Hoss Fly website and you've got to check it out, too. Now you can put a small block Chevy V8 motor on a four wheel cart to create the kick-butt Hoss fly bar stool! What do you think if this as a belated Christmas present for New Year's Eve partying?

Bad Gift Emporium

by Anne
Bad Gift Emporium: When I was still with my husband, the traditional yearly gift from my mother in law were sets of towels embroidered with both our names. Last Christmas, the first one after he and I split up, she gave me ONE, solitary towel embroidered, “Laurel.” Way to rub it in, eh?

Now that’s a pretty sad gift, but if you’re unlucky to receive a truly bad gift, just visit



People upload photos of bad gifts in the hope that some visitor will see it and want to take it off their hands. Of course, some people have to keep their bad gifts(probably because they live with the bad gift-giver) so those people just share photos of the bad gifts they’ll be enduring for a good long while.

Happy Holidays Everyone

Thursday, December 24, 2009 by Anne


I have always thought of Christmas time, when it has come round, as a good time; a kind, forgiving, charitable time; the only time I know of, in the long calendar of the year, when men and women seem by one consent to open their shut-up hearts freely, and to think of people below them as if they really were fellow passengers to the grave, and not another race of creatures bound on other journeys.

Balloon Boy Hoax

Wednesday, December 23, 2009 by Anne
Larimer County Judge Stephen Shapanski ordered Richard Heene to serve 90 days in jail, including 60 days on work release. The sentence means Heene will serve 30 days in jail, before qualifying to leave his cell during the day to work as a construction contractor. He'll remain in jail at night. Mayumi Heene was ordered to spend 20 days in the Larimer County Workender Program, which would allow her to serve her sentence during the day and spend the nights at home with the couple's three children: Falcon, 6; Ryo, 8; and Bradford, 10.

Spokeswoman for the Larimer County District Attorney's office, Linda Jensen, said the program may not involve spending time in a cell. "It just depends on what they decide when she applies for the program."

Portland Trail Blazers: Joel Przybilla Injury

by Anne
Joel Przybilla, thrust into Portland's starting lineup earlier this month after Greg Oden was lost for the year with a fractured kneecap, landed awkwardly while going for a rebound in the first quarter of Tuesday's game against the Mavericks.



Simply looking at his misshapen kneecap as he writhed in pain suggested a serious injury, not long after he was helped off the court and examined by doctors, the team confirmed he suffered a ruptured right patella tendon and dislocated patella. He's "sidelined indefinitely," which is merely a polite way of saying he's almost certainly done for the year. (Kevin Pelton and Will Carroll of Basketball Prospectus discuss the severity of the injury and how it compares unfavorably to Oden's injury.)

Blackberry Outage December 22

by Anne
The blogs and news sites are reporting a nationwide Blackberry outage. While I have a Blackberry and haven't experienced a phone or text message outage, I have had an email update delay of several hours to this point in time.

This has to be related to several developments:

Marshall will remain free for at least the next month as his defense lawyers try to persuade an appeals court to let Marshall remain free on bail while his planned appeal plays out. The judge noted Marshall's World War II service and the possibility that the late Astor herself would have been aghast to see her son imprisoned, but he added that the law left him no choice but to impose a prison term.

Few points of interest of Brian Kelly's press conference:

One: He's Not Saying Anything About Coaches Yet. Includes keeping anyone from the current staff or taking anyone with him from Cincinnati.
Two: He's Never Been To A Game In The Fall There: He does have a good excuse, though, since he is a head football coach for 19 years, has been kind of busy the whole time.
Three: He Didn't Want To Talk About Cincy. "Transition is very difficult, and those situations are extremely emotional." Leaving a job is awkward no matter how it happens, especially when you're dealing with something as touchy as contract negotiations for million dollars.
Four: His Daughter's Name Is Grace.
Five: He Did Guarantee One Win. The spring game, which Kelly gamely promised a victory in for the reporters.
