WTF?!: LAUSD to use fingerprint scans for school lunches




A high-tech idea of the Los Angeles Unified School District has run into a lot of questions. The district wants to use a "finger scan" system to save money, speed up cafeteria lines and eliminate the problem of forgotten lunch money. Some are worried about student privacy.

Whether it's sloppy joes, a slice of pizza or just a carton of milk, every item in the school cafeteria must be paid for. And with thousands of students going through lunch lines every day, officials with the Los Angeles Unified School District have found one way to make the process more efficient, with a touch of a finger.

"It's very safe. The children don't have to bring money to school," said Foshay Learning Center Principal Yvonne Edwards.
Edwards says James A. Foshay Learning Center in South L.A. was the first school in the district to try out the technology in a pilot program.

Edwards says not has only the scanner made it easier for students who tend to forget their lunch money, but it also masks which students pay for their food with subsidized meal tickets.
"When people knew that they were on free or reduced lunch, especially at the high school level, no one wanted anyone to know, so sometimes they would not eat. But the great thing about it is that everyone can eat now. Everyone does eat, and they feel good about eating," said Edwards.

But the American Civil Liberties Union and some parents are worried about privacy.
"We don't use fingerprint identification to pay for our groceries at the grocery store or our clothes at a department store," said ACLU attorney Peter Bibring. "So why would we ask our children to provide their fingerprints to pay for lunches at school?"

"It doesn't seem right because they're only kids," said parent Roy Smith. "So I don't really think it's necessary to fingerprint them for them to get something to eat."
But no school will be forced to adopt the new system. In fact, individual students can opt out. Instead of scanning their finger, they'll have to type in a seven-digit code on a PIN pad.

District officials say unlike a full fingerprint, the machines only capture a partial image. They say each print is then discarded and replaced by a numerical number to identify a student for the school year.

Some students have mixed feelings about the program.
"Sometimes the line can take long because the machine don't work," said student Jeffrey Flores.
"Sometimes [I think it's weird] because what if they use it for something else?" said student Elizabeth Garcia.

The district will be spreading the technology to all schools that accept it by 2012.

In Case You Arent Dying Fast Enough: Burger King Set To Introduce 2520 Calorie NY Pizza Burger


With the KFC Double Down getting all that attention (and sales success), we were bound to get more garish imitators with more calories than our wildest imaginations. And this is the latest heir to the fattiest food itemthrone…the NY Pizza Burger, a new Burger King sandwich which features four Whoppers and a bevy of pizza toppings.


The NY Pizza Burger, expected to debut early next month in midtown, features a gut-busting four broiled Whopper burgers.
It’s topped with pepperoni, mozzarella and marinara sauce, all stacked on a 9-1/2-inch sesame seed bun. The burger is cut into six pizza-style slices, allowing diners to share the agita and the ecstasy.
The massive meal will join the menu at the Whopper Bar in Times Square, the new 24-hour, seven-day-a-week flagship fast food outlet.
Burger King says the NY Pizza Burger contains 420 calories and 24 grams of fat per serving.

Mel Gibson At It Again

Looks like Mel Gibson’s baby momma Oksana Grigorieva – mother of his months old daughter has released tapes to the court of an angry argument she had with the actor/producer where he said some rather derogatory things.  Oksana currently has a restraining order, but according to reports is still fearing for her safety after splitting with Mel.  Read an excerpt of the tape recording below:
You’re an embarrassment to me. You look like a fucking pig in heat, and if you get raped by a pack of n***ers, it will be your fault.
“How dare you act like such a bitch when I have been so fucking nice.”
“I am going to come and burn the fucking house down… but you will blow me first.”
“Look what you did to me… look what you are… look what every part of you is… fucking fake… fucking fake. You are the most synthetic person… who the fuck are you?”

If This Is Your Daughter, You're A Terrible Parent.

Just In Case You Don't Think You're Dying Fast Enough...........



Try one of these. After the roaring success that was KFC’s Double Down (which, if you recall, has two chicken breasts in lieu of bread), you knew there’d be copycats trying to cash in on the “more is more” philosophy And now’s the new heir to the throne, Friendly’s Grilled Cheese BurgerMelt which has a burger and two grilled cheese sandwiches in the place of a bun.


According to Consumerist, the calorie content of the sandwich comes in at:
1500 Calories
870 Fat Calories
79g Total Fat
38g Saturated Fat
180g Cholesterol
2090mg Sodium
101g Carbs
9g Dietary Fiber
4g Sugar

Those numbers theoretically make the sandwich about three times as worse as a KFC Double Down.
