August 30[edit]
The premiere of Late Show,[1] featuring actor/comedian Bill Murray and singer Billy Joel, attracts 23 million viewers.[2] Murray, who had been Letterman's first Late Night guest on NBC in 1982, spray-painted "Dave!" on the front of the host's desk.[2][3]
March 31[edit]
On March 31, 1994, pop star Madonna appeared on the Late Show. The official "Queen of Pop", who is known for controversy, infamously swore thirteen times throughout the interview and refused to leave at the end. Letterman, who asked her questions on various topics including her nose ring, music, and love life, was soon branded a "sick fuck", after he suggested Madonna kiss a member of the audience. Madonna went on to ask if Letterman was wearing a "rug", whether he wanted to smell a pair of underwear she brought on the show, or whether he thought the microphone was sexually big. In between this, Madonna often swore and referred to sexual themes including her vagina, saying: "Did you know it's good to pee in the shower?" Eventually, she swore so much that the producers went to commercials and showed comedic monologues of Madonna. Letterman has since stated, in USA Today: "I'm not pleased with the way I handled it. I should have said, 'You say that word one more time and you're gone. That's it. Adios.' And I didn't." Madonna appeared days later on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. Although she appeared briefly at the stroke of midnight on Valentine's Day, 1995 to present Letterman with a bouquet of roses, her return to the show as a guest was not until 2000, while promoting her album Music. During that interview, and other subsequent interviews on the show, Letterman joked that he still had the panties that she gave him.
During the September 1994 MTV Video Music Awards, Madonna was a presenter and was escorted onstage by Letterman who kissed her hand and stated, "I'll be in the car. Just... watch your language.", and walked off stage to applause.
May 13[edit]
During a week of shows taped in Los Angeles, Johnny Carson made a surprise appearance on the show after leaving The Tonight Show.[4] Carson maintained a friendship with the show for the years that followed, even secretly writing jokes for the monologue.[5] This rare surprise appearance was Carson's final major television appearance before his death,[4] and to many, his way of acknowledging Letterman as his successor (even if Jay Leno was doing his former show, at the time). Carson never appeared on Leno's version of Tonight.
December 2[edit]
Hello Deli owner Rupert Jee makes his first appearance, on a segment called "Fun With Rupert".[2]
April 12[edit]
After finding out it was Letterman's birthday,[2] Drew Barrymore gave him a "little impromptu birthday present": she "hopped up on his desk, did a sexy little dance, turned her back to the camera, and flashed her breasts".[6]
May 16[edit]
An entire show, with most crew and cast, was filmed and broadcast entirely from London, United Kingdom, featuring guests Pierce Brosnan, Jennifer Saunders, Joanna Lumley, and a musical performance by Elvis Costello. A segment featuring Zsa Zsa Gabor was also taped. In addition, sitting in with the CBS orchestra, was Little Richard and Chuck Berry.
September 20[edit]
In early September 1996, it was announced that Late Show would experiment with a commercial-free format. The September 20 broadcast of the show did not contain traditional commercials, although there were breaks (within the show) to acknowledge sponsors. Pearl Jam was the musical guest on this night.[7]
June 5[edit]
Farrah Fawcett visited the show for the first time promoting a Playboy Pay-Per-View special and appeared disoriented and incoherent.
NASCAR driver Dale Earnhardt does the Top Ten List after winning the Daytona 500.
February 23[edit]
Minnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura, a former professional wrestler who had assumed office on January 4, visits the show for the first time.[8]
December 31[edit]
Late Show broadcasts in prime time for the year 2000 New Year's Eve. Kevin James is the guest, with a performance by the Brooklyn Philharmonic and cameo appearances by Dick Clark and New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani.[2] (Under normal circumstances, Letterman does not broadcast a show on New Year's Eve, opting instead for a repeat.)
February 21[edit]
On January 14, Letterman announced on Late Show that he was undergoing an angiogram the following day, after doctors had recently been concerned about his high cholesterol and family history (his father died of a heart attack at 57). Soon it was discovered that he had blocked arteries and had to undergo a quintuple bypass. During his recovery, after a few weeks of rerun broadcasts, the show was hosted by guests for several weeks.[9] On his first show after recovering, Regis Philbin was his first guest;[10] Letterman brought out all the doctors and nurses on the show who had helped him during his surgery and recovery.[2] Despite nearly breaking out in tears during the show,[citation needed] Letterman seemed to find humor in his situation; while referring to one of his nurses, he said: "This woman saw me naked!" He continued to joke about the event for weeks after his return.
Additionally, Letterman invited the alternative rock band Foo Fighters as musical guest.[11] The band performed their 1997 single "Everlong" which Letterman personally requested,[11] and Letterman introduced them as "my favorite band, playing my favorite song."[12] During a later Foo Fighters appearance, Letterman said that Foo Fighters had been in the middle of a South American tour which they canceled to come play on his comeback episode.
September 17[edit]
On September 17, 2001, David Letterman was the first major American comedy performer to return to the television airwaves after the September 11 attacks. In his opening monologue, absent the usual musical opening credits and cheering audience, an uncharacteristically serious and very emotional Letterman struggled with the reality of the attacks and the role of comedy in a post-9/11 world, saying:
|The reason we were attacked, the reason these people are dead, these people are missing and dead … They weren't doing anything wrong, they were living their lives, they were going to work, they were traveling, they were doing what they normally do. Uh, as I understand it—and my understanding of this is vague, at best—another smaller group of people stole some airplanes and crashed them into buildings. And we're told that they were zealots fueled by religious fervor, religious fervor. And if you live to be a thousand years old, will that make any sense to you? Will that make any goddamned sense?[13]
Letterman went on to praise Mayor Rudy Giuliani and the NYPD/FDNY in the monologue and ended the segment by saying "If you didn't believe it before, you can absolutely believe it now. New York City is the greatest city in the world." From that point on, Alan Kaltar's opening narration at the very top of the show, which up until then poked fun at the city, introduces New York as "The greatest city in the world!" However, beginning in January 2013, Kaltar's opening was changed to "From New York! Broadcasting across the nation and around the world!" and in early 2015, once again began to feature bizarre openings, minus the derogatory remarks about New York. Moreover, the opening shot of the credits, which at that time was a view of Battery Park and the World Trade Center, was changed to a dynamic helicopter view of the Statue of Liberty (used ever since) and an aerial shot of the Empire State Building.[citation needed]
His first guest that night was then-CBS Evening News anchor Dan Rather, who broke down twice in tears.[14] Letterman's longtime friend and colleague Regis Philbin later joined Letterman to help lighten up the somber mood.
Time magazine named Letterman's return to the air after the attacks the Best TV Moment of 2001.[13] Entertainment Weekly put it on its end-of-the-decade, "best-of" list, saying, "He's snarky. He's snide. But when a solemn Letterman returned to the air Sept. 17, 2001 (his was the first late-night comedy show to air after the attacks), his off-the-cuff monologue showed the shell-shocked audience it was okay to laugh…and to cry."[15]
October 30[edit]
The musician Warren Zevon was featured as the only guest for the entire hour. The episode concerned his recent terminal peritoneal mesothelioma diagnosis, a rare form of cancer caused from exposure to small asbestos fibers. The band played Zevon's classic song "I'll Sleep When I'm Dead" as his introduction. Zevon performed several songs and spoke at length about his illness. Zevon was a frequent guest and occasional substitute bandleader on Letterman's television shows since Late Night was first broadcast in 1982. (Letterman had also performed some backing vocals on Zevon's "Hit Somebody (The Hockey Song)", with Paul Shaffer on organ.) Zevon noted, "I may have made a tactical error in not going to a physician for 20 years." It was during this broadcast that, when asked by Letterman if he knew something more about life and death now, he first offered his oft-quoted insight on dying: "Enjoy every sandwich". He also took time to thank Letterman for his years of help, calling him "the best friend my music's ever had". For his final song of the evening, and his final public performance, Zevon performed "Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner" at Letterman's request. In the green room after the show, Zevon presented Letterman with the guitar that he always used on the show, with a single request: "Here, I want you to have this. Take good care of it."[16] Zevon died less than a year later, shortly after the release of his album The Wind.
November 4[edit]
Letterman announces that "last night at 11:58, I became a father." The previous night, Letterman's long-time partner, Regina Lasko, gave birth to his son, Harry.[2]
March 17[edit]
Singer Courtney Love flashed Letterman while standing on his desk, her bare back to the audience.[17]
March 29[edit]
Singer Janet Jackson made her first network television interview following the Super Bowl XXXVIII halftime show controversy.[18]
May 14[edit]
Letterman decided to tape the episode for May 14, 2004 at 4 a.m. EST that morning with a full studio audience. The guests for the show included rat expert Robert Sullivan, humorist Amy Sedaris and the indie rock band Modest Mouse. Highlights included Late Show staff member Bob Borden oversleeping, looking for rats with Robert Sullivan on West 53rd Street, Biff spending the night with the NYPD and Amy Sedaris giving a tour of her neighborhood at 4 in the morning. There was also a special version of the show's intro showing a montage of Late Show staffers sleeping on their desks and at their workstations, Letterman riding to the Ed Sullivan Theater on a horse and a video of Hillary Clinton introducing the show.
January 31[edit]
Letterman's first show after long-time friend and mentor Johnny Carson had died. The show had been on a one-week hiatus since his death. As a tribute, Letterman's opening monologue included jokes written by Carson (news reports in the weeks leading to Carson's death revealed that he had been regularly writing and sending Letterman some jokes) as well as clips shown from The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson. Other tributes to Carson in this episode included the band playing "Johnny's Theme" at the conclusion of Letterman's monologue, and use of title cards with the phrase, "More to Come" around commercial breaks (a standard feature of The Tonight Show during most of Carson's years there that has continued under Jay Leno's and Conan O'Brien's tenure). While describing how he felt about the news, Letterman stated:
|There are so many things you miss about Johnny Carson... I was nearly this sad when the guy retired... Johnny Carson was like a public utility. At the end of the day, that's who you wanted to be there. The way that you know that Johnny was such a tremendous part of your life was when there was a guest host. You would be waiting all day to see Johnny and you'd tune in and there would be a guest host. And it would make you angry. And you'd be steaming mad, [though] not at Johnny, you would always take out your anger on the guest host.
That night The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson executive producer Peter Lassally was the guest on the show as well as NBC Orchestra leader Doc Severinsen performed.
December 1[edit]
In what Dave jokingly referred to as the "Super Bowl of Love," Oprah Winfrey made her first appearance on Late Show—and her first on any Letterman show in over 16 years.[19] At the end of her appearance, Letterman escorted her on-air across 53rd Street to the opening of The Color Purple, the new Broadway show she was there to promote.[20]
The episode, the fourth-most-watched in Late Show history, was followed 14 months later by a Super Bowl XLI Late Show promotion that featured her with Letterman, each wearing the jersey of the Super Bowl team from the city with which they are associated.[19][21] In 2010, a Super Bowl commercial aired featuring Letterman, Oprah, and Jay Leno aired. As before, the trio sat on a sofa, watching the game.
January 2[edit]
During the 2007-08 Writers Guild of America strike, the show went into reruns for two months. In late December 2007, Letterman's company, Worldwide Pants Incorporated, reached a contract agreement with the striking writers. This put Letterman and The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson back on the air with their full staff of writers. The show opened with Hillary Clinton making a cameo appearance saying, "It has been two long months but Dave's back. Oh, well, all good things must come to an end."
Letterman returned sporting a full beard; Robin Williams was the first guest for the show's return— Letterman displayed a photograph of Williams on the picket line with Eric Stangel and Justin Stangel, two of the show's writers.[22]
September 24[edit]
During the 2008 presidential election, Republican candidate John McCain was scheduled to appear as the first guest on Letterman's show, the first appearance since McCain informally announced his candidacy on the show months earlier. According to Letterman, McCain called him personally to inform Letterman that he would not be appearing on the show that day, but was on his way back to Washington, DC to help draft a proposed bailout of the financial system to soften effects of the Financial crisis of 2007–2008. MSNBC show host Keith Olbermann (a longtime critic of McCain) became the replacement guest for the night.
Throughout the show, and especially during the monologue, Letterman made various jokes about the situation. During Olbermann's interview, Letterman cut to a live internal feed of that night's CBS Evening News with Katie Couric, when Couric was taping an interview with McCain during the same time of Letterman's show. When it became apparent to Letterman that McCain was not on his way back to Washington as he said he was, Letterman became visibly irritated. Although he knew McCain could not hear him, Letterman publicly said to McCain, "Hey John, I got a question, do you need a ride to the airport?"[23] McCain spokeswoman Nicolle Wallace later stated McCain canceled his appearance on Letterman because it "wasn't a night for comedy".
The episode also seemed to have an effect on internal CBS operations: both the Late Show and the CBS Evening News are aired on the network. According to the New York Post, unidentified CBS News executives were reportedly "aggravated" about the use of the feed. Also according to the report, CBS had no knowledge of the use of the feed until the finished Late Show episode was being fed internally for distribution [24]
October 16[edit]
After canceling his September 24 appearance at the last minute, John McCain appeared on October 16. The episode attracted over 6.5 million viewers, three million more than his recent typical number of viewers and the best he has scored since Oprah Winfrey was a guest on Dec. 1, 2005.[25]
January 30[edit]
Late Show aired the October 1, 1993 stand-up performance from comedian Bill Hicks, which Letterman chose to cut from the original broadcast as too controversial.[26] Hicks' routine covered homosexuality, abortion, as well as his wish to murder then-popular musicians Billy Ray Cyrus, Michael Bolton, Vanilla Ice, MC Hammer and Marky Mark. To help introduce the segment, Letterman invited Bill Hicks' mother, Mary, to be a guest on the show. Letterman apologized to Mrs. Hicks for having put her son and their family through the ordeal, especially as it was so soon before Hicks' untimely death from pancreatic cancer. Letterman declared he didn't know what he had been thinking when he pulled the routine from the original show and said, "It says more about me as a guy than it says about Bill because there was absolutely nothing wrong with it."
February 11[edit]
Late Show features an unusual interview with Joaquin Phoenix, there to promote Two Lovers. Phoenix was "sporting his Grizzly Adams beard, a black suit and dark Miami Beach grandma sunglasses" and "nervously chewed gum during the entire sitdown, often looking down as if asleep. He answered Letterman's queries with one or two befuddled words and acted surprised when the audience and host laughed at his apparent cluelessness."[27] Daniel Kreps of Rolling Stone described Phoenix's appearance as "either Phoenix completely locked into his hoax character (the Bearded Rapper) or the most paranoid, drugged-out interview ever"; Kreps favored the hoax theory, noting that Phoenix repeatedly broke out of character, appeared to end the interview acknowledging Letterman for playing along, and noting that Casey Affleck, director of a documentary about "Phoenix's hip-hop dream, was reportedly at the CBS studios yesterday, no doubt filming this landmark interview."[28] Letterman humorously closed the interview with the line, "Joaquin, I'm sorry you couldn't be here tonight."[6]
Entertainment Weekly pointed out that the interview was similar to one he did in October 2000 when he was there to promote his film The Yards.[29] Back in 2000, executive producer Maria Pope commented on Phoenix's behavior: "The first couple of times we thought there was a gas leak in the greenroom. Now we've determined, no, that's just Joaquin." On the February 19, 2009 episode of The Late Show, Letterman told guest Barbara Walters that he believed Phoenix's performance was "a goof" but he "sure can take a punch".
Someone claiming to have attended the taping posted on IMDB's message board, saying the appearance was performance art and Joaquin was not in his rapper persona during off-air breaks. According to the post, during breaks Letterman and his staff worked to quickly come up with new material before going on-air. After taping the interview, Joaquin thanked the audience and waved.[30]
March 2–6[edit]
Irish rock group U2 appeared as the musical guest on all five episodes for the week. This was the first time in the show's history that a single act has ever appeared on five consecutive nights. The band's appearance on the show, billed as "U2 Week," was in support of their latest album, No Line on the Horizon, which was released on Tuesday, March 3. The band started the week by performing "Breathe," which was followed by "Magnificent" on the second night, "I'll Go Crazy If I Don't Go Crazy Tonight" on the third night, "Beautiful Day" on the fourth night, and "Get On Your Boots" for the final night. The band also contributed Top Ten lists and sat down for an interview during the week.
June 9–10, 16[edit]
Letterman received criticism for jokes on the June 9 show about Alaska governor Sarah Palin and one of her daughters, in which Letterman joked, "One awkward moment for Sarah Palin at the Yankee game, during the seventh inning, her daughter was knocked up by Alex Rodriguez."[31] Following controversy, Letterman addressed the situation on June 10 and 16, accepting full responsibility and apologizing directly to the Palin family. Palin issued a statement in which she accepted Letterman's apology while calling on such comedy to "evolve".[32] Palin's spokeswoman later credited this incident as one of the reasons behind Palin's resignation as Alaska's Governor. Letterman's ratings were boosted in the weeks following the episode.
July 15[edit]
Paul McCartney returned to the Ed Sullivan Theater 45 years after The Beatles made their U.S. television debut there on The Ed Sullivan Show. McCartney was interviewed by Letterman, then moved outside to do a concert from the theater's marquee for a crowd of about 4000 people.[33] The episode attracted 4.4 million viewers,[33] about six percent of the 73.3 million that McCartney and the rest of the Beatles attracted in 1964[34] but 75% more than the 2.5 million watching The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien that same evening.[33] Earlier that day, The Late Show received five Emmy nominations.[33]
September 21[edit]
President Barack Obama appeared on the Late Show, marking the first time that a sitting President of the United States appeared on the show,[35] and only the second time a sitting president appeared on a late night talk show. In coming to the show, Obama had primarily proposed to defend and effectively communicate the widely disputed health care reform proposal in a light-hearted setting. He also discussed other topics of interest such as the Iraq war and objectives in Afghanistan. Obama had visited The Tonight Show with Jay Leno on March 19, 2009.[36][37]
This show also helped lead the Late Show with David Letterman to record ratings and big wins over rivals The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien and Nightline.[38]
September 24[edit]
After Letterman finished his monologue, he announced that this was his 5000th episode on late night television. Letterman expressed how he couldn't be happier with his work and life.[citation needed]
October 1[edit]
After his opening monologue, Letterman revealed to the audience[39] that he was the victim of an extortion attempt and had to give grand jury testimony for a sting operation. The blackmailer had threatened to write a book and screenplay detailing sexual affairs the talk show host had with female members of his staff and college student interns, who worked on The Late Show for college credit and to obtain high-profile work experience in the broadcasting industry. Letterman gave few details, except to say that he cooperated with police, wrote a "fake check" for $2 million, and that the blackmailer was apprehended.[40] According to The New York Times, this segment was not transmitted via closed circuit inside the CBS headquarters, where employees usually are able to watch the Letterman show live.[41] The revelation of the extortion plot was national news ahead of the show airing, leading to a 22% surge in ratings.[42][43]
August 31[edit]
Actor Michael Douglas, appearing on the Late Show to promote Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps, was interviewed by Letterman in what was the actor's first interview since Douglas went public with the fact that he has throat cancer. Douglas said he had already started treatment and doctors had given him 80% chance of a full recovery.[44][45]
August 22[edit]
A few days after a posting on the Shumukh al-Islam web forum that called for his assassination,[46] Letterman opened his monologue with a joke referencing the threat:[47]
- "Tonight, you people are ... more than an audience. You're more like a human shield."
That evening, his Top Ten list, "Top 10 thoughts that went through my mind after hearing about the threat," included "Someone wants to silence me? Get in line," "This seems like Leno's handiwork" and "Oh my God! They canceled the George Lopez Show."[47] In spite of the jokes, it had been made public a few days earlier that the threat had resulted in the tightening of security at the Ed Sullivan Theater.[48]
December 19[edit]
Letterman announced the death of long-time makeup artist Michele O'Callaghan,[49] whom he had worked with since 1991. The episode featured a speech by Dave followed by a montage of O'Callaghans onscreen appearances.
February 1[edit]
Letterman celebrated his 30th anniversary on late night television with guest Howard Stern. The Top Ten List, Things Staffers Would Like to say to Dave on his 30th Anniversary in Late Night, was presented by staff members who had been with Letterman since his time at NBC.
May 17[edit]
After 13 years, late-night talk show host Conan O'Brien appeared on the Late Show.
October 29[edit]
With Hurricane Sandy battering New York City, the audience for that evening's taping is sent home and Letterman hosts the show in an empty Ed Sullivan Theater with actor Denzel Washington as his guest.[50]
April 3[edit]
Letterman announces his retirement, after 22 years of hosting. Then, on April 10, a week after Letterman announces his retirement, CBS president Leslie Moonves announces that The Colbert Report host Stephen Colbert was announced as Letterman's replacement.
April 22[edit]
Stephen Colbert makes his first appearance on the Late Show since being unveiled as Letterman's successor.
August 18[edit]
In his first new show since the death of Robin Williams, Letterman paid tribute to the comedian, whom he had known dating back to their days at The Comedy Store in Los Angeles. "I had no idea that the man was in pain, that the man was suffering," Letterman said of Williams, who committed suicide. A montage of clips aired featuring Williams' multiple appearances on The Late Show, as well as an episode of Mork & Mindy in which Letterman was a guest star.[51] The tribute was the week's most watched late night talk show video, receiving over 3.3 million views online.[52]
May 20[edit]
In a show that ran 17 minutes past the regular 60-minute length, Letterman hosted his 6,028th and final show as a late night host. Played more for laughs than for tears (Letterman remained dry-eyed throughout), the show featured the following:[53][54]
- A cold open that began with Gerald Ford's famous quote at his 1974 presidential inauguration, "Our long national nightmare is over." In pre-taped appearances, surviving Presidents George H. W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush repeated the line, as did current President Barack Obama, who added "Letterman is retiring!" Letterman sidled up to Obama afterwards and quipped, "You're just kidding, right?"
- Lettterman's monologue was generally self-deprecating in nature, with quips about his career ("I'll be honest with you, it's beginning to look like I'm not going to get The Tonight Show!") and taped segments featuring The Simpsons and Wheel of Fortune, whose puzzle was "Good riddance to David Letterman." (Wheel of Fortune host Pat Sajak is the former host of The Pat Sajak Show, CBS's attempt at launching a late night talk show prior to Letterman's arrival.)
- In a brief aside at his desk, Letterman gave good wishes to his successor, Stephen Colbert, whose version of The Late Show premiered September 8, 2015. "I'm very excited," Letterman said of Colbert, adding "I think he's going to do a wonderful job, and I wish Stephen and his staff and crew nothing but the greatest success, so look forward to that."
- In lieu of scheduled guests, retrospective packages were featured, including a collage of segments with child guests and a replay of a June 1996 visit that featured Letterman manning a Taco Bell drive-thru. Classic bits were also included in interstitials coming out of commercial breaks, mainly culled from Letterman's short-lived NBC daytime show that ran in 1980, as well as a July 1982 Late Night segment featuring Calvert DeForest, dressed as Santa Claus, reading Christmas stories to children.
- The last Late Show Top Ten List consisted of "Things I've Always Wanted to Say to Dave." Rather than being delivered by Letterman, ten frequent Late Night and Late Show guests from over the years did the honors, featuring in order, Alec Baldwin, Barbara Walters, Steve Martin, Jerry Seinfeld, Jim Carrey, Chris Rock, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Peyton Manning, Tina Fey, and Bill Murray (the penultimate show's guest), who read entry #1 ("Dave, I'll never have the money I owe you").[55]
- Just as with Johnny Carson's final Tonight Show 23 years earlier, a "day in the life" behind-the-scenes vignette was included, featuring Letterman and his staff putting together a show.
- In his closing remarks, Letterman gave thanks to former CBS chairman Howard Stringer and current president Leslie Moonves; Paul Schaffer and the CBS Orchestra, each member of which Letterman identified by name; the writers, producers, researchers, and crew of Late Show ("It's so obvious every night and again tonight that they were so much better at their jobs than I am at my job"); his wife, Regina, and son, Harry, whom were seated in the audience ("I love you both, and really, nothing else matters, does it?"); and the audience who watched him over the years. As he threw it to Foo Fighters, Letterman closed by saying, "That's pretty much all I've got; the only thing I have left to do... for the last time on a television program, thank you and good night."
- Clad in tuxedos, Foo Fighters performed a reprisal of their 1997 song, "Everlong," a favorite of Letterman's, who cited it as having helped him through his recovery from heart surgery in 2000; when he returned to Late Show after his recuperation, Foo Fighters cancelled a South American tour and came back to New York to perform the song on the program. As the band performed the song in the finale, a quick-cut montage of moments from both Late Show and Late Night appeared on screen.
- After Foo Fighters finished, the CBS Orchestra was heard performing Late Show's theme one last time, accompanied by a credits list of the show's staff and their images and ending with a home movie shot of Letterman's son, Harry, skiing.

Decided to go out to have fun. Your friends / family members and you are going to a place for some kind of fun entertainment. You scanned for 30.06 or 51% see nothing. As you entered a building, you see people going through metal detector. Once you go through, its went off. Someone (a manager or security) asked you to empty your pockets and you did. Go through metal detector again, stilll went off. Used Wand detector and it beeps where your firearm is at. Asked you what's in there. What would you do ? Whats properly way to say or do ?
See metal detector, go to different place or put weapon in vehicle.
I'll spend my money elsewhere if at all possible.
Just tell them the truth, that it is a lawfully carried weapon. There is only 2 things they can do, either admit you, or return your money (if already paid) and turn you away.
If there are no signs, perhaps just show CWP to security? Most here won't like this, I'm not going to do this, but if you are intent on going there (and it's legal) tell them when they ask. Or ask to speak to security manager privately, perhaps it's ok to go in with CCW, but they want to know about it. Ask to speak to security manager BEFORE you go through the metal detector. They will let you know wheather it's ok there or not.
Just an idea

Well, a metal detector is a pretty good clue that they are trying to prevent weapons on the property. Sorry if this sounds sarcastic but,

I do vehicle evaluations every so often and there they have a strict policy of "no recording or communication equipment of any sorts". Guess what that means? A wand..... So what do I do? I tell the guy quietly that it will beep at my right side, I give him a short explanation that I'm have it legally and if need be, show him the proof. Never had an issue.
More and more people are turning pro gun.I would ask to speak to the manager.
I would speak to security before going through. Explain I had a license and am carrying a legal weapon. If they want to refuse me then I'll tell 'em I've gone through background checks and am 100% legal to carry, and that I'd make sure I spread the word that legally armed people are refused at their business.

I am real curious as to why the two attempts to go through the metal detector in the first place? Did you really think you would make it through either time?
I would take everything metal out of my pockets and my gun out of it's holster and plop it all down in the little tray and go through the detector, then retrieve my metal stuff, put my gun back in the holster and be on my way...
Just kidding! Talk to security before even going through it the first time, you know you aren't going to make it.

The Carnahan Elementary Eco-Friends hosted the Acorn Project, an annual planting of seedling trees as a community-outreach service-project, on September 22, 2012. Neighborhood family and friends participated in a tree planting project using only native trees, grown by students, from the seeds of local forest giants. Participants learned the basics in tree planting and were welcomed to adopt extra trees following the event. The planting area is just north of Earl Scott Pond near the Buddy Calk Trailhead in the Leon Creek Greenway near the Babcock Road bridge over Leon Creek. The planting site that was selected for a joint study by the City of San Antonio Parks and Recreation Department's City Forester, Texas Master Naturalist Michael Nentwich, and students of Peggy Carnahan Elementary School. The group's moto: We are not just planting trees; we are developing tree-planters.
Funding for the equipment used is provided by a Northside Education Foundation Innovation Grant. Expert volunteer support was provided by members of San Antonio's Alamo Area chapter of the Texas Master Naturalist (AAMN) organization.

Looks as though the team over at MacRabbit has done it again. Brilliant app that takes a lot of headache out of exporting multiple images from Photoshop. That brilliant app is called Slicy! And if you haven't experienced the polished apps of MacRabbit yet head over to my earlier review of Espresso IDE.
I just tossed together a Photoshop DOC of a few dozen product shots and named them in a folder a piece with a watermark, then saved the PSD and dropped it on Slicy and voila, done! This can save you the repeated steps of "Save for Web/Devices" hiding and unhiding layers and so forth.
Another nice bit is that the app is smart enough to export based on the layers viewable portions, especially handy with transparent PNG and the likes. So you really don't need to change the way you use Photoshop to design. It would be neat to see some integration with other types, like layers PNG's from Fireworks or Pixelmator files in the future, maybe if this app takes off really well they'll plan that sort of expansion for future releases?
Update!, Now Slicy has added easy Retina Graphics exporting, thus relieving the current headaches of developing for the new iPad and updated MacBooks! If you still haven't tried out Slicy you should head over to their page and Download the trial (or better yet, BUY!).

For Throwback Thursday on Twitter yesterday, Beyoncé's little sister shared a photo of Bey's former group Destiny's Child which was snapped way back in 2000 (which is 14 years ago, if you can believe it). As you can see below, the photo is amazing in its hilarity of horrid fashion and styling. I mean, there are so many things wrong with this photo, it's impossible to count them all. The ladies of Destiny's Child — Beyoncé, Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams — look like disco refugees from the 70s. Solange? Well, she looks pretty terrible in her own right. Check out the photo below and see the horrendousness for yourselves.
Speaking of which, why didn't no body put the baby oil on MY abs? Oh the year 2000.
Whaaaa? Did we really dress like this back in 2000? YES. I mean, I may not have worn this kind of thing but I seem to recall owning a pair of phat pants around the time that this photo was taken. Solange lookin' like one of Austin Powers's girlfriends, I love it! I also love her for not only sharing this photo with the world but for not cutting anyone out of the photo (like her sister Beyoncé is wont to do from time to time). Shoutout to Lil' Bow Wow for randomly being in the photo. This throwback is the perfect portrait of life back in 2000. Amazing, right?

Judith Godrèche (born 23 March 1972) is a French actress and author. She has appeared in more than 30 films.
Early life[edit]
Godrèche was born in Paris, the daughter of a psychoanalyst and a child therapist. Her paternal grandparents were Jewish survivors of the Holocaust, from Poland and Russia, who changed their name from "Goldreich".[1] Godrèche left school at age fourteen, settling into a long-term relationship with older director Benoît Jacquot.
Godrèche's early work included commercial modeling for a Japanese chocolate maker, as well as a teen magazine. Her first film appearance was as Claudia Cardinale's daughter in L'été prochain. At fourteen, she obtained her first major role, in Jacquot's Les Mendiants, with Dominique Sanda.
In 1989, Godrèche starred in Jacques Doillon's La Fille de 15 ans with Melvil Poupaud, which brought her fame. The following year, she turned to a full-time career in film. In 1990 she was nominated for the César Award for Most Promising Actress for her performance in Jacquot's La Désenchantée.
In 1991, she was a member of the jury at the 41st Berlin International Film Festival.[2]
In 1994 her novel Point de côté was published in France by Broché Publishers to good reviews.
Godrèche was not well known to American audiences until Patrice Leconte's Ridicule was released in 1996. The film introduced her to Americans in the role of Mathilde de Bellegarde. In 1998 she starred with Leonardo DiCaprio and Jeremy Irons in The Man in the Iron Mask.
Godrèche was nominated for a 2002 César Award for Best Supporting Actress for her performance in the surprise European hit, L'Auberge espagnole
Her first record inspired from the film " toutes les filles pleurent" was released by Because music.
In 2012, she began playing the continuing character of Claudette Von Jurgens in season 3 of Royal Pains.[3]
Godrèche's performance as Charlotte in the film The Overnight has led to her being called a "breakout" star of 2015. She is also starring in an upcoming HBO comedy about a French actress who moves to Los Angeles.[4]
Personal life[edit]
Godrèche had a long-term relationship with Jacquot.[5] She later married Dany Boon, who is the father of her son Noé.[6]
Godrèche decided to convert to Judaism as an adult.[1]

Prometheus co-stars Charlize Theron and Michael Fassbender are featured on the cover and in the pages of the new issue of W magazine. As you can see below, the pair get awfully cozy together in their W mag photospread … but in an artfully, stylistic way. I'm not exactly sure why W has decided to release these photos now, so many weeks after the release of Prometheus but I suppose it doesn't matter. Any time is the right time to enjoy artsy photos of Charlize and Fassy gettin' sexy. Check out the pair's coverphoto and photospread photos below.
They play bitter rivals in Ridley Scott's highly-anticipated thriller Prometheus, which has hit cinemas to lukewarm reviews. But the chemistry is undeniable between Charlize Theron and Michael Fassbender in a steamy new editorial for W magazine. Wrapped in leather and lace, the co-stars are shown in a series of provocative poses in a sexy science-fiction-themed shoot. The co-stars cover the fashion glossy's August issue, photographed by Mario Sorrenti. Art directors seemed to tip their hat to Scott's latest release, setting the actors in an ominous lair lined with chain-link fences and industrial set design … Charlize – in an Agent Provocateur lace corset – is smouldering on the cover. Arms wrapped in opera-length LaCrasia gloves, she throws her arms back onto Fassbender, who grips her limbs in a series of dominating poses. The blonde South African beauty shows her slender figure in an eye-catching Dolce & Gabbana silk bodysuit and Dior lambskin skirt, while Fassbender wears little more than Diesel Black and Gold leather pants. In one shot, the actor dangles upside down from a fence, grabbing the actress' thigh as she clutches his belt. Clenching her face in his hands in another scene, the pair are dangerously close to locking lips, but neither seems to want to give in.
These two make a hot couple … then again, anyone paired up with Fassypants would also make a good couple as well ;) Altho these photos come far too late to do anything significant for the promotion of Prometheus, I'm glad we get to see them nonetheless. Unfortunately, Fassbender is wearing far too much clothing in these photos for my liking but considering how … generous … he's been with his nekkid body in his various films, well, I guess we can't always be so greedy :D

Mere appearance of hurting farmers keeps US beef war alive
By Alan Fong, The China Post Wednesday, February 15, 2012, 12:02 am TWN
Recent disputes on the Taiwan government's considerations of lifting its ban on U.S. beef products are supposedly about leanness-enhancing additives, ractopamine in particular. Yet the true focus of the issue for politicians on both Taiwan and the U.S. is probably more the enhancement of their approval ratings in the agricultural industry.
Beef products, after all, account for a meager 0.5 percent of the total annual U.S. imports to the nation. Delaying negotiations of the key Trade and Investment Framework Agreement (TIFA) between Taipei and Washington over the beef dispute is like tossing a major business contract because of ink expense disagreement.
In fact, Taiwan has been calling on the U.S. not to let the beef issue stand in the way of TIFA talks. The chance of that happening, however, is slim in a U.S. election year. Giving in to Taiwan on the beef issue after both Japan and Korea lifted their bans in recent years would be nothing less than political suicide for U.S. lawmakers in agriculture-intensive states.
The same goes to Taiwanese politicians, who cannot afford to look weak on the issue in front of the nation's livestock farmers. And it is not only the support of the cattle farming industry that is on the line, allowing the import of meat products containing ractopamine would also have a major impact on Taiwan's large population of pig farmers.
Both governments have reasons to resume talks on bilateral trade. A deal with the U.S. would substantially boost the Ma administration's argument that closer cross-strait ties improve Taiwan's international standing. For the White House, the deal will also draw Taiwan closer to the U.S. in the three-way dance between Taipei, Beijing and Washington.
What's obstructing both administrations is essentially not even the issue of hurting local farmers but the appearance of hurting local farmers. Both governments should work hard to find a way for their politicians to save face and to convince local farmers of the benefits in a deal.
For example, Taiwan can make the argument to the U.S. that allowing ractopamine can actually hurt U.S. beef imports. With its name already tainted, ractopamine-containing U.S. beef can be a turn-off for Taiwanese consumers. A ban on the additives, in some way, can actually be a seal of confidence of U.S. beef for Taiwanese people, who are famously willing to spend on good food. A survey last year ranked Taiwan fourth after Japan, Singapore and Hong Kong in Asia for the amount of money locals spend eating out. Foodie writing has long been one of Taiwan's most popular types of websites. Instead of importing ractopamine beef products only to be ignored by consumers, Taiwan can argue, it is actually of U.S. cattle suppliers' interest to use Taiwan's ractopamine zero-tolerance as a guarantee of the quality of U.S. beef.

Being a good consumer in a time of constant change can sometimes be difficult. The two-way radio market is no exception. Portables, mobiles, repeaters, or vehicular repeaters, or Icom, Kenwood, Motorola , or Bendix King , pl's, p25, digital..etc, etc. The list of choices and options could pretty much go on and on, and with so many options it can be difficult to decide. With that in mind, we here at Missouri Radio thought it useful to have a little basics on how to choose the right two-way radio system to meet your needs, yet save you some money.
One of the first factors to consider is portability. Will this two-way radio or two-way radio system have to go with you everywhere, will it be sufficient in your vehicle, or will it be at a stationary location? Portable radios, as the name suggests, are portable. You can easily carry them with you wherever you go and require no installation. Mobile two-way radios and vehicular repeaters are typically permanently mounted in a vehicle and require minimal installation. Most technically-oriented and handy people can install a mobile two-way radio on their own with little installation instructions. It is very similar to installing a car radio. For those who feel uncomfortable with the thought and are local, we can install it for you. For those not local, but still feel the need for installation help, there are plenty of installation services out there to choose from. Lastly is the repeater or base station. The model of repeater or base station will depend on the amount of installation required. Some base stations are the equivalent of installing a radio in a box that contains the power supply, while some repeaters are referred to as rack mount. The first thing that comes to most people's mind is "Well, I'll just go with a portable. Why would I want to worry about any installation?" Here is why: It has to do with distance a radio will transmit. We will get more specific in a minute, but for now the important thing to understand is basically the more portable the radio, the less distance it will transmit or cover on it's own.
The second factor to consider is the RF power output or transmission power. Most portables come with anywhere from 1 - 5 watts and some are adjustable. Mobiles can go anywhere from about 20 to 60 watts, while repeaters can go up to 100 watts. I wish there was an easy rule like 1 watt equals 1 mile of coverage but there isn't. The distance or coverage you will acheive will depend on many factors. Some things to consider are the transmission power of the radio, the frequency (certain frequencies go further) and the terrain (certain frequencies are more line of sight and some will pretty much go thru concrete). Since we will obviously not be able to cover all the real world possibilities, we recommend you call or email one our experienced sales representatives for the best possible recommendation for you. With that in mind, lets keep it general. In general, 800 mhz will have good penetration being able to go thru a certain amount of concrete for example. VHF has good distance, coverage but is more line of sight. Adding in hills, mountain ranges or buildings is going to decrease your coverage. UHF is a combination of distance and penetration. UHF will have better penetration than VHF, but will not go as far. Since this is being written with the novice who may never have had a two-way radio, we are keeping this simple. Since we realize most of you will already know your specific frequencies, this is for those who have no past experience.
There are other ways, but the two main ways that two-way radios communicate are either radio-to-radio or via a repeater.
Radio-to-radio is referred to as "simplex." It's simple. You have two radios on the same frequency. Your coverage is only as far as the least will transmit. So for instance, you have two radios on the same frequency. Radio number one can transmit 3 miles, and radio number two can transmit 5 miles. Your coverage is 3 miles, since past that point, one will no longer be able to communicate with the other.
Let's talk about communication via a repeater. With a repeater in the mix, the two radios are no longer communicating directly with each other, but the signal goes from radio one to the repeater. The repeater repeats and boosts the signal out to radio number two. Radio two communicates back to radio number one in the same basic way. So with the same two radios from our first example with a repeater in between, then you could now be 8 miles apart. Radio number one could be 3 miles to the east of the repeater and radio number two could be 5 miles to the west of the repeater. Depending on your needs and budget, you can set up systems to go from just a few miles to complete coverage of hundreds of miles.
Although not discussed yet, one main consideration will no doubt be price. Two-way radio and systems go anywhere from $30 to tens of thousands of dollars. It will all boil down to your needs and budget. While a $30 frs two-way radio may be just fine for the kids to play war in the back yard or to talk to your significant other while one is in the yard and one is inside, that same radio won't be of any use to, say, a fire fighter who has to depend on the reliability of it to save his or her life. Don't despair. Getting a good radio doesn't have to break the bank either. The Motorola CP200 is a very nicely priced general feature radio. They are 4-watt UHF or 5 Watt VHF, 16-channel with lots of options. The Icom IC-F3011/4011 series is a great low priced option. For our fire figther friends there is the IC-F50 - IC-F60 series which now come with voice recorder / storage at no additional charge. Let's not forget about our military friends who might want a Bendix King Rapid Deployment Portable Repeater Series.
If you've read this far, you have probably determined that the options and factors to consider when purchasing a two-way radio could be endless. We could go on about things like analog verses digital, pl's verses dpl's (private lines vs. digital private lines) and many many more things but we won't. Just know that there are experienced people available and happy to help you decide what it is that you need while making sure you don't waste a lot of money on things you don't. Feel free to call us toll free at 1-888-681-8863 or email your questions to http://www.moradio.com/ContactUs.aspx
Thanks and have a great day,

LAFAYETTE (AP) — A 60-year-old woman accused of stealing more than $500,000 from her employer has pleaded guilty to a charge of wire fraud.
U.S. Attorney Stephanie A. Finley's office said Monday that Carol A. Thrasher, of Lake Charles, entered the plea before U.S. District Judge Richard T. Haik in Lafayette.
According to evidence presented at the plea hearing, Thrasher admitted that from January 2007 to April 2012, while working as a manager for a company in Westlake, she stole $551,357.
Authorities say she had access to her company's bank account and used funds from it to pay the balance of a personal credit card numerous times over the five-year period.
Thrasher faces up to 20 years in prison, restitution and a $250,000 fine. A sentencing date has not been set.

Well, sort of...lol.
Is Renner still around? I just bought an '89 GTI 16V that has a very old Renner sticker on the back. I was wondering if Ivo or any of the old gang were around that may know who this car used to belong to? Pretty sure the engine is stock, though it does have a mean lope to it at idle. Not familiar enough with 16V's to know if it has cams or not, but I think not.
H&R Cup kit, rear ABD sway, 16" BBS RK's...had a single round grill I think, but now has the dual round setup (90-92).

NASA has selected 24 small satellites, including three from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., to fly as auxiliary payloads aboard rockets planned to launch in 2014, 2015 and 2016. The proposed CubeSats come from universities across the country, a Florida high school, several non-profit organizations and NASA field centers.
CubeSats belong to a class of research spacecraft called nanosatellites. The cube-shaped satellites measure about 4 inches (10 centimeters) on each side, have a volume of about 1 quart (1 liter), and weigh less than 3 pounds (1.1 kilograms).
The selections are from the fourth round of the CubeSat Launch Initiative. After launch, the satellites will conduct technology demonstrations, educational research or science missions. The selected CubeSats will be eligible for flight after final negotiations and an opportunity for flight becomes available.
The following organizations submitted winning satellite proposals:
The three CubeSats from JPL, which is managed for NASA by the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, are:
In the three previous rounds of the CubeSat initiative, NASA has selected 63 missions for flight. The agency's Launch Services Program Educational Launch of Nanosatellite (ELaNa) Program has launched 12 CubeSat missions. This year, 22 CubeSat missions are scheduled for flight.

I am interested in TBHs. I saw a picture of one I had to have. Construction has begun. I have one side completed and am almost finished with the second side. I hope this works out. The picture I saw shows a TBH with at least one window on the side.
I had scavanged some lexan and wasn't sure what I was going to do with it.
The drawings are based on Scot McPherson's construction.
Both sides will have viewing ports, 8-1/2" x 14". I origionally planned 16" long, but when I measured the lexan, the most economical use was 14". This is positioned at the front of hive where the brood nest will be. Sliding doors will cover the lexan unless I'm being nosey.
A follower will be used since there seems to be concensus that bees get discouraged if they are presented with too large an empty space.

On Saturday afternoon, Maoists killed the officer's two security guards and then abducted him from Majhipara village in Keralapal area of the Naxal-infested district.
Meanwhile, the Collector's kin has appealed to Maoists to release her husband on the humanitarian grounds.

It's not easy being a king. Granted, it's not easy being a peasant either, but at least you're not expected to inspire your subjects when you're down on your luck. Not that Arthur is doing much to inspire devotion following the successful strike by Morgana and Helios against Camelot. Instead, trapped in Ealdor and dwelling on Agravaine's betrayal, Arthur is busy being a Big Mister Mope Pants. Can Merlin prepare his lord for the fight ahead? Jonathan Wright
The Many Faces Of Les Dawson
9pm, BBC2
Excellent clip/talking head profile of Les Dawson, progeny of the north-west club scene, and from his late 30s until his death, a mainstay of comedy and light entertainment on television. Proper stars like John Cleese and Robert Webb duly doff their caps, which is diverting enough, but the real fun is in the archive material, whether it be Les singing with Lulu, his magnificently satirical piano-playing, or his deadpan one-liners. Features many a reference to Dawson's equivalent of Moriarty, his mother-in-law. John Robinson
9.20pm, BBC1
Sheer affection for the hapless Brockman clan sustains this seasonal episode, which, although perfectly watchable, isn't up to the standard of their last Christmas special. We may even be coming to the end of the line for this excellent series – the children are getting older and seeming more like regular middle-class sitcom kids, rather than the striking, precocious infant improvisers of yore. Tonight, a Premium Bond win has afforded them the opportunity of a Christmas break in the sun. But before the airport dash, there's an emergency trip to the dentist for Karen and a visit to a now ward-bound granddad, lost in a world of sing-song. David Stubbs

Van Alden has fled Atlantic City (don't worry, he'll be back next season), but Nucky has his trail to face in this terrific, game-changing season finale. Jimmy and Richard find the Klansmen who stormed Chalky's joint and deliver them to him, on the condition that Jimmy gets a meeting with Nucky. But both sides have their "issues" to work out, and it isn't going to be an easy reconciliation. Rebecca Nicholson
Johnny Cash Christmas Special 1977/1978
9.30pm, Sky Arts 1
Sky Arts are giving Cash fans a chance to see two Christmas specials from the late 1970s. The first features a tribute to Elvis Presley, who died during the summer of 1977, and features Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis and Roy Orbison. Mixed in with the rockabilly performances are seasonal renditions of Frosty The Snowman and Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer. The 1978 show, recorded in Hollywood, features Kris Kristofferson and singer Rita Coolidge, plus a hot new comic named Steve Martin. Johnny's Wife, June Carter Cash, also joins in the singing and festivities. Martin Skegg
Timeshift: Epic – A Cast Of Thousands!
10.40pm, BBC4
One of the most reliable motifs of Christmas broadcasting, along with will-to-live-sapping comedy specials, is the repeat of the sword-and-sandal biblical epics of yore. This documentary is therefore as timely as it is riveting – a revisiting of an extraordinary period in cinematic history in which the imaginations of great directors operated far ahead of available technology, which meant that there was no recourse to CGI for bringing off the colossal set-pieces of El Cid, Ben Hur, Cleopatra and The Ten Commandments. Civilisations were rebuilt, armies recruited, madness and bankruptcy tempted, enduring wonders achieved. Andrew Mueller

President's Notes: An Island View
Please enjoy this recent update from Audubon Florida executive director Eric Draper as he explores Bingham Island:
I was excited the other day to take Hillie Mahoney, Bob Merrill and Bob's family on a boat and waking tour of Bingham Island, an Audubon Sanctuary located in Lake Worth immediately across from Hillie's beautiful home. Audubon holds a long-term lease on the island from the Bingham Family and is charged with maintaining it for its natural beauty and bird habitat value.
Our first sight on nearing the island was a dancing Reddish Egret. Although it retreated to the treetops during the boat tour, Hillie told me that she has seen the bird many times. Arriving at the island, part of which forms the causeway of the Southern Boulevard Bridge to Palm Beach, I could see why Hillie wanted her grandsons to see and explore the island.
After working our way through a well-worn cut through the island and noticing the oysters on the roots of the mangrove trees we pulled around to a sandy bank on the lagoon side. Bob and his sons were quickly moving along a trail through the island while our captain and guide, Audubon biologist and sanctuary manager Ann Paul picked shore litter.
Lake Worth Lagoon in that area receives considerable discharge from the C-51 canal, which carries stormwater drainage and a lot of debris from as far away as the Everglades.
I was very excited to see the boys captivated with crabs on the island. They seemed to sense that Bingham Island is indeed a special place, part of a very special water body – Lake Worth.
Hillie and Bob have taken a special interest in Audubon and have helped ensure that our Everglades science staff have safe boats to carry out their research duties. Thank you!

Baghdad (AP) - A suicide bomber blew up his booby-trapped car early Monday outside an Iraqi army battalion headquarters in the country's east, killing 10 soldiers and wounding 29 people in a bombing that brought down the building.
Diyala provincial council spokeswoman Samira al-Shibli said emergency workers were still frantically trying to rescue victims from beneath the rubble several hours later.
Diyala health directorate spokesman Faris al-Azawi said the bomber drove his car past a security gate and detonated his explosives right outside the headquarters of an army intelligence battalion in Kanan, east of the provincial capital of Baqouba, 35 miles (60 kilometers) northeast of Baghdad.
An army commander in Diyala described a horrific scene of the building collapsing on soldiers inside. He said the bomber drove his car up through a back gate and through a yard to get to the headquarters.
The commander spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to brief the media. He said dozens of soldiers were killed or wounded.
Al-Azawi said 10 soldiers were killed. He said at least 29 people also were wounded, including 14 soldiers.
Al-Shibli, the council spokeswoman, said a second bomb was discovered nearby but diffused by officials before it could explode. She said the first blast may have been from a bomb in a parked car. Conflicting information is common in the immediate hours after an attack.
A senior Iraqi intelligence official in Baghdad blamed the attack on al-Qaida and said authorities believe the same cell of insurgents may also be plotting a similar strike against security forces in the capital.
He said al-Qaida suspects being held in prison have tipped off authorities to the upcoming threat, and said insurgents have already planned a strike in Baghdad but need funding to carry it out.
The intelligence official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to brief the media.
In January, the Islamic State of Iraq, an al-Qaida front group, has claimed responsibility for two bombings at security force headquarters in Baqouba that together killed 10 people.
Lara Jakes in Baghdad contributed to this report.

Jason had a pretty good visit to the PACU this morning and came back to his room with just a little smaller bandage. Of course it could have been a result of how they did the wrapping of the wounds this time, but I prefer to think that it is a result of his wounds healing up a bit... ;-) When he got to his room he began with the typical actions of the medical staff to get him set up when the Occupational Therapy person showed up. She had him doing exercises and working with him to improve his over all motions with his arms and shoulders. Just as she finished the Physical Therapy team showed up and they went to work on helping him build up his core muscles and as a result he showed that he was able to nearly turn over in the bed, on his own. This is a really big thing for Jason, in that he is moving more, as well as feeling more confident on the bed that he is on. We were all excited about how well he is continuing to progress.
Because Jason is getting stronger and more able to do different things, the "Therapy" folks will be working more frequently with him. The focus is to continue building his strength as well as the range of motion for his arms. Each little step that he takes gets him closer to healing completely, and we are all anxious for him to get to the point of where he will be able to move on to his next level of rehab, which is known as amputee rehab. Not too much else to report on today, and that is okay by me.
Thank you, all for your continued support and all your prayers for Jason and all the others, and their families.
This is a blog to chronicle this portion of the life of Staff Sgt. Jason Ross, my son, as he mends, after an I.E.D. explosion, on March 7, 2011, while serving his country in Afghanistan.

Folkmoot performers join Mountain Street Dance
Mountain Street Dances, sponsored by the Downtown Waynesville Association, are held from 6 to 9 p.m. Friday evenings in front of the historic Haywood County Courthouse.
The Main Street area, immediately in front of the courthouse, is closed to traffic and parking at 5 p.m. Instead of the usual cars' attendees will find a stage, bleachers, and asphalt covered with a thick dusting of corn meal to create a dance area.
Bring a lawn chair or blanket, limited bleacher seating is available. Bring your dancing shoes, but leave pets at home as they are not allowed by town ordinance. Light refreshments are available at the venue for purchase and downtown restaurants are open for dinner.
Lively instructions are given by master of ceremonies and dance caller, Joe Sam Queen, who throughout the evening teaches audience members some basic square dancing in the traditional Appalachian style.
Each night features a bluegrass band, performances by a local clogging team, and intermission entertainment by The Trantham Family. This Friday's entertainment will be provided by Eddie Rose & Highway 40 and the Green Valley Cloggers. Folkmoot performers will also be joining in on the dance.
