| JOHN L. SMITH: Fattest City? Biased magazine didn't even count video ...
How dare Men's Fitness magazine dub Las Vegas America's Fattest City. I'm so angry I nearly spilled my gravy shake. Clearly the magazine doesn't understand that physical fitness has a whole other meaning here. The Las Vegas lifestyle is not conducive to traditional calisthenics. People have been known to spill a lot of beer doing jumping jacks. Around here, we improvise. Did the magazine, for example, take into account that a majority of Las Vegans never sleep, which means they live twice as hard as residents of other cities and, therefore, are double the girth? In Las Vegas, a large segment of the male population long ago gave up on "six-pack abs" and moved on to the more challenging "24-pack abs." It takes great dedication to reach such widths.
Sex lessons must start at age five
Let's get back to basics where parents took responsibility for the upbringing of their children in areas of sex education, morality, respectability etc. rather than living their own selfish lives. Where are the parents while their children/teenagers are getting into trouble during the early hours and some, sadly, being injured or worse? Until parents act as parents, we'll continue to have the wrong answers with well-intentioned, but godless, idiots wasting their time and our money by trying to make a world safe without the God-given answer of parent responsibility and basic Christian living. .

Shooting puts Katy Trail runners, walkers on alert
Runners and walkers were on guard Monday, a day after an armed robbery and shooting at an apartment complex near the Katy Trail, but said they were not deterred from their exercise routines. "I feel safe," Jim Smeeding said Monday as he walked, accompanied by his giant schnauzer, Zeus. "He's a fairly intimidating presence." Reports of crime on or near the trail are worrisome, Mr. Smeeding said, but he and his wife have felt safe enough to walk from their home on Blackburn Avenue to the American Airlines Center for a Mavericks game. .
Rush Gives Up?
I'm declaring Fallows-style victory (which is not necessarily the same thing as having won). ... 10:51 P.M Maybe Jeff Jarvis is Right: I've resisted kicking Dell when it's down--I've been a relatively happy Dell customer for several years. But recently, as the viruses and spyware seemed to be winning, I've had problems with both my machines. So I phoned up Dell On Call, which offers software support that's not covered under warranty (i.e., it's support you have to pay for). The first person you get when you call the number is not an actual software technician, but rather the guy who signs you up for a plan. He quoted me a price of $239 for a year. I asked if that would include a third Dell machine if I bought one. He checked and said yes. He also--and this is the key--led me to believe the $239 would cover all my problems on those machines for the year.

Science TSA Wants Your Feedback via Official Blog
Few will argue that security at air ports can be difficult and taxing during the best of times. All the added security became commonplace around the country since the terrorist attacks in 2001. In an attempt to give travelers a place to voice concerns and ask questions the TSA set up a blog to allow its employees to interact with air travelers. In one of the first posts TSA Administrator Kip Hawley explained the goal of the blog as: Our ambition is to provide here a forum for a lively, open discussion of TSA issues. While I and senior leadership of TSA will participate in the discussion, we are turning the keyboard over to several hosts who represent what's best about TSA (its people). Our hosts aren't responsible for TSA's policies, nor will they have to defend them -- their job is to engage with you straight-up and take it from there.
