1. Trace-Safe – An alternative to body scans:
They’re in use in at least 19 airports in the US, but most people balk at the idea of a full body scan which essentially strips a passenger naked using radiation technology. Dangerous for the psyche and also for the frequent traveler who is exposed to numerous doses of radiation, an Israeli company working with a US partner could have the solution.
Trace-Safe from Israel and Raptor from the US have co-developed a chemical process, called TraceGuard, which can free particles from fabric and luggage for speedy detection and analysis.
The technology detects harmful substances and not benign ones like perfume or pharmaceuticals. It doesn’t show false alarms, doesn’t need filters or a cleaning. “You only want to detect the substances that you can make explosives or biological agents out of,” says Sela.
It can be integrated into scanners and magnetometers and also into a wand that can be passed over both people and luggage.

They do a perfectly good job of it themselves:

In an almost perfect parody of themselves, the warmists are seriously telling us that colder winters could be a sign of global warming. This is just as well because the Scots are being warned that this winter could be worse than last year’s record-breaking cold snap.

Maria and Dieter Rauscher came to Canada from Germany as immigrants. In 1978, Dieter transferred into a management position with Lake Erie Steel (now U.S. Steel Canada) at Nanticoke, a short trip south of Caledonia. The couple moved to a rambling old farmhouse on a small acreage on the Sixth Line, east of Six Nations.

… and then all hell broke loose.

Given that we live in a kinder gentler age, I suggest we come up with some sort of program whereby wealthier provinces hand over money to the poorer less fortunate … no … wait!

In a report bluntly titled, “Quebec’s Fiscal Situation: The Alarm Bells have Sounded,” the board paints a gloomy picture of a greying society, where health care consumes more and more tax dollars while revenues fail to keep pace. It calculates that revenue growth will average 4% over the next 20 years, while overall government expenditures will increase on average by 5.1%. Health care spending, however, will grow by 5.9% over the same period; 20% of that increase will be due to the aging population. In real terms, health care spending will increase from $27 billion in 2009-2010 to $90.2 billion in 2030-31.

But the nub of the crisis is this: “We have decided to socialize the private losses of the banking system. Now you have a huge increase in public debt—going from 7 percent to 100 percent of GDP. Soon it will be 120 percent.”

A group of German tourists visiting Lake Louise recently encountered a mama grizzly and her two cubs:

The Germans were so excited about the sighting all they thought of was getting a photo, said defence lawyer Brian Pfefferle.

Well, that’s understan…

A woman inside her camper saw the group chasing the bears while waving their arms….

He comes from the great land in the west, bearing autographed photos of himself, an iPod loaded with his greatest speeches, and a re-drawn map of Israel:

DEBKAfile’s Washington sources disclose that the three-month settlement construction freeze-for-incentives deal Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu discussed with US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton Friday, Nov. 12, also included a commitment to hold Israel-Palestinian negotiations on the two states’ final borders during that period. Assuming the talks collapse, the Obama administration will take the initiative of delineating those borders and present its own map to both sides before the three months are up.

Our sources disclose that the boundaries the US map will adhere a lot more closely to Palestinian territorial aspirations than to (Israel’s) case…According to our Washington sources, Obama believes that leaving Israel with no more than 4-4.5 percent of the pre-1967 West Bank area should satisfy its essential security requirements…

Climate policy has almost nothing to do anymore with environmental protection, says the German economist and IPCC official Ottmar Edenhofer. The next world climate summit in Cancun is actually an economy summit during which the distribution of the world’s resources will be negotiated.

950:

The two-year paralysis that so utterly enfeebled Canada in the matter of this country’s post-2011 re-dedication to Afghanistan is now officially over. Ottawa has come out of its coma, and now rejoins the company of the grown-ups in the 43-member International Security Assistance Force. With Tuesday’s announcement, we take our place once again as a leader in the international cause of a sovereign and democratic Afghan republic.
