Bomb Sniffing Dogs Not Tested Properly…What?
Saturday, October 9th, 2010WASHINGTON – (AP/Fox News) The State Department’s inspector general said Friday that bomb-sniffing dogs in Afghanistan and Iraq aren’t being tested properly and may not be able to effectively detect explosives. The inspector general’s review found that the companies hired to supply and train the animals weren’t testing them for all of the scents of the most commonly encountered explosives, increasing the chance of a dog missing a bomb in a vehicle or luggage. That puts U.S. diplomats at risk, the inspector general said…more…

Michael Vick – Top Dog with another set of wings again?
Wednesday, September 29th, 2010First he was a Falcon fighting dogs, now he is an Eagle and back in the saddle again. Caught this great article by Jelisa Castrodale at NBC sports…Two years ago, the thought of seeing Michael Vick scrambling around a football field again — evading defenders and leaving would-be tacklers with their arms around his shadow — seemed highly unlikely, if not flat-out impossible. You know why. Everyone knows why, even those who never watched his record-setting seasons at Virginia Tech, the ones who had no idea he’d been the NFL’s number one overall draft pick, or paid attention when he spent a pair of Februarys playing in the Pro Bowl…more…
