With the attempted bombing on a flight to Detroit on Christmas Day and the security lapse at Newark Airport, travelers face increased obstacles in airfare around the world. Security administrators and personnel have issued statements that have had varied levels of reception among travelers.

Globetrotters of New Canaan High School’s very own saw major changes while waiting for transport in America as well as overseas during the holiday break. Richard Webb, the head of the social studies department, traveled to London two days before Christmas and then journeyed to Paris after four days in England.

While Mr. Webb was in Europe, Abdul Farouk Adulmutallab…

Since the first blog post of Replay was an album review for a wildly popular new album, (which in 48 hours has 6 out of 14 songs in the iTunes top 100) I’m going to throw some singles at you.

Ready, set, go: Dressing well in 10 minutes or less

Truth be told, the best way to put together an outfit is the night before the event (school). But, really, between English papers, sports, theater, video chats, all-important facebook communication, and meals, how many of us can afford the luxury of pre-gaming our outfit choices?

After all, the holidays are about being with family and friends. What’s better to represent that than with a cozy red sweater or a soft blue scarf. The colors seem to melt the ice and snow outside to create a more friendly environment with the people you are with.

At the skilled hands of Dr. Luke, her executive producer under RCA Records, Ke$ha has risen to fame only to be perpetuated by the release of her highly anticipated debut album “Animal”. To listen in click here: http://music.aol.com/new-releases-full-cds/#/1 for a free listen on AOL Music.

Looking at the song list pre-order on iTunes right before Tik Tok hit the top tens with titles such as “Your Love is my Drug”, “Party at a Rich Dudes House”, and “Dinosaur”, it looked like a one hit wonder was about to happen. I couldn’t have been more wrong. Its been about 24 hours since the release and already claimed iTunes top album overtaking Lady Gaga…
